For the first time in her life, her father touched her.“That was not necessary dad” Dylan chipped in.“Oh please” the old man retorted again, “don’t act like you have my interest at heart Alex” Gerald added.“Oh so now I am the problem?” Alex retorted.“Can we all just calm down?” It was Dylan who spoke, “this is not supposed to be like this and…..”“Dylan” his sister finally spoke up after being flustered for a while, “don’t you think dad has some explaining to do?” She further added, “ he has to say something after slapping me right?”Gerald scoffed and slumped on the sofa, he was tongue tied at this point. How was he supposed to tell his children that he wanted to make sure Bianca was no longer on the face of the earth? How could he tell that he wa

Yes her father hurt Bianca but was this the way Alex was supposed to go about it?A lot was going on in her mind as Clarissa slumped on her bed and closed her eyes. She didn’t know for how long she laid on the bed but the moment her phone began to ring, she sat up and her eyes lit up when she saw the caller ID.“Hey girl” her lips curled into a smile as she placed the phone against her ears, “see who decided to call me today”“Oh common” the voice from the other end replied, “you know I have been busy Risa, i just got a few days off and I flew into New York this morning.

All the people around him was by his side because of Alex and by the time he was done, they were no longer going to be my his side and that’s the biggest reality of all.His thoughts were interrupted when the phone inside his pocket began to buzz and he picked it up without bothering to look at the caller ID.“Hello”“Boss” Bruno’s voice filtered

The fact that she has not said anything for the past weeks made it even more disturbing, she was planning something and he was sure of it.“Dad” someone called from the door and he turned to see Dylan by the door.“I thought you were already asleep, come on in” Gerald beckoned and his son made his way into the room before lowering himself on one of the chairs.“Why are you still awake though?” Gerald asked again.“Nothing” Dylan responded as his eyes traveled to the wall clock, “I don’t think Risa may come home tonight”“Are you here about her or because you are still not clear on what we discussed?” Gerald inquired, he knew his kids more than they could

It was overwhelming for her and the look on her face said it all.“Alex?” She wanted to be sure he was the one, she wanted to make sure he was in the right state of mind or something because this was bizarre yet intriguing “Shocked?” He asked with a sly smile on his face, “why do you look like you just saw a ghost?”“I…I….” Her voice trailed off when he snaked his hand around her naked body.“I just want to have a shower with you, what’s wrong with that?” This time, his finger was trailing the outline of her body and Clarrisa was loving the feeling of it, the way he gently touched her body made her heart leap for joy the most.Without saying anything, Alex yanked her closer and captured her lips while his hands worked magic on her body, the way she reacted in his embrace made the smile on his lips intensify.The kiss was slow and intense at fi

People were going in and out of the building and no one seemed to have noticed them. This was the biggest automobile conglomerate in the whole of the Arab Emirates and securing a partnership with the owner was one big of a deal, even Gerald would not want to miss it.“This place is really beautiful” Bruno snickered and alex shot him a deadly glance before making his way to the reception.“Good morning” he greeted the receptionist who returned his greeting with a smile.“Welcome to Alrafia sir, how may we help you?” her thick accent hung in the air but at least she was polite and well dressed.

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

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.

“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

“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

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

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
