When Black offered to punish them, Daphne waved her hands dismissively to reject his help.“We have both agreed to do things on our own, I'm enough to protect myself” Daphne said.“Okay” Black’s voice followed immediately as if he was expecting her to reject his help anyway.“I don’t want to get grandmother worried so you are not to say a word about this to her” he said to Daphne who nodded her head before resting back in bed.But then Black speaks again “ You have 20 minutes to rest, I will have Kai drop you home on the way” he said and Daphne replied with a nod.Black ignored her as he brings out his phone to sort out some works.******When Daniel and Jessica returned to the Villa, they didn’t say a word of what happened to old lady Williams, instead they lied about giving the two their space.After parking Black’s car, they left the luxurious Villa in their own car.On the way, the unfamiliar number sent yet another message to Daniel and he showed it to Jessica.Daniel read the te
It’s a Sunday morning, Daphne woke up to cracks of sunlight that seep into her room from the tiny spaces of the shutters, it was overcast on the floor of her room making everywhere glow and lively. It looks so beautiful that she didn’t want to get out of bed.She removed the bed cover from her body and hugged the pillow tight to her head to enjoy the beautiful view of the rays.The sound of her phone snapped her out of her mind exploration and she frowned upon the phone vibrating on the side stool beside her bed.She checked it to see an unfamiliar number calling her, she screwed up her face contemplating on picking up the call or not. On second thought, she knew she hasn’t done anything wrong and she swiped the green button to accept the call.She placed the phone on loudspeaker but didn’t say a word until a voice rang out from the other end.A voice that sends shivers down her spine and made her hair spark upward despite the hot air.“Why did you ignore my texts throughout the night
She saw her phone vibrating on the bed and it was the same number that called her earlier today.She picked it and Black said “Come out in 5” and then ended the call with her.“Is this how rich people behave?” She rolled her eyes and dropped the phone.Lucky for her to have taken her to bath and taken care of her kids before settling for school work.Downstairs is Black waiting for her in the car. At exactly five minutes, the door came open and Daphne rushed out of the house dressed in a Maxi dress with her hair let loose on her shoulder which stops at her back level. She wears her sunglass as she approaches the car.This makes her look so young and beautiful. Black glanced at her once in anger but he was forced to take a second look at her.He only looked away when she entered the car and said panting heavily. “Five minutes exactly right?” She said.“Let’s go,” Black said to Kai ignoring her entirely.Daphne scrunched up her face and turned away from him, she prefers to look at the b
Confused! Daphne shuddered in fear of the tone that Black had spoken.Daniel looked away from the door to Daphne and a known smirk plastered across his face.Jessica sucks her teeth and the corner of her eyes crinkled in mockery.“Who chose this dress?!” He growled with so much anger.The wedding dress being unique was tailor-made for his late wife, it was the exact wedding dress that Diane had worn on their wedding day but now it seems someone is messing with him by getting the exact copy for Daphne to try on.The female staff trembles under Black’s fiery gaze on everyone.“I’m so sorry Mr.Black, she said she liked the dress and we only helped her to fix the straps” one of the female staff who dressed her up said with a mixture of lies. Daphne could not believe what just happened and the fact that she was drawn to the wedding dress could not allow her to defend herself. The staff was the one that showed the wedding dress to her, if she hadn’t there’s no way for her to know that such
Daphne snapped at Daniel “What do you want?!” How badly she wanted to ask him why he came here but she is not going to give him the luxury of a friendly approach.Daniel sighed, he opened the door wide and asked her to go in first.Daphne wanted to turn back but she was feeling so thirsty at the moment and she won't let Daniel take away the little choices she's got left for herself.She rolled her eyes and matched towards the tabletop to place her order.“Give me the same thing please,” Daniel said.He then stretches his card forward to pay for Daphne’s order.“I'm not that poor Mr.Man! I can afford fee cents” Daphne said as she grabs her cup and paid for her order.Daniel paid for his as well and hurriedly chased her to the seat she chose.“Have you not had enough already? Is your girlfriend... Oops, your Fiance! Is she somewhere recording while you pick on me right now?” she said in a form of a question and Daniel opened his mouth to talk only to be shut down by Daphne’s continuous
He threw the phone to the nearby pile of books on the floor, fuming with anger. He could not believe what he just saw with his two eyes. It looks too real to be photoshopped.With dubious glances, he furrowed his brows and picked up the phone back.He dialed a number and said, “I want all details on her before noon tomorrow.” He ordered and a firm ‘Yes’ rang out from the other side of the phone.****NEXT MORNING****A continuous sound filled the whole of the well light up room, Daphne groaned as she shot out her hand from the duvet cover. Her hand slithered everywhere trying to find the location of the source of the noise and destroy it for good. Finally, her clutching arms grasp the mini alarm clock above her head. With her eyes closed, she shook the alarm clock repeatedly till the batteries popped out on their own.She heard a sharp sound on the ground but she didn’t bother to open her eyes.She had set the alarm the other night with the hope of preparing her children for school bu
After putting her aunt’s car on lock, she took careful steps toward the parking area to meet Black.She gripped her phone and car keys tightly in her hand, fear settled around her like air.She pulled open the car door and sat next to Black with thoughts swirling around her head.“Gosh, he was right here staring at me while I ignored his call! Is he a f**king serial killer? He warned me about the second ring gosh! Oh... Wait, why am I so scared of him? He doesn't care about how I feel too so why?! I owe him no respect or half of my emotions as it is. It is not a love marriage” she said in her mind, ready to counter any accusations that were coming for her.Black said nothing to her for 2 minutes straight then Kai excused himself by stepping out of the car. This made her chest heave up in fear of what this man would do to her. He had never asked Kai to excuse himself whenever he was scolding her but today he did.“What's he going to do to me? He's unpredictable and dangerous. Is he goi
Seeing the kids discussing from afar made Daphne more nervous, she snapped her head to Black and said “As you already know that I brought them up so they might call me ‘mommy’” she said rubbing her sweaty palms together with hitched breaths. “Oh and since you are here already please be nice to them. Whatever they say, do not take it seriously please” she explained and turned to go get the kids when they came running with joy “Daddyyyy”She was shocked— The four kids reduced their speed on getting to where Daphne stood with two other men.With a closer look at the strange man, they stood still in amusement. Their ocean blue eyes mirror the rich man’s eye color as well. Their hair and each little thing scream the striking resemblance between the quadruplet and Black William.“Young boy I know you,” Black said with his brows raised, the dispassion on just face disappearing. Noah flashed him a smile and then brings out a black card from his pocket, the black card given to him by Black “
~INSIDE~Daphne wanted to lock herself in but Black was fast enough to get hold of her.“Don’t tell me you believed that?” He asked. “What do you want me to believe? I saw and heard it well!” She cried out. “Shhh” Black caressed her hair and wiped her tears away trying to calm her down. “Cassandra is like a sister to me, I didn’t know she was harboring such thoughts in her mind all along I promise I had no idea” he explained. Daphne sobbed and she sat on the bed with her face buried in her palm. “Okay listen” Black decided to explain who Cassandra is and how she ended up in the family and it became clear to Daphne. She then decided to raise the issue with the pictures sent to her.The first thing Black did was to check the number and it tallied with the number Kai has been texting. Left with no choice, he explained everything that happened to him that night to Daphne. He went downstairs to pick up the mask to show her. She felt so bad for him and what he’s been through.“I’m…
Cassandra went inside hoping to talk to Black but she didn’t know where to start.She waited in front of his door contemplating whether she should go inside or not.But then the door came open to reveal Black with his car keys which means he was ready to leave as well.“Cassie? Do you need something?” He asked.Cassandra was caught off guard and she could not find the right word “No sir… congratulations about… everything” she stuttered.“Thanks” Black replied straight up and he left her on the scene.Cassandra bit her lips and clenched her fist.“Night would be better I guess,” she said to herself.~ON THE ROAD~Black received a call from Tyson about the tracking device moving out of the city range. He knew immediately that Arlo was running away.“Get him first, they’ve found out about the tracker and they are trying to hide their boss,” Black said.“Should we still get ready for tonight? He asked.“Yes, Kai will somehow lure their boss out,” he said.He’s planning to act according to
DANIEL’s MANSIONDaniel just arrived home with Jessica who doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. After visiting the family house in the morning, she’s been fuming and edgy. At the office, she could not concentrate on anything but Daniel didn’t react more to it.He still wanted his brother gone but he’s the silent devil no one prays to have a deal with.Starting from the fact that he used Daphne for his good, he’s using Jessica as well to achieve his aim when the only girl he sincerely loves is Cassandra.His mother despise her so much and was against him crushing on her back in the way.As she would always tell him “ She can’t do a thing to benefit your life! Do you want to make a union of an orphan and an illegitimate son born out of an affair? But Daniel never gave up, he was so in love with Cassandra.When he found out she liked Black instead, he went crazy and did lots of horrible things to her.She was the reason Daniel got kicked out with his mother back then.Just after driving i
Black opened the door for Daphne with a sarcastic bow and she chuckled loudly as she plopped into the car.Black waved his hands at his employees and passersby who joined in taking pictures as they move. After that, he entered the car and left the company with Daphne.Black was holding the steering wheel with one hand and the other hand on Daphne’s leg, rubbing the exposed part of her legs. Daphne gave him a quick kiss while driving and he smiled.“Why don’t you call her to prepare her mind?” Black suggested.“Oh right, silly me” Daphne tapped her forehead slightly.Just when they were about to pull up in front of Mrs. Hendrix's home, a message came in from an unknown number on Daphne’s phone. But because she was about to get busy, she swiped it away from the Notification Center hoping to check it later.She dropped her bouquet and stepped out when Black got the door for her.“I have always fantasized about this” Daphne said with a smile.“Oh, you mean having the service of the most g
THE VADOO GANG HIDEOUTArlo finally opened his eyes and he clutch his head in pain.One of the men watching him called for their boss immediately and she rushed over to attend to him with tears in her eyes.“Oh my goodness! I’m so happy you’re alive” she said as she caress his face.“Uh” Arlo groaned as he struggles to sit up.The young lady helped him sit up and he gave him a drug to use.“How did you find me?” He asked.“ I was going to kill everyone to rescue you out of that place but then we saw you being taken out,” she said.Arlo dropped his glass of water and nod his head “ I’m glad you didn’t attack, that bastard came around” he said.“Black?” The lady asked.“That bastard is a player! There’s nothing wrong with his face and he can walk perfectly!” Arlo explained as he punched the bed frame.The young lady was surprised, her eyes widened in shock when Arlo explained to her.“Hold on, I already know he can walk but his face? I see him every day and even with the mask on, I coul
Kai was able to locate Black’s whereabouts and he drove him home.When Kai wanted to stay, he refused and asked him to go to the kid’s school instead to keep watch on them.Black was unusually quiet, he’s the silent cold type but his ambiance looks way too quiet. He keeps thinking about the incident that happened last night.He almost believed that his dead wife came back to life but when he was losing consciousness, he heard conversations and that voice doesn’t sound like Diane, instead, it sounded somehow familiar.Diane’s lovable with her accent but last night, the woman who tricked him didn’t talk with him.He was doubting her features, to begin with, and now it’s clear to him that his enemy was playing tricks on him.The fact that they knew how badly Diane’s shadow would shake him made him so angry, he detest the feeling of being weak.Even though nothing was done to him last night, it hurt his pride and he decided to go crazy.“What insubordination!” He groaned with his eyes tig
Tyson spent all night looking for his boss, he was going crazy and flipping the city around to look for him.The lady he was chasing the other night turned out to be a random girl crying over heartbreak from her boyfriend and that was why she was driving so fast and didn’t stop.He had secretly followed her to her house and saw her parents receive her before he left.He regretted not being wary enough to sense that they were played.He won’t be able to forgive himself if anything happens to his boss.At one point, he decided to go home and look for him but he didn’t want to worry anyone, most especially the old lady.Left with no choice and the sun was already setting in, he went to the Williams Villa to check if he went home alone.On getting there, his heart dropped when he could not find his car and he quickly placed a call to Kai who was on leave according to their boss.When Kai heard what happened, he was so worried and heartbroken and he started looking for him as well.He went
The sexy-looking woman walked out with proud steps and entered her red car. Two black cars followed her immediately on a quest to save Arlo.She was ready to risk all it takes to enter the enemy’s territory and save her only best friend of 10 years.She mounted on the road at full speed, reckless driving and overtaking over cars, she would laugh out loud and make exclamatory remarks.After a few minutes, she arrived at the popular bar that belongs to the Williams but with an underground space that belongs to the Black Blood as their other identity.They pulled up in another street closer to the bar and the woman walked inside while her men stayed out in their car, ready to act on a slight call from their madam.The moment she stepped inside, the air in the room changed and she smiled widely at anyone that meets her glance. Her red dress started turning heads as she carries her curvaceous body to the counter to order a drink for herself.The bartender was at a loss for words when he sa
When Daniel got to the police station with his lawyer, they were told to wait for Jay who rat Jessica out to the police.In the meantime, Daniel went to have a discussion with Jessica who was looking so at ease and happy inside the cell.“I’m sorry I was busy when you called, I’m so sorry baby” Daniel apologized to her.Instead, she chuckled slightly as she stares at her nails lovingly “Oh see how lovely my nails are” she said.Daniel’s brows creased with the side of his face as he was surprised by the nonsense that Jessica was saying.He thought to himself if she has finally gone crazy.“Are you okay?” Daniel asked.“Of course!” She said with a smile.After she was done staring at her nails, her smile slipped when she looked up at Daniel.“If my dad didn’t call you so you wouldn’t do anything to save me, Daniel?!” She said with her eyes glaring at Daniel with so much anger.“No please don’t get me wrong, the lawyer is here with me… you will be out of here soon” Daniel said.“Don’t yo
