The richest couple throughout Europe were dressed so exquisitely that Mary failed to control her jaw from dropping in shock. It wasn't too surprising they knew Charlie Williams but…But their presence was so unexpected. “Elias!” Charlie arose from his seat and went to the refined couple. A friendly hug was shared between him and Beth, while a handshake to Elias. All were already on their feet to welcome them, and Doreen surprisingly was already walking towards the door. Elias noticed his drawing presence and so did his wife. Both were already smiling. They had yet to even lodge at a hotel or anything but came here straight once their private jet landed. Charlie did invite them, and they nearly declined it but remembered his youngest son, Doreen, was in a relationship with Tessa. Coming to this dinner would grant them the opportunity of reuniting with her, and also led to the introduction of their possible son-in-law. But…“I'd like to be excused, please.” His words were polite,
Sophia has been phoned, and she tearfully informed him of their absence.“Why did she leave? Damn!” He abruptly parked the car and then ruffled his hair with both hands.Even Francess' number wasn't going through, and reaching out to the D'Arcy was…Their daughter would unhesitatingly agree to help him, but what if she demanded his signature: his signature was all that was needed to finalize their contract of marriage.This was becoming hopeless and Doreen needed help. Fast.Seemingly heavens answered his prayers, a knock was placed gently on his rolled-up tainted window.He sighed out heavily then pressed a button that lowered it and a well-distinguished aged man came to view.His top hat added to his elegant tuxedo, and Doreen wasn't wanting any meaningless conversation.“Excuse me, kind sir. You are Doreen Williams, yes? I wondered if you'd be kind enough to help recognize this broken phone.” His gloved hands presented a phone broken into two, and it belonged to… Tessa.“That's my
She was at the café.The young owner of the café was visibly stunned as the brown-haired beauty came in but dressed so majestically in a gown.Surely, no one would glam themselves like that just to come to sip coffee at a measly café like his. Francess came here to wait for someone.“Enjoy your cup of latte.” He spoke as he placed it on the table and unknowingly shattered her walls of thoughts.“O-oh! Thank you.” Francess flashed a lopsided smile to the owner who also was the server.The café was void of anyone else but herself, and she enjoyed it.One would expect Francess to be at the Williams Manor. Even though the long-awaited dinner wasn't going so smoothly, it'd be sane of her to stick close by, right?Well, she felt the air around that gigantic building to be suffocating. Everything about this night made her unsettled.Her brown eyes continuously gawked at her beautifully made latte, and the heart-shaped foam floating in it brought another smile to her lips.Francess reached fo
Charlie knew better than to try to call him on his phone — his son surely had blocked his number. It was saddening yet was also reality. Since the atmosphere back in the dining room was downright awkward, Charlie suggested a stroll with the Fords around his glasshouse, where magnificent flowers were groomed. With their father, and his unexpected guests, away, the brothers were left to… rejoice. While their offspring and spouse were in the living room, Lloyd could be seen pouring himself another bottle of billionaire vodaz. The coats of their suits were no longer worn, and as Robert sipped from his glass cup partially filled with wine, a smirk played endlessly on his lips. “Y'know, you're fucking smart, Lloyd. A shameless pervert but a genius. I commend you."It wasn't supposed to be a compliment yet didn't wholly sound like an insult. Either way, the green-eyed playboy couldn't care less.“It wasn't shit though.” He sat on the glass-elongated table and then brought out a packet o
She recognized him to be Doreen Williams's assistant but shortly glanced at his bloodied face before going behind him. “Will…will you be able to hold them off, Lady Theresa?” As the red hair frantically undid the tight ass knot of the rope his hands were bound with, she questioned. Tessa responded by grabbing a piece of a wooden plank that fortunately was lying there. The door behind them was shut yet due to how old it was, it could be easily broken through. Again there was a giant among her kidnappers so yeah, in about a minute or so, he'll violently barricade through this door. “Don't worry about me. Leave through the window — they might have already blocked the exit” Tessa stood a few feet away from the door and clenched hard on the piece of plank. Was she nervous? Tessa was fucking apprehensive yet had to get the hell out of there. Doreen was waiting for her — the thought of leaving him alone scared the fuck out of her. Finally, she has someone who loves her, and her belli
Sincerely, he wished to spend every second of his lifetime by her side, so reluctantly driving back to the Manor without her was gruesomely painful. Yet, Doreen couldn't possibly assume Tessa would ride with him instead of her parents whom she hasn't seen for over four years, right?Yeah, it was illogical to think so. Every individual in sight helplessly gawked at the six opulent, lush cars as they rode graciously through the road. Apart from the President, no other household was expected to possess such jaw-dropping cars yet the Williams family was a massive expectation. The majority of those who were opportune to gawk at them unhesitatingly brought out their phones and quickly began a video. Something else, something disbelieving, caught the eyes of the highly attentive. The plate number of the Mercedes-Benz seemed like a presidential yet foreign one. It was a European one, and it took about an hour or so before every individual figured out that the car belonged to the Fords.
Surely, it'd be past midnight or so, and Tessa could be seen standing in front of Doreen's room.He did tell her about his unwholesome relationship with his family, but having his room at the highest level and alone in the hallway was insane.Tessa had to walk up several floors before she arrived there, and as she lifted her balled fist to knock on the shut door, it abruptly opened from within.“Fuck. You…scared me.” The blond beauty muttered as she forced a smile. Doreen originally was about to leave to search for her.She left with the notion of going to converse with her parents but since half an hour nearly elapsed, and she was still absent, Doreen, highly needy of her presence, wanted to search for her.Luckily, her gorgeous face was the first thing he beheld the instant he opened the door. But she seemed to… troubled.“Are you okay, Angel?”Doreen stretched forth his hand, which she quickly accepted. Once pulled into his massively spacious bedroom, her body collided with him in
He loved it there, and sleep sneakily crept into his system.“I won't leave your side. Ever. It feels… unbearably cold without you.” Their eyes met again, and each smiled delightfully.“You'll never leave me?”“I'll be your goddamn guardian angel."★★It was the next morning.A morning that Francess wished never came, since only those that were alive enjoyed it.But her?She felt…dead. It was the morning after a failed dinner with the most prestigious family in the country, and she saw herself as crap.It wasn't because of missing such an opportunity, yet they kept replaying in her head.Tessa and Doreen.As Francess lay on the queen-sized bed, her fingers entwined, hair strands dangling over her, and brown eyes gawking blankly at the aesthetic-designed ceiling, a lone tear slid down her cheek.She hadn't slept even for a second throughout the night, and occasionally a drop of tear would escape her eyes.Francess was in pain.“He loves her. Doreen loves her," She muttered, and again,
