When they got to the bar, they took their seats and the bar attendants came over to them to ask what they wanted.

"Lemonade," Alex said,

"Cocoa pine," Josh added and the bar attendant left to get their orders.

The masked guy was at the corner watching the two. He felt there was something different about how they behave now compared to before, not that he has a problem with it.

"They seem to understand themselves now, it's a good thing," he murmured to himself.

The bar attendant brought their orders and placed them on the table and went away.

Alex sighed, something she had wished for had eventually come through. It looked like Santa granted her her prayer request.

She hoped that her newfound relationship would not be disrupted.

"So tell me, Miss Coker, everything about yourself."

Josh addressed her by her maiden name, making her look single. It was part of starting afresh. She knew she was not single but married and for the sake of wanting to know more about

    Stacy saw the couple looking so lovey-dovey and walked up to them, her anger intensified as walked towards them. The masked guy sighed and knew some dramas were about to unfold as far as he was concerned. He tried to understand why Stacy will not back down even when it is clear enough that Josh is in love with his wife so much. Stacy Jackson walked to the duo and stopped in front of them. "I see two of you enjoying yourself and forget that you betrayed someone. Josh Bleak, I want to ask you, did you forget there is a baby back home waiting to be loved by you, do you forget that your daughter, my daughter needs a dad? Suddenly you can't remember that my daughter and I need you more than this b**** in front of you. What is wrong with you, why can't you for once understand that your daughter and I are your real future." Alex, who was surprised at the sudden outburst of Stacy, was confused. She tried to understand what she meant by her daughter needing a dad, could it mean that Josh

    Luke stared at his phone, it has not been long since he made payment to the Grey and he is expecting the result soon. He chewed on his lower lip and rotated to and fro on his seat. His grandfather came in without his notice. The old man was aware that he had made payment to the guy he met earlier in the day and had made a plan to sort things out on his own. "Luke, dear."He called out and Luke looked up at him and managed a smile. "Grandfather, you are here, please sit down."His grandfather sat down as he was told. "Luke, I want you to accompany me to a place.""Sure grandfather, anytime you are ready, I am ready.""That's great. We should leave now because it is a matter of urgency." The old man said and stood up."I will be waiting for you outside"He said and left. Luke sighed and stood up. Why would he not be angry with his grandfather because he has done more than enough, therefore, he would be the good grandson he has always been in his presence. He checked hi

    Mr. Jackson saw the Bleak Bugatti driving out of the Grey building and smiled. The old man always surprises him. He trusts him to handle this but one can't always be careful so he would do his best by being a backup for him for old time's sake. It's nice to do good so that when the need arises, the favor will be returned. He had imagined how disappointed Luke will be but that will serve him right. His daughter should be his focus now. The girl was gradually growing more wings than she should. And as for one of the men, ZICO, who wants Alex and Josh dead, he would not know what was coming his way. He thinks he is wise by involving the drug lord not knowing that the drug lord would follow who is ready to offer him more money. "Bunch of idiots," he muttered to himself ****************** The ZICO guy was in deep thought in his inner room. The room was dark as always, it's just the color of his teeth you can make out from the dark. That's if he smiles, if not, you will not make out any

    It was time for Josh to show his wife what he meant earlier since she misunderstood his words. Maybe she would understand actions. Josh bent down and captured her lips, Alex did not hold back and opened up wholly to accept him. It was not her first kiss though because she had had several kisses with Luke but that was all, she never allowed him to go further, maybe because her soul had seen that Luke was not for the keep so she had rejected Luke. Her first boyfriend was Luke and she is glad that after so much temptation to get down with him she never did, after her break up with him, she thought maybe it was one of the reasons he had broken up with her with no second thought. There was no need to dwell in the past because Luke is her past and Josh is her future and Josh is the only one worthy of thinking about. She pushed every thought of Luke at the back of her mind and locked it then threw the key away. His thoughts will never surface in her mind again. She tasted so good, Josh

    Josh was naked as well with so much desire in his eyes. He sat on the bed and pulled Alex down to him. He kissed her so hard and whispered to her, "can you play with me?'Alex, who flushed from the hard kiss he gave her was confused about what he meant by 'play with me'. Josh saw how confused she was, guided her hand towards his dick, he thought of showing her instead of explaining. Alex felt her hand touch a hot rock and she jolted back. She stared at his dick and then looked up at him. "Yeah, I want you to feel me. Do you understand now?"She shook her head negatively. "Then let me teach you, Mrs. Josh."Alex nodded obediently and allowed him as he helped circle her hand around his dick. When she was comfortable enough, together with his hands on hers, he began to show her how to stroke him. At first, she was relenting but as time went on, she picked up and started stroking him, slowly and then faster. She was not doing it right yet Josh was feeling an unexplainable pleasure.

    Alex sighed and snuggled against him. She was home after all. Josh is her home. As long as she lives, she would continue to be grateful for facing her fears without doing otherwise. Sometimes in life, taking risks is everything because if you fail to take risks, you are risking your life. Whether you take risks or not, it is still risky so to be on the safer side, take risks as much as you can, even though you might fail, and try again until you are there. "You know that evening you bundled me into your car. What I have planned to do to you if I was freed. You are lucky, I fell into the circumstances your Grandfather set up, if not, I would have beaten you to a pulp."She said, wrinkling her face. Josh chuckled, "I wondered where your power lies because anyone seeing you will think you would not do more than a dead rat. Anyway, you could have pushed or little of that but beating me to a pulp, I doubt so." Alex could not contain the laugh she had been holding on since, she burst into

    Getting to the down floor, it was filled to the brim. Almost everyone was down for breakfast. Sam sighted the couple from her table and strolled towards them. "Are you both lost or what? You are looking like lost children."Alex shook her head and Josh smiled at her. "No, we are not lost. We were surprised to find this crowd here unlike in the afternoon," Josh said on behalf of the two of them. "Well I got a table and it will serve three of us. Hi, Alex."Alex waved at her and they followed her to her table. They all settled down and Sam decided to ask them where they were when the commotion was going on about an hour ago. "I did not see you both earlier?"Sam asked Alex and Josh. The couple raised their brows at her. "Did something happen that required our presence?" Josh asked, curiously. "Yeah, the lady that picked on Alex went mad and almost pulled the hotel down."She told them and was kind of expecting reactions from Josh and his wife but they disappointed her by not showi

    Mr. Jackson was staring down at his daughter who was seated opposite him looking so unbothered. She has been forced back to GreyWave and she was not happy about it and worst still, her phone has been seized from her father who would not listen to her pleas. "Stacey Jackson, I don't know how you manage to get to Miami. I asked you to come home in peace but what did you do? You would rather destroy the hotel before coming home in your quest for revenge. When will you understand that sometimes, you don't always get everything you want, all things are not meant for you." "Dad, I don't have a thing to say to you but you don't expect me to fold my hands and watch that gold digger take my man away. Even if I don't get her now, I will get her later and I tell you, dad, you would not be able to stop me."She snapped viciously. Mr. Jackson sighed and shook his head. His daughter would never learn. Locking her up and removing every access to the outside world might calm her down for a while.

    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.

    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. He had vowed in his heart that no daughter of his would be a nuisance and since Stacy couldn't stop being one in Greywave, it was better he sends her off to Australia to go live there. From now onwards she ceased to be a resident of GreyWave. Let him see how she will be running after Josh Bleak. "Dad, I don't understand what you are trying to do. I haven't done anything wrong. Why are you sending me to Australia to go and live?" She cried out. "You've done enough harm, Stacy. You're relocating to Australia and that is where you will live from now onwards.

    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

    James drove into the National park and parked and then looked at Alex. She had gone back to being gloomy and he was not quite happy about it. "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. Alex felt some chill down her spine when she passed the guy but continued walking into the restaurants regardless. The national park was filled with brims because of the holiday Families were soon having fun together.The national park was built in a way that it had everything starting from the Kiddies' arena to the adult arena, lodge, and eatery too.Alex got into the restaurant and ordered wine and chips.

    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. Ever since the truth was out, relationships began to break. Susan glared at her husband and threw her face away. Instead of asking Josh why, he was telling Josh

    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. I could live where I want," Ander said, looking from one person to another. "You are right. You have options to choose from. I am just trying to tell you th

    "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. Something at the back of his mind told him that she might be right. If Alex could not deny it then there was definitely something and th
