Alex came out wrapped in a towel and met her mother-in-law on her bed with a gloom on her face. Alex walked to her and sat beside her, "are you okay, mother?' She asked calmly.Susan looked at her daughter-in-law for sometimes then pulled her into a hug. It feels right when you are with your fellow gender. She was being too strong yet she did not want Alex to feel sorry for her. "Mother, whatever it is, it's going to be fine," Alex assured her and she broke the hug. "You know the first time I saw you I knew there was something special about you. I could place it because I have seen photos of Jessica right from age 5 to when she was a baby. I was sure you looked so much like her but who was going to believe me because we thought she was dead? I couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of you being related to my father-in-law. The Look was there, the attitude and the smile but I guess we were all blind by the fact that Jessica was dead and there is no way you could be any
Shina shook her head vigorously, "Mummy, I am okay knowing that I have a father, maybe someday when I grow up and become big he will come for me. I don't want you doing things you are not supposed to do because of me. I want to be loved willingly, not by force," She said with shaking lips. Bianca stared at her daughter as tears welled up in her eyes. She has gone too deep to stop now. Her daughter deserved to be here because that was where she belonged. "You don't need to worry about that, definitely everyone will come to terms that you are the great-granddaughter of Bleak and will love you equally. You don't have to worry yourself, my darling, because I know your Daddy loves you so much. I want your daddy and me to be there for you. That's what I'm fighting for. How will you feel for someone else's to bear a sister or a brother for you instead of me? Don't you think your Daddy will love that person more and I don't want that for you. I know I made mistakes in the past, I d
Josh had his mind filled up as he drove towards AceBounce. It was early in the morning for one to go to a bar but he wanted to be in a place where his mind could be off the whole drama. He knew he was acting childish but he couldn't help matters. Alex was not actually the problem, he was and deep down in his soul, he knew that that picture was edited but he just wanted to hope on it and find excuses. Alex might have gone to see Jerry but not because she was in love with Jerry but on a friendship level and it was left for him to let her explain. He sighed and let his eyes roam around as he drove. The morning was a bit chilly yet he was sweating. He remembered his encounter with Jerry not while ago and he could see that Jerry wanted him to believe that Alex loves him romantically. Jerry needed more than a picture to convince him. Six days ago when he was planning to come back, he just wanted to obey his grandfather's order and attend Luke's wedding and probably go the nex
Stacy was stunned at how Josh walked off and what shocked her more was the fact that the friend he mentioned had to be the lady she sighted when she was coming into the bar. She knew the lady, she is one of the front desk attendants. They didn't give off the vibe that they have met and that could mean a whole lot of things. Josh got to Adeana and kissed her cheeks and asked for them to leave, Adeana was dumb to know that Josh's attitude had to do with Stacy Jackson and she played along. Stacy, despite being angry, took some photos of Josh and Adeana. It was a weapon she would use right now. Feeling disappointed, she stood up and left the bar. Mission aborted. ********** Luke, after he fooled around in his room then decided to answer his father to know what was up with him. It just took him a few seconds to get to his father's room and Luke being Luke, did not knock, he walked in as if it was his room. His father had his back to the door but co
After Ander left, in order for her to keep her mind occupied, Alex decided to see her grandfather. Alex picked up her phone and left the room, she contemplated where he would be and realized that he would be in his study so she turned towards his study. Getting there, she knocked and was invited in. Alex gently opened the door and walked in, this was the second time she would be coming to her grandfather's study. Senior Bleak smiled as she approached him. She got to him and found a photo album with him. "Alex dear, sit down," he said and she sat on the desk in front of him after he made space for her. "What are you doing, Grandfather?""Nothing much, I am just looking through your mummy's photos when she was younger. How time flies? Little Jessica of yesterday left adults behind and it makes me wonder how this life works. I remember when she runs around my studies and I have to scream Jessica stop and she will giggle telling me ``Dad I want you to chase me``" "You
The two best friends stared at each other. Jarden sighed inwardly, this Ander was the same who would be over him whenever they saw themselves. Ander being cold towards him was comprehensible. He is allowed to be as angry as he likes. "You can be mad but don't be too long. Nothing changed between us, we are still friends even though we are now brothers," Jarden said and Ander turned his back on him and walked to his bed. Jarden signed resignedly, he prayed that things returned to how they used to be. "I was so mad at grandfather when I realized that you are my cousin and he doesn't want to bring you home. I was like who does that? " Lillian suddenly started fuming. "He has his reasons, I understand and Alex does so if he doesn't want us back him, we are cool without him," Ander said coolly and pinched her cheeks, "tell me how was your vacation?" Ander asked Lillian while Jarden stared at both of them, he was sitting on the couch now. Before Lillian could answer, Shina r
Christy had a hand on the bed ray. She was glaring at Luke who seemed unbothered by her attitude. He sat on the couch with his phone in his hand. When she had stared too much, he dropped his phone and looked up at her."What's up with this look?" He asked, annoyed."I told you I booked a flight already to travel and what did you say? nothing." She fumed and Luke chuckled, "it's funny how you will ask a question and still give yourself an answer. What do you want me to do?" Luke asked, he was clueless about why she was fuming. "You could not even show that you will miss me," she stated and Luke laughed, it remained for him to roll on the floor. "Are you a child?""What do you mean if I am a child?" Christy asked, surprised."How can you be fusing over a little thing?"Luke asked, laughing. Christy glared at him and sat on the bed"It's easy for you to say that. You can laugh all you want." Luke stopped laughing and walked to her in the bed. "You see, we just met. You don
Lillian didn't understand what Alex was going through at the moment or what was going through her mind and why she was looking this confused but the man in the picture she hasn't seen since she came into the mansion. "I have not seen anyone like him and no one has come into the mansion because I was on the balcony with Shina for a long time now." Alex nodded at her and then walked to the window, drew the blinds open, and did not see Josh's car. She was wondering if he went out after coming back but Lillian said no one had come in which was hard for her to believe or was she dreaming? Alex actually dreamt about Josh coming into the mansion and she confronting him on the bed. But she thought it was her reality and she would need a lot of convincing for her to believe it was a dream. "I don't understand. I thought my husband was back," Alex said and walked back to Lillian. "I don't think he is, are you sure you were not hallucinating?" Lillian asked and felt Alex's tem
