He couldn’t wait for the car to halt before jumping out of it. He ran into the house with the men running after him, holding his briefcase.

As he stepped into the living room, he was welcomed by the somber faces of everyone present in the living room which includes Alex’s friends and family. He began to pant heavily as he stared at their faces and all eyes turned in his direction.

“Adrian,” Natasha called anxiously as she stood up abruptly and rushed over to meet him.

“Where is my wife? Is she not back yet?” He asked innocently as he looked into Natsha’s face which was filled with tears.

“No, Adrian. It’s almost three days now and there is still no word from her, nor even her kidnappers,” she cried and he scoffed and shook his head in disbelief.

Right now, he was lost, he was dumbfounded and he has lost his senses of reasonings. It all sounded like a Joke to him when he first heard the news of her kidnap. But right now, everything seems real as he saw the faces of the people who w

  • Married to the billionaire's heir   THE ANNIVERSARY

    MONTHS LATER Stepping onto the balcony, she could see him sitting close to the guardrails with his eyes staring through space. He was looking so emaciated and unkept with an unshaved beard and bushy hair which had been left uncombed for the past few months. She stopped for a moment and heaved a sigh as she saw him caressing the portrait in his hand which had become his daily custom. Her heart became heavy and she sniffed as she tried to hold back her tears from falling. She walked over to him and knelt before him. “Nat,” he called with a wry smile on his dry lips as his weary eyes looked into hers. “Adrian, you need to stop. I need you to put yourself together and be strong for Junior,” she cried. He smiled and looked away from her face. “I’m strong,” he muttered. “No, you’re not. You’re losing it! Your mental health is deteriorating,” she cried as she rubbed his palms tenderly. “Tomorrow is our second anniversary. We planned to visit Dubai together to make memories,” he said w

    “I’m so happy my bro is up on his feet again,” Natasha said with a smile as she helped him knot the tie around his neck. He smiled wryly and heaved a sigh. “I will be going to Abuja for an emergency meeting tomorrow,” he revealed and she smiled. “You know, hanging out with the boys really helped you a lot. You see, you should make friends,” she said. “That was what she told me some time ago," he said with a smile and she frowned. "You are talking about Alex, again,” she sighed and he smiled. “I can’t stop talking about my wife,” he said and she nodded with a smile. “Um..on the night of the remembrance, I saw you and Amos together frequently. Have you guys met before?” He asked. She froze and gulped as she walked away from him slowly. “Um..no..um..yeah..just a few couple of times with Alex. Yes..he had come visiting before Alex’s demise,” she stammered. “Hmm. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking?” He asked and she shook her head frantically. “What do you know I’m thinking?” He a

    Stepping into the living room, she could see Amelia walking down the stairs, staring at her in dismay. "Nat..is..is everything okay?" She asked as she looked at the brown rolling box beside her. "Yes..yes, mother," she replied. She stopped for a moment and her small round eyes looked at her face in surprise. This is the first time she was referring to her as mother. "Um..I'm glad you are here," she said with a forced smile on her face. "I'm here to stay. I want to be with my father..," She said and the smile on her face diminished. "Oh..um..yeah," she said nervously. " And also to be with you. I want to spend time with my mother, so I can get to know you better. I know we've not been good together as mother and daughter, but I guess I was just overwhelmed and sad by the fact that you abandoned us. But now, I want to make things right," she said. Her face broke into a smile and she opened her arms wide to embrace her. They both embraced briefly and her small lips broke into a s

    Walking into the room, she could see Natasha sitting on the bed beside her father. Her brows raised and she heaved a sigh of tiredness as she walked to the bed. "Oh, mom, you slept late," Natasha said as she dropped her phone on the bed and a smile appeared on her lips. "Yeah..I.. I don't know how it happened," she said as she shook her head abstrusely while walking to the bed. "Oh, I need to give your father his tea," she said as she walked to the shelf. "No, mother. I've served him his tea already," she said with a smile. She stopped and turned to look at her with her brows raised. "Oh..um..how..did you find the tea pack?" She asked. "I searched around the room. Of course I know it will be in here," she said with a smile. "Oh..um..okay," she replied with a wry smile on her lips. A knock came on the door and Natasha stood up from the bed and walked over to the door. "Madam, a lady is here to see you," the maid at the door said. She was puzzled as she looked at her face for

  • Married to the billionaire's heir   HER SAVIOR

    FLASHBACK Her heavy pants could be heard as she ran through the dark night towards the bottom of the bridge which was pitch black and void of people. She was halfway to the river shore when she bumped into a group of men who seemed to be fleeing from the water. They looked very much like fishermen and she stopped for a moment as she saw them staring at her face in curiosity. "Please, help me. A friend of mine has fallen into the water," she pleaded intensely as she gasped for breath. The men took slow glances at each other and they tried to hurry past her. "Please help me, she is gonna die, please," she pleaded as she turned to face them. "Didn't you hear the gunshot? Ehh, woman?" One of the men asked as he shot her an angry look while pointing a bright torch light at her face. "I heard it and I need to rescue her. Please, before it's too late. You don't need to worry about the gunshot, the bad people are gone. I will offer you money," she offered and they took slow glances at e

    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

    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

    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

    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

  • Married to the billionaire's heir   THE TRIAL

    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
