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
Although a great part of his life entailed having no friends, he often overheard either coursemates or classmates blabbing about their romantic partners. Most swore off the unexplainable feeling that consumed them whenever they saw that special someone: Doreen always assumed they were exaggerating. He found it absurd; how could a fellow human like oneself have so much of an impact on another?Well, he lived a great part of his life with his soul oblivious, and heart unwanting of that feeling, but right now, if it ever flees from them, he'd die. Doreen would undeniably cease to exist without Tessa. As he resurfaced from the spacious rectangular pool, filled with water that sparkled beautifully due to the lights, his green eyes beheld her approaching figure. Her hands were pushing a trolley, and sincerely, he'd rather devour her than anything else that might be in there. It wasn't so deep at night, and as one who found a bit of solace when immersed in water, Doreen decided to take
Perhaps only she could feel it.As her pair of brown eyes continuously gawked at them from a corner of the ballet glance, Maria unarguably felt an unsettling aura emanating from her.The pretentious smile she always wore never bothered Maria since she seemed harmful, but today…Francess was different.Nothing about her appearance changed, yet Maria failed to shake off the feeling that she was different.Currently, the twins she took for friends were busy prattling away while her lips remained shut, and eyes discreetly glued on a conversing Tessa and Francess.The two seemed to be enjoying themselves, and it irked Maria out.“I don't fucking get it. Is she plain gullible or stupid?”Everything about Tessa became perplexing in her perspective after the Fords were revealed to be her parents.Earlier this morning Maria awakened to find her father Lloyd arrested; she wasn't surprised. Allegedly he kidnapped Tessa, and Octavia her maid, well, her previous maid was surely going to testify a
