Kathie's POV The days blurred together in a whirlwind of lectures, assignments, and the steady rhythm of Bella's presence in our dorm room. Each evening brought a quiet routine: Bella engrossed in her coding projects, me buried in textbooks, both of us occasionally exchanging brief words or glances that seemed to convey more than what was spoken aloud.One particularly exhausting Friday afternoon, after a marathon of classes, I returned to our room feeling drained. Bella was already there, as usual, her focus intent on her laptop screen. I flopped down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling with a sigh."You look beat," Bella remarked, her voice breaking the silence. She glanced over at me with a mixture of concern and curiosity.I managed a weak smile. "Yeah, these lectures are really taking it out of me."Bella nodded sympathetically. "I get it. Want me to make some tea again? It might help you unwind."I hesitated for a moment, touched by her thoughtfulness. "Actually, that sounds p
Lililan's POVThe sight of the three siblings, Tallulah, Marcus and Kathie leaving the house in the sparkling Ferrari threw my mind into tides of thoughts as I wondered how their school would be like and how they would cope now that they would be away from home during the weekends. I wasn't that worried about Marcus since he had already been in school for four years, graduating with a perfect grade. My concern was about the girls, Kathie and Lula. Before I graduated highschool, I had met Tallulah's father and had the affair with him that changed my life forever. My dream of going to college to study a course which would help me do what I loved was destroyed with the sight of that strange but handsome fellow. When I found out I was pregnant and was far from the prevention stage, I kept the secret away from my grandmother who I loved since I had lost my parents when I was just ten years old. Life was already rough for us since she and my uncle struggled to pay the fees and afford my e
Tallulah's POV “Fuck, it's cold.” I voiced, pulling the sheets above my head. The heater had begun saturating the hotel room, and the air freshener had a pleasant smell. I can't believe I'm at a five-star hotel, with a credit card in my purse containing thousands of dollars. And it was all thanks to my mom who got engaged to Mr Winston, a wealthy ship builder. I can't wait to meet my step family. But this was no time to be hiding underneath a blanket, I should be out there celebrating with some drinks at the bar. After all, my days of being broke were over, and my mum was finally getting married after decades of loneliness. •••••• The elevator doors slid open, revealing the passage leading to the hotel's bar which I strode into. But I began having second thoughts when I noticed the crowd of people in the room. Unlike other regular bars, they were all mannered, having small talks, and holding glasses of expensive drinks and wine. The music being played on the speakers was slow and
Tallulah's POV The thought of never seeing him again scared me. He's so handsome and funny that I wished he would take me to the dance every night, and fill my ears with his alluring compliments. But what he asked seemed too much to give. I can't open myself up to him on our first night like a whore. And besides we barely knew anything about each other. His voice regained my attention. “It's just a kiss, that's all.” He whispered, halting in his strides. He does have a point though... What if it was just a harmless kiss? That wouldn't hurt, would it? Like an engine, my heart pounded in pleasure, propelling me forward towards his visage. I slowly pressed my lips against his and pulled back again to see his face. The light emitted from the fluorescent bulb glistened through his hair, with soft brown eyes that peered into my soul. His towering presence made me wet, anticipating his next move. His gaze shifted to my mouth, and slowly, he cupped my chin and our lips interlocked agai
Tallulah's POV He paused to watch me, even after I had given him the permission to fuck me. His soft brown orbs were filled with care, and his touch had become very gentle. He had been so confident since I met him until this moment. It was almost as if he was afraid that he might hurt me. But I didn't want to be treated like an egg. I didn't want him to see me as fragile. I wanted him to plunge his dick into me like he would do to any other woman. I wished he would just shut his mind and fuck me senseless. Yes, it was my first time. And yes, I wanted it to be special. But even if he was the stranger I had met minutes ago, I saw him as the special person I wanted to embark on this adventure with. I gently reached out my hand, caressing his cheeks. My other arm slipped underneath his muscles, pulling me towards him. Then I kissed him sensually, rubbing my nose against his. My nipples touched his chest as our mouths danced together in a perfect order. This kiss wasn't just a lustful
Tallulah's POV “Tallula! It's time to wake up.” My lips spread into a smile as his sweet voice filtered through my ears from behind me. The morning light crept through the curtains, momentarily crippling my senses. I let out a soft yawn as I pulled the sheets over my head, not wanting to wake up. Last night was the best night of my life. The sex was great, but what made it perfect was the way he cleaned me up, making my night full of comfort and rest. He also wrote down a drug prescription which he got from the Internet. We would visit a pharmacist early this morning to buy an after pill to prevent pregnancy. But I had begun to contemplate the idea of letting his sperm grow inside of me so I could have a little him in my womb. “Tallula, it's time to go.” A masculine voice filled the room again, but this time, it was followed by a soft knock. I recognized the voice, and that's definitely not the voice of my prince charming. Why is he knocking at my door? I turned around to see wh
Tallulah's POV They say a single mother and her only daughter are like twin sisters who could read the meaning of every expression on each other's face. That fact had become my weakness. We had been together since my birth and we knew each other's secrets, inside out. I could hide the truth from Kathie and Micheal in plain sight, but not from her. My gaze slightly shifted to where Mark stood, but he wasn't there. It was almost as if he had disappeared, like a ghost. My heart began to pound when I noticed that Kathie's gaze had followed mine up the stairs, and back again. She sighed. “Ignore him. He doesn't seem happy that you're here, but he'll get over it soon.” “Nice first impression, Mark!” She yelled. I began exhaling slowly in an attempt to conceal the change in my expression as my mom stared intently at me. Unknown to me, there was a little flaw in the arrangements I had made to cover up my secret affair. “It must be a fever.” Micheal announced, “She had to stop by the ph
Marcus' POV Two days ago, I was shocked when I received the news; ‘My dad was getting married.’ I know I should've been happy about it, but I wasn't. In fact, I began to hate the woman he would marry even before I met her. It reminded me of the time he fell for a stunning model named Catherine Heather, and they got married after mere months of courtship. Guess how that ended? Two years later, she filed a divorce and took half of his property along with her. That's decades of work all to the drain. And for what? For love, for lust, and for affection. ‘Fucking golddiggers!’ And now, he was about to make the same mistake once again. He just never learns. The most annoying part is that I have to come over to the mansion to welcome those thieves into our home. Just Great. •••••••As I battled with the infuriating thoughts that filled my head, my gaze fell upon the stunning girl at the bartender's counter, where I was headed. ‘Damn, she's hot.’ Her red dress highlighted her perfect p
