Armed men in suits kicked the door of the small bar opened and screams filled the air. On seeing heavily built men with guns and grave-looking expressions, customers scrambled to safety.The owner of the bar came out of one of the rooms and bowed her head in respect.“Room 10 by the right boss,” she said.Black mobilized his men immediately “I’m sorry for scaring your customers away Lady Mi” he apologized.“There wouldn’t be this bar talk much of customers without your help sir. This way, I will escort you” Lady Mi said.“No! You stay... do not ruin your business”Black said and then left her on the spot.With a known look, he cock his gun on the way as he strutted toward the door of the said room.He fired shots repeatedly at the doorknob and cries came from the other side.Tyson kicked open the door to see four girls trembling on the bare floor and this bald man struggling to get his gun from his jacket.Tyson shot at the space beside the jacket putting holes in the cheap jacket.Th
Black could not take the level of insult on his fine face so he let go of her and she hit her head on his hard body.“Ouch!” She cried out.And with a babyish look, she whined “Darcie thought it’s right to kiss all frogs but I told her it’s wrong, I’m happy to not be wrong!” Daphne said and scrunched her nose in annoyance.“You are a cursed prince as well but now you just ruined your chance of getting saved!” She said.“You are wasted,” Black said nodding his head to the pitiful drunkard beside him.“No, I’m not!” She said defensively.But then she yawned tiredly, she was dozing off again.With her careless movement, her body tilted and she almost hit her head on the table but Black was quick to catch her from falling.He hoisted her up into his arms and she rested her head on his shoulder, her breath on Black’s neck. The air around him was heavy with her scent.He inclined his head to take a look at her and for the first time, emotion crossed his face. He caressed her face with a co
He opened the door of the study room and turn on the light, his eyes swept across the room and with a tired sigh he walked slowly to the bookshelves.His long fingers trailed by the covers of each book as he walked past them. Halting, he removed a green-covered book from the piled-up ones and a secret door opened.He entered the room full of Diane’s pictures and his ammunition. Black opened his computer and clicked on a video that shows Diane and their baby boy, their happy moments in the house, and when his wife just gave birth. It was the happiest moment of his life before everything changed.They are gone now— he lost them to family war and greed. He plunged into his father’s business with how much he despised the lifestyle.Tears welled up in his eyes but he was quick to wipe them off.~Next MorningDaphne’s sleep was interrupted by a knock on the door. She seems to be enjoying her sleep on the king-sized bed. The comfort of the bed was different and heavenly, she felt nothing thr
Black returned to his work to check and sign the necessary documents before going to his other companies to check things out.He was flipping through the pages of a file when his phone started ringing.He picked it up and Jessica’s voice rang out “Brother-in-law, hope you are enjoying your day? I have collected all the wedding gowns you got angry over last time, now you won’t see any designs like that in any store anymore,” she said with buoyant spirit.“Good! Send everything to the mansion” he said simply.Still on call and waiting to be praised, She refused to hang up the call.“Thanks for your hard work, bye,” Black said and ended the call.~While driving home with the old lady, Daphne was at ease because the children won’t be home by this time of the day so there won’t be a need for any excuses.On getting to her home, she invited the old lady inside and she was happy with her kind gestures.Her aunt was astounded to see that Daphne invited the old lady by herself. They ventured
Daphne came out of the bathroom fully dressed and clean! She was still drying her hair though.“I will have your dirty clothes cleaned and send them over,” Daniel said.“Do you know my house? Don’t you dare! You can throw it out or package it for your fiancé as new, she wouldn’t know” Daphne said.“You now have an unfiltered mouth, Daphne. You were not like this” Daniel said.“Haha, you make me laugh Daniel, people being the cause of the change and still asking you why you changed! You are the main reason why we believe men are scum!” Daphne spat out without restraint.Daniel sighed and smiled “Take it all out on me Daph, I’m happy you are mad at me,” he said.“Don’t feel too good about yourself, this is just who I am now. I don’t strike from behind like the snake you both are!” Daphne said and turned to leave when his hand grabbed her wrist hence pulling her back.“You don’t want answers?” Daniel asked her.“I heard everything that day loud and clear, it’s not worth it to listen to m
Daniel’s car came to a halt in front of his mother’s home and he stepped out of the car with Jessica.She smiled at her loving partner as she holds her shoulder high thrilled with the fact that her mother-in-law has no choice but to like her now.Unlike before when she was against her relationship with her son because she got nothing to offer or help Daniel with but after she went home and settled the fight with her dad, she started living the life of a rich princess again.“Have you carried mother’s gift?” Jessica asked with a smile.Daniel replied with a head nod and waved the package up for her to see.After that, they went inside the mansion. They happened to meet Lady Rose having her breakfast and she invited them to join her.It was going peacefully with Lady Rose going through her phone and eating at the same time.Suddenly, she dropped the phone in anger and her face shifted into one overridden with jealousy.In concern, Jessica decided to inquire at once “ Is everything okay
As traditions of the household, the bride and the groom must not see each other few days before the wedding and so the old lady arranged a room for Daphne at her side of the Villa. Away from the west wing where Black resides.She knew what was coming and she was ready for the Old lady of the house with whatever lecture she had for her.Early in the morning, the old lady would wake her up to drink a medicinal herb and fertility tea in preparation for the wedding. In the afternoon, she would ride with the Old lady to the spa to take care of her skin and at night they would talk for hours.Daphne didn't set eyes on Black for two days since she had arrived at the house.A day to the wedding, night time ~After having her late-night snacks with the old lady, she was returning to her room when she saw the light in Black’s mansion go off. The entire building and the area went dark.She was told the lights are always off whenever he retires to sleep. She also remembered to have seen the maid
As the powerful family, they are, the entire area was heavily guarded. Black on the other hand had called Tyson into work on the low without anyone finding out who he is, along with his other men.The outside was bustling with reporters who were ready to latch on to the slightest topic of the day.When he arrived in his car, the murmurings ceased for a while, causing everyone to await the presence of his magnificent aura.Despite being in a wheelchair, he looked divine and powerful.Flashes from cameras defended upon him all of a sudden that he had to look away and do with just waving his hand to him.The bride arrived a few minutes before Black but they had used the secret entrance so they won’t be cornered by buzzing reporters. Black made the entrance on purpose I guess.Inside, he was immediately received by his mother and together they stood by the second entrance that leads to the main venue of the wedding to welcome guests and receive gifts.Influential people came for the weddi
~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
