“So tell me Mr Gerald, why are you here?” Omar asked as he filled Gerald’s glass with wine, “I normally would not see you without an appointment but since I am free, I decided to see you”“And I am grateful for that” Gerald answered with a fake smile plastered across his face before turning to Amira, “but like she said, she will take care of this, right?”Amira could see right through his facade and she hated him even more, how could a man be so sly?“Of course Mr Gerald, I was the one who removed your name from the list of appointees”Omar was taken aback, she didn’t tell him something like this had happened.“I think you have a better explanation than that”“I replaced it with someone else who was bound to get the contract, i didn’t want you to waste your time coming here”“But….” His voice trailed off when the door pushed open and Clarrisa ventured into the room looking all angry and confused while Alex was threading behind her with his hands gracing his pant pockets.“You are bac

Gerald thought he could have a peaceful day to himself after being betrayed by his son in law to be but it was far from over.The next morning, after getting ready to leave for the airport his phone began to beep and he answered on seeing it was his son who was calling him so early.He knew Dylan would never call him if it was not something important and needed his attention.“Hello” his deep voice resonated in the room.“We have a problem dad” Dylan’s voice filled his ear, his voice was laced with panic and fear. Gerald immediately became alarmed, this was not going to be a good news from the way Dylan was talking.“What happened?”“More than 30 percent of the company shares were sold. I called a meeting early this morning to ask and none of them said anything, their claim was that they all signed a confidentiality agreement with the buyer and can’t say anything”Gerald was speechless for a while, he didn’t know what ti say. Not only did Alex steal from him, someone else was still s

The minute they got into their car, Clarissa countanance changed. The fact that Alex always had a thing against her father always bothered her. None of them was telling her anything and even Alex was acting more creepy than usual.“Are you okay?” Alex asked when he noticed the sour expression on her face, “you look upset”“I am okay” she immediately answered while looking out of the window. Like she said, Clarissa was trying to avoid anything that will cause a fight between her and Alex but it was too hard when we had a lot to ask him.“You sure don’t look okay babe, you can talk to me”“Really?” Clarrisa finally turned her attention to him, “can I really ask?”“Of course” his forehead creased into a frown, “why are you so upset?”“What was that about in the airport?” She hesitated for a while, “I don’t want it to look like I am always nagging and all that but I want to know if you really have something against my dad. You keep saying things like what you have with my dad is unimagina

The moment Clarrisa sauntered into the house, she was surprised to see her mum already at home and having her favorite afternoon tea while watching the stocks. It has been a few days since she left and Clarissa couldn’t lie, she missed her mum.“Hey mum” she perched on the space beside her and landed in her embrace.“Hey baby” Gwen enveloped her in a bear hug, “I have missed you baby”“You even tell me you are coming back today, I would have made some arrangements”Her mum chuckled a little, “so much for not being in the city, I just got back and I didn't even tell anyone. Not even your dad”“That’s…..” the words hung in her throat when her phone began to ring and seeing it was her brother, she immediately answered the call.“Hello”“We have a problem” Dylan’s voice filtered into her ears.“What happened?”“Dad said your flight arrived a while ago, if you are not too busy you can come to the office”Clarrisa sighed, she didn’t know if it was a good idea. She had promised Alex to stay

The door pushed open and Bruno sauntered into the room looking dashing in his white suit and well parked hair that was slicked back and a few documents gracing his hand while his mobile was in the other hand.Alex who was busy on his laptop looked up and his lips curled into a little smile.“You must hate me for doing this to you, Bruno” he spoke up and Bruno’s lips stretched into a thin line.“I can’t complain boss, the paycheck is massive and I love to look good” he lowered himself on the chair before dropping the documents in front of him,“Mr Andre will be here in a few minutes, the traffic is bad”“Very well then, let’s begin without him”After talking, Alex picked up a document and threw it open while Bruno did same. It was two days to his wedding and a lot was going on, he had a lot of work to finish before he could fully focus on his upcoming wedding.“Did you talk to the accountant?”“Yes boss” Bruno immediately replied, “the money has been deposited and the bank has confirme

“What?” Clarrisa could not believe her ears, “what did you just say?”“Mr Andre works for me, is that a bad thing?” Alex asked again, he knew the game he was trying to play exactly and Clarrisa was reacting the way he wanted her too.Risa scoffed, this had to be the joke of the century,“You are the famous boss behind Andre and the one who bought the shares?”“It was all me”“But why?” She suddenly yelled, “why do you keep doing creepy things Alex?” She was truly stunned. Not in her life did she ever think Alex would do something like this, she held him in a very high esteem and now….“He is a business man after all” Bianca chipped in from where she was seated and Clarrisa spared her an evil glance before fixating her attention back on Alex who had the most careless look on his face.“Can you say something and not have that smug look on your face?” Risa half yelled, “what exactly is going on here?“What does it look like, Risa? I am a businessman and I only do business that benefits m

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

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

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
