Cherry nodded her head and pressed her face on his toned shoulder, seeking solace for her racing heart. Stacy tapped Cherry on her back. "But how do we escape from them? The guards are not here and if we should call on the cops, I doubt they will make it here on time,” Stacy tried to come up with a plan to get away from them without a scratch on either of them. "Do we need to call on the cops?” Bruce chuckled. "It seems you do not know the devil you married yet,” Stacy’s jaw dropped again. "You shouldn't say such words around our daughter, Bruce,” Stacy scolded as she sneered her lips. "That's bad parenting,” "What did I say wrong?” Bruce asked, feigning innocence. "She is my first child after all. so it's normal to make mistakes while parenting the first child but you need not worry. When Pookie has younger siblings then we will be the best parent in the US,” He winked at her and Stacy momentarily forgot the dangerous situation they were in as a blush crept up her chee

"Pack the bodies,” Bruce instructed and was about to return back to Stacy and Cherry when the guard stopped him. "Sir,” He called and Bruce turned to him swiftly with a raised brow. "Sir, I have a feeling that this assassination has something to do with the Hawk family,” The guard revealed. Bruce scoffed. "I thought as much. They are the only ones I might have offended recently. It's crazy that that’s the best they can do but it turns out to be very stupid,” "Yes, indeed it is. I was wondering why Mr. Hawk just decided to let us off after killing Daniel Hawk, his son, but it turned out that the old man did not really let us off,” The guard paused to hold in his laughter. "But at the same time, what he did was dumb,” the guard stated out of fact cause what reasonable person would send such inexperienced men to kill his boss if not a fool? "Yeah, if he is really serious about killing me then he should try to do better next time. I don't always have the time to handle little

"It's fine, Ma'am, he did not mean to push me. I'm fine," Eddie tried to stop Stacy from yelling at him. "No, it's not. Take a look at what he did for your head. How could he do this to a girl?" Stacy was mad at him. She looked up at him. "Did you think she's me? Do you think she's the same Stacy you and your mom had treated so badly and sent out of the estate gate under the heavy downpour of rain two weeks ago?!“ Stacy asked furiously, remembering the day Olivia and Edward had treated her like she was a bag of garbage that needed to be thrown away into a garbage bin. "What's going on here? what was that noise all about?" Bruce asked as he stepped out of the room with his hand in his pocket. He glanced at Stacy and saw that she was glaring daggers at Edward as she held onto Eddie. He glanced at Edward. Edward had an unbothered look on his face as he looked away from Stacy. Bruce sighed. "What did you do this time again, Edward?" Bruce asked tiredly but Edward didn't

"I know and I am very sorry for getting you worked up. I just didn't know what to say. or rather, I didn't know how to ask you. I'm very sure it sounded weird 'cause we are already married," Bruce chuckled weirdly. "But this ring symbolizes a lot of things including my love for you, Stacy," Stacy felt her heart warm up as a tear threatened to fall off from the side of her eyes but she blinked it back. "Get up first. I don't like this position you are in," Stacy tried to laugh off the awkward and emotional moment. "No, this is the right way to propose. I can't propose while standing cause it is wrong. Accept the ring first then I can consider getting up to my feet,“ Bruce bargained and Stacy rolled her eyes. "You are so persistent,“ She shook her head in disbelief. "You must have given your mom such a headache when you were little. who knows, maybe Cherry got those traits from you after all,“ "I agree with you. I am her dad after all. That's why I always laugh it off when

The guards began pulling Vanessa’s arms without warning as they dragged her out of the door. “What are you doing? Do you know who I am? You, worthless guards, can't reach up to my standards even in the years to come!“ Vanessa yelled at the guards as they effortlessly pulled her feminine body out of the building even after Vanessa struggled not to move an inch but the guard's strength overpowered hers. "Bruce Yates! Get your fucking self out of there! You dare to ruin my career over that wretched wife of yours from a stupid family! Believe me, I would frustrate you guys. I will ruin your relationship with that bitch! I will ruin you all, just watch and see!“ Vanessa screamed. A Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up before the tall glass building of the Yates company and a hefty bodyguard dressed in a black uniform and sunshade came down from the driver's side of the car went to the back seat and opened the door. He bowed before the figure who sat in the car before he stepped to the si
