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,
Where she went to, and when she returned, no one sincerely knew, but once the sun took its rightful position in the sky, and breakfast time clocked Pearl's ass was at the dining table.She went to heaven's nowhere yesterday and at that moment regretted leaving. Pearl was freaking confused about Tessa's closeness with the Fords.The glassy elongated dining table was presently occupied by everyone.Charlie Williams, being the owner of the Manor, settled on the chair with none beside it. While Mr. and Mrs. Fords sat closely, Tessa's seat was questioningly close to Mrs. Beth.Surely, Doreen sat beside his angel, and a bit expectantly, he was conversing warmly with Mr. Ford.Elias seemed to enjoy their discussion profusely, as he kept smiling. The four, in a way, were in another world from the rest.Pearl easily sensed the tension emanating from her elder brothers, her nephew, and also his supposed girlfriend.The maids rolled out of the kitchen in dozens, and as the meals were served, she
Even the maids lingering around effortlessly sensed the deadliness of his rage, and as sane as any could be, they cleared from his path.The instant the tires of his car halted, Lloyd alighted from it angrily. While he barged madly in, Maria was helped out of the car by the chauffeur.“Leave.” Coldly, she ordered the chauffeur who tried to wheel her in. The aged man nearly cried out in deep appreciation: Lloyd could randomly vent on anyone and it sure as hell wouldn't end well.Slowly, Maria began wheeling herself into the penthouse and from the living room, her ears heard sounds of glass shattering.Those brown eyes of hers darted at the staircase that led to his bedroom, but it was brief.“I need a drink.” She mumbled almost inaudibly, yet a maid nearby heard her. Sharply, her order was fulfilled and this time, she ordered one to take her to the swimming pool.Thankfully, the path didn't lead through a staircase, and within some minutes, Maria, still in a wheelchair, arrived at the
