Chapter 9
"Did you speak to her?"Blake Miller asked his daughter as soon as she walked into the villa,the latter looked at him sadly and burst into tears
"I was thrown out of the mall,if I didn't beg for my life I would have been beaten to daeth and all Daddy does is to talk about that shameless pig who destroyed our family name"Her crocodile years were enough to fool anyone but Blake angrily rolled his eyes
Gabby ran up to her daughter and consoled her, Kimora couldn't tell her father Cora now had a friend of high class, when Cora left,she fully became her dad's focus and she definitely won't ruin it for herself,she would just let them keep thinking she worked at the mall as a car cleaner,she cried louder which made Blake roll his eyes in disgust
"Will you stop coaking her lies, we need to find Cora before something bad happens to her" He shouted angrily
"What bad thing thing will you suppose or care will happen to me?"
Blake turned to the direction of the voice,his heart skipped a beat when he realised who it was
Cora lazily walked into the house,she had heard their entire conversation and couldn't help but say something when she heard Blake's concerned voice, if she had been the former stupid Cora,she would have thought he still cared about her,but she was now mature and wiser
Gabby and Blake stared at Cora in shock,she now looked mature and extremely beautiful,a million times better than how she looked when she was staying with them,Gabby quickly rolled her eyes in disgust,She knew Cora must definitely be kept by someone,why else would she look his beautiful
Blake smiled as soon as he saw her appearance, he walked up to her but stopped in shock when Cora held up her right hand to stop him
"If you still desire the little respect I have for you as an elder Mr Miller,you would keep a distance" She said coldly,her sweet voice had changed drastically revealing a scary and cold one,if Blake hadn't known her before he would have fell down in fear, the temperature in the room dropped a hunded degree and everyone present felt cold,Kimora stood still with dumbfoundment, wasn't this the same Cora who she ordered around like a slave,the same Cora who would kneel down and beg for forgiveness her own wrong doings,the Cora she was seeing was different, cold and emotionless,she despised that Cora who was suppose to the broken had grown stronger over the years
"Cora, when did you begin speaking to your father like that,have you forgotten your place,kneel down and apologize"Gabby said angrily,she wondered if Cora had over thought things,she must think the family now needed her and so was trying to be arrogant,well she would show her it was the other way around
Cora couldn't help but laugh in her heart,her place,when did she ever have a place in this family,had they forgotten how they treated her,she felt like a fool for enduring the pain she received all those years
"Gabby,Cora is our guest,and we treats our guests with respect,she has left this family a long time ago but she is still our daughter"Blake's voice sounded loving in everyone's ears and they turned to look at him in shock,even Cora was dumbstruck,what game were this cunning people playing
"Cora please seat, I want to discuss with you, I know about your daughter and your suffering over the years,I have been a bad father,please forgive me"Blake pleaded and beckoned to his wife to join him,Gabby looked at him indifferently,she was really confused at that moment and wondered why he had suddenly changed his mind on Cora, but looking at the murderous look in his eyes,she quickly joined him
"Cora,we have treated you unfairly,we have realised our mistakes and are very sorry, please forgive us"She pleaded also.
Cora wondered why her supposed father and mother couldn't be given awards for best actor and actress of the year,she finally understood their plan,they needed her for something important,why else will they treat her like a dog yesterday and then treat her like a princess today,she rolled her eyes inwardly at the drama they were putting
"Dad, why are you begging her,she's suppose to ask for our forgiveness not the other way around, she has shamed our family and your treating her like a princess,is that humane"Kimora said angrily while giving Cora a disgusted look but she didn't prepare for what came her way, Blake walked up to her and landed a slap across her face making her hold her cheeks in horror
"Are you mad? aren't you suppose to listen to your parents,I can see your mother has filled your head with nonsense aren't you suppose to be like Cora and get a decent job,for a living,I am ashamed to call you my daughter"He shouted, Kimora nooded but Gabby stood up angrily
"Honey, how could you lay your hand on your own daughter,she has followed your own words unlike this shameless rat who sleeps around with men for a living"she insulted
Blake glared at her angrily but she rolled her eyes in anger
Cora smirked at the drama she was watching and sneered
"Enough" Her voice was cold and magnetic, enough to make the whole entire family keep shut in an instant
"I came to give a sound warning to the Miller family,stay away from me and my daughter, I am no more acquainted to this family in any way and so my business shouldn't concern you, if you don't keep your distance,I won't hesitate to fufill mumy therats at all costs"She finally uttered before turning to leave
Blake wanted to follow her but stopped,he knew she wouldn't listen to him,so he sighed and walked upstairs,while his wife followed him to give him a price of her mind
Cora took a deep breath when she stepped out of the mansion,she had finally stood up for herself after all this years,she wouldn't want Nancy to know this despicable people,and so she never told her about them.She hailed a taxi and left not noticing Kimora's angry eyes glaring at her from afar

Arthur walked into his car after the meeting he had attended,he sat lazily and glanced at the door when Sebastian also got in, he felt uncomfortable for a reason, his father had asked him to get married within a year,he had never thought that will ever happen to him.When he was a child, his only thought was having a company of his own and when he became a teenager,he was enthrowned to to take over his father's property,it disgusted him when a woman came close to him and gigged when he passed and this was another reason why he fired most of his female staffs.Finding a bride was a whole different thing and it itched him when he thought about it,he knew his father's threaths were empty but that didn't mean his words weren't true ,his father had made a promise to his mother and he would fufill it no matter what
"Sebastian do you have a woman by your side?"He asked lazily but his voice was very serious
"Y..es Mr..White"Sebastian nodded quickly,he wondered why Mr White had asked him that question, if it were someone else they would have been relieved he had asked something besides business but Sebastian was terrified and wondered what he needed the information for
Suddenly he remembered Kingsley White had asked Arthur to get married
"Sir...I don't mean to put my nose into your matters but can I ask something"Sebastian mumbled,he closed his eyes to wait for a lashing but Arthur's tone calmed him down
"Go on!"Arthur sighed,his ears listened with rapt attention, he thought if he needed relationship advise it had to be form Sebastian
"If I may ask why can't Mr White form a contract marriage, it always works for men who don't want to get married yet, many women would love to be with Mr White and contract marriage is the best option" Sebastian said with a smile but the heat in the car still increased rapidly,the driver who had been listening amusingly hit his head in annoyance
"I don't give myself cheaply to women, I want a marraige that would last,a woman who would take care of my child without leaving me,if I wanted a contract marriage whatstopped me from doing it long before my dad came to pester me"Arthur's harsh and monstrous voice echoed like speakers in Sebastians head,he quickly slapped himself and apologized
"Please forgive my insanity Mr White"He mumbled
The temperature of the car went back to normal and the driver breathed a sigh of relief,he had thought he will have to buy someone's corpse that afternoon
"Send me your personal number,I'll need it from time to time"Arthur instructed and Sebastian quickly took out his phone, after sending Mr White his number,he quickly sent an information opened up a personal message app to the master himself
"Mr Whites Woman Files"
"Ive sent it sir"Sebastian stated and Arthur turned his head away from him, unconsciously his eyes caught a beautiful woman walking away from a villa and his heart couldn't help but miss a beat
