Chapter: LOOK ME IN THE EYES.AMARACHI'S POV.Maybe I overreacted. Maybe I am really trying to take her best friend away from her. Maybe I should just suck it up and stop ignoring Ade. it is not his fault that he does not like me.Those were the thoughts replaying in my mind. After the confrontation in Michelle's house, I did not even wait for the others. I walked to the bus stop in anger. I was really angry and disappointed. I thought we were friends and she was there ignoring me just because of a silly thing. Why would she think that way? Have I done anything to give her the impression that I am trying to "steal" her best friend? I have also been ignoring Chris since the episode that happened at Michelle's house. I did not want to do that but it feels as though I am the reason for the fight between her and Mich. it just feels so weird. I didn't want her friendship with Mich to shatter just because of me. Mich did not even try and reach out to me. What was I even expecting her to do? Maybe apologise to me? Wel

Chapter: THE CONFRONTATION.CHRISTABEL'S POV.Michelle ignored my existence throughout the day. She acted like she did not see me, even when I sat beside her during history class. She did not say a word to me and I need an explanation. This is the very first time something like this would happen. Michelle is more than a best friend to me. We have been there for each other during hard times. It was really hard to ignore the side talks and hateful glare that my classmates threw my way. The school was looking very dry because almost all the students had started going home. I sat on the bench outside our class, waiting for Amarachi and Michelle. I had texted Ade and Jeff to meet me here, a few minutes ago. I could not talk to Michelle because she was giving me attitudes so I pleaded with Amarachi to cajole her into coming here. “Hey, bel. What's up? Where are the others?" Jeff asked. Jeff and Ade, are here already. “I do not know what is taking them so long but they should be here very soon.”I just hope Amarac

Chapter: CHAPTER TWELVE. Christabel sighs for the umpteenth time and attempts to turn around again.She has been standing at the gate of CROWNSTAR HIGH SCHOOL. Scared to her bone. The students of CROWNSTAR HIGH SCHOOL can be so brutal with their words.At this point, she needed her friends. Michelle had gone MIA since Friday. She didn't want to disturb Amarachi. She had done enough. Giving her a shoulder to cry on and being so supportive.Christabel suddenly makes up her mind to miss school for the day. She turns around and her body collides with a firm body. She could recognize this Cologne anywhere. Without looking up to confirm the identity of the person, Christabel tries to turn sideways and escape.“Where are you going to? Shouldn't you be in school? Are you being bullied?”Christabel hissed loudly. “And what are you feeling like right now? Look, I can not stress this enough. Mind your fucking business, Jeff!”“I know you are hurt and angry but allow me to be your friend even if it's just for today. Yo

Chapter: NIGGAS AIN'T SHIT.AMARACHI'S POV.Whoever wrote that article in the school's student journal must be very stupid. He/She probably has a personal issue with Christabel.Nothing in that article is right. Christabel never begged Jeff to have sex with her. This crazy!Who would have done this? I don’t think Jeff did this but apart from Ade, Michelle and me, no one else knows that Christabel likes Jeff.Taking one more look at the article, I hissed and annoyingly left the page. The comments were very nasty. I wonder what might be going on in her mind right now. I tried contacting her phone is switched off. It has been switched off since yesterday night.I need to see her. I tapped on the W******p app to check if she was at least online. I just need to be sure that she is okay. I checked the status updates and one particular status caught my attention.He didn’t send any text since morning. Which is really weird, considering the fact that he has been sending me texts every day, ever since the “almost kiss”

Chapter: THE DINNER.SARAH'S POV.I remembered how angry Christabel looked today at the cafeteria and I couldn't stop the mischievous smile that crept up to my lips.The fact that only Michelle ran after her, made me smile even more.I am just getting started and she's already very mad. The other guy which I didn't know until today, was really creepy. He kept mute the entire time. I was surprised to find out he is Jeff's twin brother. They are unidentical not only in physique but also in their characters.Jeff is the lively and popular one while George is really weird and he never speaks. I have never seen him with anyone except his brother, Ade, Michelle and Christabel.When I returned from school, I spent a lot of time texting Ade. Well, he said we needed to catch up. He didn't mention the dinner and it made me wonder if he was going to come with his parents. Mum said he was going to come so I didn't mention it to him either.“Baby, you should start getting ready. Your father won't be available tonig

I get praises every day on Instagram for my lips and attractive eyes.So I really don't get it. What does she have that I don't?

Chapter: 10Alessia's PovAfter two excruciating days of being unwell, I finally made a recovery. I was feeling somewhat better. Better in the sense that I didn't feel like ripping someone's head off if they asked me a ridiculous question. I groaned as I trudged to my walk in wardrobe. I picked out some clothes. The day was young and I had a lot of shit to do.I heard a knock on the door and opened it to see Ace. I took a few steps back when he entered my room. "I was informed you were awake. How are you feeling?" He asked. I raised a brow. This fucker thinks he can walk in whenever he wants. Much like me if I think about it. I must say he looked absolutely dashing in his usual attire. Today, however, he chose to wear a white shirt under dark waistcoat. I averted my eyes as I looked for a towel. "I'm much better. Thank you." I found a towel and headed for the bathroom. "So are you just going to stand there while I take a shower?" I asked Ace with a teasing smirk. He chuckled as he crossed his

Chapter: Chapter 9Ace's POVI'm not sure what overcame me but I kissed Alessia's hand. The sweet scent never left my lips. I wanted more. I craved it, like a drug. One taste was enough to get me addicted. She was like a drug. The reason I flew to Italy was to see her and fucking hell, did I see her and her heel in that man's neck. She was more than capable. I was in such a daze, I hardly noticed Ramsay enter the room and leave my suitcase behind. I did, however, see the smirk that was plastered across his face. I did not care. I eventually showered and lay on the bed. My tired eyes begged for sleep and I gave in. This would be the first time I've slept in a while. My dreams were beautiful. Alessia Ferrari. My wife. And maybe she was the one. I finally awoke not knowing the time. When I do sleep, I am to be left undisturbed. No matter the emergency. Fuck that. A guard made the mistake of awaking me once and let's just say he no longer breathes. Glancing at my phone, I saw that it was one in the afte

Chapter: Chapter 8Alessia's POVI absolutely loathed attending Lucious' annual ball. It's full of despicable people, many of whom I held very little respect for. But one thing was for sure, I would have to attend this year because I don't have an excuse. I have never seen fucking Ace attend, not once. Fucking lucky. Lucious was a brawny man, standing at six foot four. His warm brown skin was covered in tacky tattoos. He's been a friend of mine for quite some time and I would trust my life if it were in his hands, which was a very rare thing to say about someone who's not blood. I sent Lucious a dirty look which encouraged him even more. "So I take that as a yes!" He chuckled and sipped more mouthfuls of champagne. I dare not open my mouth for even I'm afraid of what might come out. Sometimes, I have no control over what I say and a majority of times, I cause offence to people. Not that I cared, they can fuck off. I looked over at Ace who was right at home. He seemed ever so relaxed and carefree. I w

Chapter: Chapter 7Ace's POVAlessia returned to Italy for some business she had to take care off. I was a little disheartened when she did indeed leave. She was growing on me much more than I cared to admit. I also had some business to take care off. Many bosses would sit on their thrones and let their advisors run their business for them. But not I. There was something about getting my hands dirty that drove me. It made me hunger for power. That did mean I had little time to myself but when I did, I enjoyed it. I smiled to myself when the thought of taking Alessia out crossed my mind. Would she even want to go out with me? No fuck. I can't think like that. I knew I wasn't compassionate and loveable. Not like Kaden. My heart sank at the possibility of Alessia rejecting me. Perhaps she would stay in Italy and never return. I wasn't good enough for her. I could never be. This marriage was nothing but a piece of paper like she said. I headed for my basement, a large empty room. Soundproof and dark. A

Chapter: Chapter 6Alessia's POVThe next morning was unusual, to say the least. I awoke to the smell of freshly baked pancakes and coffee. I loved coffee. I groaned as I sat upright on the sofa. How uncomfortable. But I didn't expect to be taken to bed, fuck if he touched me, I'd have killed him. "Good morning sunshine," Ace called out from across the kitchen. I blinked hard while stretching. Where the fuck was I? Oh right... I stood up, ignoring him. I headed upstairs to the bedroom I stayed in last night. Or more like didn't stay in. Upon getting dressed into a casual pair of skinny jeans and a T-shirt I tucked in, I went downstairs. KC was a lifesaver and brought me some clothing last night. But that bitch disappeared on me last night. When I walked back into the kitchen, I sat down on the island opposite Ace. He looked so fucking calm. "Not a morning person." He raised a brow at me. I narrowed my eyes. "Coffee. Now." I snapped my fingers at the maid who was making breakfast. "And no, I'm not a

Chapter: Chapter 5If the wedding wasn't suffocating enough, I had to attend the after party. After all it was my wedding. However, I would rather be anywhere but at Ace's house with a majority of people I wholeheartedly disliked and didn't give two shits about. I stood around still in my wedding dress keeping to myself. Father was deep in conversation with Ace's parents and I watched perpelexed as he seemed to have laughed more than he has in the past month. The wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes creased deeply with every smile. Kaden was keeping me company because Ace disappeared to fuck knows where. I hardly cared. Kaden returned with two glasses of champagne, one of which he handed to me. I gladly took it from him and drank it in one. He furrowed his eyebrows. "You good Alessia?" He asked. I smiled as I handed my empty glass to a waiter. "I'm absolutely perfect." I said as the smile on my face fell. "I just want to leave. I'm exhausted and starving." I sighed, dropping my facade. Kaden
