Stanley's POV :I checked the time again and sighed. It had been thirty minutes since I flew in, and the driver is still not there. My girlfriend Jennet Cruise stood beside me with an impatient look.'He will be here soon' I said again for the fiftieth time and she rolled her eyes.Jennet was a stunning model and we have been dating for like 2 years. I plan on introducing her to my parents after grandpa's funeral.Finally, I saw the car park just in front of us 'It was high time you came' I sneered and he stared at me with an apologetic look before picking up our luggage.On our way back home, I held Jennet's hands and her fingers had a huge diamond ring that I had used to propose to her.'Will your parents be okay with our wedding?' she asked nervously and I smiled at her, of course, they would have no objection.'Trust me' I said and she nodded.Before long, we arrived at the mansion and there was a crowd, they must all be here to say their final words to grandpa.I walked down the
Kimberly's POV:'How did it go?' Mom asked as soon as I walked in, how do I say to her that Stanley is a jerk and a fool?'Mom he is worse than I expected' I scoffed then went to my bedroom and shut it angrily.My phone rang, it was my best friend, Layla.I answered her call.'Hey, Layla !''So was he cute and romantic or was he ugly and a total jerk ?''Ugly and a bigger jerk.''I'm so sorry about your future friend, but he isn't that ugly right? At least he has muscles right''I didn't check, but he had a fiancee already.''Ouch, now that's bad''I know right, let's talk in school tomorrow. I am tired Layla, I'll tell you everything tomorrow okay? later.'I hung up the phone before Layla could protest and took a deep breath. Stanley was a jerk, how dare he call my family money hunters.I know we are not as rich as the Williams family but we are filthy rich as well. To hell with him, if not for the fact that I cherished Senior Mr. Williams so much then I wouldn't have agreed to this.
Kimberly's POV :His affairs? I have no interest in getting involved in his stupid affairs and I hope he does the same.'As you wish' I smiled fakely before placing all of my focus on my meal.'Have breakfast with us tomorrow' Stanley stood up and started pacing in front of me.He said his last remark firmly. He was not asking me to have breakfast with them tomorrow. He was commanding me. What did he think of me? And why should I have breakfast with my husband's mistress? Did he think I have no pride in mine?'And why will I do that?' I asked him with a straight face.'I don't want her to feel like she is not wanted. Tell her that you are not interested in me and will never cross the boundaries, assure her that we are nothing more than strangers.' He stopped in front of me and looked down at me.Is he crazy? He wants me to say all that stuff to his supposed fiancée, it's true I am not interested in him and this marriage is just fiction but he doesn't expect me to say that.'What happe
Kimberly's POV:I decided to have a shower again before getting down to study. I walked out of the bathroom with my towel attached to me when I received a message from Layla.It read 'The quiz results are out'I checked my mathematics results and was shocked by how low I got, so I screamed out loud, my towel fell down and just then Stanley barged into my room and I had to scream again.Why did I have to shout? But it's not my fault, he was the one who got in without knocking. It's so embarrassing.I wrapped the towel around my body and ran to my closet to get dressed. After getting dressed in casual clothes, I walked to the sitting room and lowered my gaze when I saw Stanley standing there.He looked like a male Roman deity, he was not heavily muscled, but he was taut and slender.I wanted to turn around and leave, but he got sight of me and walked towards me.Seeing him come closer, I swallowed as my cheeks started to grow hot.'I...I am sorry about what happened, I thought you were
Stanley's POV:What was she doing? I thought we had an agreement. Or is it because of her book? I already apologized for that.My inheritance depended on this marriage, so why was she going against her words of minding her affairs? Mom gave me a confused look and I chuckled to avoid suspicions.'Yes ma'am, the third party is lovable' Kimberly added with a teasing smile, I am going to pull her ears so hard when we are out of here.'Who is this third party?' Kyle asked with a suspicious look 'Oh yesterday, an old classmate of mine joined us for breakfast…hum he wanted to greet my new wife'After explaining, I stared at Kimberly and gave her a pleading look 'Is that so?' Dad asked and she nodded. Finally, I could sigh in relief.'Let's have breakfast first' Mom said and we all walked to the dining table, Kimberly stood beside me and I couldn't help but step on her 'Ouch' she winced out in pain gaining everyone's attention.'What happened?' Kyle asked worriedly and she smiled at her. 'Not
Kimberly's POV: Jennet requested coffee, and with a heavy heart, I served her a glass of coffee before sitting. 'You are not that bad' she said with a teasing smile as she tasted the coffee. All I could do was nod. 'I am a model' she blurted these four words and I wasn't surprised, after all, I already checked her out. But it will be embarrassing to tell her that, so again I nodded. 'And I always dreamt of being an actress, so I was called by a producer…cool right?' she giggled happily. Why doesn't she get to the point? 'Tomorrow morning, I will leave San Francisco' now she had a sad look. Wait…was she going to leave Stanley? 'Kimberly, I love Stan so much. Now I won't be around, please don't seduce him' My eyes widened in shock, was this the request she wanted to ask? I shouldn't seduce Stanley. Was she being serious or what, she saw my shocked expression and placed her warm hands on mine. 'I know it's hard for you being in the same house with him and not loving him, but i
Stanley's POV:Now that I thought about it carefully, dad is never around when granny comes home. Is he scared of her? Did he lie about a business trip and just wanted to run?'Mother, come in first. You must be tired,' Mother said and we all walked in.The servants served some coffee, I kept glancing at granny. If she is against this wedding, then I might have a way out of this.I will leave Kimberly immediately and go accompany Jennet.Then she spotted grandpa's picture on the wall and walked towards it. They have always been like cats and dogs. I wonder why they left their kids to get married If they hated each other so much.'Old man, you think you won' she pointed at the picture angrily, Kyle couldn't hold her laughter so she burst out in one.Mom glanced at her angrily, but it was too late as she already attracted granny's attention.'How old is your wife?' she asked.'Eighteen' I said in one go, she was still too young.'Hmm,' grandma nodded and thought for a while, what she sa
Kimberly stared at Stanley with disgust, this man was so rude and arrogant so why would she give her first kiss to him?‘Mother, those are personal kinds of stuff…let them go home and have their privacy,’ Mrs. Williams said, trying to reduce the tension in this hall right now.Kimberly nodded in agreement if she leaves early then she will still be able to catch up with the bonfire. ‘Grandma it was great seeing you, but Stanley had a slight fever this morning and he needs to rest’ she said and they all stared at Stanley.‘Me? When?’ he was confused, then later he understood that she was looking for an excuse so that they could escape. He also wanted to escape from his grandma so he decided to dive with the flow.‘Oh yes, I need some rest Grandma’ He held his head.‘Is that so?’ the old lady asked, Kimberly, nodded and turned to leave with Stanley when a voice echoed.‘Wait, since my grandson isn’t feeling well…let him spend the night here’ she suggested ‘And you too’ she said to Kimber
After the reception, Stanley was happy about taking Kimberly away for their wedding night, so when they both go into his car and were about to leave.Bradly ran towards them and kept knocking on the car door 'Mother' he called out and everyone got surprised.Kimberly unlocked the door and stared at the kid who climbed in and sat on her thighs.'What are you doing?' Stanley frowned at him.'Are we not supposed to go together as a family' he asked and Kimberly chuckled. Maybe she could tease Stanley with this.'That's right, we will all have a lovely evening…just the three of us' she replied and Bradly was excited.'Or…or you could go play with your friend Lily' Stanley pointed outside at the little girl who had a sad look when she saw Brad was about to leave.'She will be going back tomorrow and you won't be able to see her again' Stanley tried convincing him.'We could always go to visit them' Kimberly added and Stanley glared at her suspiciously.'What are you up to?' he asked and sh
The doctor swallowed hard as he smiled ‘We will need a check-up first, come please’ he led him to the bed.-In Parker’s mansion, the mood was tense as everyone was worried about Stanley’s condition. Annie has been faking a smile with Bradly the whole time as she didn’t want the kid to worry.‘Annie, someone is here to see you’ Mrs. Parker said and Annie was confused, it is not like she lives here so why will someone come to find her?Nevertheless, she walked to the door and found Joe standing there. ‘Joe’ she called with a smile, now she realized she had missed this boring CEO assistant.‘Annie’ he called as well but didn’t say anything. Linda frowned and walked towards them.‘You both love each other so why behave like amateurs' she sneered and Annie’s face became red.‘What? Love…don’t be silly’ she stuttered, her face was red as a tomato.‘I don’t know if you love me, but at least I know I do…hope you understand plain English’ he said as she had never gotten any of his signals up
Kimberly looked at Noah with hope, she had always known him to be a smart and resourceful person.‘Can you help him?’ she asked.Noah hesitated before answering. ‘I can try my best, but brain surgery is a delicate procedure. We need to find a specialist who can handle this.’‘I'll help you find the best specialist,’ Mrs. Williams said, taking charge of the situation. ‘We'll do whatever it takes to make sure Stanley gets the best treatment.’The family rallied around Stanley, giving him the support he needed. They spent the rest of the meal discussing different treatment options and making plans to find the best specialist.After dinner, they all went back to the Williams' family home. Kimberly went to bed early, exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster of the day. Stanley stayed up late, talking with Noah and Mrs. Williams about his condition.As the night wore on, they finally made a breakthrough. Mrs. Williams had found a specialist who had successfully operated on patients with s
The family discussed happy moments and tried bonding together, Bradly was the most entertaining person as he was fun to be with.‘When I was kidnapped, I didn’t cry at all. I thought of my dad and then I remembered how powerful he is’ Brad said and this made Stanley smile, it gave him hope to overcome this disease.‘What about your mother?’ Annie asked as she loved talking with the kid.‘I always eat and drink all the food the bad man gave to me, because I didn’t want my mother to cry a liter when she sees I look pale’ Brad said and they laughed hard, Kimberly pulled his cheeks teasingly.‘Don’t lie to us, just say you ate it because you can't resist food’ Unise pointed at him and Brad frowned.‘When you will have a kid, then you will understand why I had to eat because of my mother’ the kid kept saying and Mrs. Williams had to admit that this kid was the same as Stanley when he was younger.He was too smart and sharp tongue, he also never allowed his dad to be alone with her. Only Go
Frank went to the airport early the next morning as he needed to pick up his wife and kid.After waiting for a while, Nora finally arrived with her four years old boy.‘Babe’ she called out and ran towards him forgetting that she had a kid, Frank laughed and pushed her front head with his index finger.‘How many times will I keep reminding you not to run off and forget our son behind?’ he asked and she hurried towards her son.‘Sorry my son, mommy just missed daddy a lot’ she said and the kid pouted before running to his dad's arm and he lifted him.‘So how was the Christmas holidays?’ he asked and Nora had a bright smile.‘It was perfect but would have been better If you were there. Oh yes, you said you had something to tell me about Stanley, did he perhaps decide to get married?’ she asked before taking off her sunglasses and they walked towards Frank’s car.‘Yes, he is getting married’ Frank replied and Nora was shocked, she never imagined Stanley getting married again. She was onl
Meanwhile…..In the prison cell, Jennet was losing her mind because Justin didn’t come back to her instead he sent a lawyer to bring the divorce paper to her.‘He can’t leave me’ she kept muttering while sitting on the cold floor.Just when she thought she had lost her mind, some police officers walked into the cell and dragged her out ‘Let me go, where are you taking me?’ she tried fighting but was held tightly and pushed into the van.Where are they transferring her to the main cell? Was she going to be locked up forever and why will she be transferred in the middle of the night?This bothered her a lot, she knew she had done a lot of bad things to Kimberly, things she doesn’t regret about it.She had given her body to Raoul so that he could kill Stanley and Kimberly’s baby, but he betrayed her and let the baby go. Now the baby is four years and Stanley has taken his revenge on her.Will she ever see her daughter again?Tears rolled down her cheeks as she thought about her bad deeds

When they were done with the discussion, Kimberly turned to leave with Stanley and Annie when Jack thought of something.‘Mr. Williams’ he called out and they all turned towards him. ‘You came to the hospital, is there any reason?’ he asked and Kimberly became curious as well, why was he at the hospital?‘No, I came for my regular check up’‘You have a regular checkup?’ Kimberly asked as she never knew about it.‘No, I came for something else’ he didn’t want to lie to Kimberly but he also didn’t want to tell her the truth.‘I will tell you after dinner’ he smiled at her and she shook her head in denial.‘Everything is fine, right? You are not sick?’‘He is Stanley Williams, even illness will be scared of him’ Annie said and Kimberly nodded, maybe he just came for a regular checkup.‘Let’s go’ Stanley said and they walked outside.He sent the driver away and got in his car with Kimberly and Annie, it was already late and the whole family gathered at the restaurant already.So Stanley d
Minutes later at the City Hospital, the driver dropped Kimberly and Annie in front of the hospital as they hurried in. ‘What do you think happened? Why will he call us at the hospital?’ Annie was curious and worried. Did something bad happen?‘I don’t know, let's get there and see…okay?’ she said irritated as Annie has been constantly asking her the same question.They arrived in the corridor and found Stanley talking with someone. ‘Stanley’ Kimberly called out and the man Stanley was talking with turned towards them.Jack saw Kimberly and Annie hurry towards them, Kimberly looked mature and responsible…four years was a great change for her.Everything being equal, it was a relief to see that Kimberly was still well and strong.‘Jack?’ Kimberly never expected to see Jack here.‘Look at our superstar’ Annie teased with an exciting laugh, it was so good reuniting with your old classmate.‘Annie, still the same. Kimberly?’ Jack called out and was about to hug her when Stanley pulled her
