The letter she read had warning on him that he would die if he doesn't fulfill her demands, afterall, her parents were the most affluent of them all.She didn't care if he was going to get married to Sophia, all that matters is that he was always there for her.He would say that letter was more like a threat from her mother and it was concerning the way he treats her.Presently, she was going to be living with him, how would he handle that? It was so tiresome but he had to believe in himself that he could handle her.Whose parent would let their daughter stay in such a man's house? Really, some wealthy parents could be something else. Just for buisness, they could sell their children off.Of course with the way her expression and tone was, she got him more scared. It seems all his life was going to be crown with fears because he wasn't one who could muster courage just yet.Luckily for him, he slept soundly because of Natalie who had saved the day for him against those unwanted visito
An act of self defense they would say, but will society accept it that way? It was certain he would be looked upon as a murderer.He shivered where he laid but then felt a warm hand on his head, a second hand patting him on the back as though not to worry.Alex was confused about the reaction he was feeling, over who this person could be. It was obvious he had a nightmare with the way he writhe, shivered and cried.But all of a sudden, a warm hand made him relax! He gradually opened his eyes to take a look at who it was and surprisedly, it was Natalie, faking a smile.He shuddered and hauled her hands away from him because he was feeling unease around her. What was she doing over there this early?Wow! How was she going to explain her side of the story on how she got here? Wasn't she meant to be away gathering the mobs?Her fake smile made him stun that he jerk from the stretcher and sighed. She shoved her hands away, gnashed her teeth and said;"I thought you were awake,...I well cam
"News?" Alex beckoned with a terrified gaze at her. What news couldn't wait until sunset?"Yes, Lucian had solved everything sir" she declared pushing herself with the chair metres away from him."That's great news, I see why you couldn't wait" he declared with a sad face. He didn't show any sign of excitement as he still felt goosebumps, seeing her around."Where's Lucian? He's meant to be here too" Alex added not wanting to ask her why those hands of hers were on him earlier."Work sir, he still has to explain to the executives that you're unwell and won't be attending any conference call" she explained broading a smile and gulping.She was praying hard for him to just say; "you may leave" however, that prayer wasn't answered as he made her run errands.What the hell? This was more like punishment, as she was made to get him meals which he dislikes once a minute passes.The grocery shop was a long way down and how does he expect her to be quick as a flash?Never had she walked that
The stroking sound of a wood could be heard coming from a warehouse, inside was a man covered with injuries as he was almost stroke to death by a plank.They were two men stroking him and they had to stop on their boss's command."You failed to kill him again, remember, I said when the news goes wild, you end Ethan""It...feel...like... he's surrounded by luck...I shot him thrice at the same... spot" he stressed while coughing out blood.His boss rose up from where he sat and scoff, his gaze rested on the bruised man."You know what happens when someone fails a mission right?" The boss whispered and the man quavered while begging for mercy.He explains that the chaffeur and his personal assistant was around or else he would have died."Then you would have just shot them also" he barked and the wounded man cried begging for a chance."Too late, it's time to pay for your crimes anyway, I'm doing you a favor" he mocked, and then beckoned on one of the men to hand him over a gun.Before t
A gasp escape her lips as she realizes she was naked and on top of the man she despises! Her weight on his made him fall to the ground.It was a close corner and quite an isolated place and so passerbys could barely be seen. His arms mistakenly went round her waist and she widened her eyes at him.Fortunately for her, Alex had his eyes closed and she quickly stood up and tied back her towel before anyone sees her nudity.She felt so embarrassed that she hurried back to her room not minding if Alex was still on the ground.He felt she had left him and jerked up immediately with an astonished look. Oh no, he just felt a naked woman on him and it made him feel awkward.Alex was glue to where he sat, still outside her door, that he didn't realize a lady booting him on the thigh to get up because he was in a path way.His eyes rolled at who it could be, it was a middle aged woman who desired to get into Natalie's house also."Young man, did she ditch you again?" The old woman asked bluntly
"I'm sorry boss" the thug pleaded and Lucian had to hold Alex just not to end up killing this man.He wished he had done that to his stepfather, whenever he raises his hands against his mother.Defending his mother led to crisis in the house, as he was referred to as a vagabond who disrespect elders conversation.Everyone thinks those two had the perfect relationship, but that was false. Just the way that man beats him up at times, his mother also falls victims to that.His ears usually hears her wince in their room, and he never got access into the room to fight for his mother because the door was shut behind.For his sisters, they could neither do anything, and tells him to give up trying to be a hero; because he wasn't an adult who could meddle into couples disagreements.Their statements made him wished to become an adult quickly, just to be entitled to so many things he couldn't get, or do while being a teenager.Alex couldn't believe his stepfather who was a human right activist
Natalie sucked her breath and wrapped her arms around him. Certainly, she felt she needed an embrace too.Back there, she thought she would be dead by now, if Alex had found out that she still had it.However, that slap her aunt got, somewhat saved the day as it made her boss cause a commotion, and the men he sent to check the rooftop failed.She could feel his tears sinking through her shirt. It made her really sad, and she couldn't help but stroke him gently, on the shoulder.Most times, everyone needed someone they could relate to, and also understands them. Over here, Alex had them all.***She mused to and fro, wondering why her fiance wasn't home yet. It has got people talking if a wedding would ever hold.Sophia just couldn't afford to get a heartbreak. Well, she was aware he needed to recover from the shot he received days back but then, their wedding was important!While in her wonder, she met lucy cartwalking towards her with that annoying pet of hers.Sophia scoffed at her,
The four ladies sat opposite each other while Ethan sat adjacent them, gesturing to them to make themselves comfortable.How could they be comfortable when they were boiling with anger, and hatred against each other."What's this all for Ethan?" Evelyn asked banging the spoon in her hand on the table.He chuckled at her question and Lucy scoffed. Was he being serious or joking?"Please, eat something ladies...it would break my heart if you glare at the food which my chef prepared from his heart" Alex beckoned suddenly feeling relaxed."Ethan our wedding...""Sophia dear, we're in dinner, isn't it the host who is to begin the occasion?" Alex joked and Jessica snickered at Sophia."I don't have patient to wait...""Lucy pie, neither do I, wouldn't you do it for my health being? It makes me feel it's the last day we would be seeing each" he interrupted and she widened her eyes at him."Are you going to die or something?" Jessica asked emotionally and Alex faked a smile."Maybe, we never
