"She's fine, Sir. She came back from work a while ago." "Did she change her number because I've been trying to reach out to her and her number isn't going through." "No sir, She still uses the Same number. Perhaps you should keep trying." Dan had no idea what to say anymore so he ended the call. He tried Beatrice's number almost immediately but it didn't go through. He kept his phone aside and continued to take off his clothes. He took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and instantly got into bed. He had never missed anyone the way he missed her and he would never admit it. ................ Since it was her day off, Beatrice slept away all her tiredness and eventually stood up from bed at 11. She cleaned up her house after which she decided to take the trash out and then make breakfast. Before she could step out of her door, her eyes met with a big white envelope on the floor. She went to dump the trash and then came back to it. She picked up the envelope and then went back in
"You wouldn't pick up my call so I had to come all the way here." Dan sighed, massaging his temple. "Your sister's wedding is in seven days. I'm not here to plead with you to attend. It takes me nothing to dial your Grandma and tell her how you've been so hesitant about showing up." "Is Grandma not meant to be on some medical check-up trip?" "The doctor was able to pull a few strings for her and she would be at Anita's wedding. And of course, She expects you to be there with Natalie." "Listen to me carefully, Mom. I don't love Natalie, she's my past and there's no way I'm going to have anything to do with her ever again." "So who are you gonna present to your Grandmother?" "I'll figure something out." Gina smiled, "So that means you are going to show up on Saturday." "I wouldn't be excited if I were you. All I have to do is to see Grandma and come up with the perfect excuse." "You're so impossible! What the hell is it with you?" "Who exactly are you angry with? Anita or your
Hi Guys, if you started reading this book before 4th December, 2023, please you need to read again from Chapter 1 so you won't get confused because this book was rewritten. Thank you. …………………………………"Why the hell are you all even friends when you can't tell each other the truth?" Gina said to Henry. They were outside the office building, waiting for Gina's driver to bring the car over. "You know how stubborn Dan can be. I mostly don't know anything he does until after he has done the act." "I feel so terrible right now. It's so traumatizing to think that my son is involved in this kind of act. I really don't know what to say. My head feels so heavy." Gina said, trying so hard not to tear up. "I perfectly understand you, Gina. But please try to stay calm. I know how you feel because it's affecting my personality too. Beatrice wouldn't even talk to me because she believes I'm no different from Dan since I'm his friend." I'm sorry you feel terrible but the truth is just that Dan is a
"I'm going to murder you and him if that ever happens!!!" Daniel glared at his best friend who was smirking at him. "You know there's no harm asking for help if you don't know what to do. You've never experienced love before and that is why you are all over the place." "I'm not in love with..." "Shut the fuck up, dude!!!!! You are an expert in other areas of life but you are so clueless when it comes to having a good relationship with someone you truly care about." "I would gladly throw your words back at your face. You do make fun of me and my babe but it is with great pleasure to let you know that being in love or expressing your feelings for a woman doesn't make you a weak man and neither does it make you stupid." "For things to get better, you need to be honest with yourself first." "Be honest and accept your feelings. Only then would you have a clear head and a clear mind to think of what is right and also do what is right." "I'm not proud of how you've handled things so f
"Why are you smiling so brightly?" Bea asked her bestie who was chuckling, replying to a text on her phone."You should come to the club tonight."Beatrice frowned at her. "Have I ever had any reason to be there?""Come on, don't act like it's a bad place. Besides, you were there a few months back.""Yeah," Beatrice rolled her eyes. "That was because I got a call that you were drunk. Obviously, someone had to bring you home.""You don't need to throw it at my face.""I would rather stay at home and die of boredom than to be in a crowded place filled with intimidating people, booze, and loud music.""Wow! Never knew you hated me and my job!'"No, I don't. I would rather lay on my couch than to be there.""No problem, I'll tell Dax that you said you would rather lay on your old couch than to come to his party."Bea turned her attention away from her phone. "It's Dax's birthday?""Yes, and he's throwing a party at the club. Free drinks for everyone in the general lounge.""I'm just recov
"You want to join us for some drinks?" Chad offered.Bea shook her head immediately. "You all's best friend took advantage of me in disguise for a friendly dinner. I know better now.""See what I told you? Everyone else will surely see us the way they see Debock." Chad said to Henry.Daniel grabbed Beatrice's arm once more and rushed her out of the bar area through the VIP exit. He didn't stop until they got to the car park area, right in front of his car where he let go of her hand after she struggled with him."What the hell has come over you? Look what you are wearing?"Bea took a look at her outfit. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" She asked, not that she cared about his thoughts.She was putting on a short leather skirt, with an asymmetrical crop top that revealed her belly button and a bit of her cleavage. Her hair was curled up and her makeup was good. She had jewelry on and also matching boots."Holy shit, Bea. All the men in that club were literally gawking at you. Inclu
Beatrice frowned, clutching her tote bag tighter to her arm as she saw a strange car parked outside her bungalow apartment.Her heart started beating faster as she took slow steps, hoping that it wasn't who she thought it was. She had no idea who the car belonged to but there was a chauffeur standing outside the car, just by the door to the driver's seat. She didn't know much about cars but she knew it was a luxurious one.The plan was to ignore and go straight into her apartment like she saw nothing but Bea was forced to stop in her tracks when the driver opened the door to the back seat and then she saw an awfully familiar face come out of the car.She sighed internally, wondering what was happening."Beatrice, please wait up!" The voice came through before Bea could get to her door. She obeyed and turned around as the person approached her.Even by her appearance, it was evident that she didn't belong to this community. Bea was sure the designer dress, heels, jewelry, and handbag s
There was silence between the duo for a couple of seconds.“What do you mean?”“I asked you a question, Daniel Tucker and I want you to answer me.”“Mom, what does this have to do with the question I asked you?”“You were involved with her twice, you made her sign a marriage contract and now you are keeping tabs on her! It’s abnormal to behave this way towards someone that you don’t have a deep interest in.”“You love her, don’t you?”“I don’t do love.”“With this behavior, you are never going to have her.”“How do you know? She signed a contract!” Daniel said possessively.“You don’t know who you are dealing with, do you?”“That’s why nothing seems to be going the right way despite all the efforts that you are putting.”“You think she’s just like any woman who will be lured into your arms all because you are Daniel Debock Tucker?”“The first step to doing the right thing is to admit your feelings before her. That is going to give you a clearer head on how to go about things. She’s a
