“And the Princess lived happily with her prince in a big castle forever after” Daphne read the last page of her kids' bedtime story out in a low voice.They were already drifting off to sleep as usual and she started humming a song considering how much it helps them sleep faster after their bedtime stories.Just when Daphne stood up to leave she noticed a strong grip on the hem of her blouse which stopped her from moving further. She examined the situation and saw Darcie tugging at it with eyes wide open.“Hey princess,” she said as she caress her fine golden hair, working her fingers through the curls.“Why are you still awake?” She asked with a face full of affection.Darcie loved it, she smiled and sniffed her mother’s scent “I love the smell of mommy” she stated.Daphne smiled and kissed her nose “Pretty little thing” she said all smiles.“Mommy about the princess that kissed the frog...” she said.“Yes, princess? What is it with the frog?” Daphne asked.“If the princess wasn’t so

Armed men in suits kicked the door of the small bar opened and screams filled the air. On seeing heavily built men with guns and grave-looking expressions, customers scrambled to safety.The owner of the bar came out of one of the rooms and bowed her head in respect.“Room 10 by the right boss,” she said.Black mobilized his men immediately “I’m sorry for scaring your customers away Lady Mi” he apologized.“There wouldn’t be this bar talk much of customers without your help sir. This way, I will escort you” Lady Mi said.“No! You stay... do not ruin your business”Black said and then left her on the spot.With a known look, he cock his gun on the way as he strutted toward the door of the said room.He fired shots repeatedly at the doorknob and cries came from the other side.Tyson kicked open the door to see four girls trembling on the bare floor and this bald man struggling to get his gun from his jacket.Tyson shot at the space beside the jacket putting holes in the cheap jacket.Th

He opened the door of the study room and turn on the light, his eyes swept across the room and with a tired sigh he walked slowly to the bookshelves.His long fingers trailed by the covers of each book as he walked past them. Halting, he removed a green-covered book from the piled-up ones and a secret door opened.He entered the room full of Diane’s pictures and his ammunition. Black opened his computer and clicked on a video that shows Diane and their baby boy, their happy moments in the house, and when his wife just gave birth. It was the happiest moment of his life before everything changed.They are gone now— he lost them to family war and greed. He plunged into his father’s business with how much he despised the lifestyle.Tears welled up in his eyes but he was quick to wipe them off.~Next MorningDaphne’s sleep was interrupted by a knock on the door. She seems to be enjoying her sleep on the king-sized bed. The comfort of the bed was different and heavenly, she felt nothing thr

Daphne came out of the bathroom fully dressed and clean! She was still drying her hair though.“I will have your dirty clothes cleaned and send them over,” Daniel said.“Do you know my house? Don’t you dare! You can throw it out or package it for your fiancé as new, she wouldn’t know” Daphne said.“You now have an unfiltered mouth, Daphne. You were not like this” Daniel said.“Haha, you make me laugh Daniel, people being the cause of the change and still asking you why you changed! You are the main reason why we believe men are scum!” Daphne spat out without restraint.Daniel sighed and smiled “Take it all out on me Daph, I’m happy you are mad at me,” he said.“Don’t feel too good about yourself, this is just who I am now. I don’t strike from behind like the snake you both are!” Daphne said and turned to leave when his hand grabbed her wrist hence pulling her back.“You don’t want answers?” Daniel asked her.“I heard everything that day loud and clear, it’s not worth it to listen to m

As traditions of the household, the bride and the groom must not see each other few days before the wedding and so the old lady arranged a room for Daphne at her side of the Villa. Away from the west wing where Black resides.She knew what was coming and she was ready for the Old lady of the house with whatever lecture she had for her.Early in the morning, the old lady would wake her up to drink a medicinal herb and fertility tea in preparation for the wedding. In the afternoon, she would ride with the Old lady to the spa to take care of her skin and at night they would talk for hours.Daphne didn't set eyes on Black for two days since she had arrived at the house.A day to the wedding, night time ~After having her late-night snacks with the old lady, she was returning to her room when she saw the light in Black’s mansion go off. The entire building and the area went dark.She was told the lights are always off whenever he retires to sleep. She also remembered to have seen the maid
