Alex and Ander got to the car and Alex creased her brows in askance. The dude scanned her and smirked before coming down from the car.Alex smiled when she realized who he was and stretched her hand toward him. "Jerry Chamber, long time.""Long time indeed, Miss Coker. Look at you, you are so grown. I could only recognize you by your pretty face." The guy said and took her hand in his and then drew it slowly to his lips and kissed it. "I can't believe I am seeing you again, Miss Coker," he said after kissing her hand. Alex chuckled and withdrew her hand from his and put it behind her. She could see a lot of changes in him. Way back then, Jerry would have jumped on her but here, he was being a gentleman. That was a good thing though because Josh would get so mad to see someone hugging his precious wife but no one would blame Jerry because he wouldn't know that Alex was married. "How time flies, I am shocked to see you as well. Who would think that thick head Jerry would b
"Dad, I was thinking what if I take full management of the corporation if you don't mind," The last thing Senior Bleak has expected to hear from his son. This couldn't be happening. Did he have a brain factory reset or what? "Well, I must say I am surprised. Josh has the decision to make. I handed everything over to him when you were not willing to be responsible."JB was surprised to hear that from his father. "Why all to Josh, what about Luke?" "JB, you seem to forget my rules regarding Bleak corporation. Luke is on a heavy allowance. He gets thousands of dollars in a month so he is not lacking in any way, financially and otherwise. He has to be married first for him to be able to hold an office, that's how it works. So when he gets married, an office will be given to him." JB sighed after hearing all his dad had to say. He totally forgot, he was just thinking maybe his dad excluded Luke. No matter what it is that anyone thinks, Luke is a Bleak and that's how it will
Josh quickly snatched the phone from her and the picture he saw was Alex and Ander with a guy who seemed to be kissing her hand romantically while Alex smiled lovely at him. He looked closely and could not believe that this guy had to be his friend, Jerry Chamber. He scrolled to the next pictures and saw Alex laughing at something and the next picture was when the three of them hopped into Jerry's car. Bianca did not fail to note the different emotions that played out on his face while he watched the pictures. Josh handed the phone to her with an expressionless face, "I am sure you will be disappointed to know that the guy is a family friend so Alex going out with him means nothing. You can leave my room now, thank you." Bianca was sure Josh was lying. When did it become okay for a married lady to go out with a guy other than her husband? She took the phone from him and shrugged off her shoulders. "You can pretend for all I care but be rest assured that Alex would soon
Jessica Coker was written boldly on the downside of the picture. A mere look at it one would tell the person in the picture was Alex's younger version and Luke could swear down with his life that this lady in the picture was Alex's mom. There was only one Jessica Coker he knew and that was Alex's mom. Luke was trying to figure out what Jessica's picture will be doing in his father's room. Could it be that they are related? Luke had many questions running through his mind and the only person who could answer them was ZICO. He picked the picture and stared at it and then kept it back. He opened the desk and found it empty, he opened the down one and found a photo album. He picked up the photo album and started flipping through it. He was just seeing a bunch of old pictures of people he didn't know, he continued to flip regardless. It came to a stage where he started recognizing some photos. He could make out ZICO's pictures when he was a kid and he looked so much like Luk
ZICO killed the engine of his car, picked up his laptop, and got down from the car. When he looked around and saw no one in sight, he ventured into the building in the opposite direction. He did not go straight to the entrance, but rather walked behind the building and cracked the hidden door open. You can only know there was a door at the back of the building if you are conversant with the building. The building is an old one and it doesn't attract people to it because they feel it's worthless. But you could be shocked to find out that someone actually lives in it. ZICO was walking through the dark corridor when someone cleared his throat behind him. "What brought you here so early in the morning?"The man whose face has not been revealed due to how dark the corridor was, asked ZICO. "Father, you scared me," ZICO replied, clutching his heart ******* Luke sighed and shook his head, he was getting a headache from all of these. He put the album back and pocketed the papers and turn
"You can't believe that Peter Bleak was at my place yesterday. That man is loyal, Dad," ZICO said and Willam smiled. They were both seated in the dim sitting room, everything in the room was old but Willam did not mind anyway. He has been there as long as he could remember, hiding from the world so literally nothing matters to him other than to get revenge on Peter Bleak, his best friend. One could wonder what would make him seek out for his best friend when his best friend could literally do the world to see him smile. Was faking his death necessary? "What's loyalty when you could close your eyes and stab a friend in the back? My best friend did the unforgivable to me, Wills and until all that he has become ours, I would not rest. He would pay for taking what belonged to me years back." William said, bitterly. It was obvious he hates Senior Bleak with all the veins in him. "Dad, what exactly did he do to you?" ZICO asked, he had been asking this question almost all his life a
Their orders came and they all settled to eat their breakfast. Jerry waited for Alex and Ander to begin eating before he could start. Ander told himself he was not going to leave anything on his plate because not every time one comes across good food in a classy restaurant. This, he knew, was someone's daily breakfast. Ander's mood changed the moment he remembered what he found out at Jarden's penthouse. He and Alex were not poor as it was made for them to believe. He suddenly lost his appetite. Alex watched him as his mood changed from happy to angry. She could tell that Ander was clenching his fist because a mere look at the form in his hand, she could tell that. "Ander," she whispered to him. Ander looked at her and smiled, "yes, sis.""Are you okay?""Hundred percent okay," he replied and tried relaxing in order for Alex not to become more suspicious as she was already. After a moment he began eating. Jerry had not said a word as he focused on his meal. Their breakfast tim
Josh ran out of the restaurant, hoping to see Alex and Ander but no glimpse of them in sight. He was confused about where they had gone. Jerry joined him outside, breathing heavily. He had run outside too. "Where are you going running like that, man?'"I am looking for my wife. I can't find her.""Why don't you call her to know where she is," Jerry suggested and Josh hurriedly soothe for his phone. He called Alex but she did not pick it up, he called again yet no reply. "She is not picking. I seriously need to talk to her," Josh said gobbly. Jerry squeezed his shoulders and smiled at him, "just chill, I have known Alex. She is not the time that wants to stay away from someone she cares so much about. Just give her time, she will come around.""That's the point. I need to settle this with her now. If it lingers, it's a problem for me.""Excuse Sirs, I bet this belongs to any of you." Jerry and Josh heard and turned toward the voice. It was the security at the entrance, hand
