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
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
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
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,"
Alex's phone rang and she hurriedly to pick it up where it lay carelessly on her bed. A smile crept into her face when she saw the caller, it was no other than her heartthrob, Luke. She was wet from showering and she did not mind knowing that any other thing can wait but her love can not wait. She picked it and his voice came through. "Being knocking for a while now, can you kindly come open the door for me?"He said dryly and hung up the call. She pulled the phone from her ear and stared at it. This was unusual for Luke not to say a word of greetings to her. His voice was cold and she fears if he is okay. "Hope he is okay?" She thought.What could have gone wrong? Did something happen at home? Is he fighting with his grandfather again? She was confused. She quickly dried her body and went in search of her clothes. Any cloth will do, it's obvious he has been waiting and she does not want him to wait any longer. She was actually getting ready for their dinner date and was so excit
Luke felt hurt by the brutality in which she wished him a merry Christmas. He was supposed to be happy that she did not make it difficult for him. She had understood but he had wished she fought a little. Truth is he was not expecting her to accept their break up, guess he wanted her to beg him to stay. He wished as she disappeared inside and knew for sure that this is the last time he is setting his eyes on her. His wedding is tomorrow and he needs to be at the bachelor party organized by his bachelor friends. Getting married at last.He sighed and palmed his face It's goodbye for the last time. "Merry Christmas, Miss Coker"They are now back to formality. How things end before they begin. He closed her door and stepped into the mood of the evening, Alex got to her room and slumped on the floor. She doesn't know whether to cry or laugh but she has to do one and that's to cry. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".She screamed and screamed. What the heck is wrong with the world? Why today
Alex stepped out of her apartment with a red scarf around her neck. The breeze blew past her face and she stood for a while before moving. It was Christmas and the winter air was at its peak. It's not a new thing. Winter on Christmas can freeze you to death. The street was so Christmastic, every corner was decorated with Christmas lights. And children singing voices were heard. Typical Christmas in Greywave, it's always like this every year. GreyWave and her people don't joke with Christmas because they believe so much that the Savior of the world was born during that period which is absolutely the truth to the Christian Brethren. It's a season of love and homing coming for many and it's only a few that does not partake in the celebration because of whatever they believe in. A lot of weddings happen and so many others, it's in this period that the noble gets to display their nobility. Those who have cash spend them and the billionaire gangs cruise the community. Alex fi
Josh Bleak had been sitting in his car for heaven knows when and he does not even have a clue when he will be leaving there. The evening was becoming chilly and he had whined up his car window.His phone rang and it was his old man. He sighed and picked up the call."Hello grandpa""Young Man, where the hell are you? I asked you to come home to stay at home not to go stay outside. You know you are my eldest, every grandchild of mine misbehaving, learns from you because they emulate you. If you don't want me to have it hot with you, get yourself down here in immediately"His grandfather said and hung up the call, it was just a few seconds call. When will his grandfather understand that he is not a boy anymore? Josh Bleak is almost thirty and should not be ordered around. He pulled the phone from his ear and smiled with one side of his mouth pulled up. "Sorry grandfather but I have to disappoint you this time around. You asked me to come down to GreyWave and here I am, what you ar

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
