The elevator beeped, indicating some entries and Stacy smiled when she saw who joined her on the elevator, it was Vicki who smiled politely at her. "We seem to be bumping into each other in the elevator, it's like nature wants us together," he said charmingly and Stacy blushed. "You can say that again, I wonder why I keep bumping into you?""Well let me tell you why, it is because nature has seen my heart and has liked you for me."He chuckled and continued, "so where are you going?" He asked and Stacy had to remember she was going to the VIPs to deliver a heart disturbing news to someone she knows but she can't tell Vicki that so she replied, "I just want to go to the upper floor to see the city from there, you know the upper floor has the best view." "I see but I think it's lunch hour. Since I am not busy and it's just the city view you want to see which you can do some other time, I would say, please kindly let's go have lunch."Vicki asked hoping she would not turn hi
Alex dusted her outfit even though she knew there was no dirt on it. She just has to do all that to give Josh more heartache because she literally knew that he was bothered that she was not bothered. She trashed the paper bag and went to the closet to check herself in the mirror attached to their closet. "Well Alex, you look so pretty, I am definitely sure there are some handsome dudes who are dying to get to sit with me just for a drink. It seems like Christmas vacation is going to be so fun, I can't wait to explore." She said more like indirectly tasting Josh's patient who sat on the bed watching her. Josh can't believe his wife has suddenly grown wings that she was ready to explore. It's like she has forgotten she is married. Fvck her ridiculous rules, she is not stepping out of this room going to meet any dude aside from him. "Mrs. Josh Bleak, I am so sure you are not stepping out of the door while I am here?""Why not? I am free to do anything like you are free t
Sam was the typical example of 'don't judge a book by its cover.' Alex had misunderstood her anyway but who would not when she was gushing over Josh back then? Alex had to protect what was hers. They kept talking about random things while the wine kept going down and finally, they were done with their drinks. They both stood up and hugged one another. "It was fun chatting with you, I was not expecting you to be this nice regarding how I behaved earlier."Sam said after they broke the hug. "Well, I was acting on wife's instincts. It's okay, I would say the same thing about you. Thanks for buying me a drink?" "The pleasure is mine. Hopefully, we will get to hang out more before the vacation is over."Sam said and they left the bar, she headed towards the receptionist while Alex headed towards the elevator. She was waiting to go inside the elevator when Stacy walked towards her with a knowing smile. Alex sighted her and grinned. "I see the great Mrs. Josh was out with
Alex stared at Josh as if he had grown horns. Her act was involuntary action and it was not for her to break her own rules. She did not believe she would be the first to break any of these rules. "Stripping for Josh? Yikes."Kissing Josh, was no issue, after all, she wanted to kiss him before but he would see it as something else now. So she ruled kissing and stripping for Josh out, she was left with cuddling him and that wouldn't be easy on its own. She was falling into her trap with no one to catch her. "I'm not doing any of that, Mr. Josh,"She adamantly said and stood up but Josh drew her back. "Yes, you will because you made those rules yourself."He smirked and continued, "so make your decision or you will do the three. You have only 5 seconds to make a decision, 1 2 3 4 ....""I will cuddle you," she said quickly, she can't imagine stripping or kissing Josh while he is conscious. "Good choice, it shows you are a good girl. And you don't have to wait for the night t
Luke stepped out of the mansion without his car, rather he wore a long coat. His grandfather who was in the living room watching a movie pretended not to see him leave which was a relief to Luke because he thought his grandfather did not see him. He got out of the mansion and a black SUV picked him up in less than two seconds. There was no other occupant of the car except the driver who had bowed in respect to Luke. Luke, who had made a decision last night to see the drug Lord because he knows that he can't use his grandfather's connection against Josh and his wife, needed to do whatever he ought to do aside from his family to get back at Josh. The SUV took him to the outskirts of the time and dropped him and then the driver drove away. His phone beeped and a message came into his phone. "The building by the left,"He looked up from his phone to see a building painted gray, it was an odd-looking building. He pocketed the phone and walked towards the building and
Josh listened and realized that his wife wasn't who he thought she was. She was just being tough to survive in the world that bashes the weaklings away. Maybe like he thought, they would be best of friends but it will take a great deal of work from his side. Alex pressed his neck hard when she noticed that he was not listening and Josh jolted back to reality. "What was that all about, do you also want to break my neck?""It would be better if I do that so no woman would find you attractive." She scornfully replied which made Josh chuckle. "I sense jealousy here.""You think I am jealous? Naw, I can't be. I am just trying to protect you from my gender," she said, masking her true emotion. "What's wrong with your gender?""I don't know. You are married, Josh, don't look at other women except me. Or don't I look beautiful enough? I know we did not meet in a pleasant way but we could start afresh by being friends." No matter how hard Alex tried to hide her emotions whil
Alex did not know if he kissed her because her brain had stopped working as she stared at him and the three-letter words she heard, she wanted to make sure it was coming from Josh. Josh was probably fooling around, she knew him too well to know that he might have said what he said to get a reaction from her. She smiled nervously at him, "emm..thanks Mr. Josh, for your kind gesture. Your kind words really made me feel better." She stood up leaving Josh dumbfounded,She thought he was fooling around because her response made it obvious. Why would she think he is fooling around? He checked his memories to see for the past three days if he has given her a reason to doubt him to this extent. His memories had to take him back to the handkerchief instead. She had probably got that idea from there. "Alex," he called and stood up, he pulled her to himself and made her face him. "I love you, yes I do. I realized that since yesterday when you were so cold in the hospital, not mo
When they got to the bar, they took their seats and the bar attendants came over to them to ask what they wanted. "Lemonade," Alex said, "Cocoa pine," Josh added and the bar attendant left to get their orders. The masked guy was at the corner watching the two. He felt there was something different about how they behave now compared to before, not that he has a problem with it. "They seem to understand themselves now, it's a good thing," he murmured to himself. The bar attendant brought their orders and placed them on the table and went away. Alex sighed, something she had wished for had eventually come through. It looked like Santa granted her her prayer request. She hoped that her newfound relationship would not be disrupted. "So tell me, Miss Coker, everything about yourself."Josh addressed her by her maiden name, making her look single. It was part of starting afresh. She knew she was not single but married and for the sake of wanting to know more about
