As she walked along the beach, tears streamed down her face as his words resounded in her head.

"Alex!" Vivian's voice sounded behind her.

She didn't stop for a moment and she increased her pace.

"Alex, stop making an old hag like me run," she cried as she managed to keep up with her.

She stopped and wiped the tears from her eyes as she turned to look at Vivian who was standing behind her.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asked as she saw the tears on her face.

She sighed and looked away from her.

"Speak to me," the old lady urged as she held her arms tenderly.

She was about to speak when she saw her father in-law standing in front of her.

"I saw you running away from the umbrella. What is the matter with you?" He asked as he looked at her face.

"Adrian, he asked me to go and change my outfit. He..he doesn't like the bikini. He..he says it doesn't suit me, and I don't have an appealing body," she stammered as she tried to control her tears.

"What!" Mateo exclaimed.

    "So, you mean Adrian hasn't laid a hand on you since you both got married?" One of the women asked with interest. "Like I said earlier, everything is fine. We are both doing okay as a couple, just as you can see," she said with a smile as she looked at the women who were all staring at each other in disappointment. She smiled with satisfaction as she knew she had kept them in the right spot. She knew what they were seeking for, gossip. A gossip about her private life, and probably make her reveal some secrets about the Steels family. But she was wise. Life in the cocoa farm has taught her enough to be wise, she thought as she sipped her drink gracefully. From where he stood, he heard her speaking to the women. He stood for a while as he listened to their conversation. He felt broken for a moment as she lied about them being fine as a couple. He had expected her to gossip about him and his father, but no, she had acted with great discernment. "Wow, seems like he took interest in

    The house began to bustle with activities as the luggage was pulled in by the men and maids who were walking ahead of them. It was such a long trip and they had arrived in Nigeria from Dubai at around 5:33pm. She could see the maids smiling at her as she walked into the living room with Adrian who was walking beside her. She walked over to meet them and they all began to laugh and chat with excitement. He walked away as he saw her walking over to the maids. As he walked up the stairs, he could see her chatting and laughing with the maids with excitement. Probably this trip was one of the best moments in her life and she was so overly excited about it. But he doesn't care about her excitement. All he cared about was for her to make him a good dinner as he had missed her food so much, he thought as he walked up the stairs slowly. As she stepped into her room, she couldn't wait to give her mom a call. She was missing her parents and friends so much that she felt like going home.

    The whole place became crowded as a lot of people lined up to receive their own share of the items Alex had brought home. "My daughter, God will bless you. You will have more children and find peace in your home," the women prayed as they gathered around her. She smiled as she wiped the sweat off her brows. She was feeling exhausted as the distribution job has been strenuous. "Thank you my mothers. But the truth is that, my father in-law has sent these things over to you. So you should also direct your blessings to him," she said and they all began to murmur in surprise. "Really? Mateo sent these items to us?" They asked in surprise and she nodded. "You must have really changed that man a lot," they commended and she laughed. The women began to sing her praises and she began to dance to the local drum band which was present. "Alex, we need to capture this moment on camera! The world needs to know what you are doing," Bisi shouted as they all danced . "No..no.. no..when yo

    As she walked into the house, she was welcomed by the maids who were all waiting eagerly for her. "Who missed me?" She asked as she dropped her bag on the couch. "Everyone!" Bose exclaimed and they all laughed. "Is Adrian home?" She asked as she moved towards the kitchen. "No, he traveled," Vivian replied. She stopped for a moment and turned to look at the women. She had seen him earlier today and how come he left without informing her? She thought. "Hmm..I..I never knew," she stammered. "One of the guards told us so," Mary said. "He could have just let me sleep over at the Cocoa farm," she lamented. "Really? You sound angry" Sara put in. "She's missing him already," Vivian teased and they all laughed. "It's not funny!" She fumed as she pouted her face like a kid and they all laughed again. ** She hurried down the stairs as she heard the noises coming from the living room. "Father in-law," she cried with excitement as she rushed over to meet him. "Daughter," he called w

    She stood in front of the building watching as the cars stopped in front of her. She was donned beautifully in a white maxi dress and white slippers, with a small sling purse hung on her shoulders. A smile appeared on her face as she saw her father in-law stepping out of the car. He was dressed casually in a black short sleeve dress and blue jeans trousers with a face cap over his head. He took off his sunglasses as he walked towards her with the aid of his walking stick. "Hey, are you prepared?" He asked and she nodded. "Is Adrian out already?" He asked again. "Yes, he left for work this morning," she replied. "You took permission from him, didn't you?" He asked and she nodded with a smile. "Shall we?" He asked and she nodded as she clung her hand into his and they both stepped into the car. ** He sat on the black lounge chair in the office, sipping his wine slowly. As he scrolled through the internet that afternoon, he could see videos of his wife and his father taking a to

    She laid on the couch tiredly as she thought about everything that happened at the Steel Mansion. Was Adrian right about his father? She thought. He had driven out angrily without her and she wondered why he was so mad. She was the one to be mad, and not him, she thought. What if Mateo Steel was actually using her for his own selfish interest? She reasoned. Well, that's not supposed to be her concern, she thought. Just then, she heard his footsteps approaching the living room and she stood up immediately. Was he going to deal with her tonight? She thought as she saw his exasperated face appear in front of her. He stood for a moment as he watched her with his heart racing. All he could think of was to shove her against the couch, deal with her mercilessly and send her out of his home tonight. But he wasn't going to do that. No way he would make himself a monster because of this peasant, he thought. He thought about his father. Sending her away from his home might escalate the war

    She sat before the mirror, applying lotion on her brown smooth skin. Today was the D day and she was feeling so nervous about attending the party with Adrian. He hasn’t spoken a word since the day he informed her about the party and she wondered how she would attend the party without a proper outfit. Just then, a knock came on the door. “Hold on,” she said as she hurried to the door, with her body wrapped in a white towel. She opened the door and saw Bose and Sara standing in front of her room with excitement on their faces. “What?” She asked curiously. “You won’t believe it! The fashion goddess is here in our house, and she made your dress!” Sara exclaimed with excitement. “What.. what fashion goddess?” She asked in surprise. “Queen Saphira of Saphire’s Atelier is downstairs with your dress!” Bose spilled. “What! You mean the fashion goddess made my dress?!” She screamed in excitement. “Yes! And she is here with one of the best makeover artists here in the city. Alex, you’re

    The clattering of glasses and voices was heard as they all settled at a table. “It’s such a beautiful night,” Usman remarked as he took a sip from his glass of wine. Alex smiled as she looked around the whole place which was filled with so much Glamour. She took a glance at Adrian and she could see him typing a few words on his phone. A frown appeared on her face as she saw Susan taking her seat at the middle of the table. Their eyes met and she could see the smirk on Susan’s mocking face. She wondered who this lady was and why she had taken interest in her. Not long, a fair slender lady in white dress walked towards the table with a young handsome man dressed in a royal blue suit and bowtie. “Look who we have here,” the girl said with a smile as she walked towards Adrian who was still busy with his phone. He raised his eyes to look at her face. “Adrian,” she called with a smile but he didn’t smile back. “Hey Sharon, what took you guys so long?” Susan asked as she stood up

    They broke free from the hug as they heard Adrian clearing his throat behind them."You just can't be patient," Alex said with a chuckle and they all laughed."I didn't stay all that long without you just for you to return and keep me waiting to have you," he said as he pulled her forcefully to himself. She landed on his chest and they all laughed."Maria, I want to say thank you once again. As long as I would want you to stay, I still cannot force you against your decision to go in search of Elena's father. But I want you to know that, if you ever need anything, we are just only a call away. We are your family," he said with all sincerity.She smiled broadly and nodded."Thank you," she muttered."Now go back inside and party," Alex urged."While I take this beautiful woman of mine inside," he said as he carried her up in a bridal style."Inside of where? Stop!" Alex cried as she banged his chest."Shh, we will go through the back door so you don't get disturbed again," he said and s

    The mansion began to bustle with people moving to and fro. The news of Alex Steel being alive was one of the most discussed topics on the internet.As they walked into the house, she could see her mother and father running over to give her a hug. They weren't present at the court, only her friends came from the village to witness the hearing."Oh, I can't believe my daughter is alive!!" Mrs Bimpe cried as she and her husband locked her tightly in a warm embrace."I'm so sorry mom, I'm so sorry for not reaching out to you," she cried."Your mother almost passed away. You could have reached out!" Her father cried loudly."It's enough, father, all that matters is that she is alive. Safe and a little bit healthy," Maiden said with a smile from where she stood before them."Yes, my daughter is alive," Mrs Bimpe cried again."I'm glad we didn't conduct a burial for you. Adrian wouldn't let us conduct a burial ceremony because he believed you will one day come back to him," her father contin

    There was tension in court as the two women were dragged to the accused box where they both stood giving mean stares to each other. The courtroom was filled to the brim. Members of the press were also present to cover the event. The case happened to be one of the most discussed cases in the whole of the country as everyone was eagerly waiting to see the outcome of these vicious women who became internet sensations after their arrests concerning the murder of Alex Steel. In the audience were Natasha, Adrian and their friends who were all seated at the front row. The charges were read and the defense and prosecution lawyers swung into action as they defended their clients logically. "My lord, I've pleaded guilty. All I'm asking is for this bitch to be arrested alongside me. She committed the crime together with me and she shouldn't be exonerated!" Barbara fumed with her mean eyes tearing through Amelia. "Shut up, you bastard! You're only trying to drag me into the mess you created. H

    The Land cruiser jeep could be seen slowing down as it moved along the untarred road which was covered with portholes. From the black Acura where they leaned, they could see the Land cruiser approaching and they both stood up right with their hands in their pockets as they stood gallantly waiting for the car to stop. The car stopped a few meters away from them. The door opened and Amelia stepped out of the car, dressed gallantly in black biker jacket and jeans. She took off her dark glasses as she walked towards the women who were waiting impatiently for her. "Oh, such a lovely wonderful morning. It's not even up to seven o'clock yet. Are we good?" She asked as opened her arms wide with a smirk appearing on her face. "What did you do?" Barbara asked as she gave her a mean look. "What did I do? I saw your pictures all over the internet last night. I should be asking you, what did you do?" She asked with a smirk as she brought out a stick of cigarette which she placed in between he

    Police sirens could be heard as the vehicles sped into the mansion which was all lit up that night. He jumped out of the car as soon as it came to a halt and the heavily armed policemen could be seen running behind him as they all stormed into the building. His heavy breathing could be heard as he burst through the door which was left unlocked. "Search around the rooms down here, I will go upstairs with the rest of the men," he ordered as he proceeded to the stairs with some of the men marching behind him. His heart began to race as he stepped into the master bedroom and found the whole place empty. He let out a sigh of frustration and stormed out of the room angrily. He could see some of the policemen walking towards him from the other side of the passage. "All clear," the officers reported. "Fuck!" He cursed as he hurried down the stairs with the men. "Mr Steel, I'm afraid, they've escaped," the officer in charge revealed and his face pulled into a frown. "With my last breat

    Looking outside the car window, she could see her walking to the car, dressed smartly in a navy blue kimono dress and black heels. The door opened and she stepped into the car with the door shutting behind her. The window glass rolled up and she took off her sunglasses and heaved a sigh. "What is the reason you called me here?" She asked as she watched her take off her glasses. "My sister is plotting to kill you," she spilled with her eyes looking forward. Silence fell in for a moment and her brows gathered deeply as she stared at the side of her face. "And why are you telling me this?" She asked thoughtfully. "Because I don't want it to get bloody any more. Enough of the killings. I didn't come all the way here from Mexico to spill blood. I need you to be careful," she warned in a low tone. She kept silent and heaved a sigh as she looked away from her face. "I know she will try to prove smart again. She loves proving to be the smart one," she said with a smirk as she let out a

    With the heavy breeze blowing across his face, he walked along the sandy shore, barefooted with his eyes fixed on the water where he could see several boats and fishermen mending their nets. "Baby J, we are here," he said as he kissed the baby's cheek and dropped him on the sand. He chuckled as he watched Junior play excitedly on the sand while making squeaky sounds followed by giggles. He heaved a sigh and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his blue vintage short sleeve shirt as he sat on the sand, staring into the water. "Come over here, J," he called as he pulled the baby to himself and made him sit in between his legs. They both stayed that way, staring into the water as people walked past them. "I've always believed that one day, the water will bring your mommy back to me," he said with a chuckle. "I still have that hope. Alex will come back to me," he said as his eyes began to well up with tears. ** Settled in a boat far at a distance from the shore where he sat, she re

    She hurried out of the passage and climbed onto the balcony where she stood, pacing around. She could have been caught by Amelia, thank God for the tea story, she thought as she gave a sigh. She reached for her phone and looked around carefully before dialing the number. "Alex, it's Nat. I found a drawer which is tightly locked and I can't find the key to it. I have a strong feeling that what we are looking for is right in there," she said in whispers. "Did you search all the nooks and crannies?" She asked from the phone. "Yes I did and she almost bumped into me in the act," she related anxiously. "Search her bags, her personal bag. The one she moves with often. It's got to be in there," she assured. "Um, okay," she muttered uneasily. "Nat, you need to be fast. Since she almost caught you in the act there is no way she won't have her suspicions. You need to act quickly to lay your hand on that envelope before she moves it out of its place," she said. "Um..I'm thinking of a way t

    PRESENT "That is the story of how I survived. And right now, Maria and I are making plans on how to get back at those people. I need to make them suffer and pay dearly for all they did to me. That's the reason I reached out to Natasha. I believe she will be able to help us out," she related as she sniffed and wiped the tears that trickled down her cheek. "I'm glad you reached out to me too, I've been wearing myself out, mourning you day and night," Madison said with empathy. "I'm sorry I had to stay hidden for so long. It took me months to be healed from the traumas of that horrible night. It took me a lot to recover fully," she explained. "I get it perfectly, Alex. And I promise you will get justice. Right now, we need to do all we can to protect Junior," she said. "Junior will be fine. Barbara would never come near him," Maria assured. "But how did you do it, I mean, how did you both brainwash that little girl into believing Barbara was her mother and Adrian her father?" Madiso
