She had a bright smile on her face and Jayden returned the smile when his eyes caught the gift box she was with.It was Christmas Eve by the way and it was a tradition in the house to exchange gifts on such days. His dad and his two elder sisters already gave him their first own gifts and his mum was bringing hers now. He in return made cards for them which they willingly accepted.Jayden had always been a social nerd and he didn’t even know how to mingle with people. His parents were freaking rich but that didn’t stop him from being an introverted nerd.“Won’t you even come down for dinner?” His mum asked as she perched on the bed beside him, “everyone is downstairs and you are here” her voice was filled with a lot of love and concern towards her last child and her only son, she loved him with all of her being and in return Jayden loved all of th

Alexander Chase opened his eyes to the sound of his alarm ringing but he was feeling funny.First of all he studied the room and his face creased into a frown, how did he get here? This room didn’t even look like his room at all.He was still in his reverie when his door flung open and a man walked inside the room. He was in his late fifties and he looked dignified.“You have a meeting with the new investors sir”“Sir?” The man on the bed cringed, how did he become sir? Was this man mistaken or what?“Why are you calling me sir?” Alex asked and the man in front of him creased his face into a frown but quickly masked it up with a fake smile.“I understand you are trying to be hilarious sir but it doesn’t suit you, the maids have gotten your clothes ready. I will have it delivered”After talking, he turned on his heel and left the room.Alexander Chase was a man who commanded respect anywhere he went, one of the country's richest and most influential men but right now he was behaving like

Gerald was having his usual evening tea when his daughter sauntered into the house looking dejected, the moment he saw her angry face he immediately dropped his tea. His family was one thing he never played with, he loved his daughter and his wife so much and was ready to give them the word, even his son was not left out. Everything he did was for them.“What happened princess?” He asked after she came to sit beside him, “why do you look so upset”Clarrisa sighed as she placed her head on his shoulder, “apparently Alex doesn’t remember anything about us dad, he has been behaving weird, I even tried making his favorite dish but he says he doesn’t like any of the dishes I made” she had a pout on her lips while talking, “I feel like I am going crazy dad”Gerald gave her a little smile, “you know how Alex is my darling” his voice was authoritative, “this is not a different Alex from the Alex we know. Remember he didn’t even want you coming near him at the beginning, you shouldn’t be both

“What did you say?” He asked to be sure, the man who killed his family was his father in law to be? Was this a joke or something?Aiden raked his hand through his hair, this was the longest time he had spent with Alex. The man was always busy with work and never smiled, now he was like his personal assistant telling him everything he wanted to know. He felt like he was going crazy.“Are you sure you didn’t take a drug or something? How the hell don’t you remember anything?”“Is Gerald my father in law to be?” Alex questioned again, deep within his mind he was hoping that it was a lie. How would he face him? The man that massacred his own family and him inclusive ten years ago.“Yes Alex, he is”Alex was stunned, he didn’t know what to say or how to feel. Was fate trying to play a fast one on him? How did everything become like this? How did Gerald become this close to him?“Are you sure?”“I was at your engagement man” Aiden answered, he felt like giving Alex a kick to the groin and h

“Good evening sir” one of his helpers greeted as Alex walked into the house.“Make me some coffee” Alex answered immediately and her face went haywire. Alex had told them he didn’t like coffee just yesterday right? Why did he suddenly want coffee?“Why do you look so stunned?” He asked when he noticed the look on her face, “did I say something not worth understanding?”“Not exactly sir” she quickly bowed, “I will make the coffee”Just as she saw going into the kitchen, Esmeralda was coming down the stairs. Shs had a few bedsheets with her and her face ceased into a smile.“You are finally home, do you still feel sick?” She questioned, her voice was laced with a lot of concern.“I feel better, i will be in my room”After talking he made his way upstairs and went straight into the shower while a certain thought was lingering in his mind.Alexander Chase was a no nonsense man and he single handedly made a name for himself, he didn’t have any friends but he had someone though. The person

After he was sure that he was fine, Alex turned off the shower and walked out of the shower, his whole body was soaked and Clarrisa almost screamed when she saw him.“Do you want to get sick?” She immediately grabbed a towel and began to clean his body.Alex cringed at her touch and collected the towel from her. His unusual long hair was dripping wet and it made him look all alluring.“What were you even thinking?” She fumed.“Are you ready to play the game?” Alex asked after a while.Clarrisa sighed and walked into his closet to get him a fresh set of home clothes.“Here” she shoved him into his hand, “change and we will talk”After changing Alex came back into the room and Clarissa was searching through his laptop, his countenance changed and he immediately snatched it away from her.“Stop going through my things” Clarrisa rolled her eyes and sprawled herself on the bed,“What do you want to use my father’s account for?”“I told you Clarrisa, a wedding present”Her forehead creased

The ding dong of the door made one of the workers to open the door and a certain woman walked into the living room with a smile on her face.“Hey” Esmeralda who was coming down the stairs saw her, “you didn’t tell me you were coming”“No aunt” she hugged the lady, “Alex made me come over this early”“Ughhh” Esmeralda shook her head, “he is still sleeping”“I will just check up on him” Bianca responded before making her way upstairs.The moment she threw the door open, Alex who was sleeping opened his eyes and he was struggling to understand who was standing by his bed.“Hello” Bianca rolled her eyes, “are you going to keep staring at me like that like I am some alien from another planet?” She rolled her eyes and folded her hands across her chest.This was when it dawned on Alex that it was Bianca talking and he immediately sat up. Shs was much more different than the person he imagined. She was a bit tall and had curly hair, a mixed breed and she had a calm demeanor around her.“Bianca

“First off” Bianca began, “Alex loves his coffee”“Yeah I know that” he answered, “I hate coffee but I will have to adapt to that lifestyle because of him” he almost rolled his eyes.“Good and Alex is color blind”“What?” He almost shut out of bed, “they didn’t mention it on the blogs”Bianca had to laugh at his nativity, “because only two persons know and that is me and Clarrisa. Alex was involved in an accident when he was fifteen, he lost his parents and due to the over flow of blood that day, his brain used that as a defense mechanism for him and up till now he can’t identify color aside white and black” Bianca paused for a while and continued again, “he wears contact lenses though that helps him with that, i mean have you checked everything connected to him? It doesn’t have any other color aside black and white”Then it dawned on him, shs was right. Everything in his room was either black or white and even the decors of the house down to his offices and cars. Wow!!!“See, first th

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
