‘Keep going’ Stanley ordered and Joe had to respect his boss, so he drove the car and Kimberly was quiet all along till they arrived at the mansion.Kimberly got down the car and hurried to her bedroom before shutting the door, she could not believe that he still behaves coldly towards her after she helped him.So she retracted her suitcase and parked her clothes, books, and shoes…everything she brought to Stanley’s place.He already got his inheritance and the only thing left was for him to get Jennet, so there was no doubt that she will be dumbed down soon so she must dumb him first before he does.She dragged her suitcase to the sitting room and was shocked as Stanley sat on the couch with an angry look. He thought she needed space, so he decided to let her rest tonight and they will have a proper conversation tomorrow but he didn’t expect that she would park her stuff to leave.‘You are running away?’ he asked and walked towards her. ‘I am not running away, I am saving you the tro

Kimberly freshened up and walked to the kitchen even without checking the list, her mind was not at ease so she didn’t check the results. She washed tomatoes and other groceries to make breakfast but her mind was not with her.Stanley walked downstairs and was about to check on Kimberly In her bedroom when he spotted her in the kitchen.‘What are you cooking?’ he asked but she didn’t reply as she did not notice his presence.‘Kimberly,’ he called out before she regained herself and stared at him ‘What?’ she asked confused.‘What are you thinking about?’ he asked and walked towards her. ‘Uhm…nothing, you shouldn’t be here’ she said and took a few steps from him.‘It is my house," he reminded her, she nodded and decided to place her attention on her cooking.‘Move aside, your mind is in a mess and you will ruin the food’ Stanley said and picked an apron before putting it on. Kimberly was surprised, was he going to cook?‘I can do it’ she said but Stanley didn’t pay attention to her, he

‘What do you mean? It’s a school event’ she said in a low voice, she realized that once you use a harsh tone with him then he will become more violent towards you and that’s something she was trying to avoid.Stanley didn’t reply to her, the car stopped in front of a five-star restaurant and they all walked down. Annie couldn’t believe it, was she going to have lunch here? A while ago she thought she was going to die.Kimberly stood by Jennet as they all walked in towards the private center. ‘Mr. Williams, this way please’ the receptionist said as she smiled at him.Stanley didn’t reciprocate her smile, they all sat and passed their orders.Once the meal arrived, Kimberly and Annie were not in the mood to eat. The food was appetizing and mouthwatering, but they were sitting with a powerful man. His aura was enough to scare a lion.‘Stanley…I…uhm, I’ Kimberly stuttered, Stanley knew she wanted to talk about the field trip. He wanted her to learn to ask permission before doing anything.

The next morning….Kimberly felt sour and her head also hurt a lot, Stanley was awake and kept staring at her. ‘I will prepare a bath’ he said as Kimberly didn’t scold him this morning…he hopes her anger of yesterday will remain in the past.Stanley walked to the bathroom and Kimberly’s tears kept rushing out, now she has let him toy with her and it was left one thing…that was to leave, more like to escape from everyone.Tears rolled down her cheeks because she thought he will prove her wrong, she thought he will resist her only to prove that he didn’t want to toy with her…but it felt like this was what he wanted all along.Later, he walked towards her and carried her to the bathroom before dropping her on the tub. ‘Do you feel better?’ he asked but she didn’t reply. ‘Are you hungry?’ he was being patient with her because he was the one who hurt her. Since she didn’t reply, Stanley walked out of the bathroom.The first thing which caught his attraction was the pool of blood on the be

‘I miss you’, Stanley said and she felt her heart thumping. Was she doing the right thing by giving her heart out to him?She bit her lips as she didn’t know what to say ‘When you are back, go see your parents’ Stanley said and she had a frown but she was not too angry as it came from him. ‘Please’ he added. This was the first time she heard him say this sincerely.‘I will’‘Kim, come see’ Annie ran towards Kimberly and pulled her to see some monkeys jumping up the tree.Kimberly hung up the call and joined them, she kept avoiding Jack the whole time and that made him sad.‘Parker, did I do something wrong?’ Jack finally found the chance to ask her and she kept giving him that same fake smile again.‘What's wrong?’ Jack walked closer to her and asked ‘Nothing… let us go join the others’ she said and turned to leave when Jack held her wrist.‘Are you rejecting me even before I propose?’ he asked as his eyes were a little red from the pain.‘Jack…I have someone else’ Kimberly was tired
