Chapter 103.She said yes!Adrian's POV.I had been watching the strange attitudes that were rising within Raphael, the ceased that squeezed up the flesh on his forehead, his thin lips that spoke of danger ahead and his clenched hands that told me that a battle was going on in his head.I wanted to comfort him, to stretch forward and pull his head on my shoulder for ease to whatever he was battling with.To tell him 'All is well.'I wanted to hold his hands and squeeze them to remind him that he was not alone, that I could be a knight too, but he caught himself before I could make a move.He pulled out something in his pocket and asked me to marry him.I chuckled. What think of a joke is that? Are we in the karaoke or the cinema? Are we clowns? Jokers? What kind of joke? And in the car to his interview?That was funny and it hurt at the same time, but who am I to blame him? It was Galton's fault, who wanted me to try on a different taste of makeover.Who was I to complain to him that
Chapter 104.His heart.Raphael's POV.My heart was bubbling, it felt like it went for a vacation of jolly filled with merriment and joy. It was dancing with its beats like steps tapping the dance floor as it got lost in the harmony of the song with the dance.It took me to the place I should be, in a crowd with smiling faces jiggling with words of congratulations.A longing wish came true yet again. The world was happy for me.The engagement with Gianna was nothing compared to this, it was done in a private restaurant which had just myself and Gianna as its customers.It was under a perfectly harmonious melody, and I asked her the question, which she replied with moist eyes. She cried, but I didn't, though I was happy then too.But right now, I felt like crying with how much happiness was occupying my heart like a balloon that was compressing air in it, just like that. My stomach was tightening like a fastened seatbelt and my lips quivered, unable to be able to explain what I was fe
Chapter 105.Being who I wanted her to be.Raphael's POV.As I spilt those words, I was expecting her shock and disagreement, but instead, she pushed herself into me more than she had and wrapped her hands around my shoulders.She leaned to my ears and whispered her reply, "I'll say let's get married tomorrow or two days."It was I that was stricken with the shock, "What?" It came out as a weak question."What?" Hers was sharp."You just display how eager you are to get me wrapped. I thought I was the eager one.""Not when all girls want you now. They were not there when we were suffering_" I cut into her words."I was never poor to suffer."She hit my chest, "Not that type of suffering. We both suffered mentally and psychologically and suffered some cold nights. Apart. Alone."They were not there when I was in a secret relationship with my lecturer when he got fired, and I was stricken with worries about how he would fend for himself."They were not there when we lost our baby. They
Chapter 106. He hated his brother's girlfriend.Raphael's POV.It was Lincoln who called me.I turned fully to him, "Hey, you're here. Thought you wouldn't make it after you missed the interview.""I didn't miss the interview. I watched it live, and the way you broadcasted us as brothers was cool."I chuckled and nodded before my eyes moved to the lady holding firmly to his arm.I didn't spare her more than a glance before questioning Lincoln, "Who's she?" I nudged towards her direction."Oh yeah," He pointed at her, "This is Millar, my girlfriend."That name rang a bell in my head, but I put no mind to it, what caught my attention most was the fact that he was in a relationship with another person that was not Adriana. Lincoln was over my love! He moved on!I smiled and could finally be at rest, "You're doing well man." I patted his shoulder.He chuckled."So, you're engaged, I see."I nodded, "Yeah, and soon will be off the unmarried men, leaving you to it." That was a joke, so we
Chapter 107.I would destroy her.Lincoln's POV.I threw my phone to the walls as soon as I set my feet into the penthouse of my hotel located here in London.I only managed to keep the pains in my within til I got to the penthouse.When I was in the car, my hands were fidgeting so that I couldn't hold anything, not even my phone, and so, my legs, wobbled, if I had worn another footwear that was not as housing as sneakers, I bet my legs could have slipped off I held my head and my eyes itched with unshed tears, 'Why is this happening to me? Why must Raphael have everything I desire? Just why?'My fingers snaked into my hair and clenched it, and I shut my eyes, unable to hide in the pain I was feeling in my heart. My heart was screaming with each side of it, fighting against each other. It was broken into pieces and I hated to be like this.I began to feel great pain from my scarp, which I was pulling my hair from, but at that time, the pain was nothing to me. It was merely compared
Chapter 108.I want her back.Lincoln's POV.I would have her killed if she wanted Adrian dead because soon, whether the world likes it or not, I would be claiming back what was rightfully mine.I remembered I told Raphael that I was dating Millar and I sighed.I lied to Raphael so that he wouldn't see me as a rival or threat. Anytime I attacked him for my bride, I would take him by surprise like I loved doing."You surely are," Millar finally answered my questions, "But this piece of clothing is close to nothing. A little pull and it would be out.""And who will pull it out? You?" I let out a dry chuckle which had no humour in it, "Oh, please! Except if you've written your will and goodnight letter to your parents."A flicker of fear arose on her face, which I caught before her face could return to the dry, seductive one."So, you know Adrian." She changed the topic, and I could bet it was for her good since the topic was creating a dark side in me.If that dark side had been success
Chapter 109.Millar's little display.Adrian's POV.It was my marriage eve with Raphael, and I was in my room, lonely on the bed.Mom had prohibited Raphael from seeing me immediately after we were done with the engagement. She said she would make sure that Raphael didn't catch a gleam of me so that my wedding night would be special as it would be obvious that Raphael would miss me.Now, I was the one missing Raphael. 'It's not fair.'I was in my bed, doing nothing serious, just under the covers and staring into space like it was the most interesting thing at the moment.The door of my room opened, and I peeped at who came it. It was Mom, and Karla trailed behind her.They both gasped at once, "Why are you still in bed? We thought you could have dressed up and got ready for your gown selection."I groaned with my hands tucking under the pillow in their own will, "I'm tired." I replied to them grumpily.They both laughed and joined me in bed, fixing me amiss themselves. "You silly chi
Chapter 110.Jealous of their friendship.Adrian's POV.We pushed Millar's thoughts off our minds and we made to enter the store together when Ryan gasped, "What am I doing with the ladies? Ain't I supposed to be with the men?"We busted into a laugh, "You just prove yourself a womanizer." Beatrice told him.Ryan gave her a frown, "No, no, we both know that's a lie. You're the only one I love and you know it.""You wish, anyways, run along before you get addicted to staying here with us and you end up dressing to your friend's wedding in a skirt." Beatrice joked."Oh, oh! I think I love that. I should be her best lady or lady in wardrobe. I will rock it." Ryan began to twitch his body with one of his hands stretched out like a lady.He fixed his short hair stylishly and began to catwalk before us.He turned to us after the little display, "How well was I?"I raised my fingers and gave him an okay sigh with my thumb and index finger pulling together.I made to smile with the gesturing,
