Rhiannon words caused Kaylee’s eyes to brighten up.“Really? You aren’t lying to me, right?” Kaylee asked hopefully causing Rhiannon to snicker silently.“Of course, why should I lie to you? Have I ever lied to you since we were kids?” Rhiannon asked innocently but in her heart, she regretted everything she had done in the past.Sometimes, she even hated her old self when she remembered how much she had suffered just because she wanted to share the love Kaylee received from her parents.When she was little, she understood that she would never see her mother ever again. She was always jealous of Kaylee having her mother by her side thus as time passed, she worked hard to get Mrs Clark’s and her father’s love. Because of that, she tolerated Kaylee, gave her everything she wanted, befriended her, and followed her everywhere afraid that she might miss something.Kaylee was stunned by her words. After a while, she shook her head as she remembered that Rhiannon never lied to her even once.
“What’s the location where they have been hiding the jewels?”Octavius’ words made Rhiannon stare at him for a long time before speaking.“Why are you staring at me? You have been so anxious and doing everything to get the jewels. It's not that I am going to take and seek them,” Octavius added when he saw her frowning as she stared at her.“She did tell me the location but am not sure whether it’s the right place or she is playing with me,” Rhiannon answered him as she shook her head.“Then do you want to check it out?” Octavius asked as he wanted his wife to be happy and not always sad because of her family.“Yeah,” Rhiannon said without glancing at him.Seeing this, Octavius' smile froze as he knew that she was still mad at him. He had thought that since it had been a week, her anger had at least calmed down but now, he knew that he was wrong. This made him panic as he wondered what he should do to make her forgive him.“Although the mother-daughter duo stole your jewels and some of
“I never knew that she would be so afraid. More afraid than she is of staying in prison. I am starting to think that I made a mistake in making sure that she is arrested. But it doesn’t matter, at least I know what she is really afraid of. Also, I am sure that from today, she will be so fearful of me,” Rhiannon said before laughing coldly causing the men to remain silent.Octavius' eyes were on her throughout. He knew that she hated Kaylee and her mother but never expected it to be so much as he thought she hated them because they ruined her family but now he didn’t need to be told by anyone that the latter hated them more because of something else. He was very curious about what it was but he didn’t dare ask as everyone had their own secret.“Are we going home or going to get the jewels?” Octavius asked after some time as he remembered that they had not told the driver the directions.“Let’s get the jewels first as I am afraid that Kaylee would change her mind and send someone to tak
“What are you thinking about?” Octavius asked but his eyes were on where Rhiannon’s hands were roaming.As her husband, there are some things that the latter can’t hide but she had succeeded in hiding the ring even from her husband.Every time she went to sleep, she would first lock herself in the room or closet, remove it, and hide because she was afraid that Octavius might see it when they were making love. Although they don’t do it daily, she is always on guard against Octavius after what he did.“Uhm? Nothing,” Rhiannon said immediately and she let go of the ring hanging in her neck and pretended that there was nothing.Octavius knew that she was hiding something but he didn’t ask as he understood that if the latter was hiding it from him, it meant that she still didn’t trust him.He felt displeased as he wanted her to trust him fully, always share her things with her, and depend on him.‘Does that mean you trust her fully?’ a voice in his head asked, stunning him in the process.
Rhiannon was stunned and at the same time confused.She raised her head turned her gaze from the things that were in the box and looked at him.“What?” she asked.“What’s your mother’s name? What’s their family’s name? Where does she come from?” Octavius asked question after question causing Rhiannon to frown as she didn’t like how she was questioning her.Seeing her frown and anger in her eyes, Octavius knew that he had definitely closed the line but what could he do? What he needed to know was an urgent thing.“I am sorry for invading your privacy and asking you this question but can you please tell me the answer? It’s very urgent,” Octavius said causing Rhiannon to stare at him for a long.She opened her mouth to speak then shut it up immediately.‘Keep them safe. If you ever meet anyone who identifies any of the jewels you have and their origin, you must deny everything. Tell them that you don’t know my surname! The people closest to you are the ones who hurt you the most. So dear
“Why are you closing the box when you haven’t finished looking whether everything is there?” Octavius asked when he saw her closing the box. Rhiannon didn’t reply to him as she was busy closing the box. She had already checked whether all of the jewels were there so she didn’t see the need to remove every of them one by one just for the men in the room to see them. Also, she knew that Octavius seemed to know her mother’s identity and she didn’t want him to give him more reasons to believe that he was right as that would be risky. She felt that although they were married, she had to be cautious in everything. “I have checked it and everything is here. Let’s leave,” she said to them as she started walking out. Octavius stood still as he watched her departing figure that seemed to be running away from something. He had doubts about the name that she had told him and about the Sanders from the North as he had never heard of any other rich family named Sanders in the country. Nonethe
Kaylee looked at her mother with a hurt expression when she heard her words.“Mom, how can you say that? Am I not your daughter?” she asked in tears making Mrs Clark roll her eyes.“Stop with the pretense. You are my daughter and I know you more than anyone else does. So don’t think that I would be blinded or start panic when I see you crying,” Mrs Clark said making Kaylee so speechless that she forgot to cry again.She felt wronged as she wasn’t even faking crying and tears but crying genuinely.She stared at her mother as she wondered why the latter had changed so much.“Then why don’t you come up with something else? If you are calling me selfish for choosing to live over staying here then why don’t you call her and you convince her? She might listen to you. After all, aren’t you her stepmother?” Kaylee said with a smirk making her mother angry.She hated when people showed her then she was just worthless and shouldn’t have anything even love. So even if it was her mother, she woul
“Rhiannon, how long will you keep on doing this?” Mr Clark asked immediately he walked into Rhiannon’s office without walking.“Mr. CEO, I think you know that I am your superior and you should be respectful to me. Have you ever seen me walk into your office without knocking even though I am superior? What gave you the right to barge in here without my permission?” Rhiannon asked her father coldly shocking him as he never expected to be treated that way by her.“Rhiannon! I am your father! Do I need to knock at my daughter’s office?” he asked angrily as he felt humiliated although there wasn’t anyone in the room.His words made Rhiannon chuckle as she kept the pen on the desk and slightly leaned on her chair as she stared at her father coldly.“It’s good that you remember that you have another daughter apart from Kaylee. Although you can behave like the man of the house and shout the way you want there, I won’t allow you to distract me when I am doing my work! I am the superior here at
