Jerry saw the confusion on her face and figured out she might be wondering why his things were outside the closet.

"I don't live here anymore, I am just crashing in," he explained and she nodded her head and then smiled, "that explains it but don't you think your shirt will be big for me, let me manage mine," she insisted.

"Alex, if you want to get something for me to eat then you have got to wear my shirt. If not, forget about it because I would not allow you to go outside looking like this. My shirts don't bite, you used to wear my clothes back then, nothing has really changed between us."

Alex avoided his stares, something had changed between them. They were no longer teenagers and she was married. Things could never be the same again. But for the matter not to be dragged on longer, she agreed to wear his clothes.

    Ander and Josh arrived in senior Bleak's room. Senior Bleak looked towards the door expecting Alex to walk through and when he did not see her, he looked at Josh who was wondering why everyone in the room had to wear a gloom on those faces. "Morning, dad and mom, good morning Grandfather," he greeted his parents and his grandfather regardless. His parents acknowledged him and Senior Bleak gave him a small smile instead. "Where is Alex?"

    "Finally, I got to see my grandson," Luke heard behind him and turned to behold an older version of ZICO. Indeed blood never lies. Though the place was dark, he could still make out what the man before him looked like. "Who are you?" Luke asked, pretending not to know him. "Why be so daft? I know your father did not mention me to you, I understand but you see, I did not die as your grandfather wanted. Someone saved me and for that, I have to hide away from your grandfather because if he gets to know that I live, he will come after me. I am sure he killed your father," William said as the victim he was not. Luke cursed in his mind. These two people had planned to use him by emotionally blackmailing him.

He had been thankful that he heard the voice note yesterday, if not he would still think that his grandfather was the one behind the whole th

    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.

    The family settled down to have breakfast after Bianca and Shina arrived. The only people missing were Alex, Luke, and Christy, the new girlfriend.

    "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.

    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?"

    31 December…. It was seven in the morning and Luke stood in the middle of his room staring at the fake will his lawyer had passed across to him not long ago.

He walked past his grandfather without saying anything and continued walking down the stairs. Senior Bleak did not even mind and continued his way up the stairs. Luke walked to the box of keys and picked up Josh's car. He was not boarding any cab today. His car and that of Christy will arrive today unfailingly. He strolled outside and walked towards Josh's car, got in, and drove away. In less than twenty minutes, he was at William's hideout. He parked and walked in through the secret entrance.

    Stacy Jackson stood shocked as her father handed her traveling documents and a permanent resident card for her sudden trip to Australia. He did not even allow her to come inside the house. "Dad, what is all this?" She asked in a high-pitched voice. "Young lady, don't raise your voice at me. You leaving GreyWave, it's what it is," he responded without any emotion in his voice.

    Christy managed and stripped off her dress and went into the bathroom to freshen up. She did not take time, she came out as soon as she entered. One would actually think that she did not shower at all but the water drops on her body will change your mind. She put on a simple gown and went out of her room. Bobby and Gab with Mrs. Matilda sat at the dining table with Erica absent. Christy took a seat opposite her mother while Gab kept staring at her with a smirk on. She ignored him totally and forced her mind to focus on how to break the news to the family. Erica appeared a moment later and sat beside Christy and gave her a sweet smile. "You can as well put a smile on your face please," Erica whispered and Christy nodded. "Shall we eat now?" Bobby said, putting his phone inside his pocket. "Of Course, we should," Mrs. Matilda responded and asked Maria to dish out the food for them. Lunch was off Black Pudding; a meal made from blood sausage of animals, cerea

"We are here, do you need any special thing you want me to do for you?" Alex smiled at him and got her purse."Not really, I will help myself through," she said and got down and started walking towards the park restaurant. A man with a black hood on stood in the opposite direction and pretended to be getting a ticket when Alex walked past him.

    Josh walked into Senior Bleak's study and found his grandfather bent on something. "Grandfather, you send for me," he said and Senior Bleak looked up at him. "Yes, I did. Get your father for me," Senior said and waved him off. Josh turned and left. Getting to his father's room, he saw him pacing around with his mom under the duvet. The atmosphere was a bit tense. "Father, Grandfather wants to see you," he said to his father and made to leave but his father's words stopped. "I heard you both are getting a divorce?""Yes, we are," Josh responded and waited to hear his father lash at him but JB did the opposite, he shrugged his shoulders. "Do what you think is the best," JB said and Josh was shocked by his father's reaction. This was unlike him. Things were going at a fast pace and he was just realizing it.

    Josh was beyond reasoning. He could not hold himself anymore. The man standing in his front used to ask questions before dishing out blames but since he found his grandkids, he changed, it just has to be about them. Josh felt he was no longer his grandfather who nurtured and loved him. "I see where this is coming from. Alex was right. When you are done with your nonsense, meet me in the study, and as for the divorce, I will make sure it happens because I am the reason you both got married in the first place," Senior Bleak said and walked out of his grandson's room "The young man's sense of reasoning had been clouded with jealousy. A man that is jealous of his wife is not fit to remain married to her," Senior Bleak concluded.Josh kicked the bed and raced down everything on Alex's dressing table. This was more than he could take. It had always been him and no one else, he should better go back to the old Josh. The one who didn't care about love. His holidays were over fo

    Alex stood outside the door and let her tears flow. She stared at her wedding finger, her ring was not gone. She had returned it to the man who gave it to her. The man who had openly loved her for five days, the man who had suddenly lost interest in her because he figured that she belonged to the top and was threatened by it and that maybe, she would be chosen over him. Someone who claims to love you would not stop loving you because a table has been turned around in your life. That's what with the rich dudes, they want a trophy wife and once they realize that you wouldn't be or there was every tendency you will be richer than them, they will oppress you to the extent that your sanity will be forever gone from you. For a moment, Alex thought things would be fine but finding who she was had taken more happiness than it had given but no matter how hard it was for her to forget what had just happened, she would forget eventually. She thought of taking a vacation but decide

    The Devon family members sat round the dining table as they had lunch. It was not lunch time but Mr. Devon insisted because of Ander. Ander had seen more than he expected. The whole family was hell-bent on making him happy and as well making him feel at home. Devon was definitely planning something big for Alex and Ander but he was the only one aware of it. He wanted to take his family by surprise. The lunch was over and they left the dining room one after the other to the living room. "So Ander, I was thinking if you should live here but if you choose to live at the other place, it's your choice," Henry said and looked at his father. Ander hasn't really thought about coming in to live at the Devon's Mansion. He had gotten used to his maternal home. "It does not necessarily mean I have to stay here permanently.

    "Can I ask you for a favor?" She asked, looking so humble, she just had to be that way so that he could grant her the request. "What favor?""Can I take a selfie with you?" Adeana asked."Sure, you can."Josh gave her permission and she took a couple of selfies. After that, she pecked him on the cheek and stepped down. "Thanks for today," she waved at Josh, Josh nodded and drove away. Josh left and the smile on her face got replaced with a smirk. "Men like you are easy to trick, you have trusted me so much that you told me your little secret. I don't mean bad, just that I am beginning to like you," she murmured and walked towards her apartment. Josh could not stop thinking about what Adeana said. He just realized that he couldn't vouch for his wife because he didn't know her that much. "What if Adeana was right?" He kept asking.
