Bruce returned to the car and got into the driver's seat. Stacy’s whole body went stiff the moment he got in. She bowed her head in shame, she had lied to him and could not look up into his eyes anymore. Bruce started the car and drove out onto the highway. While driving, the car remained silent with no word exchange as he focused on the road ahead. It started feeling too uncomfortable and Bruce let out a cough twice to break the silence, making Stacy look up at him and quickly avert her gaze away. "You realize what you did was wrong, right?” Bruce asked and Stacy nodded. "Yes, sir,” She responded meekly, her eyes fixed on her hands that rested on her lap. "Correct yourself,” Bruce demanded, not liking the `Sir’ she always called him. It made their relationship sound formal which he did not like at all. Stacy looked up at him with confusion clouding her eyes. "Eh?” "Correct yourself, little bird. Don't make Daddy really mad at your ass. He isn't pleased with you
Bruce and Stacy drove back home only to be welcomed by a worried little face. "Mummy!” Cherry screamed and ran to hug Stacy’s legs as she sobbed slightly. "I've been looking for you everywhere in the house and I thought you got lost. Or if Uncle Edward and Granny Olivia did something bad to you,” Stacy smiled as she raked her fingers tenderly through Cherry’s blonde hair. "No, I did not get lost and granny and Uncle Edward didn't do anything to me. I just went somewhere to get something,” Bruce almost rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you went to a place where you were almost raped by that donkey without informing anyone including me,” He thought to himself. "Okay, mummy,” Cherry cleaned her teary eyes with the back of her hand then turned to her Dad who was also smiling at her. "And why did you return from work so early? Are you free today?” "Yes, I am. And I thought of taking mummy on a date. Do you want to come with us?” Bruce asked as he knelt on one knee and pulled Cherry’s c
It was something she had never dreamt of doing because she knew she could never gather up the money needed but Bruce came to her aid like an angel sent from the heavens. "You realize what you are doing is embarrassing, right?” Bruce asked with a stern face. He didn't like the way she thanked him. He did it from his heart and also because Cherry had asked him to help Eddie out. Even without Cherry asking her dad to help, if Bruce knew someone was in a situation like this and he clearly knew that he could be of help then he would support them without asking for anything in return. That was Bruce Yates for you. Hearing Bruce words, Eddie was in a trance for a second as she looked up at his expressionless face and she instantly got back to her senses but it didn't stop her from still being appreciative. "No, it's not embarrassing at all Mr. Yates. I can never be ashamed to be thankful to you. I am more than ready to worship your feet 'cause what you offered to do is something I
Bruce got to the sitting room and kept the glass of juice on the center table. "have it, it's yours,”"Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Yates,” Eddie took the glass from the table Stacy and Cherry who had just gotten to the top of the stairs were about to climb down with a wide smile. Stacy saw Bruce serving Eddie a chilled glass of juice. The smile on her delicate face faded. she didn't realize when her fingers balled into a fist, digging her nails into her palm as Eddie accepted the glass. "Mom! Why aren't you coming along?? You look very beautiful, mummy, you do not need to be shy,” Cherry reassured not knowing that Stacy was not shy but was rather insecure about the relationship between Bruce and Eddie or maybe she was just overthinking it. Stacy released a deep sigh and released her fingers as she got down the stairs. "Bruce isn't like that. I should stop overthinking and being insecure. He can talk to anyone when he feels like it. I know he won't leave me or stop liking me. B
A knock was heard on the door. Stacy snapped her eyes open and pushed Bruce aside but he didn't budge."Someone is at the door!” Stacy reminded, aiming to make him move away. "Mummy, Daddy?!! What are you both doing in there? Aren't we going for dinner anymore?” Cherry’s voice rang out and Stacy forcefully pushed Bruce's massive body over her away but he pressed her down to the bed again. "I know. you do not need to tell me, birdie. I have ears, don't I?” "Cherry is here, what are you doing?’” Stacy exclaimed in a whisper, shooting a chaotic look at Bruce. "She can wait outside till we are done,” He grinned.,"What the heck are you saying? You do know that there's someone waiting for you downstairs and also outside the door, don't you? Please, lets stop here. I need to get changed,” Stacy whispered, her amber eyes wide open as she looked into his unbothered stormy eyes. Bruce still didn't move an inch. "Pookie, Daddy is busy right now. I and your mom would be out once we are
"Are you guys leaving me behind?” Bruce asked, watching his wife take his daughter away like he didn't exist. "Now this is becoming crazy!” he cursed and followed after them. By the time they got to the sitting room, Eddie and William who was seated on the chair quickly stood up on their feet with their heads bowed down. Bruce's gaze landed on William who was twitching his fingers nervously. "Dad, are you done here? When are we leaving?” Chery asked. Her gaze moved to the middle of the sitting room and saw the chef standing there. "Mr.Willaim, you are back?!” she exclaimed and ran to him, "When did you get back? You didn't tell me when you were leaving and now that you are back, you didn't even bother to inform me that you are here after a whole week of being away!” Cherry complained as she was about to hug him. "Stop there, cherry. Do not touch him,” Bruce commanded and everyone’s eyes moved to him as he descended from the stairs. His face was calm but stern at the same
"Sir?” William was now horrified. Did he have a change of mind and didn't want him to leave again? Does he plan on punishing him for being a traitor? For wanting to cause harm to him by following Vanessa’s orders? William slowly dragged his feet on the floor, turning to face Bruce's stern face. "You forgot to pick the hankie. Pick it up and leave, while also making sure we do not cross paths again, William. I am very disappointed in you,” Bruce uttered. William had been working in the Yates mansion for many years, he was brought to the mansion by Bruce mom when she was still alive yet William was so ungrateful as to be unloyal and a backstabber toward the son of the same woman who picked him up from nothing. Wiliam understood the reason why Bruce said the last words to him and he had nothing to justify his actions except that he was greedy for more money even if it meant using the wrong way to get it from the wrong person too. William slowly picked up the hankie wh
**** A wailing woman clutched her dead son as she sat on the tiled floor with the corpse between her legs. Tears kept streaming down her cheeks with mascara smooshed all over her face. "Why?! Why did he have to do this?” She wailed. "Wasn't shooting my son enough? Why did have to strangle my boy till death?! He almost raped his wife, yes! But it doesn't give him enough reason to do this to us! I will make sure I get my revenge on Bruce Yates. I will make sure he gets to feel the same pain my son felt when he did those heartless things to him. He must pay for it! Bruce Yates must pay for the life he took away from the Hawk family!” She swore and started shaking Dan. "Wake up, son! You cannot die and leave your mom all alone. You have to wake up this minute Daniel! Daniel, I said open up your eyes, wake up Daniel. Wake up!!” She screamed, slapping her son’s corpse on its face. "What do you mean by my son was murdered?” An old voice thundered in the middle of a spacious and ele
