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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

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

    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.

    CHAPTER 2✍️As the elevator came to a halt, I stepped out and returned the keycard to the receptionist. I sprinted out of the building and flagged down a taxi. The drive was cold and silent, and my vision blurred from excessive crying.Getting to my destination, I sat in a bar with three bottles of pure alcohol, drowning in my sorrows. I knew that was exactly what I needed at that moment. As I struggled to regain control of my emotions, memories of what I had witnessed came flooding back.The memory of her stunning beauty lingered, and I couldn’t help but compare myself to her. She was a version of perfection, stunningly beautiful, and in that moment, I knew I would never measure up to her. Even in a fairy dress, he’d never love someone like me. He needed someone beautiful, model looking, confident, and someone who’d give him a Child, I was none of them.I remembered how they looked into each other eyes with burning love passion, and it dawned on me. “Never in a million year

    Still contemplating, tears continued to spill out of my eyes, and I quickly took my hands to wipe them out. Slowly, I turned around to look at Lizzy. She glanced at me without saying anything. Giving me the expression of, do whatever it is you want, she moved her step to reach the stairs, going up. Lizzy’s behavior dumbfounded me, because she had never acted like that before. She left me alone to face this all by myself. Sluggishly, I nodded, picked my bag from the couch and went straight to the wine cellar to get a full bottle of wine before moving to my room. Slamming the door shut, I didn’t bother to take another step. I just slumped to the floor and wrapped my knee close to my face and cried my eyes out. I was selfish. Maybe I should have trusted him and now he has left me. I did this to myself. I let anger and jealousy fuel inside me so badly that I didn’t see who he really was. How true of a man he has been to me. I stayed there, on the ground and cried for hours an

    Pushing my hair slowly away from my face, I took a step forward while he just stood there staring at me intensely before he turned around and moved to push the gate open to go in.I thought he was leaving just now? Why did he go back inside? I thought to myself as my face crinkled in confusion.I walked behind him going inside till we got to where my car was parked, so he leaned forward and bent his head while he squeezed his hands, making his knuckles turn white from it.He was clearly angry. But I’m the one that’s supposed to be. Then why is he?Without thinking, angrily, I hissed and hastened my foot to the front door. He shoot up and turned to me. I could feel his eyes piercing my skin as I walked, but I didn’t care.Till he shouted my name, coming behind me. We pushed the door open, revealing Lizzy that was with a glass of juice about going up, but paused the moment she saw the door fling open with me marching inside and Seven coming behind me, fuming and yelling.“Starr?
