“When you’re done shedding your tears, don’t forget to close the door behind you.” Those cold disdainful words shattered Starr’s world. Fleeing the scene of her lover’s betrayal, she is left ruined and wrecked by the man she once trusted, who now lies in bed with another woman, indifferent to the pain he has caused. Starr had poured her heart and all into building a life with Charles, only to discover that her love and sacrifices were used to build a life that she was never included in. Betrayed and broken, she learns that Charles only saw her as a way out of poverty and a means to support his true love and their unborn child. Determined to reclaim her life and shut out the pain, Starr seizes an opportunity to start over in France, taking a job offer from her boss that promises a fresh beginning. But as she navigates this new chapter, the wounds of her past linger. Can Starr truly move on and find the love she deserves, or will the scars of betrayal keep her heart closed forever?

My heart kept on racing. What did I just do? I questioned myself.I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have kissed him back! I said as I banged my hands on my wheels. Shit!Now he’d think I have fallen for him or something. I murmured to myself and my subconscious mind replied me. “Yes, you’ve fallen for him.” But I replied, shaking my head negatively.I couldn’t imagine doing that, falling in love. I sat there for about 30minutes, reminiscing about the kiss and I wouldn’t deny that it made me feel alive. I felt like a woman again after 2years and some months. And I wouldn’t deny that he made me fucking wet.Snapping out of my review, I started my car and drove home.I got home and opened the door. Ella was in the sitting room, watching a movie. I just moved past her and went up
Chapter 26✍️ Shit! What explanation would I give to him? I thought to myself. I moved closer to him to hold his hands, and he let me. He just stood there staring at me, probably searching for answers in my eyes. “Kay,” I began as I called out his name, but he was just too quiet, so I continued. “I can explain,” I added. “Exactly, and I’m waiting for it,” he said softly, like someone who wasn’t upset, but I knew he was. I knew it was time to come out plain, but I still contemplated in me if I should say the truth, will he forgive me? “I followed Lizzy to see someone, her boyfriend.” I said, and he responded almost immediately. “So her boyfriend gave you a hickey?” He said, his face straight and rigid. “What? No, no Kay, it wasn’t him.” I replied, stuttering. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Then who did?” He asked, but before I’d reply, he added. “Wait, Starr, please don’t tell me it’s that same guy.” He said, squinting his eyes, and I stopped talking as I stood loo
chapter 25✍️“Do you think he can make you orgasm like I would do without no stress? Do you think he can fuck you like I would?” Immediately that rolled out of his mouth, I swallowed my spit before it’d choke me, but he continued.He brought his lips close to my ears as he spoke directly into it, my legs wiggled but I didn’t want to show it, “Oh, beautiful, you don’t want to imagine what I can do to you.He kissed the nape of my neck gently and this time I moved my hands to his arm to stop him, but he wouldn’t bulge. Next, he sucked deeply in my neck, I didn’t want what he was doing , but I couldn’t deny that I liked it. I did all I could to suppress the moan that was choking my throat.He kissed it one more time, and spoke, “But I can imagine my fingers working down there, and you screaming out my name.” Oh, god! I didn’t want to hear anymore so I tried shoving his hands that were on my waist so I could step out from his broad chest cage and successfully I did.He
chapter 24✍️So basically I had a boyfriend. I watched Seven come closer, he looked surprised as he stared at me before he came close and greeted Gab with a handshake.He also greeted Lizzy and came closer to me like he wanted to greet me, but as I opened my mouth to say something but he passed me without sparing me a glance.I felt a huge blow hit me. I leaned back and rested my whole body on the arm of his couch. Lizzy looked at me with pity and gab chuckled.I wanted to leave, but I didn’t want coming here to be in fruitless, I had to stay and talk to him.Few minutes later, he came downstairs with a short and loosed black T-shirt. He really looked hot, but I didn’t let myself stare too much cause I didn’t want to be tagged as creepy.They all spoke freely and laughed while I sat there watching them cause I wasn’t free and honestly I didn’t know what to say.My phone has been ringing, but I had been declining it. I didn’t want Kay to find out I was here in
CHAPTER 23✍️No, no, I murmured and ran out of my room…….I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to Ella’s room, as I still prayed inwardly that the dress she wore should not be mine.I got to the front of her room door and pushed it open. I didn’t bother to knock.She was walking out of her bathroom when I got into her room. She didn’t look surprised. it was more like she was expecting me.She smiled, and I irked my eyebrows at her and asked her the question I came here to ask her. “Did you take my dress?” But she acted oblivious to the whole thing. She turned to face me directly and smirked before she answered.“What dress?” She asked, squinting her eyes, and that got me even more angry.“Don’t play smart with me and answer the fucking question. Did you take my black dress?” I asked again, but this time my voice was laced with anger.“Oh, that dress I wore to the dinner with Seven? The one you saw me on yesterday? It’s where it’s supposed to be, in the thrash c
Chapter 22✍️I was caught, Not by Lizzy, Tania, or any of my close friend, but a man I didn’t think would ever find me in bed with another man, cause I told him days ago that I was single.I was just caught in bed not with a random stranger, but one who everyone knows was my best friend.I felt speechless as I stared at his shocked face, while his mouth was slightly open. The expression on his face was very priceless. I couldn’t point what exactly he felt. Was is anger? “No,” I thought to myself. “Yes, it was definitely jealousy.”He had that look of jealousy plastered on his face. I quickly pushed Kay off of me, grabbed the duvet and looked back at Seven.He cleared his throat before curtly speaking up. “I’m sorry I barged into the wrong room, but I thought this was Ella’s room.” Immediately I heard Ella’s name roll out of his mouth, I couldn’t help but think what he wanted from Ella by this time of the night. Yes, it was past 7pm.I also cleared my throat an
CHAPTER 21✍️ I just nodded my head like he could see me, till I voiced out an answer. “Yes, of course. You can come pick me up at the house tomorrow.”I heard him sigh as he replied with a simple answer. “Okay, I’ll pick you up then tomorrow.”Immediately he hung up the phone, I squealed out throwing myself on my bed giggling to like a kid. I felt happy. I had never felt this happy in a long time.Finally, I could go out with such a handsome, hot, man. Who I know was clearly interested in me. I couldn’t wait to dress and…….A thought crossed my mind just as I made mention of the dress. I didn’t know what to wear. In-fact I didn’t have anything to wear. All the clothes in my closet were old and annoying.I wanted something more arousing and seductive. Wait a minute, I think I’ve an idea. I’ll probably get it done tomorrow while she’s out.I was finally able to catch some sleep after having different lovely thoughts run through my mind the whole night.Starr’s P
CHAPTER 20✍️ My eyes bulged out in shock and I didn’t even know how to react so I just stood there till he pulled away.I turned around immediately and I saw everyone stood in shock, including Lizzy. She stood akimbo staring at I and Kay.Ella, bursted out laughing, and still held Seven’s hand. He slipped his hands off Ella’s and walked towards the car. I guess it is his, cause he went straight to the front seat.I turned back around and walked Kay out of the gate. I bid him goodbye, and he drove off. I walked back into the compound and I saw they were driving off, Chris and Jude waved at me goodbye, but Seven made a stern face and drove past me roughly.Seven POVHonestly, for some reason, I felt shocked to see a guy come to her home to look for her, but I got more shocked when she came down dressed like a seductress in that tank top and short. Her legs were very smooth and long. Her curves were clearly evident even in the short, not to talk of her as
chapter 19✍As I flopped onto my bed, I couldn’t help but think about Kay. It had been four days since we last spoke, and it felt like an eternity. We usually talked or texted each other every day, but this time, the silence between us was deafening.I picked up my phone and scrolled through our last conversation, feeling a pang of guilt for not reaching out to him sooner. I was supposed to reach out to him and talk him out of whatever was in his head, but I had been so busy.I dialed Kay’s number, my heart racing with excitement, but it went straight to voicemail. I sighed, feeling a slight disappointment. I had been looking forward to hearing his voice all day.“Hey, Kay, it’s me,” I said, trying to sound casual despite the fact that I was missing him so much. I mean, he is my best friend, so it’s definitely normal if I miss him. “Just wanted to say hi and I’m coming to your place tomorrow after work. please, call me back when you can. Miss you!”I hung up,
CHAPTER ONE ✍️Starr’s POV“Trust me Starr, I’m your best friend and I always want the best for you, I wouldn’t lie or accuse Charles of something that’s not true. So please believe me when I say he’s a freaking liar and a cheat.”“I saw him this afternoon in Nirvana lounge with a beautiful, average height, light-skin lady, and they looked so happy like people in love. Nirvana lounge, that rang a bell in my head. That’s the hotel me and him always stayed whenever he’s around.“And before you say anything, that didn’t look like a business deal or friendship date”. She added trying to sound convincing.I hung up abruptly, and sat quickly on my bed thinking about what lizzy just spurted. I didn’t want to believe “Could she be telling the truth? No, no, Starr stop, don’t do this,” I murmured as I welcomed denial.Charles would never hurt me. And what the hell would he be even doing in Dubai? I mean, he isn’t back from Canada, where he went on an important business trip for months now. ...
