"Now I know where to find you. Whether you like it or not. I will get a piece of you," Brian said with a smirk. He got out of bed and had a quick shower. He put on a black round-neck T-shirt, matched it up with black trousers and put on a light green blazer. He grabbed his Rolex watch from his drawer of accessories and put on a small gold necklace. He neatly styled his hair and headed for the door after admiring himself in the mirror."Now time to pay my brother-in-law a visit or have my men look that girl up," he said and turned the doorknob.He opened the door only to find Julia standing behind the door with a frown. He also frowned looking at her with a questioning look."What is it?" Brian asked."I thought you said you would stay home with me today. So where are you going?" Julia asked."I said, I will stay home. I didn't say anything about 'with you'," Brian said and walked past Julia heading for the staircase.Julia followed him and stopped him from proceeding any further by st
"Bryson, you son of a bitch. I can't believe he is organizing a press conference for this stupid low-life daughter of Jezebel," Melissa cursed seeing the announcement of an upcoming press conference from Adams Corporation. She fetched her phone, dialled her mother's number and waited for her to answer. She heard her mother's voice at the other end of the phone."Mum, it is obvious Bryson likes this girl," Melissa whined."Don't worry sweetie. Let's plant some people to ask questions that will make her embarrass herself. You know Bryson will not attend such conferences. He will leave it for his PR team to handle," Rebecca said calmly. "I stripped her naked and she is going to show her face at the press conference. Do you think a question will make this girl feel embarrassed?" Melissa asked."Look, social media can be very cruel. She wants to be popular. Let's help her by making her a ridicule of the society," Rebecca said. "You can come over so we put something together. Your father i
"Good, find out who else lives in that apartment and let me know how tight security is around the place. If there is anything Bryson cares about, it is security," Brian said and ended the call. The man on the motorcycle drove off using a direct direction. He didn't need to drive to see the apartment. He was well vest with knowledge of the area and knew where every road leads to, including apartments in the location. As soon as Alex's ride took a turn on the road, he already knew where they were heading and which apartment was in the location. He found a place to park his motorcycle and used a different route to the penthouse. He knew he could not go through the gate because of the security man but he knew how to get into the compound. He did the checks and left the place after sharing the information with Brian. Inside the penthouse, Dede moved to the kitchen to prepare something. Katie was only there for a day and left the very next day. There were assigned cleaners who came to cle
Alex returned to the penthouse at 6 p.m. and went to his room. He took a shower and decided to turn in early. He wanted to clear his head with the walk but ended up sitting somewhere and crying. He didn't know the extent of his love for Dede until he realized Bryson was interested in her too. There was no way he could compete with Bryson for this girl's attention. He went to bed without checking the monitors because he didn't want to watch the girl he could never have. The next day, Sunday morning, Bryson left his apartment for the penthouse after freshening up. He didn't want Melissa coming around with her usual drama. After a couple of minutes' drive, he arrived at the penthouse intending to spend the night there. Alex saw Bryson's car drive in and he stepped out of his room to meet him."Good morning sir," Alex greeted."Good morning. I gave you an assignment," Bryson said."Yes, sir. I am working on it. I will have a report for you by tomorrow, 5 p.m.," Alex replied and followed B
"Sorry," Bryson apologized. "It is fine," Dede said feeling excited about getting a kiss from her crush."What happened?" Bryson asked trying to start a conversation to take away the awkwardness from his actions."I was in the living room and heard a knock. I thought it was Alex. So I answered and saw a man in a mask. Everything happened too fast. I felt a sharp pain in my neck and everything went dark," Dede narrated and Bryson sat down on the chair next to the bed.While Dede was talking, Bryson involuntarily held her hand in his and his eyes caught the bruises around the wrist. "When I woke up. I was tied up to a bed and had to fight Mr Brian Jackson. I am glad I wore jeans," Dede said and recalled she was topless.Dede pulled the pillow from behind her head and covered her face with it making Bryson frown. Bryson tried to take the pillow off her face but she held on to it."What happened?" Bryson asked"I know I was found nude again," Dede said in a muffled voice but Bryson heard
Alex turned on his laptop and started working on his report with the information he had received. Bryson on the other hand turned on his laptop and started preparing for work. After working for a while, Bryson left his office heading for his bedroom. He pushed the door open and found Dede sleeping in his bed. He strode into the bedroom and stood by his bed for a while staring at her. She was sleeping halfway on her side. "I don't know how this happened. And I don't know when it happened but I know you have awakened a part of me that I thought was long dead," Bryson whispered on his lips and sat on the side of bed still staring at her. With one side of the bed sinking in, Dede lay on her back fully facing up. Bryson stared at her face and clutched his fist seeing the scars on her face. Evidence of what Melissa's brother did to her. There was a cut on her lip and the swell part of her face had gone down even though that side of her face had changed colour. There was a cut on her no
After exiting the penthouse, Melissa got into her car and asked the driver to take her to her brother's home. "So this girl has managed to snatch Bryson away from me," Melissa thought. "Let's see how long that relationship will last," she thought while sitting in the car's back seat. Her phone rang and seeing who was calling, she frowned. She answered the call anyway. "Why are you calling me," Melissa asked angrily. "I just miss you. Can I see you tonight?" the man asked. "No, I have things to take care of," Melissa said. "You want to sleep in the cold bed alone rather than spend a pleasurable moment with me? Bryson would not touch you and you know it," the man said and started telling Melissa what he would do to her in bed. Melissa listened to him close her eyes and crossed her legs getting aroused. She let out a moan drawing the driver's attention to her. "Ma'am, are you alright?" the driver asked snapping Melissa out of her moment. "What!" Melissa said to the driver l
"Is there any other thing?" Bryson asked seeing Alex was still there after delivering his message."No, sir," Alex replied snapping out of his thought where his focus was on Dede. Alex headed for the exit and Bryson stared at him exiting the rooftop. He did see how Alex was looking at Dede and also read the anger in his eyes which quickly changed to a neutral mood when he asked if there was anything else. Bryson moved his gaze to Dede and could tell from her body language she felt very embarrassed. He bent his knees and rested his hand on her thighs."Hey, you are an adult and you don't have to be embarrassed about things like this," Bryson said and planted a kiss on her forehead and hands before pulling her up with him.The two exited the rooftop and returned to the next floor. They head for the bedroom and Bryson enters his room with Dede. She sat on the couch and Bryson fetched his phone from his bag and saw multiple calls from his mother. He dialled her number and waited for the c
