Liam Brandon held his phone to his ear, waiting impatiently for Mandy to pick up his call, as he uses the other hand to regulate the steering.
He had been endeavoring to reach his daughter from the moment he had left his office, but she wouldn't pick up. He didn't seem to be affected by it, he of all people knew his daughter very well.
Now that he was calling Mandy, he just wanted to be sure whether Daniella was with her or not because he'd gone to their house, but couldn't find her at home.
Soon, the phone got disconnected and without a moment's hesitation, he redialed Mandy's number.
Mandy stared at her ringing phone in Daniella's hand, she had caught her unaware and grabbed the phone from her, not allowing her to pick up the call.
“No matter what Uncle Liam might have done wrong, Ella, please put it aside for now and pick the call,” said Mandy persuasively to her friend.
Daniella looked over at Mandy's face, which was holding an apologetic expression.
Directly, she shook her head resolutely, decline the call, then stood up from the bed.
“Come on, Mandy, let's get ready,” she notified, pacing across the ceramic tile floor toward Mandy's closet.
Mandy sucked in a deep breath, without being told, she could effortlessly comprehend why her friend had suddenly become so cold toward her dad.
However, she couldn't help but think in her mind, who could the girl be this time around? The last time Mandy checked, almost everyone in the school knew that Daniella didn't appreciate any lady close to her dad.
Drawing a long breath, Mandy shook her head helplessly as she got off the bed. She wouldn't blame those ladies, would she? Any lady with clear eyes would definitely flirt with Liam Brandon.
He was just too hot and if she were not Daniella's best friend, even she would have begged earnestly Liam to fuck her without mercy.
“Come here now, babe,” Daniella called out.
Mandy quickly put on a big smile as she strode fast to where Daniella was standing. She thought in her mind that if by chance Daniella heard her nasty thought towards her hottie dad, then she wouldn't hesitate to slaughter her right here.

Mandy gazed at Daniella as she gulped down another shot of alcohol. She was fraught with worry, she knew something was bothering Daniella, and she knew for sure it was related to her dad.
Again, Daniella poured the liquor into a glass, but before she could carry it, Mandy reached out her hand and held hers, confining her movement.
“Enough of the drink, Ella” she scolded in a stern voice, glaring at her red face.
Daniella gave a few loud hiccups as she withdrew her gaze from Mandy's face, she had thought the liquor would help her block her thoughts about her dad, but it didn't, instead, the image of her dad and Grace being together in his office and doing all things kept lurching in her head. Her heart hurt a lot at her intuition.
Surrendering to Mandy's order, her gaze fell to the dance floor, and she immediately got to her feet, stumbling to the front.
She began to dance crazily, enjoying the beat that was blaring from the speaker. Soon after, she felt a gigantic palm grasp her tiny waist from the back.
“Hello, pretty” the voice murmured huskily into her ear, pulling her into his chest until her butt was resting against his torso.
Also, his breath passed through the hair around Daniella's ear, it seemed he was flirting with her.
Daniella rocked her butt against his shaft, following the beat of the pop. A trace of a grin was touching her lips, it occurred that she was enjoying it.
The person let out a muffled groan, shutting his eyes and raising his head to the ceiling as his hands were holding Daniella's slender waist, liking what she was doing to him.
Slowly, one of his hands cruised all the way down to her waist along her spine.
“Let's talk privately” He whispered again.
“I'm not interested” Daniella declined directly, too lazy to even peek at this strange man's face.
“Just a talk. Please” This time, Daniella stopped dancing and slowly turned around to meet the pair of handsome eyes that beamed towards her.
His eyes were tender, and his masculine jaw had the most perfect contours.
A deep frown etched on her forehead, she admitted that this unfamiliar was handsome, but he wasn't as handsome and hot as her dad.
Thinking of her dad again, she quickly agreed to his request and muttered.
“Okay”
'I just want to stop thinking about him, is it too much to ask?' she thought to herself inwardly.
In a matter of moments, they were found in a room. The room was large and a bit dull with its warm yellow light.Daniella watched as he bolted the door, and then she scoffed with rolled eyes before moving some steps toward the bed and sat on it.
“So, what is it that you want to talk about that evokes you to bolt the door?” she asked dryly, staring at the man who was now towering above her.
His lips twisted into an evil smile as he took off his clothes, “It's our privacy, don't you think?”
The corner of her eyes crinkled as she narrowed her eyes a bit, “Is this what you're up to?” her tone was full of aggression, rising to her feet.
This man didn't respond, instead, he took off his clothes completely and tossed them somewhere out of sight.
Daniella's eyes jutted out at the rate of how bulged his manhood was inside his brief.
Seeing her terrific look, he smiled, moving closer to her, “You see what you've caused with just a twerk”
Daniella hardly gulped, an indescribable trace of fear flashed through her heart. She almost instinctively wanted to get away from him, but just as she tried to react, he grabbed her hands and trapped them firmly with just using twenty percent of his strength.
“You bastard…” before she could finish speaking, he held her and kissed her lips, all her words were blocked deep in her throat.
She struggled to break free, but her strength was nothing compared to his.
Taking note of how else to break out, she kicked him very hard in his groin and ran off toward the door, just before reaching the door, she felt a strong hand pull her and carried her in his arms.
“Let me go now, please” she cried out, her heart heaving up and down apprehensively.
“Not so soon, pretty” he murmured, taking her lips for another kiss and lowering her to the bed.
With all the strength available in her, she pushed him away and screamed, “Daddy!!”
Glancing at his wristwatch from time to time, Liam rubbed his forehead, waiting impatiently for Daniella's arrival.From where he was standing, he gazed at the covered dishes on the dining table and then sighed loudly.
“Where are you, Ella?”
Right after he muttered these words to himself, his cellphone buzzes inside his trouser pocket.
Retrieving the phone, he was filled with a sense of relief to see that it was his daughter calling but after picking up the call and listening to Mandy's soft whimpers over the phone, he felt his heart leap into his throat as he was suddenly fraught with concern.
“Uncle Liam, I can't find Ella”
His face pulled extremely long in the cold and gloomy air while he felt as if his heart was breaking into a million pieces inside her chest, and It was never going to be a whole again.
Mandy continued, when he didn't hear him say anything, “She was dancing with a guy some moment ago and all of a sudden, all of a sudden…”
At this point, his face, and his temple were tightened into a line and the veins around his forehead and neck keep jumping out.
“Where are you?”
Jumping from foot to foot outside the building, Mandy awaits Liam's appearance impatiently, with her eyes swimming with tears.She couldn't help but blame herself for everything.
Honk! Honk!
The full headlight loomed at Mandy's figure. Briskly, she trotted toward the car at the same time Liam got off the car.
“I'm so sorry, Uncle Liam, it's all my fault” she apologized, more tears gushing from her eyes.
“Those can wait, Mandy. Now, let's go” he exhorted sharply, striding forward in a hurry with Mandy in tow.
Passing by a few people outside the front yard, to the door villa. Liam opened the door and was welcomed with all sorts of odors mixed together.
The place was already screwed up, some people could be seen smooching their selves in the presence of all, while some were dancing and chattering merrily.
Liam passed by them, aiming for the stairs.
Soon, he was standing in the middle of the hallway, looking from right to left.
“I'll go this way,” Mandy notified and scampered away at once.
Liam began to open the door one after the other, calling out his daughter's name.
He got to a door and reached out to open it, but it soon occurred to him that the door had been locked from the inside.
Thumping on the door heavily, “Ella, are you inside?" he strained his ear before he could heed the soft cries that were coming from inside.
He was immediately brimmed with uneasiness and without a moment's hesitation, he sent a rough kick to the door and the wooden door torn apart instantly.
Seeing a nude man lying beside her daughter, who was weeping profusely but jumped out of the bed and ran into her dad's chest as soon as he appeared.
Liam hugged Daniella as she continued to weep in his chest. He was now looking quite horrible, the look he was shooting at the man on the bed was one of a hunter sizing up their prey.
Some red blood shots gathered in the center of his pupils, glowing with blood, thirsty red. He silently withdrew his gaze to her daughter's face and kissed her hair for a long moment, he couldn't help but be filled with a sense of relief. He could by no means bring himself to imagine what would be of him if by chance he hadn't found Daniella. “Ella?” that was Mandy's voice from outside, she paced into the room, passing through the torn-down door. Daniella disengaged from her dad's embrace and quickly went into her friend's arms, weeping silently. She seemed particularly pitiful, like a porcelain doll that was about to break apart at any time. “It's okay now, your dad is here” Mandy reassured, stroking her back tenderly and glaring at the guy. “Go ahead and wait for me in the car, girls. I'll be back in a jiffy” Liam instructed with a small smile on his lips. Daniella heaved up her head from Mandy's chest at once, looking up at her dad's face, “Dad,” she called out softly, “I'll be bac
Both Daniella and Jessica sauntered out of the boutique, each of them holding two shopping bags in their hands.Daniella was highly relieved that they were finally done after a long time of shopping. Throughout their shopping, Daniella's face was cold all the time, and would only utter a brief sentence when her mother asked her a question. Just as they were reaching where Jessica's car was parking, Daniella heard her name from a far distance. She looked up and saw a familiar figure approaching them with fast strides.Matthew.She couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyeballs as she proceeded to the car; however, Jessica's words ceased her action.“Isn't he coming here because of you?” Jessica reprimanded with a slight scowl and then switched her gaze onward right when Matthew reached where they were standing.“How are you doing, Daniella? It's good to run into you here. Should we go back in and shop more? I have nothing important to purchase, just some little stuff,” Matthew beamed,
‘’I’m sorry ladies, but I would be very busy later in the day” Liam explained politely to the two beaming ladies that were walking at his both sides. With the look on their faces, one could effortlessly discern that they were both resisting the urge to cling tightly to his arms.“Then when would you be chance to tutor us, Mr. Liam? We don’t mind even if it’s just for an hour,” the one at his right-hand side asked seductively while twiddling a strand of her blonde hair at her fingertips. “Literally, sir. I promise you are gonna love our company,” the other girl enunciated.Liam halted his pace and looked over at her face. A small hole on her upper lips screams Marilyn Monroe's sexiness and her skin looks far more tanned than the next girl, like a sun-kissed brunette.He crooked a grin; he was not quite dumb not to have realized their advances. No doubt that he had become used to this kind of attitude. It would have been good for him if he was a sex freak.Smiling, he began to put for
For a moment, he didn’t think he’d heard right. His eyes kindled and his chest expanded in an outraged breath.It took a full minute to respond, possibly because he had trouble unlocking his jaw.“What did you just say?” he asked in a deep-voiced, his eyes dazed.“Yes, Dad. Both you and mum have always wished for me to have a boyfriend, isn’t it? And I’m happy to tell you that your wish has come true now,” Daniella affirmed, beaming so big. Her eyes were bright and beautiful; they looked like a crescent moon when smiling.“This is Matthew, my boyfriend,” she repeated, wrapping her tiny fingers around Matthew’s wrist.Liam felt like collapsing with shock, his heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and was so heart-wrenchingly painful.“So, Dad. I’ll catch you later” she then looked over at Matthew’s frozen expression. “Come on, babe. Let’s go to my room now,”Liam stood deep-rooted in that spot as he stared into the void, it felt like heavy rocks weighed on his chest, making it diff
Liam Brandon stormed into the fitness center where a few clients were doing some workouts. Seeing this tall and attractive figure who just appeared with an annoyed look, a lady who had been running on the treadmill machine immediately quit her fast pace and removed her face cap, feeling her heart throbbing at this rakishly handsome god.She was lost staring at his back view which had faded away since some moment ago as she slowly got off the machine. “Are you alright, Miss?”Hearing these words, she snatched her gaze from the space she was lost in and then raised her head to look at the person who had just spoken to her.“Who was that man?” she asked her instructor, who was much more taller than her.The corner of the young male instructor's lips couldn’t help but raise, “That was Liam Brandon, Miss. The gym director,” The lady returned her attention to the direction Liam had gone through, “Why is he so cute?” she asked dreamily, removing some tendrils of her hair that clung to he
“Damn it!”Mandy swore loudly under her breath as she gazed at the smashed number plate from her windshield and realizing that the vehicles were no longer moving, it dawned on her that she had been stuck in traffic.“You little brat, look what you’ve made me do!” she yelled onto the screen, her face distorting with anger. “You better begin to pray now that whatever the trick I play on this unknown person, it works. Otherwise, we’re both getting punished for this. Now hang up,”She enunciated through clenched teeth, and right after she completed her words, she caught sight of the young man who came down from the black SUV in front of her.The annoyed and dark expression on this man’s face couldn’t go unnoticed by Mandy and the more he got closer to her car, the more she shrank inside like a wilted flower.“Lord, I’m so dead,” she mumbled in a crying tone, watching as the man knock hardly on her window.Suddenly, an idea niggled at her and she quickly got into action.She ruffled her h
“There’s no way you can change my mind about this, Mandy. I’m not coming with you, period!” Daniella said decisively and then left where she was standing to sit on her bed. Mandy sough and turned properly to look at her friend, who had already grabbed a book and flipped through the pages.“It’s all in the past now, Ella. Please just forget it and let’s attend the frat party together,” she said cogently; her eyes were full of longing as she moved closer to meet her on the bed.Daniella lifted her head from her book and stared at Mandy faintly, “Are you asking me to hang around with someone who had flirted with my daddy before?” the corner of her eyes crinkled as she asked this question.“Lilly will never do that again, Ella. Moreover, you already taught her a lesson. Now I’m sure she will never think of being alone with Uncle Liam ever again,” “I might just murder her if I ever see her anywhere close to my dad again. So you better warn her,” Daniella threatened with an eye roll, bri
“Mandy?” Both Nathan and Joshua called out in unison.Michael stared at Mandy’s face and then at his friend’s dazed expressions, “How do you know her?” he asked them. Nathan opened his mouth to talk but right then, Mandy skipped back to the house, her eyes filling with sudden tears.Michael watched her retreating figure until it was out of sight. He then forced his attention back to his friend’s faces.“What’s going on? How do you both know her?” he asked sharply, putting forward two steps.Joshua sough, shoving his five fingers into his golden locks. He probably didn’t know how to explain the whole situation to Michael and that was because he had caught something interesting in his eyes when Mandy was there.“That was Mandy. My ex-girlfriend,” Nathan responded, almost sounding nonchalant.Michael's expression darkened immediately, “The same Mandy you told us shit about? The one her friend came to beat you up?” his voice was calm yet unsteady.Mandy’s hand crept to her mouth while s
