Chapter 50.Ryan's confession.Adrian's POV.I got myself out of Ryan's grip and turned to Galton, "You should leave with the driver.""Yeah, I'm not planning on staying and I will get to flaunt the car in school. Just imagine how many crushes I'll be having now," He smirked and came closer to Ryan and me, "Hey man, it's been a very long time ago, your face is so scarce."They shook hands before chuckling and pulling each other into an embrace, "It's weird, but I missed you." Ryan teased."And I missed going to school on your bike, there are still a lot of girls in my school that want you if someone I know doesn't." Galton sprinted his eyes in my direction.I had to turn back to see if there was anyone behind me, but their laughter got me turning back to them with a glare, noticing that they were making fun of me. "Seem you will love to trek to school instead of using the car."They stopped laughing, "What?" Galton questioned unbelievably."The driver would listen to me more than you,
Chapter 51.A day to remember.Adrian's POV.I turned around in shock as I tried to find out about the person who owned the voice that interrupted us. That person must know a lot about me and Raphael's relationship and it was not a good thing. I thought."Miller!" I called her in astonishment as I turned to behold her. How could it be Miller of all people? Someone who had been searching earnestly for my downfall and it was as if she had been given a stepping stone to climb higher. I chuckled nervously, "What are you talking about?" I made to stop her daringly, but Ryan beat me to it. "Yes, what are you talking about? Are you jobless now to be eavesdropping on people's conversations?" He stood with his chest out to Miller, he was ready to defend me and to trash Miller out with his words. I would have loved to watch the display and everything, if only Miller was not right, if only she was bluffing."Now, I just realized that you're a fool, Ryan. I don't even know that the truth is hidd
Chapter 52.Impatient.Raphael's POV.I stood transfixed on the spot Adriana left me, I mean what just happened? Just in the morning, we were cool and everything was going fine and now, when I was thinking that I couldn't hold the secret I was hiding from her anymore, I rushed down to the school to see her and tell her about it, but I was met with something else, she was being humiliated and shamed. Was that why she said those words to me? She didn't mean any of the words right? Oh gosh! I wiped my face with my palms as sweat was already forming on my forehead, what if Lincoln went behind my back and told her all about the secret? Maybe that was why she was saying all those things to me. No, no! She'll hate me forever.I turned to the direction she took and thought of going after her, but decided against it, I had to settle the things in the school first, no one should be allowed to humiliate someone I love.I ignored the students and their murmuring among each other which they could
Chapter 53.Raphael's weak point.Raphael's POV."...... She's the fucking girl I want to marry!" Lincoln became calm immediately."What?" The question came out weak from Lincoln and I became calm too.I didn't mean to say out my intention of marrying Adrian, but saying it to him too was cool, at least he would know that the way I saw Adrian was way beyond his and that I was not ready to let her go. She's mine."Yes Lincoln, I love her and I'm planning on marrying her. I've made up my mind to propose to her on her graduation day which I am praying she would say yes to." I explained to Lincoln.His lips went agape, "You're proposing to her on her graduation?""Yes. Is there a problem?" I had to question him since he was not looking cool with it, it was like he had not gotten over her like he should. "Lincoln, what's wrong?"He massaged his temple and sat down at his table, "I .... I.....," He cleared his throat, then continued, "Um..... You know that it's just shocking... Yeah, shockin
Chapter 54.Talkative but smart Doctor.Adrian's POV.I woke up to see Galton in my room, he was lying on the mini couch in there and he was sleeping so uncomfortably. I sighed and tried to get out of bed which I succeeded in doing, though very slowly as my body felt so heavily weighted that I had to hold on to things to move. I went to the restroom to ease myself and when I was done, I went back to the room and tapped Galton to wake up and he jolted. "Hey, do you need anything? Are you hungry? How are you feeling now?" He bombarded me with questions."Get on the bed Galton, I bet the couch is not convenient, and it's still at night, also, I'm fine, I just want to sleep more." I went back to the bed which he followed.I laid down on it and Galton did the same, he then helped my head on his chest and began to pat my back to help me to sleep quickly. I dozed off again.★★★I woke up to see Galton gone, but when I sat up, he came in with a salver filled with food and Mom was trailing b
Chapter 55.Fighting for her.Lincoln's POV.I have been sitting down quietly and just like I promised Raphael that I would let Adrian go, I wanted to do it, let her go and allow her to enjoy her life with him without a third wheel, at least if there would be a third wheel, it shouldn't be me, but my heart was not listening to me, it was telling me to fight for my right and that is just it, Adrian was not married to Raphael yet and she was nobody's. Raphael won a one with her heart and I won a one with the heart of her mom, so it was win-win and anyone that got her successfully to the altar was the winner.Natalia had called me last night about Adrian's sickness and I had promised her that I would check up on her which I was doing now. I dressed up nicely in a white long-sleeve shirt and white pants which I tucked the shirt into. I styled my hair and stared at my handsome self in the mirror. Why couldn't Adrian see how handsome I am? Am I not much more good-looking than Raphael? What
Chapter 56.Deen Daniel's weirdness.Adrian's POV.The day of my first examination was here and even though I was not perfectly okay, I had to go to school to write my paper and just as though I was being targeted, the paper was literature. I was prepared for it, so I wasn't in any way scared, I just wanted to go into the hall, write my paper and leave ASAP. I didn't want any student's words on me, I wanted to go to the hall to write and leave like a ghost.I was dressed and ready, but was still in my room, and why is that? Just because I was avoiding my Mom, she wouldn't stop questioning me about the misunderstanding between Lincoln and me, which I was not ready to talk about and neither Lincoln, he was not ready to say it to my Mom, I wonder how she would feel after realizing that her daughter was almost raped by the same guy that was disguising himself to be good.Lincoln had also become a regular visitor in the house, showing his face almost every second just to 'see and talk' to
Chapter 57. Miller's hatred. Millar's POV. After the day's exam, I sat in my room, my fingers tapping impatiently on my desk. The mere thought of Adrian made my blood boil. I had never met someone so infuriating, so utterly undeserving of the good things that came her way. As I stared at the wall, my mind filled with dark thoughts."Why does she get everything?" I muttered to myself. "She's so fake, always pretending to be nice. But I know her true colours." I pressed my legs on the floor in anger as I thought of her. Still, in a rage, an image of Adrian flashed in my mind, a reminder of the source of my anger. My jaw clenched as I imagined all the ways I could make her pay for what she did to me. She took Ryan away from me and still has the guts to get the lecturer and deen on her side. How dare she?! "I wish she die!" I whispered venomously. "She should just disappear from my life, from everyone's life. I'm sure no one would miss her." My gaze turned to the window, watching t
