Accidental Bride( A Christmas Bride) Some Sort Of Circle
Their orders came and they all settled to eat their breakfast. Jerry waited for Alex and Ander to begin eating before he could start. Ander told himself he was not going to leave anything on his plate because not every time one comes across good food in a classy restaurant. This, he knew, was someone's daily breakfast. Ander's mood changed the moment he remembered what he found out at Jarden's penthouse. He and Alex were not poor as it was made for them to believe. He suddenly lost his appetite. Alex watched him as his mood changed from happy to angry. She could tell that Ander was clenching his fist because a mere look at the form in his hand, she could tell that. "Ander," she whispered to him. Ander looked at her and smiled, "yes, sis.""Are you okay?""Hundred percent okay," he replied and tried relaxing in order for Alex not to become more suspicious as she was already. After a moment he began eating. Jerry had not said a word as he focused on his meal. Their breakfast tim

Josh ran out of the restaurant, hoping to see Alex and Ander but no glimpse of them in sight. He was confused about where they had gone. Jerry joined him outside, breathing heavily. He had run outside too. "Where are you going running like that, man?'"I am looking for my wife. I can't find her.""Why don't you call her to know where she is," Jerry suggested and Josh hurriedly soothe for his phone. He called Alex but she did not pick it up, he called again yet no reply. "She is not picking. I seriously need to talk to her," Josh said gobbly. Jerry squeezed his shoulders and smiled at him, "just chill, I have known Alex. She is not the time that wants to stay away from someone she cares so much about. Just give her time, she will come around.""That's the point. I need to settle this with her now. If it lingers, it's a problem for me.""Excuse Sirs, I bet this belongs to any of you." Jerry and Josh heard and turned toward the voice. It was the security at the entrance, hand

Alex sighed and squatted before her father. "Dad, happy birthday to you. I know you might probably be disappointed in Ander and me for losing the box but I tell you we don't know how it disappeared but I know one thing for sure, we will get to the root of this matter and find your Killers and probably unite with your father. You are here today because of the sacrifice you made, you and mom chose us over your life and we are grateful for that and I promise that will make you proud. I probably didn't tell you that I am married, see my ring." She said, waving her ring finger,"I married unexpectedly and I am not sure anymore if I made the right decision. I know marriage is for better or for worse but what happens where it just has to be the other person than you? It hurts to find out that someone else is in the life of those we love. If possible, at this point tell me what to do." Ander watched his sister break down and wished there was something he could get to do to take the pain

Jarden has been driving for almost fifteen minutes now. No word from any of them. The silence was deafening and suffocating.Jarden cleared his voice, "Grandfather, do you think he knows?""I think he knows and I don't have a good feeling about it. He looked as if he was going to murder someone when he realized that we were the one." Mr. Devon said."But Boss, don't you think it's time to let them know," Jarden said, switching from informal to formal. "I see you want the world to know who you are, Homer?" Mr. Devon smirked and Jarden sighed, "it's not that, boss. After all, we are the only ones here. It's not like the world can hear us and figure the mysterious Boss out." "My dear Homer, you have forgotten that the walls have ears and news travels faster than the windows since you have decided to let the world know that I am THE BOSS, be ready to explain to Alex why you were always stalking her and pretending to be Mr. Max."Jarden clenched his fist on the Steering wheel.

Josh dropped his car key and slumped over in bed. He was in chaos as he didn't know how to settle this issue he has with Alex. The worse part, she was not her phone which would have made it better to locate her. And again, she being out there, she was not safe. He has just known Alex for five days, and he was not sure what she was capable of and now that her childhood sweetheart was here, his fears kept increasing. "What if she finds comfort in him and doesn't want to have anything to do with me?" He wondered. *********** Familiarity hit Alex and she smiled. Home sweet home. "How come we suddenly become visitors in our home?" Ander asked with a deep frown on his face. Alex turned to face him and shook her head. She dropped the key by the door side and jammed it close and then walked into the small living room. "What are you talking about, Ander?" She asked after sitting down.Ander looked at her for some time and sat too."I mean, we don't sleep her

Jarden stared at his grandfather to know if the man was hallucinating or not. "Jarden, I mean Homer or should I call you, Max? Any one you choose to answer, please sit down." Jarden got himself seated on the couch and looked up at his grandfather. "Did he resurrect?""I think he did, after over forty years of being dead. Well, I knew he never died. The fool just wanted to fool everyone and pretend to be dead." Jarden cleaned his eyes over and over again. It was hard for him to believe. People fake their death, right? But that's if their life is in danger but this one just fakes his for a reason best known to him. "So what's the next plan, grandfather?" Jarden asked after some time."William is not my problem. You know who it is. I would not waste time chasing a big-time fool. We have got something to take care of."Jarden sighed and closed his eyes. "Grandfather, mom, and dad will be home by evening," Jarden said and the only thing Mr. Devon could do was just stare a

The moment she settled down, ZICO came down to meet her with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. He smiled at her because he met her as he left her. She might not be bad after all. He might have judged her wrongly."I see you are still here, I was thinking that by the time I will be back, you might have changed your mind and left." Christy smiled at him cheekily, "I wouldn't do that but can I ask you a question?" After a moment of silence, he looked away from her. By then he had set the glass wine cup and the wine beside him"Go ahead," ZICO said and she sighed. "I know I have no right to ask but I want to know, what about your wife and family?"Her sole arm is to know anything about his past lover. If he ever had a family? ZICO grinned and sat up, "I have a son, a grown-up son but his mother died when he was barely a month old."Christy felt bad hearing that from him."I am so sorry about your loss but did you kind of remarry, you know? Taking care of a child that is b

"Luke, stop being this man you are and go home. When I need you, I let you know. You can't be coming here. There is something I am working on, how to bring the Bleak down, when I am done with it, I will let you know and you will take it from there."Luke shrugged off his shoulders and stood up, "alright, I am just one call away. I am itching to get this down and my patience is running out so be fast with whatever you are doing or I will do it my own way."ZICO needed not to argue with him and walked him to the door. He opened the door and Luke bowed and then walked out of the door smiling. After ZICO closed the door, the smile slipped off his face and he masked it with anger. Christy, who clutched her purse as she walked out of her own apartment came face to face with Luke and she stopped to screen him. She was surprised to see him here again after he left not quite long ago."Maybe he did not see what he was looking for and he came back to ask Mr. John." She concluded for the

31 December…. It was seven in the morning and Luke stood in the middle of his room staring at the fake will his lawyer had passed across to him not long ago. He had signed the document and told William of the latest development. William had told him to meet him right away. He pulled his jacket up and walked out of the room with the files in his hand. He walked past his grandfather without saying anything and continued walking down the stairs. Senior Bleak did not even mind and continued his way up the stairs. Luke walked to the box of keys and picked up Josh's car. He was not boarding any cab today. His car and that of Christy will arrive today unfailingly. He strolled outside and walked towards Josh's car, got in, and drove away. In less than twenty minutes, he was at William's hideout. He parked and walked in through the secret entrance. Getting inside, William was waiting for him. "That was so fast, you did what your father could not do in just a day. I am proud of you,"

Stacy Jackson stood shocked as her father handed her traveling documents and a permanent resident card for her sudden trip to Australia. He did not even allow her to come inside the house. "Dad, what is all this?" She asked in a high-pitched voice. "Young lady, don't raise your voice at me. You leaving GreyWave, it's what it is," he responded without any emotion in his voice. He had vowed in his heart that no daughter of his would be a nuisance and since Stacy couldn't stop being one in Greywave, it was better he sends her off to Australia to go live there. From now onwards she ceased to be a resident of GreyWave. Let him see how she will be running after Josh Bleak. "Dad, I don't understand what you are trying to do. I haven't done anything wrong.

I don't want to see anything close to you her
Accidental Bride( A Christmas Bride) Things Falling Into Place
Christy managed and stripped off her dress and went into the bathroom to freshen up. She did not take time, she came out as soon as she entered. One would actually think that she did not shower at all but the water drops on her body will change your mind. She put on a simple gown and went out of her room. Bobby and Gab with Mrs. Matilda sat at the dining table with Erica absent. Christy took a seat opposite her mother while Gab kept staring at her with a smirk on. She ignored him totally and forced her mind to focus on how to break the news to the family. Erica appeared a moment later and sat beside Christy and gave her a sweet smile. "You can as well put a smile on your face please," Erica whispered and Christy nodded. "Shall we eat now?" Bobby said, putting his phone inside his pocket. "Of Course, we should," Mrs. Matilda responded and asked Maria to dish out the food for them. Lunch was off Black Pudding; a meal made from blood sausage of animals, cerea

James drove into the National park and parked and then looked at Alex. She had gone back to being gloomy and he was not quite happy about it. "We are here, do you need any special thing you want me to do for you?" Alex smiled at him and got her purse."Not really, I will help myself through," she said and got down and started walking towards the park restaurant. A man with a black hood on stood in the opposite direction and pretended to be getting a ticket when Alex walked past him. Alex felt some chill down her spine when she passed the guy but continued walking into the restaurants regardless. The national park was filled with brims because of the holiday Families were soon having fun together.The national park was built in a way that it had everything starting from the Kiddies' arena to the adult arena, lodge, and eatery too.Alex got into the restaurant and ordered wine and chips.

Accidental Bride( A Christmas Bride) Christy And Her Nephews
Josh walked into Senior Bleak's study and found his grandfather bent on something. "Grandfather, you send for me," he said and Senior Bleak looked up at him. "Yes, I did. Get your father for me," Senior said and waved him off. Josh turned and left. Getting to his father's room, he saw him pacing around with his mom under the duvet. The atmosphere was a bit tense. "Father, Grandfather wants to see you," he said to his father and made to leave but his father's words stopped. "I heard you both are getting a divorce?""Yes, we are," Josh responded and waited to hear his father lash at him but JB did the opposite, he shrugged his shoulders. "Do what you think is the best," JB said and Josh was shocked by his father's reaction. This was unlike him. Things were going at a fast pace and he was just realizing it. Ever since the truth was out, relationships began to break. Susan glared at her husband and threw her face away. Instead of asking Josh why, he was telling Josh
Accidental Bride( A Christmas Bride) Life Layers
Josh was beyond reasoning. He could not hold himself anymore. The man standing in his front used to ask questions before dishing out blames but since he found his grandkids, he changed, it just has to be about them. Josh felt he was no longer his grandfather who nurtured and loved him. "I see where this is coming from. Alex was right. When you are done with your nonsense, meet me in the study, and as for the divorce, I will make sure it happens because I am the reason you both got married in the first place," Senior Bleak said and walked out of his grandson's room "The young man's sense of reasoning had been clouded with jealousy. A man that is jealous of his wife is not fit to remain married to her," Senior Bleak concluded.Josh kicked the bed and raced down everything on Alex's dressing table. This was more than he could take. It had always been him and no one else, he should better go back to the old Josh. The one who didn't care about love. His holidays were over fo
Accidental Bride( A Christmas Bride) Beyond Reasoning
Alex stood outside the door and let her tears flow. She stared at her wedding finger, her ring was not gone. She had returned it to the man who gave it to her. The man who had openly loved her for five days, the man who had suddenly lost interest in her because he figured that she belonged to the top and was threatened by it and that maybe, she would be chosen over him. Someone who claims to love you would not stop loving you because a table has been turned around in your life. That's what with the rich dudes, they want a trophy wife and once they realize that you wouldn't be or there was every tendency you will be richer than them, they will oppress you to the extent that your sanity will be forever gone from you. For a moment, Alex thought things would be fine but finding who she was had taken more happiness than it had given but no matter how hard it was for her to forget what had just happened, she would forget eventually. She thought of taking a vacation but decide
Accidental Bride( A Christmas Bride) First Lunch As Devon
The Devon family members sat round the dining table as they had lunch. It was not lunch time but Mr. Devon insisted because of Ander. Ander had seen more than he expected. The whole family was hell-bent on making him happy and as well making him feel at home. Devon was definitely planning something big for Alex and Ander but he was the only one aware of it. He wanted to take his family by surprise. The lunch was over and they left the dining room one after the other to the living room. "So Ander, I was thinking if you should live here but if you choose to live at the other place, it's your choice," Henry said and looked at his father. Ander hasn't really thought about coming in to live at the Devon's Mansion. He had gotten used to his maternal home. "It does not necessarily mean I have to stay here permanently. I could live where I want," Ander said, looking from one person to another. "You are right. You have options to choose from. I am just trying to tell you th

"Can I ask you for a favor?" She asked, looking so humble, she just had to be that way so that he could grant her the request. "What favor?""Can I take a selfie with you?" Adeana asked."Sure, you can."Josh gave her permission and she took a couple of selfies. After that, she pecked him on the cheek and stepped down. "Thanks for today," she waved at Josh, Josh nodded and drove away. Josh left and the smile on her face got replaced with a smirk. "Men like you are easy to trick, you have trusted me so much that you told me your little secret. I don't mean bad, just that I am beginning to like you," she murmured and walked towards her apartment. Josh could not stop thinking about what Adeana said. He just realized that he couldn't vouch for his wife because he didn't know her that much. "What if Adeana was right?" He kept asking. Something at the back of his mind told him that she might be right. If Alex could not deny it then there was definitely something and th
