"What?" I asked Clarissa."Oh... Oh! It's nothing." Clarissa said and continued eating."So, Alec. Can you tell me more about yourself? I mean, we will be getting married soon so as a wife, I need to know." Clarissa said to me."How soon are we getting married?" I asked her. "Tomorrow," Clarissa answered me."Okay," I said. "So can you tell me more about yourself?" Clarissa asked again."No. That part of me does not concern you in any way." I replied to Clarissa."What is wrong with her wanting to know you more? Answer her questions." her grandfather said to me."You are the one who wanted me to marry your granddaughter without even saying anything against me being a stranger sir. You both just have to deal with it." I started and got up. Clarissa held my hand, stopping me from leaving in the process."I'm so sorry I asked. Please forgive me." Clarissa begged and getting up from her seat, hugged me from behind.I don't know why but her presence gave me nothing but bad vibes and this h
The two men came and stood right in front of me and Clarissa, "Who is this that you have here?" the second spoke up."Babe I forgot to tell you about these two," Clarissa said to me."Loki, Dean, Meet my husband-to-be. His name is Alec Stone." Clarissa said."And Alec baby, these are the Vandelson Twins. Loki and Dean Vandelson." Clarissa added. The mention of their names took me down memory lane. "Those were the cousins the dying woman was talking about. And their voices... They were the same people who had come into my house that night. It was because of them that I got caught for nothing by the police and not just that. I am sure they are responsible for the death of that woman.I was being stressed in the police station and got myself caught in the web of this spider called Clarissa. And all this took place because of then!"Move aside man," Dean said and pushed me aside as he proceeded closer to Clarissa. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Dean asked Clarissa."How do y
The two brothers went into their limousine and set off. I was left standing there with no idea where to go.I stopped a taxi, while having no money to pay him, and I gave him the address which Clarissa had given me. Soon I was back in front of the gates of her mansion and as soon as I stepped out, the driver requested his payment, "Let me get the money, sir. I will be right back." I said to the taxi driver, with the hope that Clarissa would change her mind and give me money to pay for the taxi.However, on hearing my reply, the taxi driver's face changed immediately. He stepped out of the car and stood in front of me with a serious look on his face, "Look, sir, I do not want to cause a scene here. I have been played this way before. You want to go into that mansion and disappear without paying up. Give me my money right now." the taxi driver said to me."I told you already that I will be right back. You can trust that I am not a thief." I said and turned away from the Taxi driver to
"What are you two doing in my home?!" Clarissa yelled at Dean and Loki."I came to see my beloved," Dean answered. Clarissa rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest, "Get out." Clarissa said to Dean.Dean got up but Loki remained seated and grabbed the remote which was already next to him. Loki turned on the TV and started to change channels while Clarissa stood in bewilderment. "What do you think you are doing?" Clarissa asked Loki."Hello?" Dean said, waving his hand in front of Clarissa. He caught her attention and finally put his hand back down."I came here to tell you that I am willing to take you back. As soon as you render a heartfelt apology to me and my brother." Dean said to Clarissa, his head held high."What?!" Clarissa exclaimed. I knew that this was the moment she would have wanted me to step in and so that was what I did.I went to where they were standing and I took my place, standing next to Clarissa and putting my arm around her waist, "She will not be r
"Boys. Sit down." Mr Cooper Vandelson said. Dean and Loki exchanged uncomfortable looks with each other and then looked at their uncle."It's fine. We will stand." Loki said to Mr Vandelson."Last I checked, I did not give any of you two an option." Mr Vandelson said to them. Dean and Loki exchanged looks again and then went to where there was a sofa to sit. Dean took out a handkerchief and was about to dust off the old sofa but Mr Cooper stopped him."Do not even think about it." Mr Cooper said to Dean, getting up from his place. Dean reluctantly sat on the dusty and cobwebs-covered sofa just as Loki had done.Mr Cooper hung his hands behind his back as he paced from left to right and vice versa in front of Dean and Loki. By the look on the faces of the twins, you could tell that their fear for Mr Cooper could not be matched with any other of their fears.They knew that such a sudden call from Mr Cooper meant only one thing and that was that, they were both in deep trouble for somet
[Morning time at Clarissa's mansion]I felt something land on me and when I opened my eyes it was a pillow. I yawned and then stretched, pushing the pillow off myself with my stretched arms.Wait... How did a pillow land on me like that? I wondered. I looked up and saw Clarissa standing beside my bed and staring down at me."Good morning." I greeted unwillingly."Why were you still asleep?" Clarissa asked me. I looked away ridiculously and then looked back at her. What was wrong if I slept in?I stared at Clarissa with questioning eyes and she slapped her palm against her forehead, "Today is the wedding Alec." she said, in a tired tone of voice.My eyes widened immediately and I jolted up from my bed, "I am so sorry. I forgot. I will get ready right now." I rushed my words as I moved awkwardly around the room, not sure of what I wanted to do first and then decided to go into the bathroom.Clarissa sat on my bed, arms crossed until I came out of the bathroom and changed into a suit."Y
Dean drove to the place where he knew that Loki would be, while also trying to reach Loki on phone, "Damn it! Pick up Loki!" Dean shouted in frustration.By the time Dean looked up from his phone, he had almost clashed with another car because he somehow managed to get in the wrong lane but luckily for him, he managed to dodge just in time."Watch where you are driving bastard!" the driver of the other car shouted to Dean but Dean had no time to think about that and he continued on his way.Soon Dean reached the location and he stepped out of his car and entered the club only to sight five men gathered at one corner of the club."No-no-no. It cannot be Loki. He is not the one." Dean thought to himself as he went towards the five men who had someone surrounded.To Dean's disappointment, that particular someone turned out to be Loki. "Ah, shit!" Dean thought. Loki was drunk as he could be and was being pushed around by those five men."Give us back our money you dimwit!" one of the men y
Dean dropped Loki back at the mansion and headed for the house. He arrived at the place and parked near the house. Dean got off his car and went directly to knock on the front door.After a while of knocking and waiting, Dean was about to kick the door open himself when a woman suddenly came and dragged his suit from behind, "Hey! What do you think you are doing?!" the woman yelled.Dean turned to look at who it was that dared to drag him. It turned out to be Mrs Clay, the landlady."Who are you?" Dean asked the woman. "And get those filthy hands the hell out of my..." Dean was speaking but the woman interrupted him, "I am Mrs Clay! The landlady of the house you were about to kick you moron!" Mrs Clay said to Dean and let go of his suit.Dean set his suit right and looked the woman over. He raised a brow at her, "You don't look like a landlady." Dean said to her."So sorry. I forgot to put on a house and write landlady on my forehead." Mrs Clay said, in sarcasm."Pfft!" Dean said and
