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
Luke walked upstairs and as he walked past Josh's room, he heard someone sniffing. It was no doubt, Alex. His heart went out for her and he gently opened the door to find her sitting on the floor weeping. Luke didn't know the fate of him and his brother now but for the sake that a man like senior Bleak had trained him and made him all that he was today, he owed Senior Bleak a lot and whatever it would take, he would bring William down. "I don't know you to be so weak, I don't care about what's going on between you and Josh but if you had stuck with me, you wouldn't have a reason to cry. I know I messed up but then we make mistakes and when we realize our mistakes and ask for forgiveness. It's the duty of the offended to forgive but it's so hard for you to forgive me, Alex. See what my brother is doing to you, I thought you say he loves you. I had never for once made you shed tears when you were with me," he took a deep breath and continued, "for your information, I didn't hav
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
