The red dot appeared on her head, hovering around her forehead and her eyes but when Black looked up in her direction, the red dot disappeared into nowhere and Daphne settled in her seat. They are being watched.“I’m sorry, she said it was urgent” She explained to Black who has started eating his bit-sized risotto already.“Oh I see you didn’t wait for me,” she said teasingly.“Took you longer than expected” Black replied with his unbothered look.Daphne picked up her fork to start eating as well, their conversation can wait. It seems it’s going to be a long conversation anyway since she’s got questions to ask him about Kai going to the Kid’s school.While eating, Daphne could not stop thinking about the woman’s face and what she said to her. She tried so hard to remember her but it was all hazy.When they were done, the waitress came over to clear their table and then hand over Black’s overcoat.His bodyguard soon came with the Wheelchair and he moved into it on his own.Daphne rais
The night air suddenly became chilly for Daphne, she shuddered even with Black’s Overcoat now on her. The car came to a stop in front of the West Mansion and the driver hurriedly open the door for both of them.The Lady of the house who has been waiting for them showed up where they can easily spot her. She smiled so heartily seeing them together, very satisfied that Black took Daphne out on a night date.“Oh welcome my Prince and his sweetheart,” Lady William said with joy as she strode towards them with her hands stretched forward to hug Daphne.Daphne who was unfeeling at the moment managed to consider the possibility of how Black doesn’t want his grandmother to get worried. She sighed and adjusted the overcoat hence using the chance to quickly glance at Black.She saw his sorry face, this might be the first time she was going to see him so worried.Black slightly nods his head with a pleading face for her to remain calm on the matter.Her face creased in disbelief, perhaps she was
Black arrived home around 2 in the morning and he dismissed Tyson immediately. When he entered, he was expecting to see the house messed up and bottles of his favorite wine lying empty on the floor because that’s what Daphne does anytime she’s annoyed.To his surprise, he met Daphne sleeping soundly on the bed. Black went to his study room first to return his bag and then back to the bedroom.He joined Daphne in bed, his eyes fixated on her staring at her so deeply and worried. He raised his hand hoping to straighten the lines between her brows but he didn’t want to wake her up. Even though she’s sleeping so soundly, she seems to be thinking in her sleep.Black pulled up the duvet cover on her body carefully and he switched off the side lamp.~Morning~In the early morning of the day, two maids from the old lady’s mansion arrived at Black’s mansion with two moving racks of formal clothes, they were asked to help Daphne choose the best outfit for the day as she would be visiting all th
Daphne was hoping to say her greetings lovingly with a smile but when they gave her a different look, her smile slipped and she furrowed her left brow in surprise.In reply to Lady Rose’s question, Old lady William pats Daphne’s back as she struts forward with her.“That doesn’t sound like a greeting Rose,” The old lady said.She was caught off guard in hatred and she bats her lashes repeatedly to hide her embarrassment. She said her greetings and likewise Jessica.“Well as this should be your job to take new wives of the family on tour and help her with things she needs to know but since you’re busy like you claimed, I’m here to do that” The old lady explained.“I’m sorry mother,” she said then switched to a pretentious smile to address Daphne “I’m so sorry my dear, I’ve been busy working on Winter fashion ideas,” she said with strained prudence.“And that’s just what I was thinking about, you know a fresh and young mind should be able to handle this better? There’s always a differen
Daphne made a call to her grandmother and she picked up on the second ring.“Yes sweetheart I'm trying to find a truck to move it loads to the new house,” Her grandmother said from the other end of the call.“You came so early? Okay grandma, I will try to arrange for a car from my side here it will be faster and you don't know anywhere in the city” Daphne said.“I'll be waiting my dear”Right after she ended the call, she placed a call to Sam, the driver that was supposed to come to pick her up. She came up with an excuse and asked Sam to hold on for her and that she will call once she was done.~THE WILLIAMSBlack was fully dressed for the day when he received a call from Kai.“Talk” he ordered.“Mrs.Hendrix has arrived in the city today and I'm sure your wife Is going there to visit. I have the address with me boss” Kai reported.“Noted... “ he said so quickly but he didn't end the call.Kai knows his boss so well to suspect that he still has something to say. The typical Black woul
Black’s car came to a screeching halt in front of a big building, the harshness of the scorching sun twinkling on the neat black car as Tyson stepped out to get the door for Black William.After branching into his various companies and short meetings, he changed his dress into a more comfy but luxurious manner at the same time. Tyson went to the trunk to get his trouble backpack. He rub the folded Wheelchair as he pulled out the bag comfortably.Then they headed towards the building with Tyson walking behind the mighty Black.On getting to the big tall door, security scanned Black’s retina before it opened up. The moment he came through the door, everyone rushed out from different rooms to pay their respect.Black stopped in his tracks, his fine legs standing tall and his hand inside his pocket. His eyes swept across the room to examine everyone present. His icy face sent off chills in the hall.“Where is he?” He asked.“This way boss” Tyson answered and lead the way into the tortur
The air around Daphne and her kids was chilly and quiet. She’s putting the kids in suspense and when she saw that they could tear up any minute from now, she dips her small spoon into the ice cream to taste.She gestured for her kids to do the same and they licked their ice cream in a shrugging manner.Daphne cleared her throat and heaved out a heavy sigh “So I want to start this speech with an apology...” she was saying this when Noah cuts in “Is daddy alive?” He said.Daphne’s eyes widened in shock and her mouth wide open “Noah! I mean yes he’s alive. Why would you say that?” She asked with a confused look.“The thing is... we talked to one of our classmates today called Fred. Other kids bully him because he doesn’t have a daddy and he found out late just like us” Carl explained.“No! Your daddy is alive, he’s so safe and sound he is the richest daddy in the entire city” Daphne said with an exaggerated expression and movement of her hands.“Wow really? He’s so rich to sponsor my mod
THE GREEN HOUSEDaphne and her kids arrived at the new house given to her grandma. She stopped the car and removed the seat belt before going to open the car door for her kids.They raced to the door in happiness as they started knocking for their great-grandma to open up.The door came open to reveal Mrs. Hendrix with a broad smile and the quadruplets ran into her embrace.“Oh, my super babies,” Mrs. Hendrix said kissing four of them playfully.They in turn gave a kiss on their great-grandmother’s cheeks showing how delighted they are to see her again and for the fact that they have to start living together.“Let’s go inside my adorable babies” Mrs. Hendrix ushered the kids inside and Daphne followed with their school bags in her hands. ************Jessica left the office to go home after copying the anonymous number from Daniel’s phone.She sent a text message asking for a chance to work with the anonymous enemy of the Williams.On getting home, she removed her shoes
~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
