Alex sighed and snuggled against him. She was home after all. Josh is her home. As long as she lives, she would continue to be grateful for facing her fears without doing otherwise. Sometimes in life, taking risks is everything because if you fail to take risks, you are risking your life. Whether you take risks or not, it is still risky so to be on the safer side, take risks as much as you can, even though you might fail, and try again until you are there. "You know that evening you bundled me into your car. What I have planned to do to you if I was freed. You are lucky, I fell into the circumstances your Grandfather set up, if not, I would have beaten you to a pulp."She said, wrinkling her face. Josh chuckled, "I wondered where your power lies because anyone seeing you will think you would not do more than a dead rat. Anyway, you could have pushed or little of that but beating me to a pulp, I doubt so." Alex could not contain the laugh she had been holding on since, she burst into
Getting to the down floor, it was filled to the brim. Almost everyone was down for breakfast. Sam sighted the couple from her table and strolled towards them. "Are you both lost or what? You are looking like lost children."Alex shook her head and Josh smiled at her. "No, we are not lost. We were surprised to find this crowd here unlike in the afternoon," Josh said on behalf of the two of them. "Well I got a table and it will serve three of us. Hi, Alex."Alex waved at her and they followed her to her table. They all settled down and Sam decided to ask them where they were when the commotion was going on about an hour ago. "I did not see you both earlier?"Sam asked Alex and Josh. The couple raised their brows at her. "Did something happen that required our presence?" Josh asked, curiously. "Yeah, the lady that picked on Alex went mad and almost pulled the hotel down."She told them and was kind of expecting reactions from Josh and his wife but they disappointed her by not showi
Mr. Jackson was staring down at his daughter who was seated opposite him looking so unbothered. She has been forced back to GreyWave and she was not happy about it and worst still, her phone has been seized from her father who would not listen to her pleas. "Stacey Jackson, I don't know how you manage to get to Miami. I asked you to come home in peace but what did you do? You would rather destroy the hotel before coming home in your quest for revenge. When will you understand that sometimes, you don't always get everything you want, all things are not meant for you." "Dad, I don't have a thing to say to you but you don't expect me to fold my hands and watch that gold digger take my man away. Even if I don't get her now, I will get her later and I tell you, dad, you would not be able to stop me."She snapped viciously. Mr. Jackson sighed and shook his head. His daughter would never learn. Locking her up and removing every access to the outside world might calm her down for a while.
Ander Coker didn't understand anything Jarden was saying because he has no clue at all. He might not have had any luxury but he didn't know what it means to lack because anything he ever wanted was provided to him both by his parents and Alex. He has dreams to have better and he would work towards it. "Thanks, Jarden, I feel I am entirely blessed to have you and my sis in My life. I feel like I have everything because all that matters most is having the people who understand you being all measure and you and My sis have been more than that." Ander knew more than anyone else."It's okay. I am blessed to have you as a friend. You are true to yourself and I love that" ************* Senior Bleak looked at the name again written boldly and wondered why he felt this Jessica is connected to him for all he knows anyone can bear Jessica. He can't seem to place his hand on it but he knows that she can't be because he has no one who could birth Jessica and his own Jessica was dead and gone s
The masked guy grinned and left too. It was time to call it a night but he has to report to his boss though he has been doing that since today but for the last report, he will make sure to deliver. His men have done enough for today and sometimes in the future, he is going to reward them even if his boss does not. A lot has happened and Josh and his wife just made his night by displaying that drama at the lounge. He got to his room and put the light on and got his system. One more thing and he would be down for a pleasant night. ********** The evening was well spent between Ander and Jarden. They chilled together and talked about so many things concerning their lives. It was great between the two and Jarden entertained Ander to his satisfaction. Ander was glad he decided to take a walk because he was able to have a fulfilling evening. Jarden dropped him at the mansion gate and left after telling him to be careful and mindful of how he moves aro
Alex came out of the bathroom still frowning. She couldn't believe that Josh would allow her to be in that kind of mood for a long time. He must have smoked something to think it was funny to say all that he said yet he said no sorry. It's both of them tonight. She had concluded how she was going to deal with him tonight. Her plans, mapped out, remain to execute it. She gingerly pulled the closet open and stared at the lingerings Senior Bleak had gifted her as part of her wedding gift. Her raging heart did not allow her to blush in peace. She blushed and went back to her normal expression. Josh sat on the bed and watched her every movement. He saw her stare at the lingerings and laughed in his mind. Is his wife considering wearing one tonight? Alex shook her head and grabbed another pair of pajamas. None of these clothes here are hers. They were all bought new and at this point, she would have been comfortable in her old clothes. She concluded that when they go back
Alex woke up feeling thirsty and made to stand up only to be snuggled against something. She was snuggled against Josh and getting up due to her position was Impossible, Josh might wake up and she didn't want that so she gently and slowly pulled herself away from him and went in search of water. Josh had brought bottles of water up to the room earlier in the afternoon, so she picked one bottle and drained the water then walked back to the bed and sat down.She recounted the dream she had and wondered why she would be taken back to when she was sixteen. She doesn't know if it was a dream or a memory she is meant to remember and after battling within her mind for a long time she figured out that it was not a dream but something that had happened a few nights before her parents were murdered. She saw her dream to be exactly how it happened and she never got to find out what was buried there because of her parents' death. She forgot all about it. She thought there will b
ZICO watched his men as they ransacked THE COKER's apartment. It was early morning. It was last night that he remembered that The Coker is in the position of a box he has been looking for ages and believes that the box will be in the apartment and had sent his men to the apartment to do a proper ransack as early as 6 am. He could have gone on his own but it would be too dangerous so he rely on his men to do the job. The apartment has been turned upside down and his men seem not to be getting close to seeing what they came for. Frustration was written all over their faces and once in a while, they will communicate with their boss through the intercom. The boss was not finding it funny because he was sure the box is inside the apartment. "Search every corner of the house, check unusual places and see if there are any carvings on the wall. The box is in the building" He instructed them once more and his men started all over again. After thirty more minutes of searc
