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
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
"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
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
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
Fighting was no longer an option; she just lay there, tears streaming down her cheeks, as the vicious men continued to vandalize her. They were strewn all over her body. Her body had become too numb for her to do anything.Everything started one beautiful evening when she was sent outside to run an errand. And, as she always did, she took the shortest route she knew well. She was walking when she noticed a young man she recognized; he was her older brother's friend, so she remained calm.She came to a halt to speak with him, only to black out in a matter of seconds. When she opened her eyes, she was naked in a deserted area, in a place she was unfamiliar with, with a huge man in between her legs.It was excruciatingly painful, so she cried and screamed, but the more she did this, the worse it became.While that man raped her incessantly, she noticed her brother's friend staring at her. She couldn't read his emotions, but she was filled with hatred for him
TWENTY YEARS LATER There was one thing he despised, and that was school. The thought of being in class all day irritated him, but he had no choice. There was a lot on the line. Dylan Dark was born in a very rich family and never lacked anything but when something he really loves gets threatened; he was left with no choice but to what he was told. He grew up with his mother and never met his father until one day his mother abandoned him at this large house and told him that his father would look after him now. He hasn't seen her since, and that was sixteen years ago, when he was only five. Living with strangers you had to call parents and siblings was difficult at first, but he adjusted over time. When that old man discovered he was skipping classes, he threatened him with his mother. The old man stated that he knew where she was and that if he continued to act in this manner, he would never be able to see her, even if she died. So, ever since
An entourage of cars arrived while he was distracted by the scenery in front of him. Three cars came to a halt directly in front of the club where he was. Between the two black Maserati sedans was a one-of-a-kind and stylish white limousine. What was happening in front of him was familiar; it looked exactly like how his father did things. He stood there motionless, waiting to see who was in that car. The doors of the black cars opened at that moment, and three women dressed as bodyguards emerged from the car in front, followed by three men from the last car. Finally, the limousine's front door opened, revealing a stunning beauty who, judging by her attire, appeared to be someone of great importance. But the show was just getting started because the beautiful lady dressed in that stunning and expensive black gown opened the other limousine door. For a brief moment, he believed he felt a cold breeze passing by and had goose bumps all over his body. After the do
It was one of those once-a-month occasions when the entire family gathered and pretended to be a family, or something along those lines. Only if they knew how much she despised it. Anne opened the door for her and she entered; it appeared that everyone had already arrived; it was only she who had not. She put on a bright smile the moment she walked into the room. Her younger sisters were both present, and she enjoyed seeing their expressions more. She admired their freedom and carefree way of life. They were fortunate to live a pain-free life, in contrast to the one she led when she was their age. She sat down, and Anne sat next to her. She greeted her parents and older brother first, followed by her younger siblings. “It hasn't been that long, and you've gotten a lot fatter,” Violet said as she pinched her fifteen-year-old sister. “Am I overweight?” In disbelief, Lucy wondered aloud. If there was one thing her little sister despised, it was being fat
