Grandpa was annoyed when his security informed him that someone had delivered a parcel, as he wasn’t expecting any gift. Worst of all, the delivery guy had refused to enter the house and the security couldn’t take the parcel because it was too huge. Grandpa stepped out of his palace to see a big black rectangular box with a big red ribbon. He suddenly felt uncomfortable, and asked irritably, “who delivered it?”The security didn’t know how to answer the question without sounding irresponsible. “They had masks on their faces.”Grandpa’s face was expressionless. He wanted to return the box but on second thoughts, ordered the security man to open it for curiosity's sake. The horrific sight that met his eyes was blinding, grandpa sunk on his knees and tried to wake the man in the box. His eyes that hadn’t shed tears in ages began to water like a fountain. His whole body shook violently from sorrow. He wailed in agony like a widow, his blurry eyes from tears catching sight of a pen drive
Jenna was trying hard to beat the time when she left the manor with the driver. She had no intention of picking a flight due to the delay the last time and was headed for the train station. When the driver hit the main road, she alighted from Casper’s car and picked a taxi, when she felt like she was being stalked. Casper always kept his word and he promised not to track her till after two hours so who could be tracking her? Jenna was a little afraid therefore, she alighted from that taxi to pick another one when an SUV stopped beside her.“Get if you want to make it on time.” A feminine voice with a little warmth bellowed. Jenna instinctively stared at the woman in the driver seat, who looked familiar and tried to remember where she saw her.“Who are you?” She squinted and asked, keeping a reasonable distance between them.“It doesn’t matter, just get in.” The voice turned impatient. Jenna recalled vaguely, the woman who claimed to be her guardian angel. She was also a known person
“I’m sorry Kate, you would have prevented me from leaving.” Jenna was saddened. She missed her friends but thought of their safety. She couldn't tell that to Kate.Kate was slightly guilty upon hearing her dismal voice. She could tell that Jenna was being candid and regretted poking her conscience to make her attend the wedding for Casper to nail her.“I’m just surprised that Casper let you go.”No one knew about her attempt to commit suicide and she thanked Casper in her heart for that. If she had used any other means, it wouldn't have worked. “It’s for the best.”“So, are you coming for the wedding or not?” Casper wrote the question on a notepad for Kate to ask Jenna. He wasn't interested in their pitiful talk.“I won’t miss it for anything,” Jenna assured her over the phone. Kate was excited but Casper was even more elated.“Better. I’ll see you in two weeks.”“Why two weeks?” Jenna’s heart was panging in her chest as she thought about how to make it to the wedding without being ca
Casper’s eyes narrowed dangerously when he saw the woman in his bed. She was wearing see-through lingerie and in the dark, he saw everything clearly, growing more and more agitated.“Get out!” He bellowed coldly. Donna shivered but wasn't going to give up. It wasn't easy for her to convince the guards that Casper knew she was coming. Since he was sleeping and she was his betrothed, they allowed her in so if she goes out now, they would know that she lied, which would ruin any future opportunity of using the same means again.“I can take care of your needs, don't be shy.” Her voice was soft and silky, it could melt any man's heart but not Casper. Donna had dyed her hair black and the lingerie was also black. She went the extra mile to please him but the only woman he wanted was Jenna and he was going to get her back by all means.“What do you want?” He got out of the bed and draped a towel robe over himself, as he was just in his boxers at the moment.Disappointment flashed in Donna's
Jenna woke up to hear Marshall, Kira, and Anna, speaking in tranquil tones. The doctor had left and Marshall had informed Anna, who returned not long ago after carrying out an assignment about Jenna’s pregnancy.Surprisingly, all the parties were happy with the news. Jenna and Casper loved each other so it was high time they stood and fought for each other. They didn't know how Pascal and Jenna were going to take the news but right now, they were in the minority.“What happened? How did I get here?” Jenna was baffled when she found herself in her room, unable to recall how she got there.“You fainted but it's okay. You and Casper are inseparable after all,” Marshall responded pensively. The last time he saw his son, he could see the longingness and pain he felt. It was just unfortunate that he couldn't force Jenna to go back. Still, he was obligated to encourage her.“I'm I dreaming? What's going on?” Jenna didn't hide her puzzlement. Perhaps they knew something she didn't.“You're pr
Casper was on the phone when his door pushed open. Cathan and Caleb walked in. Their wives were giving them hell because of the announcement. Reporting to work, they were determined to convince Casper to call off the engagement. As soon as Casper hung up the phone, Cathan asked,“Casper, if you were going to marry Donna, then why did you have to wait for so long? Our kids would have been around the same age.”Casper sighed. Cathan and Caleb's boys were just a few months apart in years. They have been in the Blade academy for a year now. At the time of their departure, Casper wished that they were his kids because they called him uncle and always caused mischief anytime they came to visit, making him wish to have his. Sadly, that didn't happen and indeed Cathan was right. If he had married Donna back then, his son or daughter would have also been in the academy by now.“I was waiting for Jenna but she doesn't seem to want me anymore. I'm not getting any younger and I need an heir.”“Wh
Time seemed to have stopped, as the two ex-lovers locked gazes. The auditorium froze as people looked on in both admiration and criticism, while they wondered the reason for Jenna's return. Mutters spiraled as Jenna expected, developing a thick skin to them.“The shameless woman is back again.”“Who is she?”“A whore who tried to seduce Mr Blade five years ago.”“And she's back?”“Is that why everyone is looking at her? I thought it was because she was stunning.”“Stunning indeed, but also vicious.”The Blade seniors were greatly annoyed. New ones had joined but didn't know Jenna. Only Noah and Rex with two others who were at grandpa’s party five years ago did. Hunter couldn't get through to Casper to tell him to focus, thereby sending the message through Cathan. Cathan didn't understand what was going on but acted on Hunter's instruction. He drew closer to Casper and whispered, "Casper, Hunter said you should focus." Casper suddenly regained himself, dropping his gaze. There was no
Donna’s face turned chagrin, seeing Jenna all happy. She didn't feel like she had an upper hand though Casper refused to speak with Jenna privately. Jenna had been intimate with Casper, which she hasn't been opportune to. It wasn't a surprise that she was dying with envy. “Cut it, Jenna, we're already engaged,” she snarled.Her engagement with Casper should have upset Jenna, which did but she hid it well, turning it against Donna.“Congratulations but you don't look happy.”Donna was embarrassed that Jenna could see through her, quickly denying it. “Who said I'm not? I'm very happy,” she let out a fake smile.Jenna’s lips thinned. The last time, she pitied Donna but after learning from Marshall that the Wreaths weren't so innocent, she didn't hold back at all. “He gave you a ring. Wonderful but I'm still the one he loves, deal with it.”Donna was disenchanted. When she met Jenna in her office five years ago, she acted all helpless but now, she was behaving like an obsessed lover. “
Think of the most beautiful flowers, the most expensive decor, this wedding was top notch and live broadcasted for everyone to see. It was the first time anyone except Jenna saw Casper smile. He walked through the aisle and waited for his bride at the altar. Did he ever stop wearing black? NO. But on this special day, he didn’t want to wear sunglasses so he had a special contact lens made to surprise Jenna because she was going to wear white. She still kept a secret but never did it reduce his love for her. Pregnancy could never be hidden when they were together.The auditorium was the most exquisite design from the best world acclaimed wedding planners. Casper couldn’t choose between Caleb and Cathan, appointing Hunter to be his best man. Caleb and Cathan took charge of the security of the event wholeheartedly. They weren’t offended by Casper’s decision. It was quite understandable.There were no groomsmen or bridesmaids. Casper saw them as a nuisance. Jenna had no objections because
Rex was eager to watch what was on the Pendrive because he wanted to know how grandpa died. Casper wasn’t ready to give any verbal explanation since he was anxious to go home and rest. He still had a lot to do so the earlier his body recovered, the better. The delay of the seniors while they contemplated on how to watch whatever was saved on the Pendrive annoyed him greatly, his countenance turned cold. He was about to speak when Rex noticed the change in his aura, quickly asking,“Can we go somewhere to talk about the amendment?”“No, my body needs rest.” His wounds were still fresh and though he felt minimal pain, he knew that stress would still affect the healing process. “Of course, you are still recovering. Let’s speak in my car then,” Rex suggested. Casper agreed.“Okay.” Then he turned to Jenna.“Please wait for me in the car.”Jenna didn’t argue and went to wait for him, while Casper entered Rex’s car, making himself comfortable in the passenger seat. Rex sat in the driver sea
The next morning, Casper woke up to the delicious aroma of French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, caramelised Bananas and a glass of warm milk. “Breakfast in bed,” Jenna was as bright as the morning sun and her smile was dazzling, melting the coldness of his heart. He smiled warmly.Jenna was amazed because this smile was a full blown one she had never seen before. She went ahead to ask him, since Casper kept admiring her and hadn’t spoken. “Good morning and how do you feel?” “This is the best day of my life,” Casper admitted, while he continued to stare with heavy emotions, into her grey eyes. Jenna let out a shy smile and said, “wrong, you might feel good but our best days are yet to come.” She was planning ways of making him the happiest man on earth. She picked the cutlery, pressing the fork to the egg and cutting through with the table knife. She lifted a piece of scrambled egg to Casper’s thin lips that parted to receive it. “Here, I’ll feed and give you your medication.”Casper
Soon, Hunter arrived with a doctor. He wasn’t a Blade Doctor because grandpa had sent his bodyguards to kidnap the Blade doctors living close by. His whole motive was directed at Casper not being able to survive the whole ordeal. The two love birds broke from the kiss at the intrusion. Jenna was slightly flustered at Hunter’s complicated gaze, which was contrary to his smile.“Jenna, you are here.”“Is it a compliment or reprimand?” Jenna smiled shyly and asked. She was the only woman around so it felt weird and the environment was new to her.“I’m just surprised to see you,” Hunter pursed his lips and said. He wanted to erase any suspicions that he had been spying on her.The doctor was about to attend to Casper when Hunter went to lock the door. Jenna, the doctor and Casper were all surprised but faintly understood when Cathan and Caleb drew closer, peeling off the fallen and lacerated skin from Casper like a Plaster.Casper winced but was most surprised when the fake skin was dump
As the days went by, Casper took a leave of absence from the office, and spent time with his son. They would play basketball together, visit the park, practice their fighting skills and even eat ice cream. However, he made sure to have dinner together with his son and Jenna, no matter how tired they were. As the subsequent days passed, Jenna only saw less of Casper because he never slept in his room. He would sneak into his son's room, sit on the small sofa and watch him sleep for hours till he dozed off. He would also ensure to sneak out before his son woke up. On the third day, Jenna was tired of it because she felt that Casper was avoiding her since she kept asking about what was decided on by the seniors. Casper was about to meet Caddaric in the gym when Jenna blocked his way. "Casp, what happened with the seniors?"Casper paused for a while, his eyes darkened slightly. "Nothing I can't handle. Rex will be coming for Caddaric in two days. There's a lot he has to learn,” Casper a
Casper saw his guests off. When he was about to return to his room, Hunter approached him. “I sent Denzel to Caleb.”Casper Could only assume that Hunter thought the Blade seniors were coming for his son, thereby letting Caleb come for him. However, there was one thing he didn't like. He spoke coldly. “His name is Caddaric Blade. Get him back.”“Okay,” Hunter said and turned to go back to the bodyguard's lounge, where he would put a call through to Caleb, when Casper asked behind him.“Can I ask you a question?” His tone was slightly softer than before.“Anything,” Hunter turned around and faced him.“Do you think that she loves me?” Casper asked hopefully. Hunter had a better experience with women. His advice also brought Jenna back. Whichever way, Hunter knew better than not to raise Casper’s hope or break it. Their relationship was the most complicated he had ever seen.“There is a way to find out but that would be after this ordeal is over.” Hunter wasn't going to respond with word
Grandpa had decided to stay away when Casper announced to get married to Donna. It was going to be a miserable marriage so grandpa was happy. The unfortunate girl loses after all. Unfortunately, another announcement was made by Donna and grandpa knew that it was because of the unfortunate girl because, he also heard that she attended the engagement party. Grandpa was displeased. Casper killed his son because of that girl and now, he wanted them to be married? Over his dead body would that happen. As soon as he heard the news, he sat in his jet after keeping his wife in a safe place, arriving just in time for the meeting to commence. This time around, he was going to break them apart with death. Not killing Jenna because that would only allow Casper to get revenge for her. He would kill Casper and take back everything. Grandpa was back to get revenge. He looked a little thinner and his long gray hair had been trimmed together with his beard. He wore a casual all-white shirt and trou
Casper was jumbled. Since when did Jenna become obsessed with him? He was granting her wish and yet, she won't leave. Whichever way, he was done with her. “Yes, you are. Unless you want me to call the guards.”Jenna was startled by his seriousness but then, what did she have to lose? She would just provoke him if begging wouldn't work. Afterall, Casper would never hurt her. He owed her his life. “You’ll call the guards on me?” She smirked and asked.Casper was baffled by the quick change in her conduct but responded curtly, “yes.”“Alright,” she nodded her head.Casper was surprised when she walked around his bed and pulled open the drawer. Indeed, he had changed the bed last year but still had drawers made at the side. “What are you doing?” He asked in irritation. She didn't respond and brought out a gun. She took her time and began loading it with bullets. Casper felt a strange fear in his heart, that wiped the anger he felt before.“Put that down,” he strutted towards her and tri
On his way home, Casper received multiple calls from the Blade seniors and the Wreaths but didn't answer any of them. He couldn't face them until he made a decision since his guts told him that Jenna wasn't who he thought she was.Denzel kept asking questions till they arrived at the manor. Casper went to his room with Denzel while Hunter waited with the bodyguards in their lounge. As soon as Denzel saw Jenna, disappointment flashed in his eyes.“You stayed with Mr Blade and left me. Dad isn't answering my calls either.” He felt neglected ever since they got to Manhattan. The guilt-stricken Jenna walked to the boy and cupped his cheeks in her palms but he moved away. He hated that and she knew it but couldn't hold back because he was too cute.“Don't do that. What are you doing here? Does dad know that you are with another man?” Denzel asked and Jenna glanced at Casper, instantly lowering her gaze. He had taken off his sunglasses and his eyes burned like fire, it was scary. Jenna’s hea
