Kensington Family Mansion.
"My family is willing to offer you guys a huge share in our company, two A-class mansions in our estate, and ten million dollars if Catherine agrees to get married to me." Joey, a very popular celebrity businessman, spoke with overconfidence.Mrs. Marianne, Catherine, and Bridget were sitting down and listening to Joey's proposal.Catherine wasn't even interested in whatever offer the guy brought, but her mom and her sister were obviously interested as their eyes widened in shock."Don't worry, my daughter is all yours!" Marianne immediately stood up with a joyful smile on her face and extended her hands for a handshake. "We can just wrap up the deal right now; where are the documents?" She asked instantly, not ready to let such an offer go to waste without bothering to consider her daughter first."Mom, I did not consent to anything he just said." Catherine stood up and held back her mom's hands."So you are bent on making my family go down every day? Your bastard of a husband has left you for another woman, and you are here believing he would return." Marianne yelled furiously as she controlled herself not to land a slap on Catherine's face in the presence of Joey."Also, you are not doing Aiden and Ava a favour by letting them grow without a father."Catherine glared at her mom for bringing up the names of her kids. "Don't ever bring my kids into any argument. William left me, but that doesn't mean I should go around prostituting just to get my kids a father.""Catherine, that bastard got you pregnant and ran away. One can even say you gave birth out of wedlock, and still you don't want to get married to such a fine youngg man." Her sister, Bridget, banged into the argument with a harsh remark."You-you.... Don't dare bring up my children in any conversation," Catherine turned and pointed threateningly at her sister. "I didn't birth my lovely kids out of wedlock; you were the one who gave birth out of wedlock. Pardon me, I should be the one asking you instead.Where is the bastard who got you pregnant and ran away, leaving you with Damian to take care of you all by yourself? I guess you don't even know the owner of the child because you were going around spreading your leg for those rich bastards that only want your body." Catherine fired at her sister furiously.Joey sat there, smiling as he looked at the three. His blonde hair swayed in the air as cool breeze blow from the different AC stationed at the different corners of the sitting room.'Catherine, such a fine woman. Your body is the only thing I want. If I have your body on my bed, I'll be the happiest man alive.' Joey thought to himself with a perverted smile.'No matter how many times you reject me, you will still end up as my woman. No lady born of a woman has ever escaped my grasp; you are quite a fiesty one, but I'll do everything to have you.'"I..." Bridget opened her mouth several times, but words failed her.At that moment, the door to the sitting room opened, which got the attention of everyone.William and Bruce slowly walked in, dressed in casual clothing.Their arrival caused the whole place to go silent in the graveyard at once.Mrs. Marianne broke the silence. "William, you money-sucking demon! What are you looking for in the Kensington family? Scram before I blink my eyes twice." "And who gave you permission to enter? Bastard, can't you knock?"Bruce looked at William weirdly; in his mind, he thought, 'Who is the crazy woman? Is she dead in the head?'William gave Bruce a signal, asking him to stand down and play along.Bruce complained inwardly; these people didn't even greet the supreme general, which could cause many to go down their knees at the mention of his name, and this woman was spouting nonsense."Mother-in-law, I am back." William smiled sweetly and spread his hand wide."Back for what? Back to messing with my daughter's head so she would give you money? That would never happen again. Now scram! Get out of my house before I call the police." She yelled.Catherine stood there, staring at William as though he was a ghost who had just returned from the land of the dead!She was lost as to what to say and how to react."Mother-in-law, calm down a little bit; barking is not good for your health and is only going to make you turn older faster than the norm." William smiled, revealing his whitish teeth."Me, barking? I said it! You are here to insult me; you are here to beat me like you did the last time. Come on, bring out your hands, and fight like a man. Come on, kill me! Kill me!" She brought her head towards him in a provocative manner as she moved her body back and forth like a boxer.Bruce quickly stepped in front of William to shield him from this crazy woman."Don't get close to my bo.......""Bruce!!"William reprimanded him in a loud voice.Bruce sighed deeply and stepped out of the way."No, leave him; let him beat me for you. Isn't that what you know how to do? Steal your wife's money and beat her mother; c'mon, beat me; take those manly hands and beat me till my old bones break to pieces."William kept his smile. To be honest, this Mrs. Marianne deserves numerous awards for her acting skills.Most A-class actors can't even take on the scenes she has taken in the few minutes since he arrived."So you are that useless brat they have always spoken about?" Joey stood up and proudly made his way towards William with his hands behind his back.William gave him the Who-the-fuck-are-you look while Bruce glared at him."I'm Joey McAllister, the heir of the Alister business group." Joey introduced himself."Who asked?" Bruce barked at him.William rolled his eyes at Joey without saying a word from his mouth."It seems you don't know who my father is, the head of the Alister business group worth hundreds of millions of dollars. A man like you can never reach such heights, even if you commit crimes hourly.""By the way, what brought both of you here? You are dressed like laundry men..." Joey grinned. He turned to Bridget and asked, "Did you send for laundry men?""They are supposed to be here in the evening; I guess the company decided to make it fast because they are aware of my family status and sent these two in the process, but I don't need them. A man like him should never step foot in our mansion ever in your entire life." Bridget walked towards both of them."William and whosoever is with you, I have cancelled my order for you guys. You can leave now." She said.'So he wasn't here for me after all!' Catherine felt saddened and furious within herself.She turned her back against everyone and slowly climbed up the stairs."Catherine." The gentle voice of William resounded in her ear, which made her halt in her step."Catherine," William gently called out in a low voice with a joyous smile plastered on his face. The sweet sensation of joy at seeing his woman once again after three good years ran down his spine.Hearing the gentle voice of her lover, Catherine couldn't help but halt in step without turning back to look at him as she closed her eyes, holding back the tears that were gathering in her eyes. Over the years that William left her, she had always yearned for him.Since that day, she has changed and become a sadist who craves for the love of William. At night, she always cried her eyes out whenever she remembered him.Seeing that Catherine froze there at her spot, William took a deep breath before walking towards her. "Catherine, I am back for you. Are you not happy to see me?" He said these words in a slow tone."I know I shouldn't have left that way, but I got no...."Marianne coldly glared at the advancing William, her face flushed with anger. "What do you know you're doing, you bastard?
Walking out of the huge compound dejectedly, William stopped and looked towards one of the windows upstairs, then his eyes met those of Catherine, who was also looking down at him through the window of her room."Sire, where to next?" Bruce asked.Bruce's voice brought him out of his occupied thoughts.William sighed before taking his eyes off the window; Catherine wasn't longer there.He stood briefly there before he was able to think of what next. "Let's move out of this area first before anything else."William and Bruce crossed over to the other side of the road before finding their way out of that area."Now, let's find a hostel to lodge in for today before making proper arrangements for everything," William said to Bruce, who stood behind him vigilantly.Bruce nodded in agreement without saying a word before stepping forward to the roadside, waving his hand out to the taxis that were driving past, trying to stop one, but none stopped.Any taxi that stops will immediately continue
William and Bruce silently observed the passing shadows of the city as the car speedily zoomed through the bustling city streets towards their destination.The cabman occasionally stole glances at the two through his rearview mirror, different thoughts running through his head mixed with curiosity. 'I'll silently watch how things unfold and if they dare play any smart game with me......' .......The driver pulled in front of an elegant hotel with "Luxe Fernandez Hotel" boldly written in red on top of the tall buildings. The hotel was sparkling white, which speaks purely to how expensive and stunning the hotel was. Luxe Fernandez Hotel was one of the best in town and was popularly known by almost everyone. It can't be afforded by commoners but by the wealthy ones. "Here we are," the cab driver said immediately he stopped his car as he looked at the two through the rearview mirror, waiting to see their next move with a complicated expression on his face.William noticed the look on hi
"Use the gate and get back to where you came from," The security guard harshly said as he close the gap between them as he pointed towards the gate that was wide open. "Huh, I see. Maybe it's because am too polite here with you." William and Bruce were unfazed as they locked eyes with the guard. It was annoying, seeing that the two weren't afraid and still remain standing in front of him gallantly without any iota of fear in them. 'I will deal with these two in the presence of everyone that next time, they will learn not to pass their poor class limit next time in life,' he thought and looked around, seeing people attention, an evil grin formed on his face. Some people were still presented and gathered around, as they watched and enjoy the interesting scene unfolding in front of them. "Look at those two pretending to be bold, just watch as they are going to suffer at the hand of that burly guard." "I pity those two, they don't know what is good for them. "I don't know if the poor
A young lady could be seen comfortably sitting down in a big beautiful office inside the Luxe Fernandez Hotel, as she went through some documents with a tired look on her face. "I'm exhausted for today as this almost 12p.m for the scheduled appointment," she said tiredly stretching her back as she check the time. "Tomorrow, I'll come early and complete the remaining stuffs." She properly arranged the documents to a corner. She turned her attention toward her laptop. "Let's see if the entrance is clear for me to use today." She clicks on few buttons, a video pop up on her screen. It was the entrance and outside view of the hotel displaying through the CCTV positioned in the entrance of the hotel, it wasn't a problem for her since she has access to all the CCTV around the hotel. Her eyes glue to the displaying video, she saw two men on ordinary clothes walking into the hotel's vicinity and which she found surprising because, normally the poor can't afford to stay in such an expensiv
William and Bruce sat down inside Valentina's office as they faced her. Valentina decided to personally attend to them despite the fact that she was exhausted; she didn't want to unknowingly offend two powerful men. "Good day, gentlemen," Valentina gently greeted as she sat with her attention on the two. "It's an honour having you two come here." William and Bruce nod their heads. "The pleasure it's all yours for inviting us in as your guests," William smiled warmly as if what happened outside was nothing. "No, no, no, no," Valentina quickly objected. "I should be the one thanking you two instead because of what took place outside that shouldn't have happened. I am Valentina, in charge of this hotel," She said, stretching forth her hand for a handshake. "Oh, William, and this is Bruce." He accepted the hand as they introduced themselves. After exchanging pleasantries among themselves. "Now, let's get down to business," William said, clearing his throat as he went straight to th
William and Bruce were able to get to the presidential suite under the guidance of one of the butlers assigned to them.William's placed the card into the card reader door, and the door automatically opened on its own."Welcome, esteemed guest," a mechanical voice said from the side of the door. The door was a computerised one, so it was already programmed for such stuff.William and Bruce walked inside the luxurious room that was sparkling white, with everything inside a touch of white.The butler remained outside, slightly bowing his head. "If you need anything, I'll be outside here awaiting your command, getting it done," he was extremely respectfully to the two because he knew for one to lodge in the presidential suite, they must be wealthy.The door automatically closes on its own.William looked around the luxurious room, which was sparkling white, and the air was filled with a wonderful scent that refreshed him and sent a sweet sensation down his body."This is so cool!" He exc
Catherine turned back, only to see someone she wasn't expecting. William and Bruce were dressed in a neat white top and trousers as they walked in their direction from the left corridor. 'What is he doing here?' Catherine questioned herself. 'Maybe they are workers here, but from the type of clothes on them, they don't look like employees. Meaning, the words of my mom and Bridget are true, and he left me for another woman, as the William I know can't afford to lodge in this kind of expensive hotel.' Catherine concluded after inspecting the two as they came close to her. With a pained expression on her face. "Please, continue to lead the way," she said to the man at her front as they walked away. William rushed to get to her as he saw her walking away. "Catherine, wait." Bruce shook his head for his boss; he knew that William deeply loved Catherine and was part of the reason he retired from the "Supreme Military Corps," even after becoming the supreme general respected by everyone.
