Alex shrugged off her shoulders. For now, she will just accept these things but later she would have to fight it with Mr. Josh. "Thanks, Ashia for the help. I appreciate it. If you don't mind, I can take it from here. You have done enough already."Ashia nodded and pointed to a bell on the wall. "If you need me just touch the bell and I will be here in a blink"She said, turned, and left. ***************One of the officers had called and is relating his findings to Senior Bleak."Sir, the result is out and like we predicted, she was poisoned" The officer said and waited for Senior Bleak to say something. "Okay, officer but I believe you know your job. Find out who did and why she was poisoned. I believe the person did this to clean every trace of him but I trust your efficiency, so do all you have to do and get back to me because it is the life of my daughter-in-law we are talking about here. I don't want anything to happen to her, she's too precious to
While Josh kept his stare on Luke, he drew Alex closer and whispered to her."Try smiling, the world is not coming to an end yet."Alex rolled her eyes at Josh and shook her head.The jerk will always be a jerk. She looked around and found her brother missing but he did not have to miss for long because he appeared the next minute looking dashingly. Alex wowed. Money sure looks good on Ander. The turkey shirt and Italian jeans and the leather moccasin shoe he was putting on brought out the handsomeness in him. She bet all these worth thousands. All courtesy of the Bleak Family, her new family. Ander is a good-looking young man but the expensive clothes he wore aid his good looks. Ander mouthed his sorry to her for being late and took a seat. With everyone present, the priest cleared his attention to gain the couple's attention and proceeded. "Without wasting much of our time, let's get the wedding started"He said and everywhere went silent. "Josh Bleak, there is n
Josh and Alex entered the room they are to share from now on as a couple. Automatically, Senior Bleak had spoken to Josh about having the mansion until Alex is safe, he can then think of moving over to his own house or probably go back to the state with Alex which he agrees without a complaint. Alex kicked off the heels and climbed the huge bed without sparing Josh a glance. Josh felt irritated and hissed. Did he just get married and his wife is acting so childish? Like was this how couples behave after their wedding? He pulled Alex by her legs but she ignored him and blocked her hearing with one of the pillows. "Mrs. Josh, are you not supposed to help me pull off my clothes, or have you forgotten that you are now my wife?"Josh said and dragged her down by force. Alex yanked her leg off his hands and glared at him. "Mr. Josh, do you mind if I have some peace? I am sure you are not handicapped not to do things by yourself?"She said and climbed the bed back. Josh
Alex heard the door closed and sighed. She was relieved since Josh is out of the room she might have some moment of peace before he returns. Her Life had suddenly turned upside down. Getting married to someone who she did not have a little feeling for would take all the strength in her, not that the guy is a gentleman, he is a total jerk who looks for her troubles every moment of the day. Her thoughts traded off to her little bro and she smiled. The smile on his face when he saw her with Josh was priceless and the young man really believed that she and Josh are helplessly in love, only if he knew that she is far from finding love, far from finding happiness. But does it matter? When the people that matter most in our lives are happy, we could do anything to keep smiles longer. That's what love is all about, we do things for the people we love and Alex believes so much in it. If her brother is happy then she is happy. She stood up from the cold tiles and went to have a
Alex stared at the photos and the note and cursed in her mind.How dare Luke try to tarnish her image like this? To think she dated this low life was unbelievable. So now what would he gain if she and Josh break up? "Luke, I know you but I did not know you up to this. I am sorry but you failed, your plans failed."She picked up the envelope with its contents and left the room. She thanked her star that she saw the content in the envelope before Josh, they would have quarreled some more and become more enemies. ******************* Josh drove into the club and it was filled to the brim. He should not expect less because it's Christmas and here in GreyWave, the people are party freaks. It's the time of the year when day clubs get more than expected customers. He looked around and thought he shouldn't be here. He just get married for crying out loud and in normalcy, he was supposed to be with his wife but just knowing that his marriage with Alex was neve
Josh drove into the Bleak mansion and found the family Bugatti missing, he thought maybe his grandfather stepped out. He sighed and got down from his car. On his way back home, he had made up his mind to talk to Alex, he thought there was no need for them to be enemies since they are married. What happened can't be changed and if she wants to blame him, so be it and he would take the blame. He wants to see if they can start all over, at least start with being friends. He really needs to if he is to keep his sanity. He walked into the mansion to see his grandfather in the large living room listening to the news and he paused. " If grandfather is here, who then went out with the Bugatti?"Senior Bleak turned and saw Josh standing at the entrance like a lost puppy. " Josh, is everything okay? your wife and brother went home. They will be back soon.""Thanks, grandfather, I will just be in my room"He replied and left. The grandfather watched as Josh walked away. He narrow
A black-tinted Venza 20015 continued to follow Alex's car at a close range. Silas, who had sighted the car right from Alex's apartment, sped up a little and in no time, he was on the highway maneuvering the car. The driver of the Venza spat in anger and cursed loudly. He just lost a good chance and he would not know how to relate this news to his boss. The other white car that was following the black Venza smiled to himself. "You fools, I am sure while you troll another person, someone somewhere is trolling you" The game had just begun and with a team against two while Alex is the bet. Suddenly Alex has come to the limelight and every dick is soothing to get to her. The Bugatti drove through the big gate and stopped. Ander and Alex came down with the shopping bag she had received at CASiE'S. It was part of her wedding present. It was a set of lingering and she was undoubtedly ashamed of herself when the manager had handed it to her."What is grandfather thinking?
"Sir, from what we gathered, the couple is leaving for their honeymoon tomorrow and every arrangement has been made by Senior Bleak himself. The coast is clear but how long is what we don't know."Mr. Masked guy relates to his boss on the phone. "Okay, what about the brother?""He will be going back to school next week. For now, he is at the Bleak mansion and he is out of danger.""That's great, for the coast to be clear. Prepare your men to travel with them tomorrow. And find more about the Black Venza and get back to me. If any other thing comes up don't forget to let me know. Alex must be protected at all times""Yes boss, I will do as you said"He said and hung up the call. He stared at his phone and thought for a while. He can't seem to place it. Who is this lady and why is his boss going out of his way to protect her? The last time he checked, his boss was not human. Whatever and whoever Alex is, he will find out in due time but for now, he will focus on protecting her and th
