Lahat ng Kabanata ng Daddy's little princess : Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Jerald's POV The fork I grasped tightly dropped to the plate when I heard that voice, one I was borne to recognize anywhere, before my eyes drifted to Father's, whose hands grasped the knife he had been slicing the steak with, and his gaze was murderous. “What is this lunatic talking about? They will always come out to say trash about us. Especially at times like this.” Mother shook her head in disbelief before turning to my wife, whose face had gone pale. “Oh, Claire darling, what is wrong? Don't tell me you are affected by what that thing said…” Her finger pointed to the TV.“Oh dear, it isn't the first, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. I also know that he would be caught soon. For all I care, that could have been someone paid by Lindsy to taint the name of our family.” She shrugged. The table was silent, with no one saying a word back when she snapped her finger. The maid stepped away, leaving us alone. “You all better eat because what the hell is all this?” she nudged.

Jerald's POV The tap on the door told me it was time to leave, and even though I was tempted to stay back and watch my wife sleep for a tad bit longer, I decided against it, knowing that he had to go because of her. I leaned closer. Kissing her gently on her forehead when she moaned out words before sleeping off. I stood upright, pulling the trousers over my boxers before stepping out to meet Father, who was tucked in black pants and a fitted sky-blue top. Whoops. I can see why Mother was always over him because how was he so fit at this age?"Is something wrong?" He asked, gawking at me when I flipped my head, letting him know it was perfect. "So what's the information you have? Where are they? Where are we meeting them?" He asked. I handed him the picture of the warehouse, one of the many we used for our dirty work. "He is there, tied up and still out.""Good," he nodded before stepping out with me on his heels. "Did you try to talk her out of it?" I asked as we got into the

Claire's POV"Will you be back for dinner?" I knew the details were going to be gory, so I didn't want to know about all of that, but I also knew he had to leave as soon as possible. I had decided to stay back, at least until the party was over and we could head back home together, but I didn't want to be kept in the dark, so I had to know what it was he would be doing. My husband turned to look at me. His face was uncertain for a jiffy before he wrapped his hands around me, sniffing me in. "I am going to miss you," he whispered into my ear.I pushed him away gently, knowing that he was trying so hard not to give an answer to the question I just asked. "Will you be back for dinner?""If you are on the menu. "He teased, and I threw my head back in laughter at the tease he was " Fine, I will be on the menu when you get back."He bobbed, looking at me for a while. "You will get one more guard aside from Dainty." I cocked a brow at him. "Nothing is wrong; it's just for your safety. Yo

Jerald's POV "No phones, remember?" Father tapped my arm when I pulled the phone, wanting to peek at it. We have been working for hours, and all I wanted to do was take a break, but I knew that I couldn't. I didn't have the opportunity to slack off, at least not now. Max was handling Machlina just right, and so it was only reasonable that I handle Drandy without any disturbance, so I tucked my phone back into my pocket, letting it sit there. "How is it possible that the shares are falling and no one is selling? Why would no one panic and sell?" I thought that was what most people did when something like this happened. They would sell because they feared what would happen if they didn't, but now everyone was holding onto their shares. I had my reasons to believe that it was because the vote was just days away, but still I thought they would be tempted. "The vote is close, son. No one would want to sell; they will be able to bear whatever losses, at least for now,

Claire's POV "Fuck," I let out just in time for when Dainty slammed the brakes in front of the penthouse. We both stepped out in a rush, bursting into cackles repeatedly at how it seemed we were both on heat all the fucking time. I yelped out when my husband scooped me off the ground like I weighed almost nothing while we made our way into the elevator. He stopped before we got in to turn to Dainty. "You are not laid off, just because my wife decided to placate me and block my head out, but next time...." I bit into my lips knowing what I had planned was out in the open, but I couldn't care, so I leaned closer, covering his lips before he could say something else. I caught Dainty sighing in relief before we got into the elevator. Jerald slipped his tongue into my mouth, letting me suck on it while I had a hand on his buttons, trying to peel off the layers of clothes that were preventing me from getting access to my man. We fought to gain dominance while he kissed me as my fin
