Josh was so in a hurry that he did not bother knocking, his grandfather will understand. Senior Bleak, who had been up since 5 am staring at nothing, looked towards his door and wondered what would make Josh come into his room like that. "Josh, what happened and why are you sweating on a winter morning?"Josh was tongue-tied. First time in his life he is helpless and does not have a clue about what to do. "Grandfather, there is a problem.""What type of problem?"Senior Bleak said and sat up. "Alex has suddenly stopped breathing."The words left Josh's mouth so fast that he could not stop them. Senior Bleak stared at him and sighed. "Get the girl, we are going to the hospital immediately"Senior Bleak said coolly. Josh was speechless, is that all his grandfather is going to say? What happened to his grandfather that he has stopped asking questions? "Right away, grandfather."Josh turned on his heels and left. Senior Bleak placed a call and a voice came immediatel
Luke, who has been in deep thought jot back to reality when his phone rang. He hissed when the caller was not the person he had been waiting to call him. It was his long best friend who was supposed to play his best man but could not because he was not going to make it home on Christmas. "Why is this dude calling me now?"He stared at the phone as it continued to ring and finally decided to pick it up. "Hello!""Hello, my G, what took you so long to pick? Oh, I forget, you are busy getting ready for your wedding." The guy on the other end said coolly, Luke twisted his lips in anger. Hanging up on the guy was the best thing for him and that was exactly what he did. The dude had to disturb him like this, he shook his head and tossed the phone into his pocket. Luke was obviously not aware of what was going on because Senior Bleak had played it quietly. He made sure no one was aware of their absence in the house except his men. Luke's phone rang again and this time aro
Jarden made sure to wait with Ander as he waited for the person that would come and pick him up. Ander had told him the latest development and his fears for his sister's life which in turn, Jarden has told him that he is worrying too much because if his sister was kidnapped, the kidnapper will be asking for ransom and would not offer to come to pick him up. "Don't worry bro, your sis is probably safe, so chill."This is the third time Jarden is telling him this after he saw that despite what he had told him so far he is still worried. Ander sighed and thought there is no need to work himself up, time will tell. He will wait and see how things unfold. Jarden And Ander did not wait for long when a Bugatti pulled up in their front. They took two steps back in order not to be on the way for whoever the car is for, not knowing it was for Ander. Silas hurriedly came down from the car and walked towards Ander who scrutinized him. Ander can't understand why the man is making his
Alex left her apartment with the mindset of finding her brother before returning home. She has mapped out how to begin her search. Ander has a few friends and their houses are adjacent to each other. She will start with the friend's next house, that's like a few blocks from her apartment. As she walked on, things felt abnormal, like she did not belong there but if she doesn't belong here, where then did she belong? This neighborhood has been her neighborhood for five years now so why are things beginning to look weird in her eyes? "It's probably stress and overthinking"She thought and walked on. She got to the block and made her way towards the entrance, knocked, and a few minutes later, the door was opened in ajar with a young man of 19 years staring down at her, this was Andre's first Friend in the neighborhood. Alex smiled at him and the guy raised his brows in askance. "Please I am looking for Ander, is he by any chance here?"Alex asked."Which Ander and who
Alex, who could not move an inch after her last encounter with the Friend next house, has been rooted in the place ever since. She was battling with confusion and can't seem to understand what was going on. If It's a dream she wants to wake up from it. She sighed and turned her back on the building and began moving away, she would just have to check the next friend. She was beginning to get chilly so she put on her gloves and wore her scarf. The coat she was putting on was not enough to protect her from the cold. Winter on Christmas morning was always extreme and it's the joy of Christmas but she found no joy today. She felt out of place and was beginning to get teary. She and her brother were supposed to be singing Christmas hymns and dancing like they always do every Christmas morning. Hot tears filled her eyes and she let them flow. Alex can be strong when she wants to but you see cry, she is good at it. Crying empties all bitterness in her soul and afterward, fills he
Ander has seen skyscrapers in movies and this is more like what the building looks like but a petty look of a skyscraper so he would say it is a mansion, the only thing is that the architectural work looks more like a skyscraper building than that of a mansion. But the building could be a skyscraper or a mansion, whichever one it is, it has got the look and it is beautifully built and he can't wait to explore the mansion after he might have met his sister. He looked below his feet and found the floor to be interlocked, it was cool to him. Money is definitely good. He was lost for words on how to describe the view in front of him, it was something born out of a movie and he was finding it surprising to be there and the most surprising thing to him is how come his sister landed herself with someone who has got this kind of money and what happened to the relationship between her and uncle Luke. "This is not the sister he knows."He thought. She never mentioned anything which
Senior Bleak entered and shut his door then went off to his computer room to see things for himself. He settled down and started with a reverse of the footage from that moment to when they had dinner yesterday. He kept searching but the footage was not clear, more like some parts were tampered with and whoever did the job tended to leave no trace but that's where the person is wrong. He got his phone and connected it to the system. The phone is attached to every secret camera in the mansion so whenever he can't find something from the computer, he uses his phone, and right there he will get the answer. He did not have to search for long and boom, the answer was in front of him. He cursed and stared hard at the picture of the perpetrator. *********** Alex walked on with tearful eyes, her beautiful face was painted with tears. The Christmas morning breeze was not helping her in any way, it was rather adding to her pain. She was damned miserable and
Lucy lifted her tear-filled eyes and looked at Senior Bleak. With the way senior Bleak Kept looking at her, she realized that she was in a big mess, she shouldn't have done what she did. What was she even thinking? "Sir I am deeply sorry I have to do what I did. I don't know what came over me, I can accept any punishment but please don't get the police involved, I beg you." She pleaded, hoping that Senior Bleak would listen to her. Luke scoffed and gave her a glaring look."One more word from you, and you will not see the light of the next day." Senior Bleak threatened her and she shuddered, Lucy knew she was really on her own and the person who had made her do what she did, had ganged up with his grandfather to play against her. The life of rich, think they can do anything and get away with it and surely, they always do. Senior Bleak waved his hands and the rest of his staff started dispatching one after the other, they wouldn't want to be on the man's bad side today.
