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
Chapter 61.Off to partying.Adrian's POV.It was the day of my graduation but it looked like the day of my marriage since my room was filled to the brim with some makeover artists who were sent by Raphael and Dr Frederick was present too. He was to do the final test and to make sure that I was perfectly okay to go on with the celebration of the day."Your system is working perfectly and I think you're perfectly okay, but don't stress yourself and if you want to cry, cry religiously," Like he knew that something was happening today that would make me cry. Even Mom and Galton were acting like it and I was the only one in the dark. "Avoid anything that would stress your within, or you might bleed or worse, lose your womb." He warned.That thought of losing the womb was frightening, if lose my womb, who will then birth Raphael's children? Oh no! It has to be me. "Don't worry doctor, I'll take care of myself.""Very good," He got busy with typing on his pad and I decided to use that mediu
Chapter 62.A day to remember.Adrian's POV.Galton led me into the school after we highlighted from the car, and my journey to the auditorium was such a boring one and that was because Galton was busy flirting with the girls while I was busy with my thoughts. Inside the auditorium for the award and the certificate giving, there were seats for the finalists by a side which was all occupied and I was unable to see a space because the program had begun and we were at the back."Oh! Miss Williams, you made it!" Someone motioned to me and came closer to me with a smile.I don't think I've seen her before, but I was guessing she should be a lecturer or maybe a non-teaching staff. I returned her smile, "Hi ma'am.""Oh, no!" She waved off my greetings, "Come on, I will show you to your seat." She took my hand from Galton's and led me down the stairs.I turned to Galton, wanting to tell him to see me after the celebration in the auditorium, but I saw him moving to one of the visitors' seats
Chapter 63.Heartbreak again!Adrian's POV.I was astonished when I saw Lincoln on a knee before me with a ring box stretched forward to me. What's happening? A guess could tell of it, but no, I don't want to!"What the fuck is going on here?! Lincoln?!" Galton yelled out and I bet he was equally surprised. I turned to him, wasn't he part of this plan? I wondered and the glare he was casting at Lincoln responded to my unasked question. Maybe he was thinking of another thing entirely.The hall had become so dead silent to me, though murmuring might be echoing underneath my silence but I was too deaf to hear anything."Galton!" Mom's thunderous voice called, "Stay out of this and you're a child, don't meddle in the adult's affairs!" She warned him with her finger pointing out.Galton's anger spread around his face and he pulled out his bow tie angrily, throwing it to the floor, "I...." With the amount of anger in him, I knew he was going to say something he might regret later, so I had
Chapter 64.A day so tough.Raphael's POV.The day I've been dreading all my life since I started to regret ever involving Lincoln in my plan is finally here, the day Lincoln would stab me in the back and Adriana would find out about the fact that I know Lincoln and I'm the person that included him in our love story.My initial plan was to propose to Adrian and tell her everything, including who I really am and then get married to her immediately maybe in a day or two, but Lincoln had his plans too and I watched in shock as everything unfolded and when Adrian ran out of the hall, I stomped towards Lincoln and pulled him away from the discussion with Adrian's Mom."Is that not Dr Raphael? Why is he pulling Lincoln Lime like that? I bet he'll end up behind the bars!" The students murmured among themselves and I responded to them with a badly carved glare which got them cringing."Stay back!" I had shouted at his guards who were trying to stop me, and he nodded at them too, so they staye
Chapter 65.Forgiven.Adrian's POV.I was sitting on the street bench with my face resting on my palms. I had cried and no tears were in store to shed again, my heart ached and the thing I couldn't do was to go home, I was not ready to see anyone who knew me, not my family, not Raphael, not Lincoln. If there is somewhere I would go after here, it had to be a place none of the people could find me.I stared at the passerby but my mind was so far from them, my head hurt, and so did my inside, I felt weak and I almost felt like dying, I almost couldn't feel my soul in my body, like I was dying and the night cold was not helping the matter, I was freezing.I have to go indoors else, I might freeze to death. I thought and I stood up from the bench, I stared at my gown that was making me look like a homeless person, the down part was torn out and that was done by me because it was stopping me from running as much as I wanted to, it was tangling with my legs. My legs too were barefooted, I h
Chapter 66.Away from everything.Galton's POV.I couldn't sleep throughout the whole night, I kept on trying Adrian's number, 'Where can she be? Is she okay and fine?' I kept on questioning myself and pacing through the room. At first, her number was ringing and she was not picking it up, but now, it is switched off, or better still, not reachable.Mom was not giving me a rest of mind too, she had been knocking at my door every hour, telling me to open up and my question to her had always been the same, 'Is Adrian back?' A question she was still finding very difficult to answer, which got me knowing that Adrian is still not found.I picked up a T-shirt from my wardrobe and threw it on before unlocking my door and walking out of the room with my phone still in my hand, trying Adrian's line.I got to the sitting room and found Mom being consoled by Lincoln Lime. Anger surged through me and I threw my phone in my pocket before stomping on them. "What the hell are you doing here?!" My v
