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
The creeping sound of feet hasten towards where a chest laid. Its hands unbuckled the lock and quickly sprang it open."What a relief"A minute after those words were uttered, a loud bang was heard and stomping feet's became louder "Where's Natalie?" A voice rang through her ears, filling the room with anger, which emitted with desire to kill and truly, this being was going to rip her off if she desires has the item with her.The latter in question was at the rooftop, thinking of a possible way to come out. But that wouldn't work because she had to climb down and might end up meeting them.Her hands were still on the chest, and she didn't want it to be handed over to the wrong hands; because she couldn't afford losing all what she worked hard for."What do I do?" Natalie mused and then shuddered as she perceived that they were scattering her house for the item.Her body was stiff to where she sat attempting not to alert them if she makes a sound.Perhaps, Rodger was already suspecting
The doorbell rang and a maid hasten to get the door. It was the delivery man and she wondered what took him so long to arrive.The delivery man explained that there was a break down of the car and he needed to fix it."I would need Mr Ethan's signature" the young man beckoned bringing out a paper which he could sign.However, the maid did that on behalf of her boss. She didn't want to disturb him that early in the morning.Alex yawn as he strides outside his room only to be greeted by a large box which he would have almost kicked if he have looked clearly."Oh, it has arrived" he thought and tried to lift it but couldn't."Wow, so heavy" he affirmed, grimaced at the box, and called out to a servant; who could join hands with him to get the box inside.He had ordered for musical equipments, he was getting bored over searching and solving problems rather than enjoying his prime.Today, he had planned to go sightseeing, anything relating to the original owner of this body he possessed co
AT RODGER'S HOUSEHe could be seen preparing to head out, when his phone rang. It was his mother calling to ask how far he has gone, in the search for the item."I have sent a spy over her house, but it seems someone else had attacked her" he reported taking his wristwatch from his bed, which he intended to put on."Did you question her if she has it?""Even if she does, do you think she would open up to us? Even she knows what that single button could perform"The old lady contemplated over what he said, but then suggested that her stepson must have duplicated the item and hid it somewhere just to fool them.Mrs Anna mused on the phone and told him to pay a visit to his stepbrother just to confirm her presumptions."Why mother? I don't want to have mutual relationship with...""Shut up fool!" Her voice muffled on the phone as she narrated to him that it was best to keep the enemy close.Rodger scoffed and told her they were after the item and all that belongs to him not to build up a
“What are you here for?” Alex asked as he realizes that Rodger had been silent for a while.“Just curious about your health” he responded, faking a smile and gazing around.“I am doing fine, thanks for your care” Alex muttered studying the room if perhaps Natalie might be close by, but she was nowhere to be found.“About the company, how's it going” Rodger asked and Alex's response was that he should try visiting the company if he desires to know its welfare.Rodger scoffed at his reply. He undeniably knew how to be sweet and tough at the same time. This new attitude of Ethan was hilarious to him.“I guess you've heard about the vital item?” Alex began scrutinizing Rodger, who licked his lower lips subconsciously and then smirked at him.“Why do you ask?”“Just curious” Alex responded, crossing his legs over where he sat. He narrowed his eyes at Rodger, whose eyes were going to and fro.“Heard it went missing…”“Wow…news are sure to spread fast, if I could recall, only Lucian, Natalie
