“Stupid! Do you think you can fool that girl like you always did? Can’t you see that she has changed?” her mother said as she walked out of the kitchen.“Mom, how can you say that?” Kaylee asked as she pouted since she felt wronged when her mother called her that.“What? Go back to your room, your mother will call you down for dinner later,” Mr Clark said coldly before taking the newspaper from the table and reading it.“Dad,” Kaylee called out she was met with a pair of cold eyes making her swallow back the words that she wanted to say.When Aaron arrived home, he was welcomed by a cup being thrown towards him taking him by surprise.He looked ahead with a cautious posture as he knew that only his father and grandparents had the guts to do such a thing.Remembering what had happened that day, he didn’t dare breathe as he knew that as long as he walked farther, he might be doomed.“Grandpa,” he greeted politely as even a smile couldn’t form on his face due to fear.“Do you know how mu
When Rhiannon walked upstairs, Octavius' dark eyes were on her back till she disappeared.“Alfred, can you call the bodyguards that were assigned to be with her today,” Octavius said before returning to what he was doing.“Yes, young master,” the butler said as he snorted when he saw that.‘Why pretend that you don’t care about her then call her bodyguards to ask how her day was? Can’t you just ask her herself? No need to tire this old man with moving around,’ he murmured as he walked but sadly, Octavius who had good ears heard him.“I heard you. You can continue complaining or bubbling just do it loudly instead of murmuring it to yourself yet I can hear you. Don’t worry, I will pretend that I can’t hear you. Also, you need exercise since you are an old man,” Octavius said coldly making the old man speechless.To avoid his young master’s fury, Alfred walked faster but met Octavius' friend at the door.“Old man, why don’t you ever learn? You know how he has sharp ears that can hear any
“Uhm, dinner is ready,” Rhiannon said in an awkward tone as she didn’t expect that they were talking about women.Although she didn’t hear everything much, she knew that it had something to do with her but it didn’t trouble her so much as all that was on her mind was getting her revenge.“Okay,” Octavius said as he glanced at her.“I must eat Uncle Alfred's meals as I have missed eating them,” Dave said as he hurriedly stood up and walked to the dining room afraid that his friend would chase him out.Octavius frowned as he had indeed planned to tell him to leave but now that the latter had already gone to the dining, he remained silent and followed him.The dishes were already on the table and they could serve themselves thus there was no need to have some house help standing behind the waiting to serve.Rhiannon sat at the end of the table and served herself a small portion of food making Octavius frown.“Why are you seated there?” he asked in a displeased tone.Rhiannon looked up th
Everyone looked at her before Octavius’ eyes darkened.“Leave!” he said sternly to Dave.“Why are you asking me to leave when I have done nothing wrong?” Dave asked as he felt wronged.‘Why can’t you leave? Is this your house?” Octavius retorted coldly.Dave looked at him shook his head then walked away.Rhiannon looked at that as he wondered what was going on she couldn’t understand how the two would be laughing one second and the next second he was being chased away.“Uhm why did you tell him to leave when you guys haven’t finished talking?” she asked.She felt that she had to add those last words if she didn’t want to get in trouble.“There is nothing so serious to talk about,” Octavius said coldly.To him, Rhiannon was happier staying with Dave than being with him as Dave was jovial and knew how to make her laugh while he on the other hand, he was always cold.“Oh, then I am going to sleep,” she said as she yawned.“Not so fast,” Octavius said as he held her waist making her lose
Rhiannon opened her eyes only to find that a hard thing was below. She frowned as she struggled to get up. Seeing the naked chest, images of what happened at night flooded her mind making her blush profusely. “You are awake?” a hoarse voice sounded above her causing her to hide her face as she tried her best to get out of his embrace. “Can you stop struggling? I can let you go if you tell me properly instead of what you are doing,” Octavius said as he looked at the figure above. “Can you please let me go? I need to use the washroom,” Rhiannon said as she gritted her teeth regretting what had happened yesterday. “Sure,” he said releasing her although he knew that she was lying. Immediately Rhiannon was released from his embrace, she covered herself with bed cover before she released that she had left Octavius naked. Seeing his naked body, she blushed and ran away as she felt that if she stayed there, she wouldn’t be able to leave the room till noon. After freshening up, she walke
“Do we have to go to that restaurant if it is so far away?” Rhiannon asked as she yawned while seated in the passenger seat and Octavius was driving.“I had there are delicious meals there and I want you to try them. You have now started leading the company and you can’t go for something less,” Octavius said making Rhiannon confused.When he saw her confusion, he shook his head. “What I mean is that you have now taken your mother’s company, do you plan on only being in the fashion industry? You are just specializing in clothes not even jewels, I think you should broaden the company if you want it to reach a higher level and also for it to be an international company,” he said causing Rhiannon to fall into deep thought.“Then what does that restaurant have to do with all that?” she asked as she felt that there was something fishy.“It is a very high-end restaurant, you need cards to get there, and also, most people who go there are very wealthy families and their companies are worldwid
The young couple turned around and saw Kaylee. Rhiannon’s eyes darkened when she saw the latter while Octavius glanced at his wife in worry. Kaylee and her friends were surprised at how handsome Octavius was and they started feeling jealous. Seeing the jealousy in Kaylee’s eyes, Rhiannon chuckles bringing the latter back to reality. “Sister, who is he?” she asked in a soft voice opposite to the tone she had used previously. “Why do you want to know?” Rhiannon asked coldly as she understood what was going on in her half-sister’s head. “Sister, you are married. I am afraid that your husband will get angry when he discovers that you are with a man in a restaurant,” Kaylee said showing her concern but her words easily swayed away those of those who heard her words. Some started sneering as they looked at Rhiannon. ‘Such a young and beautiful woman but she has already started cheating on her husband! I pity the man who married her,” one of the passersby said with disgust causing Oc
The cold voice sounded at the entrance making some people take steps backwards.Although the restaurant was well known and everyone wanted to go there, they feared the boss as he was a no-nonsense man.“It’s just that there is a shameless person who seems to have no manners,” a woman said in the crowd causing the boss’ face to darken.“I have always said that only those who are righteous and are not despicable can come to my restaurant. Who is that person? Kindly tell me so that I can throw him or her outside,” he said coldly as his darkened eyes roamed around the crowd to see who was present and the person the people were saying.When his eyes fell on Octavius, he was shocked and opened his mouth to say something but the latter shook his head.Kaylee panicked when she heard the man’s words. When he saw him looking around, she lowered her head afraid that the boss would know the panic in her eyes and chase her out of the restaurant.She was so afraid of what her father would do to her
