Donovan 59
Boma could no longer ignore Fidelis's call. She decided to answer him and get it over with so he would quit. She received the call and placed it over her ear but she said nothing.She adjusted her position on the sofa. Her bum still ached as a reminder of Donovan's brutality."Boma." said Fidelis, his voice gentle. "I'm here." she said faintly."What's going on? You don't sound fine. Did you get my message?""Yes, I did, but l -I don't want to go with the plan anymore. I'm sorry."He paused in thought for a few seconds. "Is it Donovan?" he asked. "What did he do?""Please I'm scared. I'm scared of what he will do to me if he finds out. Please, let's forget it." Boma's voice was frantic and whiny with trepidation.Fidelis was silent for a moment again and she wondered what was going on in his mind. She hoped he understood her situation now."Boma.""Yes.""I know you're scared, but please you have to listen to me. Frat guys are usually like that. They are bad. And my cousin has a wild

At his statement, she realized there was no escaping the party. Anxiety surged within her, and she struggled to keep it under control.She could feel his fingers caressing her ringed finger. He lifted her hand and planted a kiss there. The ride became silent as they continued to the hostel.Boma's mind was pondering her situation. She came to the conclusion that there was no need to worry as much. She recalled that Fidelis had told her to remove her name from the list at her faculty. Now, she wondered if the same list had been posted on the bulletin boards of all the other faculties.Even if it was, perhaps somehow, Donovan would have found out already. Knowing his hot temper, he would not be so calm right now. She resolved to call Fidelis and find out as soon as possible. She could not afford to leave everything to chance and suffer for it later.Soon enough the car parked outside her hostel."Okay, here we are." said Donovan. "We will be waiting here. Meanwhile, expect an apology fr

After his threat, he began to type something into his phone. Boma looked away from him and kept her gaze out of the window. She tried to distract her fears with the sight of pedestrians going about their business but it didn't work. Her mind stayed on her troubles.She was afraid of being claimed by him in the most formal way. She didn't want to be engaged to him, talk less of getting married to him.Maybe if he was gentle and she had met him as a gentle guy, she would have agreed but unfortunately, the opposite was her reality. For that cause, she was even more determined to escape him.She concentrated on her plans, allowing the thought of freedom to calm her down. These days, it was the only thought that calmed her down. She was so grateful to God that she met Fidelis. The irony of it all was that Fidelis was related to Donovan. She still marvelled at the coincidence sometimes.She hoped as Fidelis had suggested that once Donovan discovered she was gone, he would find someone else

Boma was left with no choice other than to endure the intimate moment. Endurance slowly gave way to weakness and acceptance.From acceptance, tiny jolts of desire began to spring forth as his lips kept caressing hers and his hands began to softly glide over her back. He broke the kiss instantly and stared into her lightly dazed eyes. Then he smirked at her and took her hands gently in his. She was still staring at him, surprised by the sudden truncation."You don't want my touch in the first place, so breaking it off unexpectedly is kind of my revenge."Boma felt conflicted about his actions. On one hand, she was drawn to him as the sensual feelings he stirred began to overwhelm her. On the other hand, she was grateful for the interruption. She knew she shouldn't enjoy his touch—that was the right thing.Donovan observed her expression. She looked anxious. He wanted her to relax."I will leave you to get acquainted with your new home." he said, dipping a hand into his pocket and retrie

“Boma paused, her heart beginning to waver. "You said that- that sleep overs were allowed.""I said that sleep overs were allowed but next time, I would rather you let me know you have someone over. I don't like surprises. What if I wanted to stay the night?" She paused, frozen. When he chuckled, she started to relax, realizing he might be teasing her."Relax." he said, I was just playing with you. Enjoy the rest of the evening and I will see you tomorrow."Boma was relieved. She didn't know he could be playful. She smiled a little as she responded. "Thank you. Bye." She then glanced at Hilda, who shrugged and said, "You two would have been good together," before turning and heading inside the house. Boma stood there, astonished.FEW HOURS LATERFriday evening had arrived, and by 7:30 p.m., the last light of day had faded, ushering in the night.Wilberforce Island University was alive with a flurry of night life. Some students were leaving the island for the city while some that rema

With Donovan's attention currently fixed on his friend, Boma willed her mind to stay strong and her brain to come up with a quick solution. She knew if Donovan found out, she would be in serious trouble. He would crucify her. She could already feel his hand tightening around her wrist as he stared at his friend expectantly. Tension steadily rose in the air.Boma struggled to battle her panic attack. She had come too far to have everything destroyed in so swift a moment. She fervently prayed in her heart for a miracle. Standing there beside Donovan, she fixed her eyes on his friend with thoughts of hope. It had suddenly dawned on her that he might just be the solution to her problem. She silently willed him to meet her eyes.Boma widened her eyes, staring intently at him so he would notice that she needed his attention. Her heart was slamming against her ribcage as she waited. The seconds of waiting time were starting to feel like a century. She could hardly breathe from relief when h

Their journey began early. As arranged, Donovan arrived around 7:00am with Standfast driving. They picked her up and she sat together with Donovan in the backseat.She inquired of Phillip and Donovan explained he was already at the ship ensuring their arrangement was not tampered with.They reached the island docks littered with canoes, speedboats and few yachts. She noticed a bland ship being boarded by students and her face fell. It wasn't what she expected."There is your titanic." Donovan said knowingly. "You wanted it. I warned you."The Titanic looked like nothing more than a large boat made of sticks with a zinc roof, appearing almost handmade by locals. From where she was, she could see passengers spreading mats in a corner to sit on, with the view outside visible through the boat’s interior.She concluded that it was merely a hall on a ship with open windows, where passengers stayed in their own corners. She looked up at Donovan, who had turned his attention to her. He always

Donovan traced his finger lightly along her jawline. She stared at him with wide, wild eyes. Then he smiled. "Look at her face, so nervous. Don’t worry, I won’t touch you, okay? I was just kidding." He backed away from her. "Enjoy the sail. I want a nap."She started to relax and he smirked at her knowingly. Then he turned away from her and returned to the bed. Boma watched him flop onto the bed, shutting his eyes and letting her be.She stood by the window, her eyes wide with wonder as she gazed out at the serene lake. She stayed by the window for a while, enjoying the peaceful scenery of nature.She could already hear the call of freedom. Her face lit up with a radiant smile at the thought of it. Her hair fluttered gently in the breeze. She watched the ripples on the water as the ship glided smoothly, feeling a sense of tranquility and adventure all at once.The beauty of the creeks captivated her, and she couldn't tear her gaze away from the picturesque scene unfolding beyond her

IntimacyDonovan spoke to Boma in the morning about moving in again, stating his concerns. She considered it and said she would think about it. They were both in bed, her hand on her waist.“Great.” He said, smiling.“You did this to me.” She whined. “I’m so round.”He laughed. “You’re the one who won’t stop eating.”“I can’t help it.”“I know. It will pass, Sweetheart.” He planted a kiss on her cheek.She smiled, then frowned. “D, please rub my feet.”Donovan obliged her. But she pointed to her knee. “No, there.”He laughed and indulged her. “Hope you won’t be the death of me.”She glared at him. “Are you complaining?”He lifted his hands in mock surrender, shaking his head. “Me? Complain? How dare I complain about taking care of the Queen of my heart?”She started to smile then frowned. “My feet, D, please massage.”He didn’t oblige her this time. He kissed her lips and murmured in her ear. “I know what you need, Sweetheart. You want me. Don’t worry, I will be gentle and come in fro
Donovan 170: Epilogue 4 - Shadows of Danger
The Dark MeetingAmong the attendees were representatives from the minor cults on campus, including an all-female cult that had often operated in the background, carefully observing the landscape of power. Their leader, a sharp-eyed girl with an air of authority, stood to address the group.She recalled her altercation with the girl Donovan married. She had thought maybe Donovan would grow tired of her, but it was not happening. Also, she thought she had moved on, but the more she saw Donovan’s success, the angrier she got. She wanted his downfall over this and had orchestrated everything by getting all the rival cult groups together.“Look at him,” she sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “Donovan thinks he’s some kind of hero, but we all know better. He’s just a fraternity member like the rest of us, and it’s time we remind him of his place.”As she turned off the video, the room fell silent. The atmosphere shifted, igniting the simmering animosity rising within the members. “W

Donovan’s LeadershipAs Donovan dove back into his responsibilities as SUG President, his passion for improving campus life grew stronger. He focused on the promises he made the school during his manifesto.One of his first initiatives upon resuming his role was addressing the issue of inadequate transportation on campus.The student body had long complained about the lack of school buses, leading to overcrowded rides and long waits. Donovan, refusing to let this linger any longer, called for a meeting with the university's management. Armed with facts, surveys, and the frustrations of his fellow students, he laid out his proposal: the school needed more buses, and the government had the resources to help.After hours of discussions, Donovan sent a formal proposal to the state government, making a strong case for why they needed to invest in the transportation system for the students.His tenacity paid off when his proposal was received positively, and a few weeks later, several new b

Back to School – One Month After the HoneymoonThe late afternoon sun filtered through the windows of the sleek SUV as it made its way back to campus.Boma leaned against the plush seat, her hand resting gently on her small but noticeable bump, a tender reminder of the new life growing inside her.Beside her, Donovan sat silently, his fingers interlaced with hers, his protective presence a constant source of strength.Phillip, Donovan’s right-hand man, was focused on the road, driving them back to the reality of school life after their whirlwind honeymoon.It had only been a month of travelling the world as newlyweds. Now, they were returning to their roles as students, but life had changed dramatically. Boma wasn’t just a student anymore; she was Mrs. Donovan. She was also carrying his child, and while her heart was full of joy, she found herself longing for some semblance of the independence she once cherished.As the car rolled through the gates of the university, Boma’s thoughts l
Donovan 167: Epilogue 1 - The Honeymoon
AFTER BOMA’S FULL RECOVERY The trauma from Boma’s ordeal with Harry was fading, thanks to Donovan’s gentle care and devotion. The school holiday was in full swing, and as promised, Donovan decided it was time for their honeymoon abroad. THE HONEYMOON Boma felt a mix of excitement and nerves as she sat beside Donovan on their flight. It was her first time flying, and though Donovan had wanted to book first class, she insisted on experiencing it in economy for her first time. Donovan agreed on the condition that their return flight would be first class. This way, she would experience both options. Boma accepted. Meeting each other halfway was becoming their norm, and Boma was beginning to enjoy the equality she had longed for. Donovan, always wanting to see her happy, indulged her wishes, adjusting to this new dynamic of negotiation in their relationship. His palm rested gently on her stomach as the plane began to take off. She breathed deeply, her eyes wide with a mix of fear

In the depth of his grief, Donovan clung tightly to Boma."No, you can't leave. Come back to me. Please, come back to me. I know you can hear me. I choose to believe you can hear me. Boma!"The family doctor gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "She's gone, Son. I'm sorry.""No!" Donovan shook off the doctor's hand and looked at Boma's face, growing cold in his arms. "Boma, hear me! Come back to me. It's D. Don't go, please!"Boma, floating towards the light, heard a distant voice calling her. The light beckoned her, but so did the voice. She heard her name, then the words, "Don't go- Come back to me- It's D- I love you- Please-"The voice grew louder, pulling her back. The light faded as she heard, "It's Papa- please don't leave me. Live again!"She gasped, her eyes shooting open. Seizures wracked her body, and she became aware of herself in Donovan's familiar arms. A beeping sound filled the air.People in white coats surrounded her, and she realized she was on a hospital bed in Do

Ken stood before a pacing Harry in the living room of the cabin. As a frat house it was simple, rustic with minimal furniture."Calm down, bro." Ken said, causing him to pause."That bastard is not taking me seriously." He shouted. "Does he think I'm joking?" "No. But it's just his way to assert his power. You are still the one in power. You have the leverage, so calm down."Hearing that, Harry sank down on a chair. Ken followed suit as Harry called Donovan who picked up after the second ring. This delay also infuriated Harry. Donovan should be desperate, calling him all the time. "I will kill your wife by tomorrow if you've not resigned by 12:00pm." He declared and ended the call.He sat back, satisfied that this time, it was he who had ended the call."Good one, bro." Ken praised."Thanks for having my back.""Anytime bro."They were silent for a while, anticipating their victory."Look at this place. It's a mess." Harry said. "Once we get the money by any means necessary, we'll pu

After what felt like an hour, the car finally slowed down, bumping along a rough road.Boma sensed they were far from the island, possibly near the city outskirts. God, where were they taking her?The car stopped, and her captors dragged her out. She heard nothing but forest sounds. Maybe they were at a cabin in the woods, she thought. Barely able to struggle, she was carried into a house. The creaking of boots on wood told her it was a wooden structure. A door lock clicked open, and she was carried inside. The air was stale, as if the place hadn't been aired out in ages. She heard a window opening, letting in some much-needed ventilation. Inwardly, she was grateful; she could have suffocated otherwise.Finally, they dropped her to the floor and removed her blindfold. She faced Harry. His gaze was cold, devoid of the compassion she once saw in him. He was a man consumed by envy and a thirst for power. She wanted to speak, to appeal to his better nature, but her lips were sealed.Fear

Donovan called Hilda, his fingers tapping impatiently against the phone as it rang."Hello, Hilda," he said as soon as she picked up. "I need to talk to you. It’s about Boma."Hilda's voice, already laced with worry, deepened. "What’s going on, Presido?""I’ve been trying to piece together where she might be. The security guard saw her leave with someone in a black car. Do you remember anything unusual about her recently?"Hilda paused, thinking hard. "The last time we saw her was at the faculty block, and she was alone but was later joined by Harry. They went to check his exam results together."Donovan’s grip tightened on the phone. He remembered encountering her that day as well. He had even seen Harry's car as he left. "Harry? Are you sure?""Yes," Hilda replied. "We didn't like it and didn't think much of it at the time, but now- it worries me.""Thanks, Hilda. I’ll do all I can to handle it from here," Donovan said, ending the call abruptly.His mind raced, fury bubbling to the s
