Chapter 27
Now Enjoy;
“I will make her pay for humiliating me publicly” he thought angrily. He really felt like killing people, he felt like making Daphne scream his name beneath him on bed. An evil thought came to his mind and he chuckled and walked out of the hall.
Different murmurs filled the air as everyone departed the hall. Someone pulled Daphne away from the crowd leaving Maison to wander around the crowd.
“Where is Daphne ?” Olivia asked Maison.
“I’m also wondering where she disappeared to.
“But she was with you a while ago” Allison asked looking around.
“I’m also confused,” Maison mumbled.

She gave her a heavy knock and she winced loudly.
“Are you nuts ??” She yelled at Daphne who was shocked beyond words.
“What came over you ? Someone you should be bowing to every minute. You should be thankful he decided to let you stay. You should know your limits or else you will end up like Jocelyn. And there’s nothing you will do, because he’s stronger than you, he’s the leader here and he controls everyone’s life here as long as you are under him. This was how Jocelyn started, thinking she can change him, or make him love her —
“I’m not trying to make him love me” Daphne interrupted.
“And so! You are acting as if you want him to know you. Of course he will, is either you end up being his mistress or his s*x toy. Emerson doesn’t crack jokes and he hardly smiles. Jocelyn thought growing up with him will make him nicer to her but it was otherwise. She started acting bossy to his subordinates despite knowing the rules.
He took her in as a mistress. Everyone knows he has a small spot for her but it vanished when she removed her womb just because he said he wasn’t ready to father a child.
“In other words, what I’m trying to tell you is that you need to be careful and watch who you speak to. Emerson isn’t like Allison or Hudson, perhaps your boyfriend. Emerson is Emerson and he’s known for being ruthless.
” I will suggest you apologize to him before he thinks of ruining your stay here. Thankfully, he’s shortened the years we members are spending” Clarissa said.
“How many years ?” Daphne asked.
“It was five years ago but now it’s three years.
“Thanks for the piece of advice. I appreciate it a lot. Thought he’s going to change” Daphne mumbled.
“In your dreams” Clarissa said as she walked away.
Daphne’s heartbeat was faster than before.
“What she said is true, I just need to excuse myself, perhaps distance myself from him,” she thought and headed back to the hall.
“Where the hell did you disappear to ?” Maison said with a frown on his face.
“I went to walk around the hall,” she replied as she stopped in front of them.
“Why did you cut your hair ?” Olivia asked with a serious expression on her face.
“Felt like cutting it” she mumbled and silently locked her hands with Maison.
“Let’s get out of here,” Allison said as she walked ahead of them.

“Enough Jocelyn” Hazel screamed up her hand in the air.
“Why! Why !! .” Jocelyn roared bitterly.
“Because all that I can see in you is obsessiveness, twinnie,” Hazel called gently.
“I’m not obsessed. I love him, trust me Hazel” Jocelyn cried as she took a seat.
“We know you love him but he doesn’t. Can’t you see reality here?” Skylar interrupted with a furious expression.
“You won’t understand,” Jocelyn mumbled.
“Understand what? What’s there to understand? Emerson doesn’t have a heart, he’s cold-hearted.” Skylar mumbled to her right ear.
“Do you think he’s in love with that newbie ?” Jocelyn asked foolishly.
“Newbie!!” Hazel and Skylar exclaimed scoffed.
“I don’t think so,” they said at the same time.
“What if she’s the reason why he’s acting that way towards me ??” She added.
“Do you have anything against the innocent girl ?” Skylar rolled her eyes as she lay back on her bed.
“Don’t worry Jocelyn,” Hazel said as she picked up three pills.
“Here, have your drug and take a rest” she added and put them on her palms. Jocelyn laid down on the bed the moment she felt dizzy. Hazel went to her wardrobe.
“Are you moving already?” Skylar asked with her glue on her.
“Won’t you get out of here ? Her roommates will be here in the next one hour” Hazel scoffed and ignored her. Skylar stood up and started packing her things.

Emerson lay on his bed doing nothing. But he was lost in thought, he thought of painting and stood up. He grabbed his phone that was beside his pillow and inserted it in his pocket.
He heard a knock on his door, which made him stop walking.
“Who’s there ?”
“It’s from boss Hudson” the voice said from outside. He walked to his door quickly and opened the door.
“Where is he ?” Emerson asked looking behind him in case Hudson might be behind him.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“He said he will visit you tomorrow morning and that he needs to take today off. ” He delivered with a bow. Emerson heaved a sigh and signaled him to go.
He was about to shut the door when a leg was stuck in between it which stopped the movement of the door. Emerson turned around. He was shocked at the least person he wanted to see.
“You?” He muttered with a shocking expression but he waved it off and had a serious expression on his face.
“What do you want ? And what are you doing here ?” Emerson asked, still holding the door.
“I came to apologize,” she said, still having her face glued to the ground. He chuckled and replied to her.
“You can go ” Emerson said as he made an attempt to close the door when she pushed it widely and ran in and shut the door with a heavy breath.
“What’s that for ?” Emerson asked furiously.
“My sisters,” she mumbled, still breathing heavily.
“How many sisters do you have now ?” Emerson asked as he found their conversation interesting and tempting.
“I have three now, but two of them are coming–
“Which are ?” He interrupted.
“Olivia and Allison, Serenity isn’t among them” she replied and continued.
“They can’t see me here” she rushed her words as she found her hand and feet watery.
“So! You came to apologize” Emerson said and placed his hand on the door handle but Daphne was fast enough to touch his hand in order to stop him.
She kept shaking her head.
“No! No!! You can’t open the door please. They don’t know I came to apologize” she added with a pleading eyes.
(Knock knock)
“They are here, they are behind me” Daphne panicked as she had her back to the door.
“Stay still. He paused and continued.
“I will make them move away,” he whispered.
“How” she whispered.
“You need to moan” he whispered. Words were left hanging in Daphne’s throat.
