Claiming Daddy chapter 118 - emotional canvas
StellaI awoke before dawn, Lawrence's warmth still wrapped securely around me. But my mind already buzzed with creative ideas after our passionate night together. Careful not to disturb him, I slipped from bed to capture the sudden inspiration striking me about the plight of abandoned animals, recalling dear Fluffy's own origins.Settling cross-legged before my easel as rosy light crept across the skyline, I traced out the basic image taking shape in my mind's eye - a small defenceless kitten left utterly alone and afraid in a dingy back alley, emerald eyes enormous with sorrowful longing for the comfort and affection denied it by fate's cold indifference.My brushstrokes built up texture and depth gradually, backgrounds fading into gloomy abstraction while the central feline form remained detailed, fur matted and ribs visible from deprivation.Yet still its expression conveyed hopeful innocence, trusting some kindly soul might still chance by to save it from cruel isolation. The j
Claiming Daddy chapter 119 - stirrings of hope
Stella Butterflies swirled anxiously in my belly as I wandered the penthouse wrapped in Lawrence's crisp white shirt, hair still damp from the shower. Today was judgment day for the art contest. Had my entries captured the "glimpse of humanity" theme adequately to impress the exclusive panel of critics?I had channeled plenty raw emotion into the paintings - from delight in mother-daughter bonds to empathy for neglected strays like dear Fluffy. But technical mastery still eluded me. What if stark honesty alone proved insufficient next to classically honed pieces?Glancing at the bold canvas of the homeless kitten that felt most vulnerable, I gnawed my lip. Perhaps entering the contest had been foolish ambition. I was no professional after all, just dabbling amateur hastily mentored. Still, Andre and Lawrence both insisted my unique perspective deserved wider audience. With more guidance I might someday forge impactful stories from life's poignancy...Speak of the devil - warm arms
Claiming Daddy chapter 120 - won the contest
StellaBlinding spotlights illuminated the stage as the booming voice announced "Stella Emerson!" My heart hammered and palms grew slick, clutching the gleaming medal identifying me as the winner. This still felt surreal even crossing the expansive stage,sounds muted as though underwater except the mounting applause.I can't believe I won.I gripped the solid podium edge, anchoring unsteady knees while seeking Lawrence's beloved face in the blur of strange ones. His steady emerald gaze found mine first, crinkled by a proud smile meant for me alone. Joyful tears pricked suddenly at that tender show of support - we two had climbed so far together, the lonely girl from shadows now lauded in this societal showcase built by his formidable influence. But I remained simply his Stella undeserving of such accolades in my eyes. Only Lawrence saw a fragile beatific soul disguised beneath plain flawed features; the rest judged too quickly. My art came alive only because one man cherished the
Claiming Daddy chapter 121 - celebration
StellaI practically danced through the door of the penthouse, buoyed by the afternoon's incredible events. My little abstract piece had somehow struck a chord with viewers online, opening up intoxicating possibilities I had barely dared dream before.Lawrence swept me up into an exuberant embrace the moment I crossed the threshold, pride shining warmly from his gorgeous green eyes. "Ah, here's the artist taking the world by storm! I can hardly contain my excitement over your meteoric debut, little star."I flushed happily under his effusive delight, letting my bag slide to the polished floor. "I can scarcely believe so many responded to something so personal and unpolished. Andre was positively mischievous going behind my back like that!""On the contrary, he knew precisely what a scintillating talent you are and wanted to give your gifts to a wider audience." Lawrence pressed fervent kisses across my upturned face between remarks. "The adulation is just the first trickle of the tid
Claiming Daddy chapter 122 - Affectionate
LawrenceI gazed at Stella affectionately as we drove home from a lively dinner chatting about her latest artistic brainstorms. Even speaking rapidly with creative passion, lighting her eyes from within tugged my lips into a helpless smile. Her revived muse was a radiant phoenix rising triumphant from cold ashes - this contest merely an excuse to test long-dormant wings. I would cradle that fragile flame however I could. So when Stella called the next afternoon, babbling brightly about adopting a stray kitten, no objection crossed my mind. Her newly softened heart had ample love to enfold another small being craving shelter. Far be it from me to deny home to this orphaned feline if it brought her joy. "Of course we can keep the little darling," I assured, picturing Stella cuddling the scrawny tabby. A pleasing image for certain, my fierce mate transformed into a cooing nurturer. "Draw me some first portraits of our new addition later?"Stella's delighted thanks warmed me heading
Claiming Daddy chapter 123 - Bijou's jealousy
Stella I practically floated through the studio doors the next morning, still riding high from my contest win and the newly won respect of peers. Even the unflappable Andre greeted me as one elevated beyond mundane ranks now. Pride puffed my chest despite lingering awkwardness around such elevated praise.Most fellow students offered sincere congratulations on my fledgling success. Isabella embraced me with effusive delight that could not possibly be feigned. Even the boys gave gruff one-armed hugs amid back slaps praising feminine ingenuity. But all the while the subtle weight of resentment bored hotly between my shoulder blades from one icy quarter - Bijou and her glossy sycophants.I turned to greet them with diplomacy only to recoil from Bijou's venomous glare now stripped of its sugar facade. Vitriol etched harsh lines around her once inviting full mouth."Don't imagine one trinket makes you anything special," she hissed loud enough to carry in the small space. "Some of us pur

DISCARDED CHAPTER OUTLINES “What do you want again? I told you that you're not my type and that you're ugly as fuck. Whatever happened in the past has to remain in the past,” u frowned as I tasted the lime slice. “And what if I don't want that? What if I want something else? What if I want it to continue like I mentioned the other day?” He asked and I shook my head. “I told you, I don't want to have anything to do with you again, it's irritating enough that you're the only one I remember and I still doubt that you didn't use drugs on me because really, eww.” I expressed my irritation and tried to wheel myself away, but he held me back. “I’ll tell Tina about what you did with myself and her dad if you don't give in now, you don't have an excuse to refuse me anyways. I'm sure you miss little Carl,” I stared at him, no longer able to contain how irritated I was. His dick was probably the only good thing about him, but that had nothing to do with me anymore. “Just why are you

Stella "Have I told you today how incandescently proud I am?" Lawrence murmured, nuzzling into my windswept hair as the sleek town car wove through morning traffic. "The world will have to invent new words before long just to encapsulate your brilliance." I laughed, swatting his shoulder even as warmth blossomed through my chest. "Honestly Lawrence, how am I not insufferably arrogant by now between your lavish praises, contest wins and art world clamoring for my novelty paintings?" His sparkling eyes and roguish smirk sent pleasant tingles skittering down my spine. "No need for false modesty, love. The world deserves to witness resplendent gifts you choose to share. My lips will proclaim that truth anywhere ears can hear." His lingering kiss seared away any retort. I could never be stubborn whenever I'm with him because he always knows how to make me melt. Whether o eventually fall in his arms or on the bed I "Mmm...silver-tongued devil," I managed a bit breathlessly once we
