As soon as they got to the dance floor, The atmosphere became tense for Alyssa because all eyes were on them.As much as Alyssa loves fancy and grand parties she never for once loved the spotlight that comes from it. But she became used to the spotlight after she joined the business.Alex placed Alyssa's right hand on his shoulder and one of his hands slowly held onto her waist as he drew her closer to himself.Alyssa wasn't expecting him to draw her that close to himself so he made her grasp a bit.“What feeling uncomfortable?...uhm..” Alex asked, As they danced slowly to the music.“No!, why would I be?...am your wife after all? '' Alyssa said with a smirk on her face. “Well, I guess you should be the one uncomfortable because you don't like it when a lady comes close to you” Alyssa continued.“Wow I see you enjoy coming close to me, so what about now?” Alex asked as he drew her even closer to himself than before, Making Alyssa's breasts hit his chest as he held onto her tightly.A
“When should I be expecting the details?”“In two days sir, everything should be ready by then,” Lisa said to Tony with all certainty.Tony called his secretary before leaving the party to come meet him at a bar closer to his location, Immediately he left the party hall and got into his car his driver Marco drove him off Immediately.“I don't want this to exceed two days Lisa, so you better keep to your word I will be giving you a leave from work for the two days so you can focus on this assignment I just gave you and report back to me in two days!, ok?” “Yes sir…” Lisa replied.Tony stood up and walked away leaving Lisa at the bar after sending her the pictures of Alyssa he had taken.“Hello…yes, I have got a picture of the person,” Lisa said to someone at the other end of the phone.“OK then, I will get back to you within three days”“What!, three days…you told me if I could get a picture then you would be able to get her details within two days, so why change it now?”“Am sorry L
Alex drove silently as he thought of everything that had happened that night, at first he didn't want to let any of the things he heard bother him but as much as he tried to get it out of his head, his thought kept bringing it backEven though he had signed the contract to be Alyssa's husband, he didn't want to care or have any form of affection for her before the sudden realization of her painful life.Alex imagined losing his parents at an early age and couldn't help but wonder how Alyssa had coped all her life.“No wonder she is so outspoken and doesn't fear anyone, seeing that her Dad's friend is also a mafia Lord, why would she be scared of a mafia? Alex said silently.“Are you trying to say something to me?” Alyssa asked Alex to make a sharp turn to enter the Street where Alyssa lived.“No!...why would I” Alex's ruthless voice still sent shivers down Alyssa's spine as she kept on wondering why his words had to have much of an effect on her.Alex didn't want Alyssa to notice the
Two Days later Tony sat in his office as he got a call from someone, he dropped the call, got up, and walked out of the office like he was in to get to where he was going.As he opened the door to his office and rushed out, all the workers’ eyes were on him and he couldn't care less because they wouldn't dare say a word about his actions else they would end up jobless for the rest of their lives.****“Ple..please, don't kill me…am sorry”“What do you want? I promise to give you everything you want but please just spare my life. I am so sorry…”“Shut the fu*k up, you son of a bit*h!” Dominic said. “Oh, you thought you could run forever…well guess what my boss is on his way already…I would have killed you myself but he wanted to do so, so you better just keep your voice down and don't make me how upset”“Please, I don't want to die in the hands of Tony…he is not the type to show mercy at all…please I don't want to die, I already said I was sorry…I promise I won't interfere in anything
Tony got out of his car and entered his office. Everyone had a questioning look on their face as they saw him but no one could be asked. Tony changed his outfit on his way back to the office at one of his favorite shopping malls, he was putting on a black suit different from the white he was putting on when he left the office in a hurry. Tony walked into his office and after a few minutes, his secretary came knocking on his door. “Who is there!” Tony asked with a straight voice, making Lisa wonder if she had come at a good time or not. “Good afternoon sir, it's Lisa,” Lisa said with a shaking voice not wanting Tony to shout at her. “Come in Lisa,” Tony said softly…which surprised Lisa as she opened the door.Tony sits behind his desk, engrossed in work…as he looks up at Lisa immediately she enters his office …Lisa enters with a purposeful stride. As she was holding onto a file marked 'Alyssa Background Check.' “Nice, Lisa…You've got the details I asked for. Excellent!”Lisa n
Alex's down at his gym after a few minutes of exercising to relieve himself from the stress and unnecessary thoughts he has been having lately.Alex's mind went back to the conversation he had with Mr. Clinton before signing the deal he had with him…Mr Clinton talked to him at length and he could ignore everything Mr Clinton had said to him.Alex's Green eyes looked around for his phone and he saw it in a corner of the gym. He stood up and walked gracefully toward the chair his phone was lying on. He picked up his phone and sat on the chair.Holding the phone in his hands his fingers hovered over the phone's keypad, contemplating if the decision he was about to make was right or not, Alex with a deep breath finally dialed up her number and placed a call.His phone rang for a while … Beep … Beep…Beep…and there was no response so he was about to cut the call before he had Alyssa's voice.a mix of curiosity and calmness, greeted him on the other end of the call saying “Hello?”Alex was s
“I'm coming!” Alyssa said as Alex was getting impatient already.“Can't you at least help me with a bag?” Alyssa asked as she could leave her house with two boxes by her side.“Just pretend to be a gentleman for once Mr Mafia,” Alyssa said as she was already by the way Alex was making her rush.“You seriously need to watch it, young lady! And I already told you not to pack too much luggage, you can always come to pick up anything whenever you want! But no… you never listen” Alex said to Alyssa as she became silent all of a sudden not knowing what to say, she knew instantly that she had annoyed Alex so she just kept quiet and carried her boxes towards the car as Alex opened the boot of the car.Alyssa got into the car immediately she kept her luggage inside the boot, And Alex drove off.“I should have just driven myself here if it was going to be so rude of me asking for your help,” Alyssa said as she turned and faced the other side of the road.Alex on the other hand did not even repl
“What mom! I already told you am not marrying that man…his too old for my liking”“But we need him, darling, you know how much harm we have caused the company, and his the only one that can help us now else we will end up going to jail”“I Don't care mom, I am not going to marry an old fool because of you!”“What! OMG…you stubborn brat…argh…you know everything you have ever done was for you; for the both of us to live happily…but… but here you have been selfish towards me!”“Oh come on mum, what have I done? Is refusing to get married to an old fool a selfish act!?,...uhm..tell me mom.. how can a mother tell her daughter to go marry a man that's old enough to be her grandfather?.... ummm…tell me, Mom, I don't even love him… so why?... um.. why should I marry him? Just give me a good reason Mom!” Olivia yelled out.“Shut your mouth!” Mrs Judy said as she slapped Olivia across her face.“What!How dare you, Olivia? uhm… how dare you question your mom like that!...after everything has bee
“What are you doing here?” Alex asked Lauren immediately if he saw her with Alyssa.“Get out now!” Alex yelled.“Reduce your voice, she's just regaining consciousness now please, and I will go” Lauren said as she was about to stand up when Alyssa held onto her.Alex was shocked he wasn't sure what was happening but he didn't want to see her.Alex immediately went to Alyssa. “ Hey baby doll…how are you feeling?” He asked out of curiosity.“i'm good, don't shout at Lauren” Alyssa said.“Please don't talk Alyssa let Celine get to your doctor first and let her check and be sure you are fine before you start talking” Lauren said calmly.“Yes, don't talk Aly” Alex agreed with Lauren.Celine came in shortly with the doctor and she told everyone to wait out while she checked up on Alyssa.Few minutes later she came out and informed them that Alyssa was fine and she was asking Alex if Alex should go see her.Alex immediately went to see Alyssa. “Hey baby doll, are you asking of me? I'm sorry I
THERE WEEKS LATER A sunny afternoon Alyssa was coming back from the hospital when she went for her check.Immediately she stepped out of the hospital she saw a taxi but as she tried stopping it the taxi took another way so she wanted to cross over to the other side of the road to stop a cab from there as she tried crossing the road a car came with full speed as it hit Alyssa and ran off.Alex who was following Alyssa from a distance all fainted as he watched Alyssa fall to the ground…when he was following her and he saw that she went to the hospital he was wondering what she went to do their but at these moment he couldn't think again he immediately ran to Alyssa who was already unconscious as she laid lifeless on the ground and blood was drip from her head.Alex was so scared he immediately rushed Alyssa back to the hospital.Olivia and Tony stopped the car miles away from the accident so nobody would suspect they did it and they looked at each other and congratulated themselves.To
Few days laterOlivia's friend called her up and informed her about Alyssa. She told her that she saw Alyssa and a lady at the hospital the other day but she wasn't sure which of them was sick and Olivia thanked her friend for the information before hanging up.She called Tony immediately and informed him about the new update that Alyssa wa going to the hospital and she was going with someone, Olivia didn't listen to her mum she joined hands with Tony to bring down Alyssa and Alex and Olivia mum knew about everything but she did not about since Olivia had informed her that they were going to get billions from these and they could run far away with the money.“Alyssa i will be the end of you trust me” Olivia muttered to herself.********“Thanks Lauren…I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me” Alyssa said.“Come on Alyssa don't thank me, I mean you have also stood up from me once so what in the world are you thanking me for” Lauren said as she laid down on the couch.“And
THREE DAYS LATERAlex was done with all he had to do so it was time he traveled back to town to go check up on Alyssa.Alex had told Jake to keep an eye on Alyssa since Alyssa told him.not to stay back that she wouldn't need anyone to protect her Alex told Jake to ensure she doesn't find out that he was keeping a tab on her.For the past three days Alex had buried himself with work so he didn't feel much pain. A huge part of him was still missing Alyssa but as he was working day in day out there was no space for depression.Alex knew that going back to town means he has to seal with his brother annoying schemes and plot and seeing Alyssa form a distance without going to her.It hurts to think about all that but he was prepared, and he hoped he was prepared enough for the worse case scenario.He took off in the morning with some of his bodyguards and arrived almost in the afternoon so he went straight to Alyssa house to inform her get that he was back, Jake had told him that she was at
“I have made up my mind Alex I don't want any treatment! And I don't want to travel to anywhere inside I want to go back home, I mean my house back to town…after reading these letter I know I don't have more than a month left even with the help of drugs do I better make the best out of the days I have left on earth” Alyssa said.“Stop saying that Alex, think about me how do you want me to survive without you Alyssa, I can't live without you Alyssa…you know how much I love you now so why are you doing these why are you saying all these, you are not dying my love am with you we will go through there together” Alex eyes became watery.“But that's my faith Alex and I can't let you change it and I won't allow it affect you Alex” Alyssa said.“And what do you mean by you wouldn't make it affect me?” Alex asked curiously, hoping it was not what he was thinking.“I want to end this Alex, I can't let you go through the pain my dad went through after my mum's Death and I am sure you will be abl
Three Days laterThe past few days have been the best for both Alex and Alyssa and they could both testify to it that they have enjoyed every bit of it. The time they spent together, when they watched movies and ate together, when Alex took Alyssa on a long drive one of the nights and when she prepared a meal for him they enjoyed every bit of it and hoped for more.It was a blissful Saturday morning when Alyssa woke up and decided that she was going to go for a little shopping since she needed a new shoe, Alex wanted to follow her but she told him not to worry since he had lot of work to do since and all thanks to her he was having little time at work during the week so she told him to stay back and work that she wouldn't be long.Alyssa left a few minutes after they had their breakfast together. And Alex went ahead to work since he had a lot of work to do.In an hour time Alyssa was already at the mall, she went with some bodyguard as Alex insisted that he was going to go with her if
—--------EVENING----------- Alyssa was so excited throughout the day that she even decided to prepare dinner since she had her husband for the very first time.She went grocery shopping with Jake and called Mrs Jane to find out what Alex's favourite dish was.She happily prepared his dinner since he had called her to inform her that he would be coming back earlier than usual today.Alex called Alyssa ever second he was free at the office just to heard her voice and Alyssa was so happy about it, she had never been called so frequently by anyone in her life except her aunt when ever she wanted to nag her or ask for her help but expect that she had never been called just to be reminded that she was beautiful and the best thing that has ever happened to someone.Alyssa waited patiently for Alex to come back immediately she was done cooking she went up to her room to take her bath and she got dressed in a simple ware that is a bum shot and a round neck top that suits her skin well. Alex a
“What took you so long to say those words to me, have been dying to hear you say that you love me” Alex said looking into Alyssa's eye.“I still can't believe these Alex, I mean I just hope and not dreaming because if I am then am never going to wake up from.these perfect dream” Alyssa said.“no baby doll, these isn't a dream and I can tell you fot such that I love you. Not only in your dream world but in reality, I have fallen in love with you and everything about you and I don't want to ever loss you to anyone” “And you are never going to lose me to anyone as far as I am alive and breathing” Alyssa replied as she gave Alex a big hug.“How about we watch a movie?” Alyssa suggested to Alex.“Yeah that's just perfect, I will go set up the cinema” Alex said still holding unto Alyssa.“Sure. And I will go grab us some snack from the fridge” Alyssa said.“OK then” Alex was still holding unto Alyssa he didn't want to let go of her as if she was going to run away if he did “ let go Alex am
I LOVE YOU “This woman, her drama never ends,” Alex said to himself.“And what is she doing there?” Alex asked the maid.“No idea sir but I guess she is planning on spending the night there because she went with her pillow and a bed cover” The maid responded respectfully.“OK then, you may take your leave. I will handle it from here on, '' Alex said.“OK sir”Alex dished his food in a Plate as he eat… he had tons of documents he had to go through and sign but also he could think of was Alyssa and why she had suddenly changed towards him, why she keeps saying thing that would hurt his feelings every time he tries been sweet to her, Alex felt like if he didn't open up to Alyssa sooner than later then he might end up regretting it. He knew the contract was going to affect everything but still he didn't care all he wanted was Alyssa and her love the rest are aside for him.Alex finished eating his food and went up to his room to work.“ Oh my God! Where am I going to sleep like this?” Al
