as a living?” Lucia asked
“Well I’m 22 and I’m in my second year in
college” Zoey said, eating her meal
Lucia just nodded..
“This beef stew is good.. Here, have a taste”
Bryce said and brought his spoon to her lips.
Zoey glanced at his parents who were starring
eagerly at them. She shyly ate from his spoon
and it stained her lips.
Bryce brought his thumb to her lips and wiped
off the stains before licking it. He smiled at her.
“Awwnn… Honey they’re so cute!! They remind
me of us!!” Lucia gushed and Roland chuckled
then pecked her cheek.
LATER**
They finished having dinner and now it was
time for bed. Bryce walked out of the bathroom
in only his shorts while drying his hair with a
towel
He paused and furrowed his brows when he
saw Zoey partitioning the bed into two with
pillows
“What are you doing?”
“I’m setting boundaries.. You sleep on this side
of the bed and I sleep on this one” Zoey said.
“Huh? But we’re-”
“No no! It doesn’t matter if we’re now dating or
not.. We’re still at our early phase so we sleep
this way” Zoey smirked and nodded.
Bryce looked at her with a funny look on his
face. He rolled his eyes and walked to the bed
then grabbed a pillow.
“Oops!” He threw it off
“Oops!” He threw another pillow away
He continued till he threw away all the pillow
she used to make a barrier.
Without warning, he grabbed her wrist and
pulled her down the bed with him hovering
above her..
Zoey stared at him and gulped down as her
gaze trailed down to his abs then back up to his
face.
“Should we start arguing as usual or you wanna
sleep?” He smirked.
“Arguing will lead to something steamy,, let me
inform you” Bryce whispered to her ear.
“Let’s.. Let’s sleep!” Zoey quickly said
“Wise decision” Bryce said and got off her,
laying beside her. He pulled her closer by the
waist and then covered them with the duvet.
The duvet covered Zoey completely and she
peeked her face out, looking so adorable that
Bryce didn’t know when he smiled.
He kissed her lips before kidding her forehead.
“Goodnight” He said
Zoey smiled and snuggled closer to him..
“Goodnight” She muttered too, closing her eyes
as sleep took over
✮✮✮✮✮
In a dark, silent and eery room… A body could
be seen dangling, half unconscious
Tyler walked in with a bucket of salty water and
poured it on the body..
“Argh!!!” Mrs Cooper let out an agonizing
scream as the salt on the water badly sting her
bruise.
The lights came on and Mrs Cooper looked so
unrecognizable. They stripped her off her
clothes and lines of whips could be seen all
over her body, she was also bleeding so much
from the stabs she received on her thigh and her
face was something to write home about,, in a
bad way.
“Let me go… Please” She cried
“You’re still not ready to tell us why you wanted
to eliminate Lucas and his father?” Tyler
smirked.
She clamped her lips tight. If she talks, then that
means her husband and daughter’s life will also
be at stake.
Never in her wildest dream will she have
thought that Lucas could be involved in things
like this and Marshall? Marshall??
It’s at that moment, she began regretting ever
having something to do with that family.
“Argh!!!!!” Her thought was cut shut when Tyler
dipped the end of a wire in the pool of water
that formed under her and it began
electrocuting her
“Stop?! Please!!!… Argh!!!”
Tyler brought out the cable from the water. He
grabbed her neck tightly.
“Still won’t speak huh? Or you want us to
involve your precious daughter and husband”
Tyler said and fear immediately gripped her.
“At this very moment, our men have your place
surrounded.. Just one call to them and your
family will be memory” Lucas said, entering the
room with his hands in his pocket
“I give you 3 seconds to decide. 3…2..”
“I’ll speak!! I’ll talk!!” Mrs Cooper said in tears.
“The.. The plan was that we get Blaire married
to Alex and with that done, we get rid of you and
your father and with Alex as our in-law and the
only heir,, all your family wealth will go to us”
Mrs Cooper said weakly while look.
“I see… And now that my dad has broken the
engagement, you wanna eliminate us” Lucas
said and suddenly laughed..
“This is really funny yunno…” Lucas said..
“That pest Blaire, she’s really so selfish. Will you
believe if we tell you she knows about this
organization yet she decided to hide what her
family is planning. She’s really playing with fire”
Tyler joined to laugh.
Mrs Cooper’s eyes widened in shock.. What did
she just hear..
“We have to teach her a lesson.. Something
she’ll never forget” Lucas smirked.
“How about we render her motherless huh?” Don
spoke, coming in.
“That’s a great idea dad” Lucas said.
“Marshall.. Marshall.. Please have mercy on me,
I didn’t know any of these. Please forgive me an
my family” Mrs Cooper begged.
“Boys leave, I’ll take care of everything” Marshall
said.
Lucas and Tyler left as told. Marshall paid deaf
ear to her pleading and walked to a table. He
picked a sword and smiled at how sharp it was.
Mrs Cooper’s eyes widened.
“In your next life, when you hear Marshall Don
Leighton.. You run” Marshall said menacingly
waking to her
“No.. No.. Marshall please forgive me.. Marshall
I beg.. Mar- Arghh!!!”
Blood splattered on the wall..
✮✮✮✮✮
Unfortunately, Roland had a conference to
attend so he couldn’t see them off..
“Bye son” Lucia hugged Bryce and kissed his
cheek.
She hugged Zoey too.
“Please take care of my son okay? He can be
sometimes reckless and annoying but just
manage him that way” Lucia said and Zoey
chuckled then nodded.
“And you take care of Zoey okay? If you dare
make her cry I’ll break your head” Lucia warned
and Bryce raised his hands in defeat.
They both got in the car and then waved one
last time at Lucia before driving off..
“New York, here we come!!”
✮✮✮✮✮
Alex hugged Abbie to himself as he stroke her
hair, admiring how cute she was while sleeping.
Abbie slowly opened her eyes and she pouted
before looking at Alex.
A smile spread on her lips.
“Good morning Sunshine!” She said and Alex
smiled then pecked her lips.
“How was your night?” He asked, stroking her
hair.
“So good! With me in your arms” She said,
snuggling closer to him and Alex chuckled
“Today is Monday but we have no lectures..
What should we do?” Alex asked.
“Umm.. Let’s get together with our friends and
enjoy the day together.” Abbie suggested.
“If that’s what my heart wants then I’m okay
with it..” Alex said.
“Cool! I’ll text them! I’m sure Zoey is on her way
back with Bryce so she’ll definitely join” Abbie
took her phone from the stand
“I also ordered us matching outfits. They’ll arrive
any minutes from now.” Alex said.
“Awwn thanks babe” She kissed his lips but Alex
held her and deepened it.
MINUTES LATER**
“I’m also done!” Abbie said, coming out of the
room.
Alex who was sitting on the couch while
pressing his phone look up and smiled.
“How do I look?” She twirled around.
She was putting on a white big shirt half fitted
in a blue jean mini skirt with white canvas and
her hair was let loose.
Alex was also wearing assorted clothes too.
White shirt with same design as hers, sky blue
ripped jeans and white canvas plus shades,
looking like a top model.
“You look Sëx¥.. Makes me wanna do unholy
things to you” Alex muttered and licked his lips.
“C’mon” Abbie chuckled.
Alex stood up and she hugged his arm..
“You look so perfect that I sometimes can’t
believe I’m dating you” Abbie said as they left
his condo.
“What?” Alex laughed…
✮✮✮✮✮
“What! What do you mean by you haven’t found
my wife… She’s been missing for more than 12
hours!!” Mrs Cooper ranted on the phone.
Blaire got down the stairs, wearing skimpy
outfits. One could tell she was about to go out.
She saw her father ranting on the phone and
she rolled her eyes.
“Quit the yelling dad.. Mom is probably enjoying
a good d_1ck at someone’s place” Blaire said,
heading to the exit.
She opened the door and almost bumped on the
maid who was carrying a box in her hand.
“Miss… Here’s a delivery for you” She said.
“Me?” Blaire thought and slowly collected it.
She never ordered something so why are they
delivering things to her. She made to open the
box when she saw a letter stuck to it
Blaire took the letter and opened it then read
? My little naïve Blaire,
This is a little warning from us that next time,
you shouldn’t try to play the smartass with us..
You caused it upon yourself and don’t even try
to tell on us if you love your parents or should I
say,, what is left.. Lol ?
Blaire immediately began trembling and she
pocketed the letter. With shaky hands, she
slowly opened the box and was welcomed with
the gruesome view.
“Ahhhhhh!!!!?” She fell on her butt without being
pushed.
Mr Cooper immediately turned to see Blaire
crying silently, starring with wide eyes at the
box. He quickly rushed to her.
“What’s happening… Are you-” He paused when
he saw what was in the box.
His hands immediately flew to his mouth as his
eyes remained wide out of shock.. In fact shock
was an understatement
Inside the box was the head of Mrs Cooper, her
eyes were gorged out and her hair was
completely shaved… Only the pungent smell
coming from it will confirm it was from her
body.
“My wife no!! Who did this to you!!! No!!!” Mr
Cooper fell too, crying loudly..
Blaire kept crying silently as she kept her gaze
fixed on the head of her mom..
It’s all her fault… If she persuaded her parents to
abandon the idea of trying to take over
Marshall’s wealth the moment she found out
about their organization, all these wouldn’t have
happened…
Her selfish desire to have Alex and more fame
led her to this. She wanted to kíll two birds with
one stone and this is were it led her to.
“I killed mom..”
“I killed mom…”
Those were what kept ringing in her ears as she
sank more and more deeper into the pool of
guilt
“My wife… Tell me this is a dream,, no!!?” Mr
Cooper wailed bitterly.
✮✮✮✮✮
Bryce who was disguised as a cleaner stopped
in front of Alex’s condo. He brought out the
cleaner’s card and swiped it in a slot, the door
opened
He looked around and then sneaked to his room
then began rummaging through Alex’s things.
“Can’t believe I’ll stoop this low into doing this
but I have no choice” He thought, searching for
something
“Bingo!” He smiled when he picked Alex’s
hairbrush. He removed some of Alex’s hair stuck
in it and put it in a small nylon and just the
same way he came…that’s how he left
✮✮✮✮✮
“Oh my Füçking god!! So much happened during
this weekend.. Like you and our lecturer are now
dating? But how” Abbie asked as she ate from
her cake.
“It’s a long story and at the same time short too.
” Zoey chuckled.
“Zoey dating the president’s son… Wow, you hit
the jackpot” Alma smiled.
“I’m happy for you and Everett too” Zoey said
and Alma looked at Everett then smiled.
“So that means we should throw a goodbye
party to our single life” Estella said and they
chuckled.
“Where’s Bryce by the way..” Alex asked, feeding
Abbie his cake.
“He said he had something important to do..”
Zoey said
“I wonder what he’s doing…” Alex muttered
“After this.. Let’s all go to the spa and relax,
besides I wanna wash off the dye on my hair
like my sunshine said” Abbie said cutely..
“Awwn… Poor me” Whitney gushed.
“I’m I a joke to you?” Julian raised a brow and
they laughed.
✮✮✮✮✮
Bryce kept pacing to and fro in the doctor’s
office as he waited for him to return. For the
first time in his life, he was so nervous and a bit
scared.
What if the DNA results comes out negative?
What will he do next? What if it then comes out
positive, what will he also do?
Just like that, his thoughts immediately became
messed up but his thoughts were cut short
when the doctor came in.
“The results are ready” The doctor said with a
face that one couldn’t even figure out the results
by looking at it.
With sweaty palms, Bryce collected the results
and read it thoroughly. A drop of tear fell on the
paper when he read the result.
The results were none other than…..
T.B.C♡
