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.In 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 colors." I pressed my legs on the floor in anger as I thought of her. Still, in a rage, an image of Adrian flashed on 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 the s
Chapter 1. An attempt to save a drunk man. Adrian's pov. It was a bright morning and I scurried out of my room as I wore my clothing, I was in such a hurry not to miss my literature lecture that morning, as I was lagging in the course badly and my final examination was coming soon, I didn't want to cry a bitter tear and stay an extra year in the school. "Mom! I'm off to school!" My voice rang all around the less wealthy home I lived in with my mom and brother. Though our house was less wealthy, it had modesty, humbleness, and love in it. Even though the house was smaller and needed some repairs like the linking roof, and it also didn't have all the latest conveniences, that doesn't mean it's not filled with love and comfort. It was way cozier and more inviting for us since we had each other's back in everything. I am Adrian Williams, a 21-year-old white-skinned lady, people say that I am beautiful, but who cares about that when all I wanted and needed presently was money to foot
Chapter 2. What will I look like, as a lecturer? Raphael O'Neill's POV. I sat still on the floor in shock as I looked at my savior who was also on the floor beside me, she was not moving, and I felt my heart skipping a beat. "Is she dead?" I wondered. I crawled closer to her with my eyes already cleared from the intoxicating wine I drank, I was already sober. "Girl, hey!" I called out. I withdrew, staring at her with bug-out eyes, now in astonishment, I was sure that the car never hit her, the driver must be a good driver as he had diverted the car to the other side of the road just in time and we escaped him. I only managed to snatch out of shock and took a chill pill when the lady jolted to her feet. "Are you okay?" She questioned me, then she helped me up to my feet. I was unable to answer her as my eyes were glued to the beauty in front of me. Her face was not visible when she was on the floor, but when she raised her head, my thoughts suddenly became messed up with just the
Chapter 3. Our new lecturer. Adrian pov. It was a Monday morning, I was dressing up in my small, and poorly furnished room, whose painting on the walls was already peeling. The room had stained and worn-out linoleum floors, and it had a few pieces of furniture, which were just my wooden bed reading table, and chair, the room was filled with the smell of cheap detergent. The lighting was a harsh fluorescent which was almost broken as cracks were obvious around it. I tried to make the room look better by adding a few decorations around it and covering the windows in cheap linens, which added a little bit of beauty to the room also, I made the room so neat. I finished dressing up and left my room to the mini dining room, which had just four wooden chairs neatly arranged around a cracked and crippled dinner table in the dining room and a few dishes were placed on the table. Mom was already seated, with Galton, my younger brother, they were waiting patiently for me to join them for b
Chapter 4. Confused. Study or money? Adrian pov. I left the lecture room, looking so nervous as I fiddled with my fingers, my heart was beating too fast as I walked towards the office of the new lecturer. If meeting up with him was not so important, then I would have been planning an escape route by now, and I wouldn't have been so nervous. I was nervous about a lot of things and the dominant of all the things was that I feared what he would think of me after seeing my failures, he must hate me immediately and for the fact that he easily fished me out of the multitude of students meant something. "Adrian!" I heard myself being called on and I halted. I turned back and saw Ryan running up to meet me. "Ryan," I muttered in relief when he got to me, he crouched to the floor with his hands holding his knees as he tried to catch his breath. At least, there is someone that calmed me down a little. I told myself, then questioned him, "What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in
Chapter 5. The handsome stranger. Adrian pov. I woke up on a Saturday morning, as usual, I was dressed for work and was eating a quick breakfast of roasted steak with my family. "You should rest more Adrian, I will foot all our bills, that's why I'm your mother," Mom told me. I glanced at her before returning my gaze to my plate of steak without saying a word. I didn't know why she would not just let everything be as it was, we all know that she can't foot the bills alone, she needed help and since there was no dad, I took the responsibility upon myself. "I know you regret having me as your mother, I know I'm useless." "Enough Mom!" I shouted at her, banging the table loudly, "How many times do we want to talk about this? Didn't I tell you that I'm okay? I am not complaining, am I?" I listed out the questions for her with my heart rising and falling like I was just done with a marathon. "But Adrian....." I cut her off, "You know what Mom? I lost my appetite." I finalized and
Chapter 6. Test her for me. Lincoln's POV. I watched silently as the lady I hit scurried away. "Hmm! So interesting." I thought. "Sir, what should we do with her?" One of my guards questioned me. I stared at the cheque with me and chuckled coldly, no one had ever rejected my generosity before, not like I love being generous in the first place. A part of me hated the fact that she rejected my money and another part liked it, she was proving to be different, feisty. "Leave her for now til I come up with an idea, let her feel like she has won, allow her to rock the crown for now til I'm ready to break her." I replied to my guard coldly and squeezed the cheque in my hand before trashing it, "But I would like to know everything about her." I completed my speech and began to leave the hospital with the guards trailing behind me. "Okay, sir." The guard I was speaking with answered. "Adrian," I muttered out her name, tasting the name on my tongue, the name was such a nice name
