Moriah came back bearing a tray of food with a sweet smile plastered on her face. She kept it beside Alex and sat down, "I don't really have good food in the house. Please manage this one.""I would have said don't worry but I know you, you won't hear of it. I will take anything you give me." Alex said and opened the dish. It was rice and sauce. She smiled thankfully to her and picked up her spoon. "You look good, I must confess. What have you been feeding on?"Alex scooped a spoonful of rice into her mouth and chuckled, "normal food.""I see. That's nice. Enjoy your meal, I will be right back," Moriah said and left Alex alone.Alex took another spoonful of rice and another one then like that she finished the meal in a few seconds. She did not eat lunch which might have added to her appetite. She picked up the tray after taking a drink of water and headed into Moriah's kitchen. Alex knew her way around her. Within a few minutes, she was back in the living room to wait for M
"Guess what, I am ten today and dad had made me a promise to take me round his business empires. It makes me want to be old and be like him. Hopefully, someday I will be like him. I love you so much, dad."Ander smiled and flipped to another page. "Since I was a baby to nine years plus age, I have never been this scared in my life. Dad does not see that his friend has evil intentions against him. I wish I could tell him but he would think I am out of my life." This was two days after Peters celebrated his ten-year birthday. Ander wondered who could be this frenemy his supposed Grandfather had. Ander got to another page, "for ten days now, he has not come around. I wish he would never come around ever again. His smiles creep me out and he has this evil laughter that I can't stand. Too bad, dad is not seeing who he truly is." Ander continued to flip and most of the things Peters wrote were his happiest moments, why he loved his dad, and his promises to be a good dude when he finally
It was clear to Luke now that his grandfather was the one good. Wills Worth and his father can go to hell and burn to ashes. "So who is going to serve them the court papers?" "You, of course, have to employ the best lawyer and when all of these are over, you know what will be your gain, the heir to the Bleak corporation," ZICO said and stood up followed by Luke."I understand, I will get to you as soon as possible. Latest tomorrow," Luke said assuring. ZICO nodded his head and led him to the door and bid him farewell. After Luke left, ZICO smiled mischievously. "Luke, I'm sorry to disappoint you but you are also a Bleak and I tell you when I lay my hands on all that Mr. Peter has, my father and you, I will have to deal with both of you. I can't suffer my whole life just to be a middleman." ********** Josh drove through the big gate and killed the engine. Ander got down and said no word of whatsoever and walked into the mansion. It was evening and he co
Alex blinked and shook her head. she did not understand why she had to stare like that. it was rude of her to behave in an uncivilized manner. She tried smiling but failed."I am sorry I had to stare like that. I was passing and I heard noises, I thought maybe you were in trouble but thank goodness you are not," she rambled nervously. Christy walked to her and touched her face, "Erica!"Alex widened her eyes and stepped back a little, "sorry, I am Alex, not Erica.""I know you are not Erica but you looked so much like my sister," Christy said and rushed to her bag at the foot of the bed and grabbed it, looking for her phone. When she found her phone, she unlocked it and showed Alex the picture of her sister. Alex stared at the picture and frowned. There was no doubt that the woman in that photo was her mom but she knew her mom died five years back and she was at the funeral service and saw her buried, it could not be her mother unless the dead do come back. "I am sorry to
Mr. Devon watched his grandson from his control room as he battled at the gate. He had decided to put a password on the gate for a reason best known to him and he was impressed that Ander guessed it correctly. Ander got to the entrance and stood, waiting to be given access to the mansion by the security men at the entrance. He did not state who he was, he only stated why he was there. When he was scanned through and nothing harmful was found on him, they sent him in. He walked into the biggest sitting room he has ever seen. He was not there to admire anything, he was just there to see the man and probably asked him what their offense is for abandoning them and then leaving afterwards. He did not have to wait for long when his supposed Grandfather came down looking younger than he was supposed to look. He just had this stern look on his face. Ander stared at him for some time and looked away. "Good evening to you, I am sorry to barge in on you like this and sorry I guesse
Alex got to the kitchen and saw the maids preparing dinner. Well, it was not good for her because she knew that there was no amount of preaching she would do that would stop them from helping her prepare something for Josh. She had in mind to get something for Josh and as it was now, mission impossible. There was no way she would allow them to help her and there was no way they would allow her to do anything as far as they were in the kitchen. They had not seen her yet so she pretended as if she did not notice them and walked straight to the cabinet to get a mug. "Good evening, young Miss," Lia, one of the maids, said after she sighted Alex. Alex sighed deeply and turned to her. "Greetings to you, Lia, and to all of you. Can you all pretend not to see me here while I do what I came for and leave?"The maids exchanged glances and bowed."Ma'am, we are sorry but we can't do that. At least you can watch while we help you with whatever you want," Lia said on behalf of the maid
Christy, being in deep thought, was not aware of the lady coming in the opposite direction and bumped into her. Bianca, who had her face on her phone did not see her too and almost dropped her phone from the impact. The next thing Christy heard was a sound slap, she could not tell if it was on her cheek or the other lady's because of confusion. When she realized it was her cheeks was when the pain hit her. "Did you slap me or what?""I did and I will do that again if you don't mind where you going, B*tch."Christy's brain was fergie from the impact of the slap and did not know the best way to react. She was not the type that looks for trouble so instead of doing something, she walked past Bianca and walked into Luke's room. Bianca was disappointed and that was clearly written on her face. Maybe she was expecting the other lady to react. ********** Alex walked into her room with the tray of hot choco and toast bread and met Josh sitting on the bed. He w
Christy stood up and walked to him. "I am sorry darling, I was so mad when I saw the picture. I did not go through your stuff. I was looking for something to open the door for me when I saw it and I thought she is your girlfriend. Don't be angry with me too much," she said seductively. All that she said did not move him. It just occurred to him that the door he locked when he was leaving was opened when he came back. He did not even remember the door incident. He spun around and stared at her extensively. "Did you open the door or someone helped you?"Christy smiled at him, "your sister-in-law did. She is a charming lady and friendly, unlike the other lady that I don't know. She had to slap me for bumping into her." The other lady Christy said was undoubtedly Bianca and the thought that she slapped Christy irked something in Luke and he suddenly became angry. "You mean the Asian-looking lady slapped you?" He asked angrily. Christy battered her lashes and looked at the flo
