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
Alex heard the door closed and sighed. She was relieved since Josh is out of the room she might have some moment of peace before he returns. Her Life had suddenly turned upside down. Getting married to someone who she did not have a little feeling for would take all the strength in her, not that the guy is a gentleman, he is a total jerk who looks for her troubles every moment of the day. Her thoughts traded off to her little bro and she smiled. The smile on his face when he saw her with Josh was priceless and the young man really believed that she and Josh are helplessly in love, only if he knew that she is far from finding love, far from finding happiness. But does it matter? When the people that matter most in our lives are happy, we could do anything to keep smiles longer. That's what love is all about, we do things for the people we love and Alex believes so much in it. If her brother is happy then she is happy. She stood up from the cold tiles and went to have a
Alex stared at the photos and the note and cursed in her mind.How dare Luke try to tarnish her image like this? To think she dated this low life was unbelievable. So now what would he gain if she and Josh break up? "Luke, I know you but I did not know you up to this. I am sorry but you failed, your plans failed."She picked up the envelope with its contents and left the room. She thanked her star that she saw the content in the envelope before Josh, they would have quarreled some more and become more enemies. ******************* Josh drove into the club and it was filled to the brim. He should not expect less because it's Christmas and here in GreyWave, the people are party freaks. It's the time of the year when day clubs get more than expected customers. He looked around and thought he shouldn't be here. He just get married for crying out loud and in normalcy, he was supposed to be with his wife but just knowing that his marriage with Alex was neve
