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
Alex, who did not mind that she was naked, glared at Josh and bit her lips. Normally, she would have been conscious of herself but because she was damned angry, her nakedness did not matter, besides, Josh is her husband. She backed Josh and picked up her sponge and continued scrubbing herself. She was ignoring Josh totally. Josh thought of something that would make her mind him and got one.He quietly left the bathroom which brought relief to Alex. "If not that I love you so much, you would have been nursing your pain now." Alex knows her capacity when it comes to physical combat which always gives her the confidence that she would beat Josh up because she has been beating up her stalkers in the past. Only that she failed to realize that Josh is not one of those her stalkers and he can equally beat her easily. Alex had put off the shower to allow her to scrub her body but as she put it on, the shower did not run and that was awkward. In a five-star hotel like theirs
An hour later, a knock came at the door and Alex went to get it thinking it was room service. She opened the door and met a delivery guy at the door. "Good morning, Mrs. Josh Bleak?""Yes, I am.""Oh great...I am from Helge delivery service. I got a parcel for you. Sign here," The guy told her and pointed to her where she could sign, after signing, he handed the parcel over to her and left. Alex looked at the parcel and wondered when could have sent the parcel to her. She contemplated whether to open it or not. The parcel was wrapped in colorful wrapping paper and the shape was that of a box. She opened the wrap to reveal another wrap with paper attached to it. "Merry Christmas to You, Mrs. Josh Bleak Coker, I believe this box will get to you. You don't need to ask questions about who I am or how I got to know about this. And don't think I killed your parents because that will be ridiculous. In this box, deep secrets are hidden and if you are not ready to know what
JB stared at his wife who shrugged off her shoulders. "Don't worry about these two. They will be fine, bet me on it," Susan clicked her tongue in assurance while staring lovely at JB "I hope so, dad is becoming something else and Luke is not left out. It's like we are strangers to them now," JB said and returned his attention to his meal. Nothing will ever make him lose his appetite. Luke got to his room and sank onto his couch and palmed his face. His parents care about nothing else except themselves. He is forced to go ask them if they are his parents or if he was adopted but he is not the only one on this boat, Josh is in this with him. He can't get it. Even now that they are all grown-ups, his parents still did not care. "What a shame that you both are my parents," he muttered and a text came to his phone, it was from his informant."So from what I have gathered Grey returned home but there were some movements at the Coker's apartment which shows that some peopl
"So, where are we going?"Alex broke the silence, she felt they were taking too much time hugging and asking Josh that will remind him that they have got a place to go. "It's a surprise. So shall we?" He pulled away from the hug and took her hand and they went into the limousine that had been running, waiting for them. They settled comfortably and the driver kicked the engine and off they went. The limousine went cruising into the beautiful city of Miami. Alex loved what she was seeing and she was so much liking the feeling. It's the best feeling ever, to sit beside the one she loves and watch the city as beautiful as it is. The city was still keeping its spirit of Christmas, it was just 27 and Alex felt that her Christmas this year has been the best so far and with Josh, she would celebrate many more in peace. She entwined her hands with Josh's and put her head on his shoulder then sighed. For the first time since her parents died, she had the feeling it was going to
"Far away in the Bliss, when trouble arisesThe love that we shared will bind us, keeping us safe from troublesFamily is all that matters, getting each other's back when it matters mostNever forget that we are forever bound by love, never forget"He smiled when he was done playing his Melody. He and Alex made up the words and he skillfully converted them to tunes he played during his leisure time. Ander turned and left his room. He had gotten what he needed so going to the mansion was the next thing. He skipped to the living room and got his parents' picture frame and left immediately. Immediately he came out of the building and boarded the next cab that came his way, a guy came out of a corner and watched the cab as it disappeared. "Sir, it looks like the boy came for his guitar and his parents' picture frame. He has nothing else with him except those two things."He spoke through the intercom and whoever he spoke to acknowledged him and he ended the call and walked aw
"I really don't have anything to give and I am so sorry that I walked into your den. But you see this boy here," Ander said pointing to himself, "you need to let him go.""Y'all rich kids think we are fools. Can you hear yourself?" The guy who had spoken up earlier spat out angrily. "You are so selfish. You eat and expect us not to eat. We will do you nothing just to hold you against your will and get some cool cash from your rich parents," the guy further said like he was not angry a moment ago. "That will not be necessary. Ander gets over here, Let's go." They all turned, including Ander, to see a masked guy with his bike running. For the fact that the guy knew his name, he just had to trust him but what if he was an agent too but why would anyone want to kidnap him? If only they know he is just an orphan who has got only his sister to look after him. Ander moved to the masked guy before the guys could react, the guy handed him a helmet and sped off when Ander had settle
