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
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
