With a cup of coffee twirling in her hand, Bianca looked so uninterested in the cartoon her daughter was watching while her husband who just finished setting the table for dinner walked over to her and placed a kiss on her forehead before taking his seat beside her.Williams knew Bianca was very bubbly but seeing her so quiet, he figured something was wrong with her.“What’s up babe? Are you okay?” “Sure” Bianca replied in an uninterested tone, “I am fine”“You know you can share anything with me right?”“I had a quarrel with Alex” she finally dropped the bombshell and rolled her eyes.“Why though? This is the first time you have ever had a squabble with him, what happened?”“He was just being a jerk” Bianca retorted, “I don’t like jerks”Willams sighed and stood up, “I know you were wrong so you should apologize to him”“What?

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

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

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

“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.

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
