Alex stared at Josh as if he had grown horns. Her act was involuntary action and it was not for her to break her own rules. She did not believe she would be the first to break any of these rules. "Stripping for Josh? Yikes."Kissing Josh, was no issue, after all, she wanted to kiss him before but he would see it as something else now. So she ruled kissing and stripping for Josh out, she was left with cuddling him and that wouldn't be easy on its own. She was falling into her trap with no one to catch her. "I'm not doing any of that, Mr. Josh,"She adamantly said and stood up but Josh drew her back. "Yes, you will because you made those rules yourself."He smirked and continued, "so make your decision or you will do the three. You have only 5 seconds to make a decision, 1 2 3 4 ....""I will cuddle you," she said quickly, she can't imagine stripping or kissing Josh while he is conscious. "Good choice, it shows you are a good girl. And you don't have to wait for the night t
Luke stepped out of the mansion without his car, rather he wore a long coat. His grandfather who was in the living room watching a movie pretended not to see him leave which was a relief to Luke because he thought his grandfather did not see him. He got out of the mansion and a black SUV picked him up in less than two seconds. There was no other occupant of the car except the driver who had bowed in respect to Luke. Luke, who had made a decision last night to see the drug Lord because he knows that he can't use his grandfather's connection against Josh and his wife, needed to do whatever he ought to do aside from his family to get back at Josh. The SUV took him to the outskirts of the time and dropped him and then the driver drove away. His phone beeped and a message came into his phone. "The building by the left,"He looked up from his phone to see a building painted gray, it was an odd-looking building. He pocketed the phone and walked towards the building and
Josh listened and realized that his wife wasn't who he thought she was. She was just being tough to survive in the world that bashes the weaklings away. Maybe like he thought, they would be best of friends but it will take a great deal of work from his side. Alex pressed his neck hard when she noticed that he was not listening and Josh jolted back to reality. "What was that all about, do you also want to break my neck?""It would be better if I do that so no woman would find you attractive." She scornfully replied which made Josh chuckle. "I sense jealousy here.""You think I am jealous? Naw, I can't be. I am just trying to protect you from my gender," she said, masking her true emotion. "What's wrong with your gender?""I don't know. You are married, Josh, don't look at other women except me. Or don't I look beautiful enough? I know we did not meet in a pleasant way but we could start afresh by being friends." No matter how hard Alex tried to hide her emotions whil
Alex did not know if he kissed her because her brain had stopped working as she stared at him and the three-letter words she heard, she wanted to make sure it was coming from Josh. Josh was probably fooling around, she knew him too well to know that he might have said what he said to get a reaction from her. She smiled nervously at him, "emm..thanks Mr. Josh, for your kind gesture. Your kind words really made me feel better." She stood up leaving Josh dumbfounded,She thought he was fooling around because her response made it obvious. Why would she think he is fooling around? He checked his memories to see for the past three days if he has given her a reason to doubt him to this extent. His memories had to take him back to the handkerchief instead. She had probably got that idea from there. "Alex," he called and stood up, he pulled her to himself and made her face him. "I love you, yes I do. I realized that since yesterday when you were so cold in the hospital, not mo
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
