It was 7:45 p.m. when the doorbell rang. George wasn't expecting anyone but he had to check who the visitor was and finally opened the door. He was shocked to see Gregory. He was the last person George thought he would see. "Will you just be staring at me rather than accept me inside?""Come in" Gregory walked in and George shut the door. The expression on his face showed that he was so confused. He was thinking if Gregory was avoiding him, then how come he came to visit him at his house without an invitation? Gregory knew why George was looking so confused and then he decided to cooperate with him. "Why are you looking at me like a lost sheep? come on guy, sit down or is it a crime to visit you?"George sat down and was trying to find his voice to talk because the whole thing was confusing. "Gregory Simpson?""Yeah, that's me. Don't you recognize me anymore?""What are you doing here? And besides, you weren't in this city before, right?""You are right but I am back" "Back? I t
Gregory thought about who the young lady was and if she was staying alone. He couldn't resist the aroma of the food she was cooking because it has been a while since he ate something that was cooked by a woman. He went outside through the kitchen and knocked on the window. He saw the lady trying to peep to know who was knocking. "Hi, it's your opposite neighbor" The young lady opened the kitchen door and came out. She was putting on very tight pink bum shorts and a pink skimpy sleeveless top. Her thick bust was so revealing. Gregory licked his lips seductively when the girl shut the door behind her. "Yes, how may I help you?""I am Gregory. I live in this house" He pointed at his building. "Oh! That's fine""Sorry, I have been perceiving a very sweet aroma and I noticed you were the one cooking" The young lady smiled and said. "Okay, I understand where you are driving at. Just hold on I will give you some" Gregory rubbed his two palms and was happy that it would be easy for t
Gregory later went home that night after his sexual escapades. He was full of excitement. "So such a lady has been around here and I didn't know about it. She is so sweet. Now I have a regular lady I can enjoy with and she is so good at it" Gregory beamed with smiles on his face like a toddler who was given his favorite candy. "She must be a bitch" He thought aloud.He had his bath and slept so peacefully and the next morning, he woke up and looked at himself in a mirror. He was looking younger and fresher. "Wow! What an overnight transformation. Sex is good and I think I should be having this often" He quickly rushed into the bathroom and showered. Gregory checked his time and he was almost late. He needed to beat time so George wouldn't use that to judge him. He dressed up and was about to open his door when he saw the lady standing at his door. She was looking so beautiful and radiant that morning in a very short and tight gown. "Good morning""Good morning Mr Gregory. Hope
George knew he made the right decision by employing Gregory because he wanted to use him to get Ashley back just like his friend advised him, but the only way to get Ashley back was to arrest Alex or get him kidnapped since Gregory didn't know about her whereabouts. From the look of things, Gregory didn't have anything anymore. He preferred his job to his daughter and that was one thing that still baffled George. He didn't know how to go about it but he was going to find out very soon. Although his friend advised him to visit Alex uninvited and by doing so he might start monitoring his movement and that is where they can get hold of him. Alex thought he had a lot to protect himself not knowing that George was the master of evil himself. George concluded that he was not going to ask Gregory about Ashley anymore so that it would not look as if he was trying to make Gregory repeat himself. For the fact that he had Gregory's company, he needed to forget about Ashley. He just wanted to
Clara went into her unit and was pondering over what she saw in the Office. She never knew that Ashley had a very young man that was a billionaire as her man and she never mentioned such a thing to Clara. No wonder she carried that pregnancy without thinking of removing it.Clara felt bad for the way she had treated her in the past. If she had been very nice to her she would have really gained a lot, especially knowing fully well that she was in a relationship with a billionaire.She started regretting her actions. She didn't know where to start from and apologize to Ashley but of course, even if she apologizes Ashley will not take her as before. She will still maintain that office level."How come people get good men like this, especially rich ones? I even thought something was going on between her and my boss but I never knew that she had other plans. She has a better man. I wish I never treated her the way I did. It was all my fault. After what seemed like a while, Ashley came out
The two spent a whole lot of time in the hotel. Alex respected himself and didn't make any move or any advancement toward her. He didn't want her to feel bad besides, they had discussions for a whole lot of time, and the two were able to control themselves."When will you be going back?""I'll be going back tomorrow evening""Okay that means I will be coming back here tomorrow morning just to see you""Yes of course you can" That brightened her mood because she thought she wouldn't see Alex again and once he leaves, it was going to be a very tough one for her "Why did you expose me to my boss and the receptionist?""What do you mean?""You told him I'm your woman""Yes of course you are my woman or is it because I've not said it to you openly but we have been communicating and we have been chatting so what else do you want to hear?"She smiled to herself. It was exactly what she wanted to hear but then she had to pretend as if she didn't like what he did "I've been hiding it all th
The next day the driver came and picked up Ashley. Thank goodness that Tracy didn't see what was going on and so Ashley went to stay with Alex."I'll be spending three hours with you here and the remaining three hours on my journey back home, I hope that is okay with you". "I'm very okay with it thank you so much". Inside the hotel, there was a wonderful Boutique where Alex got some things while he was taking a stroll the previous night. It was a wonderful Boutique that had a variety of things for men, women, and children and so he thought it was going to be very nice to get something for his lover Ashley wanted them to take a stroll in the hotel instead of staying inside the room. "Okay, no problem I'm all free today after all today is Saturday I have nothing to do at all right now". "Let me put on my shirt so that we will be able to go down". Alex wore his shirt and one of his favorite shorts and they left the room. They climbed down the elevator and moved into the Boutique w
That Monday morning Ashley prepared for work and had to put on the best outfit. One of the clothes Alex bought for her. She wore a very nice fragrance with a beautiful pair of shoes. She tried to take a picture of herself before leaving and sent it to Alex. He was very happy and proud of her when he saw that the clothes were so fitted and so he sent a love message to her that would sustain her for the day. She read it over and over again and beaming with smiles before leaving the house.The taxi dropped her off. Ashley walked to the company and Clara shouted because she was dumbfounded. "Wow" Funny enough, she didn't know when she made that statement. Ashley greeted her and walked to her office. Her fragrance was all over the place. Clara knew Ashley had a great fashion sense but she had never seen her in such an outfit. It showed that Ashley had a lot of clothes in her wardrobe. She started admiring Ashley and decided that the next time she'll be paid her salary she will have to
Alex stepped into the house, he took note of a strand lying on the floor, he looked around for an item with weight, he took a few steps backward and threw the item toward the strand and just like he thought, an explosion occurred. George was on his way to the ship when he heard the explosion. “Yes! “ He yelled, laughing boisterously, Ashley who looked half dead, too weak from her wailing, mourning Alex just stood there as he pulled her toward the ship. Hearing the explosion, she was startled, she wondered why he would blow off the abandoned guest house when he was about to get away. “It's finally the end, we can finally start a new life, with nothing to worry about, Don't worry I will take care of the child since it means a lot to you, All you need to do is love me, much more than you did Alex” He blurted out, caressing her cheek, she slowly pulled away from him. He clenched his teeth, as he watched her pull away, he pulled away as he was filled with ecstasy from the realizati
Alex lay on the hospital bed, watching as the fluids flowed through the line into his veins. “Buzz!” his phone buzzed, he tilted his head to pick up his phone, and he saw a message from an unknown sender. He yanked himself off the bed and he punched his phone to check the message. “If you want your wife and child in one piece, show yourself, and let’s end this once and for all” Alex read it out, he looked around but no one was there, at that moment another message came in “Involve the police and she gets it!” Alex looked around panicking, the thoughts of Ashley stuck with the monster again scared the shit out of him, He groaned, flipping his phone out of sight. He was not ready to dance to George’s tune, more so he wanted all this to end as soon as possible. He looked to make sure no one was watching him, he pulled out his car keys from the shelf next to his bed. He got up, walked toward the door, peeped through, and rolled back to his ward, pacing around the room as Cops w
Alex opened his eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling with his lashes constantly falling on each other, he titled his head to his left but there was no one next to him, he titled to his right, same emptiness, he rose off his bed, he looked around him, nothing felt familiar to him, stroking his hair, he walked through the walkway before him. ''Hey Alex, you’re up" Ashley hurled toward himHis jaw dropped, and puffed out a sigh of relief, seeing Ashley hale and hearty with their child still in her belly. He dashed toward her, pulling her into his arms, ''Oh baby, I was so worried, I thought something bad happened" He shivered as he held her hands. She pulled away gently with an awkward smile, “Something did happen but I'm glad you’re okay, let’s have breakfast” She urged as they walked together “Ashley, where is this?” Alex asked as he looked around the unfamiliar house, “What do you mean? We bought this house months after we got married” Ashley answered as she set out the table f
Ashley slowly opened her eyes as she had shut them when he was about to pull the trigger. She felt the worst might have happened and was scared to see the horrible sight before her, she slowly looked at Alex to see if he was okay and thankfully he was, she looked at George whose arm was bleeding at the moment, Ashley gazed up to see who had shot him and gasped."I told you I was going to kill you myself." Mika stood in the doorway panting and holding her stomach in pain, Ashley recalled her being shot and thought she had passed away but thankfully she had saved them. George scoffed at her, aiming the other gun at her."If you really intended to kill me then you would aim for my chest or head." He sounded cocky, not a single shred of fear in his voice. Alex used the opportunity to launch an attack on George and punch him in the head thereby making him stagger forward, Alex took the gun from his hand and hit his hand where the bullet had been fired, he groaned in pain as blood gushed ou
I would do it and that's a promise." Alex assured him staring him right in the eye. "All you have to do is let my wife be and live your life."George burst out laughing at him knowing quite well, what the proposal was going to be. "Do you really think I'm that frightened that I can't leave whenever I want?""You can't leave, isn't it obvious to you already? You would need my help and the only way you can leave is if I help you." Alex tried to bargain with him but George didn't seem to be interested in the offer and just burst out laughing at him."I wonder what you would do if people going out with you wanted to help a mafia out of the country just to keep his girl.""She's not yours you idiot!" Alex ranged in anger even though he felt like crap he couldn't stand the nonsense being spoken by George. One more kick in the stomach and he would literally cough out all his intestines if this carried on."Do you really think things are going to go your way because you feel so?" Alex laug
A week had passed and still no response or return call from George which had Alex really worried, he had tried to track the number which was used in calling him but to no avail, it was as though it was erased and never existed. He got a call from an unknown number instantly answering it knowing who it was."If you want to talk, meet me at the location sent to you, bring someone along with you and she's screwed." George said from the other line of the phone and ended the call. Before he could say anything, the call ended. Alex quickly grabbed his keys making his way down the stairs, Tracy stood up at the sight of him making his way down the stairs so quickly wondering why he was in a rush."Have you found anything yet?" She asked him."He asked me to meet him up somewhere.""Let me go with you, maybe I could be of help somehow." She offered seeming somewhat restless, hoping that her friend was alright."Stay with Susan and I'll handle this, besides it could be dangerous for you to be
Ashley silently sat on the cold floor staring in silence and not knowing what to do in her situation, She believed that Susan would be fine and by now they would have realized she was nowhere to be found, She felt sad that she didn't tell Alex about her plan but hoped he would understand her decision.Her train of thought was disturbed by the sound of the metal door opening, she looked up to see George approaching her with a big smile on his face as though he deserved it."What seems to be on your mind, my lady?" He grinned, placing a can of soda and some bread beside her."Predicting your death, what else?" She retorted sarcastically, he let out a light chuckle and paced around the room looking around as though finding if she had created some sort of escape route."Hmmm, dying by your hands doesn't seem like a bad idea you know? I won't make that possible because I don't want your hands to be stained with blood." He winked at her, and she rolled her eyes, staring at the junk beside h
Ashley looked around the place to see if anyone was coming and when she saw no one, she became more frightened, she had left the house under Alex's nose but this was the sacrifice she had to make to ensure the safety of Susan."Thought you weren't going to come."George snickered from behind, she jerked her head to look at him and her body followed, a frown shown on her face as she gazed at him in hatred."Have you set her free?" She asked and he nodded at her reassuringly but it was hard to believe his words but she had no other option. "So what are you going to do to me now?" "Continue from where we stopped." He smirked at her, dragging her by the hair and pulling her closer. She screamed in pain trying hard to release herself from his grip but to no avail. "Did you really think that I would let it slide you bitch?""I dont care if you're angry, you deserve to die.""Who is talking about dying? If at all anyone needs to die first it should be that baby in your belly." He smirked a
Ashley took out the tracker she had in her hair and handed it over to Tracy."I'm glad you're safe, I hope your didn't get hurt." Alex observed her body for any signs of injuries but she was okay."You don't have to worry too much darling, I'm doing just fine." She assured him."What happened to Mika?" He asked her and her face instantly turned to a frown."She betrayed us, she had intentionally exchanged the ring tracker to divert the attention of the cops but thankfully I had another which she had no idea about." ,shley explained."I'm sorry about that… for putting you and our baby in danger." He held her hand in his with a guilty face."It's alright but I didn't have trust for her from the onset and thankfully it paid off." She shrugged."The doctor would be here soon as you requested," Tracy told Alex who nodded frantically, Ashley looked at him in confusion wondering why he called the doctor."What's wrong?" She asked scrunching her brows and waiting for him to respond."I need t
