Alice gently passed a spoonful of oat into Peter's mouth and watched him struggle to swallow it.She smiled at him as Gabriella hissed loudly.She picked up a white handkerchief and cleaned his mouth.“That you take some time before digestion” she said smiling pleasantly at him.“Thank you Alice”, Peter managed to whisper.Gabriella packed up the used plates and headed for the kitchen leaving them to their loving moments.She was still separating the dishes when she heard someone barged in angrily,she left the kitchen on the bid to eavesdrop as usual.“What is your plan now father!” Selena bursted out angrily.She looked over at Alice and eyed her with disdain.“What are you talking about?” Peter questioned pretentiously.“You know exactly what I am talking about!” She thundered.Alice watched their banter “Miss Hale I think……”“Oh! You got yourself a new bitch and she thinks she could interfere already” Selena said sarcastically.“Watch your language young lady!” Alice shot back.The

I did it” he shouted at the top of his lungs.Maya walked in yawning lazily,her eyelids heavy from sleep deprivation.“Babe,we passed the second stage!” Leonard shouted excitedly.“Oh! congratulations” Maya responded dryly and moved to walk out.Leonard's excitement died instantly “why the cold shoulder, aren't you happy for my success?” Maya gave him a weird look “Really! I guess sleeping with Miss Conner finally got usefulness”She responded nonchalantly.“Wait Maya! Are you accusing me again?

Selena's mind drifted off to her question.“What happened at the amusement park that day?”She resisted the urge to respond but her subconscious mind was too weak to fight back.She struggled internally and a tear dropped from her eyes.She wondered where the bodyguards stationed outside her room were.“I just gave you a pinch of a yum, another pinch will paralyze you completely” she threatened.Pamela picked up her phone and dialed Spence's number.“Did she talk?” He questioned in haste.“She is a tough one, holding out too strongly”“I envisaged a resistance,pull out” he ordered.Pamela cut off the call and gently rubbed Selena’s cheek.“Don't worry sweetheart,it is a nightmare,you will forget it ever happened”Selena kept staring intently at her.Pamela pinched her with another pin and she closed her eyes and slept off snoring.She left calmly after checking out with the bodyguards who had got a heads up from Spence of her visit.The moment Spence dropped the call,his heart skipped

Chapter Forty Six: Mirror of a Witch
The Return of The Zillow Heir/Murf_lee_hat
Alice batted her lashes the moment she walked into the Zillow mansion.To her displeasure, Gabriella stood by the doorway watching her.To her surprise, Gabriella opened her mouth and the unexpected word came out.“Good morning Mrs Brown,I hope you had a splendid night?”Alice looked back to be sure there was no one else behind her.When she didn't see anyone she took it that Gabriella did by acknowledging her presence.“Was this some kind of a pretense or you just suddenly started feeling remorse?” She questioned her suspiciously.“You are smart afterall Mrs Brown,let's just say I would like to keep my job for a longer time”, Gabriella said sweetly giving her a taunting smile.“I see! I almost got fooled by the way”, Alice affirmed scornfully.“I had once lived as a con woman in my earlier years”, Gabriella responded sarcastically.Alice laughed hysterically,the venom in her filled her eyes.“This is beneath you Alice Brown” she muttered to herself.Shrugged her shoulder and met Gabr

“Steady Miss Hale,hold on tightly” Gabriella said sweetly holding Selena gently.“Thank you Gabriella,I will never forget your kindness” she responded with a pitiful smile.It has been a week since she was discharged from the hospital.She hadn't seen either Spence or Bella.“Mr Hale requested to see you earlier” Gabriella said cautiously.“What would the sly old geezer have to say to me?” She questioned with a raised browBut Gabriella only shrugged her shoulders in response.“We better get back inside,the forecaster mentioned a probability of rainfall,the cloud is starting to diverge”Gabriella pointed out desperately.They walked back to the mansion steadily giving them more time to discuss their secret businesses.“The next time that wench Alice comes over, ensure you inform me on time” Selena said frankly.Gabriella smiled warmly, satisfied that Selena finds Alice's presence disgusting and unwanted in the Zillow mansion.“We are almost home,” she said, pointing towards the gigant

The Return of The Zillow Heir/Murf_lee_hat
“If you are expecting an apology from me Ryan, you are definitely not getting one”, Selena said nonchalantly.Spence smiled sardonically “I wasn't expecting one,I am just baffled on why?”“I despised you back then,for being everything I could never be,is that enough of a response?” “Yet you searched endlessly for me,was that out of guilt?” Spence taunted her.His gut instinct says Selena is hiding a lot more.He could only get her to talk if he could successfully taunt her.“Are you done? Reverse psychology is my stronghold young man,I need to take a nap,you know the way to the door Ryan”, Selena said and winked at him.Spence felt a bit pissed with her confidence despite her atrocity.At the time,he wasn't more than three years old, so leaving him in a cold alley was really dangerous.What if the grieving Mrs Wellington hadn't found him?He got up on his feet and walked out of the mansion with a heap of questions in his mind.Peter picked up his phone after ensuring Gabriella was ou
Chapter Forty Nine: Coincidentally Unpleasant
The Return of The Zillow Heir/Murf_lee_hat
Bella wrapped up a nylon and threw it into the trash bin in her office.Her phone chimed and she hissed after checking the message.Selena's return to the company had eased her headache of dealing with the two dimwits she had employed as bodyguards.She picked up her bag and walked out of her office hastily.Getting into her car,she checked her face in the mirror.To her dismay she looked so pale and quite malnourished.Bella hastily dabbed on some moisturizer on her face and painted her lips more bolder.Getting to the restaurant,she met Bernard seated there with her mother whose battered face was hidden with sunglasses.She felt her anger rise from the pit of her stomach but she sat herself down opposite them.“Do corporate workers not keep to time too?” Bernard said sarcastically, pouring himself alcohol.“I had my hands full today”, Bella responded swiftly.“Bella”, her mother called out her name and held her hand lovingly.“I am okay mum”, she responded.Bernard ignored their mot

“Dude, you almost got caught with those tears”, Gale said playfully.Spence felt a sense of embarrassment but managed to hide it.“I know right,that was the first time someone talked about my mother since my return”.“I kinda feel sorry for you dude,I am used to this life as an agent but for you,this was definitely difficult, hasn't it been?” Spence didn't respond,he just gave him a reassuring smile.His father's word rang loudly in his head “Ryan Hale could be forever forgotten if you don't make haste”Spence felt Gale's hand on his sturdy shoulder.“Dude,your sister is gonna scream our heads off if we are a second late”.They rushed through their breakfast and left the cafeteria taking the elevator leading to Selena's office.They got off and walked briskly to her office.Gale knocked twice and turned the doorknob.They were about to walk in when Selena opened the door into their face giving them a scare.“Three seconds late again!” She screamed out loudly at them.“Miss Hale,we a
