Chapter 1A great lightning struck, accompanied with great storm. The sky became cloudy and unclear, then the rain began pouring heavily making every where wet and cold. Alyssa legs kept on pacing to and fro with extreme tears clouded in her eyes. Weak, she staggared backwards as a doctor finally broke the news to her for the second time." I have little time to live ? Just how many months? "She asked trying to be strong and control her tears.Her weak legs dragged her towards a fate which she wasn't even aware of, but damn she never cared less to check the surrounding . She only gave her legs the full control to keep taking her where it wishes to.What's the use ? Even if it takes her towards her death or a cliff it wouldn't even matter one bit, after all death might come in some months duration, not now but later in the future.As the cold rain touched her skin, her tears increased making her whimper really low with arms encircled around herself." dad, mom, do I really have to join
A week after the incident which she had seen that day, every other man who came to woo her or flirt with her always seems so stupid, daft, and never met her standards. This wasn't a time to start choosing right now, due to her limited time on Earth, but one way or the other, Alyssa always found an excuse to push them all away.Tired and confused, she lifted herself from her bed feeling restless and unimaginably unsatisfied, and what the hell could satisfy her she had no clue. Frustrated, she picked up her cell phone and dialed her aunt's number" Alyssa, sweetheart, it's been so long since you called last "she heard her aunt Judy's voice, and immediately she sneered " Such great pretense" she muttered to herself silently on the phone. " dear are you there? " Her stupid, desperate aunt asked her even though her voice, it was so simple for her to figure out that she was so pretending to love and care for her. Her property and wealth are all she wants from her she was never going to gi
Alex scoffed as he looked at the men all laid on the ground in their pools of blood. In a wave of intense anger, he walked away heading towards his car parked just close to the bar."Just what the hell was his brother thinking?" He asked himself in his enraged state, engaging his car into more speed than before heading towards his house.He wouldn't kill his brother for messing around with him, but he felt like it was time to teach him a little lesson just enough to make him remember never to mess around with him. If he was gonna leave for good, he needed to at least show his brother he wasn't a weakling like him.Immediately he parked his car properly, Alex got down and headed towards his room. As he got there, he took off his cloth and tied a towel around his waist. He walked further towards the mirror hung on the wall of his room and began glaring at himself. Alex was everything like his father, mostly in appearance and it was something he hated so much. Even though he felt he was i
" Why didn't you leave her to die mom,. Why the hell did you have to save her, she should have died for all I care . You acted so stupid mom " . a young girl about the same age or maybe older than Alyssa spoke up with arms akimbo ." Don't you dare talk to me that way Olivia I'm still your mother young lady, besides we still need her, we still have used for her. Remember she still hasn't signed the papers yet we should think about how to make her sign it, not standing here quarreling over something that isn't important" Mrs Judy replied her daughter also standing akimboShe wore a long black jean with a green top, Olivia shook her head in disbelief, " don't you think we get to own the company if she dies? Huh after all ,we are the only family she has,I don't even know why uncle had to will everything to her alone without willing anything to you, I mean he acted so stupid, he was such a fool" Olivia continued gazing at her mum who looked at her with mixed feelings. like seriously, some
" What did you say?"Alex spoke up looking at her, such a little lady coming to him and willing to do something so dangerous." Little lamb, do you know who I am?"He asked taking a few steps towards her. This made Alyssa draw back a little in fear not because he was actually getting closer to her, but also because he wouldn't drop his gun." What are you doing?" His voice sounded really cold when he noticed she was moving backwards little by little, he stopped and stared at her for a while before speaking. " How can a scared little flower like you wish to sign a contract with me. What do I stand to gain by letting you " He asked making a scared Alyssa take a step closer to him." I clearly heard you, I do not need your love or affection,and isn't that what you want?.". She asked sounding so bold all of a sudden. Alex scoffed and tried taking another step closer to her, she moved back. He looked at the gun he was holding and suddenly smiled." I am dangerous, if you must know". Alex sai
Upon hearing that she was still willing to go ahead and become his contracted wife Alex couldn't help but be shocked by her courage. "Fine, but do not say I did not warn you about what you are getting yourself into," Alex said as he gave Alyssa his business card. Alyssa collected the card from him as she tried looking him in the eyes so he wouldn't sense the fear that was creepy through her. "I will let you think about these decisions you want to make, so yeah once you are done think about it and you are ready to continue with it you can just place a call to me," Mr. Alex said to Alyssa before he took his leave not wanting her to say anything. Immediately Alyssa got home she dropped her handbag on the bed and immediately went to the bathroom. She wanted to cool her head, after that conversation she had with Alex she had been feeling a headache. "I might have gone overboard," Alyssa said to herself as she turned on the shower. After a lot of thinking she finally came to a c
Thought Clouded Alyssa's mind as she wondered what in the world had happened when she called Mr mafia last night. After a lot of thought, she still couldn't remember what had happened and she decided not to disturb herself by thinking of what had happened last night over the call instead she started to think of what could be next for her now that she had accepted to be the contracted wife to a Mafia lord. "Even if I do not have a long time to live again due to my sickness, I still don't want to die quickly in the hands of my handsome Mr mafia," Alyssa said to herself as she went down the stairs to prepare breakfast for herself. **** Alex dropped his phone immediately after the call and walked over to the mirror to check out himself because he was getting ready for a business meeting when Alyssa called. As Alex walked gracefully to the mirror he couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into Alyssa that had made her accept to be his contracted wife, even though he had made her u
Alyssa glanced at her phone and noticed that she hadn't received any text message from Alex yet. While she was eager to finalize the contract and become the wife of a mafia don, she didn't appreciate wasting her time. After losing her parents and taking over her father's company, Alyssa developed a strong sense of punctuality. She had always been someone who valued being early and respecting time. Alyssa hesitated as she reached for her phone, contemplating whether or not to call Alex once again. Alyssa was concerned about giving off the impression of desperation to Alex. She didn't want him to perceive her as someone who was solely focused on finding a husband quickly before her time in life was up. Speaking about her death Alyssa had made some rules that she was going to uphold once she signed the contract and also she had made one wish concerning the contract she wanted to sign and that was the only thing she hoped and wished that Mr Mafia would accept. Alyssa kept checking a
“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
