FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty) TANGLED EMOTIONS
chapter 14✍️I couldn't feel anything else around us, I only felt his hands on my waist and his lips…….And with that, he slammed me against the door, his lips crashing down on mine in a fierce, possessive kiss.My mind reeled, my body frozen in shock as his kiss consumed me, leaving me breathless and wanting something I couldn’t point out. So I pushed him off of me and gave him a deafening slap.Immediately I did that, it felt like everywhere went silent, he placed his hands on his cheek rubbing it, and he gave me this long lasting smile before he disappeared into the lights of the place.I staggered back, and I glared at him, my anger boiling even after he’d disappeared from sight. I felt like my whole system couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted to go home and sleep all of this over. I felt tired. My taxi came and I left, I got to the front of my gate and I saw someone standing there. I had totally forgotten that I gave Kelvin my address to wait for me. I r

chapter 15✍️Immediately Kay heard that, I saw something that resembled hurt in his eyes, he turned his head sideways, and acted in a way I’d never seen him act. He walked away, and before I could say anything he was out of the door. And that moment Tania got home, just her, so I figured Lizzy went with her boyfriend and God knows where Ella went. She wanted to say something but I signaled her to wait.I dialed the douchebag’s number, I was glad he didn’t have a third ring before he picked. “Why the hell did you call me? Who freaking gave you my number?” I asked him my anger pitching high.He hesitated for a while before speaking, “I just want to talk.”“Is that why you are blowing up my phone? If someone doesn't pick up for the first and second time, you should know the person is doing it intentionally or busy." I said to him.There was a pause on the other end of the line before a deep, smooth voice spoke up. "Starr, it's Seven. We met last night at the par

chapter 16✍️"Can you see me in a restaurant to talk about it?" He asked, sounding calm and sincere.I refused immediately. "No way, I don't think that's a good idea. You've already said enough." And moreover, I cannot be in the same space with you that’s how much I hate you.” I said that and Lizzy looked at me begging for him with her eyes.He spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, Starr, I want to explain myself and clear the air. Can we just meet for lunch and discuss it?"I hesitated, my initial refusal softening. “Fine.”He responded hurriedly. “Okay, tomorrow?”I thought for a moment before agreeing. "Okay, fine, tomorrow then.”Immediately I got off the phone with him, Lizzy squealed and I wondered if she was insane. “What’s wrong with you Lizzy? Are you okay?” I hurriedly asked her, she looked at me giving this teasing eyes and I wondered what was in that cunning mind of hers.“I think he likes you, Starr.” She dropped the bomb and I opened my mouth to speak bu

chapter 17✍️My eyes bulged out in shock as she raised her hands and pushed me. I fell to the floor, people stared at us, especially at me and I felt embarrassed. I saw Seven rushed to us, rather to me and helped me get up from the floor. I stared at her looking into her eyes to see an atom of remorse, but I saw none, but anger flashed in her eyes. And I still tried to convince myself that it was a mistake. Then she stormed out of the restaurant with her date strolling behind her. Seven helped me up, and took me back our seats, I couldn’t look up the whole time till we got there. I grabbed my handbag to leave but the waiter came with our food, so I just had to stay while Seven kept his eyes glued on me the whole time till I was forced to say something.“Can you please stop doing that?” I asked him but he acted oblivious to the whole situation.“Stop doing what?” I didn’t respond to him, till he spoke again.“You know, you’re a good person,” he began but I still

chapter 18✍️I smirked once more then I held her hands in my own hands as I continued.My face contorted in pain, “I felt like my world had been turned upside down, like everything I thought I knew was a lie. I was consumed by rage, by hurt, by a sense of betrayal. And the worst part was, I couldn’t even confront them, because I was too broken.“My voice dropped to a whisper as I concluded “So, yes, Starr, I know what it feels like to be hurt, to be betrayed, And that’s why I’m trying to help you, because I know he isn’t worth all of this wall you’ve built.Her expression softened, her eyes filling with compassion. “Seven, I’m so sorry. I had no idea, that’s so horrible.” She said to me.My smile became brighter. “No one did. I made sure to hide it well for years, before Gabriel came along. But it’s hard to keep up the charade when your heart is shattered into a million pieces.”Her expression softened. “I know, right? Well, I’m here to listen anytime you want to

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 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 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

Sharply, I swiped it off before moving my eyes down to check out the stain on my hand. It was really blood. I was bleeding from my nose.Minutes later, we arrived at my gate and I pulled out the cash in my purse in placed it on his outstretched palm before walking inside.Slowly tapping my feet on the floor, to not wake anyone up, I finally arrived at my room door and pulled it open.Swiftly, I entered and dumped my slippers on the floor in a thud and walked straight to my wide mirror to check out my face.Fleetly, I pulled out a tissue and began wiped it thoroughly, then I heard a knock on my door and I quickly hid it behind my back and twisted to look at the person.It was Tania.She looked at me as she arched her eyes and pulled away her hair that was blocking her eyes. “Are you okay?”Was my fear evident? Were my hands shaking? Did she see me with my half bleeding nose?My voice cracked. “Yeah, I’m good.”She nodded. “We’ve been waiting for you. When I heard the front door, I thou

Seemed like I spent a lot of minutes here that he had to come check on me. My hands were sweaty and my eyes were filled with tears. I staggered back as I dropped the phone back on the bed. She’s pregnant, that’s why he didn’t call. That’s why he has probably not said anything about her.He was looking for the perfect time to tell me. I palmed my face as I let the tears fall. I tried to take a deep breath, but it just seemed like it was difficult.The door was pushed opened as he stepped in, and I spin my back on him, trying to wipe the tears away. It was difficult, so I bit my lips multiple times trying to force it back in.“Baby?” He called out, but I just stood there, bent with my hands relaxing on his desks.He got close as he tried placing his hands on me. I turned and stopped him with my hands.“Don’t.”His eyes flickered as he raised an eyebrow trying to figure it out. “What’s wrong?”“Why don’t you tell me?” I threw back at him that instant.He seemed confused as he shrugged hi

My ear twitched, hoping to hear what I wanted to hear. I heard him take a deep breath before he opened his mouth to speak. “I didn’t Starr, we just met again. I wasn’t lying when I said we haven’t seen in years.”I didn’t know that I’ve been holding up my breath for the long minute until he spoke out.“Okay.” I gave a curt response. The tension in the room suddenly felt better as it fired down.I stood up from the bed and I walked to the window, before I heard him speak again. “How’s your health? How’re you feeling now? Better?”“Yes. I feel better now.”His voice smooth, and guarded. “Okay.” I heard him speaking to someone, so I just kept quiet and waited till he was done. “Are you busy?”“Yes, please can I call you back?” He requested, and I just gave a sharp positive response and ended the call.••••••Days later, Friday.As I step out of the shower and took my gaze to the wall clock, I realized that I’d spent a long time washing my hair and taking a bath. Seven called that he was

I was currently in my room. After that outburst from Jude, I wasn’t feeling comfortable anymore, so I told them that I was going back to my room.Firstly, I went to the kitchen, took my food and a glass of milk before going back to my room.After I finished eating, I dropped the tray on my nightstand, and I snuggled u see the warm blankets, feeling the softness of my bed envelop me. I tried taking a nap, but each time, I bounced back to thinking.Hours later, Lizzy came into my room, so I quickly shut my eyes to pretend like I was sleeping and she snuggled close to me as she placed her hands on my face, caressing it till she spoke.“You know you can’t deceive me, right?” I still kept shut cause I wasn’t ready for her scolding. But she chuckled when I still didn’t make a move, then she went for my nose. She held it and I quickly slapped her hands off and we bursted out in laughter.I gasped out as I spoke, “Do you wanna kill me?” I asked with a smile plastered on my face.She laughed b
FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty) HIS FIRST LOVE
I placed my hand on Seven, making him turn his gaze back at me. The room fell awkwardly silent as Kay came closer and asked if I was alright.I responded with a smile as I glanced back at Seven and I saw he was fuming. Clearly, he didn’t like the idea of Kay been this close to me, so he leaned closer and whispered to me that he’d be back. He has to receive a call.He stood up and left, making the atmosphere in the room change. We all started conversing, although Lizzy was a little distant. I knew she wasn’t happy that Seven had to leave because Kay was around.She liked Seven for me. He rounded up our conversation, and it was time for him to leave. So he placed a peck on my cheek the moment Seven walked in.My eyes snapped to the doorway as I saw Seven halt in his step before moving away for Kay to walk out.He didn’t say anything as the nurses came in to inject me with a sleeping dose, so I dozed off, obviously tired from the whole talk.I woke up the next day to see that it was jus

I flickered my eyes away from her back to Lizzy, and I signaled that she should come closer.Immediately she pulled her chair close to me, she rose, and sank onto the bed, as she arched her brows and rubbed my chin.I took my gaze from her back to the Tania, and then back to Lizzy again. But before I’d speak. Tania spoke up and insisted that she wanted to speak to me first.Ella stood up, strolled closer to the window as she no longer felt comfortable, so she spoke up through gritted teeth “You can see that she’s sick, tell her whatever you want to tell her later.”So I quickly took my gaze back to Tania. She drew closer as she fumbled with her fingers. “No, I want to tell her now.” She persisted.I nodded with my eyes squinting around waiting to hear her talk, “What’s it?”Hesitantly, she started off, “I’m sorry Starr. I doubted you so I misunderstood you. But it wasn’t my intention. Please understand me.”Confusion was etched on my face as I furrowed my brows trying to understand he

CHAPTER 60✍️Clamping my mouth tightly as I tried to take in the whole scenario that was displaying. I didn’t know what to do, so quickly, I moved my hands to reach for my handbag. 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.

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
FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty) UNEXPECTED
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
