Alex went upstairs and knocked on Dede's door but she wouldn't open it. He checked the app on his phone and saw Dede sitting on the floor covered in a blanket. She was still crying. "Dede, open the door. We need to talk. I didn't do anything to you," Alex yelled while banging on the door. "Liar, go away," Dede yelled from inside. Her voice was laced with pain. "I swear to you. I didn't lay a finger on you," Alex said standing behind the door. "I thought we were friends. I thought you saw me like a sister. Why will you do that to me?" Dede cried from inside. "Dede, believe me. I didn't do anything to you. No one touched you," Alex said. "Don't take me for a fool, Alex. How did I get those bruises on my inner thigh? Explain that," Dede yelled angrily. "Don't forget it is my body and I know it better than you. How do you explain the soreness I feel inside my hoohaa," she said angrily. "I don't know. It is your body. You should know what is happening. One thing I can say is I did
Bryson sat in the car and Alex got behind the wheel. "Where are we going now, boss?" Alex asked and Bryson gave him a location.It was a food joint inside the town. Alex wondered why they were going to a food joint. Since he started working for Bryson, he didn't know him as one who eats out. Once in a while, he would eat in his restaurant but the food joints were a no-go area. Alex put the car in motion. Bryson went to his SMS box and sent a message. After he made a call. "You got it," he said. "Good," he said and ended the call."Step on it," Bryson's voice laced with anger travelled to the front seat. "Yes, boss," Alex replied and stepped on the accelerator. After a 45-minute drive, the black Maybach pulled over in front of a food joint. Alex wondered what they were doing there but before he could ask what Bryson would have him do there, Bryson got out of the car. Alex quickly got down too. "Stay here," Bryson said and took long strides into the space in a neighbourhood that lo
She thought Bryson was going to get mad at her and cut her off because of those videos. He hugged her rubbing her back gently. "How did you know they were lies? I saw those videos and I have no memory of when and how it happened. I don't know those men and I don't even recall being in such a room. Why I didn't fight them as I would normally do if I found myself in such a situation, I don't know," Dede complained as she pulled away from the hug and Bryson smiled. "When you take the pain to know someone, it is easier to detect lies from truth," Bryson replied and pulled her back into his arms. Meanwhile, outside in the living room, Alex was feeling very uncomfortable. Bryson and Dede had kept long in the office and he was not sure what they were talking about as he could not hear a thing. It was like they were whispering to themselves. He had convinced himself Dede would commit her since she had seen the videos and hence would not mention him, but if she mentions him in her narration
"Get the car ready," Bryson said to Alex, who nodded exiting the living room. Bryson held Dede's hand in his and they both exited the living room. He pressed for the elevator and waited, knowing it was going down to the garage first. "Dede, I want you close so I can protect you and also I want to prevent anyone from separating us," he said and Dede wondered where he was going with that. "Would you be mine?" he asked and Dede looked at him surprised. "As in marry you?" Dede asked for clarification. "Yes," Bryson replied and Dede recalled he had asked her this question before and he told her to take all the time she needed to think about it but she shouldn't break his heart. This man had done nothing but be good to her. She likes him too but Melissa and Bryson's mother. "Just say yes and trust me," Bryson said and Dede nodded. "Good," Bryson said and kissed her lips. The elevator doorbell rang interrupting the moment. They both entered and went to the garage. They sat in the car

I will be gentle," Bryson said and sat on the bed dropping the walking aid on the side. "You know you do not have to put pressure on your ankle," Dede said feeling shy, trying for a distraction rather than the obvious about to happen with her husband."The walking aid is temporary. I will be dropping it in a couple of weeks," he said, knowing she was just shy. He held the side of her face. Dede blinked and she became nervous. Bryson unbraided her hair and allowed it to free-flow down her back. "You have a pretty long hair for a Ghanaian," Bryson praised running his fingers through her hair. He kissed her shoulder and could hear Dede's heart pounding in her chest even though she sat down calmly on the edge of the bed. "Calm down," Bryson said and unbuttoned her shirt. Dede closed her eyes and felt the shirt falling off her shoulder and next was Bryson's warm lips
In the morning, Bryson opened his eyes and smiled seeing Dede in his arms. Her head was resting on the pillow and her face was close to his chest. Her hair was spread on the pillow. Bryson stared at her sleeping face and pushed the strand of her from her face. She moved slightly when his finger touched her face. "You are so beautiful," Bryson whispered and kissed her forehead. Dede opened her eyes to find Bryson supporting his head with his hand and staring down at her on the bed. "Good morning my love," he greeted and Dede smiled shyly recalling their night together. "How are you doing?" he asked."I am fine," she replied shyly. He lowered his head and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. His hand travelled to her back and drew her closer to himself. Dede responded to his kiss with her hand resting on his chest. "I love you," Bryson said after pulling away from the kiss. "I love you too," Dede replied with a smile."Would you like to take a shower with me?" Bryson asked and
They both shifted their gaze to the phone and Dede's heart skipped a beat. She quickly tensed up in Bryson's arms, seeing Melissa's name flash on Bryson's phone which was lying on the bedside table behind Bryson. "I won't let her bother you. You are my wife now," Bryson said and Dede nodded. She moved away from Bryson to finish dressing up. Bryson answered the call and put it on speaker. "What do you want?" Bryson asked coldly. "Has it gotten to that? Is that how you greet your wife-to-be?" Melissa said, her voice travelling to Dede's ears but she remained calm and she put on the earrings Bryson asked her to put on. "Look, Melissa, I don't have time for your tantrums. Say whatever it is you want to say or get off my line," Bryson said sternly. "Where are you?" Melissa asked. "I am going to work. Any problem?" Bryson replied. "You didn't come home last night and I was worried about you. Who is taking care of you? Helping you with your bath and all," Melissa said sounding very c
Dede froze in her steps staring at the scene before her. Bryson was standing in the empty hallway with his body facing the direction of his office. He had his walking aid in his left hand and with his right, he was holding Melissa's neck almost lifting her off the ground. The look on his face was very terrifying. Dede saw Melissa struggling helplessly against Bryson's hold on her neck as the veins on her face started becoming visible. "Bryson, I can't breathe," Melissa struggled to say but her voice came out in a whisper accompanied by a wheezing sound. With both hands, Melissa tried to get Bryson's hand off her neck but she couldn't. Bryson stared at her with a terrifying dangerous look in his eyes. If looks could kill, Melissa would have been dead. Bryson's gaze shifted to Dede who was standing in front of her closed office door staring at them, and the fear registered all over Dede's body made Bryson release Melissa from his grip. She collapsed to the floor coughing violently as
