David's POV I work out of the house leaving molly behind me. I got to the car and she rushed after me. "'david wait for me." I looked at her and I stopped. She waited beside me expecting me to help her with the door. I open the door and got in and I lock the door immediately after I entered. Molly just stood out there looking at me from the glass, expecting me to probably open the door and let her in but i didn't. I sat there and brought out my phone, I sent a text to some of my boys and l asked them to immediately get to work in search of favour. I know Mom would not harm favour as long as I did as she asked. So I will do as instructed to buy some time until I get favour out of her grasp. I send the text and immediately put the phone back in my pocket. I look at the window again andl noticed that molly was still there standing there outside the door. I shook my head at her stupidity and I knock on the window to get her attention.
David's POV I could already tell that peace was sad because of favour. So I called Mom and she connected me with the guys watching over favours. I called him and I passed the phone to peace. I watch her cry hearing favour's voice and she wanted to know if favour was okay so I helped her switch to video call, where she can see how well favour is. I watched and listened to their conversation and as soon as was done she passed me the phone and I got up to leave. I thought she might need some time to herself. However, I wasn't expecting peace to hold me back. I look back at her and she hugged me. "Thank You." She said as shehugged me. I pulled her closer to hug her tighter, but her belly was getting in the way. So I gave a side hug and added a kiss to her cheek. "Don't worry, I will get her out of there soon".I said and she nodded in response. "Have you eaten?". I asked and she shook her head. "Wh
David's POVI stood still and watched peace as she spoke, despair course through as I listen to her words. I couldn't believe all I was hearing peace say and as much as I don't like being mad at peace, I just can't help it right now. I could see peace staring at me in disbelief. She has never seen me being so fierce before. However, I couldn't help it. Peace awakens different feelings in me but right now her words has awaken my fury. I can't believe that peace thinks of everything we had as just a deal!I Love her, and I never cease to hint at it. I have always showed my feelings to her, why then does she still thinks she is just someone I employed. I agree that it all started as a deal but haven't we gone further than that? We've been together like a couple would and we like being in each other's company. What more can one ask? I was about to speak and try to make peace see things from my point of view, However, I stopped as I heard her repeat those same words that hurt

"We should indeed stop now.""I mean everything." Peace said, making my head whip to her side."What do you mean everything?" I ask in trepidation. It had better not be what I amthinking."I mean everything David's," peace took my hand and looked at me. "I don't want want us confusing ourselves and others too.""What?!

David's POVI wait for some time for peace toat least think about it but her mind was made up. I nod my head and plunge my hand in my pocket. "Okay, peace." "If you won't accept me then fine, I will get married to molly just like you want. I will be the sacrificial lamb for your happiness.Will that be okay?". Peace didn't respond but I can swear I saw guilt in her eyes. She felt bad at my words but still didn't stop me instead she looked at me and smiled. "You did the right thing." "You think I did the right thing, peace? I ask, with a raised brow. "Yes Stan, I think you did the right thing and that's best for everyone." My heart tightened and it felt like someone was squeezing the life out of me. I have never felt so much pain in my life like | feel at the moment, and as if to completely stab my heart dead, peace spoke again. "Don't come close to me anymore David,Let's stay the way we should have from the onset. Like an Employer and his E

"Peace, all l'm asking is for you to stay with me." "As what? Peace shouted forcefully removing my hands from her. "As your Mistress? as I have already been tagged.
