Max stood transfixed watching the couple display their drama."But how are you going to have my life when I am still breathing, my love?" He asked, still looking confused. "Tsk! tsk!! tsk!!! Mr. Josh, don't make me believe that your brain is for fancy. How can you not understand what I meant by your life? It was an expression I made. Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Josh," she yelled at him, almost poking his nose.Josh still was not clear by what she meant but he couldn't even bring himself to ask her; rather he returned to begging her to see if she would forgive him. The guy who made mentioned of having a knife got to them and made to hand the knife to Josh but Max drew the guy backward and patted him on the back. "There is no need for the knife? The wife does not want him to die again," Max said, pointing to Alex and Josh.The guy nodded and turned away. "Don't be like this please, forgive me, will you, baby Alex?" Josh continued to beg and when Alex could not hold grudges any
ZICO and Grey sat facing themselves with their legs crossed and half-filled wine glasses. ZICO has been scrutinizing him ever since he arrived. It was ZICO's idea to meet with Grey and Grey had come running when he got the information. "There is a box I want you to retrieve from Miami. I learned it's in Miami and you are the only one in the right position to get the job done. Can I count on you?" ZICO said and handed a picture to Grey, who took it and examined it. It was a picture of the silver box and it's dawn on Grey that it was the same box the ZICO men had gone after but failed to get it. How did it get to Miami so fast and who is this contender that ZICO has? "Sure you can count on me, consider the job done," Grey assured him and he nodded his head. Grey stood up and left the building. He got into his car and drove off. A moment later, he tapped on his phone and the information needed appeared on his phone while he drove with one hand. The location of the box was the s
"Wait, I will call you Josh," she said, rolling her eyes and Josh stopped on his track. He mentally cleaned his ears. He turned and saw her staring at him."What? I said I will call you Josh, " she repeated what she said and shook her head. "But you have to call me Alex as well," she demanded. "But I love to attach my name to yours""Same way I love to attach Mr. to your name so since you want me to call you Josh, you can as well do me a favor and call me Alex." Josh regretted why he had made the demand. He loved the Josh attached to her but now he had made a demand for a change. The change was extended to both of them. "Alright, I will call you Alex.""Great then. You were saying?" She said walking close to him "What is the other stuff you talked about earlier?"He smirked, "you really want to know?" He asked. "Yes, I am a curious person," Alex replied."Come here," he ordered. The tigress Alex turned a lamb immediately. There was something about Josh each time he
Henry led Alex into the horse stall to choose a horse for their horse riding. He had proposed horse riding on the way and Alex had agreed without much thought. The horse keeper took them round the horse stall to make a choice. Having gone round for the second time with Henry making a choice, they came to stop in front of a gray horse that wiggled its tail when it sighted Alex. "The horse seems to like you so we are going for it," Henry said and the Horse keeper agreed with Henry. "Nice choice. I am surprised that the horse likes you. His name is Matt."The keeper said and handed them the horse stripe. Alex kept looking at the horse. She has this feeling of deja vu and she couldn't tell why. It's not like she has met the horse. "Hi Matt, thanks for liking me. Nice to meet you," she patted his back and he wiggled his tail happily. With the help of Henry, Alex led the horse outside the stall. They got outside and Henry helped her to mount on the horse and he climbed behin
THE BOSS, the mask guy's boss, sat behind the system and smiled. "ZICO, you think you are smart and I have proven to you once again that you are the world's no 1 foolish person. You will try but in the end, the secret which has been buried for so long will be let out in the open," he smirked and turned his back on the screen. Grey was seen on the screen leaving ZICO's hideout. *********** Stacy and her dad have been making up for the time lost. For the past hour, they have used it to talk and make up. Her dad had apologized for his actions and Stacy had done the same. They made a promise to be the best for each other. Mr. Jackson at the same time had gifted her another car as a made-up gift that would land in a few days. Stacy could not be happier than this but that's just a facade. No matter what her dad does, she would still go ahead and do what she had planned to do. Her dad could give heaven and Earth but Stacy would choose hell for her to get her revenge served. Her Christmas
Henry was one of Max's loyal men until he got angry that the boss used to give all credit to Max and had broken out of Max's list. The boss had put Henry as a backup to Max which Max was aware of. This morning he had gotten a message from Henry that he just had to watch his back because he was going to prove to him that one can never be too careful and Henry had proven his point. Max's phone rang and it was the asshole calling him. "I told you, man, you can never be too careful. I hope you like my surprise?" Henry smirked at his own end and Max clenched his fist. "And how is your face bearing the act of your foolishness? Do you realize that you could have killed Alex?""That's your problem, not mine. I tended to kill two of them though. Who do you think staged the accident? You are just too smart for my liking," Henry spat out angrily."So it was you, huh? You have lost your conscience. How can you want to prove a point at the expense of two lives, Henry Hat?" Max could
Max watched her every moment,"The ambulance bringing you to the hospital after your fall failed brake and Josh had to protect you with his body for you not to sustain more injury. The ambulance caught fire and that's where the burns came from. Mr. Josh loves you a lot, I have seen it with the little time I had interacted with him. He might be an asshole but you mean the world to him," Max summarized the event of the little time she passed away. Alex did not realize she was crying until a tear dropped from her eyes. Josh could give his life in exchange for hers. She knows Josh loves her a lot but every second he proves to her that his love for her was not just a mere love but deep love. Josh shows his love, he doesn't tell. "I am sorry my darling, you have to be in pain because of me," she muttered and went down on her knees, weeping. The weight of what might have happened to her if Josh had not protected her with his body hit her hard. She would have burnt severally and might
In less than two hours, Alex and Josh were back at the mansion at GreyWave. It was not like Josh walked on his own. Throughout the ride home, he was not aware and as he lay in his room, he had no clue that he was back at GreyWave. Grandfather had sent the jet and it picked them up after their pieces of luggage were wheeled down to the hospital from their hotel. Max had wished Alex well and he took his own trip back to GreyWave after the jet conveying Alex and Josh took off. His boss had picked him up by himself and his men had gone on a separate jet too. They were all back home and this was the time when the real game began. Alex was safer at Miami but now that she was back home and all eyes were on her, THE BOSS was sure to buckle up his shoes not that he was not doing so for as long as he could remember. Alex meant the world to him and he will protect her at all costs. ZICO had not really recovered from the fact that an empty box was delivered to him and when the news
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,"
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
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
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
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
