"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
“Please don’t start, Ri.”“I already put up the disclaimer that I hate to say this.”“I mean, of all the women in the world, he keeps coming back to you. One would assume he would let go of you since the date night but turns out that the thought of you keeps driving him crazy.”“It’s just an obsession. He will be over me in no time.”“It’s been over a month since you guys met. I don’t think obsession lasts for that long.”“Then that would be so sad because there is no way that I’m ever going to have anything to do with him. Even if he was to be the last man on earth.”“I understand you, Babe. His actions are totally unforgivable.”“Gina was here to apologize on his behalf. She also extended an invitation for her daughter’s wedding.”“What? She invited you to Anita’s wedding?”“You know her daughter’s name? What are you again, a stalker?”“Come on, Bea, you would know that I’m not a stalker if you had an active social media life. The wedding has been the talk of the town for months now
“The difference between them is so clear. Gina seems really humble. The day she came to see me, she also mentioned that her Girls do not give her issues like Debock.”“That’s really insane. Poor woman. He must have been a handful to her.”“But She’s so kind. I can’t believe she hugged me. Girl, I’m never going to take a shower. I want to have her scent on me forever.”Beatrice chuckled, rolling her eyes at Rita.“She’s so happy that we came. What a beautiful soul! I’m loving this party already.” Rita chuckled.Soon enough, they were approached by the person Gina pointed to earlier. He was tall, light-skinned with dark hair, dressed in a well-fitted suit, and had a beautiful dimpled smile.“Good to meet you. I’m Carlos Debock.” He smiled at both ladies but his eyes were more on Beatrice. Rita noticed that and then tried to give the duo some privacy.“I’m Rita.” She introduced herself, stretching out her hand to him.Carlos brought her hand to his lips and placed a polite kiss on it.“I
“So you eventually showed up?” Carlos said in disbelief, sighting Daniel.Raising her head, the smile on Beatrice’s face faded the moment she sighted him.“Why won’t I? It’s my sister’s wedding remember?” he answered, trying to stay settled when in fact, he felt so much discomfort inside of him. He saw Carlos and Beatrice talking and laughing so freely earlier on and that angered him a lot because he never got to experience that sweet gesture with her. Rather, they were always on bad terms. And the fear of Beatrice liking his cousin was slowly starting to eat him up.“For someone who swore not to show up, it’s nice to see that you do not keep to your word. Remind me not to ever take you seriously again.”Daniel ignored Carlos and all that he was saying and turned his attention to the lady beside him who seemed very shocked by his presence.”“Hi, Beatrice.” He voiced out, staring intently at her.“You two know each other?” Carlos asked, looking from Beatrice to Daniel and then back to
