"That's me, I wondered what my girlfriend did to you to make you want to hit her?" Luke asked casually and walked to Christy, "are you okay, darling?" Luke asked Christy, looking over her to make sure she was okay.Christy smiled at him, she was amused at the sudden claim of ownership from her new boyfriend"I am fine," she managed to say.Stacy was not sure if she heard him right. Did he say, girlfriend? How did she not know?"Did you say, girlfriend?" Stacy asked. The matter before her was more than the issue of her damaged car. "You heard me right. So like I said before, what did she do that made you want to hit her?" Stacy stood rooted with no word coming from her mouth. Christy saw that the lady was not ready to table her offense, so she decided to do it herself. "She ran into us and insisted that we pay for the damages to her car."Luke grinned and looked at Stacy, "is that so? How much are we talking about here?" Stacy had not recovered from the shock of the lady
Stacy's cab dropped her at the front of the Lendo stores and she got down, paid him, and left without getting her balance back. The cab guy was clueless about what to do, he did not know if he was going to drive away or wait, and after much contemplation, he chose the latter. Stacy did not come to get anything only to warn her rival, with the way she carried herself, you would think she was the daughter of the president of the country. She and Bianca were birds of the same feathers, only that Bianca shows hers all the time while Stacy pretends most of the time.She walked into the store and saw Bianca at the counter. She knew Bianca but Bianca had no clue of what Stacy looked like. Bianca was through with picking what she wanted and was paying for them at the counter with her mean look plastered on her face. People around had wondered what would make such a pretty lady to be frowning all the time and no one was human enough to ask her why. Stacy sighted her and stylishly p
Ander and Alex had enough and they thought it was time to go home, they had seen enough, read enough, and cried enough but they were not done being angry. Alex had vowed that with or without the box, she would find her parents' killer. Their parents couldn't be six feet and their killer would live. She and Ander walked out of her and headed towards the entrance door. She couldn't even tell what was the time and as such, she actually forgot about the problems at the mansion. Problem will keep finding her. Suddenly she did not feel like going home."Ander, let's stay here a little longer. I am too tired to go and face an angry monster."Ander nodded, he too was somewhat tired. With the consoling he had done, he had no strength to see any angry face. They took a few steps towards the living room when a knock sounded at the door. Alex looked at Ander and then looked towards the door. She couldn't remember telling anyone she was there so she was hesitant to go see who was at the
Josh put on his wristwatch and stared at himself in the mirror, he was good to go. He had decided to go look for Alex and if there was anywhere she should be, it had to be her apartment. Though the last time they went there, she got kidnapped but as it was now, she would feel comfortable there. He blamed himself for not thinking in that direction since. By now, he might have made up with her. He was wearing light yellow Pants with a black polo and black leather sandals. He walked to his bed, picked up his phone and his keys, and left his room. Coming out from his room, he met Senior Bleak who scanned him from head to toe. "Josh, where is Alex?"Josh kept mute, he had no answer for his grandfather. "Don't tell me she is not back and you are in this house?""Grandfather, I am sorry, she left and I had been trying to get to her but couldn't." "You did not try enough, Josh. Your concubine is here inconveniencing your wife and all you say is, she left and you can't get to her.
Shina had gotten herself seated while her eyes were all over the place. The place was small compared to her home back in London but she did not mind being there as long as she was with her dad and this other mummy of hers. She really liked Alex but was still confused because her mum had told her stories. Alex was not really comfortable that Josh met her in that position. She impossibly wouldn't say what was going on in his mind. "See Josh, that thing was nothing."Josh shrugged and sat down."I know it's nothing. I trust you Alex and no matter what I had done in the past, don't ever think you should pay me back because I would not be able to cope," he said and patted a space for her to sit down. She sat down and he pulled her close and then beckoned on shina to come close which she did. "You see, Shina, she is your daughter too. She is innocent of all of these and you can be a better mom to her."Alex sighed and pulled Shina to herself. She has no issue with the little girl
The moment Luke closed his door, Christy gave him a resounding slap. He never anticipated that slap."Are you mad or something? Where I was brought up, I was told not to disrespect elders. I thought you were a cool guy, I don't know you are this cold," she said viciously.Luke rubbed his right cheek and glared at her. Before Christy could free herself from him, he pinned her to the wall and crushed his lips against hers. Christy's brain went fergie and she became stiff. The last thing on her mind was a kiss from a total stranger though she had fancied other things about Luke. Luke pulled away and smirked, "don't ever try this again with me," he said and walked out, locking the door from outside. ********* Alex came down from the cab and paid her T-fare. She took a deep breath and looked around. It has been almost two weeks since she came there and why she was there now, she didn't even know. she thought since she couldn't have her peace at her apartment,
Luke knew that if he was aware of what he found out in the morning, Bianca would not have been here. He was still going to find what Jessica Coker's photo was doing in his father's room. ZICO had an explanation to do and he would take it slowly. While Mr. Wills and Mr. William think he is with them, he would dig out the hidden secrets. Only then would he make up with his family? Though the way he was going, his grandfather might get fed up with him soonest, he just prayed that the game would be over by then. His mind went to the lady he locked up in his room and he frowned. Luke did the wrong thing by locking her up, she was not his prisoner but all these were acts he was putting up for his grandfather to think he was not with The Bleaks."Christy darling, I am sorry," He muttered pitifully. ******** Stacy came down from the cab and paid the man and then walked into the mansion to meet her father waiting for her at the sitout with no smile on his face. Stacy quickly knew that all wa
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
