“No way she can turn down that performance.”

But Resena was not moved, for the parts Delvoy left out was the abuse and humiliation she’d endured all those years behind their “generosity.” Growing irritated, Resena had a fire burning inside of her! She was not going to back down! Julius was worth her fighting for! Her happiness was worth it! With fire in her eyes, Resena looked directly at her uncle. 

“While I appreciate, you’re taking me in, I will not change my decision. This Friday, I will no longer live here, I thank you for everything you’ve done as I’m sure my husband-to-be will make sure you’re rewarded, have a great night uncle. There are pastries on the counter from the Sun-Berry Bloom.” 

And just like that, Resena walked past her uncle and to her room. There would be no need to have further a discussion, she’d had enough of that conversation. Delvoy stood in the kitchen bewildered, “what had just happened?” but more importantly “what did this mean?” Without an answer to his thoughts, all he could do was stand there. 

As Resena made her way to her bedroom, she suddenly felt proud. This had been the first time she had ever stood up for herself against anybody and now she had just stood her ground against her uncle! She was sure Julius would be proud of her! Pulling out her communicator, she’d decided to call Julius and tell him what had just transpired. 

Julius had just arrived home eager to call Resena, he quickly called Richard Bellman his head servant into the grand room.  

“Good evening, Master Spencer, I trust you had a great day with your new fiancé?” 

“Thank you, Bellman, as a matter of fact I did. Here, these are for you and the staff.” Julius handed Bellman the three boxes of treats he’d purchased from the Sun-Berry. 

“Many thanks sir as I’m sure the staff will truly enjoy this. Will you be needing my services for the remainder of the evening? 

“No, I’m good for the night. Thank you, Bellman.” 

“Sir.” Bellman bowed his head to Julius and made his way to the kitchen, just then, Julius’ communicator began to ring, it was Resena. Eager to hear her voice, he quickly answered. 

“Resena! Hey! I was just about-…” Julius was suddenly cut off by Resena, she’d sounded like she was in a panic. 

“Julius you’re never going to believe what just happened! My uncle and I, well he… he’s completely lost it!” 

“Whoa!! Resena, slow down, now tell me what happened?” 

Julius sat and listened as Resena filled him in on the events that transpired after he dropped her off. He could hardly believe his ears! Lanster had really tried to force her to stay! Julius had Raymon working overtime on the Lansters trying to retrieve as much information as possible. Something was definitely off! Lanster was too stuck on Resena staying in that home until she turned eighteen. Whatever the case, Lanster had certainly overplayed his hand this time. Trying to force Resena to stay in that house by threatening to call off the engagement that infuriated him! And while he was proud of Resena for standing up for herself, he knew her time at the Lansters’ estate had just come to an end. There was no telling what he may do behind her being disobedient, and while Julius hadn’t learned what their overall secrets were, thanks to Raymon, he had a close second for a trump card in case Delvoy had ever tried anything against Resena. That time had now come. Julius had learned the truth behind Lanster’s software company!  

“Resena, pack you a suitcase, I’m coming to get you.” 

Without reservation, Resena quickly responded. 

“Okay. I’ll do so now.” 

After Julius hung up with Resena, he called Bellman back into the grand room, the suite wasn’t quite finished, but Resena could sleep in one of the guest quarters until they were. Bellman arrived back in the grand room quickly; it appeared he and the staff were enjoying the treats, Julius felt guilty about having to disturb him. 

“Yes sir, how can I be of assistance?” 

“I’m sorry for having to bother you, but I’m bringing Resena to the estate tonight. I need one of our guest suites prepared for her.” 

Bellman stood shocked, he’d known his mater’s new fiancé would be moving onto the estate on Friday, so what caused the sudden change? Without hesitation, Julius began to fill him in on what had just transpired. 

“So, you see, I can’t leave her there! It’s no telling what they may do to her!” 

“No further explanation is needed sir. I’ll get the suite on the east villa prepared. Go and retrieve your fiancé, and might I suggest you take Edwin with you.” 

Edwin was Julius’ lead security, he’d supervised Julius’ personal security team and whenever Julius felt additional protection was needed, it was Edwin who would accompany him personally. Though he wasn’t sure he would need it, there was no harm in being on the safe side. Delvoy was clearly beginning to crash, whatever he was in fear of losing should Resena move out prior to being eighteen, he had clearly begun to take desperate measures to secure her stay. 

“I agree, could you call him to the grand room for me, I need to make a quick call to Raymon.”
