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
Josh finally got to his grandfather's room after he knocked countless times and the door was not opened. He let himself in and found his grandfather absent from the room. He heard the shower running and knew at once that he was taking a shower. He chuckled at how weird his grandfather's room is. He has got it all pinky like a lady's room and the funny part is when his grandma was alive, she got her room blues. Josh has wondered why they are the opposite of what they are. He has always seen his family as a weird one, how can one of them be getting married tomorrow and his parents are nowhere to be found? His father would prefer to tour around with his mother than to be home and if not that grandfather has given them the order to be home, they might have spent Christmas in London. He is not surprised though, since he was a kid, it's been his grandfather looking after him and Luke and he has gotten used to the way his parents live their lives but it still baffles him sometime
Josh took a sip of his whiskey, he was getting bored already. He can't wait for the damn wedding to happen so that he would go back to London, dealing with his grandfather is not among one of his agendas for the new year, he would definitely go insane if he dares. "And no matter what your wife ever does to you, don't react immediately, think twice before reacting. In that way, you understand why she has to do what she did. Women are so complex, understanding them is like trying to see what tomorrow has in store for you. Don't ever dare to try and understand her because your mental health will be at stake." Senior Bleak paused and took another sip from his whiskey, he stared at Josh to see his expression but Josh was expressionless. This his grandson knows how to keep his emotions in check. He is proud of him in some ways. Senior Bleak is so afraid about his grandson's bride, Alex Coker. She has a past with his two grandsons and he does not know how the whole thing is going
Josh never expected what happened to him next. He opened the bathroom door with a towel tied around his waist and water dripping around his body and disappearing into his towel. Alex targeted him and the moment he opened the door, she emptied the water on him, it was not just any water but cold water. Josh gasped and clenched his fist. " What's wrong with you young lady, are you crazy?" Alex smirked and dropped the bowl on the floor. "You are not the only one who could play this game. Don't try me next time or what I will serve you will be bigger than what you saw. Mr. Josh Bleak, dare me not" She said and walked out of the room, she had stepped out but she returned. "Don't forget to get the bowl to the kitchen, I love you darling" She blew kisses to him and closed the door. Once she was outside, she breathed in and released the air she had been holding. Dealing with Josh will require a lot of strength from her side. If she eventually marri
Alex was not after all he said, her concern was the fact that he drew her back. She never knew Luke is a narcissist. So he now thinks better of himself, she is actually thankful that she had to break every connection she had with him. What would have been the remainder of her, if, at the end of their relationship, they had married each other? She thinks it's better to suffer heartbreak with someone you know you don't love than to suffer it with someone you love with your life. She examined herself and saw that there is no more place for Luke in her life again, she has actually moved on and it was still a surprise how she did that so quickly. "Luke, don't try this again with me. I am being so kind but don't take it for granted, don't push me" She said and glared at him, Luke fumed and raised his hands to slap her. "Don't you dare in your life touch my wife or you will have me to contend with" Josh warned Luke sternly as he makes his way forward to them. He got to t
