He took out his phone and called Bruce's line. It didn't take long before it got connected.

"Is everything good? Why the sudden phone call?” Bruce inquired because it was rare for his personal guard to call his line.

"Sir, did you by any chance give young. Mrs the permission to leave the estate on her own without the use of a car?” He asked cautiously.

Bruce frowned at his question. "No, I did not. What happened? Where did she say she was heading to and when did you guys get back from the mall?

"Not too long, sir. We didn't spend much time over there. She said she was going to visit her Dad, and that she was missing him a lot. But I don't believe her words. I also offered to follow her up but she didn't let me, giving some random excuses that she expected me to believe but it was clear it's all a lie,” He reported. "She constantly bit on her lower lip and I saw how hard she gripped her purse. These are signs of someone telling a lie,”

Bruce was silent for a moment. His thoughts r

    Stacy jumped when she heard the sound of the line being cut off. "Oh no, how did they see me ?” Stacy pondered, her amber eyes darting around to at least catch a glimpse of who it was but she didn't find anything suspicious. She took in a deep breath and released all her fears. Who was she kidding? She was still damned scared and regretted the fact that she should have told someone about where she was heading instead of being so stupid and coming alone. She got to the entrance of the casino and a burly man approached her. "Follow me,” He commanded but Stacy didn't move with him as she stared at his broad back in apprehension. The burly man halted and turned around with his sharp gaze on her. "Why aren't you moving?” He questioned and Stacy shaked her head. "I don't know you. So I can't just follow you like a zombie,” "You won't even know a lot of people here but in order to get your stupid dad, then you should do the needful,” He uttered and continued walkin

    Stacy shut her eyes, gritting her teeth as she muttered out the name. "Dan Hawk. That bastard once again,” She never wanted to see him again. She just wished that he would die and everything that had to do with him would end. "Take a look at the angry face of my sweet future wife,” He laughed gesturing his hand at her and the few other guys laughed along. "Isn't she so pretty? Increase the lights in the room. I want to see her more clearly this time,” He instructed and the men did just as told. The lights came on brighter and a pleased lustful smile curved up his lips. His gaze landed on her milky legs, trailing up to her thighs just above her knee, and then the beautiful floral red dress she wore. Her dark silky long hair was let down, cascading down her back as her face turned beet red like a tomato. "Isn't she just so beautiful,” He felt attracted to Stacy more than ever. It's just been two weeks since she had stayed with Bruce Yates but she was already glowing so muc

    At the same time, she wondered why the supposed guard Dan Hawk had hired refused to do anything to stop her from hitting their boss, and she saw a ray of light shining into the room. Her gaze moved to the door and found two men standing at the entrance. Stacy immediately kicked Dan Hawk away with her shoe and stood up in shock. How did they find her there? She had lied to them about where she was heading. Could they have been spying and keeping track of where she went? "S-sir?” Stacy stuttered in shock. How did they get there? She didn't know but somehow she felt relieved that they found her. But the shock that they also found out that she lied to them was taking over her body, mind, and emotions. Bruce didn't bat his stormy gaze that swirled like a tornado in his eyes as his gaze shot countless daggers at Dan Hawk. Bruce took out his phone and made a call to his PA. Once the call got connected, he spoke through gritted teeth, fighting damned hard to hold in his fury at

    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

    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?!

    "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.
