He could hear and see his friends' amusement as they walked around the mansion. On the way, he met one of Violet's personal maids, who told him that the guests should go to the dining room, while he should go to her office and look for her.
"Guys, follow her to the dining hall; I'll be there in a moment," he said as he set Leah down, “would you mind entertaining my friends for me, Leah?'
"Sure, I'll do it."
"All right, later."
He said goodbye to his friends, walked over to her office, and knocked on her door.
"Come in," she said.
He walked into the office and noticed her sitting in her chair.
"Would you please come here?"
"Of course, ma'am."
He walked over to her and sat down at her desk.
"Please tell me what you need."
"Give me a kiss and I'll accompany you to dinner with your friends."
He didn't need to be told twice; he leaned in closer, shifted her chin, and smashed her lips with his.
"You'll have to earn that little girl, but you're all welcome as long as your family doesn't show up at my door. That irritates me." "I swear to you. Dylan's aren't the same as mine." "One day, I'll teach them a lesson." "Are you sure you can do that?" "We'll see. It's becoming late. How about you invite your friends?" "All right, I'll do it." Laura exited the room and returned a few minutes later with the boys. "I enjoy having you here, but it's time for you to go. Let's get together for a weekend or something like that next time." "It was nice to be here. We'll see you again later." Dylan walked over to where she was sitting and lightly kissed her on the cheeks. "I'll contact you later." “Okay. Take good care of yourself." “We will.” She crouched as the four friends left her lounge, and when they were out of the mansion. "Ma'am, are you all right?" "Take me back
"Hey babes, it's great to hear from you. Are you all right?" He couldn't stop himself from asking her questions. "I need you to come over here right away!" she yelled over the phone. "Did something happen to you, baby?" "You did it. Simply gather your belongings, leave your friend's house, and come to the mansion." "How did you do that?" "Have you forgotten who you're dealing with? Tell your friend to drive you," she said as she hung up the phone. “Wow!” "Was that you, Violet?" "Yes, it is she. What did she want you to look like you'd been hit?" "I'm not sure how she does it, but she knows what happened and wants you to take me to her mansion right now." “Wow. That's unsettling, but I like her. She is concerned about what happens to you. Let's go, I don't want to get on her bad side." "Believe me. You certainly wouldn't." He grabbed his belongings and the two of them left the apartment. O
"I will be the judge, and if that friend of yours breaks my daughter's heart, I will slowly and painfully kill him. That is a guarantee.""I'll remember that, ma'am."“That's my boy. Why don't we go back inside? I have something to tell you all.""Why don't you just tell me?""No, I'm not going to pick favorites," she said, and he smiled. She wasn't budging at all."Since we've finished with your hands, let's go inside," he said, leading her inside.They went straight to the lounge where Anne and Taylor were having a good time. They were laughing so hard that Violet came to a halt and looked at them so intently that he cleared his throat to get their attention."Mother, you arrived!""Yes, darling, I did. I can tell you two are having a good time.""He's just a lot of fun to be around.""All right, then. I'll say what I want to say, and then you'll go pick up Leah from school. Taylor is welcome to accompany
“Look who is here? What is my lovely baby sister doing all the way here?""I came to take a look at your place and at you. Oh, my goodness, you're in there!""Yes, how about you come over here and sit while Mary prepares the place?""Sure," she said as she approached her."How are you doing?" she inquired."I'm fine; I just missed you.""I'm with you, cupcakes. So, what exactly is going on here? I see a lot of petals and smell some herbs.""It's just something I do once in a while to keep myself healthy or something, and I can't stop halfway.""Will it be harmful to your health?""That's why we're going to catch up in here today?”“I'm hoping my brother understands.""If he doesn't like it, he should leave and come back when I'm not doing this.""It's no surprise he always says you're stubborn.""Leave him alone; he has his own life, just as I do."Mary returned with t
Dylan had been staring at it for about thirty minutes without moving an inch."Mr. Dark, you seem to like this one?" asked the familiar old man, and he snapped back."What exactly did you say? Sorry for not paying attention.""I can tell you. Who is the lucky lady?""She's a woman I love. Is this the only ring you have?”"It's a one-of-a-kind piece made of five different gemstones and one pricey metal.""It's obvious.""Would you like me to wrap it up for you?""It's complicated right now, but if it's possible, I wouldn't mind if you saved it for me.""If it's for you, I can make a deal and have the size changed.""Why are you going to change the size?""Violet has small fingers; if you just take it as is, it will be too big for her.""How did you find out?""I'd be a fool not to notice, Mr. Dark. Remember when you bought that set the last time? I recognized it the next day when I saw Vi
She didn't sit around waiting for someone to assist her with the door. She opened the door and, thankfully, found them seated in the lounge, drinking green tea as if everything was fine."How can you be a heartless person? You sit here and drink tea I bought you as if everything is fine after dropping such a huge grenade in my face?""Violet!" yelled her father."All right, all right. I can now hear your voice, Father. I can't remember how it sounded. I assumed you were no longer speaking, but it turned out you were simply uninterested in speaking with me. Can you explain why you did this?""We're sick of people looking at us as if we're a freaky family.""Did you just say freaks, Mother? All you see in front of you is a freak?""You don't have to blame us, Samantha; just look at you. You changed your name after that incident, you didn't even graduate from high school, and to make matters worse, you had the audacity to accuse Martin of doing
“Honey!”"All right, all right! I'm going to stop talking about it."She couldn't stand listening any longer, so she went to Qontessah's house and trained until she was exhausted and couldn't walk properly. They began to be nice to her after that incident, so she pushed the conversation from her mind. That would be a lie, she reasoned to herself. It's impossible not to be their daughter after the way they've treated her all these years. She wouldn't have been so hurt if she had known it was all true. Lucy was born after another four years of waiting. This was a joyous occasion for everyone, including her, but due to the birth of her former younger siblings, her parents became even more estranged from her.It was as if she didn't exist, and coincidentally, her hair turned white during those years, as did the peach blossom tattoo. She learned to defend herself and fend for herself thanks
"Are you certain? We are guests here.”"I don't mind. You must share the bed with me starting today, and you are not permitted to sleep anywhere else."“But........”"There are no buts unless you don't love and want me, in which case you can leave. I'm not going to force you," she said, jerking his hand away from her shoulders. She was upset, but not with him. She got to her bed and was about to open her silk covers when he stopped her."I love you Violet more than anything else. So please don't be angry with me. I promised you that no matter what happened, I would never abandon you now or in the future."She knew he meant every word he said when she looked deep down his eyes."I'll prove it to you every day, babes," Dylan promised.Dylan sat down on the bed and drew her between his knees, causing her to stand in front of him. Watching her face, he slowly lifted her nightgown and kissed her flat stomach, taking his t
HIS LITTLE BRIDEPROLOGUEShe couldn’t believe what she was hearing at the moment. Was this some kind of joke or what? One thing was for certain though, this man never joked. She had known him for a month and she had never seen him making a joke or smile for that matter.The other staff had given him a nickname, he was known as Mr. Cold because of the coldness he emits wherever he was. She knew that he was a good man; it was just the circumstances that turned him this way which was also one of the reasons why she developed a huge crush on the man even when she fully knew that he will never see her that way.So after all that assessment, why was he saying these words to her?“Are you joking sir?” she asked him as she staggered since she was standing on her two feet.“I am not a person who just jokes. I thought you said that you will help me when I need help. Are you turning back on your word right now?&rd
TWO YEARS LATERIt was a big day for her family; she was finally seeing the fruits of her two years of hard work.Her husband Dylan, who had graduated from university the previous year and was now working in one of her companies, Heritage Investment Firm; her beloved first daughters Anne and Leah; her godmother, Queen Tawland, was also present, as were many other distinguished guests and family.Mr. Dark, her father-in-law, was elected presidential candidate. People adored him, and as a result, he easily defeated his competitors. So today was his inauguration and first day as Dixing's president.He ran for president as an independent, but he was able to secure a seat in the Senate before running for president. Dylan squeezed her hand and smiled at her as she witnessed such a grand event."What are you thinking?" she inquired."I'm thinking about how much I love you," he said in response.“And how much do you lov
"I'm happy then," the little girl said before fleeing.With what Leah had said, Anne couldn't stop laughing."Are you seriously laughing at your mother right now?""Please accept my apologies, I couldn't take it any longer. She'd been pleading for one for months and I assumed she'd forgotten about it.""She doesn't appear to be the type to forget," she observed.Someone then approached her and informed her that the queen desired to see her, so she left Anne and went to see her."Did you call for me?""It's time for you two to leave," the queen said."Are we leaving? Where are you going?""That's another surprise I'm not going to give away. After all, you have a honeymoon to attend to," the queen winked at her.She had completely forgotten about the honeymoon."I completely forgot.""Yes, I see. In any case, the cars are already waiting for you; if you don't leave right away, you'll be late."S
The outside was more beautiful. How did they transform the entire palace into a festive atmosphere in just one night?The entire palace was decked out in red, white, and gold. There were flowers everywhere, and she could hear music somewhere. There were many cars parked in the yard, but she couldn't see anyone. She tracked Leah down to the queen's salon, where she found her waiting for her."There she is, the girl of the day," she said, widening her arms, "come here, daughter. Don't you look stunning?"She walked into her godmother's arms and held on for a while before they parted."I can tell just by looking at you that you are very aware of everything but are pretending you aren't.""Won't I ruin everything if I act as if I know? Dylan, after all, raked his brains for it.""You certainly know how to make others happy.""I'm giving it my all.""Everyone has been seated, and the only thing left for you to do is walk down the ai
They left the mansion and went to Violet's house, where Violet was overjoyed to see his mother. He left the women alone and braced himself for their departure at any moment.He gave the gown to Anne, who packed it carefully and secretly, as he doubted Violet would see it. She wasn't the type to rummage through her belongings; she couldn't do it.He went to pick up the two most important women in his life after everything was packed into the car. They proceeded to the airstrip; the plane had already been inspected, so they were free to depart.Violet slept through the journey, but it was a peaceful one. Anne and Martha couldn't stop talking about the past, and he learned a lot about this mother because of their conversations.Nia was waiting for them when they arrived. They were led to the palace, where Leah awaited them with bated breath. She was so overjoyed to see her mother that she refused to leave her embrace for a few moments.She hugged them
"You'd have no idea, Sam.""Don't call me that!" she screamed."I'm sorry, but you must understand. You changed your name and began to be deceptive. Rumors began to circulate about how you were sleeping with older men and making so much money as a result.And then you decided to move out, so we gave you permission because we thought it would be better for us, but then you showed up with a large sum of money, strange tattoos, and white hair! That caught us off guard; you were as if you weren't you at all.”“Why did you have to say those words again after you told me so many times before? Are you trying to make me angry?” she said in a low toned voice, if she were to yell again, she will draw a lot of attention."I'm sorry; I just wanted to be clear.""You did, and you did it well. I'll respond right away. Whether I joined a cult or a demonic organization, these are my personal issues, so don't try to get any clarifications.
"I have fountains at home," she tried to be amusing."I know, but these are different," he said as he drew her in.The water was too much for her, but she had a great time playing in it. She was experiencing new things she never thought she'd experience with Dylan by her side. She came to a halt while playing in the water and drew him to her."What is it?" Dylan inquired, but she did not respond verbally.She kissed him passionately for a long time before coming to a halt.“Wow! Babes, you never cease to amaze me. It's something we should do every day.""We should," she said as she hugged him tightly.She needed it, and she was not going to let anything stand in the way of her new profound love.Dylan had taken her out on dates almost every day for the past week, except for the day she had to return the three girls to Qontessah. After completing that task, Qontessah gave one of them another box, with the same instruction
It wasn't a long dress, but it was red and just above the knees, and it looked great on her."I love it," she said as she looked at herself."I am delighted you do. Now that you've decided you like it, let's return to your room and finish you up. I'm taking you on a date.""Is it a date?""Yes, we've never been on one.""Can you tell me where you're taking me?""It's not the best date, but I have some V.I.P tickets to a car race. I heard it's possible to make a lot of money.""Is there still a date?""Of course not. "Don't you think that adding money on top makes it even more ideal for a businesswoman like you?""You've gotten me there. I'll need to put on some shoes and bring some cash. If I'm going to be successful, I need to make a name for myself.""That's my girl," he said as he returned her to her room.He went into her closet and found a nice black five-inch heel for her and put them on. He chose som
There were some rumors among the people that Qontessah had so many guards around her not for her own protection but for the protection of those around her. This is why the island was constantly recruiting people who were solely handled by Xander.She was cruel and was labeled a witch, but Qontessah was eviler and frightening than she was. If she is a white witch, then Qontessah was a dark or black witch, a true agent of darkness, but when she thinks about it, she still has a good heart.She felt stronger the moment she gulped down the contents of the bottle. It was a success, and she smiled at her."I heard you've got a fiancé and another daughter, Violet. Congratulations," said Qontessah.“Thank you,” she replied."That's why I prepared another present for you. When you leave, Xander will give it to you.""I appreciate your concern.""Not a problem," she said, looking at them all, "you may now return to your respec
