Fucking Daniel Debock casually walked in with nothing but briefs on, holding two mugs of coffee. At that point, Beatrice was confused as to what to do. Because she had no idea what she was even doing here or how she got here but thinking of her present situation and the fact that she was really sore in her lower area, Bea felt heavy tears build up in her eyes. “What did you do to me? How did I get here?” She voiced out, tears rolling down from her cheeks, still clutching the duvet against her chest since she knew she was wearing nothing underneath. Daniel frowned as he made his way over to the nightstand where he placed the mugs, the exact side he occupied for the night, then turned his attention to Beatrice who was staring at him with nothing but fear and disgust! “Are you fine?” He was forced to ask because of the way tears were rolling down her cheeks. She picked up the pillow beside her and threw it at Daniel with all her might. He saw that coming but he didn’t avoid it. He w
Bea had never felt more ashamed of herself than she was today. She knew she looked really horrible, plus her head ached like crazy and she was sore down there, making her limp while walking. It was pretty difficult to get a ride at that moment but she eventually did. And after what felt like forever, the driver pulled up in front of her apartment. She paid him, got down, and made her way towards the entrance of her apartment. With shaky hands, she opened her purse and started searching for her keys. Bea shut the door almost immediately after helping herself in. She took off her shoes, after which she darted into the bathroom where she took off her dress and got straight into the shower. Beatrice cried all through, scrubbing her body, trying to get rid of all the imaginary dirt Daniel put on her body. Her whole body started getting sore due to hard scrubbing so she rinsed herself after which she got out of the shower, dried herself, then went back to the room naked, in search of a
"Don't start, Henry!" Daniel groaned. "Even your parents couldn't command you to have a child but you don't mind doing it just to keep her." "Don't make me regret calling you at this moment." "No. I'm glad you did. I'm always here to listen to whatever you have to say. Just take it easy on that poor girl. She doesn't seem like a type that is used to big bullies like you." "I'm not a bully!" "You and I know that that's a big fat lie!" "The point is, just be gentle with her. Never met her before but from the video, she seems like one who wouldn't take shit from you. I guess she's still obeying you because she's in tight corners and you've got the upper hand because of your status. Just don't push too hard so you won't lose her." "Again, you see that it's not right to judge everyone! I'm hoping this is going to shape your perspective about the ill feelings you've got towards your sister's fiance." "My situation is totally different from Anita and that scum. I'm not judging them. I
"Christ, Babe, I've been so worried sick about you! I literally called you all through the night till this morning. You weren't answering your cell phone and at some point, your number wasn't going through anymore!" Bea slowly opened her eyes and sat up. "What's going on?" Rita's expression instantly turned to that of worry with the look on Beatrice's face. "Wait, have you been crying?" "Is...is that love bites on you?" Beatrice didn't care about the first statement but the second statement made her jump where she was seated. "What?!" She mumbled, touching her neck instantly, trying to trace the mark since Rita was staring intently at a particular spot on her neck. "Here, let me help you." Rita took Bea's hand and placed it exactly where the love bites were. "Beatrice's eyes widened, "Four places?" Her voice came out hoarse. "Yup. That's what is visible to me. But I feel there's more on you but I wouldn't know except you strip for me so I can do some inspection." She said wit
After being restless and angry for most of the day, Daniel finally slept for about four hours. Slowly opening his eyes, Daniel tucked his hands under the pillow and brought out his phone. He took a look and saw that it was almost 7 pm. He was about to toss his phone away when he changed his mind and decided to dial a certain number. "Good evening, Boss!" The deep masculine voice came through. "Update!" He commanded. "She had two visitors today, Sir!" "Who are they?" He asked instantly, his voice filled with nothing but jealousy. "A man and a woman." Daniel frowned, "They came together?" "No, the man came first. He came in earlier." "And you allowed him in?" Daniel had no idea when he raised his voice. "I'm only going by the instructions, Sir. I was told to keep an eye on Miss Beatrice as well as whoever comes to visit and not block them from entering." Daniel facepalmed, wondering where this possessiveness was coming from. "I can't really tell if they were both visitors be
"Yo, Look who's trending?" Chad cooed as he rose to his feet and initiated a hug with Daniel as soon as Dan walked into the VIP section but Daniel didn't return the hug. "You look so grumpy. What's going on?" Chad mumbled the moment he pulled away from the hug." "I'm fine," "No, you are not." "I'm not in the mood, Chad," Dan mumbled, going over to the empty seat beside Henry. Chad shrugged and went back to where his babes were. Beside them was Henry's Girlfriend, Celia, as well as Henry. "You okay, dude?" Daniel nodded, calling the attention of the bartender to bring over his usual. "I'm going to get into trouble with Grandma." A small smile appeared on Henry's lips. "I knew it was going to end this way." "This isn't funny, Henry. Wipe that smirk off your face." "Weren't you expecting this?" "I mean, you listen to no one except your Grandma so it's normal for your parents to go to her to talk some sense into you. This isn't the first time though so I'm not sure why you didn
Remembering he was still holding the bottle, Debock snapped out of his thoughts, and walked forward towards the bin, trashing the bottle. "Dude, are you okay?" Chad mumbled, staring suspiciously. He was about to tease Daniel for coming to have a quickie in the bathroom with the waitress but seeing him with a bottle, he wasn't sure what was going on. "Tell Henry that I left," Daniel said, then started making his way towards the door. Before Dan could go too far, Chad grabbed him by his arm. "You can't leave me here. We are best friends. If there's anything, you should talk to me." Daniel glared at Chad, and yanked his hands off his hold, after which he stormed out of the bathroom, leaving Chad standing there in total shock. Chad took slow steps, and went to the bin area, with a confused face, he took a glance at the bottle that Daniel dropped in there a while ago, after which he stormed out of the restroom. ........ With the way he saw the lady he bumped into earlier, Chad could
Waking up from her nap, Beatrice felt so much better. She was grateful for Ri's kindness to not only cook for her but also force her to eat something. Beatrice had no idea where her energy came from but she didn't feel terrible as she was earlier. After lying on the bed with random thoughts flowing through her head, she eventually picked herself up, went to the bathroom, and took a shower, after which she changed into her comfy shorts and top. Beatrice reached for her phone as well as a jotter and pen, and crashed on her sofa, ready to search for job vacancies online. Hardly had Beatrice got settled in what she was doing when a knock came through on her door. She frowned and didn't move an inch until the knock came through again. "I hope not. I really hope not." She mumbled as the thought of Daniel being the one at the door flashed through her mind as she rose to her feet and left for the door. With shaky hands, Beatrice opened up, preparing for the worst to happen but was even m
"Dan! What the hell? I've been on my feet trying to explain this to you. Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Henry slammed the piece of paper against the table and slumped into the visitor's chair that was opposite Daniel's desk. "Sorry, my thoughts are elsewhere." He mumbled, massaging his temple. "What's going on? This is so unlike you!" Henry asked, concerned. "Beatrice is mad at me and it's really messing with my head." "What did you do?" Daniel could swear that he could almost see Henry glaring at him."Why are you assuming I'm the one at fault?" "Well, we all know that Bea can do no wrong. It's gotta be you who has ruined things. Now open up to me. Tell me, what did you do to upset the Queen?" "I got home last night with a lipstick stain on my shirt." "Holy shit, Dan. Don't tell me you are cheating. I swear I'm going to kill you with my bare hands right now.""Of course not. I'm not the one at fault. After all that I've endured and suffered to build, you think I'
FIVE YEARS LATER“Mommy!!!!” Ryan Lee Debock shrugged out of his nanny’s arms and ran as fast as his legs could carry him when he saw his mom walk in through the door.Beatrice smiled as this was the best part of her daily routine that she looked up to: getting all loved up in her baby boy’s embrace.She placed her handbag on the floor, crouched down to her knees, and stretched out her arms, just in time for her son to run into her. Bea showered his face with kisses the moment she had Ryan in her arms.He giggled “I miss you, mommy.”“I missed you too, my love.” She placed a deep kiss on his forehead, wondering how it was so possible for her to love a tiny human this much.“How was school today? Did you take your food and vitamins?”The little boy nodded, smiling, that Bea couldn’t resist kissing his cheek again. Her Son was so adorable and needless to say, he looked so much like Daniel.“Good evening ma’am.” Aliyah, the nanny greeted. She was a young lady in her early twenties.“Hi d
EPILOGUEFOUR MONTHS LATER“Babe.” Bea heard that very familiar voice, followed by a soft kiss on her neck.“Hmmmm.” She whispered with her eyes closed.“I really don’t want to wake you but we have thirty minutes till our appointment.”“Already? But we literally just slept.” She said with a drowsy voice.“You want us to postpone?”“No. I really wanna know today.”“Me too. How about we take a joint bath?”She nodded against the pillow.Daniel chuckled, “I knew you wouldn’t be able to refuse that.”He helped Beatrice down from the bed after which they made their way to the bathroom. They ended up having a quickie and then rinsed their bodies.Beatrice was styling her hair when Daniel walked out of the closet. He came to a halt in front of her, holding a jewelry box.Bea sighed. “Babe, we agreed that we were done with gifts.”“No.” Daniel shook his head. “You should have figured out that I was lying.”“You promised no more gifts."Dan feigned innocence. “Well, I don’t remember that.”Bea
Debbie nodded shyly.“Okay, what else don’t I know?”“Debock has met you and he literally didn’t say anything to me?”“I’m sorry if you feel furious about this but Frank said a lot of nasty things that I can’t even begin to mention now. My heart wasn’t at peace. I had to make sure I knew Daniel’s intention.”“How did you meet him? He’s so busy.”“Rita said he usually comes over to her workplace.”“Good, You all are making plans behind me.”“That’s not it, my love. I promise you that we all had your interest at heart. I just had to make sure the billionaire dude wasn’t messing with my daughter. He came over and we discussed.”“He gave me his word about wanting you genuinely. And he also promised that he was going to take care of you. That was after he apologized about the cafe scene.”“Your siblings were here when he came over. They recognized him and he was kind enough to take them to the mall for a treat. They got clothes, shoes, new phones and laptops, as well as groceries for the h
THE NEXT DAY“Here comes the heartbeat.” The Doctor said and almost immediately, the room was filled with the most beautiful sound Beatrice and Daniel had ever heard.With their eyes glued to the monitor, the duo had tears in their eyes.As they got familiar with the baby’s heartbeat, the doctor went ahead to print out some ultrasound pictures for them.“Congratulations to you both for raising a healthy baby so far. Everything is fine and in a couple of weeks, we would be able to find out the gender; of course, that’s if you don’t want to wait till its birth.”Dan and Beatrice stared at each other, smiling.“I commend you both for the good work done so far. I believe if you continue to abide by the instructions given, the birth of your baby will be a smooth one.” She said, then turned her attention to Daniel. “Your woman needs you now more than ever. This is the best time to shower her with so much love and support.”“There’s nothing to worry about, Doc. You can count on me.” Dan sai
“You have experience working in cafes and restaurants. What if you own your own business.”Beatrice said nothing so he continued speaking.“It’s okay if you want to start really small with a cafe or wanna dive straight into the restaurant idea. I will support you with whatever you choose.”“I will fund the whole project. We will get you a good space, furnish it, employ the necessary staff and you just need to deal with managing the place.”“I can help you out with the business plan or if you don’t want me to be too involved, I can connect you with Amarie to help you out.”“You can also enroll in some online classes on management if you think you are not confident enough in running your own place but I’m sure you will do just fine.”“Should in case you don’t want a cafe or a restaurant, there’s always a boutique business, owning your own fashion brand and all.”“You need not worry about customers. I’ve got sisters with huge social media presence who I know would be happy to help and I
She glared at him, “Really? That’s what you could take out from everything that I said?”“I understand all that you said but that was what stood out for me the most. I know you’ve been through so much, Bea, but I promised you that it hasn’t been easier for me too. The times that you weren’t happy, I wasn’t happy too. I may have indirectly inflicted pain on you but I promise you that I felt pain too.”“I don’t know what you want in the man of your dreams but I promise you that I can be that man and I will live up to your expectations.”“I like you so much, Bea. So much that I know I would go insane if you are not mine and seeing you so sad or mad at me makes me feel terrible.”“Knowing you definitely birthed a new personality for me. I would do whatever it takes to make you happy.”“There you go again. Knowing what to say to me.”“I don’t want to lose you.”She sighed. “You make things so hard for me.”“So does that mean that I’m forgiven?”Beatrice said nothing, looking away from him.
Daniel seemed to have slept for a very short time but he didn’t mind because he woke up the happiest man in the world to a very wonderful woman by his side. He smiled seeing that she still had her head buried in his chest as she slept peacefully.Daniel removed some of the hair that fell across her cheek and placed a soft kiss on it after which he gently tore himself away from her and got out of bed. He proceeded to the bathroom to get ready for his meeting with Nora and one of their business partners.“Jeez, did you even sleep at all?” He smiled, sighting his Grandmother on the couch.“Thank goodness you are here. I was contemplating if I should come bang on the door but I wouldn’t want to ruin anything that was happening between you both.”Daniel laughed out loud. “Good morning, Grandma.”“Oh, Good Morning, and Happy Birthday to you my lovely Grandson.” She rose to her feet, pulling him into a warm hug. “May this new age bring you abundant happiness. I love you so much, Daniel, and
“I just want to cuddle you.”“I don’t want you to.” Bea was saying when he placed her head on his chest and she was surprised at the warmth she felt due to the closeness of their bodies. They were in a spooning position and for the first time she felt really protected.“You win because I’m tired and I don’t have the strength to argue with you.”“Anything that makes you sleep at night.” Daniel smiled, kissing the side of her forehead.Beatrice felt her eyes start getting itchy but she tried her best to push back the tears. It was evident that she and Daniel started on a very terrible path but if she was being sincere, no man had ever made her feel loved; not even Frank.“Are you an early riser?” He asked, caressing her hair.“It depends. Why do you ask?”“I need to be up early. Grandma and I have a meeting with someone. It’s business related but we will be done before noon."“Then we have the rest of the day to explore this city before we head back home.”“It’s fine. You don’t need to
