Josh put on his wristwatch and stared at himself in the mirror, he was good to go. He had decided to go look for Alex and if there was anywhere she should be, it had to be her apartment. Though the last time they went there, she got kidnapped but as it was now, she would feel comfortable there. He blamed himself for not thinking in that direction since. By now, he might have made up with her. He was wearing light yellow Pants with a black polo and black leather sandals. He walked to his bed, picked up his phone and his keys, and left his room. Coming out from his room, he met Senior Bleak who scanned him from head to toe. "Josh, where is Alex?"Josh kept mute, he had no answer for his grandfather. "Don't tell me she is not back and you are in this house?""Grandfather, I am sorry, she left and I had been trying to get to her but couldn't." "You did not try enough, Josh. Your concubine is here inconveniencing your wife and all you say is, she left and you can't get to her.
Shina had gotten herself seated while her eyes were all over the place. The place was small compared to her home back in London but she did not mind being there as long as she was with her dad and this other mummy of hers. She really liked Alex but was still confused because her mum had told her stories. Alex was not really comfortable that Josh met her in that position. She impossibly wouldn't say what was going on in his mind. "See Josh, that thing was nothing."Josh shrugged and sat down."I know it's nothing. I trust you Alex and no matter what I had done in the past, don't ever think you should pay me back because I would not be able to cope," he said and patted a space for her to sit down. She sat down and he pulled her close and then beckoned on shina to come close which she did. "You see, Shina, she is your daughter too. She is innocent of all of these and you can be a better mom to her."Alex sighed and pulled Shina to herself. She has no issue with the little girl
The moment Luke closed his door, Christy gave him a resounding slap. He never anticipated that slap."Are you mad or something? Where I was brought up, I was told not to disrespect elders. I thought you were a cool guy, I don't know you are this cold," she said viciously.Luke rubbed his right cheek and glared at her. Before Christy could free herself from him, he pinned her to the wall and crushed his lips against hers. Christy's brain went fergie and she became stiff. The last thing on her mind was a kiss from a total stranger though she had fancied other things about Luke. Luke pulled away and smirked, "don't ever try this again with me," he said and walked out, locking the door from outside. ********* Alex came down from the cab and paid her T-fare. She took a deep breath and looked around. It has been almost two weeks since she came there and why she was there now, she didn't even know. she thought since she couldn't have her peace at her apartment,
Luke knew that if he was aware of what he found out in the morning, Bianca would not have been here. He was still going to find what Jessica Coker's photo was doing in his father's room. ZICO had an explanation to do and he would take it slowly. While Mr. Wills and Mr. William think he is with them, he would dig out the hidden secrets. Only then would he make up with his family? Though the way he was going, his grandfather might get fed up with him soonest, he just prayed that the game would be over by then. His mind went to the lady he locked up in his room and he frowned. Luke did the wrong thing by locking her up, she was not his prisoner but all these were acts he was putting up for his grandfather to think he was not with The Bleaks."Christy darling, I am sorry," He muttered pitifully. ******** Stacy came down from the cab and paid the man and then walked into the mansion to meet her father waiting for her at the sitout with no smile on his face. Stacy quickly knew that all wa
Moriah came back bearing a tray of food with a sweet smile plastered on her face. She kept it beside Alex and sat down, "I don't really have good food in the house. Please manage this one.""I would have said don't worry but I know you, you won't hear of it. I will take anything you give me." Alex said and opened the dish. It was rice and sauce. She smiled thankfully to her and picked up her spoon. "You look good, I must confess. What have you been feeding on?"Alex scooped a spoonful of rice into her mouth and chuckled, "normal food.""I see. That's nice. Enjoy your meal, I will be right back," Moriah said and left Alex alone.Alex took another spoonful of rice and another one then like that she finished the meal in a few seconds. She did not eat lunch which might have added to her appetite. She picked up the tray after taking a drink of water and headed into Moriah's kitchen. Alex knew her way around her. Within a few minutes, she was back in the living room to wait for M
"Guess what, I am ten today and dad had made me a promise to take me round his business empires. It makes me want to be old and be like him. Hopefully, someday I will be like him. I love you so much, dad."Ander smiled and flipped to another page. "Since I was a baby to nine years plus age, I have never been this scared in my life. Dad does not see that his friend has evil intentions against him. I wish I could tell him but he would think I am out of my life." This was two days after Peters celebrated his ten-year birthday. Ander wondered who could be this frenemy his supposed Grandfather had. Ander got to another page, "for ten days now, he has not come around. I wish he would never come around ever again. His smiles creep me out and he has this evil laughter that I can't stand. Too bad, dad is not seeing who he truly is." Ander continued to flip and most of the things Peters wrote were his happiest moments, why he loved his dad, and his promises to be a good dude when he finally
It was clear to Luke now that his grandfather was the one good. Wills Worth and his father can go to hell and burn to ashes. "So who is going to serve them the court papers?" "You, of course, have to employ the best lawyer and when all of these are over, you know what will be your gain, the heir to the Bleak corporation," ZICO said and stood up followed by Luke."I understand, I will get to you as soon as possible. Latest tomorrow," Luke said assuring. ZICO nodded his head and led him to the door and bid him farewell. After Luke left, ZICO smiled mischievously. "Luke, I'm sorry to disappoint you but you are also a Bleak and I tell you when I lay my hands on all that Mr. Peter has, my father and you, I will have to deal with both of you. I can't suffer my whole life just to be a middleman." ********** Josh drove through the big gate and killed the engine. Ander got down and said no word of whatsoever and walked into the mansion. It was evening and he co
Alex blinked and shook her head. she did not understand why she had to stare like that. it was rude of her to behave in an uncivilized manner. She tried smiling but failed."I am sorry I had to stare like that. I was passing and I heard noises, I thought maybe you were in trouble but thank goodness you are not," she rambled nervously. Christy walked to her and touched her face, "Erica!"Alex widened her eyes and stepped back a little, "sorry, I am Alex, not Erica.""I know you are not Erica but you looked so much like my sister," Christy said and rushed to her bag at the foot of the bed and grabbed it, looking for her phone. When she found her phone, she unlocked it and showed Alex the picture of her sister. Alex stared at the picture and frowned. There was no doubt that the woman in that photo was her mom but she knew her mom died five years back and she was at the funeral service and saw her buried, it could not be her mother unless the dead do come back. "I am sorry to
