The Villa of the Williams household is very large and beautiful. The pathways are lined with pebbles and ancient-looking flower pots. Old lady Williams devoted her time to designing the house to taste ever since Black moved in to handle his father’s business.The buildings all have ancient roofing but the walls are made of shiny stones.The security lights add more beauty to the vast land of the villa at night.The lights in the mansions are always on except for the last mansion. At exactly 9:00 in the night, Black dismisses his guards and orders them to turn off the switch so that he could sleep.After the party, Black returned to his house and his dressing room. He changed out of his party clothes and wraps a towel around his waist.He draws out a box from his drawer which shows his masks of different colors and designs.Black removed the mask on his face and his full face came into view. He ruffled his gold hair and his lips compressed to a fine line.He pushed his wheelchair to th
He was called by one of his men about having information on the lady that messed with his drink that night. He could have gotten words out of her mouth but he was convinced already that Daniel planned everything and that Daphne was part of that plan. He is his stepbrother but overtaking is allowed in the bloody game of the family throne. Black returned to his VIP room where he stays alone until the need to show up for meetings arises. Every VIP room is full of girls who are ever willing to satisfy their clients, strippers, pole dancers, and all.They are in every VIP room except for his! They wouldn’t want to die untimely.He sat down in silence enjoying the low sensual music being played as he removed a stalk of cigarettes from the box on the table.He hadn’t dropped his lighter when a sexy-looking woman swayed her hips inside.Anger immediately crossed his eyes as he killed the cigarette light off in annoyance.“Did you see the body?” Black asked in a low voice.The woman didn’t st
When Daphne averted her gaze from Black’s murderous glare, Daniel had disappeared into thin air like he was never there.She never wanted to come across Black even in her nightmare but now she’s seeing him early in the morning and she just finished praising him for things she didn’t know of— well except for the bed praises.Black furrowed his brows and looked over at her with keen attention.“I seem to have forgotten everything that happened that night, perhaps the body should remember. What do you think?” Black said to her.Kai looked surprised from where he was standing, he knew his boss quite well enough and his hatred for women, the very presence of them inconvenient him not to talk of exchanging teasing chats with one.He knew of Black’s late wife and what caused him to change into a monster. The very thought of Daphne being an exception when he had punished his cousin made him slightly mad.Daphne stood transfixed for she was confused about the night that he might be talking abo
Chapter 15Daphne’s hands started shaking and her sweaty palm made her grip on the door weak. Jessica pushed the door and she let go, causing her to go inside by herself.“What do you mean by that Jessica?!” Daphne asked.“ Oh quit the act! You disappeared for five good years Daphne, five years! Only to return later as my boyfriend’s sister-in-law. You took your time to get back at him Daphne, how dare you?!” She yelled at Daphne.Daphne heaved a sigh of relief cause she had been scared when Jessica showed up out of the blue claiming that she knows the truth.Accusing her of these is better than finding out the real deal anyway.“ I don’t care about anything you think Jessica, you have no right to judge anyone,” Daphne said.The old woman that takes care of the house heard the crude conversation and came out to her rescue.“ Everything okay Ma’am?” She asked.“Everything is fine Mrs.Mimi I will soon be on my way as it is,” she said with a dismal wave of her hands.With her focus back
Later in the afternoon, Daphne slept off thinking about Jessica and the stone-hearted billionaire who would soon be her husband.Cracks of light filtered through the shutters, shimmering on her face and piercing into the darkness of her eyes.Stings!“Ah” She exclaimed squinting her eyes to adjust to the direct contact from the rays. She immediately regretted turning over to the window side and she twirled to the other side.When she realized that time was far spent, she jumped out of bed to grab her phone and the car keys her aunt gave to her.She hurriedly slipped into her shoes and left the house in a hurry, praying that the kids are still around the school and safe.She dialed a number as she drives and it was picked up on the second ring.Daphne called the number Aunt Leah gave to her in the morning but unfortunately, it was just the school driver’s number and not the kids’ teacher's.When the man answered the call, she asked to confirm if her kids were still around but she was t
Saving DaddyNoah walked up to a guard outside the big building.He continued staring as the man entered without no one to stop him.“There is a bad man inside the building, I saw him going in with a keg of diesel, “ Nosh said.“Wait what?” the guard asked surprised.“You need to stop him before it's too late sir,” Noah said.“Little kid, what do you know about bad men? How old are you?” he asked teasing him with a smile.“You are wasting time! Don't say I didn't warn you” Noah said.The guards underestimate him because he looks too young to be saying anything that's coming out of his mouth at the moment. His words are well constructed and he's oozing with confidence but he didn't want to believe that he wasn't here for a prank.“Where is your mother kid? Okay... Was the bad man wearing black? With black shoes?” he asked and Noah nodded his head in reply.“See? Everyone here wears black, it is corporate wear. Look around you” the guard said to Noah.Noah looked around and indeed he sa
With Noah leading the way, Kai saw what was about to happen and he stopped it. He wouldn’t allow him to go out anywhere without him at the moment.Even though the culprit was caught but they knew the man didn’t act on his own to come back again after 2 years. Kai stepped in front of Black and the officers did as well “I’m so sorry sir but you must talk to us directly” Noah stopped in his track and Black’s wheels stopped with a faint grinding sound. “Card,” he said to Kai who brings out his business card. “Here, give this to your mother and come to find me later for your gift,” Black said.He removed a pen from his pocket and signed on the card before giving it to Noah. After collecting the card, Noah smiled and watch as the man’s back disappeared into the other rooms.He hid the card in his pocket when he got out of the building and that was when two hands clutched his tiny arms immediately.Daphne bent to her level examining his body for wounds but she could not find any. Knowing
Noah could not get his mind off the name he heard from his brother.He watches his mother going out in a different dress, the dress looks beautifully made for her and he recognized it to be the type worn by rich women.He watched from the window with his siblings as Daphne left in Aunt Leah’s car and that was when it occurred to him where he had seen the name.“Ha ah! The company of Mr. Stone's face “ he said. The rest turned to look at him—“What are you talking about Noah?” Grace asked. Noah only went to his wardrobe to bring out the card given to him by the rich man.He thought to himself “If mommy is going to claim our rewards, then she needs the card” “Where did you get this Noah? It looks so fashionable” Darcie said and after examining it for a while, she said “It’s a business card” “Yes Darcie, I was given by the rich man I met yesterday” He explained. “Why do you still have it? You did not show it to mommy?” Grace asked. “ That was my mistake, I need to get it to her ASA
~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
