Josh took a sip of his whiskey, he was getting bored already. He can't wait for the damn wedding to happen so that he would go back to London, dealing with his grandfather is not among one of his agendas for the new year, he would definitely go insane if he dares. "And no matter what your wife ever does to you, don't react immediately, think twice before reacting. In that way, you understand why she has to do what she did. Women are so complex, understanding them is like trying to see what tomorrow has in store for you. Don't ever dare to try and understand her because your mental health will be at stake." Senior Bleak paused and took another sip from his whiskey, he stared at Josh to see his expression but Josh was expressionless. This his grandson knows how to keep his emotions in check. He is proud of him in some ways. Senior Bleak is so afraid about his grandson's bride, Alex Coker. She has a past with his two grandsons and he does not know how the whole thing is going
Josh never expected what happened to him next. He opened the bathroom door with a towel tied around his waist and water dripping around his body and disappearing into his towel. Alex targeted him and the moment he opened the door, she emptied the water on him, it was not just any water but cold water. Josh gasped and clenched his fist. " What's wrong with you young lady, are you crazy?" Alex smirked and dropped the bowl on the floor. "You are not the only one who could play this game. Don't try me next time or what I will serve you will be bigger than what you saw. Mr. Josh Bleak, dare me not" She said and walked out of the room, she had stepped out but she returned. "Don't forget to get the bowl to the kitchen, I love you darling" She blew kisses to him and closed the door. Once she was outside, she breathed in and released the air she had been holding. Dealing with Josh will require a lot of strength from her side. If she eventually marri
Alex was not after all he said, her concern was the fact that he drew her back. She never knew Luke is a narcissist. So he now thinks better of himself, she is actually thankful that she had to break every connection she had with him. What would have been the remainder of her, if, at the end of their relationship, they had married each other? She thinks it's better to suffer heartbreak with someone you know you don't love than to suffer it with someone you love with your life. She examined herself and saw that there is no more place for Luke in her life again, she has actually moved on and it was still a surprise how she did that so quickly. "Luke, don't try this again with me. I am being so kind but don't take it for granted, don't push me" She said and glared at him, Luke fumed and raised his hands to slap her. "Don't you dare in your life touch my wife or you will have me to contend with" Josh warned Luke sternly as he makes his way forward to them. He got to t
Luke kept observing her as she scanned the whole dishes, he is not surprised to see the look of surprise on her face. He knows where she is coming from and knows that she can't afford most of the necessities of life. He won't blame her that she had to grab this opportunity to be married into his Family, it's not easy to resist the urge of being wealthy even when you know you will be treated like a piece of wood. Senior Bleak could not help but look from one person to another, he was amused by the expression on Alex's face. It looks like she is afraid of the dishes. He chuckled and smiled, the lady is cute and she would make a good wife for his grandson, Josh. He wondered why Luke had to let go of such a gem. "I am starving, can we eat now? Too much drooling over feed shows how poor one is"Luke said and eyed Alex, obviously, he was referring to Alex. Alex, who knew who he was referring to, kept a straight face. "Let the dog continue to bark"She thought and rolled her e
Luke was first to finish with his meal followed by Senior Bleak. The two left Alex and Josh since they were still eating, Senior Bleak went to the living room while Luke went to his room. He got to his room and sighed, he could not believe he is such a loser. He stared at the picture of Alex behind his bed lamp and sighed again. The photo was taken on their first outing on the beach. It was her first time going to the beach and she did not hide it. If realness is a person then it's Alex, she has never pretended for one day and he has loved her for that. Most of the girls he has dated in the past pretended to be from wealthy homes but at the end of the day, he would find out they lied to him and that would be the end of the relationship. If there is one thing he hates, it's lies. He hates it with passion, if you are dealing with him, you have to be open but Luke failed to realize that it's his own doom because he lies too, what an irony. You hate what you do. At the bea
Ander was seen pacing around in his hostel room, he can't seem to reach his big sis and he is really worried. First, she did not call as usual, and now, her number had been unreachable. He is so worried that something might have happened to her. He was supposed to be home but because of his exams, he had to extend his going home to his sis till tomorrow which he had mentioned to Alex. "Sis, I am so worried about you, I hope you are safe. I will keep trying your phone and I promise you first thing tomorrow, I will be home for Christmas, just get your phone available" Worries were written all over his face, he tried the line again and the network provider said the same thing they have been telling him for the past hour. Ander had no choice but to go to bed hoping tomorrow, things will be okay. ***"*** Josh was the last person to leave the dining room, after he left, the maids had to clear the dining table amidst gossip. The maids who prepared
…...The Bleak Mansion, 2 am……Christmas Day……The Wedding Day……The D-Day A black car parked outside the Bleak Mansion and the back door opened, JB and Susan Bleak came out still not looking bright. Upon the wait at the airport and the long sit on the airplane, the time wasted was not enough for the gloom on their faces to disappear. Their suitcases were brought down and the car zoomed off. That was the airport Uber which brought them home. The Bleaks were blessed with cars and drivers at their disposal but JB dared not ask any of the drivers to come to pick them up from the airport by that time of the day. He must be crazy to try such, his dad is calm and collected but he does not take nonsense. JB would have asked and his father's response would be "what was he doing in London to return home with his wife by that time of day? JB has limited assets because he has refused to do what's right, Senior Bleak almost stripped him of his inheritance. Senior Bleak could tolerate
Alex was in so much of a hurry to get to her kid bro, Ander. It was Christmas day and why she could not come home to him last night was something that has kept her bothered. She can't tell why. " I can't believe I left you all alone on Christmas Eve, Ander. I am so sorry, I will make it up to you"She said as she approached her basement. From outside, she could see that her door was locked, which means Ander was not home. She wondered how come because he was home when she left yesterday. She checked her purse and I did not see the spare key she carries around. She was getting frustrated and with no solution in mind. Her phone was dead which is unusual. She was dead worried for him, Ander is her life and she does not know if she will survive if something happens to her kid bro. She can't fail her parents, not now. She would wait a little longer and if she can't find him, she would begin her search for him. The lady who had been watching her walked over to h
