"I won't give up and I will continue to look for ways to bring Kristen down. You will pay for this, Maria!" Stephen thought as he walked into the bathroom to have a shower.The slamming of the door was heard and Mrs. King sighed and then turned her face towards the bathroom. All that was just an act, she knows what her husband can do. She has lived with him for 17 years and if there is anybody who can tell who Stephen King is, it should be her. She doesn't have to pretend anymore, she has to fight to save herself and Kristen. She was getting tired of hiding behind smiles and pretending everything was fine. She couldn't stand it.If she doesn't do something, he will be the end of her and Kristen. Kristen is old enough so it's the right time to tell her what to do to get hold of her father's empire. So instead of going to bed as she has planned, she decided to go talk to Kristen, the earlier the better.She got down from the bed and put on her flip-flops and left the room noiselessly

His question took Frederick a while to understand. Frederick was even surprised that his father asked. He noticed he was not being so angry again but he is not sure if it was a trap to get him, Frederick can't really trust Alexander, his father or can he?"Yeah, I do," Frederick said softly. He didn't know why he was telling his father. He wasn't scared about his father, no more than he used to be. Maybe he felt safe telling him because maybe he can still convince him to end the arrangement with Cassie, even though he knows that the chances are low."Bring her home"And just like that, the call went dead. Frederick slowly pulled the phone away from his ears and stared at it. He wasn't sure he heard him again correctly. "Is my father for real? He wants me to bring my girlfriend home?"Frederick thought to himself and sighed deeply. He is not so sure about this but he has got to try. He hopes it's not his father's ethics to bring him home. His phone rang again and

Kristen walked out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapping around her bosom and another one on her hair. She was looking refreshed. Last night she slept like never before and she has gotten up with a great feeling that the day will go on well for her. A noise from the background made her jump and when she turned towards the noise, she was surprised to see her stepfather at the door, with a smudged look on his face. He looked down at her in distaste as she looked at him with an annoyed frown.He clears his throat and walks towards her. Kristen took a step backward and raised her right hand, indicating for him to stop moving towards her. "What the heck are you doing in my room, Mr. Stephen King?"She questioned viciously and crossed her arms over her chest to stop herself from fidgeting. He didn't even bat an eyelash nor did he reply to her question. "I know you are not deaf, so you can as well answer that question, Mr. King"Stephen chuckled and sat on her bed crossing his

"Kristen and I are getting married?"Larry spilled the water he had in his mouth on himself on hearing what Frederick said. As he had insisted that Frederick feeds him, he got his wish. He just finished now and Frederick thought he should tell Larry before anything else. The last thing Larry expected to hear this morning. He had a hard time believing it."Wait! what!? You are getting married to Kristen?"Frederick nodded slightly as he cracked his knuckles. Larry stood up from the couch and dropped the glass he was holding. "You can't possibly mean that you are getting married to a wh*re, Frederick?" Larry was mad beyond belief, he didn't even notice that his hands were clenched into fists at first. It took a while for him to realize how quiet the living room is. Frederick was just staring at him, wondering why Larry had to be mad. It's not like he is the one getting married to Kristen and it did seem strange that Larry would take it that way. But who would blame Larry, he

Kristen walked into the house carrying a fancy bag and her handbag in the same hand. The house was deserted except for the maids that had one thing or another to do. She ignored their presence and continued to walk but stopped a moment later, "come here" Kristen's voice drew the maids' attention and they all looked up almost immediately.The maid who was named Annabelle came and stood in front of Kristen with her head bowed"Is there anything, Miss Chase?"Annabelle asked nervously."Yeah, just a few things"Kristen said with her usual cheerful voice that Annabelle loved so much while staring at Anna. Annabelle has been here longer than any maid and because of that, she watched Kristen growing up and from all indications, she was happy that Kristen has come back after five years. She wasn't here when Kristen returned yesterday and no one told her that the young miss is around until now. It doesn't matter anyway as far as she is concerned. The maid's uniform made her look young or eve
