“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?

I pulled it onto my lap as I tried to pull out my phone.I got the road that had a U turn, so I swiftly turned my hands towards it as I pulled up into the next lane.My fingers grasped my seat belt as I buckled up, before I dialed Seven’s line as my hands continued shaking in fear and my face soaked in premium tears.God! I was going to die today. Tears continued to roll down my face as I tried to breathe out but my chest tightened.When he picked at the second ring, I shout as I tried to explain to him briefly. “Seven, please help me. My car wouldn’t stop, it just doesn’t want to stop.”Hurriedly, I felt his tensed voice. “I don’t understand, what do you mean?” He asked sharply, and I responded immediately, not giving him a chance to speak again.“Please help me, it wouldn’t stop. My
Chapter 59✍️“Tania?” I asked with my eyes wide open in shock. “What’re you doing?”She seemed to be to in surprise as she saw me, but she quickly straightened her shoulders as she tried to calm her nerves, cleared her throat and gave her response, “I’m sorry, I…. Just didn’t know how to face you. I borrowed your car, so I came to drop off your keys.” She replied, stuttering.I furrowed my brows in confusion as I try to get what she meant by that. “You don’t know how to face me, so you thought it was okay to sneak in? Just because of the keys?”I asked, and she glanced at me before taking her eyes off me back to her fidgeting fingers. “No. It’s because I’ve been acting all strange and I misunderstood you, so I’m sorry.” She concluded and took a step, but halted immediately. “Please, just know it wasn’t my intention to hurt you..” she added.I still arched my eyebrows, still not understanding what all this was about. “T, what’s wrong? What are you saying?” I ask
CHAPTER 58✍️I rubbed my temples to calm my nerves before speaking. “It’s fine, Ella. Thank you.” I said to her as I was about going up back to my room. I stopped and turned to look at her again.“On a second thought. Actually, I checked everybody’s room except Tania’s because it’s locked.”I stated, and I saw her open her mouth, probably startled by that piece of news. “You see that? Why would she lock her door?” She commented.And I shrugged off my shoulders and climbed back to my room. I didn’t know what to think. Was Tania truly behind this? But I’ve known her for a long time. She wouldn’t steal, she’s not a thief.I kept on thinking, trying to revolve my head around the entire issue.My phone rang again as I glanced at the screen to know if he was the one calling. He was.So I swiped up to pick as I hear his deep voice. Although it was calm but I knew he was angry, and probably trying to keep it intact.“Have you gotten home?” He asked.I replied hesita
Chapter 57✍️I knew from the onset that he never liked Kay. He had always hated Kelvin right from the first day he saw him. I remember when I and kelvin came down the stairs, and he kept on gawking at him, so hearing his voice in the background made him angry.And I was sure different thoughts were going through his mind at this moment, but I just can’t be away from my best friend that I’ve known for years even before I met him just because we are now together and he doesn’t like him.That’s his own issue to deal not mine. I’d see kelvin anytime I want. The love I have for him won’t stop me. Moreover, I’m sure he’d understand considering that he knows what it means to take someone very dare to your heart. If the girl on his chest isn’t important, he wouldn’t tattoo her on his skin and keep her identity away from me when he claims that he loves me.Kay glanced at me momentarily as I respond in the same tone, “I’ll call you back.” before I hung up and dropped t
CHAPTER 56✍️The day was moving smoothly, but I couldn’t concentrate at work. He still tried to have a conversation with me after I finished bathing, but I wasn’t in that mood, so I gave silence and laughed a little at whatever he said.After we both finished preparing, he offered to drive me to work because my car had already been sent home. We walked to his car with my heels clicking the floor.Abruptly, he held my hands back and held me by my waist in front of his glaring gate keeper. He asked if I was okay, that I should talk to him, but I dispatched it, and said everything was fine, but now I regret it.My coming to the office today was clearly a mistake. I couldn’t work, I couldn’t attend to the reports that I should. The reports of 130pages are to be checked and sent by me to the marketing teams. It should be finalized by Friday. That’s three days from now and I was yet to do them. I was a mess.Finally, it was closing hours, and I quickly packed the files
Chapter 55✍️️I couldn’t help but laugh. Lizzy’s laugh cracked me up. “Elizabeth,” I said, “I’ll speak to you when I get home. I spoke through gritted teeth. I didn’t speak out loud cause Seven was on a call with Clarice about a major project.I could feel that she raised her brows to respond, but I gulped as I wait for it. “Really? The same way you promised to be home today? But you didn’t?” She stated, and I opened my mouth to defend myself, but I was short of words. I didn’t know what to say, so I literally begged her, “Okay, I apologize, but it was very important, so I had to stay.”“Really?” she questioned, and I nodded like she could see me.I heard her clap her hands together and replied, “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow, then. I’m serious, Starr. Tomorrow has to be tomorrow.” And I replied, still nodding my head before speaking.“Of course, boss.” I spoke, and I heard her chuckle.“Well____” she dragged before adding, “Goodnight…. Say hi to Seven for me and don
“What?” I exclaimed with my eyes bulging out in shock and a small smile crept onto my face.“But, babe, you don’t have to.” I spoke quickly and as soon as I heard him heave a sigh, I knew he wanted to but I didn’t want to stress him.“I meant to say that you shouldn’t stress yourself cause I have my car here with me.” I stated the obvious with my hands stretched toward it.But then I heard his sweet voice at the far end. Although, network was breaking, but I managed to grasp his response.“That shouldn’t be an issue. I would inform carter, the porter in the company, to take it to your place, okay?” He suggested and hesitantly I agreed immediately.“Alright that’s fine, but I’m not at work right now. I’m at sip and vibe.” I stated and I hear his end go silent, so I added. “I just met with Chris.”Hesitantly, he replied, “Okay, just stay right there. I’ll soon get to you.”Minutes later, I saw him drive as he approached where I stood, and I couldn’t help but gawk at his car. It is a Bla
The alarm was loud as it jolted me out of my sleep, as I rubbed my eyes and snapped it open. I came in face with that pair of eyes that always made me feel butterflies in my belly. “Good morning beautiful.” And I smiled, “Hey.” “You alright? How was your night?” He asked, with a huge grin on his face.“It was good, but clearly intruded by that annoying alarm of yours.” I explained as I pushed closer and his arms come to wrap my waist. He chuckled and placed a soft kiss on my lips, “Well, for an ambitious woman, it shouldn’t be more better.” He spoke teasingly and I playfully slapped his chest then we ended up laughing.Seconds later, his facial expression moved from a smiley one to a less serious one, “You meant what said last night right?” I hesitated for a while to make his heart panic a little, and I saw that it was working because his face was turning to a hopeless one, before I bursted out in laughter. “Of course, I meant it.” Then he smiled and smacked my ass, “Really? You
Chapter 52✍️My mouth was partly apart while I lay there with my arms spread, moaning out from the intense pleasure the love of my life was making me feel.He continued, as he pulled his finger out and pushed it in again. He continued as he fastened his pace and added another finger. Flipping my clitoris continually with his other finger made me jerk forward.I couldn’t take it anymore. He was drowning me in pleasure so I raised my back off the bed and placed my hand on his cheek, rubbed it slowly while he stared at me and smiled, clearly loving how helpless I was under him.“Oh my God! Seven,” I called out his name as I threw my head backwards and shifted closer to feel every inch of his finger.“Oh, fuck!” I exclaimed loudly as I tried to pat my clit, but he took my hands off my body and placed it back on the bed. He continued to flip and finger me and I squirt on his fingers, arching my body to meet his. He pulled his fingers out as I took my eyes to meet hi
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. ...
