Senior Bleak frowned and tapped his feet on the floor tiles, the tapping could be heard by someone in a distance. He believes that Lucy would not just drug Alex without being asked to and the officers have been doing their best to find out who had sent her but they have not been able to. The news of Lucy's death means Alex's life is still in danger because the person knew that Lucy will at least spill the truth and he had to kill her but how could the officers be too careless to the extent that the person under their custody would be killed right under their noses. That's incompetency on their own part. Senior Bleak heaved a sigh and left the room, he was descending the stairs when his phone rang again, it was the hospital calling. "Sir, I am sorry to relate to you, the lady has lost consciousness again but we are doing our best. For her to wake up before, there is every tendency she would wake up again soon. She fainted due to exhaustion but she is stable now and her bre
Senior Bleak stared at the papers in front of him and saw that the data are corresponding and thought how come?He has not been able to understand the whole saga but he would understand in due time. He closed the file and stood up. He was done with what he wanted to do anyway so he should better be at the hospital and see how his granddaughter-in-law is doing. ********** Stacy felt disgusted with herself, she still finds it hard to believe she has slept with this jerk in her negotiation to be on her side. He took advantage of the fact that she wanted his help financially and otherwise and had his way with her. It was her fault anyway because when she made up her mind to start dealing with the devil, she knew she was going to pay with her soul. Now there is no shame left and Josh Bleak will pay dearly for pushing her to this path she is on right now. She has started the race and she will run it to the end. "Josh Bleak, you better watch your back because you would not know what wil
The hospital canteen delivered breakfast at last. Josh had to help Alex with it and she did not argue with him. She just let him have his way, it's not that she is comfortable with it but she has to endure in the meantime. She was chewing the last piece of her toast bread when Senior Bleak came into her ward and was delighted to see her looking so much alive. Senior Bleak was glad. "Alex darling, I am glad to have you back."Senior Bleak kissed her cheeks and flashed a knowing smile to Josh who huffed in his mind but he dared not show his displeasure in front of his grandfather. The doctor came in at some point and saw that everyone was complete. "Sir, according to your request, there is no need for Mrs. Bleak to remain here in the hospital. An arrangement has been made and a nurse will follow you to take care of her at home until she is fully back on her feet."The doctor said and Senior Bleak nodded He trusts the hospital in the health aspect but in a sense of sec
When Ander could not bear it anymore, he stood up to leave but felt a squeeze on his hand. He turned and Alex was staring up at him. His joy knows no bounds. He felt like jumping, crying, singing, or anything. He did not even know what to do but there was one thing he could never forget in a time like this, something Alex taught him. In a time of nothing to do, when you lose words or action, a simple hug will do. It means a lot. He turned and crashed himself into her, hugging her so tight to himself not minding if she is comfortable or not. Alex smiled and hugged him back. His brother has always been her driving point, the reason she wants to live. "Ander, I missed you, I am sorry sis did not keep her promise like she always does. Something came up, forgive your big sis, will you?" Alex rocked him to and fro. Ander being 19 will not change the fact that he will always be a baby to Alex. Ander finally broke the hug and smiled."I missed you too, I was worried too but my wo
How drastically her life had changed in a space of some time. Yesterday evening she was suddenly single then, boom! She landed herself a wedding."I am done pitying myself, I'm done trying to blame whatever or whoever that is to be blamed for what is happening now. It's not my will to be married to Josh Bleak but it is my choice to make Ander have a good life because this marriage will mean a lot to him. My new status will change his life and mine. You might think I am getting married because the guy has money, yes you might be right on that aspect but, left for me I will not be married to Josh Bleak." Alex made up her mind for the last time and stood up. She is strong now and could at least clean herself up. A knock came at the door and a lady walked in with a plastic bag. She sure looks like someone who is working in the mansion. "Good day to you young Miss, Mr. Josh asked me to deliver this to you. I am Ashia by name and I will be your personal maid from now on"Alex s
Alex shrugged off her shoulders. For now, she will just accept these things but later she would have to fight it with Mr. Josh. "Thanks, Ashia for the help. I appreciate it. If you don't mind, I can take it from here. You have done enough already."Ashia nodded and pointed to a bell on the wall. "If you need me just touch the bell and I will be here in a blink"She said, turned, and left. ***************One of the officers had called and is relating his findings to Senior Bleak."Sir, the result is out and like we predicted, she was poisoned" The officer said and waited for Senior Bleak to say something. "Okay, officer but I believe you know your job. Find out who did and why she was poisoned. I believe the person did this to clean every trace of him but I trust your efficiency, so do all you have to do and get back to me because it is the life of my daughter-in-law we are talking about here. I don't want anything to happen to her, she's too precious to
While Josh kept his stare on Luke, he drew Alex closer and whispered to her."Try smiling, the world is not coming to an end yet."Alex rolled her eyes at Josh and shook her head.The jerk will always be a jerk. She looked around and found her brother missing but he did not have to miss for long because he appeared the next minute looking dashingly. Alex wowed. Money sure looks good on Ander. The turkey shirt and Italian jeans and the leather moccasin shoe he was putting on brought out the handsomeness in him. She bet all these worth thousands. All courtesy of the Bleak Family, her new family. Ander is a good-looking young man but the expensive clothes he wore aid his good looks. Ander mouthed his sorry to her for being late and took a seat. With everyone present, the priest cleared his attention to gain the couple's attention and proceeded. "Without wasting much of our time, let's get the wedding started"He said and everywhere went silent. "Josh Bleak, there is n
Josh and Alex entered the room they are to share from now on as a couple. Automatically, Senior Bleak had spoken to Josh about having the mansion until Alex is safe, he can then think of moving over to his own house or probably go back to the state with Alex which he agrees without a complaint. Alex kicked off the heels and climbed the huge bed without sparing Josh a glance. Josh felt irritated and hissed. Did he just get married and his wife is acting so childish? Like was this how couples behave after their wedding? He pulled Alex by her legs but she ignored him and blocked her hearing with one of the pillows. "Mrs. Josh, are you not supposed to help me pull off my clothes, or have you forgotten that you are now my wife?"Josh said and dragged her down by force. Alex yanked her leg off his hands and glared at him. "Mr. Josh, do you mind if I have some peace? I am sure you are not handicapped not to do things by yourself?"She said and climbed the bed back. Josh
