Cherry nodded her head and pressed her face on his toned shoulder, seeking solace for her racing heart. Stacy tapped Cherry on her back. "But how do we escape from them? The guards are not here and if we should call on the cops, I doubt they will make it here on time,” Stacy tried to come up with a plan to get away from them without a scratch on either of them. "Do we need to call on the cops?” Bruce chuckled. "It seems you do not know the devil you married yet,” Stacy’s jaw dropped again. "You shouldn't say such words around our daughter, Bruce,” Stacy scolded as she sneered her lips. "That's bad parenting,” "What did I say wrong?” Bruce asked, feigning innocence. "She is my first child after all. so it's normal to make mistakes while parenting the first child but you need not worry. When Pookie has younger siblings then we will be the best parent in the US,” He winked at her and Stacy momentarily forgot the dangerous situation they were in as a blush crept up her chee
But Bruce didn't stop. He continued pulling the trigger as he aimed the shots at him. The Assassin tried dodging the firing bullets that were shot at him but he could not keep it up and needed some time to have a breathing break. Not able to bear it anymore, he grumbled. "Fuck! Just stop firing bullets, devil!” He cursed, as he ran and hid behind the wall of another dining room. "You're such a coward,” Bruce stopped firing the bullets and tucked the gun into the back of his pants when the assassin ran into the same room his partner had scrambled into in fear. It was clear the partner didn't want to be shot and go through the same pain again. "You and your so-called partner still can not stand up to my daughter. I will advise that both of you return back to whoever sent you guys here and tell him that I said he did a bad job in choosing assassins,” They didn't say a word. The air remained silent with only the heavy breathing of the men hiding behind the door in the room
"Pack the bodies,” Bruce instructed and was about to return back to Stacy and Cherry when the guard stopped him. "Sir,” He called and Bruce turned to him swiftly with a raised brow. "Sir, I have a feeling that this assassination has something to do with the Hawk family,” The guard revealed. Bruce scoffed. "I thought as much. They are the only ones I might have offended recently. It's crazy that that’s the best they can do but it turns out to be very stupid,” "Yes, indeed it is. I was wondering why Mr. Hawk just decided to let us off after killing Daniel Hawk, his son, but it turned out that the old man did not really let us off,” The guard paused to hold in his laughter. "But at the same time, what he did was dumb,” the guard stated out of fact cause what reasonable person would send such inexperienced men to kill his boss if not a fool? "Yeah, if he is really serious about killing me then he should try to do better next time. I don't always have the time to handle little
Bruce took Stacy’s hand into his as the other hand held onto the steering. Stacy felt a massive hand take hold of her hand that was placed on her lap when she stared out of the window Slowly turning to him, she saw a small coaxing smile on his thin pink lips as his grip on her little hand in his massive one reassuringly tightened more. Bruce didn't like the cold shoulders Stacy gave off to him and he was willing to do anything to make her happy and also make the cold shoulders she gave off stop. Cherry who settled in the backseat did not realize when she slept off as she lay flat in the backseat while Daisy rested her head on her paw's hand. "I'm sorry,” Bruce mouthed sincerely to her. His stormy eyes were filled with a genuine apology and Stacy could feel the icy cold walls she built around her slowly crumble into snowy dust. Her lips fell open to mouth out a word at least but she didn't know what to say. Bruce clenched her hand lightly as his thumb massaged the b
"It's fine, Ma'am, he did not mean to push me. I'm fine," Eddie tried to stop Stacy from yelling at him. "No, it's not. Take a look at what he did for your head. How could he do this to a girl?" Stacy was mad at him. She looked up at him. "Did you think she's me? Do you think she's the same Stacy you and your mom had treated so badly and sent out of the estate gate under the heavy downpour of rain two weeks ago?!“ Stacy asked furiously, remembering the day Olivia and Edward had treated her like she was a bag of garbage that needed to be thrown away into a garbage bin. "What's going on here? what was that noise all about?" Bruce asked as he stepped out of the room with his hand in his pocket. He glanced at Stacy and saw that she was glaring daggers at Edward as she held onto Eddie. He glanced at Edward. Edward had an unbothered look on his face as he looked away from Stacy. Bruce sighed. "What did you do this time again, Edward?" Bruce asked tiredly but Edward didn't
Stacy could feel her anticipation rising to its limits as she bit harder on her lower lip, her sensitive body turning on, she could feel her clit throb as she clenched the bedsheets on both sides to steady her racing heartbeat. She saw the evil and lustful look Bruce gave off as his stormy eyes stripped her naked. As he got closer to the bed, Stacy’s toes curled. Soon, the lights in the room went off and they were ripped off their clothing as smacking and sucking of the lips filled the room in an erotic sound. Moaning along with groans covered up the room as Bruce and Stacy did the deed. Sometimes, whimpering cries due to too much pleasure left Stacy’s lips. Sometime later, Bruce lay in bed with Stacy's head placed comfortably on his toned chest. Their breathing came out in sync after their wild sex which he referred to as punishment. "Stacy?" Bruce her name rolled off his tongue as his finger kept raking through her dark long hair which looked like a mess.
"I know and I am very sorry for getting you worked up. I just didn't know what to say. or rather, I didn't know how to ask you. I'm very sure it sounded weird 'cause we are already married," Bruce chuckled weirdly. "But this ring symbolizes a lot of things including my love for you, Stacy," Stacy felt her heart warm up as a tear threatened to fall off from the side of her eyes but she blinked it back. "Get up first. I don't like this position you are in," Stacy tried to laugh off the awkward and emotional moment. "No, this is the right way to propose. I can't propose while standing cause it is wrong. Accept the ring first then I can consider getting up to my feet,“ Bruce bargained and Stacy rolled her eyes. "You are so persistent,“ She shook her head in disbelief. "You must have given your mom such a headache when you were little. who knows, maybe Cherry got those traits from you after all,“ "I agree with you. I am her dad after all. That's why I always laugh it off when
"Good girl. So now, Daddy wants you to keep living by those words. If Granny or Uncle Edward says anything bad to you just simply ignore them. so long they did not touch or hit you. And even if they do, then just let me know and I will handle them myself" Bruce instructed. Cherry nodded. "Yes, Daddy." "Good. come and have your breakfast quick before you get late for school on your first day of resumption," Bruce drew out a chair for her. Cherry walked up to the dining table and instead of settling on the chair her dad had pulled out, she asked. "The chair is for me, right?“ "Yes of course. it's yours, my little princess. I will pull out another for your mummy," Bruce told her and went to another chair to it out for his dearest wife. Cherry still had what happened the previous day in mind because Bruce had neglected her a little while caring for her new mummy and she got jealous a little. Eddie was seen carrying out a lunch bag as she came out of the kitchen. " I'
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
