CHAPTER 34

He stood there, shocked, as Starr pushed me away from her and stood up. The tip of her tower was loosened as he stared at her while she instantly fixed it.

I shake my head to snap out of my thoughts as I offer him an apologetic look before moving towards the door. He stepped aside as I went out to give them a chance to talk as couples, even though I hated it.

When I close the door behind me, I rest my back against it, sighing and closing my eyes. I was interrupted by Ella, who stood beside me with a smirk on her face.

“Why? Did her one true love come already?” She asked. I looked at her while she gave me a smile and offered me something to drink, but I told her not to bother as I went downstairs.

I run a hand through my hair as I make my way out of their house. I unlocked my car and drove out of their compound.

I drove straight to John Barleycorns’ as I ordered a martini and sat there thinking about things I should not.

I wasn’t supposed to feel this way, this

    CHAPTER 35✍️ I sob out and tried to fight him off when he brings his phallus close to my legs and rubbed himself on me. I didn’t want this. Just as his fingers are about to slither into me. I managed to free my right hand and slapped him hard across his face making it echo in the silent house. He used his both hands to rub his cheek, and I used that opportunity to push him away from me and run out of his house, grabbing my car keys that were on his table. I didn’t know what to do as I was confused and tried to calm myself from believing that Kay had forcibly almost had his way with me. I didn’t know what to think, but I just kept on driving home. Immediately I got home, Tania was still awake, working in the sitting room. She asked if I was okay and I nodded and signaled her yes. I got into my room. I knew it wasn’t the time for me to be alone, so I went to Lizzy’s room to sleep, but when I opened the door, she wasn’t in. I turned around, and I saw Tania going to her room.

    CHAPTER 36✍️ Seven’s lips move over mine hurriedly as his hands come to hold my face and I kissed him back giving him full access to my mouth. Seizing that opportunity, he plunged his tongue into my mouth making me moan from the intense feeling I felt. I gasps to catch my breath as I pulled back for a moment before kissing him back with the same energy. My fingers wrapped around his wrist for backup as our lips moved together. He stopped and parted a little, making me moan in disapproval as he teasingly brushed our lips again together. He placed his forehead on mine for a short second before capturing my lips again. He moved his hands from my face as mine go around his back to pull him closer to me. He started moving his hands from the back of my neck, his fingers working wonders as he trails and slides them to my breasts, making a moan leave me. He cupped my breasts with one hand and used the other to help himself up to be on-top of me. I wrapped my hands round his neck as he

    Chapter 37✍️The sun shined brightly into the room, and I knew it was late morning already. I stretched my hands to feel if Seven was still there, but I felt the emptiness of the bed. It was just me on it. I saw him come out of the bathroom with a towel hung on his neck.He smiled as he approached the bed, and I couldn’t help but notice how charming he looked. His fine, perfectly shaped jawline, his beards, his long nose and his full lips. He was indeed a handsome man. I could admit to this even in the dark.He got the side of the bed and sat on it and he reached to touch my face, “Hey,” He said with a huge smile on his face. I couldn’t help but blush. I didn’t want to, but it just formed as I take my eyes away from his. Maybe I’d feel less hot.He chuckled and placed his hands on my cheek to bring my face back to meet his direction. “Are you shy?” He questioned with a huge grin on his face and I quickly defended myself.“What? No, why would I be?” I replied,

    Chapter 38✍️ I drove into my compound and waited for few minutes in what felt like hours. I came out and walked hastily into the house.As I walked into the house, Seven’s smug face flashing in my mind. I could feel anger simmering inside of me. I met Lizzy and Tania in the kitchen as soon as they saw me. Lizzy shouted, “Babe, where were you? You left the guys’ early.” She said and Tania added, “yeah, we thought we’d all leave together.” But I just nodded and ran upstairs.I didn’t want them to see my face or notice anything. I didn’t want Lizzy to start questioning me or judge me when I tell her I had sex with the man I’d always told her I hated.But who was I kidding? She came in some moments later. I could hear her voice calling out to me from the bathroom.“Babe? Open the door.” She shouted again.I didn’t want her to figure out anything but when I eventually replied, my voice sounded hoarse, sob clearly at the depth of it. She knew something was wrong. “Star

I couldn’t begin to imagine what would happen next if he had said yes.“Well then, she doesn’t want to talk to you. So goodbye.” She said and banged the door in his face. She turned to come in face with me and she give me an apologetic look but I shrugged it off and gave her a small smile. I went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, took a bottle of water and went back to my room.Immediately I got in, my phone rang again and I wondered why he was calling so much. Didn’t he get the memo? I clearly didn’t want to speak to him, so can’t he just leave me the hell alone? I said out loud to myself as I approached the cabinet to pick my phone.I glanced at the caller and I saw it wasn’t him, it was Kay. Just perfect, the second annoying man in my life. I let it ring for the third time before I swiped up the pick part of it. “Hello.” I heard his deep voice at th

    CHAPTER 40✍️He looked at me intensely after that rolled out of my mouth. And guess what? I wasn’t regretful. I felt good that I had said something that would pick him, something he saw as a challenge.“Really? You’re gonna mock me with what I confided in you with? Just because of a woman?” He said.“Exactly, all of these started because of a woman too, right? You mock me with my past because of a woman.” I told him and continued.“Yes, I made that bet a long time ago. People change. So yes, Christian I did. She changed me and I’m so happy that she did. But what about you? Can you say the same about yourself?” I threw at him and Gab hurriedly came to stand in between, telling us to stop.He stayed quiet for more seconds before he chuckled and replied, “What about me? Come on, spill it out.”“I made a bet, yes, and that’s the most despicable thing I’ve done to her, but can Tania change you? You have confessed so much fake love to her just to have sex with her and

    My birthday was in a few days. Lizzy and Tania wouldn’t stop gushing about it. While Ella she was hardly home, but for some unknown reason, for the past one week. She had been, and she has started becoming close to me again after a long time.She apologized and said she was fine with Seven and me being together, but I told her it was okay. Because Seven and I are never going to be together, at least that’s what I thought.We haven’t seen in these past weeks. It was almost over a month we last saw. He came to the house almost every day, and Lizzy would always tell him I wasn’t home. But not until last week.She let him in, and thank goodness I was fast enough to see him, so I hid well till he got tired of waiting and left.I was thinking he’d eventually get completely exhausted from trying so hard to see me, but I guess he was a stubborn man that doesn’t take no for an answer. So he promoted from frequently visiting the house to my boutique.He visited my boutique and my P. A informed

    The dress code was elegant. Kay literally stated that the company asked them to dress in a black or red stylish outfit. So I decided to go with the red. I wore a knee length gown, who has an opened space at the shoulders, leaving it a shoulder down dress and has a shape V in the middle, exposing a wider part of my cleavage.I changed my hair to a brown bouncy one and wore my accessories before wearing my gold heels to go with it.When I reach downstairs, Kay was already waiting for me with a smile on his face. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. Kay’s black trousers and T-shirt accentuated his broad shoulders, while the red suit added a pop of color that made his eyes sparkle.“Hey,” I say to him to avoid an awkward, silent situation. And he stretched out his hands just as I was about reaching the last part of the step.“You look so ravishingly beautiful, Starr.” He complimented me and I smiled widely again and muttered a low thank you.“Ready to go?” He asked and I just nod,“Yeah

    My hands grasped the doorknob, and I pushed it open. The room was empty. For a moment I panicked. My heart raced, but the instant I heard the water running and then it stopped, I knew she was in.She was taking her bath. So I moved my legs to the window, knowing that she’d be out any moment from now.I stretched out my fingers, who has turned white from my nervous knuckles. Swiftly, I wiped my hands on my Jean to clean out the sweat that formed.Still waiting, I moved my legs to her desks where her laptop was, opened. A warmth spread through my chest as I gazed at her laptop, admiring her dedication.My eyes scanned the whole table, and it finally landed on a white thick nylon that had some pack of drugs.Is she not feeling too well? Why is she on drugs?One of it was already at the tip of the nylon, wanting to spill out. So I picked it up to read the content.But the bathroom door swung open. She stepped out and instantly she stood frozen immediately she set her eyes on me. With her

    Sighing, I bursted out into laughter. This epistle is so funny. I knew she was hurt, and that, given my weeks of silence, she probably assumed I was tired of her and wanted to break up.I narrowed my eyes back to my parents and siblings.⏰⏰⏰TWO WEEKS LATERSquinted my eyes before heaving out the deep breath that I’ve kept in for so long.“What is your woman saying, man?” I inquired, narrowing my eyes in slight anger.Groaning, I responded immediately. “I thought you told me that she said Starr would be home today. What changed?” I took another deep breath as I tried to understand what he was spurting from the other end.“So for two weeks, she has been avoiding you? Is that it?” I asked him with my jaw clenching with anger.My eyes moved around trying to read what’s going on even from the other side of the phone.“Man, I think she’s lying or stalling. Maybe Starr is upstairs. Check it out for me. Go to her room and knock. She’s supposed to be back from work.”Tugging the root of my ha

    Washington, Seattle⏰Momentarily, I turned my back to my father, before tugging the root of my hair then faced him again. “No, I’m not going to reconsider anything that man uttered. All of that he said, it’s just based on his daughter’s feelings and not for the company’s alignment.”Narrowing my eyes, I spoke again. “And moreover I told you and mom that I found someone that I love already so I meant it when I clearly stated last year, that the betrothal engagement is cut of.”“I only honored this invitation because of the respect I have for him, but since he wouldn’t get it through his head via email, that is the reason I came. To let it out myself so he and his family can leave us alone dad.”Still panting, I let it all out while my father just stood staring at me till I explained everything. “Okay, son. I understand.”Finally, I was glad when that came out of his mouth. He held me by my arms and motioned that we go back inside.“Thank you Terrence for having my son and I.” Trisha’s

    Tension filled the room immediately and I saw her face melt into something I couldn’t get myself to understand. “Perfect, you’re a jealous one. Just like him.”She chuckled again, although this one was a little louder, earning a huge grin on her face before she spoke again. “Oh, I now see why you two are made for each other.” She stated chuckling, and again, she checked her phone for the ninth time.I arched my chin up as I began to wonder why she constantly kept on doing that.She picked up her phone from the table and scrolled through, typing something in it. Probably sent a message before placing it down back on the table. She took her eyes to me. “I’m sorry that you found that offensive, or rather I’m that you found me in your man’s shirt. It won’t happen again.” It was my time to chuckle. And I did before taking my eyes back to her. “No, don’t take it personal. I just……”“You know what Starr? It’s totally fine. I understand.” She stated as she leaned closer and placed her arms

    It was a message from Seven’s first love. Camille.Why did she send me a message? Why does she want us to meet?I rolled my eyes and took it back to Lizzy and she widened hers and shrugged her shoulders. “What?”Grouchily, I responded. “Camille wants us to meet today.”A small smile spread across her face immediately. “Why that expression?” I quickly inquired.Chuckling, she replied. “Nothing. I’m just glad she probably wants to get things off her chest with you, so it’s a good one.”Without wasting any more seconds, I gave my honest response. “Well, I’m not going.”Lizzy bursted out laughing with her hands on her chest. “Oh Starr., I know you’ll. So quit the hard girl and go meet the woman trying to get between you and your man.”Time flew in a flurry of activity, and it was early evening.I quickly wore a knee length black gown and I short heel slippers to go with it.Hesitantly, I pulled up at the small parking lot and strolled inside.The shiny light in the room was very captivati

    Restlessly, I kept turning around in my bed. I couldn’t sleep. I kept on drifting back to the conversation Seven and I had earlier today. Was I that bad? Am I possessed? Why can’t I keep a man just like every other woman?My mind reeled off to Ella. She knew of my condition now. I’m sure she’d blackmail me with it since she has always had eyes for Seven, so there was absolutely no way I’d win this.She would definitely force me to back out for her to take my place in his life. If I truly had one.I wasn’t ready to tell him. No. I couldn’t possibly look him in the eyes and say. “Hey, I’ve a freaking medical condition and I can’t conceive.” Yeah. That’s extremely funny.I just can’t. There is no way I am doing that. So the other option is just to let him be. But my heart can’t. I love him.Sighing, I placed my hand on my chest as I continued to heave heavily and think deep.Sighing out deeply for the up tenth time, I felt my chest tightened so quickly, I grasp the duvet and threw it off

    Her gawking eyes followed me till I push the door open and went outside. She didn’t bother saying anything, the same goes for me and for some unknown reasons I was grateful.I wasn’t ready for any fake love or affection.Hastily, I walked to my car and stayed in there for some time, wiping away the constant tears that were dripping down.After successfully pouring everything out, I drove home and went inside, not spending another one second out there wallowing.The instant I pushed the door open, I met Chris and Gab in the sitting room with their woman giggling and all happy.They were definitely cracking jokes and grinning from ear to ear. Faking a small smile, I greeted them and moved closer to take Chris’s outstretched hands to shake me.After the short compliments and welcoming speech, I made sure I didn’t spare a slight glance to Lizzy’s way.I just ran upstairs and banged my door hard. Few minutes later, after taking a cold shower, I heard a soft knock on the door.Quickly, I wr

    Chapter 77He took a step closer to me, his eyes locked on mine. Pain and hurt instantly filled his eyes. “Gone.” I furrowed my brows in confusion as I tried to understand what he meant by “Gone.”.“What do you mean by gone?”Biting his lower lips, he sniffed in a little and spoke again. “She died. It was still birth.” My eyes bulged out in pain for him and he hurried back to the windows, staring out at it. I took a deep breath, composing myself before speaking. “You shouldn’t blame yourself for that.” I spoke out, trying to comfort him.He turned to look at me as I continued, “You got separated. So there was absolutely no way you’d have been there for her.”Sewing in his sob, he spoke. “Apparently, she got pregnant and my parent already got me betrothed to Trisha right from when we were growing up because Trisha's family are also rich and they needed that contracted marriage.”“So I’m sure Camille’s mother figured it all out. That was the reason she took her

    I didn’t know what to do next. One part of me wanted to storm out and confront Lizzy, while another part of me stayed frozen in shock.I stood there, unsure of how to react, as Lizzy continued her conversation, oblivious to my presence.As I stood there, I knew that my relationship with Seven would never be the same. The secrets and lied had created a rift, and I wasn’t sure if it would be amended.My secrets to him and his to me. He knew about all of this, and he made me think that I was overreacting.With my trembling hands, I wiped my tears, and gradually, without making a noise, I went out of her room.I approached the gate, pushed it open, and went into my car. I let my tears fall because I knew it was over for me.Trying to relax my racing heart, I placed my hands on my chest to calm myself. My drugs were in my bag, so there was no way I’d stop a huge panic attack if it set in.My hands caught my steering wheel, so I puffed out the gagging air in my throat, then revved the engin
