"Hey mister, are you nuts upstairs, is something wrong with you? Let me go this moment!"
Alex screamed still struggling with him, she was not having any of it. If she knew someone was in the car she would not have done what she did. She just wanted to see how puffy her eyes were and to try and clean her eyes. That's all she did but this monster of a man who has no human sympathy made matters worse for her and on it, he still kidnapped her. "Keep your hands off the steering, if not, you are going to get us both killed, young lady!" Josh yelled, he was having some much fun and the reaction on her face was making his evening. Damnit, this is going to be the best Christmas Eve. He knows he is crazy however why he is forcefully taking her with him is what he does not know, does it show the extent of his craziness? He just can't let her go even if he wants to. Alex stopped struggling with him when she realized that it was effortless. She needs to think of something to do. She can't be heartbroken on Christmas Eve and still be kidnapped. When Josh saw that she was quiet enough he smirked and Alex glared at him. "As*hole, your parents did not teach you how to respect ladies"Alex muttered but Josh heard her. He gave her a middle finger and at that moment Alex felt like smashing his head into the car glass. An idea crept into her head and she smiled. She remembered her hairpin she always carried around in her purse in case of times like this. She doesn't know his intentions towards her if it's good or bad but she would not wait for him to show his true intentions before she strikes."Waiting for his true intentions might be too late so now is the right time" She thought and that moment she stroked, the second the hairpin made contact with Josh's neck, he screamed and let go of the car wheel which ran into a tree trunk. Alex widened her eyes and shut them, it was too late for them. She should not have done that. Now both of them are in danger or so she thought. It was a relief when she saw that they were nowhere close to danger and the only thing which might be damaged is the car but who cares about cars anyway? she is sure he would get a new one with a snap of his hands and besides that serves him right for kidnapping her. Now let's see how far he was going to go with her. The hit was too much and Josh knows for sure that his $3 billion bumper was gone just like that. He recovered from the shock of being close to death and felt his neck, it was bleeding. "What the heck was that?"He said and turned but the lady at the back of his car kept a straight face. That only confused him, he couldn't believe she was calm after they almost hit it to 6ft. "Damn you, young lady, I don't care why you did what you did but you see my car, you are going to pay for every single scratch on it." Alex shivered and realized that she was in a big mess. Enough of Christmas Eve. She knows from his tone of voice that he was not joking. The man she was seeing now was different from what she saw a few minutes ago. How people change quickly. "Sorry"She said with her eyes pleading and that got Josh mad. "Sorry, your a*s but I am not having it. You see this car you will pay for it"He said arrogantly and Alex sighed with frustration. How she got here is what she does not know. How was she going to escape this? She has no money to pay for a damaged car. "Mr. I don't care about what you are saying but I am out of here. See you in the next life"She said and made to open the car Forgetting that the car was still locked. "Oops, can you open the car, let me get my poor self out of here" Alex was expecting a reaction from him but she got none. "You are not the only one who is stubborn, I am and after I am done with you today, you will wish you never crossed my part." Alex stared at him lost in speech. She was so dead and this she knows. She tried shaking off the unpleasant feeling that was creeping into her heart. The next she saw was the mad guy coming over to her side through the small opener between the back and the front but she failed to see what he was holding with him and before she could say hey, she heard a click and it was a handcuff. He had handcuffed her to himself. Who in the world carries handcuffs around? She stared at him in shock, she was trying to understand why he would handcuff her for crying out loud. She is not a criminal and what she did was in self defence, he was the one who is wrong, or is it because he is rich and he thinks he could do anything and get away with it? "Hey, what is the meaning of this?""What does it look like?"Josh fired back, he too was not having it. There was no light in his face. Boys have no joy. Alex, given the power, would have murdered him but what is she thinking? She better keep calm and figures out what to do with this madm*n here because that's what he is, no man in his right sense would act the way he is acting. "Alright, I will pay. You don't have to handcuff me. Just give your account details before the week runs out, and I will pay you the money."She said, trying to reason with him but all he did was scoff. He knows better than to believe her.Luke settled in the car and called his grandfather to know why he so wanted him to call urgently. "Grandfather"He said grumpily when the call got connected. The old man scoffed at his end. He can't believe that this grandson of his is just calling him now after he had ignored his calls severally. "Luke, get your damn ass home, the wedding is canceled" Senior Bleak said and the line went dead. Luke blinked twice and hissed, he is not sure he had his grandfather correctly. How can they just call off the wedding without his consent? Who did his grandfather take him for? After he broke up with his girlfriend for life because of the damned wedding, now it's off. This must be one of his grandfather's pranks but his old man does not joke about things like this. He is too old for jokes like this. There is only one way to find out and that's to head back to the mansion. He did a quick reverse and in no time he was on the highway driving above his speed limit. He was just praying and
Luke drove into the mansion and rushed out heading towards the main entrance where he met his grandfather waiting for him impatiently. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time."What took you so long to arrive here, young man, don't you know how to drive again?"Senior bleak questioned his youngergrandson. He can't believe how clumsy they are becoming."Sorry grandpa, I am here now. So why doyou need me home so urgently." Luke asked, hoping that he would say something else other than what he told him on the phone."Like I said, the wedding has been canceled. The Sahery has called to say that their daughter has gone missing therefore no wedding but the information I got said that she has secretly married her long-term lover and there is nothing I can do about that. After all, I never supported your relationship with her. So take heart, son and have a nice Christmas Eve, I will be in my room." Senior Bleak said and left with his bodyguard, he did not give Luke a second
Josh creased a brow at him. How can he say girlfriend when his fiancee is somewhere in London? Has Luke gone nut, is he mistaking Alex for Miss Sahery?"Sometimes you make jokes that make me what's to reset your brain. This is not Miss Sahery, alright." He smirked and caressed Alex's cheeks which aggregated Alex more. Alex sent him a daggered glare and looked away immediately. She has yet to process everything."Miss Sahery?" Alex thought and what she heard next made her heart stop beating. "This lady here has been cheating on me while I was away, now that I am back, I have decided to bring her home as my prisoner until she agrees to marry me. Freely or not, she is getting married to me." Josh said and made to drag her when Luke slapped him hard across the face. The time stopped ticking for a moment. Josh rubbed his cheeks and stared hard at his brother. The first time his younger brother is daring him without a reason, he would just let it slide. He had enough already from t
Alex managed a smile, she can't believe the old man still recognized her. It was just twice she made an appearance here yet he remembered her. That's heartwarming."Josh here claims Alex is his girlfriend"Luke said with a look of tiny hope in his eyes. His grandfather knows Alex so maybe he would help him stop Josh from his madness. "So Josh, I did not know you two were dating Miss Coker, what a world, and I was not aware" He said glaring at them both. He scanned Alex and realized that it might be a misunderstanding. It looks like Josh is up to one of his jokes again. If not, why would he handcuff and drag her like that? "Alex darling, I am sure you have got something to say about this. Kindly tell me why you are handcuffed by this rascal grandson of mine" Senior Bleak urged her to speak up. Alex grinned to herself. If Luke could betray her it's best she pays him back here and now. She saw the opportunity and decided to grab it. If Josh said she is his girlfriend, she can't wai
After a while, it dawned on Alex that she had made the greatest mistake of her life. She looked around and saw she was alone with two securities. She sighed and began to walk out of the sit out, now that he has freed her, she needs to find her way home and go clear her head. She refused to accept that she is getting married tomorrow, Christmas day. What is she to be called, a Christmas bride or what? She had gone halfway when she was stopped by one of the security personnel."Madam you are not meant to leave the premises, order from Mr. Josh" He said and Alex looked at him as if he had gone nuts. He does not want her yet he doesn't want her to leave. Is he so confused that he can't see that she is not ready to do this with him? "Sir I don't want to disrespect you but I need to go home, it's late already. Don't you think so?" The man shook his head and gestured for her to follow him but she adamantly stood where she was, not moving an inch. Let him do his worst but she is leavin
Luke could not tolerate how he was feeling and decided to confront his big bro. He had heard that Alex was taken to Josh's room and he can't have any of it. He barged into Josh's room expecting to see Alex in a compromising situation with Josh but he met the room empty. He sighed and wondered where she could be. Josh looked at him and continued going through his phone. It seems to him that Luke has lost his senses. "What can I do for you, kid brother?"Josh questioned him, Luke clenched his fist and felt like smashing his brother's head against the wall. "Bro, you can't do this. Go tell grandpa the truth. She is my girlfriend and you can't have her"Josh chuckled and kept his phone by the side. "Did you say your girlfriend, correct yourself, Luke. She is your ex-girlfriend because if I am not mistaken, you broke up with her this evening and you heard her, she still loves me and we are getting married tomorrow. Case close, do well to jam the door close if you make yo
While at work she had had an unsettling feeling and had called her parents to see if they were okay and to her relief, they were fine. Whenever she has that kind of feeling, something terrible would happen. Alex was somewhat relieved yet she was filled with fear because she knew that something bad was to happen if not that day, next, or maybe the upper day, her instincts had never lied to her. Could not do much work so she left to hurry home unless she gets home and sees everyone is okay, then she would know that all is okay but until then. Coming home and meeting things the way they wear confirmed her suspicions, she was trembling and could not get herself inside. Alex had calmed down and took a deep breath then went inside to meet the most gruesome sight ever. Her brain was forced to assimilate what her eyes saw. Her parents were lying in their own pools of blood with several open wounds from bullets here and there, her brother was lying unconsciously by her mothe
"Stacy for heaven's sake why are you calling me, you know I hate calls"Josh angrily said the moment he picked up the call, Stacy could feel the venom in his voice. Well, she is used to him so whatever he does now surprise her not at all. "I just want to confirm if what I heard is true"She questioned him without mincing words. Josh knew his brother had called Stacy but so what? It's his life and they should all fvck off. This is a time when people should start minding their business when it comes to the affairs of his life. "You heard correctly but if I may ask, what exactly did you hear""Oh, Josh! don't play with my intelligence, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I am talking about your supposed wedding tomorrow. I thought it was Luke's wedding. How come it's now yours and why are you getting married without a bride?" Josh chuckled at how silly Stacy sounded at the moment. Her informant should have let her know he had got a bride. " Why would I wed withou
