Gerald was still on his porch when Alex’s car drove into the driveway and the smirk on his lips disappeared. Not like he wanted to result in cheap tactics to blackmail his son in law but this was the only thing he could do at this point, maybe Alex was going to end up hating him but it was going to pass. The thought of Bianca walking freely wanted to kill him, he wanted to kill her and satisfy himself, avoiding future threats was one thing Gerald always took Into consideration.He watched as the young man walked up to the porch and that was when Gerald dropped his wine glasses and focused his attention on the man in front of him.“I really wasn’t expecting you to come” he snickered and gestured to the man towards a cane chair.“It’s very funny how you can think that you are free to do this with me, Gerald”The old man gave a little scoff and gulped the content of the glass,“You wanna marry my daughter or not?”“Do you even have the nerve to call the wedding off?” Alex blurted, “who d
“Hey, what the heck do you think you are doing?” He bellowed angrily as he went to stand in between the father and daughter duo.“Stay out of this, Alex” Gerald retorted.Clarrisa could not believe what happened, her father slapped her. 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
The moment Clarrisa entered the house, her father and Dylan were still having a heated argument and unable to control her emotions, she just made her way to her room. Being alone was the only thing she wanted at this point. Every single time, Alex always chose Bianca instead of her and it was annoying. 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. We should link up”Clarrisa’s eyes opened wide, “you are in town, Becky?”“Yes, we should meet up tomorrow okay?”“Su
After he got home, Alex went straight to the wine rack and poured himself a glass of whisky before going over to his balcony. The thoughts of his fight with Clarrisa was still lingering on his mind but he didn’t want to care, she was the one who felt insecure about things her father did and he was not even supposed to feel bad in the first place, she was not worth it.The sky was filled with so much stars and his lips unknowingly curled into a smile when he realized that his two sisters loved to seat on this same balcony to enjoy the night sky. How their chatters and giggles would filter into his ears but right now, he had no one by his side. 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
Gerald was still seated in his study going through some documents, after having a squabble with his kids he didn’t feel like doing anything in particular but ti thought of Bianca still walking the face of the earth annoyed him. Now he was no longer worried about Clarrisa or Dylan finding out but about that woman going to tell on him. 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
Clarrisa was surprised to see Alex in the shower with her, not in a million years would she ever think that Alex would do something like this. 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
“Good morning boss” Bruno greeted as Alex sauntered into the office, his white suit stood out impeccably on his body and the ladies around him couldn’t help but ogle at this creature, he was just like a fantasy.“Have everyone in the conference room by nine” Alex ordered as he sauntered into his own office, “until then don’t disturb me”“Yes boss”The moment Alex entered his office, he threw his laptop open and began to work. It was just a few days to his wedding and he needed to finish every necessary thing he needed before that day. It was not like he was looking forward to it but he had to be prepared at least, Alexander chase was a name that everyone in the country and beyond knew.An email popped up on his computer and he immediately went through it which made his lips curl into a smile. So this was what Gerald was planning? He was more of a scornful man than he thought.Picking up his intercom, he immediately put a call across to Bruno who came rushing into the office immediatel
The car immediately drove towards the alrafia tower immediately after Alex landed in the Arab Emirates. He didn’t want to waste a single second and luckily the road was not too crowded. His car came to a halt in front of the big conglomerate and he alighted alongside Bruno. The building was so big and the extravagance was top notch. 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. Not like those American kids that would not keep their belly in
