Chapter 125 - ulterior motives

Penulis: Oluwayemisi
last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2023-12-04 00:14:39

I paced my office, fury simmering through my veins. The audacity of that petty socialite spewing venom at my Stella out of baseless jealousy and entitlement. This could not stand.

I summoned my head of security, Cyrus. His stoic features were set in a somber expression.

"It's time we investigate further into this Bijou character's ongoing attacks," I said. "Her irrational obsession hints at ulterior motives."

Cyrus nodded. "My team can dig quietly. Wealthy patron circles trade in gossip and rumor."

I waved dismissal, trusting him to uncover truths lurking underneath. I sank into my chair, contemplating how to shield my sensitive partner from further toxicity poisoning her creative spirit. She deserved safe space to nurture her unique gifts without such soul-crushing sabotage.

Around midnight Cyrus reappeared, his normally implacable facad

  • Claiming Daddy    Chapter 126 - truth and reconciliation

    LawrenceThe annual gallery fundraiser glittered under enormous crystal chandeliers, elegant music and conversation filling the soaring marble hall. "It's an honour to have you here, Lawrence. " One of my elderly partners commented."I'm pleased." I smiled at him.I moved through the well-heeled crowd with singular purpose, guards trailing discreetly against the perimeter. There on the raised dias surrounded by her family's most ostentatious donations and industry elite, preened the petty thief who had stolen so very much. My polished oxfords clicked sharply on imported Italian tile as I ascended the steps neutralising the advantage of height. As one, patrons shuffled sideways allowing a wide berth for unpredictable alpha confrontation. I ignored the blatant eavesdropping in favour of locking eyes with startled prey who had expected easy camouflage among her pampered set tonight."Bijou, a word." I infused iron command into genteel phrasing brooking no defiance before such scrutin

    StellaAfter the night of the gala, we had a great night tonight.And the next day Lawrence got the bad news that they were late and Stella set her plans in action."I'll find love," I added for the tenth time."Call me whenever possible." He added.I kissed him on the cheek turning to enter the big Andre's gallery we use as the class."Come here." He pulled me into his arms before I could react."I want more," he nagged. Making me smile and link my lips with his.He deepens the kiss, his hands roaming all over me. "Babe, I'll be late." I smack his hands pulling away."Arrgh" he let out a sexy groan."Well, I promise tonight." And I quickly pecked his cheeks before I went. And he waved at me.I smiled and waved back. "What would I do without your love?" I muttered aside. As I entered the gallery.

  • Claiming Daddy    Chapter 128 - rising light

    Stella The slander spread vicious as wildfire through my thriving creative community, leaving trust charred beyond saving.Friends even averted gazes witnessing my public shaming, whether coerced or doubting sincerity themselves cut deeper than daggers to the heart. Whispers condemned my muse as lies artfully spun to capture attention like a spider trapping flies.The only counterweight clinging against gusting hostility came wrapped in my lover’s steadfast devotion shining bold as a beacon piercing fogbound isolation...I stepped numbly over the penthouse threshold into Lawrence’s ready embrace, his cologne teasing my senses with soothing familiarity. Strong arms banded supportively about my slumped frame while chaotic thoughts besieged any coherent language left. But soulmates need no voiced confirmation of trials endured. Shared breath and trembling skin transmitting pain through unbroken connection proved solace enough surviving the worst storms.At long length I stirred from

  • Claiming Daddy    Chapter 129 - absorbed

    StellaOver weeks the abused canvas absorbed simmering shards of pained experience gradually transformed to match renewed hope.Tentative brush strokes from Lawrence’s delicate wrist directed bolder riotous colour until a discernible image surfaced from the turmoil once paralysing hand and eye."I'm finally getting it now."And miraculously the act of creation healed trauma’s lingering bruises somehow. Voice returned to muted wounds so they might strengthen dancing freely under merciful light.The piece we shaped from formless agony portrayed a pale face and straining veins at the crux of choosing bitter untruths for momentary relief, or shouldering short-term darkness to prevent prolonged community corrosion ahead.The lurid almost grotesque contortions depicted the cost of easy betrayal while divine wings hovered

I'll make sure she never leaves her home again." I remember Lawrence's promise to meSurely words travel swiftly in cloistered circlesWithin days exposure of Bijou's treachery had circulated through the entire community--no whisper of breath about business or pleasure failed including extra condemnations toward her disgraced name nowSuch scandals delectated their jaded palates, providing lurid distraction from mundane realities at timesI overheard lewd gossip mongers in shops and galleries speculating what severe repercussions her influential family might suffer socially or financially from the shameful connectionSurely no gracious doors could remain open to that venomous ilk anytime soon

  • Claiming Daddy    Chapter 131 - more guards?

    Stella "More guards, Lawrence? I already trip over Cyrus's men constantly," I sighed, watching two more suited figures take positions around the lobby fountain. Their eyes tracked me like wolves sighting easy prey. Lawrence's thumb traced my knuckles distractedly as we crossed the marble floors. "Unfortunate necessity, little moon. Hostile forces regroup faster than expected." I wrinkled my nose, memories of recent public scandals and Family reprisals simmering bitterly. "With Bijou's schemes exposed and the gallery liquidated, surely that nest of vipers poses minimal threat now?" Lawrence hesitated, eyes clouding. "There may be deeper resentments brewing in shadows that require heightened vigilance." He guided me toward the elevators with one proprietal hand lightly pressed against my lower back. I bristled under his hovering closeness. "Resentments from whom? The community laid blame squarely on her toxicity once truth surfaced." I prodded for clearer answers, suspicions risi

    Lawrence"He's still family, Lawrence!" Stella protested, emerald eyes flashing. "Prison changes people - James deserves second chances like anyone."I regarded her evenly across the desk where damning photos and contacts lay exposed. Her naive faith grated when ruthless threats encircled us sleeping."My foolish brother twisted opportunities toward selfish vices long before cage trapped him." I tapped the surveillance images grimly. "Now corrupt influences poison chances for redemption."I added." I warning you James is dangerous at times."Stella set her delicate jaw stub

    Stella"More bodyguards attending my morning jog now?" I frowned at the suited figures flanking the lobby doors. Their assessing gazes tracked me like wolves sighting prey. Lawrence's thumb traced my knuckles placatingly as we crossed the marble floors. "Merely a precaution, little moon. Threats appear from shadows lately."I wrinkled my nose, anxiety spiking. "Threats from whom? Your brother's not as you think and that fraud Bijou neutralized." I searched Lawrence's face for fuller explanation but his expression remained inscrutably reserved. "There are always parasitic opportunists envying your gifts and alliances with me now." His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. "I eliminate risks decisively."I bristled uneasily. Exactly how far did Lawrence's protective claim extend behind the scenes? Relentless security lately verged upon imposing confinement no matter his reassurances. Outside, two more guards fell in step trailing my usual route to the leafy park nearby. Their looming n

    STELLAS POV. I knew what it was I had in mine to do and I certainly was not giving two ducks or more about it, the girls, they had not seen me approach while they buckets on with their zaddies, fake smiles plastered on their faces. I stopped to a halt right in front of them a a I dreaded for them, of course I was not encouraging bad things but if they decided settling down with older men was what did it for them anthem fine, I had zero concerns about I, but worse, it got even worse is I found it a whole lot was happening. They were with the men for money and nothing else, they also went about prancing and calling out certain little, pesky ass rubbish talks all because they felt they could thanks to Some little change of dumb ass cash they got from men who had nothing to do with it. “Please tell me, why is it that you are here, anything I can help you with young lady?.” he asked, he had white beard was for and I guessed around forty seven to fifty years of age, it was just a random

    STELLAS POV. “stop already.” I whispered and kicked sand against his body while he kept tickling me. It's been a month already and a few weeks plus and I've suddenly become the owner of most buildings in turkey. I never expected I was getting so spoiled by a man like him, one time I complained and he said I brought it upon myself since I complained of having stacked up clothes and accessories in my room, he decided to get buildings stacked up on lands. “you are not fun anymore.” he teased and kicked back sand at me, it was simply us getting fun on the beach, I noticed the changes, I saw the improvement, my Health had gotten back on track, I trained hard and fast, the first few days I loathed the whole issue and thing that came down with the medications however after some days I got quite used to them, As fun as it sounded that day I took seven tablets and ranged upwards at intervals, it was not an easy routine for me yet things fell right into place thankfully. “I have never rec

    STELLA.I paced about in the room, my hands carefully tucked beneath my back and folded over each other, I sucked in air and fought hard against the tears, scared that they might slid of my face and cause a rift between Lawrence and I, he was already pretty worked up and I wasn't intending to add to it.“Stella?!.” he called out at once while walking out of the bathroom, water dripped down from his hair over to his feet and I swallowed hard with my gaze pinned against him, that was the most I could do, I could not have it held in anymore.“I told you, I complained, I kept at it!, I fucking knew something was wrong and what the hell did you say?, you said nothing was wrong and no tell me what if it became worse?. You heard what the doctor said?.” I asked, still holding a high grudge against him.He was not pleased by my words.“stella, it isn't your fault anything happened and it obviously isn't mine either, I understand how fucking worked up you are, I know it's a lot to take in at th

    LAWRENCE.“Just relax, okay, don't get all worked up for no reason, Stella, you are fine, I've had the doctor run some tests, everything Showed up well so would you please stop whatever bickering you have all planned out already?.” I knew I was quick to speak, at least at the moment but still passing out twice on me at the moment only registered me as an irresponsible person..I could not let that happen, I needed to start paying more attention to her state of health, we are married for fucks sake and I was just not getting why she kept keeping things from me.“really?, I'm fine? Nothing else?.” she asked, batted her eye at me in a questioning manner, I really had stopped understanding her after the whole issue of a miscarriage, I understood it was hard for her to have lost a baby but it fucked up her mental health a whole lot.“Yes, that is what the doctor's report says and I believe we both understand what it means, I do not run the test they did.” I answered, I saw the manner in wh

    STELLAS POV.Air closed in on me as my vision became blurry, I could barely stand on my feet anymore, I rested against the table, had my hands placed over it, I was a mess, a complete mess.The noises increased and the chatter continued, it was like a never ending sort of bicker amongst rich folks, when Lawrence spoke of a party he eased it up, I never knew it was going to be something so huge.It looked and felt more like a red carpet sort of event for a met gala and event for celebrities. He shifted himself away from me and into the crowd a few minutes ago. I had tried searching for him but I could not bear it anymore.He excused himself with the little line that he knew what it was that he wanted, a whole lot other had little or nothing to do with me to be precise, it was business talks and he offered to have be taken along but it was certainly going to bore me to death and I decided the stay back , behind however thinking about the decision I made it had not seemed to be the smart
