Chapter 38.Finally his!Raphael's POV.I stared at the lady that was before me, she seemed lost as she stared at me and I was beginning to get irritated by her, "Hey! Will you snap out of it?!" I snapped at her and booed. She was not even that beautiful."Oh!" She was embarrassed, "I'm sorry sir, it's just that I want you have a word with you. I'm one of your students. Our class test is next week." She said. I was disgusted. Was she here for me to tell her what my question would be? Or she was just pulling that up as an excuse to see more of me? I don't know the answers to my thoughts and I was not ready to answer them either, I just wanted to leave her presence without looking back."There is nothing to hear from me, Miss. Just do what I told you in class and you will be okay and would pass the test," I told her.She chuckled as she nodded, "Have you seen Adrian today, sir?" Her question was sudden and I tilted my head to the side to stare at her petite figure, "What's your name?""
Chapter 39.Galton's dressing sense.Adrian's POV.I kept on smiling every second throughout my day in school, almost losing concentration on the day's lecture. Immediately when it was the end of class, I carried my bag and left the hall without looking back. I was anticipating the date and the part when he said that I would not be going home tonight. Is the date lasting throughout the night? I wondered. I got no answer to my questions and just continued with my journey out of the school gate.I got to the school gate, about to go out of the school when I received a message from Dr. Raphael. "I can see you leaving right now. Don't forget, 5:00 PM. I love you." I smiled at the message and turned back to search for him. I saw him leaning on the nearest building to the school gate. He can't easily be seen but I knew he was the one. I smiled shyly and tucked my hair behind my ears before turning to the gate and leaving the school.I stopped a taxi and told the driver the name of the estat
Chapter 40.The date.Raphael's POV.I stared at the young man, who was Adrian's brother, as he spewed words to my face, and just apologized. He was right after all. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make her cry, though I know that it's my fault, I should have tried harder to talk to her." He sized me up from head to toe."Fine! Apology accepted, but I'm just letting you go because you're handsome, though I'm more handsome and Adrian accepted you. Else, I will make sure that you won't be a step closer to her!" He said icily. His words didn't get to me but I cringe, I pretended to cringe and just allow him to have the satisfaction that he was getting to me. I didn't see myself hurting Adrian intentionally, so none of his words affected me but if I hurt her again, I would let him have his way which I'm sure is not possible."Galt, come on. You should stop it, he can't hurt me and you're just causing him to be uncomfortable." He turned to Adrian and cupped her cheeks."I'm just making sure yo
Chapter 41.Their first night together.🔞🔞🔞🔞Adrian's POV.The date ended with us staring at the stars and the beautiful city from the rooftop. That was the best day of my life, no kidding, it was way beyond the way I imagined it to be and I couldn't help smiling, my happiness was glaring in my smile, though I still had a lot of questions to ask him. I turned to him, just to meet his eyes, he had been staring at me since we exited the restaurant. We were in his car, going home and he held me in his arms with his suit jacket around me, he used it to shield me from the coldness as the night was cold, and his tie too was lying lazily on the chair, beside him. He just was on his shirt with three buttons released and the sleeves were pulled to his elbow. He was looking hot."You're beautiful." He muttered for the thousandth time that night and every second he said it always feels new and tickling. I love how his words made me feel and I love him. I stared away from his eyes and I felt
Chapter 42.Will you love me still?Adrian's POV.I woke up the next morning to kisses on my face and I smiled. "Good morning." I greeted him with my eyes still closed and I felt myself being pulled under him and my eyes were forced to open as I laughed, "Raphael!""Today is indeed a good morning, I get to wake up to see your beautiful eyes, beautiful face, and beautiful body. I wish this will last forever." He told me and the next minute, his hands were all over me and I realized that we were both naked under the cover.I tried to remember how things ended last night, but all I knew was that I passed out when I couldn't endure the pain anymore. I slapped his chest, "You're so bad, you almost killed me last night."He chuckled softly, "I know and I'm sorry. What will you say if I tell you that I want you right now?" Before I could talk, I felt his finger entering me and I moaned. Gosh! He was so manipulative, but I was not going to give in, I had to go to school."Raphael, stop!" That
Chapter 43.Suspended and fired.Adrian's POV.I got to the boardroom and for the first time in my life, I came face-to-face with the owner of the four corners of the school and the directors. My legal advisor too was present, and he had a disappointed look which gave me some chills that I messed up. I didn't know what to say when I stood before them, so I just waited and allowed them to do the talking. "Watch this!" One of the directors' voices rang around the school and I shivered.I turned to the big projector behind me and what I saw there got me frozen. It was a video of me, kissing Raphael in the library. It happened just yesterday and I quivered. Someone must have sneaked on us and taken that video without us noticing, and now, what I was avoiding was happening."What do you have to say about this? Or should I ask you, what do you think this implies?" I didn't know who said it, I couldn't turn to them, my eyes were glued to the projector even after the video, and I was staring
Chapter 44.I'm still her lecturer.Raphael's POV.I was so happy to be fired from the school, I was even looking for a way to get away from there at first because I could not stay in the school and pretend as if I didn't know Adrian. I know that I couldn't do that, sooner or later, we would be detected and I was happy we were detected this soon. Though Adrian was suspended, it was worth it, I had even pleaded guilty, and I still remember what I told the deen and the rest, "Adrian Williams is a girl that caught my attention and I made sure to seduce her. It was hard to get her to kiss me but I eventually did and I don't regret it."And the Vice Counsellor had shouted, "You're fired!"Every time I remember that, I always feel happy and proud of myself, I was happily defending my love for Adrian which got me fired, but I'm sure if they knew who I was, they would have helped me to organize a bigger party where I would be able to shout it to the whole world that I love her.I was still wa
Chapter 45.What was Linc thinking?Adrian's POV.I woke up and remained on the bed with my eyes glued to the ceiling and a smile stretching my lips from side to side as I remembered what Dr. Raphael did to me after the words about masturbation. He had dropped the book that we were supposed to work on and taught me something else about biology and reproductive organs. He taught me differently from how I knew it and during practical, we ended up having a very juicy sex and I can't help but look forward to more. He also told me yesterday that he loves bad girls, but not a flirt. He loved it when his girls took over during sex and he told me to get ready because I would be in that position soon, and that was exactly why I was still in bed, I was scared that today might be the day.The door of my room opened and I snapped my eyes to it to see Galton entering the room, "Hey, sis." He walked closer to me and stood by the side of my bed."Hey?" I knew he was here for help, such a big baby."
Epilogue.Months later...Author's POV.Adrian was in the hospital, staring into space and that was how she had been for the past months. Always staring into space, thinking.Things had happened those past months, and Natalia couldn't be revived. She died while saving her daughter, leaving Adrian and Galton orphans.Lincoln Lime was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, and all his property was given to Adrian as compensation, though she rejected it, giving the government a chance to own the properties til further notice.Galton was very hurt by the death of Natalia, and he was adopted by Raphael, even though he was of age, he wanted it.Ryan and Beatrice also got married and Beatrice was pregnant."Adriana." Adrian was called out of thought by Raphael, and she turned to him with a thin smile on her lips."Hey, you're back."Raphael had gone to grab her a basket of fruits as she craved."Yes," He leaned to her forehead and pecked her with his hand caressing her protruding stoma
Chapter 120.The end Adrian's POV.We have been hidden here for more than enough days and I haven't seen Mom no matter how I tried.The proposal Lincoln wanted to make with me just went by like that because I couldn't choose one, I couldn't lose my Mom, neither could I lose my baby whom I just know about.I love them both. So much.So I chose none and he left me then.Since that day, I haven't seen Lincoln, and I have been locked in the room. The only time I saw people was when I wanted to eat, they would bring food for me to eat.Today, like every day, the door opened, but this time, unlike every day, it was Lincoln who entered, and unlike every other time, when he would come by just to tease me and try to kiss me or seduce me.He tried to touch me just once, and after that, he left me, but today, he came into the room looking so annoyed.Lincoln grabbed my arm and began to pull me out of the room, "Lincoln, I..."He's cut me off with a snap, "Shut up and follow me!"I had to shut m
Chapter 119.Realizing where they are.Raphael's POV.I rushed to meet up with the investigator as they returned from their investigation, "Any news?" "No, Mr O'Neill, not yet." He replied to me.My body grew cold and my inside turned crisp like a nipping fall was happening inside of me. I was not okay, and the only thing stopping me from running mad was an unknown call that would say that Adriana was dead.I bet I would die immediately. It was very certain."What's your job if you can't find a little missing person? One got missing, we were thinking of escaping her, now another, and all you could tell us is that you can't locate them?"We've been waiting impatiently for words from you, and now that the words come, all you have to answer to us with is no? Why? It's days and do you have any idea of what that bastard is doing to my Mom and my sister, especially my sister? "If she's your sister, won't you locate her even if you have to enter the ground to find her? Are you playing shi
Chapter 118.Sorrow mixed with happiness.Adrian's POV.I couldn't let him go to my Mom, I ran to him when he was walking away and fell on my knees in front of him while weeping.I held onto his legs and cried, "Please, kill me and let my Mom go. She did nothing wrong and think of the good times when she would support you and fight for you."Think of the times my Mom would hit me because I treated you badly and spare her because she did nothing wrong to you. I am the one that wronged you. I chose Raphael over you and I should be punished. Please kill me and let my Mom go."Lincoln squinched in front of me and wiped my tears with his thumb, "You will be my gain in all these things I'm doing, so if I kill you for your Mom, what will be my gain? Nothing."I shook my head still, "Please don't hurt my Mom.""How will you believe me if I tell you I won't? You don't believe me when I told you at first.""Then let me see her, I have to be sure that she's okay, please." He twisted his lips, s
Chapter 117.Kidnapped.Adrian's POV.I know it was very bad of me to sneak out of the room and away when I could have waited behind and told what I wanted to do to Raphael, but I couldn't wait anymore for his judgment, he was taking too long to take a step and help to locate my Mom.I had pretended to be asleep after calming down from the shock of Millar's death and for the fact that I could have prevented her death, maybe if I was fast enough to stop her the other day she came to me, I would have saved her.Or maybe if I pretended that she was my friend as she said when she arrived, I should have saved her.However, the truth remains that she was dead, and I couldn't save her, but there was my Mom who needed me. She was in the custody and must be suffering. I would have been calm that my Mom would be fine since Lincoln had her, but he was bold enough to kill his girlfriend, so who is my Mom that he couldn't kill? So I had to leave to do what I could to save my Mom.When I was gett
Chapter 116.Why my brother?Raphael's POV.I managed to lure Adriana to sleep because she kept on shivering and reminding me that Millar was good.That was yet, another one of our difficult times.I gently closed up the door behind me, making sure to keep her in and to make sure not to wake her. I returned to the sitting room.I met Galton, Ryan and Karla sitting down in different thoughts, they sat on different sofas."Do you find something else?" I questioned randomly.Ryan raised his head to stare at me and he shook his head, "Nothing yet. The guards haven't returned since you left."He rubbed his hands together and was deep in thought, "Last time we saw Millar, it was two days ago when Andy went to the mall to buy her dress. Millar seemed to have something up her sleeve to be keeping from us, and she wanted to tell us, but_"He cut himself off and sighed."But what?" I moved closer to him, "Anything is useful right now Ryan.""But we didn't allow her to talk. You know Millar is a
Chapter 115.Millar is dead.Raphael's POV.I sat on the bed with everyone, they were all ready to see what the manager sent to me, it was the CCTV I requested from the manager.I was to play it but paused, "What are we expecting in this video?" I questioned them all."To see who lured Mom out," Galton replied to me."To know if Mrs Williams is kidnapped or something else happened to her," Beatrice muttered too."Let's just check it and see what's there to see, I want to know if my Mom is around and can be located immediately. There might be a location somewhere, she cannot be kidnapped without a reason." Adriana snapped at me.She spoke with pain lacing her voice like she knew that I was trying to defend my brother, like she knew that I was trying to believe that my brother could not do something like that.Like I was waiting for them to change their mind and stop focusing on Lincoln and tainting him evil when he was not.I signed, feeling defeated. "Fine."I pressed the play button
Chapter 114.After party enjoyment ruined.Raphael's POV.Adriana and I got up and managed a quick shower. We dressed up as quickly as we could, and we went out of the room.I met my guards outside, "Where's Galton?" I questioned them.One moved forward and replied to me, "He left for the mansion with ma'am Karla. I think they're searching for Mrs Mom.""On my gosh! Raphael, it's true." Adriana broke down in tears.My eyes moistened when I saw her tears. I almost felt useless that just a day after our wedding, I was already breaching my promise to her.I promise to protect her and her family, and now, this.I blinked my tears away and picked up my wife in a bridal style, "Let's go to the mansion to see what's going on there." I told her and she replied with a nod, with tears dripping slowly from her eyes.We left the hotel for the mansion, and throughout our journey, I just kept patting my wife's back with her in my arms.I was silently telling her that all would be okay.Whereas, I d
Chapter 113.After-party enjoyment.Raphael's POV.The party was over to some extent, and Adriana and I had to leave. I held Adriana in my arms and beckoned to Galton."We will be leaving now," I told him."Yeah, leaving immediately for your honeymoon." He chuckled."Can't we just wait til tomorrow? I'm very tired right now." Adriana whined out."No, sis, can't do."Galton walked away from us.Adriana turned to me, "Why don't you try to stop him? He will listen to you." I smiled at her, "I support everything he says but today, I'll consider my wife first."She gave me a beautiful smile and hugged me. "I love you, dear husband.""I love you, my sweet wife.""Let's get lost before Galton returns."She nodded and laughed.I picked her up from the floor in a bridal style and escaped through the backdoor and straight to the private elevator that whirled us to the penthouse.We entered and I locked the door, bolting it and keeping us secured."Even if they find us here, they won't be chanc
