"Is there any other thing?" Bryson asked seeing Alex was still there after delivering his message.

"No, sir," Alex replied snapping out of his thought where his focus was on Dede.

Alex headed for the exit and Bryson stared at him exiting the rooftop. He did see how Alex was looking at Dede and also read the anger in his eyes which quickly changed to a neutral mood when he asked if there was anything else. Bryson moved his gaze to Dede and could tell from her body language she felt very embarrassed. He bent his knees and rested his hand on her thighs.

"Hey, you are an adult and you don't have to be embarrassed about things like this," Bryson said and planted a kiss on her forehead and hands before pulling her up with him.

The two exited the rooftop and returned to the next floor. They head for the bedroom and Bryson enters his room with Dede. She sat on the couch and Bryson fetched his phone from his bag and saw multiple calls from his mother. He dialled her number and waited for the c

    The night passed and Bryson didn't come home.In the morning, Dede woke up from her sleep by the sound of her alarm. Her face looked puffy and her eyes were swollen from crying herself to sleep. She dragged herself out of bed to the bathroom. After taking a shower she dressed up ready for the office. She slept in her room so she didn't know Bryson was still not back. Dede stepped out of her room with no appetite for food. She went out the front door and down to the garage. In the garage, she saw a space between the parked cars. Bryson always has his cars lined up. Even though she had not paid attention to the number of cars Bryson owned, the space between the parked cars was something she didn't expect to see. Alex came downstairs a few minutes later with a frown on his face."Go back upstairs. The boss is not around," Alex said with a deep frown."Is it a break for the company?" Dede asked with no expression."You work directly with the boss. What will you be doing in his absence?" Al

    Dede was surprised by Alex's statement. How was it her fault what was happening to Bryson? "Look. I am only trying to help you. You need to leave now before any of the family members see you," Alex warned. Dede turned around shocked to her very bone. She took slow steps towards the exit but heard a familiar voice calling out to her. She turned around to find Melissa. "What are you doing here? Haven't you caused enough trouble? Bryson was doing fine and only visited the hospital for a general health check. Since you showed your face, he has been to the hospital twice. First, you poisoned him and now because of you he went out of his apartment late in the night and had an accident," Melissa accused. Dede couldn't defend herself. She recalled the food poisoning incident in which she blamed herself for not being careful enough but how did she contribute to Bryson stepping out late the previous day? "You have caused enough trouble and I will advise you to stay away from my fiancee.

  • Truth or Dare   Chapter 48: Bryson in the hospital

    Bryson left the penthouse for the hospital after his mother invited him over. What convinced him to leave the penthouse was the fact that his mother told him, Melissa had an accident after coming to the penthouse. Seeing his mother at the hospital, and her having nothing important to tell him, he decided to leave the hospital. On his way back to the penthouse, just a 5 km drive away from the hospital, a vehicle crashed into his vehicle. The driver of the vehicle died on the spot and so did the guard sitting next to Bryson. He took most of the impact shielding Bryson. The guard in the co-driver seat, upon seeing what had happened shot himself. He knew what the Adams family would do to him for his failure to protect Bryson. The vehicle Bryson was in had one side mangled. The driver of the other vehicle that crashed into Bryson's vehicle fled the scene before the police and an ambulance arrived at the scene. Bryson was the only one found to be alive after they cut the car to get him out.

    It was already late. People were putting on their lights. All the streetlights had been turned on. Alex wondered where Dede could be. He exited the living room and in a few minutes was outside the building. He walked up to the security man at the gate."Hey," he greeted."Have you seen Dede?" Alex asked."No, please. I haven't seen her," replied the security man."Since she left this place in the morning, has she returned?" Alex asked."No," replied the security man."Fuck!" Alex cursed. He recalled the state in which Dede left the hospital. She looked lost. It registered on his mind she may have wandered off after the driver dropped her. He walked through the gate and walked down the pavement heading for the junction. At the junction, the pedestrian walkway goes both ways. Now the question was which one did Dede use? She didn't even have a phone to be called. "Hmmm," Alex growled. How can he go back to the hospital and report he couldn't find Dede? It would be the second time she h

  • Truth or Dare   Chapter 50: Bryson and Dede's Moment

    It was fifteen minutes to midnight and Bryson opened his eyes again. He scanned the room and was happy to see Dede sitting on the sofa. No Melisssa, no Janet. They were the two people he didn't want to see as he felt his mother's support for Melissa. "Dede," he called out to her softly and Dede's attention was drawn to Bryson.She was dosing off but hearing Bryson's voice in the quietness of the night she forced her eyes open. "Please come," Bryson said softly, staring at Dede looking at him from the sofa where she sat. Dede stood up from the sofa and walked towards Bryson's bed. She pulled the chair next to the bed closer and sat on it. "How are you?" Bryson asked and Dede was surprised. He had a terrible accident which almost claimed his life and he was rather asking her how she was doing. Shouldn't she be the one asking him that question? She replied to his question anyway. "I am fine. How are you?" Dede asked with genuine concern. "I am good now that you are here. I didn

    "Dede, please come," Bryson said as soon as Melissa exited the room. Dede stood up and walked toward Bryson's bed. She sat down and Bryson held her hand in his. "I want you to listen carefully to what about to tell you," Bryson said pulling Dede closer as he spoke in a whisper. "A man will drop a package over at the penthouse today. It is for you. As soon as you receive it, go into my room. Tap on my bed headboard, and a secret safe would open. There is a key inside it. Pick up the key and opened the box inside the first drawer of my bedside table. There is a black card in it and some cash inside. Take any amount you want and leave the penthouse," Bryson said and Dede frowned. "I was asked to take care of you. How do I do that when I am away? And if I leave the penthouse, where do I go?" Dede asked. "I will give you the details but you can't stay here. They will mess you up. I can't protect you like this," Bryson said with concern and Dede nodded. "Good girl," Bryson said and k

    "Whatever," Foster said staring at Dede, lying on the sofa with her eyes closed. "If we take the pictures of her in this condition, it would look fake. She needs to be awake," he said. "It would take a while for her to wake up and I don't want her to see me here," Alex said. "What would you do to get her to take her clothes off?" he asked. "Drugged her of course. Whatever is there to do," Foster said sounding like that is something Alex should know. "Remember, do not touch her. If you do I will know and I will put a bullet in between your eyes," Alex warned before leaving the place. He knew what he was doing to Dede was not good but it was either that or Melissa would have her killed. Bryson was in no position to protect her from where he was lying stuck up in the hospital. Outside, Alex stared at the door one last time before leaving the premises. Back at the hospital, Janet strode into the ward, later in the day with her husband, Jacob. Jacob frowned when he didn't see Dede. "W

    "Surprise I know you little secret?" Jacob said and Janet opened her mouth a couple of times but no words came out. "Yes, I saw your medical report. The one you ran a couple of days before I married you," Jacob said and Janet immediately became calm like the waters and turned white like a sheet. "You knew?" Janet said almost in a whisper."Yes, I did but I didn't want to stress you so I accepted that story you told me. James' first wife's eggs were extracted for that purpose. I had to see her privately and begged her to do that. She didn't want to because that would mean, Bryson would be she and I, our son. I begged her to do this for me and she agreed," Jacob said and Janet lowered her head.She had paid some doctors to secretly extra James's first wife's egg. She was at the hospital that day and she paid the doctor cash. They took her money and the work done was no secret."I also knew about the doctors you paid to secretly extra her eggs for the purpose.

    Bryson left the room after he was done. After he found Dede in the hotel dressed like that and the images that were sent to him, which he confirmed were fake with the help of Knight, he started monitoring all of them to collect enough evidence to punish all of them. "I am done," Bryson said to Arnold as he was in his office. "And thank you for looking after my wife," he added and Dede stood to his feet accepting Bryson's hand which he offered to her."It is no trouble at all," Arnold said. "So what are you going to do about your disappearance news which had gone viral?" he asked."The news said I was missing, not dead. Except for my stepmother, I want the rest to be on the news for the crimes they committed. I will announce my presence and present my wife to the world," Bryson said."Very well, Mr Adams. I will make that happen," Arnold acknowledged and Bryson left the office. They sat in the car and headed for the hospital. Inside the car, in the back seat, Dede rested her head on

    The police car drove in and parked in the parking lot. In handcuffs, Alex was brought out of the vehicle and led towards the station. Inside the station, he walked into a room which he quickly figured was an interrogation room."I have a right to an attorney. I am not saying anything until my attorney is here," Alex said when he was forced to sit and his hand locked to the table. "Yeah, you do," the officer chuckled and exited the room. Alex remained calm as he scanned the room. It was very small and there was a mirror behind him. There was another chair in front of him. He was forced to rest his hand on the table because he had been handcuffed to the table. After what seemed like forever, the door was slowly pushed open and a man walked in accompanied by an officer. The man had on a shade and a mask. His face was completely covered. Alex frowned wondering what was going on but still kept his cool. The officer pulled the seat behind the table for the man and he sat down. Alex's fr

    Bryson and Dede were ushered into the office of the chief of police. They sat on the provided seat and the door was closed to give them privacy. Bryson removed the nose mask he had on and took off the baseball cap to reveal his identity."Ah, Mr Adams, I thought you were," asked the chief of police, Arnold, looking surprised like he had seen a ghost."Dead?" Bryson completed the statement."No, but you were involved in an accident. We still have what is left of your burnt car and my people are out there trying to find you," Arnold said in one breath surprised by Bryson showing up unharmed in his office."That is why I am here. My life and that of my wife here had been threatened," Bryson began. "I am here to report a crime going on in this city right under your nose," he added with a serious expression.Dede also removed her nose mask and the scarf she had used to cover her head."She is my legally married wife," Bryson began. "To the people who know her, she is dead or missing. And th

    Knight smiled and Bryson looked upstairs. Knight knew exactly what Bryson was thinking about."You fed her with too much crazy information last night?' he asked."I feel so. Her father's sudden appearance. Possibility of Brian being her half-brother. I wish with all my heart Brian would not be her half-brother. It will break her," Bryson said sadly."Did Brian sleep with her?" Knight asked for confirmation concluding it would be the only thing that would traumatise someone after finding a family member."That bastard raped her," Bryson replied. "Sorry to hear about that. I will advise, whatever you found out keep it away from her then," Knight advised. His phone beeped with a message notification. Knight keeping checked it and stared at Bryson."What?" Bryson asked curiously."Your worst fears have been...." Knight began and stared at his screen again. "Brian is her half-brother," Bryson completed the sentence when Knight stared at him."Nope. This whole thing is beginning to look

    Alex was sitting in the living room, casually dressed. He held the TV remote in his hand and playfully tapped on the keys as he stared at the black screen of the TV. His phone rang snapping him back to reality. He checked the caller and answered it immediately."It is done," came a voice."Good. You left something for the police?" Alex asked."Yes, boss," replied the man. "Good," Alex acknowledged and ended the call. He grabbed his car keys and exited the apartment. He got behind the wheel and started the car engine. He moved the car out of the compound and went down to the club downtown. He found a place to park, got out of the car and took long strides towards the club. Some girls loitering around the club entrance tried to flirt with him. She shot them a dangerous look scaring them off. He walked into the club and sat on a chair positioned in front of the stage where a stripper was dancing seductively. At the hideout, Knight had a call from his men on the ground. "Speak," he sai

    Outside, at another location, Brian and Melissa were done with their passionate session in the car. Brian got behind the wheel and started the engine putting the car back into motion. Melissa adjusted her clothes and placed her underwear in her bag."I will call Janet and tell her I will see her tomorrow. I can't go there like this," Melissa said fixing her messy hair."Cool, let's go to my place then," Brian said and Melissa nodded. She was getting used to Brian's sex addiction life but she enjoyed his touch and hence didn't mind. On the way to Brian's apartment, Melissa's phone rang and she answered seeing who was calling."It is done, everything that belongs to Bryson now belongs to you," came the voice of a man and Melissa's lips curved into a wide smile."When can I pick the documents?" Melissa asked."If you are not too busy, you can pass by my office and pick them up," the man said."Sure, I am on my way," Melissa said and ended the call.She excitedly planted multiple kisses o

    "I am going to tell you a story. At the end of it, you will get to know who you are," Bryson said and led Dede to the couch.Dede sat down curious about what Bryson was going to tell her and how that would tell her who she was. She sat on the couch and Bryson sat down next to her. He held both of her hands in his and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. He rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumb. Dede just sat down curious about what all of this was about. She was happy Bryson was there with her and she was enjoying the attention he was giving her. "Some time back, a man approached me and sought my help in looking for a missing person," Bryson began, making sure he didn't give the story away until he was done. He wanted Dede to listen attentively to every detail he was going to share with her before he let her know, she was the one he was talking about. "This man lived a carefree life and had a lot of women. He was a playboy," Bryson continued and Dede just stared at h

    Back at Rebecca and Dave's location, Dave was done taking notes. "Thank you for being honest with me," Dave said closing his small notebook. "Concerning my husband, what will happen to my daughter?" Rebecca asked, fear of Melissa going to prison run through her. "If your husband lives, he will decide if he wants to press charges. If he dies, the law will take its full course," Dave replied. Inside the hospital, hours passed and they were still waiting for an update on James's condition. Dave and Rebecca strode in making the three turn to look at them. "Any news about your father?" Rebecca asked, taking a seat next to Melissa. "Nothing," Melissa replied. The door flew open and the doctor walked up to them. "We are done and everything was successful. We are moving him to the recovery ward. He is not awake yet. So you can come back tomorrow and he will be awake," the doctor said "Can I stay here with him?" Melissa asked. "You go home. You have enough on your plate alread

    Inside the hospital, the doctor came out of the emergency and five people walked towards him. The doctor frowned seeing the additional two men. "How is he?" Aiden asked. "He will live," the doctor began. "The results show, he was hit in the back of his head. The place that was hit caused him to bleed and we will have to remove the clot of blood if not it will create a health problem that could cost him his life. In simple English," he added. "Thank you, doctor," Dave acknowledged. "We prepare him for that but I will need one of you to fill out the form for the procedure," the doctor said and Rebecca owned up as his wife. The doctor left with her to have the form completed leaving Melissa and Brian with the lawyer and the officer. "Ms Melissa, right?" the officer said and fear flashed through Melissa's eyes as chills ran down her spine. "I understand you and your mother were the only ones with him when the supposed accident happened. Now listening to the doctor, how did he fall
