Daphne wanted to tell the truth, not to everyone first but to Black. She wanted to confess but not this way.Tears trickled down her cheeks as they dragged her away dressed in nothing but her bathrobe and slippers. The men forced her to enter a van before driving away. Nothing can measure Lady Rose’s happiness at the moment, she’s looking so energetic and satisfied likewise Jessica. Jessica walked to Lady Rose with a smile to remind her of her promise.“I don’t go back on my words, you just proved to me that you’re capable so you can talk to him about the wedding plans,” Lady Rose said. Jessica squealed in excitement as she catwalks herself back to Daniel’s side. “I’ve called the family doctor, you all should make sure mother is okay” Lady Rose ordered. She then looked towards Black’s building, she wanted to start throwing Daphne’s stuff away immediately but she didn’t want to be too forward, she wants to enjoy Black ending everything on his own. “Why is everywhere dark over the
Lady Rose’s brows drew together in confusion when Tyson hands down a gun in Black’s palm, she let out a shaky breath as she stepped back vehemently.“Why do you have a gun?” She asked in a fervid manner.Daniel too was surprised and Cassandra stepped back so far away from everyone. She bowed slightly and turned around to excuse herself— it’s what every maid is expected to do, to turn away from family drama.“Big brother! My mother has done you so much good and now you are pointing a gun to her face?” Daniel yelled in anger.“Shut it up Dan” Black said as he shut his eyes slightly for a while with his fine fingers drawing a circle on the side of his face.“I’m asking you respectfully Lady Rose, where is my wife?” He asked again, his eyes opened in a fierce manner that scared everyone on the scene.Lady Rose was particularly surprised that Black called her so informally at this point and she grip her cloth tight in anger.Jessica who has been searching for Daniel all along arrived at t
Immediately after Tyson called his boys to hurry up with the tracking, they received news that they’d found the men’s hideout.Tyson controlled the wheel like a racer and he ordered everyone to come into town, to spread out the area to start searching for Daphne. When Black saw sighted an approaching figure in the dark, Tyson stepped hard on the accelerator and turn on the full light to get a clearer view of the figure. Black was so much relieved to find Daphne running towards their path, his heartbeat increased and he could just jump out through the window the receive her into his arms. Just then, they noticed the men chasing her with dangerous weapons, and this annoyed Black to the peak of his tolerance.“Great!” He uttered with a smirk. Tyson wasted no time in directing the rest of the cars to have them surrounded and after their successful trap in, he stopped the car. Seeing Daphne in that position hurts Black to the bones, to see her covered in dirt and bruises makes his insi
Jay was too scared to go to his house and he's been walking through the night running like a fugitive.4:00 in the morning, he made up his mind to risk going to his apartment but he disguised himself as a different person to avoid getting attention.He searched the corridor before bringing out his key under a flower pot and he scurried inside.Jay went to his wardrobe straight to where he kept his other phones.He turned on one of the phones and dialed Jessica’s number immediately, his breathing shaking and body trembling as well.Biting hard on his nails praying Jessica picks up the phone but she didn't.“Fuck this!” he yelled in anger and kicked the wardrobe.“I can't go down alone... I need enough money to lay low for now” he muttered and dialed the number again.This time around, Jessica picked up and groaned in frustration. She was still in bed with Daniel so seeing the call, she quickly picked it up and excused herself from the bedroom.“Why are you calling so early in the morni
The old lady stared at Black and Daphne in disbelief as she demanded answers from them.“I know this might come as a surprise to you all but I trust you to believe me… believe your grandson. Some few years back, I met Daphne in a complicated situation and we kind of had the best night of our lives” he said with a straight face as if everything coming out of his mouth is expected to sound normal— he’s the only one taking it the easy way.“Well because it was a one-night thing, she left the city not realizing that she was pregnant but now she’s back and I’m ready to accept her with open arms so I want you all to do the same” Black said.“Are you telling me now that this woman right here carried your babies and delivered four of them?” Old Lady William asked still in disbelief.“Yes, grandmother,” Black said.“This is unacceptable to me! Why didn’t she tell you about the kids even when you got married to her? She came as a stranger to scam you” Lady Rose said in protest.Daphne’s brows s
When Daphne screamed in pain, Black’s face went on her immediately in concern “Come here, let me see that” he said.Realization of what happened dawned on Cassandra only when Daphne let out a short scream and in shock, the tea jug slipped off her hand and shattered into pieces on the floor.“Oh my God,” Daphne gasped with her eyes shut in fear.Cassandra raised her hands over her mouth totally regretting her action and she hurriedly went to get an ice pack from the fridge.“I'm so sorry ma'am, I'm so sorry” she started crying and shivering trying to place an ice pack on the red spot on Daphne’s hand but Black stared her down.“Get the hell out of here Cassandra” Black said glaring at her with so much anger, he snatched the ice pack from her and threw it on the floor “You don’t use ice on scalds” he yelled at Casandra.Then pulled Daphne closer to him, his eyes full of care and love for her.Cassandra let out shaky breaths as she moved back slowly and in tears “I'm so sorry” she apolog
After the kids allowed Black into the house, they started bombarding him with a series of questions that he almost couldn’t catch up with and it was freaking him out but making him happy at the same time. “When did you and mommy first meet?” Darcie asked.“Have you forgiven mommy?” Noah added.“Can we continue to call you daddy?” Carl asked with his puppy eyes.“Are you as happy as we are to meet you?” Gracie asked holding his hand tighter.Black looked down at his kids with their eyes glittering with excitement and curiosity.He sighed and he ruffled Noah’s hair playfully “I know it might not be easy to get along that fast but I promise to protect and love you guys,” Black said with a reassuring smile but with a little coldness on his face.Black’s eyes drifted from the kids to Daphne who has nothing but a wide smile on her face, then she noticed the other important person in the room.“Oh my… my bad Mrs.Hendrix. Good afternoon to you” He greeted.Mrs.Hendrix smiled warmly at him an
PS: This chapter is rated 18+ Black helped Daphne get off the table carefully and he lead the way into the secret room.He switched off the red light and it changed to white light which brightened the room.Instantly, Daphne’s face landed on Diane’s pictures which are everywhere on the wall.“I’ve been wanting to call your attention to something Black,” Daphne said with a short breath.Black turned slowly to look up at her and he gave a head nod for her to go ahead.“Yeah right… you’ve been trying to tell me something” He said.Daphne looked away from Black and pointed at the pictures on the wall “That woman… I remember meeting her at the restaurant the day I was attacked. She had walked up to me in the bathroom and she said some strange words to me” Daphne explained.Black was surprised, his brows raised in confusion and he let go of his grip on Daphne immediately.“That can’t be possible… that is Diane, my late wife,” Black said with a dejected look.“Dead? But I’m pretty sure she
~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
