Lara smiled sweetly to Joseph and spoke, "Thank you, sir."Joseph smiled back at her, even though he wasn't happy seeing the red mark spread across her left cheek. He replied, "You're welcome. If you need anything, you let me know."Lara responded, "Okay."She carried her box of clothes and was more than happy and felt at home already.Since Lara had been wearing clothes that didn't match her personality. Although the clothes inside her box were cheap, they were still cute and decent compared to the hot, seductive dresses she had been wearing.Lara went into the room and shut the door carefully as she happily walked back to the bed, forgetting that Stella had slapped her before.Sitting on the warm, relaxing bed, Lara opened her box and took out her bra and panties and also a simple, straight green dress that she had.Her mother mostly sewed plain dresses for her as she was a tailor, even though her mother sold fruit at the market square. Most of the clothes she wore were sewn by her m
Gloria was surprised to see the green gown Lara was wearing. The gown had faded and was not sparkling like something recently bought, compared to the torn yellow dress that Stella had ripped off.Gloria wondered where Lara got the gown, as Lara's breasts were now cupped in a bra, and her nipples were no longer flashing.Stella had a puzzled expression on her face as she saw Lara looked different, like someone from the village and entirely different from the previous seductress that wanted to seduce Mike.Stella immediately stared at Mike as their gazes met. Mike was staring at Lara as she walked into the kitchen.Whenever Mike saw Lara, he completely forgot that he had anyone with him, and he was rather lost staring at Lara until she completely disappeared out of his view and into the kitchen.Stella had questions to ask Mike, as to where Lara got the clothes she was now wearing from. But Stella calmed in relief as the green gown looked too poor, and she knew Mike wouldn't fall for tha
Gloria stared back at Lara pitifully, and she walked up to meet Lara, who shuddered away from her in fret. Joseph stood watching them from his room door that was facing the living room.Gloria approached Lara and said, "I know Stella can be hard at times. But you should ignore her as she's also a friendly person. Do take care of yourself and I hope you enjoy your stay here."Gloria offered Lara a friendly smile, and Lara met her gaze and smiled back.Gloria then said, "I'm leaving now to our family house. Do take care, and bye. Bye, Joseph."Joseph quickly waved to Gloria. "Yeah, bye, ma'am."Gloria finally walked out from Mike's Villa, and she went to her car and left.While Joseph walked up to meet Lara and said, "Don't mind the other lady. She's not yet the boss's wife that you shouldn't be afraid of her."Lara stared at Joseph in silence, as she was still a little afraid of staying with him and the rest of the men in the mansion, let alone Stella.Lara muttered, "Okay."Joseph repl
Mike sat in his office waiting for Gideon to arrive, and he busied himself with the office work he had to do, checking his hotel records with his computer and staring at his monitor screen.Just then, Mike got a call from his mother.Mrs. Cindy asked, "Hello Mike."Mike sighed heavily as he placed the phone to his ear and replied, "Good morning, mother."Mrs. Cindy questioned, "Good morning, Mike. How was your night?"Mike replied, "Fine, mother. Why are you calling me?"Mike could hear his mother sigh, and she questioned him, "Mike, who's the lady in your home? Gloria just told me now all that happened there, as to Stella behaving differently and also slapping the innocent young lady in your closet."Mike groaned, "Mother..."Mrs. Cindy replied, "Don't 'Mother' me, Mike! Go straight to the point. I thought we agreed that you will stop hosting all these prostitutes and settle down with Stella."Mike was silent, and Mrs. Cindy questioned, "Are you listening to me at all, Mike?"Mike rep
Gideon screamed out, "What the fuck, Mike! You must be joking. Fallen in love with a strange lady that you didn't know where she came from? What if she's a witch or something? No, this cannot be happening to you, Mike. I will advise you to send her away."Mike stared at Gideon, not expecting his best friend to say the same thing as his mother, as Gideon had always been supporting him in his bad-boy lifestyle.Mike shook his head and said, "No, I cannot. I love her, and that's the truth."Gideon cut in, "Mike! Can you listen to yourself at all? How can you just fall in love with a strange lady that you don't know where she came from, who she's related to, and a whole lot more about her? I think it's best you let her go and send her away. Where's she now? Where's the lady your family wants you to marry, I mean, as you just told me now that she has also moved into your house too?"Mike shook his head and replied, "I cannot send her away. I will try to get to know her first. I know this lo
Mr. Richard smiled at Mike and replied, "Not really, Mike. I came for a business meeting with a client here, whom requested we should meet here."Mike paused as he wanted to walk away, and he asked his father, "A 'he' or a 'she' client?"Mr. Richard smiled at Mike and replied, "What do you mean by that Mike? A 'he,' of course."Mr. Richard frowned, but Mike offered his father a deep bow and said, "Alright, father. Do take care, I'm off to my home before the rain would start."Just as Mr. Richard wanted to enter the hotel lobby, he paused and asked Mike, "That reminds me, Mike, how are you and Stella faring? As I heard from your mother that Stella moved to your house with Gloria as of yesterday that I returned home late and didn't see them at home."Mike replied, "Stella is fine, father. I'm leaving now, bye."Mr. Richard shook his head as he watched Mike walk away. He knew it wasn't in a public zone that he should be asking his son about Stella, but he subtly hoped that Mike and Stella
Stella sat waiting, and soon Joseph stepped out from the kitchen with a tray of palatable meals that he had prepared, as Joseph was a great chef and he probably enjoyed his stay in Mike's mansion, especially now that Lara and Stella were around, compared to the time when he was all alone and with only Mike, who didn't have time and only hosted different ladies to entertain him.Joseph approached the dining table and carefully served the delicious pasta in front of Stella, and Stella sighed heavily as she knew Mike was treating her badly because of Lara.Stella wanted to rush up to Lara's guest room, as she hadn't been to the guest room side to see how it was, as she believed the guest room would be the same as hers, and so she sighed.Joseph asked her, "Do you care for juice or any beverage, ma'am?"Stella shook her head and replied, "No, I'm fine. Just leave me alone."Joseph answered, "Surely."Joseph stepped aside and waited, as only Stella was in the dining room. Just as Stella pic
Mike sat down waiting for Lara to step out, and he was becoming restless not seeing her stepping out yet while he fondly played with his spoon, and he hadn't even started eating.Stella stared up from her plate and at Mike, she saw he was staring at the kitchen door like he was contemplating something, and her eyes fell on his plate, and she saw he hadn't started eating it.Stella asked him, "What's wrong?"Mike gasped, "Oh! Nothing."Mike smiled a little, offering Stella a fake smile so she wouldn't think much, and he resumed eating his pasta quickly just as Stella was through eating. Mike was also through, and he stood up to take his plate to the kitchen, not waiting for Joseph to step out and clear it either.Stella stared at Mike as she saw him going to the kitchen, and Mike even took her plates along with his, and she couldn't protest.Stella bit her lower lip and frowned as she stood beside the dining table while Mike left for the kitchen to drop his used plate along with Stella'
