Octavius who was at the stairs heard her shout and frowned as he wondered why she was screaming and when he left, she was just fine.He glanced at the master bedroom door then started descending downstairs and ignored her as he knew that she wasn’t in any danger.How can something happen to her or someone invades their house with all the men guarding outside?Rhiannon remained silent as she listened to hear whether the door had been opened or not as she knew that he was just nearby and had surely heard her scream.After waiting for five minutes no one walked in, she frowned and walked into the bathroom with an angry expression, and she felt wronged.‘That bastard! What if I broke my leg when bathing and screamed his name? Can’t he come and see what’s wrong?’ she asked herself as she stepped into the bathtub.She didn’t dare use the shower as she felt that what she had just said a few minutes ago might be true thus to avoid accidents, she opted to use the bathtub.At the same time, she
Just as Octavius thought that things were going on smoothly, he was shocked when he discovered that Rhiannon had changed the rooms once more and every time he tried to get close to her, she would excuse herself.It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask her what was wrong and why she was angry with him, but he was afraid that after asking her, whatever he said would be so displeasing and also affect him.Rhiannon went on for a week, giving him a cold shoulder while Octavius tried his best to get his attention.At the same time, that one week had been torture to Kaylee and Mrs Clark in prison.They had initially thought that Mr Clark would do anything and everything in his power to get them out but they were shocked and dumbfounded by what he did.He ignored them and pretended that his family wasn’t arrested. Every day, he would go to the company early in the morning and go back home very late as he didn’t see the need to go home so early.Kaylee and her mother tried contacting him but ever
Rhiannon was seated on her office chair when her phone started ringing.She frowned as she glanced at where she had placed it wondering who might be calling her at that time.The call ended while she was still debating whether to pick it up or not.She stretched her hand, took it then switched it on so that she could see who was calling her.Just before she took a glance, she received an incoming call.Having no other choice, she picked it up.“Hello,” she said immediately she picked it and placed her the phone on her right ear“Hello, madam. Am I talking to Miss Rhiannon?” the person on the other side said, causing Rhiannon to glance at the screen again.“Yes, may I know who I am speaking to, please?” she asked politely as she continued going through the documents that were on the table.“That’s good. I am a prison warden,” the person on the other side said her occupation without saying her name in fear that Rhiannon might tell the high-ups about her collaboration with the Clarks’ mo
Rhiannon nodded her head then thanked the bodyguard before walking to her father’s office.She knocked at the door when she arrived outside his office.“Come in,” a cold voice sounded in the room.Rhiannon opened the door and walked in.“Is there something that needs my signing? I am going through these documents so that I cannot submit them to Rhiannon with any mistake as it will take her time as she goes through them,” Mr Clark said immediately he heard someone walking in and closing the door behind thinking it was his secretary.Rhiannon pursed her lips as she stared at her father.‘No wonder all the documents that are been brought are flawless. I didn’t expect him to go through them before I needed them just because he wanted to help me. Now I understand why my work has been so easy,’ She said in her head as she felt conflicted.Although her father had never given her any finance or support, he always told her to take care of herself and that the money he was supposed to give her
Sitting on her bed which was covered in green bed covers, she felt that she was lucky. Even though her father didn't love her and her grandparents were gone, she had her stepsister and fiancée who loved her deeply. She vowed that she would return their gratitude one way or another.Rhiannon stood up as a thought flashed in her mind making her walk to her closet while humming to choose the perfect outfit.After scanning her dresses one after another, she picked a green dress since green was Aaron's favorite, and had always said that she looked more beautiful in it."Ma'am, are you going out?" Mary, the housekeeper and the one who took care of her after her mother's death asked. To her, Mary was like the second mother whom she wished for. Always caring, and kind and made sure that she never slept with an empty stomach even when she was been punished."Yes, Mary. I am going to surprise Aaron," the lady said with a charming smile on her face.Looking at the young mistress smiling, the old
She felt her head was heavy and throbbing. She tried opening her eyes and after a couple of tries, she gradually opened them only to be met by a white ceiling and white-painted walls. From the room's smell, she knew that she was in the hospital. Trying so hard to think how she ended up here, she later recalled the misfortune she had passed making her sigh deeply."You are awake," a deep voice said coldly, making her wonder what kind of a person it was to talk to a patient in that manner.The man who was seated on the couch beside the hospital bed was looking at her emotionless making his secretary who was leaning against the door wonder what his boss was thinking."Go call the doctor and tell him that she is awake," he said still not averting his eyes from her.His words made her realize that there was more than one person in the room. Anxiously, she tried to wake up and sit so that she could know what was going on."W...ho," she tried talking but her throat was aching badly since.Th
Rhiannon was shocked to hear the words that came from the man's mouth."What makes you think that I would get married? To you especially?" she asked as she tried her best to stay calm.Amused by her cute angry face, the man said with a wicked smile on his face," Why won't you? Aren't I your greatest benefactor? I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead by now.""Yes, you are but I will pay you instead. How can I get married to a stranger just because he saved my life?" she asked since to her the man was not been reasonable."I saved your life, can't that be enough reason to want you to also save my life?""But you aren't dying, are you?" she asked curiously since she could tell that the man was so fit and couldn't be suffering from any terminal disease."How would you know if you won't accept my offer?" he asked as he wondered why the woman was still refusing his offer.He looked at himself through his phone's screen wondering whether he wasn't good-looking any
"Rhiannon, is that you?" the person from the other side said in disbelief."Nanny, it's me," Rhiannon said with a smile and her eyes were so calm."How, didn't you die in the fire?" Mary asked."I managed to escape," she said and her eyes turned cold making the atmosphere in the room so terrifying."How? How did you? The fire...." Mary wanted to ask but she couldn't finish her words because just the thought itself made her start crying again."They wanted to kill me. Don't tell anyone that I am alive yet," she said in a cold voice.On the other side, when Mary had a terrifying tone, she was shocked to the core. It reminded her of Rhiannon's mother when she was angry. Nonetheless, this was the first time she had the young lady talk in such a tone making her know that her young mistress was so mad this turn. She knew what kind of bloodline ran in Rhiannon's body and what they were capable of doing when they were mad. After all, she was still the one who had taken care of the young mistr
