( UNKNOWN LOCATION )"Boss, it seems like the heiress of the Stones had been found." A young man reported.Seated in front of him was a middle aged man. He was smoking away at his pipe. He exhaled deeply."She is? Hahaha... It seems like the Stones are quite capable after all." The man chuckled."What should I do boss?" The young man asked respectfully."Let her be for a while. Who are the people close to her apart from her parents?" The man asked calmly."She got married recently, and she has a daughter of ten years old." The young man divulged."Is that right? Let them be for a while... Let them enjoy the feeling of bliss.... And when they are nonchalant, and their guards are down, that will be the right time to strike." The man slowly.It was as if he was deliberating his words."Yes boss." The young man bowed and left the study.After he left, the middle aged man clenched his fists."Raphael.... I'm going to destroy you slowly.... Found your little princess, isn't it? I wasn't met
( STEPHEN'S POV )At the police station.I sat in the cell with gritted teeth. Soon.... Soon, I would be released.It was funny how Quinn could have the heart to imprison me."After all our friendship..." I clicked my tongue.I would show them.... All of them....I couldn't imagine how they could.... God....A sound at the cell door made me raise my head.As I did, my gaze met with that of my godfather.Brendon King..."Someone is here to see you." The policeman that I hated the most said.I got up gently, and was led out by the policeman.As the three of us walked over to a room, I wondered why Brendon had come all the way to my cell.What had taken him so long to visit?Brendon calmly sat on one of the chairs amongst the two in the room.Stephen sat opposite him without a word. Both of them engaged in an eye glaring contest for some minutes.Then Brendon cleared his throat,"Is that how you welcome your godfather?" He tapped his walking stick on the floor gently.Stephen remained mu
The Stones family residence.The Stones family were all seated round the dining table, having breakfast. "Mum, your culinary skills are as good as ever." Quinn said between mouthfuls."Of course..." Nicole smiled as she took a bite of her apple cheesecake.Henry laughed lightly when he remembered how similar her words sounded with that of his mum's, the other time.Henry stuffed a piece of sliced turkey on Emelda's plate."Eat more... You look skinny." He smiled."What are you trying to say? We aren't feeding her well?" Lily chuckled."No, no. That's not what I meant." Henry shook his head vehemently."That's by the way... When are we expecting a mini Henry?" Raphael said casually.Henry who was about to take a sip of water, choked on it,'Cough, cough...'Quinn patted him on the back,"That's what you get, from letting grandfather tease you." She laughed."I wasn't teasing him. I'm serious... We already have a mini Quinn, we need a mini Henry." He shrugged."Grandpa..." Quinn chuckl
Khloe's apartment."She's literally avoiding me. Although I pretend like it's fine, it isn't.... I'm hurt." Jayden said with his head bowed."You shouldn't expect her to treat you well, after what you did to her. You betrayed her trust." Khloe said quietly.Her eyes contained a look of pity.She also felt guilty. After all, she also played a part in what happened that night... She felt like she had to bring them back together.Even if they remained friends, and not lovers...."I can't get over her, Khloe.... I can't..." He sniffled.Khloe was silent for a while. She felt there was nothing she could say to console him."Care for a drink?" She was already on her way to her mini bar.She came back with a bottle of wine, and two glasses.She poured the wine into the two glasses, and handed one to Jayden,"Drink up." She said.He nodded and gulped it down. He cleared his throat at the spicy taste at the back of his throat."Another." He handed the glass over to her."She loathes me, Khloe.
Quinn leaned her head calmly on the back passenger's seat. She and her mum had gone shopping."Mum.... What are we going to use all these clothes for? They are much you know..." Although Quinn was complaining, she had a smile on her face."Most of them are for Emelda. She lacks clothes." Nicole shrugged."Mum... Really?!" Quinn widened her eyes and looked at her mum dramatically."What mum? Why are you reacting like that?" Her mother chuckled."Emelda has tons of clothes. Her clothes are more than enough, mum." Quinn chuckled."It wouldn't hurt if we upgraded her wardrobe a little. So stop reacting in that manner." Her mother closed her eyes and placed her fists on her lap.All of a sudden the driver swerved dangerously."What was that? Can't you drive carefully?" Quinn patted her beating heart to calm it down."Sorry madam..." The driver apologized nervously.He didn't know what had happened earlier..."Whatever... Drive carefully." Nicole said.She had also been frightened of what h
Raphael sighed as he sat calmly in his study. In front of him was Henry, who was fidgeting on his seat."What do you think about my offer?" He asked calmly looking at Henry.Henry was silent for a minute."I thought you wanted me to work as your gardener?" He asked."Yes... That was what I wanted. However what I said was merely to test you. How bad would it be, if my daughter's husband was my gardener. Everyone would then assume that you are a live-in son-in-law. It would be a smear on my daughter's reputation. I wouldn't want that." Raphael said."Oh.. I never thought of that. All I wanted was to make it up to her. I knew I hurt her, so I am willing to undergo any punishment to prove my sincerity." Henry said solemnly."Do you think I would give my granddaughter to someone who would hurt my granddaughter?" Raphael asked.Henry looked at him squarely. Of course he wouldn't!The Stones weren't fools... Their daughter's happiness was their priority."I'm not leaving you with any choice.
Henry carried the drunk Quinn upstairs.'Why did she drink so much?' Henry wondered as he carefully placed her on the bed.Her body reeked of alcohol. Henry facepalmed himself. Couldn't her friends pity her a little?He pulled off her shoes, and threw them on the floor. He tried pulling her up,"Aaahh..." She seemed heavy today.Was it true that when someone was drunk, they weighed much more than they did when they weren't drunk?He shook his head; what nonsense was he thinking?He pulled her up, and placed her on his shoulders. Heaving a little, he took her straight into the bathroom.She needed to shower before sleeping. He wouldn't be able to sleep with her like that.He placed her under the shower and heartlessly turned it on.Quinn turned a little when she felt the cold shower raining down on her."What the hell?-" She slurred out.She then shrieked,"Damn you Henry!!! What the fuck I'm I doing under the shower?!" She shouted."Nothing... Taking a shower, I guess." He chuckled.
Quinn joined Henry at the balcony. They were free that day. Emelda was with her grandparents.She hugged him from behind, and inhaled his manly scent."You were asleep, so I didn't want to disturb you." Henry smiled."You did well... If you had woken me up, I would have cut off your balls..." Quinn dug her nails into his back."Hey, that hurt.." Henry yelped." But you don't say that whenever we are making love, do you?" Quinn chuckled."That's different. Whenever we are making love, I'm in a state of ecstasy... So, I don't feel whatever pain you inflict on me." Henry said as he breathed in the early morning air."Is that right? I would test it out today then." Quinn laughed lightly."You wouldn't dare to." Henry refuted."Why do you say so? I will inflict pain on you tonight, when we are making love." Quinn vowed playfully."That is too far." Henry replied."What is?""Leaving the infliction of pain, till night, is too far. Why don't you do it now?" Henry provoked."What? You want to
