Bianca sat on the bed and faced the wall, Shina was still sleeping or so she thought. She was unaware of the saga going on in the mansion. She has been waiting to hear from Jerry and since he had not called her, she called him instead. Two rings and he picked up."How is it going?" She asked without wasting time."Things are going according to plan," Jerry said with no emotion attached. He was thinking he could do this without her interfering and calling him at that time was just to distract him. "I can handle this on my own. Just don't call me again until I call you."Bianca got furious and stood up, "you don't tell me what to do. If I did not bring up that plan, would you have known what to do? Just don't mess up, I can't wait to have the father of my child. Shina needs a father." Jerry gritted his teeth at the manner in which Bianca spoke to him. "You do realize that if I wanted this game to stop, I would do so. I would just walk to her this minute and tell her everyt
The family settled down to have breakfast after Bianca and Shina arrived. The only people missing were Alex, Luke, and Christy, the new girlfriend. If Alex could be absent then it was okay for everyone not to be present. They were having a mushroom breakfast. Everyone had their plate in front of them and mindfully, they devoured the mushroom.The dining table was so silent like a graveyard which couldn't say it was unusual because silence was associated with the Bleak Ander was bothered about Alex. The first time he ate without her aside was when he was in school. Senior Bleak could not stop thinking that his daughter lived all this while why he thought she was dead and the most painful part of it was, Jessica lived in abject poverty, she never got to enjoy life. "I am sorry, my darling. I was not a father enough to protect you and I make you promise today that I will make it up to Ander and Alex all you never had," he said in his mind. Josh kept digging his fork int
Moriah returned with a tray of refreshments. A chocolate cake and a mug of juice with glasses for six and sauce plates too, for the cake and table knife. She set the tray at the center and sat down. "Ander, can you serve us please," she said and found one person missing."Where is Alex?" She asked looking from one person to another while they all stared at her. "She is not here, aunt," Ander said and stood up to serve the drinks. He was done and passed the glass of juice and gave each person his or her own sauce of cake and then took his and went to sit down. "You all are welcome and I am happy to have you here. Alex left here yesterday and I know I will see you soonest. My mother sends her regards," Moriah said and took a sip from her drink. "That's right, Moriah. I am glad to see you all grown. Without wasting time, please can you tell us what we need to know? We want to know why Jessica lived up to five years ago," JB said and set his glass of juice on the side stool and
"The mistake Peters made was not having the balls to confide in his father and letting Wills control him for over twenty years. He loved Jessica so much that he could do anything for her and the kids" "I don't understand what you mean by'' 'he made dad kill himself and mom?" Ander asked. "That evening when he invaded the house with you and Alex being absent. He asks Jessica to choose between him and your dad or he would kill your dad and still take your mum. Your dad could not bear the thought of having Jessica go through that trauma so he Killed Jessica with his own gun and killed himself afterwards. The most foolish thing your father has ever done," Moriah said and all sighed. "Dad kept a gun?" Ander managed to ask and Moriah nodded at him. "A message has been sent to them by Wills that's why he sent you both out. Your dad could have run away but he was tired of being manipulated by Wills so he waited to see what Wills will come up with. Your parents were ready for whate
Christy continued, "Jessica's twin sister was sold to one doctor Chris and when my mama had her first child and she died, papa knew that Mama would not take it likely so he met Dr. Chris, who was the doctor who helped mama deliver at Bevy hospital, London for a solution and since Dr. Chris was planning to put up the sold baby for adoption, he gave her to Papa after father has paid $20k to him. The mistake they made was recording the event," She concluded. Luke stood up, "this Willam worth is my Grandfather's best friend and business partner and the same man faked his death and is planning to frame my Grandfather for it. What I can't get is, why will he be this heartless to the extent of separating a child from his parents and killing the sister and still hellbent on destroying the family."Christy chuckled, "Humans are the most unpredictable creature alive. Greedy can make them do anything. The truth is fair. A man who is capable of faking his death can do anything. He simply wa
Christy was smiling mischievously and Luke was entirely surprised. "I don't seem to understand the sudden smile. What is it all about?" Luke asked when he could not keep quiet. "You know I said that I took your relationship offer because I wanted to find the connection between you and my sister and now that I have got my answers, are we still in a relationship?" She asked, battering her eyelashes with her hand caressing his chest. Luke grinned at her, "what if I say the relationship has expired, what are you going to do?" Luke asked with a smirk on his first. "Well I will say it has not expired, besides, I am beginning to like you, your nonchalant attitude. I know you are bossy but behind that facade is a sweet dude," Christy replied with a huge smile on her face, Luke chuckled. She was being adorable and he loved it. "It's up to you," he said and Christy jumped on him. "Thanks, baby boo, I love you," she said as she hugged him tired. Her craziness was everything an
With tears in her eyes, Alex walked into the room and met Bianca at the door. Bianca stepped aside for her to go in. Alex did not know what Bianca was doing there and why Josh was pacing around but she knew that whatever it was, was not good but because she would not let a stranger interfere, she walked back to the door while Bianca watched. Bianca did not anticipate her next move because it happened so fast, the next thing she was standing outside the room and the door was banging on her face and a clicking sound was heard, which indicated that Alex locked the door. Bianca was not angry about how Alex treated her because she knew it would be the last time she would ever do so. Alex wiped her tears and walked up to Josh. "Josh!" She gently called and Josh spared her no glance. "What's going on, Josh?" She asked him yet he did not say anything. "Josh, I am talking to you, why are you giving me the silent treatment?" She asked heartbrokenly. Josh spun around and faced her
Luke and Christy walked into the mansion and met Josh on his way out. Josh was not smiling which was unusual of him. No matter what, he never frowned but today, the ever-smiling Josh had a reason to frown and whatever it was must have really hit him hard. Luke's silliness could not stop him from smirking at Josh which Christy found not funny. Christy nudged him and he chuckled this time. Josh said nothing and walked away. Deep down in Luke's heart, he felt for his brother but he had to be this way because he knew William has got eyes on him and until Willam has gone down, he remains the Bleak black sheep. "Do you have to be like this, can't you see he is hurting?" Christy flared up at him. Luke grinned and shook his head. "My eyes are working perfectly well so I can see that he is hurting. You should know better than me, I need to be like this for Willam to think I am with him. All you have to do here is to pretend that you are not supporting my unruly behavior and my Gran
