Alex left her apartment with the mindset of finding her brother before returning home. She has mapped out how to begin her search. Ander has a few friends and their houses are adjacent to each other. She will start with the friend's next house, that's like a few blocks from her apartment. As she walked on, things felt abnormal, like she did not belong there but if she doesn't belong here, where then did she belong? This neighborhood has been her neighborhood for five years now so why are things beginning to look weird in her eyes? "It's probably stress and overthinking"She thought and walked on. She got to the block and made her way towards the entrance, knocked, and a few minutes later, the door was opened in ajar with a young man of 19 years staring down at her, this was Andre's first Friend in the neighborhood. Alex smiled at him and the guy raised his brows in askance. "Please I am looking for Ander, is he by any chance here?"Alex asked."Which Ander and who
Alex, who could not move an inch after her last encounter with the Friend next house, has been rooted in the place ever since. She was battling with confusion and can't seem to understand what was going on. If It's a dream she wants to wake up from it. She sighed and turned her back on the building and began moving away, she would just have to check the next friend. She was beginning to get chilly so she put on her gloves and wore her scarf. The coat she was putting on was not enough to protect her from the cold. Winter on Christmas morning was always extreme and it's the joy of Christmas but she found no joy today. She felt out of place and was beginning to get teary. She and her brother were supposed to be singing Christmas hymns and dancing like they always do every Christmas morning. Hot tears filled her eyes and she let them flow. Alex can be strong when she wants to but you see cry, she is good at it. Crying empties all bitterness in her soul and afterward, fills he
Ander has seen skyscrapers in movies and this is more like what the building looks like but a petty look of a skyscraper so he would say it is a mansion, the only thing is that the architectural work looks more like a skyscraper building than that of a mansion. But the building could be a skyscraper or a mansion, whichever one it is, it has got the look and it is beautifully built and he can't wait to explore the mansion after he might have met his sister. He looked below his feet and found the floor to be interlocked, it was cool to him. Money is definitely good. He was lost for words on how to describe the view in front of him, it was something born out of a movie and he was finding it surprising to be there and the most surprising thing to him is how come his sister landed herself with someone who has got this kind of money and what happened to the relationship between her and uncle Luke. "This is not the sister he knows."He thought. She never mentioned anything which
Senior Bleak entered and shut his door then went off to his computer room to see things for himself. He settled down and started with a reverse of the footage from that moment to when they had dinner yesterday. He kept searching but the footage was not clear, more like some parts were tampered with and whoever did the job tended to leave no trace but that's where the person is wrong. He got his phone and connected it to the system. The phone is attached to every secret camera in the mansion so whenever he can't find something from the computer, he uses his phone, and right there he will get the answer. He did not have to search for long and boom, the answer was in front of him. He cursed and stared hard at the picture of the perpetrator. *********** Alex walked on with tearful eyes, her beautiful face was painted with tears. The Christmas morning breeze was not helping her in any way, it was rather adding to her pain. She was damned miserable and
Lucy lifted her tear-filled eyes and looked at Senior Bleak. With the way senior Bleak Kept looking at her, she realized that she was in a big mess, she shouldn't have done what she did. What was she even thinking? "Sir I am deeply sorry I have to do what I did. I don't know what came over me, I can accept any punishment but please don't get the police involved, I beg you." She pleaded, hoping that Senior Bleak would listen to her. Luke scoffed and gave her a glaring look."One more word from you, and you will not see the light of the next day." Senior Bleak threatened her and she shuddered, Lucy knew she was really on her own and the person who had made her do what she did, had ganged up with his grandfather to play against her. The life of rich, think they can do anything and get away with it and surely, they always do. Senior Bleak waved his hands and the rest of his staff started dispatching one after the other, they wouldn't want to be on the man's bad side today.
Stacy parked her car and in a flash rushed out of the car, she nearly somersaulted because her high heels could barely hold the speed or rather, could barely lift her weight. She barged into the living room and saw how empty it was, there was only one place for her dad to be by this time of the day and that was the dining room. It was his breakfast hour anyway. She tried calming down on her way but she could not, the more she tried to understand why her dad has to make a way with her money the angrier she gets. "Dad, with all due respect, what happened to my money?"She questioned her dad the moment she got to the dining room. "You mean my money, Stacy?"He asked her warmly. She puffed her cheeks and glared at her dad. When did her dad start to refer to her money as his? "Dad, you know what I am talking about, you don't have to do that" She said a bit calmer this time around. Mr. Jackson dropped his fork and wiped his mouth, he suddenly lost his appetite. He can't
Alex tried to lift her hand but found out that she could not because something was attached to her hands. She felt uncomfortable and realized that she had something covering her nose thereby making her breathe with difficulty. She tried struggling, and that's when Josh looked up and saw that she was awake. His heart leaped with joy, he could not describe how he felt at that moment. Seeing her awake alone gives him indescribable joy. "Josh is here and I am in the hospital because that's what it looks like"She thought wondering why or how and if could it be Josh's fault because he doesn't want her to be his wife. He scrambled up and ran to her bedside and removed the oxygen mask. At that moment, two nurses and the doctor ran into the ward with a stethoscope hanging on the doctor's neck. The doctor examined her and scribed something on the blue board and handed it back to the nurse whom he collected it from. The doctor was surprised that with the amount of melatonin p
Stacy came down from her car with a deep frown on her face, she was not smiling at all. She has no will to back down from her quest of proving to her dad that she could do without him. She knows too well that she can't do without him. Stacy stared at the old-looking building in front of her, what she is doing there or how she got there, she would be ashamed to say all about it, but does she still have shame? "It's no big deal anyway, as far as I get what I want, how I get it is not a problem."With that, she headed into the building. She did not have to knock and the door opened, it was like she was being watched all along. He has been expecting her. She sighed and went into the building, she had come far to back out. It's No Going back for her. She walked into what could be presumed as a living but she met it empty. She looked around and saw the smiling portrait of the jerk hanging by the left side of the wall. That's the only normal thing in the living room, every
