After Ander left, in order for her to keep her mind occupied, Alex decided to see her grandfather. Alex picked up her phone and left the room, she contemplated where he would be and realized that he would be in his study so she turned towards his study. Getting there, she knocked and was invited in. Alex gently opened the door and walked in, this was the second time she would be coming to her grandfather's study. Senior Bleak smiled as she approached him. She got to him and found a photo album with him. "Alex dear, sit down," he said and she sat on the desk in front of him after he made space for her. "What are you doing, Grandfather?""Nothing much, I am just looking through your mummy's photos when she was younger. How time flies? Little Jessica of yesterday left adults behind and it makes me wonder how this life works. I remember when she runs around my studies and I have to scream Jessica stop and she will giggle telling me ``Dad I want you to chase me``" "You
The two best friends stared at each other. Jarden sighed inwardly, this Ander was the same who would be over him whenever they saw themselves. Ander being cold towards him was comprehensible. He is allowed to be as angry as he likes. "You can be mad but don't be too long. Nothing changed between us, we are still friends even though we are now brothers," Jarden said and Ander turned his back on him and walked to his bed. Jarden signed resignedly, he prayed that things returned to how they used to be. "I was so mad at grandfather when I realized that you are my cousin and he doesn't want to bring you home. I was like who does that? " Lillian suddenly started fuming. "He has his reasons, I understand and Alex does so if he doesn't want us back him, we are cool without him," Ander said coolly and pinched her cheeks, "tell me how was your vacation?" Ander asked Lillian while Jarden stared at both of them, he was sitting on the couch now. Before Lillian could answer, Shina r
Christy had a hand on the bed ray. She was glaring at Luke who seemed unbothered by her attitude. He sat on the couch with his phone in his hand. When she had stared too much, he dropped his phone and looked up at her."What's up with this look?" He asked, annoyed."I told you I booked a flight already to travel and what did you say? nothing." She fumed and Luke chuckled, "it's funny how you will ask a question and still give yourself an answer. What do you want me to do?" Luke asked, he was clueless about why she was fuming. "You could not even show that you will miss me," she stated and Luke laughed, it remained for him to roll on the floor. "Are you a child?""What do you mean if I am a child?" Christy asked, surprised."How can you be fusing over a little thing?"Luke asked, laughing. Christy glared at him and sat on the bed"It's easy for you to say that. You can laugh all you want." Luke stopped laughing and walked to her in the bed. "You see, we just met. You don
Lillian didn't understand what Alex was going through at the moment or what was going through her mind and why she was looking this confused but the man in the picture she hasn't seen since she came into the mansion. "I have not seen anyone like him and no one has come into the mansion because I was on the balcony with Shina for a long time now." Alex nodded at her and then walked to the window, drew the blinds open, and did not see Josh's car. She was wondering if he went out after coming back but Lillian said no one had come in which was hard for her to believe or was she dreaming? Alex actually dreamt about Josh coming into the mansion and she confronting him on the bed. But she thought it was her reality and she would need a lot of convincing for her to believe it was a dream. "I don't understand. I thought my husband was back," Alex said and walked back to Lillian. "I don't think he is, are you sure you were not hallucinating?" Lillian asked and felt Alex's tem
Lillian and Ander sat at the back of the Royce as the driver drove through the busy road of GreyWave. Ander had a lot of questions running through his mind. It was not that he would not fit in but suddenly everything was changing. Jarden's parents have been the kind of parents he wished his parents were, not in the physical aspects but the financial aspects and a lot of things could have been better if life had not played them."I just have to see the positive part of this and forgive his past." No matter how angry Ander is, nothing will ever change, the past was there to stay. He would embrace it with love and make a better part of this new change that has occurred in his life. The Royce graced into the Devon's Mansion and Ander and Lillian got down. Kehlin smiled when he saw Ander, she was standing at the entrance waiting for Lillian and Ander. Ander was surprised to see her,"Kehlin, what are you doing here?" Ander asked her excitedly. He was really happy to see her
"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
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
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
