Clarrisa smiled in content when the gown was finally zipped up. This was the same gown she saw with Alex and she wanted to buy it.It complimented her figure and she looked so pretty which wasn’t a lie.“You look amazing,” one of the ladies who helped her wear the clothes said and she couldn’t help but blush.“Do I look good?” She asked Bianca who rolled her eyes.“Don’t kid yourself bitch, we aren’t friends” this was what Bianca replied before picking up her phone, she felt disgusted being in her presence like that.“You look absolutely gorgeous ma’am” one of the sales girls said again and Clarrisa couldn’t help but blush.“I should take a picture and send it to my fiancé” she was so excited but the sales lady declined immediately.“It is bad luck for the groom to see the dress before the wedding day”Just as Clarrisa opened her mouth to talk, her eyes narrowed and she saw her husband onq television.“Alex?” She muttered under her breath to be sure, he didn’t tell her he had a press

Clarrisa’s eyes opened wide when she saw the sight in front of her, she was definitely not expecting to see them in a situation like this and her heart broke into a thousand pieces.“What the hell is going on here” she asked as she stepped into the room.The two of them disengaged and Bianca didn’t have a remorseful look on her face at all neither did Alex, if only she noticed the mocking look on them.“I will talk to you later” Bianca said after a while and made to move but Clarrisa blocked her part.“Where the hell do you think you are going?” She was definitely angry and Alex could feel her aura right from where he was standing.“Get out of my way” Bianca threatened.“What the fuck is going on here” Clarrisa yelled out as she turned to Alex, her eyes were misty.“It was just a harmless hug” Alex finally spoke up and she scoffed.“A harmless huh?” Clarrisa threw her hands in the air helplessly, “I come and I see my fiancée in the arms of another woman and you call it a harmless hug

Alex shot out of bed, beads of sweats were forming on his body while he was fidgeting. His whole body was screaming of aches and at that moment he felt like he was about to die.The nightmare that has been haunting him for several days now was getting much more tortuous than he thought.Picking up his phone, he saw that he had several missed calls from Clarrisa and a lot of text messages.Ignoring it, he dialed a certain number and the person from the other side answered on the first ring.“Hello” Aiden’s sleepy voice filtered into his ears, it was past three in the morning and obviously the young doctor would be sleeping.“I can’t sleep and I keep having nightmares” Alex said, he knew Aiden was not a therapist but he was still a doctor.Aiden sighed, “for how long?”“Two weeks”“And you are just telling me now?” He sighed again, “I will send some medications for you tomorrow, for now you can listen to some slow songs, it will help you sleep”“Sure”After he ended the call, Alex laid

After he ended the call, Alex climbed out of the car and briskly made his way into the house. He wanted to see what was inside that box, maybe he could find a clue.Elias was already standing by the gate when he entered and they both shook hands before he led him into the basement.“I will leave you to it then”Alex nodded and watched the man walk out of the room while he turned his attention to the room.He could remember how many times he would come to hide here when he didn’t want to watch movies or eat with his family members but now none of them was here. Bending down he tore one of the boxes open and began to look through it. There was nothing important in that first one, only items that were no longer needed for the house and his mum kept aside.Alex went ahead to the second and the last box, he was hoping he would see something which he actually did. After searching for a while, Alex came across a brown envelope which caught his attention.The envelope was not sealed but he c

Alex didn’t know for how long they both stood in that position but when they disengaged, he saw there were tears in her eyes too and a look of concern graced her face.“Why are you crying?” “You have never shown me how much you miss your family Alex” her hand slowly made its way to his face and she cleaned the tears that were still flowing, “you were always this strong man and i didn’t know you were hurting so bad. I am so sorry Alex”He wanted to yell and tell her her father was the cause of this pain and everything but he could not do that and it was the most frustrating feeling for him. He wanted to hold Gerald by the neck and strangle the life out of him but could he even do that now? He had to tread cautiously.“I am fine okay?” He cupped her face, “you don’t have to be sorry for what is not your fault okay?”“Is there a way I can help you?”“Can you kill your dad for me?” He wanted to ask but instead he smiled and tucked a few strands of hair to the back of her ear, “you don’t

Clarissa woke up to the ringing of her phone which made her frown. Why was her assistant calling her all of a sudden and how many calls did she miss?“Hello” she pressed the phone against her ears.“Ma’am, have you already seen it?”Clarrisa raised an eyebrow, “see what?”Her assistant hesitated for a while, “a video is circulating online about you and ….” Her voice trailed off.“What happened, Ann?” Clarrisa was almost shouting.Just then her door burst open and her whole family entered. They all looked sad and scared, especially her mum who came to sit beside her.“What is going on?” She asked, “why do you all look so worried?”“I am sorry princess” Gerald said after a while, a look of guilt was hovering over his face.Now Clarrisa was very confused, “can someone tell me what’s going on?” She turned to her mother, “mum, say something”Her phone beeped with a message and she immediately picked up her phone and clicked on the link that her assistant had sent.From the beginning of the

A sea of reporters continued to click on their camera shutters when Alex walked into the arena. He looked so smart and superb in his grey suit while his hair was slicked back in an alluring manner. This was the almighty Alexander chase and this was the press conference he was able to organize in just half an hour. Money and opulence was sure a good thing to possess.Alex cleared his throat and moved towards the podium, once he was done he bent himself towards the microphone and he began to talk,“Sorry for the impromptu meeting, this was organized as soon as the news of what my fiancé did got to me” Alex paused did a while, he was observing the sea of reporters in front of him and his lips curled into a sly smile, this was sure to be on hell of a press conference.“I would have naturally let my PR department handle this themselves but this involves my fiancé and I can not just fold my hands and let the public criticize her. She is here today to say what she has and I hope you all will

Gerald sat glued to his screen, he had an expressionless look on his face while his wife beside him and she had tears In her eyes.The way Clarrisa was suffering was something two of them were unwilling to accept, seeing the tears in Clarrisa’s eyes was unbearable for them. She was the baby of the house by the way.“You should do something, Gerald” his wife advised, “our baby girl is suffering so much”“Don’t worry,” Gerald answered. “I will take care of things”Sooner than later, Clarrisa’s car zoomed into the compound and Dylan was on the porch, he seems to be waiting for her.“Risa”“Not now, Dylan”After talking, she made her way into the house and went straight to where her father was seated.“I will take care of it” she mimicked him and angrily threw her bag to the floor, “this is what you took care of, dad?”“Calm down baby” her mother tried to cajole her but she would hear nothing of it.“After so many years dad, I still have to relive this stigma again. Do you know how humili

Clarrisa’s eyes opened wide in surprise, she thought Alex and here he was, she didn’t even know what to say or do. The emotions were overwhelming for her and she just kept smiling, it was the only thing she could do at the moment.“I will give you two love birds some alone time” after talking, Esperanza kissed Risa gently on her head and patted Alexander’s back before walking out of the room leaving the two of them.“You thought I had left?” Alex asked when he set cake on the bedside table.“I woke up and didn’t see you” she shrugged, “that was the first thing that came to my mind, I don’t……..” her voice trailed off when he pulled her closer and snaked his hand around her waist.“I am sorry I left last night, okay? I just had something to take care of and it couldn’t wait but for the whole weekend I am yours okay?”“For real?” Her expression was priceless, “like are you being serious?”“Of course baby, you should get dressed okay?”“Why?” Her forehead creased into a slight frown, “are

It was already past midnight when Alex sauntered into the house, Clarrisa was still awake and the moment she heard the door open, she immediately sat up.“You are still awake?” Alex asked while removing his shirt, “it is so late and you haven’t gone to bed”“Where did you go, Alex?” Clarrisa purposely ignored his question, “tonight is supposed to be our wedding night but you left me, why? What exactly was so important that you had to leave just a few hours after our wedding?”“I told you it was something important” he hissed, “don’t you get it?” Alex was struggling to contain his anger, he didn’t want to make it look like she was irritating but her questions were annoying.Clarrisa dragged her body out of bed and made her way to where he was standing and encircled his waist.“I know you have a lot of business going on and I am not trying to stop you, I just thought it would be appropriate for us to spend the day together. We got married today and we have not even had the time to ce

“How are you related to Baxter, Alex?” Gerald had to ask, “you have been mentioning my friend for a while now, I am not sure if I quite understand you at this point. Do you have something on me?”With a smirk hovering across his lips, Alexander walked back to the chair and lowered himself on it,“What do you think Gerald! I may be someone related to him. I may be someone who knows all of your evil deeds, wanna try me?”Gerald’s mind wandered off, he was trying to remember if Baxter had any son that was somewhere. The Baxter he knew didn’t have any other family members aside from the ones he massacred years ago and now….“Look Gerald” he leaned forward, “I don’t want to hurt your precious daughter so you will do as I say”Gerald balled his hand into a fist as the look in his eyes intensified, he felt like strangulating Alex with his bare hands.“Fine” he finally answered, “I will let them go but on one condition”Alex’s forehead creased into a frown, “for a man who’s daughters life is

It was already past ten when the black Bentley made a stop in front of the house and the newly wedded couple alighted. The smile on Clarissa’s face continued to widen as she saw how decorated the house was and how all his workers from the old house decided to welcome her with flowers and gifts. It was a sweet gesture and she couldn’t help but enjoy it, even Alex had a huge smile on his face.“Congratulations on your wedding” some of them began to say.“Congratulations on your wedding” Esperanza walked up to them and pulled Clarrisa into her embrace, “I am so happy for you, my princess”“Thank you so much aunt” the now married Clarrisa answered with an excited glee on her face“Why don’t we go in?” Alex suggested as he threw his hand over her shoulder and Clarrisa couldn’t help but blush, “you have been in those heels for hours now, your leg must hurt a lot”Before she could even answer him, Alex picked her up princess style and made his way into the house which made her blush even har

“Why do you look so restless, babe?” Clarrisa asked when she saw the expressionless look on his face, “are you okay?”“I am fine” Alex answered as she stood up, “I will make a call and come back” with that he sauntered out of the reception hall and made his way towards the garage while greeting some people on the way.The phone kept ringing and ringing but no one was answering which was already making Alex all hyper. He wasn’t aware of when Gerald left the reception venue and now Bianca nor Aiden was not answering their call. The phone in his hand began to ring again and Alex quickly pressed the receive button before pressing the phone against his ears.“Hey, you haven’t been picking my calls. What happened?” His voice was laced with a lot of concern, “are you okay?”“So you are the brain behind this?” A familiar voice filtered through his ear and Alex froze, he understood that voice perfectly and he knew who it belonged to.“Gerald?” Alex allowed the name to roll out of his lips, “w

With a huge smile on her face, Clarissa turned in front of the mirror for the umpteenth time. The white gown looked so marvelous on her body, even her mum could not hold back her tears.“You look so beautiful, my dear” Mrs Gwendolyn couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t know I was going to see you get married, risa”“This is the happiest day of my life mum, “you don’t have to cry, okay?”The old woman gently pulled Clarrisa into her arms,“I am so proud of you, my love”The door gently pushed open and Dylan entered looking handsome and alluring In his black tailored suit. The moment his eyes met his sister’s, his jaw dropped.“Who the hell is this?” He lips curled into a smile, “you look so good risa”“Are you sure?” she was suddenly feeling nervous.“You are the most beautiful woman on earth today sis” Dylan added with a smile as her lips curled into a smile.“I am actually very nervous,” Clarissa muttered under her breath as she turned to the mirror again, a smile still lingering on her

Aiden was already on his porch when Alex’s car drove into the driveway and in no time, he was already seated with Aiden who had a glass of whisky ready for him.“You came so fast”“You actually saved me from the clutches of Clarrisa. I was already losing my mind actually being there”“You know” Aiden gulped a mouthful of whiskey, “for a man who is hell bent on revenge, I wonder how you manage to pull this pretense off. Like how do you pretend around Clarrisa and her family? You are a bad man”His outburst made Alex to chuckle lightly, if only Aiden knew what and what he had planned to do with Gerald and his family.“Well, that’s by the way” he got serious, “what way did you come up with?”“Yes” Aiden leaned forward, “rather than going into Gerald’s house during the wedding when most of his security guards will be patrolling the place. I suggest you have your reception in his compound. That will make everyone less attentive to the fact that someone is trying to break into the house and

Her phone beeped with a message and Clarrisa picked it up and it was a message from Alex asking her out to dinner.Rolling her eyes, she flung the phone on the bed and continued looking at the documents she was reading. Alex made her so pissed this time around and just a mere dinner was not going to suffice.Her phone continued to beep and she had no option than to answer the call and press the phone against her ear.“Hello”“Are you ignoring my calls?” Alexander’s flirty voice filtered through her ear.“Why did you call Alex?” Clarrisa asked, “I am very busy”“You sound mad”“Did you call me to tell me that?” She rolled her eyes to the back of her head, “I am not in the mood for your sweet talks…” her voice trailed off when her door creaked open and a familiar figure entered, having an expressionless smile on his face.“You actually don’t want to see me?” Alex asked from the door as he removed the phone from his ear.Clarrisa was stunned, she actually didn’t expect Alex to show up at

After leaving her father, Clarissa made her way to her mother’s room and was not suprised to see her checking out her wedding dress alongside her brother who had the happiest look on his face.“You are here already”Dylan called out to her, “we were waiting for you, your dress arrived”“Can I speak to you alone?” Clarissa asked her brother before turning to her mum, “it’s just for a few minutes mum”“Of course” she replied, “I will just put the finishing touches to this”“Okay”After that, she grabbed his hand and led him out of the room until they were both on the porch.As soon as they were both on the porch, the look on her face changed and tears welled up in her eyes.“Hey” Dylan held onto her hand gently. “What happened?”“I don’t know what to say, Dylan” her voice was quivering, “I am getting married in a few days and I don’t know if I am making the right decision, with every passing day, I feel like I am making a wrong decision”“Why?” His voice was laced with a lot of concern
