Chapter: EpilogueANDRE*Few Months Later*"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said but I was way ahead of him.Cleo was already in my arms, our lips fused together as we kissed each other recklessly.We pulled apart after a while and turned to the cheering crowd all smiles, our hands linked together. Then we slowly made our way down the aisle, stopping to greet family and friends as we did.The celebration continued in the reception and I never for once let go of my lovely bride. We danced, drank, ate and partied before eventually retiring to our suite for the night."I love you," I said as we made our way to the bed."I love you too... So damn much!" Cleo breathed out in reply.I smiled as I laid her on the bed and fused our lips together. I'd just begun to take her clothes off when Cleo broke our kiss and mumbled in a breathless voice, "Andre, I have something to tell you. Something huge.""Okay, sweetheart, what is it?" I quizzed

Chapter: Chapter 27CLEONA"What are YOU doing here?!" I asked venomously."I came to see you Cleo." He replied, his British accent more pronounced than before."What do you mean by that? How the heck did you find me?""Really? No 'hi Dad'. 'It's been so long Daddy'.""The guts you must have...to come here after 10 years and expect me to jump right into your arms!? You have got to be joking DAD! Now I ask again, what are you doing here and how the heck did you find me!?"He sighed and said "Well a week ago, a man named Andre Simmons called me and told me what'd happened to you so I...""Wait a sec, did you just say Andre Simmons?""Yeah. He said he was your...""Boyfriend. He is so dead!" I muttered angrily. "Now back to you, what are you doing here!?""Well Andre told me what happened to you so I thought I'd come and see how you were doing.""I'm fine. Now can you leave?""Cleo, I'm sorry I stayed away but I'm here now

Chapter: Chapter 26CLEONA"Sierra! What the hell are you doing here? I never hurt you. Heck I barely even know you." I yelled hysterically."True but you stole Andre from me and I'm going to make you pay!""Damn you Sierra! All this for a guy who doesn't love you!?""He doesn't seem to love you that much either if he kisses your best friend.""How do you know about that!?""Because...dearest Ariadne is on our side.""You're lying!""Oh no! On the contrary Cleo, I'm actually telling you the truth. In fact without her, this plan would have never worked.""Ariadne would never do that. She wouldn't, would she?" I asked, more to myself than anyone else."Well she would and now we can do anything we want to do with you. We're gonna have so much fun." Ian said with a devious smile on his face.Sierra left, leaving only Chad, Raphael and I together."I say we have some fun, don't you think so?""I do." Rap

Chapter: Chapter 25 ANDREI exhaled sharply as I watched Cleo disappear round a corner. I sighed sadly where I stood, the box burning a hole in my pocket. I reached in and grabbed it, opening it to display a large diamond ring set on a silver band.That'd been my surprise. I was about to propose to her. I was going to propose to her. It would happen during her speech and I was sure she would say yes.Now... I wasn't so sure anymore.I wouldn't want to either if I saw her in the arms of another man. In fact, I hadn't even want to speak to her after what happened with that prick, Cameron and now the very same thing had happened to me... Speaking of which...I turned around suddenly as thou

Chapter: Chapter 24 CLEONAIt feels really good to be in love. I'm living proof of that fact. I always thought that love wasn't for me and that love was basically a scam but ever since Andre and I expressed our true feelings to each other, I have never been happier in my whole life.After our session in the bathtub, we had one more round at the sink (don't ask!) before we were finally able to peel our hands off each other and actually get dressed.Even in the car, we couldn't stop giving each other 'googly eyes'.Now I seem to understand Kyla and Scott's relationship because Andre and I are even worse than them. Weird right?Anyways, Andre and I surveyed the site. They were almost

Chapter: Chapter 23 {RATED 18+} CLEONAI woke the next morning feeling sore all over. My lips curved into a smile as I remembered the night Andre and I had. It's a wonder we got any sleep at all.I turned to the side to give Andre a good morning kiss but he wasn't there. Almost immediately, a warning went off in my head but I quickly brushed it aside with a "Andre would never do that to me".Almost immediately as if on cue, Andre made his way inside the room, a breakfast tray in hand."Good morning, babe," he said, walking towards me."Babe?" I said, a smile playing on my lips.

The Bad Boy Hates Me
What do you do when the person you've always loved is the same person who keeps hurting you the most?
That's something Allison McConnell would like to know.
Allison has had feelings for Derris Fox for as long as she could remember. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one. As a musician and actor known worldwide, Derris was the dream of every girl and popular as he was, he was way out of her league. Allison thought she was doomed to be just one of his many fangirls until fate caused them to cross paths.
Unfortunately, what would have been a dream come true for her turned out to be a nightmare after circumstances led to Derris developing an intense dislike for her causing him to treat her badly.
Still struggling with issues at home along with her complicated relationship with Derris, Allison also has to handle being the object of affection of the equally handsome Max Crest, Derris' best friend which inadvertently puts tension between the two friends.
As tensions heightens and Allison battles her feelings and enemies alike, will she make the right choice or will a sinister plot by a clingy ex ruin her chances at ‘happily ever after’?

Chapter: Chapter 89 - What Lies Ahead... (Finale)"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" I inquired, looking at his stitched-up wound with concern. "I'm sure. You heard the medic. It wasn't really serious. The bullet just grazed me. I'll be fine," he assured me but it did nothing to abate my worry. "But still... You could have been seriously injured. Why did you have to rush in like that?" "It was all worth it to make sure you didn't leave here in a body bag. I'd do anything to protect you," he stated, staring seriously at me. "How about you try not to die while you're at it?" He chuckled. "I'll do my best." I nodded to show that I was satisfied and continued to look at his wound. "Allison?" he called. I looked up from the wound. "Yes?" "About what Aria said—" he started. I raised my hand to stop him. "I don't want to hear it. Be it the truth or not," I told him. "I still want you to know. I've kept it to myself for so long but I didn't know how I w

Chapter: Chapter 88 - The Party CrasherI had several hours before my flight to England which was taking off early tomorrow morning. Nellie being Nellie, she'd organized a get-together for all of us. A farewell party for me.At the party, she'd decided to embarrass me by unexpectedly showing up with an album containing pictures from my childhood that had somehow ended up at her place.Baby photos, bath photos, birthday photos, embarrassing pictures; it was there and Nellie was taking great delight in my embarrassment."I hate you!" I whispered to her while Max and Derris were laughing over a picture taken of me trying to steal a piece of my birthday cake before the birthday and ending it with it all over."Aww! I love you too, boo," she replied, blowing a kiss at me. I rolled my eyes at her before attempting to snatch the album from them."Hey! What gives?" Max whined. "I think that's enough pictures for one day, don't you think? Besides, aren't you guys supposed to be sad that I'm leavi

Chapter: Chapter 87 - Baby Steps Neither Derris nor I spoke about the situation with his mom again. Things were a little tense because of it so ignoring it was probably for the best. The next day, Derris got discharged from the hospital so he could finally go home which was enough cause for celebration. But I was also reminded of the fact that that meant I would be leaving soon. I had told my dad to book another flight, guaranteeing him that nothing was going to stop us from leaving this time. The flight was booked to go in three days. Three days to say goodbye to everything and everyone I'd ever known and loved. It was a little depressing but I tried my best not to focus on my nearing departure and just live in the moment and at the moment, I was happy that Derris was doing okay and out of the hospital. After he was released to us, we — consisting of Max, Caleb, Jeremy, Nellie, Derris and I — piled into Max's car and drove to Derris' house. The atmosphere was filled with excitement

Chapter: Chapter 86 - Not Quite EasyDerris made a quick recovery afterwards. It was probably because of his phobia for hospitals after his experience when he was younger but either way, I was happy about that. But despite all my pleas, he'd still refused to see his mom and even when she tried to speak to him, he'd either ignore her or coldly tell her to leave because she wasn't wanted. It was clear he'd made us his mind and that was what worried me. I knew that if he continued to hold on to his resentment for his parents, it would only come back to harm him later on. In a way, it already had. I just had to make him see that. A day to his discharge, I was with him in his ward, reading a book to him like he'd asked me to. When I looked up from the book though, he wasn't looking at me like he always did. Instead, he was staring into space thoughtfully. I dropped the book on my lap and tapped him. "Hey. What are you thinking about?" "Everything and nothing, I guess. Why'd you stop?"

Chapter: Chapter 85 - Kind of a Miracle Long story short, I missed my flight the next day. It was a little hard to explain why I couldn't leave town just yet to my dad but being the caring person he was, he understood. Since the family who bought our house didn't have plans to move in just yet, we didn't have to move out yet so our accommodation was settled, at least for now. The next few days after Derris' accident though, were anything but. As it turned out, his injuries were a lot severe and he had to be rushed into surgery two times while still being in a coma. Every moment he spent in surgery was a moment I spent wondering if he would come out alive. And when he did, I was torn between being happy that he made it out and devastated that he was still in a coma. But after seeing his car and the accident scene, it really was a wonder he hadn't died on the spot. Supposedly, Derris had crashed into a parked car from behind and then had his car run into by another car. The police rep

Chapter: Chapter 84 - A Brush with DeathThings progressed smoothly for a while. My dad got a few offers for the house and eventually decided on one. With the down payment, we were able to find a little flat abroad which we paid for upfront.The plan was to move to England about a month before I was to resume at Sunnyside which would give us the time to settle in at our new place.To get rid of the stuff we couldn't bring with us, my dad insisted we had a yard sale which turned out to be a little harder than I thought.We kept only the things that were important to us and our family as a whole and put the more trivial things on sale but even then, seeing other kids touch my little sister's old dolls, the twin's colouring sets and other things like that...It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.But after the yard sale ended, it felt as though a load had been lifted off my shoulders and I could finally breathe. We'd kept those items around for so long and now that they were g
