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
Chapter 58.Special things to special people.Adrian's POV.I was not ready to begin to think over unnecessary things, especially the shit that Millar pulled in the chemistry lab and to think that she could be that wicked to her fellow student, all because of a guy who give no shit about her. When I was dragging the chemical with her, which we later found out was water, it had spilt in her eyes and if it had been a real chemical, I bet she would have died immediately or lost her eyes forever, though that would have been a perfect revenge for her because of the girl she injured when she was busy thinking of me.It was a free day and I was alone in the house, Mom went to work while Galton went to school, and I was with the envelope Raphael sent to me through Dr Frederick, I had decided to take a look at its content that day.When I opened it, I saw some dollar notes in it and a letter was neatly tugged between the notes. It read, "Hey babe, how are you doing? I'm sure you're good since
Chapter 59.Another sad moment. Adrian's POV.How time flies......It was the last day of my examination and I was just emerging from the exam centre which was crowded to the brim as my last paper was English language, which was a general course. I was all smiles as I walked majestically, I could boldly say that I did well in all my papers. All of them, which was so relieving and that means that I was already an employee in the R. Neil's group. God bless the person that nominated my name even before writing exams. I was so happy.I kept on chuckling nonstop as I journeyed to the parking lot where the car would be waiting for me. I was a few feet away from the lots when I saw Ryan amidst the crowd, it was not so easy spotting him but I did and I was not even thinking that he would be around at that time, I might have forgotten that he offered English language too, everyone did."Ryan!" I called and began to push through the crowd, trying to push everyone out of my way to get to him, h
Chapter 60.Preparation for a big day.Adrian's POV.I have never been okay since I received the news that I lost my baby and I had been living like a ghost. Dr Frederick had always checked by to run a test on me to know if there were any kind of complications in my body and to see how much I was responding to treatment. His treatment had been the only reason that got me eating, if not I don't know what I would have turned into presently, maybe remain only my skeleton.I was in my room and it was an evening, I was dressed, waiting for Galton to show up. I was dressed because I was going to a spa with Galton, it was all his idea and that was because tomorrow is my graduation from school, I would be a graduate tomorrow. At least, that was worth smiling for.Galton opened the door halfway and popped his head in, "Yo, let's get going."I stood up from the bed and went to him, I was already very tired of trying to talk him out of it because he wouldn't listen. 'Your graduation pictures mus
