Hey there my lovely readers. This author note is directed to Tasha Mae and Lovelizz5788_ I saw your complaint in the previous chapter Lovelizz. You said there's too much drama popping up here and there but it happened to keep you guys engaged in the book. lol, I don't even think there's much drama in the Yates mansion yet cause I had a lot of drama that I would have added but since the book would stop at 200k words, I felt there was no need and it might also feel dragged. That's why I am making it fast-paced but it seems you don't like it that way. Then, Tasha Mae, dear. I hope you see this cause you had said you would stop wasting your money on this book and that the plot is all over the platform. But for some reason, I am glad that you read up ...
Miriam's words replayed in Stacy's mind as her blood boiled furiously. It was the same Eddie who earned her sympathy and she had promised to help her get Edward whom she said she was deeply in love with and was yearning for his love from high school. it was the same Eddie who they promised to help out by paying her brother's bills, paying her a substantial amount for cooking in the mansion, and also giving her a space to live with them as one. As a family, even Cherry had accepted her and was always calling her Aunty Eddie. But it turns out that she's a sly fox who made her way into living with them and also stole her husband away from her right under her nose! "Get your despicable self away from my husband, Eddie Lara!" Stacy commanded through clenched teeth. "You can try doing that yourself, first wifey," Eddie laughed and giggled more when Bruce rubbed her flat tummy with his large palm carefully. "Our baby is going to grow up to be as handsome as you are, hun," She
"But why hasn't he run out too?" Stacy asked, more like she was asking herself as she moved her gaze to the door of Bruce's room. "I don't know. Should we go in and check?" Cherry asked, watching her mummy walk lowly to the door about to push it when it suddenly swung open with Bruce standing before her. He looked really angry as his stormy gray Orbs penetrated her into her soul and she trembled like a thief who had been caught stealing.Stacy's body was stiff along with her lips that turned dry and her throat. She had to swallow a lump of saliva, her heart pounding hard in her chest as she stared back at him. She wondered If Bruce figured out that Cherry was the one behind it. If he doesn't know who brought the ants in there then why was he looking at her that way? "B_Bruce?" She stuttered with trembling lips, taking a step back away from his broad body build. "How did ants get into my room?" Bruce asked coldly and Stacy immediately shook her head but immediately shut he
"I do not know..." Stacy mumbled and saw Bruce's bodyguard coming towards them with his usual stern face Stacy wondered what he was coming towards Bruce's room to do. "Why are you up here?" Stacy asked him and he paused before her. "Mr. Yates had instructed me to clean up his room. He said some ants made their way into the room and he was yet to know what attracted them to his room," He explained. Stacy paused her lips for a moment in thought and smiled with a plan in mind. The bodyguard soon returned downstairs after he was done cleaning the room and went over to where Bruce sat on the couch. "Sir, I've cleaned up your room as instructed. Is there anything else you'd like me to do?" He informed with a dutiful tone. "Are all the ants gone?" Bruce asked in a doubtful tone. " I don't want more ants biting my wife at night when she should be sleeping on the bed. So if you are not sure that they are all gone then you should go back up to my room and clean the whole place ag
"Fine," Bruce drawled. He didn't want to agree to it but he had to. "You can sleep in our room but that is after he is done. I don't want you to run around tonight because an ant bit you," "If he cleans the room well then I am sure there won't be any ants," Eddie smiled and Stacy stood up from the couch, running out of patience and self-control to watch those two get close. Eddie smirked at Stacy as she watched her leave. Well_ She must have been unbothered about their closeness when she first stepped into the sitting room but it seems it was just an act. Bruce didn't know why but watching Stacy leave gave him some relief. It meant she watching them didn't sit well with her which was the reason she stood up and left. She still loves him. ****** Lucas sat at Cherry's reading table as he made a call to his Dad. "What do you need a tracker for? Are you turning into some spy or what, Young man?" Mr. Anderson asked. Confused about what his son would want to do with a track
"Oh, that's right. I will let my dad know but I wonder if he would listen to me now. Sigh..” Cherry caressed Daisy’s fur gently and Daisy liked Cherry’s hand lovingly. It made Cherry giggle at it cause it felt ticklish by he way her slimy tongue rolled on her skin. "Daisy is a lovely puppy. Don't you agree with me?” Cherry asked Lucas with her gaze still concentrated on Daisy. "Um- Sure. She's your puppy so she must be lovely just as you are,” Lucas answered, making Cherry laugh at him. "I am lovely but stubborn sometimes so I guess as my new friend you should practice tolerating a lot of bullshit from this tough head over here. Haha,” Cherry laughed. Lucas just stared at Cherry with a smile on his lips. He admired her silently without saying a word to her. "I forgot to let you know_” Lucas mumbled after some time of silence. "What could that be, Lucas? Tell me. I want to know,” Cherry requested curiously. "You and I will be the ones doing the shoot for my Dad
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
