Rosie felt her heart drop, she also heard Gary sigh in disappointment. Why was David doing this? Was he trying to hurt Stefanie knowingly?Rosie didn't like Stefanie that well, but that didn't mean that she was going to support this. It was David who forcefully engaged Stefanie, why was he behaving like this? After the kiss, David and Natalie posed for the cameras again. Natalie was the most delighted person ever, she was all over David like a cat. "What are we going to do?" She calmly asked. "You know we have to do something.""Not if we want to live," Gary muttered. He pressed his signature walking stick into the ground and left her. David and Natalie walked into the building. Her eyes were on David the whole time, she was praying in her heart that he looked at her, but he never did. The instant that David walked into, everyone got on their feet and clapped for him. Rosie slipped in, watching from the corner. David waved, with his other hand placed against his chest in humi
Rosie was somehow convinced that David was joking, even though he wasn't a joker of late. She waited for him to say that it was all a joke, Natalie was an insufferable bitch, but he had humiliated her enough, but he never said so. He didn't even blink, he was as serious as a heart attack. "David, sir, please tell you that you are joking." She begged. "That's strange, I don't know why I would joke with something like that," David stated. She smiled nervously and pulled closer to him. "David, do you realize what you are asking me to do?" She whispered to him. "She will be naked, there are paparazzi around here." "That's the idea of the whole thing." David acknowledged. "Make sure that you get everything from her, nothing should be left on her skin." He turned away from her, that was her sign to get that it was a settled matter, it wasn't up for discussion. Gary wasn't around, there was no one else she could speak to about this. Also, it wasn't like Gary could change David's mi
It dropped like a bomb in the room. Everyone knew of the brotherhood. A group of feared individuals that do whatever they like, the government even pretends not to know that they exist. Rosie and Gary exchanged a tensed glance, they knew that this was trouble."My master has no intention of joining your brotherhood." Gary took one step forward. "With that being said, I think it's time you go." Dean Williams peered at Gary's face like he knew him but couldn't place the face. He smiled and turned back to David without saying a word. "Leave us, everyone," David ordered. Gary was surprised, but like always, he couldn't question David in front of people. The bodyguards that came with Dean Williams started to leave the room, and Gary was behind them. Rosie was going to, but David stopped her. "Remain where you are, Rosie." David pointed at her. She was surprised, but she stood at attention with a nod. "Yes, sir." Dean Williams looked at her from head to toe. He smiled hungrily.
David was visibly confused by seeing a girl that looked so much like Stefanie. He knew that her parents were dead, but she never brought up any of her other family members– he didn't even know that she had any. "Is this kind of a sick joke?" David looked around. "Oh, he doesn't recognize me." The girl laughed. "You two know each other?" Dean Williams asked. They didn't answer, they were looking deep into each other's eyes, not in a good way. There was something evil about this twin of Stefanie's, she didn't have the empathy of her sister, and she didn't have the innocence in her eyes. "So, we finally meet, David." She said, "Who are you?" He asked. "Lilian." She answered. "Stefanie's twin." David nodded like it was something that slipped his mind, but in reality, he was very confused. "Can we all sit down and get going with the meeting?" Dean suggested. "Exchange pleasantries later." Lilian's eyes didn't leave David as she sat down. She put back her hood, hiding her face
At this point, David couldn't hide the shock on his face. Stefanie had an Uncle named Antonio. And this uncle kind of hated him before even meeting him? Lilian could see the look of doom on his face and that made her laugh even more. "Yeah, that's what I thought." She taunted him. "You and Stefanie, it's never going to happen." David felt a lump in his throat, suffocating the hell out of him, but it was just those vile words from Lilian. David loved Stefanie and wanted to be with her. It was her kind nature that made him fall in love with her in the first place. "Stefanie and I are still going to get married," David told her fearlessly. "She won't get married without Antonio's blessing, she is too much of a scared chicken to do that." "So you are going to run off and tell your Uncle that David Wyatt wants to marry his niece?" "No, sweetheart, what's the fun in that?" She smiled. "I will leave that for him to figure out by himself, but when he finally does so, he is going to k
So David and Stefanie got married. It was a small ceremony with Rosie as the only witness. Gary officiated the ceremony after getting a quick license. David and Stefanie finally kissed, sealing up the union. Rosie stepped out to the balcony as soon as they were done with that. She took out a cigarette and lit it, puffing the smoke into the air. Stefanie happened to walk in and she was caught in the act. Stefanie stared at the cigarette before looking at Rosie. "Um, I thought you quit?" Stefanie asked. "What do you want?" Rosie huffed. Stefanie was holding a glass of champagne and she handed it to Rosie. Rosie gulped everything down at once. "Are you sure you are okay?" Stefanie squinted. "Do you need me to call David?" "Ha, ha, very funny." She rolled her eyes. "This is some kind of joke to you, right?" "I have no idea what you are talking about." "Yeah, I'm the crazy one. One minute you are asking me to help you escape from him and the next you are marrying him?" Rosie
Stefanie returned with a gloomy look on her face, David didn't know what it was. She didn't say anything and he didn't have the time to ask because footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. David looked up to behold Antonio, but he was blown away instead. This wasn't what he was expecting, this wasn't the kind of person he thought was Stefanie's uncle. Uncle Antonio was covered in tattoos, full sleeves, and neck – only his face was spared. He looked like a very dangerous man even though he was over sixty years old. Because this wasn't how David thought he was going to be, he was intimidated. Maybe he wouldn't have been intimidated if they found each other in his office, it would have been different. David didn't realize that Stefanie had run into her uncle's arms and he was asking after him. Stefanie had to go back to him, take his hand, and laugh. "David is just so stunned to finally meet you." Stefanie laughed nervously. "Aren't you, David?" David took a step forward a
The room was dead silent, if a pin fell it would sound like the eruption of a volcano. Stefanie was looking at her finger in shock, and David was looking at her too. The craziest part was that he was mad at her, very mad, but he couldn't be mad at her here. Lilian was smiling with a devilish grin, she was waiting to see how she got into the situation. "Oh, Stefanie didn't tell you guys?" David laughed. "Huh?" Lilian asked. "My ex-boss, she was very delighted that I was getting married." David started. "I didn't have a good enough ring, so took it upon herself to get me a good ring, a very expensive one." "Oh, yeah!" Stefanie joined the lie. "His ex-boss!" "That's good." Antonio nodded. "It's good to know that you were a very hard worker." "David is also finding a job here." Matilda appeared again, she set a wine bottle on the table before she left. Lilian was angry, she huffed as she dug into her food. "So, which kind of jobs do you do?" Antonio asked him. "I am quite h
