Shirley have a terrible night, she keeps having so many nightmares about Dante and Barbara, and all her dreams are filled with her absurd thought about the things, the two of them might be doing, behind closed doors."Fuck!" She cursed and sighed badly. Clyde looks at his daughter who is looking terrible."Hey daughters, what is the issue?" Clyde asked her, she moved her gaze to him."I am fine, just a bit stressed." She grabbed her cutleries and started eating, her nanny looked at her, she had been the one caring for her since she lost her mother."If you say so." Clyde goes mute and then looks at her nanny, signaling her to talk to this naughty daughter of his, the man drops his cutleries, when nanny May shakes her head. "Baby!" He called again."Father, what is it?" Shirley has always been so Pampered by Mr. Clyde that she feels everything and everyone, should worship her and that she should always get what she wants."Hey relax, I have given a thought to your proposal to join the c
The meeting is held at the ancestral mansion of the Harold's, it's a very big place. It's probably more than twenty acres of land, with trees and a spacious garden.It looked different from the one, she had visited when she was much younger, so many renovations had taken place, The meeting is held at the ancestral mansion of the Harold's, it's a very big place. It's probably more than twenty acres of land, with trees and a spacious garden. It looked different from the one, she had visited when she was much younger, so many renovations had taken place, making it more modernized. "Whoa! The Harolds had done a great job with improving the old facility with new ones, but it still looks creeping. "Shirley!" "Come on Dad, I am sure Uncle Harold must be lonely here since Aunt Jie Li left and Dante doesn't live here anymore. Can't you imagine how lonely it will be without a family?" "I too lived a lonely life when you left." "Come on Dad, I know my nanny May, took good care of you, righ
"Yeah! Barbara Calvin is the new COO of the company, after the company merged with Don's group, we needed a new COO Mr. Jackson was no longer fit, so we cast a vow, and she was elected.""Hm! So she was the girl you bid for last night? Are you two in some kind of...""Shirley!!!"Mr. Clyde called her, she pressed her lips together and then moved her gaze back to Dante, acting like she didn't care, yet she was going to burn Barbara to ashes, she was going to consume her that she would regret ever meeting Dante, the young man is hers, till the end of time, nothing could separate them not even some silly rented boyfriend contract could do that."That being settled, I also have another proposition, since my health is not getting better, I also want my daughter to be in safe hands when I am gone, so I would like, our family to move from more than just friends to in-laws." Clyde indirectly said Dante coughed again, Sally had lost the number of times, Dante had coughed during their discussio
Dante turned around seeing that, the three of them were behind him, he grabbed Shirley's hand."We need to talk." He dragged her along the hallway, Sally was surprised, he had been acting all calm since, but deep inside he was boiling."Big bro!""Come on, let them be, I am sure, he wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.""What if he hunts her?""He is not going to hurt her." Dante pushed Shirley into the study, then locked the door behind him."Dante, why are you mad?""What do you think you are doing? Showing up after a very long time and blackmailing your dad to betroth me to you. Do I look like some pieces of thing to you? That could be discarded and picked up at any time. Do I look stupid? Probably you think I am that stupid eighteen-year-old boy who is lusting after you. Shirley smiled. What's funny?""You can't get over me, and I know that you refuse every other woman because of me.""I..." He parted his lips, yet he couldn't say the words."You see, you can't even say th
"Hey dear, come over here." Jayden called out to her, Kathleen looked at her, she could remember the lady's face, and she sighed inwardly."You all are having a nice time, the mansion is more beautiful, still familiar just like yesterday," Shirley comments as she takes the seat available."Of course, you should know Dad, he likes to move with the trend." Jayden comments."Yeah! I could remember when the garden was still a mess, and that pond that was abandoned for years was still close to it.""How could you forget that creepy night, when we sneak out to watch a movie...""The zombies!!!" Shirley added."Yeah! We were really scared and Dante was the only one not scared, he had tormented us by wearing those scary costumes, causing us to sleep under Nanny May's bed." The two laughed heartily."How old was Dante then?" Sally asked."He was fifteen, yet he wasn't scared," Jayden added. "He was our big brother who could protect us even as a child, whenever we get involved in any mischief, h
At Dante's buildingThe next morning, Dante was more alive, anticipating how he was going to meet Barbara and trouble her till she had no choice but to accept him back into her life, he smiled at his silly thoughts. Shirley had moved in the previous night, so it was obvious that she would have to join Dante and Sally In his car, since Dante is the one who takes Sally to the company most time, on rare occasions her driver drops her off."Hey man, what's up with your grinning?" Jayden the troublemaker calls him out of his wild imagination, there at the dining he is thinking about Barbara again."Hey stop that, I am not grinning.""Come on big bro, you are grinning probably excited with something of the heart.""Of course, he is, his princess is back." Everyone moves their gaze back to Shirley who is making her way into the dining, she is beautifully dressed, and her hairstyle, make-up, shoes, and accessories are glamorous, she is like an angel, and she is really beautiful."She is beauti
At the vice chairman's office, Sally is busy giving details about her work and the pending files that Dante couldn't attend to since he is running her father's office and also his."If there are any questions, you are free to ask me or Isla since she is working closely with Big Bro.""What about getting it directly from Dante like I just did with the former?""I only let you ask him that instead of me first because that file is one of the files he is personally handling, he is a very busy man, and he had so many things to fix, like fixing the company and his personal life, I am sure, he is thinking of settling down now, the man is almost thirty, he needs his life and a family of his own""Talking about fixing a family of his own, do you all know anything about Barbara?""Uh? I don't know but I am sure Bro will. I heard she is the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin, so there is nothing wrong with it, if you need any more information, I am sure Big Bro is in a better position to ans
"Momma! Please open up." Barbara could hear the little girl begging the woman on the other side, yet the woman kept laughing."What do you want? Drugs, I could give you drugs, it will make you not be Afraid of them, you shouldn't be a coward like your worthless father, he can't even fight for what he wants.""I hate you, momma.""I know, you love your grandma and that is the reason you should remain in there, it's a good thing she is not coming back, she is dead already.""What is dead?""This idiot, fine, she is not dead, now enjoy your play, I go on now, see you later.'"Momma!"The little girl called and screamed in anguish, Barbara could see herself as the little girl, she wanted to run away, escape from those cockroaches just as she too wanted to run away from the one moving on her skin now, she was terrified, scared to move, broken emotions, all those awful memories of that little girl's seems to be like she was the one experiencing it, she opened her eyes slightly then she could
