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

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
FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty) CHAPTER 79
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
