It was a beautiful sunny day, The Williams manor seemed to be busy with different activities as servants carried drinks amongst the crowd of people.Many business partners of the Williams family from all over the world attended the Emperor's birthday, it was a grand celebration, the place was designed with luxurious interiors, with a big chandelier hanging up beautifully in the center of the ceiling.The emperor could be seen addressing the public by giving out speeches and appreciating everyone for attending the birthday celebration. He wore a beautiful golden-colored cheongsam suit and the elegantly dressed woman beside him waved herself slowly with a blue fan, Matching her blue dress.Vanessa could be seen in a corner with Elvis, he held unto her hand like they were some couple. She wore an off-shoulder pink gown with layers. It seems Elvis's fashion sense was still poor, it was obvious he selected the dress for her. She had been missing for two days before her birthday. Her hairst
"If you do this, it'll bring trouble between our family and the Jefferson family." Emperor Francis whispered back.The guests noticed the silent conversation between the father and son.They couldn't help but gossip amongst themselves. At that moment, Kimberly felt the ground should open and swallow her.She felt shameful as they looked at her and whisper to themselves."It seems you don't need to say anything, after all, even Henry couldn't bare to be engaged to a slût like you." Leonard mocked Matilda."Would you delete the video now?." Matilda only cared about the video, it was out of her father's ambition for her to marry into the Williams family, he was determined to make her the future empress, that way, his plans of taking over the Williams family treasury would be successful. There was a rumor about the Williams family owning a gold mine, which was being passed on to them hereditary."Nope, I still have use for you. I'll hold unto the video for a while, make sure to answer my
She thought for a while, someone did this purposely. "What was the reason?".It was too late for her to back out now, she just had to play along. She was the lead dancer.Kimberly knew how to dance, she had grown up in the clubhouse, she watched many Ladies in the clubhouse dance for years and she also learned.It was obvious the girls were hired from a club or brothel. She planned on doing a short dance so all these can end quickly.Henry didn't find Kimberly, His bodyguards sent messages to him, no suspicious person left the venue, and Kim wasn't found.He was restless, did he make a mistake by letting her go to the bathroom herself?There was no CCTV in the Williams Manor, And lots of guests attended the celebration. He sent a message to Andrew to prepare more bodyguards, he was going to find Kim.He heard the crowds cheering, He retired to the celebration hall. A group of dancers performed in the hall.Seeing his father watch the dancers joyfully, he knew he was very satisfied. He
His blood boiled as he was filled with anger and lust. Seeing her bare body made him want to take her right inside the car. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to hold back his emotions. watching her gaze fall on his face, she looked at him fearlessly. He admired her audaciousness, she was the only woman who never feared him regardless of his temper. She still managed to find her voice and spoke back to him.In the Williams mansion, Emperor Francis fumed with anger, he suspected Henry was responsible for everything that happened at the birthday celebration. "He does as he pleased without any regard for me, his father." His voice could be heard from his Chamber."I beg to see his majesty." Leonard's voice could be heard from outside the chamber."His majesty ordered to be left alone, he doesn't want to see anyone." The bodyguard bowed politely as he spoke to Leonard. They all knew how ruthless Leonard was, if he insisted on seeing his majesty forcefully, no one could stop him. "Let
Leonard walked close to her slowly, making her shift backward till she finally leaned on the wall. He cupped her face in his big palm, His other hand held her delicate waist."Wha..what do you want Leonard?" She stuttered."what do I want?, you know what I want, Margret." He said briefly.Margret didn't reply, she only stared at him. They both stared at each other silently. Leonard only moved his hands by pressing her waist slightly. She watched him whisper in her ear slowly as his hot breath touched her neck."Why did you do it?" He asked in a cold tone. yet his face remained calm. Just as she expected, Leonard already knew she was behind the chandelier, he came to confront her for it. At this moment she dare not lie to him. she knew he wouldn't give her out, rather he would find a way to conceal it.At that moment, Margret got rid of her pretense and smiled."You already knew I did it, why didn't you tell on me? Oh! Are you afraid of my father?" She spoke proudly, knowing she could
Margret wakes up as the bright ray of the sun heats on her face through an opening in the white silk curtains. She blocked it, with her hand and sits upright, using the duvet to cover her chest which was slightly exposed.Leonard had left already. She walked barefoot, picking up her clothes from the floor and putting them in the dustbin as it was all torn and unable to be worn again.She wrapped a towel around her body and walked towards the bathroom.A black SUV stopped in front of a big restaurant. Kim reads the name of the big colorful banner which displayed a chef setting a table, containing numerous foreign dishes hanging on the first floor of the restaurant's building. "El Classique?" She made an unusual facial expression. Although the place was renovated, she recalled it was the same restaurant she came to with her brother months ago. She remembered the humiliation she faced at the restaurant. She wondered why Henry brought her here. "To get humiliated again maybe." She thought
It was an afternoon in country A, and Kim called David on a video call to inform him about her new business. She had sent some pictures of the restaurant to David. She noticed David's constant yawn and teary eyes."David, have you been sleeping?" She asks worriedly. She wondered why he slept at this time."Sis, it's night here in this country," David said sluggishly.Kim shook her head in disbelief and asked him to show it to her.David opens the window and showed her. his room was bright with many lights, which Kim didn't notice earlier. David was scared of darkness.During his childhood days, he was buried in a hole under dried leaves with Kim while escaping from the people who murdered their parents. He couldn't cry with a sucker in his mouth. Since then he had been scared of darkness."sorry for disturbing your sleep, I'll call you tomorrow." Kim didn't wait for David to speak as he was going to persuade her to continue the discussion.Kim was happy with the fact that her brother
In the taxi, Angelica dials a number severally it wasn't answered. She assumed Margret was busy and then sent a text. The job is done, I told her what you asked me to. Shortly, her text was replied to."Send your account details, I'll wire your balance to you." She read inwardly. It Angelica had a satisfied smile on her face. A few weeks back, Margret had gone to meet Angelica at the club, for details about Kim. Margret is determined to separate Henry and Kim, Angelica was the perfect tool for her. She was positive Kim would listen to anything Angelica tells her.Kim arrived at the mansion and went to her room. She didn't expect Henry to be there, he sits on the bed comfortably. Kim couldn't help but wondered how this good-looking vibrant man could be gay. It was awkward and she became uncomfortable with him in the room."What are you doing in my room?" She asks proudly, she was determined to have him stay away from her. She didn't get close to him, she stood by the door. Of course,

Kimberly stared at the gigantic portraits of Henry and David which she didn't get tired of staring at. she moved closer to them and touched one of Henrys'"Henry, I miss you so much," she confessed, hoping to get a reply. She roamed her fingers on the portrait, touching his face and lips.She managed to get a picture of a full full-face file of Henry's from the internet. During her time with him, she was able to take several unaware shots of him and his side profiles. Henry didn't like pictures, even when the press managed to get pictures of him, he had them destroyed.Kimberly smiled as she was reminded of that.She put her forehead on that of Henry's picture and closed her eyes. Kimberly couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes.suddenly, the door was barged open by a little boy. "Mummy." he rushed in quickly and hugged her. Kimberly shif
Kimberly spent three more days in prison, there was no disturbance from Francis or torture from the policemen. Anthonia, her new cellmate made sure to protect her from her previous cellmates. Kimberly thought of ways to contact Grandma Lee's lawyer. He was the only person she hoped for. If Grandma could trust him with her documents, he must be able to get her out of prison. In the evening when the prisoners were in line for breakfast, Kimberly didn't go to get her food. She felt sick from what she ate for lunch. Anthonia stayed back with her."Ahhh." She cried painfully."What's wrong with you? Are you okay?.""No I'm not okay, my stomach hurts." Kimberly cried."Here, drink water." Anthonia offered."No, that's not it. My stomach hurts so much."Kimberly felt a warm wet liquid run through her thighs and she touched it. She was bleeding."My baby. I'm losing my baby." She cried out. Anthonia freaked out and she began to bang hard on the grate gate."Someone, we need help in here." Sh
Kimberly hoped that she wouldn't regret her actions. She spent two days in solitary confinement and wasn't given food to eat or water to drink. Kimberly had almost died from hunger. On the third day, she was taken back to her normal cell and was given food. That evening, Francis came to visit and request the papers again. Kimberly still stood her ground and refused to give it to him.Francis showed her some pictures on hon tablet. "I'm sure you wouldn't want your brother dead?." He asked her. Kimberly was shocked to see her brother in such a situation, he was all tied up and a gun was pointed at his head. In the video, David struggles to speak as his mouth was gagged.She couldn't hear a thing he said."Please don't hard my brother. I'll do anything you ask of me." She pleaded."Where are the goddamn papers?""I swear, I know nothing about them. I don't have any papers with me." She confessed.Kimberly was taken back to her cell, mistreated,d and beaten by the guards. Kimberly held
After everything was over, Leonard appeared in Henry's grave later that day.He was dressed in black as per funeral rights and he stood near the grave. Didn't attend the burial earlier that day, so he decided to pay his respect at that time. He was a bit drunk when he got there.He leaned down on the grave, staring at the tombstone of his half-brother seemed unbelievable to him. Even though he wanted Henry dead, he wanted Henry to die in his hands. Leonard felt that he lost to Henry, seeing him die in a plane crash."You're a coward, Henry. You're always fond of running away and not facing me. " He said,"We should've fought a lot more times. I owe you so much. Remember?" He lamented."I still have to pay you back for getting me locked up by my father. I deserve it. I have to shoot you with the bullets from my new gun." He explained.That same evening, Kimberly arrived at the graveyard to pay her last respects to Henry. As she saw the man on the grave, she quickly recognized him as Leo
Kimberly woke up after a few hours. According to Grandma Lee who was sitting beside her bed, she had passed out earlier and was brought to the hospital by granny with the help of some servants. Kimberly tried to stand up from bed."Henry, I need to find Henry. Grandma." She cried. "I cannot live without him." "Kimberly, get a hold of yourself. You should live well, if not for anyone but for your baby." "Grandma, it's hard for me to move on. Henry promised never to leave me. I told him I wouldn't leave." Kimberly couldn't control her tears as she spoke.Later that day, she was discharged from the hospital. Granny found out that Kimberly had no pregnancy complications as Henry had thought. The doctor in Germany lied to him. Granny didn't tell Kimberly anything and decided to investigate the issue. She found out that someone had the doctor manipulate the results to send Henry away. Henry's death had been plotted before now.Granny swore to get to the route of everything and find out w
When Kimberly opened her eyes she realized that she wasn't tied or blindfolded as she expected since they were kidnapped earlier. She looked around and saw that she was in a familiar place which she instantly recognized as the Williams mansion.She felt a throbbing headache hit her as she tried to stand up, they used so much drugs for her that she woke up late at night. "Henry?" She called out, staring at the masculine figure standing near the window. Henry wore only pants and was shirtless. Kimberly twitched her face irritably at the choking smell in the air. It was the smell of Henry's tobacco, clouding the air in the room.He put out the smoke, realizing that Kimberly didn't like it and he went to her.Kimberly was still confused by everything that happened. She realized where they were but wasn't aware of what happened after they were kidnapped which was the last scene she remembered before passing out.Henry sat behind her on the bed and patted her hair backward slowly. "How did
Kimberly stared at him for a moment, admiring his sincerity as he swore not to lose her. She grinned teasingly for putting him in a frenzied state."You sound so serious like any one of us is going to leave," Kim said and she wrapped her hands around his waist tightly. "I love you, Henry." She muttered, burying her face in his chest. "I love you too," Henry replied."Now, we should be heading inside. I think we've had enough of the wind for the night." Henry said and he carried her in bridal style inside their house. Kimberly giggled all the way Inside. "It tickles." She spoke in an almost faded voice.At the airport, Kimberly bid goodbye to David. It was a bit emotional for both siblings to separate from each other again. Knowing fully well that it may take long before they see each other again. After boarding the plane, Kimberly didn't hold back her tears and they streaked down uncontrollably on her face.Henry pulled her for a hug. "We would see him soon, Kim. And you both won't hav
Kimberly was discharged after three days and was placed under bed rest. Henry knew that they couldn't make a journey back to their country yet till she recovers so he brought a house in Germany for them to stay comfortably. He wouldn't want her using an elevator or feeling bothered to climb stairs so he bought a well-furnished bungalow."I feel like our life is peaceful living this way, Henry. Without anyone bothering us." Kim spoke. She snuggled herself into his arms on the bed and he held her tightly."Kim." He called out. "Yes?" She answered instantly, sniffing in his cologne that she couldn't get enough of. Kimberly had always loved the scent of Henry, and it seemed that it increased ever since she realized her pregnancy. She couldn't tell if it was her normal self or the change of hormones that made her love his scent more. But one thing she could tell was that Henry scents so well."I love you." He whispered. "I love you so much." He repeated and kissed her forehead."And our bab
