This was the only property that belonged to his family that he knew off and this was where he was going to live now. Overall, the night was a success.After the last guest was gone, he was left with his fiancée and her family and that was when the instincts of his revenge came back. The fact that Gerald was still seated in the room comfortably made him want to puke.“Congratulations brother in law” Dylan walked up to him.“Thanks man” he plastered a fake smile on his lips.“I really want to see how you will turn this into a major profit Alex” Gerald said from where he sat down which made Alex ball his hand into a fist. Was this old man kidding him right now? Did he think everyone wa

Finally she was going to be Alex’s wife and that too for life, this was a dream come through and no one was allowed to meddle in her dreams.The soft knock on the door made her jolt out of her reverie and that was when her mother pushed the door open and entered.“Hey mum” Clarrisa sat up on the bed and crossed her legs against her chest, “I thought you were already asleep given the time and that’s why I didn’t come to meet you”Gwen’s lips curled into a smile and she perched on the space near the bed, the news of her daughter’s wedding was everywhere and she was one hell of a proud mother.“You are glowing, risa” her hand was caressing her face gently.The girl gave an awkward smile, “stop it mum, it was just announced today and I am already glowing?”“Of course darling” her mother tucked

“Oh Bianca” Alex moved away from Esmeralda and walked over to the lady who just entered.“You don’t listen do you?” Alex reprimanded as he helped her into the house, “what if Gerald had his men on your trail?” He fumed further, “can’t you try to be a little careful?”Esmeralda who didn’t understand a word they were saying creased her forehead into a frown, what has anything got to do with Gerald?“Is there something I don’t know?” She asked and Bianca turned her attention to Alex.“Is there something aunt meralda no nothing of?” She raised an eyebrow, “I mean you are spitting so much nonsense that even I can’t comprehend”Alex seemed to understand the sarcasm in her voice and he immediately understood what she was trying to do, he was too overwhelmed and he forgot that Esmeralda was not supposed to know who he was.“It’s nothing, meralda, I think you should get going now. I will be back tomorrow okay?”“But…” her voice trailed off when he cut her short with a smile.“Don’t worry about

Aiden who just closed from work and he was about to get into his car when his phone began to ring and it was an unknown number, sighing he pressed the receive button and put the phone near his ears.“Hello”“Doctor Aiden” came Clarrisa’s voice from the other end.“Who is this? I don’t think I have this contact” Aiden was not sure who was on the line.“Pardon my manners doctor, I stole your contact from my fiancé and i just wanted to ask you something”“Clarrisa?” He was not sure.“Actually, sorry to call so late but i just wanted to ask you something”The man leaned on his car while placing his phone on the other ear,“Tell me”“Is Alex still taking his medications?”“What do you mean, ma’am?”“Ummm” Clarrisa paused, she didn’t want to sound like she was prying into Alex’s private life but she really wanted to know. She wanted to be sure If the love he was showing towards her was genuine.“ The thing is, my fiancé has been behaving weird like he is being extra loving and sensitive tow

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? Bianca could not believe her ears, “are you taking his side right now?” She scoffed and also stood up, “for your information he was the person who was wrong a

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

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
