Daphne’s vision was blurry at first to picture the shape of the weapon stretched to her face until she hears a dangerous not good to say— familiar sound of a gun. She scrambles out of bed to a corner with the bedspread covering her nakedness.
She cried in pain when her soreness kicks in.“Who are you? What have you done to me? What are you doing in my boyfriend’s room?!” She rushed the questions in pain, searching the room for anything to defend herself.
The man in the mask let out a throaty laugh and then placed his hand on the trigger “Do I look like a joke?! Who do you work for?!” He asked in a threatening but calm voice which makes this man even more dangerous. He sounds to be experienced in everything bad he does.
He retained thick golden hair and an elegant face. Through his loose bathrobe, one could vaguely see his sexy and strong chest muscles that hold his tattoos.
The mask covers half of his face leaving only his fine thin lips which are pressed in a straight line. He used the mask before Daphne woke up, he must be an important person.
His eyes sparked with anger when he saw the blood-stained sheet on the bed. He drew his lower lips between his teeth— “You were so desperate to fake this as well?” He said.
That was when Daphne realized where the pain was coming from, she has lost her virginity to a stranger last night. All she remembered was her pressed under him and his violent thrust last night.
She stood transfixed with eyes brimming with tears.
She clutch her head with both of her hands “Why was I drunk? I didn’t drink much “ she thought.
Then her phone chimed with a notification. She hurriedly grabbed it with shaky hands as the man was still in front of her.
“How was your night with the pimp Daphne? He he” she read the text that Jessica sent followed by another one from Daniel’s phone.“Thats the big surprise Miss Virgin” she read.
Her heart sank to the far bottom when she realized what just happened. She was set up with this hot-looking pimp and now they asked him to kill her?!
The man in the mask seems to be in his own dilemma as he clutches his head tight and groaned in pain. A headache hit him out of nowhere. The drug effect was still there.
“You must be receiving huge pay for ruining my life! Can’t you let me live? It's unfair to die like this. I promise never to show my face in front of you again” Daphne pleaded.
She starts to pack her things when the man was distracted.“My boyfriend’s name is Daniel William, kill him for me I will pay you” she cried as she went through her purse hurriedly. She brings out a $100 note then toss it to the man.
“What do you think you're doing?” He asked with a groan.
Daphne slipped her dress on and picked up her heels “You were not even that good, you went all hard on me last night! You're the worst pimp ever!” she cried.
The man in mask takes more steps forward and her small frame appears so tiny to his huge ones almost swallowing her up.
She threw her pearl necklace in fear “You can take this too please” she cried shutting her eyes tight.
She was about to make a run for it when the man grabbed her.
She screamed and hit him with the pointed sole of her heels.“Fuck!” he groaned and released his grip on her.Daphne ran away from the hotel room.
~~~~~~
Daphne cried all the way home, she checked her purse and saw that she didn't have much to take her to Daniel’s place and her home.She sniffs in her tears and snorts “I will destroy you Daniel!” she said then flag down a taxi to take her home.On getting to the apartment she shares with Jessica, she was too tired to mind the door that was left open.
She crawled her way into her room and then to the bathroom.She let the hot water scald her tender skin as she scrubs her body harshly. She feels disgusted to have slept with a pimp! She feels stupid not to see Jessica’s betrayal coming. She didn't know who to blame and why, she chose to cry it out.A few minutes later, she put on a short and oversized shirt looking so sick and raucous.
She picked up her phone to try Daniel’s number to curse at him but she could hear it ringing so close.
She traced the sound to Jessica’s room.She took tentative steps towards the room and her palms sweaty and trembling.
“That was smart of you Jessica, now she won't be an obstacle to us anymore!” a man’s voice speaks from inside.
“I love you so much Daniel, much more than that proud princess! Once the pimp sends me her pictures, I will spread it all over the internet” she said with a laugh.
“Poor girl, we used her for four years and now I've gotten the shares from the family thanks to her funds throughout the years,” Daniel said.
“Are you feeling bad for her? Serves her right for not knowing how to keep a man. She's a low-key prostitute trust me” Jessica said whining.
Hearing this from them, Daphne’s phone dropped from her hand and when they heard the sound, they stopped talking.
Daphne trembles with great fear. She picked up her phone and turned around to run as far away as possible from them!Without taking anything, she ran out of the house barefooted.—At the Hotel—
An average-looking man is seen standing in front of the masked man with honey tea and a slice of lemon dipped into the cup.The man is Black William, the 3rd richest billionaire in the top 10 in the entire states.
He is powerful, divine, and reserved. But under the reserved gentleman lies another side of him that he indicated with his mask on.He is the rawest of the term cold-hearted, and merciless. He takes his business seriously but no one has ever seen his face.
He walks around in his black mask and rumor has it that he must be an ugly-looking man.As it is, it's mostly impossible to have it all. He was involved in a fire accident years back in which he lost his wife and newborn baby. Since then, he started using the mask.
“Here is the antidote Mr.Black,” he said stretching it forward to him.
He took a sip from the cup but he smashed the rest on the wall.
It jerked the man to his alarmed state as he went on his knees pleading greatly “Forgive me for being careless Mr.Black. I didn't know the Vadoo gang came to the hotel last night” he pleaded.“You think that can solve for whatever humiliation I went through today?! Here!” he said showing him his bruised arm that Daphne attacked with her heels.
“No! Not Vadoo gang. They sent a chick yesterday but I killed her immediately and sent her body back wrapped in a gift box. They wouldn't risk another life” He said playing with the ring on his finger like a scheming predator.
“Search for any Daniel William that lodged in my hotel last night “ He ordered.
The man named Kai froze in place and could not say a word further.
“What are you still doing here?” he asked in rage.“The only Daniel William that booked room 306 last night was your stepbrother sir but he didn't stay the night” He explained.
“He is back?” he asked.
“Get me a new suit, it's time to go home,” he said.“Yes Mr.Black” he replied then left the room.The Williams family is at war for every grown male. Ever since Marwood Williams, the head of the house died without sharing his will. Black was smart and being the favorite son, he was given 80% of the wills while the remaining 20% was shared by the rest. With this, they loathed him to the core.Daniel William was nowhere near competing with him four years ago but he heard rumors of his success in getting more funds to expand his business and now he's also on his blacklist of enemies to contend with.Black is a very smart, sick, and tyrannical player. Ever since the incident 3 years ago, he never took off his mask and he faked a report that he couldn't walk.He goes to the office in a mask and in a wheelchair. Not every day, just to check some important things and development still his enemies wouldn't stop coming for him.The hotel belongs to him and he stayed on the off-limit floor last
It's been two weeks since she got to her grandma’s place and she's been helping her manage her strawberry farm.Being the prettiest in the small town, they favored and loved her so she was able to raise money out of the thousands of dollars needed.One day, she was peeling apples for her grandmother at the hospital when she retches. “Are you okay sweetheart?” her grandmother asked weakly.“Yes grandma, it must be indigestion,” She said.But then nausea came again and she rushed to the bathroom to vomit so bad.After cleaning her mouth, she grew so weak and fainted.Her grandma panicked and called the attention of the nurses.A few minutes later, she woke up in a separate room and her grandma sitting beside her but she was also with her drip stand.On seeing her grandma, she jerked up from the bed “You shouldn’t be moving around Grandma” she said.The doctor then came in with a file and smiled at her.“Big Congratulations to you Miss, you are two weeks pregnant,” he said to her.She w
Daphne heaved a heavy sigh as the train stops in Hawkins.Memories of her life here came rushing at her at once and she’s fighting so hard to push back her tears.Once they make it to the large road, she could flag down a taxi to convey her children to her aunt's home.They were not the talking type ever since she lost her parents in a car accident. They offered to take her in then but because her aunt and her husband are very tricky and greedy people, she refused to live with themIt’s quite unfortunate, she is got no other alternative than to stay with them for a while.After safely getting her quad to a safe place from prying eyes that finds her kids amusing, she quickly flagged down a taxi.Her loads were too much and could not fit in properly so the taxi left.Two more left because of the luggage and she was getting worried.She went back to her kids and made sure they sat together, each of them on each of the pieces of luggage. She then went to the main road to reason with other
Daphne watch carefully when a man alighted from the driver's seat and gave her a pitiful look.The average-looking man went to bring out a wheelchair.Daphne bends to pick the last paper from her file nonchalantly and when she lifted her face, she saw a man seated in the wheelchair with a mask on his face.Her heart raced to the powerful aura the man was imposing on her and everyone around her.Daphne’s eyes were searching and unstable when she noticed people taking pictures and murmuring.“Is he a celebrity or what? Anyway, it doesn't erase his ugly behavior” she thought boldly to herself but thenShe was getting uneasy and scared, she just needed to cross the road and would be in the big company she was going to.From the mask, Daphne knew the man looks infuriated and scary. “Did he come down for me? Oh no! I can’t be late!” she thought inside and clasp her files tightly awaiting whatever the man have to say as the silence alone was eating her up.“Carry this careless woman away fro
The car was brought to a halt in front of an old abandoned factory.Daphne turns to face her children “Stay calm okay? Mommy will protect you guys no matter what!” She said to the kids and they replied with head nods.One of the men got the door for her and when she was out, he closed the door on the children.“What do you think you are doing? I want the kids with me! Let go of me” she said struggling to go back to the car but she was stopped and forced to enter the factory.She was immediately strapped to a chair and they all excused the moment a man was wheeled inside.She recognized them as those she encountered in the day... especially the fact that the masked man must have recognized her also.Kai left his boss with the woman and smirked at her as if telling her indirectly to prepare to die.Daphne watched as the masked man stands up from the wheelchair. He’s looking so dangerous yet handsome under the dim light of the factory.“Daphne Hendrix is your boyfriend Daniel Williams?!”
Old lady William sips from her mug and replies calmly “Black is a very smart and sensitive man, it would be a great crime to send a woman into his bed, it will only worsen the situation” she explained.Daphne heaved a sigh of relief and the uneasiness groping at her heart faded away.The atmosphere turned dead silent as if Daphne’s guardian were disappointed by the old lady’s idea but then Mr. Jeffery came loud breaking through the silence of the night.“What a thoughtful idea ma’am,” he said.“You should come with her tomorrow night, it is a special day for the household tomorrow, and would be a great time to introduce her to everyone,” Lady William said.“Oh right!” Leah slaps her husband’s thigh playfully.“It is the honorable madam’s birthday tomorrow” she announced.Daphne flashed a soft smile and wished her properly by pouring her yet another cup from the teapot.“I wish you a long healthy life ma’am,” she said.“What a very reserved-looking lady! Thank you, Daphne... I can’t wa
Daphne’s heart was unsettled and her palms are becoming sweaty. Her last encounters with this man flashed through her head like a trailer for a horror movie.“Oh my dear grandson, welcome” Old Lady Williams said with smiles and the well-wishers clapped to welcome Black William into the hall.Daphne took steps behind as Kai pushed his wheelchair forward to where she saw him standing with the old lady of the house.“Happy Birthday to you grandma,” he said with a faint smile.Old lady Williams bent slightly to plant a kiss on both of his cheeks.Daniel squeezed his wine glass in anger, not just him but his mother hates the attention he's always getting from the old woman.“Today being a very happy day for me, I'm pleased to announce to you all that I have found a beautiful and decent bride for my grandson” she announced.At that moment, Daphne could not face Black, the hairs on her body sparked up when her name was mentioned. Fear was clearly written on her face.She wanted to run away b
Black’s eyes swept across the room, his cold eyes roofed with dark shadows imposing the dangerous aura he wanted on the two figures standing in front of him. He glanced over to Kai and he gave a head nod to show he understood his words.Daniel knew he was in for trouble and he started pleading for his life.“I am so sorry big brother, it was a misunderstanding,” he said. “Being in the lady's restroom doesn’t look like a misunderstanding Daniel” he said with a straight look, his eyes studying Daphne from head to toe. Seeing Daphne almost passing out on a spot, he ordered Kai to stop.“Next time you touch a strand of hair on her, I will cut off your hand” he threatened in a deep rough voice. “It’s Grandma’s birthday, I don’t want to be bloody” he added. Daniel scurried off at once. Black saw how scared Daphne was, his lips pursed into a thin line but his brows moved with interest.“If you run, I will hunt you down,” he said to her. After saying that to her, he left with Kai. Daph
~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
