Alex was in so much of a hurry to get to her kid bro, Ander. It was Christmas day and why she could not come home to him last night was something that has kept her bothered. She can't tell why. " I can't believe I left you all alone on Christmas Eve, Ander. I am so sorry, I will make it up to you"She said as she approached her basement. From outside, she could see that her door was locked, which means Ander was not home. She wondered how come because he was home when she left yesterday. She checked her purse and I did not see the spare key she carries around. She was getting frustrated and with no solution in mind. Her phone was dead which is unusual. She was dead worried for him, Ander is her life and she does not know if she will survive if something happens to her kid bro. She can't fail her parents, not now. She would wait a little longer and if she can't find him, she would begin her search for him. The lady who had been watching her walked over to h

Josh was so in a hurry that he did not bother knocking, his grandfather will understand. Senior Bleak, who had been up since 5 am staring at nothing, looked towards his door and wondered what would make Josh come into his room like that. "Josh, what happened and why are you sweating on a winter morning?"Josh was tongue-tied. First time in his life he is helpless and does not have a clue about what to do. "Grandfather, there is a problem.""What type of problem?"Senior Bleak said and sat up. "Alex has suddenly stopped breathing."The words left Josh's mouth so fast that he could not stop them. Senior Bleak stared at him and sighed. "Get the girl, we are going to the hospital immediately"Senior Bleak said coolly. Josh was speechless, is that all his grandfather is going to say? What happened to his grandfather that he has stopped asking questions? "Right away, grandfather."Josh turned on his heels and left. Senior Bleak placed a call and a voice came immediatel

Jarden made sure to wait with Ander as he waited for the person that would come and pick him up. Ander had told him the latest development and his fears for his sister's life which in turn, Jarden has told him that he is worrying too much because if his sister was kidnapped, the kidnapper will be asking for ransom and would not offer to come to pick him up. "Don't worry bro, your sis is probably safe, so chill."This is the third time Jarden is telling him this after he saw that despite what he had told him so far he is still worried. Ander sighed and thought there is no need to work himself up, time will tell. He will wait and see how things unfold. Jarden And Ander did not wait for long when a Bugatti pulled up in their front. They took two steps back in order not to be on the way for whoever the car is for, not knowing it was for Ander. Silas hurriedly came down from the car and walked towards Ander who scrutinized him. Ander can't understand why the man is making his

Alex, who could not move an inch after her last encounter with the Friend next house, has been rooted in the place ever since. She was battling with confusion and can't seem to understand what was going on. If It's a dream she wants to wake up from it. She sighed and turned her back on the building and began moving away, she would just have to check the next friend. She was beginning to get chilly so she put on her gloves and wore her scarf. The coat she was putting on was not enough to protect her from the cold. Winter on Christmas morning was always extreme and it's the joy of Christmas but she found no joy today. She felt out of place and was beginning to get teary. She and her brother were supposed to be singing Christmas hymns and dancing like they always do every Christmas morning. Hot tears filled her eyes and she let them flow. Alex can be strong when she wants to but you see cry, she is good at it. Crying empties all bitterness in her soul and afterward, fills he

Senior Bleak entered and shut his door then went off to his computer room to see things for himself. He settled down and started with a reverse of the footage from that moment to when they had dinner yesterday. He kept searching but the footage was not clear, more like some parts were tampered with and whoever did the job tended to leave no trace but that's where the person is wrong. He got his phone and connected it to the system. The phone is attached to every secret camera in the mansion so whenever he can't find something from the computer, he uses his phone, and right there he will get the answer. He did not have to search for long and boom, the answer was in front of him. He cursed and stared hard at the picture of the perpetrator. *********** Alex walked on with tearful eyes, her beautiful face was painted with tears. The Christmas morning breeze was not helping her in any way, it was rather adding to her pain. She was damned miserable and
