A WEEK LATER Alex and everyone else stood as they stared at Blakeley’s grave. It's been a week since her death, and after hearing about her death on the news, they went to the hospital a few days later and took her body. Things have been rough for Alex this week, he could barely step out of his room, eat or do anything. He didn't know he had lots of tears in his eyes cause he cried every time wishing he could turn the hands of the clock and keep his promise to her.He promised her she would be safe around him but he ended up being the reason for her death. He let his father control him till he lost her. He was aware a week ago that she wasn't leaving her room, every night he would stand in front of her room and hear her cry, he would always want to go in so he would wrap his arms around her and tell her everything was going to be okay but his pride wouldn't let him. Also his greed for what he was after also stopped him.He planned on making up with her after the wedding and when it
“What do you mean you haven't made a decision yet?” Dante asked.“I just haven't. We will be having our normal family dinner tonight, I will announce it then.” He said.“In front of everyone?” Dante asked and his father raised a brow.“You’ve got a problem with that?” He asked.“No sir.” He replied immediately.“I do. I fucking do. Can we just get this over with?” Alex asked, he was starting to get mad already. The thought of this being part of the reason Blakeley died was making him lose his mind.“Excuse me.” His father asked and he ran his hands through his hair, he was restless and his hand started to shake.“My wife fucking died because… “ He trailed off as tears welled up in his eyes, he had never been this emotional, he couldn't even think of Blakeley without having tears well up in his eyes.He scoffed and rolled his eyes, he looked away from them so they wouldn't see the tears, his father chuckled and stood up then walked to him.Alex stared at his father with tears and his f
“What?” Mr. Xanders asked.“Austin is my son.” He said again and turned to Kiara who kept her head bowed.“What?” His father asked again.“Mum knows about it too, Alex isn't Austin’s father, it is me.” Dante said and Mrs. Xanders sighed. Alex paused as he tried to process what he just heard, he slowly chuckled and turned to Kiara who was next to him with her head bowed.“Look at me.” He said softly and she slowly looked up at him with fear in her eyes.“Who is Austin’s father?” He asked and her lips trembled.“Dante.” She replied and Alex sighed, he looked away from her and ran his hands through his hair. “Mum.” Austin called as he looked back and forth between Dante and his mother. “You knew about this?” Mr. Xanders asked his wife and she didn't say a word, she looked away from them.“Dante, what is going on?” His wife asked and he didn't give her a response.“One of you, start talking.” Mr. Xanders ordered with a stern look.“Whe… when we were in college and I was dating Alex, I w
She exhaled with a smile on her face as she fell back on her chair, she slowly placed her legs on her table and had them crossed. The smile on her face grew wider as she enjoyed the feeling, she felt at peace. At this point, there was no worry, no doubt, no sorrow, finally, she got what she loved most in the world.Peace.She chuckled with her eyes still closed, she would really cherish this moment forever, as long as… She suddenly heard cries and she still chuckled and ignored it.“It's all good, as long as I ignore it.” She said and remained in her position. The cries became louder and she still ignored it.“Still all good.” She mumbled with a smile.“Okay, that’s it.” She groaned and stood up, she walked out of her study and headed to the living room. She got there and met her daughter crying as her brother had a smile on his face and watched her cry. She sighed loudly and they noticed get presence.“Mum.” The little girl cried and rushed to her, she wrapped her tiny arms around
The whole day went well, just like every other day, Miss Hunter made her way out of her company with her assistant carrying her things, they got to the car and her assistant handed them to her. She got into her car and drove off. On her way home, she stopped at a cake shop and got her children a cake. She knows how much they love cake so much. She got other things for them and headed out. She finally got home and as she walked out of the car, she met her children at the door. Most days, they welcome her by rushing out of the door when her car drives in, and sometimes, they just wait for her to walk in.She smiled at them and carried out all the things she bought from the car.As she got to them, Bryar hugged her immediately. “Let's go in.” She muttered and they all walked in. “Here you go.” She said placing the cake on the table.“So how was today?” She asked with a smile as they happily ate the cake. Bryan shrugged and looked up at her.“Same as always.” He replied. She trained
NEW YORK CITYAlex sat in his office as he ran his hands through his hair continuously. He stared at the loads of paperwork in front of him and sighed, he had been absent from his company for the past one week, he just didn't feel like doing anything so he stayed home for a week.The door to his office suddenly opened and Scott rushed in, Alex looked up at him and gave him a questioning look.“Dude.” Scott called and handed his phone to Alex, Alex stared at the screen and he slowly furrowed his brows. “Another one?” He asked and Scott nodded in response.“Yeah, the third this week.” “What the fuck?” Alex muttered.“Each of them are gangsters we have had business with before and they all keep getting killed by the same person, in the same way. A bullet in the head, and flowers next to the body. “Black roses, Bird’s foot trefoil and Baby’s breath.” Alex muttered.“Something is wrong Alex.” Scott said and Alex handed the phone back to him.“It is just in Fiji right? We can't be sure y
Blakeley kept glancing at her children as they all ate dinner quietly, she stared at Bryan who hadn't spared her a look for a while. She sighed heavily thinking he would look up at her but he didn't, only Bryar looked up.“Mum, are you okay?” She asked and Blakeley smiled.“I’m fine baby.” She replied and Bryar continued with her meal, she made noises with her fork on her plate and still, he didn't look up at her. Bryar glanced at her mother and then at Bryan and noticed why she was making noises.“We are going to Las Vegas tomorrow.” Blakeley announced and Bryan looked up at her immediately but didn't say a word.“What? Really?” Bryar asked widening her ocean eyes. “Yeah, we will spend a few days there and come back to Fiji.”“We won't be locked up in a hotel suite?” Bryan asked.“No, we will do anything you guys want us to do.” She replied and his face suddenly lit up.“Finally.” Blakeley sighed in relief in her head.“Wow, I am so excited.” Bryar giggled.“Yeah, me too.” Bryan r
The kids sat on the couch with different meals in front of them as they watched a cartoon show, their mother was in the shower getting ready, they had already gotten ready and were excited to see where their mother would be taking them.“Can you please pass me the jam?” Bryar asked her brother and he turned to her.“You don't have to be too polite about it, I will pass it to you anyway.” Bryan replied and handed her the jam.“Thank you.” She said with a smile and he nodded.The news suddenly interrupted their show and they groaned loudly.“What?” Blakeley asked as she walked out of the shower wearing her robe.“The news is on.” Bryan replied and she walked closer to them and paid attention to it.“Last night in Vegas, something unexpected happened. There has been news from Fiji about an anonymous killer who kills gangsters. Last night, there was a murder at a hotel, a gangster was a victim and a lady who hadn't been identified yet. Next to the body were roses. The killer was caught on
