Josh creased a brow at him. How can he say girlfriend when his fiancee is somewhere in London? Has Luke gone nut, is he mistaking Alex for Miss Sahery?"Sometimes you make jokes that make me what's to reset your brain. This is not Miss Sahery, alright." He smirked and caressed Alex's cheeks which aggregated Alex more. Alex sent him a daggered glare and looked away immediately. She has yet to process everything."Miss Sahery?" Alex thought and what she heard next made her heart stop beating. "This lady here has been cheating on me while I was away, now that I am back, I have decided to bring her home as my prisoner until she agrees to marry me. Freely or not, she is getting married to me." Josh said and made to drag her when Luke slapped him hard across the face. The time stopped ticking for a moment. Josh rubbed his cheeks and stared hard at his brother. The first time his younger brother is daring him without a reason, he would just let it slide. He had enough already from t
Alex managed a smile, she can't believe the old man still recognized her. It was just twice she made an appearance here yet he remembered her. That's heartwarming."Josh here claims Alex is his girlfriend"Luke said with a look of tiny hope in his eyes. His grandfather knows Alex so maybe he would help him stop Josh from his madness. "So Josh, I did not know you two were dating Miss Coker, what a world, and I was not aware" He said glaring at them both. He scanned Alex and realized that it might be a misunderstanding. It looks like Josh is up to one of his jokes again. If not, why would he handcuff and drag her like that? "Alex darling, I am sure you have got something to say about this. Kindly tell me why you are handcuffed by this rascal grandson of mine" Senior Bleak urged her to speak up. Alex grinned to herself. If Luke could betray her it's best she pays him back here and now. She saw the opportunity and decided to grab it. If Josh said she is his girlfriend, she can't wai
After a while, it dawned on Alex that she had made the greatest mistake of her life. She looked around and saw she was alone with two securities. She sighed and began to walk out of the sit out, now that he has freed her, she needs to find her way home and go clear her head. She refused to accept that she is getting married tomorrow, Christmas day. What is she to be called, a Christmas bride or what? She had gone halfway when she was stopped by one of the security personnel."Madam you are not meant to leave the premises, order from Mr. Josh" He said and Alex looked at him as if he had gone nuts. He does not want her yet he doesn't want her to leave. Is he so confused that he can't see that she is not ready to do this with him? "Sir I don't want to disrespect you but I need to go home, it's late already. Don't you think so?" The man shook his head and gestured for her to follow him but she adamantly stood where she was, not moving an inch. Let him do his worst but she is leavin
Luke could not tolerate how he was feeling and decided to confront his big bro. He had heard that Alex was taken to Josh's room and he can't have any of it. He barged into Josh's room expecting to see Alex in a compromising situation with Josh but he met the room empty. He sighed and wondered where she could be. Josh looked at him and continued going through his phone. It seems to him that Luke has lost his senses. "What can I do for you, kid brother?"Josh questioned him, Luke clenched his fist and felt like smashing his brother's head against the wall. "Bro, you can't do this. Go tell grandpa the truth. She is my girlfriend and you can't have her"Josh chuckled and kept his phone by the side. "Did you say your girlfriend, correct yourself, Luke. She is your ex-girlfriend because if I am not mistaken, you broke up with her this evening and you heard her, she still loves me and we are getting married tomorrow. Case close, do well to jam the door close if you make yo
While at work she had had an unsettling feeling and had called her parents to see if they were okay and to her relief, they were fine. Whenever she has that kind of feeling, something terrible would happen. Alex was somewhat relieved yet she was filled with fear because she knew that something bad was to happen if not that day, next, or maybe the upper day, her instincts had never lied to her. Could not do much work so she left to hurry home unless she gets home and sees everyone is okay, then she would know that all is okay but until then. Coming home and meeting things the way they wear confirmed her suspicions, she was trembling and could not get herself inside. Alex had calmed down and took a deep breath then went inside to meet the most gruesome sight ever. Her brain was forced to assimilate what her eyes saw. Her parents were lying in their own pools of blood with several open wounds from bullets here and there, her brother was lying unconsciously by her mothe
"Stacy for heaven's sake why are you calling me, you know I hate calls"Josh angrily said the moment he picked up the call, Stacy could feel the venom in his voice. Well, she is used to him so whatever he does now surprise her not at all. "I just want to confirm if what I heard is true"She questioned him without mincing words. Josh knew his brother had called Stacy but so what? It's his life and they should all fvck off. This is a time when people should start minding their business when it comes to the affairs of his life. "You heard correctly but if I may ask, what exactly did you hear""Oh, Josh! don't play with my intelligence, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I am talking about your supposed wedding tomorrow. I thought it was Luke's wedding. How come it's now yours and why are you getting married without a bride?" Josh chuckled at how silly Stacy sounded at the moment. Her informant should have let her know he had got a bride. " Why would I wed withou
Josh finally got to his grandfather's room after he knocked countless times and the door was not opened. He let himself in and found his grandfather absent from the room. He heard the shower running and knew at once that he was taking a shower. He chuckled at how weird his grandfather's room is. He has got it all pinky like a lady's room and the funny part is when his grandma was alive, she got her room blues. Josh has wondered why they are the opposite of what they are. He has always seen his family as a weird one, how can one of them be getting married tomorrow and his parents are nowhere to be found? His father would prefer to tour around with his mother than to be home and if not that grandfather has given them the order to be home, they might have spent Christmas in London. He is not surprised though, since he was a kid, it's been his grandfather looking after him and Luke and he has gotten used to the way his parents live their lives but it still baffles him sometime
Josh took a sip of his whiskey, he was getting bored already. He can't wait for the damn wedding to happen so that he would go back to London, dealing with his grandfather is not among one of his agendas for the new year, he would definitely go insane if he dares. "And no matter what your wife ever does to you, don't react immediately, think twice before reacting. In that way, you understand why she has to do what she did. Women are so complex, understanding them is like trying to see what tomorrow has in store for you. Don't ever dare to try and understand her because your mental health will be at stake." Senior Bleak paused and took another sip from his whiskey, he stared at Josh to see his expression but Josh was expressionless. This his grandson knows how to keep his emotions in check. He is proud of him in some ways. Senior Bleak is so afraid about his grandson's bride, Alex Coker. She has a past with his two grandsons and he does not know how the whole thing is going
