Mr. Jackson was staring down at his daughter who was seated opposite him looking so unbothered. She has been forced back to GreyWave and she was not happy about it and worst still, her phone has been seized from her father who would not listen to her pleas. "Stacey Jackson, I don't know how you manage to get to Miami. I asked you to come home in peace but what did you do? You would rather destroy the hotel before coming home in your quest for revenge. When will you understand that sometimes, you don't always get everything you want, all things are not meant for you." "Dad, I don't have a thing to say to you but you don't expect me to fold my hands and watch that gold digger take my man away. Even if I don't get her now, I will get her later and I tell you, dad, you would not be able to stop me."She snapped viciously. Mr. Jackson sighed and shook his head. His daughter would never learn. Locking her up and removing every access to the outside world might calm her down for a while.
Ander Coker didn't understand anything Jarden was saying because he has no clue at all. He might not have had any luxury but he didn't know what it means to lack because anything he ever wanted was provided to him both by his parents and Alex. He has dreams to have better and he would work towards it. "Thanks, Jarden, I feel I am entirely blessed to have you and my sis in My life. I feel like I have everything because all that matters most is having the people who understand you being all measure and you and My sis have been more than that." Ander knew more than anyone else."It's okay. I am blessed to have you as a friend. You are true to yourself and I love that" ************* Senior Bleak looked at the name again written boldly and wondered why he felt this Jessica is connected to him for all he knows anyone can bear Jessica. He can't seem to place his hand on it but he knows that she can't be because he has no one who could birth Jessica and his own Jessica was dead and gone s
The masked guy grinned and left too. It was time to call it a night but he has to report to his boss though he has been doing that since today but for the last report, he will make sure to deliver. His men have done enough for today and sometimes in the future, he is going to reward them even if his boss does not. A lot has happened and Josh and his wife just made his night by displaying that drama at the lounge. He got to his room and put the light on and got his system. One more thing and he would be down for a pleasant night. ********** The evening was well spent between Ander and Jarden. They chilled together and talked about so many things concerning their lives. It was great between the two and Jarden entertained Ander to his satisfaction. Ander was glad he decided to take a walk because he was able to have a fulfilling evening. Jarden dropped him at the mansion gate and left after telling him to be careful and mindful of how he moves aro
Alex came out of the bathroom still frowning. She couldn't believe that Josh would allow her to be in that kind of mood for a long time. He must have smoked something to think it was funny to say all that he said yet he said no sorry. It's both of them tonight. She had concluded how she was going to deal with him tonight. Her plans, mapped out, remain to execute it. She gingerly pulled the closet open and stared at the lingerings Senior Bleak had gifted her as part of her wedding gift. Her raging heart did not allow her to blush in peace. She blushed and went back to her normal expression. Josh sat on the bed and watched her every movement. He saw her stare at the lingerings and laughed in his mind. Is his wife considering wearing one tonight? Alex shook her head and grabbed another pair of pajamas. None of these clothes here are hers. They were all bought new and at this point, she would have been comfortable in her old clothes. She concluded that when they go back
Alex woke up feeling thirsty and made to stand up only to be snuggled against something. She was snuggled against Josh and getting up due to her position was Impossible, Josh might wake up and she didn't want that so she gently and slowly pulled herself away from him and went in search of water. Josh had brought bottles of water up to the room earlier in the afternoon, so she picked one bottle and drained the water then walked back to the bed and sat down.She recounted the dream she had and wondered why she would be taken back to when she was sixteen. She doesn't know if it was a dream or a memory she is meant to remember and after battling within her mind for a long time she figured out that it was not a dream but something that had happened a few nights before her parents were murdered. She saw her dream to be exactly how it happened and she never got to find out what was buried there because of her parents' death. She forgot all about it. She thought there will b
ZICO watched his men as they ransacked THE COKER's apartment. It was early morning. It was last night that he remembered that The Coker is in the position of a box he has been looking for ages and believes that the box will be in the apartment and had sent his men to the apartment to do a proper ransack as early as 6 am. He could have gone on his own but it would be too dangerous so he rely on his men to do the job. The apartment has been turned upside down and his men seem not to be getting close to seeing what they came for. Frustration was written all over their faces and once in a while, they will communicate with their boss through the intercom. The boss was not finding it funny because he was sure the box is inside the apartment. "Search every corner of the house, check unusual places and see if there are any carvings on the wall. The box is in the building" He instructed them once more and his men started all over again. After thirty more minutes of searc
Alex, who did not mind that she was naked, glared at Josh and bit her lips. Normally, she would have been conscious of herself but because she was damned angry, her nakedness did not matter, besides, Josh is her husband. She backed Josh and picked up her sponge and continued scrubbing herself. She was ignoring Josh totally. Josh thought of something that would make her mind him and got one.He quietly left the bathroom which brought relief to Alex. "If not that I love you so much, you would have been nursing your pain now." Alex knows her capacity when it comes to physical combat which always gives her the confidence that she would beat Josh up because she has been beating up her stalkers in the past. Only that she failed to realize that Josh is not one of those her stalkers and he can equally beat her easily. Alex had put off the shower to allow her to scrub her body but as she put it on, the shower did not run and that was awkward. In a five-star hotel like theirs
An hour later, a knock came at the door and Alex went to get it thinking it was room service. She opened the door and met a delivery guy at the door. "Good morning, Mrs. Josh Bleak?""Yes, I am.""Oh great...I am from Helge delivery service. I got a parcel for you. Sign here," The guy told her and pointed to her where she could sign, after signing, he handed the parcel over to her and left. Alex looked at the parcel and wondered when could have sent the parcel to her. She contemplated whether to open it or not. The parcel was wrapped in colorful wrapping paper and the shape was that of a box. She opened the wrap to reveal another wrap with paper attached to it. "Merry Christmas to You, Mrs. Josh Bleak Coker, I believe this box will get to you. You don't need to ask questions about who I am or how I got to know about this. And don't think I killed your parents because that will be ridiculous. In this box, deep secrets are hidden and if you are not ready to know what
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
