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 had signed the document and told William of the latest development. William had told him to meet him right away. He pulled his jacket up and walked out of the room with the files in his hand. 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. Getting inside, William was waiting for him. "That was so fast, you did what your father could not do in just a day. I am proud of you,"
Alex's phone rang and she hurriedly to pick it up where it lay carelessly on her bed. A smile crept into her face when she saw the caller, it was no other than her heartthrob, Luke. She was wet from showering and she did not mind knowing that any other thing can wait but her love can not wait. She picked it and his voice came through. "Being knocking for a while now, can you kindly come open the door for me?"He said dryly and hung up the call. She pulled the phone from her ear and stared at it. This was unusual for Luke not to say a word of greetings to her. His voice was cold and she fears if he is okay. "Hope he is okay?" She thought.What could have gone wrong? Did something happen at home? Is he fighting with his grandfather again? She was confused. She quickly dried her body and went in search of her clothes. Any cloth will do, it's obvious he has been waiting and she does not want him to wait any longer. She was actually getting ready for their dinner date and was so excit
Luke felt hurt by the brutality in which she wished him a merry Christmas. He was supposed to be happy that she did not make it difficult for him. She had understood but he had wished she fought a little. Truth is he was not expecting her to accept their break up, guess he wanted her to beg him to stay. He wished as she disappeared inside and knew for sure that this is the last time he is setting his eyes on her. His wedding is tomorrow and he needs to be at the bachelor party organized by his bachelor friends. Getting married at last.He sighed and palmed his face It's goodbye for the last time. "Merry Christmas, Miss Coker"They are now back to formality. How things end before they begin. He closed her door and stepped into the mood of the evening, Alex got to her room and slumped on the floor. She doesn't know whether to cry or laugh but she has to do one and that's to cry. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".She screamed and screamed. What the heck is wrong with the world? Why today
Alex stepped out of her apartment with a red scarf around her neck. The breeze blew past her face and she stood for a while before moving. It was Christmas and the winter air was at its peak. It's not a new thing. Winter on Christmas can freeze you to death. The street was so Christmastic, every corner was decorated with Christmas lights. And children singing voices were heard. Typical Christmas in Greywave, it's always like this every year. GreyWave and her people don't joke with Christmas because they believe so much that the Savior of the world was born during that period which is absolutely the truth to the Christian Brethren. It's a season of love and homing coming for many and it's only a few that does not partake in the celebration because of whatever they believe in. A lot of weddings happen and so many others, it's in this period that the noble gets to display their nobility. Those who have cash spend them and the billionaire gangs cruise the community. Alex fi
Josh Bleak had been sitting in his car for heaven knows when and he does not even have a clue when he will be leaving there. The evening was becoming chilly and he had whined up his car window.His phone rang and it was his old man. He sighed and picked up the call."Hello grandpa""Young Man, where the hell are you? I asked you to come home to stay at home not to go stay outside. You know you are my eldest, every grandchild of mine misbehaving, learns from you because they emulate you. If you don't want me to have it hot with you, get yourself down here in immediately"His grandfather said and hung up the call, it was just a few seconds call. When will his grandfather understand that he is not a boy anymore? Josh Bleak is almost thirty and should not be ordered around. He pulled the phone from his ear and smiled with one side of his mouth pulled up. "Sorry grandfather but I have to disappoint you this time around. You asked me to come down to GreyWave and here I am, what you ar
"Hey mister, are you nuts upstairs, is something wrong with you? Let me go this moment!" Alex screamed still struggling with him, she was not having any of it. If she knew someone was in the car she would not have done what she did. She just wanted to see how puffy her eyes were and to try and clean her eyes. That's all she did but this monster of a man who has no human sympathy made matters worse for her and on it, he still kidnapped her. "Keep your hands off the steering, if not, you are going to get us both killed, young lady!" Josh yelled, he was having some much fun and the reaction on her face was making his evening. Damnit, this is going to be the best Christmas Eve. He knows he is crazy however why he is forcefully taking her with him is what he does not know, does it show the extent of his craziness? He just can't let her go even if he wants to. Alex stopped struggling with him when she realized that it was effortless. She needs to think of something to do. She can't be
Luke settled in the car and called his grandfather to know why he so wanted him to call urgently. "Grandfather"He said grumpily when the call got connected. The old man scoffed at his end. He can't believe that this grandson of his is just calling him now after he had ignored his calls severally. "Luke, get your damn ass home, the wedding is canceled" Senior Bleak said and the line went dead. Luke blinked twice and hissed, he is not sure he had his grandfather correctly. How can they just call off the wedding without his consent? Who did his grandfather take him for? After he broke up with his girlfriend for life because of the damned wedding, now it's off. This must be one of his grandfather's pranks but his old man does not joke about things like this. He is too old for jokes like this. There is only one way to find out and that's to head back to the mansion. He did a quick reverse and in no time he was on the highway driving above his speed limit. He was just praying and
Luke drove into the mansion and rushed out heading towards the main entrance where he met his grandfather waiting for him impatiently. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time."What took you so long to arrive here, young man, don't you know how to drive again?"Senior bleak questioned his youngergrandson. He can't believe how clumsy they are becoming."Sorry grandpa, I am here now. So why doyou need me home so urgently." Luke asked, hoping that he would say something else other than what he told him on the phone."Like I said, the wedding has been canceled. The Sahery has called to say that their daughter has gone missing therefore no wedding but the information I got said that she has secretly married her long-term lover and there is nothing I can do about that. After all, I never supported your relationship with her. So take heart, son and have a nice Christmas Eve, I will be in my room." Senior Bleak said and left with his bodyguard, he did not give Luke a second
