Luke knew that if he was aware of what he found out in the morning, Bianca would not have been here. He was still going to find what Jessica Coker's photo was doing in his father's room. ZICO had an explanation to do and he would take it slowly. While Mr. Wills and Mr. William think he is with them, he would dig out the hidden secrets. Only then would he make up with his family? Though the way he was going, his grandfather might get fed up with him soonest, he just prayed that the game would be over by then. His mind went to the lady he locked up in his room and he frowned. Luke did the wrong thing by locking her up, she was not his prisoner but all these were acts he was putting up for his grandfather to think he was not with The Bleaks."Christy darling, I am sorry," He muttered pitifully. ******** Stacy came down from the cab and paid the man and then walked into the mansion to meet her father waiting for her at the sitout with no smile on his face. Stacy quickly knew that all wa
Moriah came back bearing a tray of food with a sweet smile plastered on her face. She kept it beside Alex and sat down, "I don't really have good food in the house. Please manage this one.""I would have said don't worry but I know you, you won't hear of it. I will take anything you give me." Alex said and opened the dish. It was rice and sauce. She smiled thankfully to her and picked up her spoon. "You look good, I must confess. What have you been feeding on?"Alex scooped a spoonful of rice into her mouth and chuckled, "normal food.""I see. That's nice. Enjoy your meal, I will be right back," Moriah said and left Alex alone.Alex took another spoonful of rice and another one then like that she finished the meal in a few seconds. She did not eat lunch which might have added to her appetite. She picked up the tray after taking a drink of water and headed into Moriah's kitchen. Alex knew her way around her. Within a few minutes, she was back in the living room to wait for M
"Guess what, I am ten today and dad had made me a promise to take me round his business empires. It makes me want to be old and be like him. Hopefully, someday I will be like him. I love you so much, dad."Ander smiled and flipped to another page. "Since I was a baby to nine years plus age, I have never been this scared in my life. Dad does not see that his friend has evil intentions against him. I wish I could tell him but he would think I am out of my life." This was two days after Peters celebrated his ten-year birthday. Ander wondered who could be this frenemy his supposed Grandfather had. Ander got to another page, "for ten days now, he has not come around. I wish he would never come around ever again. His smiles creep me out and he has this evil laughter that I can't stand. Too bad, dad is not seeing who he truly is." Ander continued to flip and most of the things Peters wrote were his happiest moments, why he loved his dad, and his promises to be a good dude when he finally
It was clear to Luke now that his grandfather was the one good. Wills Worth and his father can go to hell and burn to ashes. "So who is going to serve them the court papers?" "You, of course, have to employ the best lawyer and when all of these are over, you know what will be your gain, the heir to the Bleak corporation," ZICO said and stood up followed by Luke."I understand, I will get to you as soon as possible. Latest tomorrow," Luke said assuring. ZICO nodded his head and led him to the door and bid him farewell. After Luke left, ZICO smiled mischievously. "Luke, I'm sorry to disappoint you but you are also a Bleak and I tell you when I lay my hands on all that Mr. Peter has, my father and you, I will have to deal with both of you. I can't suffer my whole life just to be a middleman." ********** Josh drove through the big gate and killed the engine. Ander got down and said no word of whatsoever and walked into the mansion. It was evening and he co
Alex blinked and shook her head. she did not understand why she had to stare like that. it was rude of her to behave in an uncivilized manner. She tried smiling but failed."I am sorry I had to stare like that. I was passing and I heard noises, I thought maybe you were in trouble but thank goodness you are not," she rambled nervously. Christy walked to her and touched her face, "Erica!"Alex widened her eyes and stepped back a little, "sorry, I am Alex, not Erica.""I know you are not Erica but you looked so much like my sister," Christy said and rushed to her bag at the foot of the bed and grabbed it, looking for her phone. When she found her phone, she unlocked it and showed Alex the picture of her sister. Alex stared at the picture and frowned. There was no doubt that the woman in that photo was her mom but she knew her mom died five years back and she was at the funeral service and saw her buried, it could not be her mother unless the dead do come back. "I am sorry to
Mr. Devon watched his grandson from his control room as he battled at the gate. He had decided to put a password on the gate for a reason best known to him and he was impressed that Ander guessed it correctly. Ander got to the entrance and stood, waiting to be given access to the mansion by the security men at the entrance. He did not state who he was, he only stated why he was there. When he was scanned through and nothing harmful was found on him, they sent him in. He walked into the biggest sitting room he has ever seen. He was not there to admire anything, he was just there to see the man and probably asked him what their offense is for abandoning them and then leaving afterwards. He did not have to wait for long when his supposed Grandfather came down looking younger than he was supposed to look. He just had this stern look on his face. Ander stared at him for some time and looked away. "Good evening to you, I am sorry to barge in on you like this and sorry I guesse
Alex got to the kitchen and saw the maids preparing dinner. Well, it was not good for her because she knew that there was no amount of preaching she would do that would stop them from helping her prepare something for Josh. She had in mind to get something for Josh and as it was now, mission impossible. There was no way she would allow them to help her and there was no way they would allow her to do anything as far as they were in the kitchen. They had not seen her yet so she pretended as if she did not notice them and walked straight to the cabinet to get a mug. "Good evening, young Miss," Lia, one of the maids, said after she sighted Alex. Alex sighed deeply and turned to her. "Greetings to you, Lia, and to all of you. Can you all pretend not to see me here while I do what I came for and leave?"The maids exchanged glances and bowed."Ma'am, we are sorry but we can't do that. At least you can watch while we help you with whatever you want," Lia said on behalf of the maid
Christy, being in deep thought, was not aware of the lady coming in the opposite direction and bumped into her. Bianca, who had her face on her phone did not see her too and almost dropped her phone from the impact. The next thing Christy heard was a sound slap, she could not tell if it was on her cheek or the other lady's because of confusion. When she realized it was her cheeks was when the pain hit her. "Did you slap me or what?""I did and I will do that again if you don't mind where you going, B*tch."Christy's brain was fergie from the impact of the slap and did not know the best way to react. She was not the type that looks for trouble so instead of doing something, she walked past Bianca and walked into Luke's room. Bianca was disappointed and that was clearly written on her face. Maybe she was expecting the other lady to react. ********** Alex walked into her room with the tray of hot choco and toast bread and met Josh sitting on the bed. He w
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. Why are you sending me to Australia to go and live?" She cried out. "You've done enough harm, Stacy. You're relocating to Australia and that is where you will live from now onwards. I don't want to see anything close to you her
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. She wasn't there to eat but to have some time to herself but on second thought, she
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
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
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
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
