Thomas arched a brow, showing uncertainty."Oh really? how do you expect me to believe that? huh!." Thomas said."We brought you notes written by our classmates," Jason added, bringing out a beautifully designed gift box and extending it towards him. Kim helped him receive it."Thank you very much, so thoughtful of you all to do this. I'm sure Thomas appreciates." "Why don't you all join Thomas for lunch?". She added and glanced at Thomas. He wasn't happy with her decision but had to pretend. He had just made her angry and didn't wish to add to it."Yes, join us for lunch," Thomas uttered with a bright smile."Mrs?" Kim asked and the teacher responded quickly."Mrs. Smith." "Mrs. Smith, please join us." "Oh! no thank you, I'm full. the kids can eat while we talk outside privately."Kimberly and Mrs. Smith walked outside the room, leaving the kids alone."Where is she?" Henry asked Andrew and he quickly brings out his phone and accessed the tracker."She's in a park.""What park?."
After the teacher left with the kids, Kimberly finally had Thomas's time and was about to scold him for what he did. It turned out Thomas bullied his classmates which made them conspire against him in a bid to deal with him. Kim was very angry when the teacher told her about it. Since she thought Kim was Tom's mother, he advised her to pay more attention to her son and talk to him or else the little kid would grow up to be a thug.Before Kim started talking, she checked the time. Monica had been waiting for so long that she needed to be quick and go meet her at the park. "Thomas we need to talk." She said calmly, after putting things in place and arranging the roomMonica waited patiently for Kimberly, she did as Kim instructed her. To wait in a particular spot and her cellphone with her. Monica was getting nervous already, Kimberly promised to be quick with where she went. From a distance, Andrew and Henry were in his car, they had arrived a few minutes ago and Henry ordered them to
"Let me help you with that." He offered quickly when she came out and closed the door since Elvis didn't want to go inside, in order not to disturb Thomas's sleep."It's okay, I can hold them myself. I'm leaving now." Kim said impatiently."Allow me to see you out." Elvis quickly said to her, making her pause and stopped walking.She turned back to stare at him."There's no need honestly, I can go out myself."Kim didn't allow him to say anything when she continued."If you don't mind, I'm in a hurry." "Kimberly wait." He called out and before she knew it, Elvis was in front of her. She took a step backward slowly moving away from him, thinking about what Henry did to him the other day, she didn't seem to forget it and felt guilty instead. He hadn't recovered from it since it was just two days ago. She could still see the bruises left on his face from the beatings and a little plaster at the edge of his mouth which was possibly injured.The atmosphere between the both of them was a
"You don't want to know why your cellphone is on the bed," Henry said."Why would I want to know? isn't it obvious you took it from Monica? how did you find her at the park?" Kim asked, letting out a slight grin."How else do you think?""So it's true, you have my cellphone bugged." "You are my wife, I have the right to know wherever you are and whatever you do, don't you think?"."I can't even have a minute of freedom? That's absurd!." "Kimberly doesn't push me too much. " Henry warned."And if I do? " Kim asked and he didn't reply, the looks in his eyes gave him out. "don't you think you're overreacting? asides having your watchdogs follow me around like I'm some sort of a prisoner, you also bugged my phone. what other thing would you do just to believe I'm not cheating on you with some other man?""Don't speak to me that way.""Oh really? I'm doing it right now, let me see if you stop me.""K-I-M-B-E-R-L-Y, Don't make me repeat myself.""Henry Williams, I love you. I love you mo
Sometime later, Margaret could be seen walking with Ethan in the big villa. They've walked past the garden and some other places. Though it was quiet since they didn't speak to each other. Margaret still enjoyed the walk. She hadn't done something like this for quite a while. She was always a restrained person and deprived herself of some privileges just to show how fit she was for the empress position. She wanted it and also a free life. But it was something that doesn't go together. "Ouch," Margaret said as she falls to the ground. Ethan almost panicked and he leaned to help her. She was tripped by a stone and had injured her leg."It hurts." She said, making a painful face."I'm sorry, it's my fault for not watching over you properly. " Ethan apologized while checking her wound. "It's okay, I wanted to take a walk anyway. maybe this was the price." Margaret looked up slowly at him. He didn't notice as he was focused on taking care of her would."Ethan." She called out slowly and
"I have so many ways to prove it, your highness. That child isn't mine." Kim defended, but it was obvious Francis didn't buy it.Francis hummed briefly."How do you want to prove it?" He asked."Stripping." Kim quickly blurted.Margaret cast a glance at Vanessa and then at Gabriella. "How dare you? how dare you utter such a word In front of his Majesty? do you not fear death? You want to strip before him?" Gabriella quickly attacked her."What do you expect? she was brought from a club! she does it every time. Doing it now wouldn't matter to her, she is used to selling her body."Francis stared at the woman kneeling. Her suggestion is a tough one. How could she request to strip in front of him? Asides from that, how would stripping prove to him that she hasn't had a child before?"Your majesty, I'm sorry for my utterances. I just want to prove my innocence. Any woman who has given birth to a child before always has proof to show on her body. " Kim said."Your highness, I have proof t
Andrew pushed the door open Abruptly on Henry and Mr. Scott.Henry became angry at his guts to barge in on them."Andrew! what is it?." He asked immediately."I'm sorry your highness, it's an emergency. And it involves the madam." He said quickly."Kimberly? what happened to her?." Henry was already grabbing his coat and wearing it."Information just came from the mansion, She is being questioned by the Emperor for over an hour and it seems to be a serious issue.""Why didn't you tell me earlier?." Henry grabbed his shirt tightly, pushing him towards the wall."You know how Francis gets!.""Your highness, I've just heard of it and came to report quickly." Andrew tried to explain, which didn't help the situation as it earned him a punch from Henry.Mr. Scott who was still in the office tried to stop Henry after watching how he panicked and hearing his wife getting questioned by his father."I asked you to keep a close watch on her, report everything about Kimberly to me. how come this
After speaking with Thomas for a while and knowing he is fine and they've finally arrived home, Kimberly was relieved and finally stood up to change into her night robe and head towards the bathroom.A few minutes into the bathtub filled with water, She finally relaxed backward and closed her eyes. Although she was still thinking deeply about Henry. it was unusual for him to not come at times like this. She remembered how he was always there to defend her.Kim blushed shyly, she kept thinking about him.Her eyes quickly opened when she thought she heard a noise. It was the sound of the door opening."Who's there?." she asked, but got no response since the room was very silent and she was the only one in it."Monica?." she added. Kim was very sure she heard the door open just now and then she stood up from the bathtub, when she was about to grab the robe, her eyes sighted something.The shiny body of a black sliding reptile. A snake! entering the bathroom.She screamed out Loudly. Sinc
