Susan got to her father-in-law's door and hesitated. She was so scared. She did not know how he would react seeing her. They have not been best of friends since she married into the Bleak household. She raised her hand to knock but paused in the mid-air and exhaled and then inhaled and finally knocked and waited to be invited in. After a second, Senior Bleak invited her in. She opened the door as if she was afraid that the door would disappear if she manhandled it, which she knew she was not planning to do. Susan stood two feet away from the bed, Senior Bleak was engrossed in his phone so he did not realize that she was the one. He thought it might be one of the maids and when the person who walked into his room did not say a word, he looked up to see his daughter-in-law looking all humble. "Hi Susan," he said and dropped his phone and asked her to sit down."Good morning, Dad.""Morning, sweet daughter. I am surprised to see you in my room," he said and raised his brows."I
Alex looked up at him and saw him handing a picture to her.Alex took the picture from him and smiled. It was a picture of Ander when he was five years old. He was crying in the picture. Alex could not remember what had made him cry while a picture of him was taken but she did remember that their parents had taken them out that day and had spoiled them with the little they had. She was seven. How can she remember anything when she was just a kid too? "I can't believe that this boy I see now was once a crying baby. You really gave dad and mom a tough time. You never stopped disturbing until after ten years."Alex said and handed the picture back to him. Ander took it from her and grinned. "I was the last born remember so I had got to disturb you all. You know as someone whose parents never had much, we had the best childhood ever. Dad and mom were everything and they were there for us all the time. I am grateful."Alex smiled at him and said nothing rather she patted his head
Bianca continues to stroll with nothing catching her fancy. She was as bored as death. She was not supposed to be this bored but here she was chasing what was not hers. On a holiday like this, she could be shopping with her sisters and touring around the world. This side of the town was calm yet she was not calm in her spirit. She had many thoughts running in her mind, thoughts of how best to bring Alex down. A way to frame her up so that Josh would have trust issues with her and she would be able to strike. She had walked about fifteen minutes when she saw this mall and decided to see what they have. She could sightsee and maybe afterwards, she could pick something for herself and Shina. When it comes to Shina, Bianca becomes the most caring person in the world. Shina brings out the best in her but like they say, You will always be who you are, no matter what. "New updates ma'am, at Lendo Store."Stacy stared at the text that entered her phone. Her informant just told
"That's me, I wondered what my girlfriend did to you to make you want to hit her?" Luke asked casually and walked to Christy, "are you okay, darling?" Luke asked Christy, looking over her to make sure she was okay.Christy smiled at him, she was amused at the sudden claim of ownership from her new boyfriend"I am fine," she managed to say.Stacy was not sure if she heard him right. Did he say, girlfriend? How did she not know?"Did you say, girlfriend?" Stacy asked. The matter before her was more than the issue of her damaged car. "You heard me right. So like I said before, what did she do that made you want to hit her?" Stacy stood rooted with no word coming from her mouth. Christy saw that the lady was not ready to table her offense, so she decided to do it herself. "She ran into us and insisted that we pay for the damages to her car."Luke grinned and looked at Stacy, "is that so? How much are we talking about here?" Stacy had not recovered from the shock of the lady
Stacy's cab dropped her at the front of the Lendo stores and she got down, paid him, and left without getting her balance back. The cab guy was clueless about what to do, he did not know if he was going to drive away or wait, and after much contemplation, he chose the latter. Stacy did not come to get anything only to warn her rival, with the way she carried herself, you would think she was the daughter of the president of the country. She and Bianca were birds of the same feathers, only that Bianca shows hers all the time while Stacy pretends most of the time.She walked into the store and saw Bianca at the counter. She knew Bianca but Bianca had no clue of what Stacy looked like. Bianca was through with picking what she wanted and was paying for them at the counter with her mean look plastered on her face. People around had wondered what would make such a pretty lady to be frowning all the time and no one was human enough to ask her why. Stacy sighted her and stylishly p
Ander and Alex had enough and they thought it was time to go home, they had seen enough, read enough, and cried enough but they were not done being angry. Alex had vowed that with or without the box, she would find her parents' killer. Their parents couldn't be six feet and their killer would live. She and Ander walked out of her and headed towards the entrance door. She couldn't even tell what was the time and as such, she actually forgot about the problems at the mansion. Problem will keep finding her. Suddenly she did not feel like going home."Ander, let's stay here a little longer. I am too tired to go and face an angry monster."Ander nodded, he too was somewhat tired. With the consoling he had done, he had no strength to see any angry face. They took a few steps towards the living room when a knock sounded at the door. Alex looked at Ander and then looked towards the door. She couldn't remember telling anyone she was there so she was hesitant to go see who was at the
Josh put on his wristwatch and stared at himself in the mirror, he was good to go. He had decided to go look for Alex and if there was anywhere she should be, it had to be her apartment. Though the last time they went there, she got kidnapped but as it was now, she would feel comfortable there. He blamed himself for not thinking in that direction since. By now, he might have made up with her. He was wearing light yellow Pants with a black polo and black leather sandals. He walked to his bed, picked up his phone and his keys, and left his room. Coming out from his room, he met Senior Bleak who scanned him from head to toe. "Josh, where is Alex?"Josh kept mute, he had no answer for his grandfather. "Don't tell me she is not back and you are in this house?""Grandfather, I am sorry, she left and I had been trying to get to her but couldn't." "You did not try enough, Josh. Your concubine is here inconveniencing your wife and all you say is, she left and you can't get to her.
Shina had gotten herself seated while her eyes were all over the place. The place was small compared to her home back in London but she did not mind being there as long as she was with her dad and this other mummy of hers. She really liked Alex but was still confused because her mum had told her stories. Alex was not really comfortable that Josh met her in that position. She impossibly wouldn't say what was going on in his mind. "See Josh, that thing was nothing."Josh shrugged and sat down."I know it's nothing. I trust you Alex and no matter what I had done in the past, don't ever think you should pay me back because I would not be able to cope," he said and patted a space for her to sit down. She sat down and he pulled her close and then beckoned on shina to come close which she did. "You see, Shina, she is your daughter too. She is innocent of all of these and you can be a better mom to her."Alex sighed and pulled Shina to herself. She has no issue with the little girl
