Arriving before a boutique, faith walked in with her head held high. She was proud by nature depending on what she had and has aquired. Claire could only follow suit, not daring to look at anyone's face at the moment. Her mother was right, they had no one except themselves.
Only if her mother could see what is going on here now, she wouldn't make these mistake of touching Elsa ever again. "Oh... Faith my dear, you never said you wanted to shop, I would have sent my finest dress to you!" Lawrence walked up to her as both women exchanged hugs and kind gestures.
"I didn't know I would shop myself until she came to stay!" She turned around and met Claire's gaze, so did Lawrence. "Isn't that Florence's child?" Lawrence whispered but enough for Claire to hear.
"Oh yes it is!" Came Faith's short response. "She let you parade her daughter around?" Lawrence asked cause she knew who Mrs Willow was. Florence was not a mother that jokes when it came to her only daughter!"
"Oh no my dear, you see, her mother has been taken to a slave establishment by her in-law and she's not coming out anytime soon. Unless of course someone pleads on her behalf so I'm forced to take care of the girl!" Faith rolled her eyes.
"Poor woman, I wonder how prideful she'll be to her fellow slaves?" "Hahahahahaha" both women laughed. "So what about the girl?"
"What about her?"
"Oh my dear friend, a daughter of a slave should be turned to a maid. She's of no importance to the society rather a liability to your family!"
Claire watched both women talk about her like she wasn't sitted before them. If her mother was here, then they wouldn't have done this to her.
They got out of the shop with Claire holding lots of bags which non of the clothes in there belonged to her. "You know I and your mother used to play a game when we were much younger, it was TRW!" Faith smiled bitterly.
How could she forget those games, were Florence mocked her and belittled her cause they were richer. They were best friends but now she thought about it, the only reason they were friends was cause they had a common enemy Lou. Both women hated Lou for no possible reason and their plot against her began.
Now faith had the chance to pay Florence back for all the harm she caused her and her revenge was going to the little Florence sitted next to her. No one except her saw the evil her mother has managed to plant in her heart. The girl would be worst than the mother, faith just knew.
They arrived back at home, feeling so exhausted Claire went back to her room. Their last school exams were coming so was Prom, it was her dream to be the prom queen in her class, but how could she with everything going on now? If only she had access to her parents account.
Stepping out of her room Elsa walked down the grand stairs to the formal dining room. It's been long since she's got to eat with large people on the table. It's usually just she and Liam and most times only her, that's whenever Liam's busy.
She was happy to be here with the people she recognizes as her family since the departure of her parents. With a sweet smile on her lips, "Good morning Mother and Father!" She greeted for both people to smile at her.
The two girls exchanged greetings after their long talk yesterday where Elsa had to finally open up to her best friends about her self and everything she's done with liam, and surprisingly Jesse gave her the advises she never thought her inexperienced friend would. She spoke so maturely like an experienced person, which made Elsa doubt her a little.
"Good morning my love, how was your night?" Maria asked with a smile.
"It was fun!" It was indeed a fun night in Liam's shirt which she still has on, and in his room. She was so excited about her upcoming birthday party and what surprises she'd be getting.
"We'd go out for shopping later, so get ready loves!" Maria said to her daughters for both girls to smile. They loved it when their mother take them out for shopping.
"We don't need a large party filled with enemies honey, remember your son's words!" At that Donovan excused himself from the table.
.
"You have no idea what it means for your father to always rate you with that man do you?" Rafael spoke furiously taking a sip of his liquid. He grew up competing with a man who was older than he is. His father despised him cause of this same man. And now he's deprived of his inheritance cause of this man.
He's thought of ways to kill the man out of the way so he could get his sanity back, but all his plans failed. When he thought of hurting him in a place that could break him, his plans still failed and his accomplice ended up in the slave establishment. Rafael was going insane, his major target was Liam and no other.
If no one could bring the man down then he certainly will. He wouldn't give up even to his last breath, cause he knew his happiness will come once the man is out of earth and back to hell where he belongs. That would be his gift to the man, sending him back to hell.
"If you can't get to Mr Black, you should be able to get to his wife. It's her birthday tomorrow and you're already invited!" Elena said observing his reaction. Just as Lydia has instructed, they would use Rafael to get back at Liam.
Lyida didn't think Liam would try to kill her, infact the moment he got up, she was the first person he had attacked like he had her on his mind before that time. And seeing him again today he had said she would die by him and he would make sure of that.
Everybody knows Liam doesn't make empty threats as he barely says a word to anyone. And what annoys them the most was that the man has protected his only weakness in a way they could not touch it or harm her. The little girl was no fool either cause she knew what her husband was doing and she never complained.
Sitted with Rafael and her cousin, Lydia was furious all she wanted was revenge for the humiliation she has been put through. Those who rated her before now mocked her, as even the people lower than her bodyguards in status now challenged her.
She has not been able to raise her face at anyone since the incident with Liam. News spread like wild fire and she was yet to find out the idiot that started the gossip of her fleeing away from Beuforts mansion after being shot by Mr Black himself.
She hated Liam with everything in her and could kill him If she had the chance to right now.
.
Florence stared at the man before her, she couldn't believe Mr Black himself would come to see her after keeping her here for days now. Even if she's thought of bringing down her pride to apologize when next she sees him, she just couldn't see herself doing it. Not after everything this man has done to them. How can she apologize for taking revenge?
She refuse to be at the mercy of this man.
"What is your mission Mr Black, to kill me?" She asked agitated. "What do you think?" He asked slogishly his black deadly eyes stared intently at her. The only reason he was here was to see her suffer and cry before him. But the woman did otherwise, which was surprising. Or was she pretending?
He had asked them to turture her and do to her everything she had planned for his wife in double but she didn't look like one under turture. Liam smiled at the woman inwardly, her punishment has only began that's why she still had the guts to talk to him. Maybe if she stays in here longer, she would learn her lessons.
He would find the person keeping her healthy in her and cut his tongue himself.
"You're a coward, what happened to all the men you fight with. You should be ashamed your strength is only for women!" She wanted to poke him more to his limit, forgetting the man sitted before her was no ordinary one.
Insults or opinions from people who didn't matter was nothing to him.
He wondered why this people were too adamant on hurting his wife. That little woman was more than his wife, she was his all, the key to his happiness and when she tries her silly fights with him, it only makes him happier cause that's just a sign of a more healthy relationship.
He loved Elsa more than himself and is ready to destroy a full city of anything happens to her, but then will he be able to do that?
Anyone who poses as a threat to her would be eliminated by him. "Like I said before, you're lucky my love asked me not to kill anyone anymore!" "Maybe staying here a little longer would teach you how to respect ascendancy!" He rose up, his black eyes still on the woman sitted before him.
"Draco!"
"Yes master!"
"You're not doing a good job with this woman, triple her punishment in all aspects and get me the betrayer!" He walked away. Florence heart sinked at his words, the punishment she was getting was too much on her and now they were going to triple it.
Was Liam trying to kill her, but not from his own hands?
