Lucas let out a throaty cough to grab their attention. At least they'll stop being disgustingly irritating before him. Bruce moved his gaze to Lucas who stood a few feet close to the couch he sat on with Eddie next to him and his arm wrapped around her waist. She had forced his hand to get wrapped around her. "When did you get here?" Bruce was surprised to see Mr. Anderson's son in his home. "Where is your dad? We spoke today but he didn't mention you guys coming over," Bruce inquired as he let go of Eddie's waist and she pouted. She didn't want him to let go of her waist yet. She loved it when he did so. "Yes, he didn't. I told him in the car this afternoon when he came to pick me up from school that I would like to visit the Yates mansion. It was an unexpected request, Mr. Yates," Lucas informed and Bruce let out a humming sound as he bobbed his head in understanding. "Where is he now? Didn't he come with you?" Bruce inquired more. "Yes, he is at home and I'd like to
Olivia settled on her bed as Edward's shocked gaze remained fixed on her but she bothered less about it. "So, your question," Olivia said before clearing her throat. "How I got the cunt into agreeing to woo that scoundrel wasn't that hard," Olivia wore a sneaky smile on her lips as she remembered two or three days ago when Eddie told Stacy about her feelings for Edward in the kitchen downstairs. She used that to trick Eddie into agreeing to woo Bruce by giving her false promises of getting her and Edward together if she did her part of the plan well enough without any stupid mistakes. "She's not even grateful. She's very selfish to have agreed to separate Bruce from Stacy to get you. A very ungrateful bitch. Bruce is busy doing her good while she's here trying to get what she wants through her crooked ways. But who cares? It's to my advantage after all Olivia cackled in ecstatic Edward did not know what to make of this. Where did Eddie know him from? Why did she agree to s
Edward stepped out of his mom's room and closed the door behind him only for him to turn and bump into someone who felt feminine against his hard body build. He moved his icy orbs downwards and saw a pair of amber eyes looking up at him but didn't waste time to avert the gaze away. Edward swallowed slowly. "Stacy?" He uttered her name under his breath. Stacy didn't look at him for longer than a second and rather took the second stairs that led downstairs without apologizing to him after she had bumped into him unknowingly because she was still mad. Edward dashed to her and gripped her wrist tenderly before she could walk a step down the stairs. "You_Are you still mad at me? Is that why you refused to say anything to me? Not even an apology after hitting me," Edward asked softly. "Yes, not even an apology 'cause what I did here was a little payback compared to what Bruce would have done to you if I had told him about how much you keep hoarding and harassing me," Stacy
Edward palmed his hurting cheek, his gaze on the ground. He can't believe that something as insane as this could have happened to him. His love for Stacy has gotten to the point of him seeing her and her telling him the words he had always wanted to hear from her lips! That was so fucking insane and he needed help to get the fuck away from such thinking before he goes truly insane like his mom had said. "I don't know how this shit happened, mom. I was just boxing some minutes ago when someone knocked on my door but I didn't open up immediately. The knock carried on and I finally opened the door," His words got choked in his throat for a few seconds, contemplating how he was going to make his mom believe whatever he was going to say. "Mom, believe me. I saw her standing right before my door, smiling at me," Edward whispered. "I have no idea why she came and just left when you arrived” "It was me who was knocking on your door, Idiot!” Olivia felt like smacking her son fro
Her back was smooth. Ethan could not help but gawk at it. "Bruce?" Eddie called, her brows furrowed, wondering why Bruce wasn't responding to her and it suddenly dawned on her. "Oh, goodness! it's getting late. I am supposed to give him the pills in the morning and night. That must be the reason why he refused to answer me. I should give him the submissive pills now before he gets back to his senses and it becomes harder for me to give him the pills again," Eddie thought to herself. She hurriedly tied the rope by herself unlike when she was acting sluggish so that Bruce could come and help her out by tying the strap and she could try to seduce him as he tied the strap of her night dress. She spun around to face Bruce with a wide smile on her face. "I've done it, Bruce. I tied it myself_" She paused when she saw an old man with scrambled brown hair standing before her, close to the door. "You?" Her eyes stretched wide in shock. "Who are you? What are you doing in my room? Wh
"I don't care. That bitch is doing more than I can chew and I can't take it any longer from her. I agree that my wife has refused to accept my change because I noticed how much she and Cherry are trying hard to make sure the bitch doesn't sleep in the same room with me but she's just too persistent for her good and I sometimes feel like killing her in cold!" Bruce complained. "Keep calm Bruce and explain to me what happened today," Doctor Miles coaxed and Bruce released a harsh breath before explaining to A_Z about all that's been happening including when he saw Cherry sneak a jar of ants into his bed to scare Eddie away "Hmm_Cherry is indeed becoming smarter by the day just like you," Doctor Miles chuckled, remembering Bruce's younger days and all his mischievous tactics when he was still little. "I know right," Bryce also released a chuckle, he found it amusing that he was not mad at her and rather was proud. "Just that she still wants to sleep in my room even when the pos
She ate halfway through her food and moved the chair backward, making a screeching sound as she got up from the chair. It seemed like she was done and did not want to eat more so she carried the food from the dining table and went into the kitchen. She kept the plate of food away then went into her room, and put on a sweater, hand gloves, and a blue head warmer. Bruce recognized the head warmer she had on as the one he made for his mother, Emily, with her and his name beautifully written on it. It made a painful smile curve up Bruce's lips. He had completely forgotten about the blue head warmer he made for his mom because it was nowhere to be seen after her death. She rubbed her palm against the other as the weather grew freezing. Her eyes glimmered when she caught sight of someone in the rain and she began waving happily. "Hey!! I am right here," She said, waving her hand happily, trying hard to get the attention of whoever it was. Bruce straightened his back, his
"Fine then. I will tell my spy to do further investigation on what happened that night," Doctor Miles said and Bruce nodded. "Cool. I need to go now, that bitch told me to make dessert for her. it's not up to twenty-four hours and she's already making such demands. It irks me and only makes me regret ever accepting Pookie's request to help her out. But_" Bruce sighed. "Her brother does need help and that's what I will do. I won't let a bad fruit in the basket spoil the rest of the fruits," "That's good and thoughtful of you. You should go and attend to your second wife. or should I call her your_Mistress?" Doctor Miles teased with a chuckle following up. "She's none of that! I have only one wife and that is Stacy, you hear me?!" Bruce questioned in a thundering tone in the car, his stormy eyes howling like a hurricane. Doctor Miles moved the phone away from his ear. "Okay okay, I heard you. You don't have to burst my eardrums, do you?" Doctor Miles rolled his eyes. "Goo
Stacy just glared at him. "What? it's not like I believed him, did I?" Bruce defended then moved his gaze around the sitting room. "And why isn't Eddie around here?" He asked, suspecting that she might be up to something. "I told the guards to throw her out of the estates. She's doing too much and I can't accept it any longer. I've taken more than I can chew," Stacy snorted, twitching the side of her lips as she folded her arms over her chest. Bruce walked over to Stacy in slow and calculated steps that Stacy had to look up at him, wondering what he wanted to do. " Wh_what?" She stuttered and Bruce swiftly wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest. "You did a good job by taking out the trash, little birdie," He smirked, leaning closer to her ear. Vanessa glared at the couple romancing before her, her eyes full of hate and jealousy. He had taken everything from her and now he was about to imprison her on top of that? Who does that?! Cough Cough
"Bring her In,” Bruce commanded. One of the police who didn't handcuff anyone went outside and informed his team using a hand sign then he returned to the sitting room. "She is coming,” He informed with a bow. Stacy saw Bruce nodding and soon she saw someone getting pulled into the sitting room by another police officer like she was some sort of criminal and her jaw dropped to the ground! Exact features, exact eyes, exact hair color, and style! The only difference was that the clothes she had on were worn out and looked ragged. Edward's feet staggard back in disbelief. "This can't be true. There's no way she would be the one I fell in love with. She can't be the one,” He whispered to himself, his gaze fixed on her as he shook his head. Edward refused to believe cause the girl he knew back in school didn't look this ragged. She was well-kept and was a good girl who was barely noticed but he did the moment he bumped into her in the hallway when she was in tears. How
Everyone listened to it attentively. * "Bruce, I can't live on like this. I love you. I've always loved you from the beginning! That's why I decided to date Edward, at least that way I'll get a chance to speak to you once at least because I never had a chance to speak to you," CShe confessed, her breath coming out shakily. "I have always loved you right from when we were little but I am just a girl no one took notice of. Just a girl behind the wall and when someone finally did, I did not. I do not Love Edward Yates. I love you, Bruce. It's you I want and love. I can do anything to make you believe me. I can strip myself right before you if that's what you need to see before you believe me, Bruce Yates," her voice begged desperately and for some seconds there wasn't anyone responding to her "I do not love you neither would I do so after you strip yourself. I love someone else and it's only her that I will keep loving," Bruce told her to her face genuinely."You should have some
* * * * After dropping Cherry off at school, it was already noon and she needed to pick her up before the bell rang for closing. Stacy headed upstairs to get her purse as she made a call to Bruce's line for God knows how many times now with no answer from him. She kept calling every time and now she was about to pick Cherry up from school but he was yet to answer his calls. "What's wrong? Why hasn't he been picking up?" Stacy's face was wrinkled as she glared at the screen of her phone. She was bothered about his whereabouts and worried about his well-being. "He should at least pick up and let me know that he is doing good rather than getting me so worked up!" Stacy grumbled, making another call to his which was yet ignored again with no answer. "Pick up the damned phone, Bruce!" Stacy yelled out at the screen, venting her anger and worry on the phone by the way she angrily held it. She climbed up the final stairs and was about to make a right turn when she b
"Where did he go? Wasn’t he here last night?” Stacy gasped, wondering why he wasn't on the bed and it was still very early in the morning. A knock on the door caught her attention and she moved her gaze to the door. "Mummy? Daddy? I've been knocking, why aren't you guys answering the door?” Cherry’s little voice caught Stacy’s ears as Cherry kept knocking on the door, outside the room. She immediately got down from the bed and was about to answer the door when she noticed how rough her hair was the moment her gaze brushed past the mirror. The rough night Bruce had with her replayed harshly in her mind. How could Bruce have left the room just like that without saying anything to her? Or was she thinking too much about it? She blinked her eyes three times, moving the memory and everything concerning Bruce to the back of her mind for the time being, and quickly combed through her hair, fixing the out-of-place strands of her hair. "Mummy?!” Cherry screamed and banged h
"I_i...I do," Her voice came out shakily that she couldn't tell him that she didn't want him. Or perhaps she did. She did miss him, his breath against her sensitive skin, his touch, the way his tongue played on her skin. She missed him a lot in these few hours while he was away, spending his time with Eddie. She just wished she could find out the reason why he was hurting her so much. He hurt her at first and now he was getting close to her like nothing happened before. Why should she let him her close to her again after what he did? He should pay for it. He must pay for it! "You do, huh?" Bruce smirked and slammed the door next to them shut with one of his hands, then twisted the key till it got locked as his gaze remained on Stacy, keeping her in place. "Then why bother to pull away from me when you know you want the same from me? Isn't that being inconsiderate? Being selfish when you know I need you? and miss you so badly? huh?" Bruce confessed as he whispered again aga
"What? How can cockroaches be in here?" Bruce frowned. Eddie hid behind him instantly. "Don't ask me those damned questions! How would I know? First, it was ants, and now cockroaches? What the heck is up with your room?” Eddie asked. “I don't know. It's never been like this,” "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say all these insects started coming Into your room ever since I came here? Huh?” Eddie asked, glaring at Bruce. "I didn't say anything like that but if you take it that way, it might be true,” Bruce shrugged his shoulders. "I will call the guard to come and clean up the room so you can have some sleep. I might also have to hire another maid to clean up-” "Sleep where? So another type of insect can climb up my body? I can't sleep here, Bruce. I won't sleep in this scary room filled with all sorts of insects!” Eddie suddenly screamed when she felt a cockroach crawl up her feet. "Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!” She screamed but Bruce was confused about what h
An unknown knock was heard on their door and Bruce moved his gaze to the transparent door but could not see who was outside his room due to the way the glass was built. Eddie looked at him and then at the door, she knew that there were only two people who could come to Bruce's room by this time, knocking on his door. "Those witches won't let me enjoy my time here," She whispered under her breath, her eyes full of annoyance. Bruce was about to get up from the bed when she beat him to it. "I will check," She said you him gently and Bruce relaxed back. "Who is at the door?" Eddie asked as she walked to the door and opened it. There was no one before her till she moved her gaze downwards and saw the blonde-haired girl she had expected. She frowned her face at the sight of her before throwing questions at Cherry's face. "What do you want?" Eddie asked but the moment Cherry opened her mouth to answer her questions, she threw another."Shouldn't you be sleeping in your room
Eddie froze midway through her facade as she frowned and pouted her lips at Bruce. "Such a grumpy man. He can't even feed a pregnant lady who is in pain," She complained with a sneer on her lips. "I know that I am not pregnant but what if I was pregnant for him?! Could this have been the way he would have ignored me like I am a nobody all in the name of he is sleepy and tired?" Eddie rolled her eyes. "Douchebag!" She cussed him and sighed. "Goodness! I have to think of something really quick." She thought as she averted her gaze to his broad back that was faced against her. A few moments later_ "Oww!!" A loud cry erupted In the room. "I need water, please. My belly is hurting so bad! Our baby is in danger," The annoying cry pierced into Bruce's ears and he grumbled. "The heck is she up to now?" He almost yelled out. Shutting his eyes tightly, he remembered that damned man who forced him to do this. " Doctor Miles, I will make sure you pay for making me pass through this hel
