David arrived back home pretty late, he understood why Nessa has refused to come home with him. The event that occurred earlier in her presence was upsetting, he would even love some time alone if he was in her shoes even if it was clearly not his fault.
she was not blaming him for anything, but her action was, he stepped into his room and into the closet to pull his shirt. He only hope she'd forget what she had seen quickly, her actions were really hurting him being the first time she's deliberately started far away from him.
David stepped into the bathroom for a hot steamy bath to lose his tensed muscles. David went under the hot shower letting the water rush down his head, while at it...
"What rook you so long to get here?" Grace asked stepping down the stairs majestically, when she learned Nessa would not be returning home tonight, she had to get lucky to execute the plans they already started. It's not every day an opportunity like this one comes by, besides Lucy is meant to be Davids's real wife if only he agreed to marry her.
"I'm so sorry Auntie, there was a bit of traffic." "I'm no child to lie to Lucy, you should be happy I decided to grant you this favor." "He's alone like I said before, now go do your thing." She stated for the girl to nod finding he'd way down the stairs.
Though David rejected her previously on the stand that she was still a kid and the same age as his daughter, now she's 25 what other excuses can he give now?
She stood before a black door, the only door on the last floor being his chambers, twisting the door mob, lucky was astonished to find it locked. What is this? This is not meant to happen.

I got under the hot shower after my talk with mum, I'm very much pleased they're finally getting married. I still didn't understand why they had to stay this long. I still could not believe Genevieve and aunt Grace did what they did, it's high time they start leaving on their own.
I finally had the mother-to-daughter talk with mum which was exactly what I needed. I let the water rush through my head, adding Alex's viscous liquid to my hair, I decided to use his body product tonight, I was upset with him and would do anything that will upset him too.
I kneaded my skull with it smoothly before rinsing, I brought out his lavender body scrub and used it on my body. It would have made me feel much better if Alex had told me he wouldn't be returning tonight.
Making me wait till this late at night was not funny at all, I felt dejected and furious at him. I've tried to understand he's a busy man for years now, but I'm tired of understanding. I need time with him too.
"You couldn't wait so we could bath together hmm? Isn't this water too hot for your skin" Alex switched on the cold water, before wrapping his arms around my waist, pressing his lips on my shoulder multiple times? He never left, which means I was angry for nothing. He took the scrubbing brush from me and helped me scrub my back.
"You didn't leave?" I asked already feeling hot from his touch. "Leave? I didn't recall telling you I was leaving." A smile formed on my lips, "I'm not leaving anytime soon sweet." He said softly biting my earlobe. "Alex." A whisper came through my lips.
"This isn't your scent, are you using my stuff sweet?" Alex turned me around pressing his lips on mine, "I love you." He blurted out. He's meant to be angry with me, not remind me about how much he loves me. "I love you too Babe." He pulled me closer and captured my lips.
Alex is still here, it's been a week already and he hasn't left, "Did you enjoy the party, did anyone give you stress?" He pulled out caressing my lower lips with his thumb "I... I had fun, everything went as predicted." I shivered. He responded with a hmm inserting the bath wash on his body and I helped him scrub his back.
We both stepped into the closet after bathing taking turns to dry each other's hair before selecting our night clothes, "I've thought of killing Phillip." I heard him propose which had me meeting his gaze, "You know you can't kill him right? Get that thought off your head, Alex." "Can't kill him? Who says I can't?"
"Why would you think of such? Phillips is a family friend, not an antagonist Alex." I wore his shirt standing before the dressing mirror to brush my hair, furious at what he just said. Alex is not one to play around with something as vile as killing someone, I still don't know what he's got against Philip when he's clearly taken his revenge against his family.
I knew he'd think of killing Phillip one day, but I never thought it'll be this soon. Here I thought I knew the man I married, almost forgetting how heartless he can be or has always been. "He was family but now a threat." He said calmly.
"Threat? Or you just want to see him like that." "I shouldn't talk to you about things of this such I'm sorry." "You promised to never touch him, Alex, you have to keep your promise." "Not when he's a danger to my family." Alex started hugging me from behind as he placed his chin on my shoulders, we both stared at our reflection in the mirror in total silence.
"I know I promised not to touch him, even promises are sometimes broken." "Alex, Phillip has a child younger than ours, don't take that child's father away I might never be able to forgive myself." I cupped his face with both my hands hoping for a better response.
*************
Alex stared at her without a word, he knew his karma was to come someday, but never knew that karma would be his wife, the woman he loves and adored with his soul. Hazel is just too good and perfect for a demon like him. "Forget about Phillip and focus more Beverly, Maya told me she's escaped from the asylum.
"I know."
