2024-10-29 19:42:56An idea came into my head and I smile, all I had to do was make him forget about all this so I open my lips to speak. “You must still be wondering about my two dates, Monday and Tuesday.”
He stopped chewing his meal for a moment and glance at me, then he swallowed, sipping his wine and wiping off his lips with his napkin. “Yes, I am curious.”Now I got his attention and was sure that this would distract him from any punishment he must be thinking, even if he won’t hit me, as long as the word punishment was in it, I knew it would hurt.“On Monday was my friendship anniversary with Salsa and Daisy so we hanged out together, and the second was a date with my father …. He wants to remarry.” The thought of that excites me as I beam. “I’ll have a stepmother soon and a stepbrother.”Jeffery blinks and leans back to his chair folding his hands across his chest. “Why do we have so much in common?&rdqRelated chapters

After a lot of silence and tears, I took Jeffery to a bar, the worst place to end a birthday party, but what else can I do when his heart seems heavy and d he was In pain, also I heard that taking alcohol do relieve pain, even if that isn’t true.We sat down and ordered few bottles of soju and tex mex mixed with beef and chicken fajita ingredient served on a hot iron skillet. I poured a glass for Jeffery and he gulps it down, perhaps all the tears and talks had made him tasty.“Cindy let’s see my mother after now.” He spoke out of the blue and I blink, I wonder if he was already tipsy, but honestly, I was happy.The last time I saw Jeffery’s mother was during our childhood days and now I don’t think I could remember her face that much, also she had been so good to me in the past and had even treated me like her daughter, I was too little then and can’t remember what she looks like that much.“Okay, that is a good id

I arrived at the address Janet had told me about, when I got there I saw her pacing around and rubbing her hands together. “Janet,” I called out and she turned sharply and on her face was fear and worry. “What happened?”“I couldn’t find her anywhere, I have called her line and she isn’t picking up,” Janet told me as I held her hands. I wonder what was going on, but for something to make Janet this worried then it wasn’t good.“Have you checked at school?” it was late to be at school at this time, but I still need to ask.“She is not there, I have also checked her favourite restaurant and café.” She went on explaining. “I heard from two students that she failed her audition, I tried reaching her but she is not responding to her text and calls.”“We have to find her,” I said in a haste, the audition meant a lot to Kelly and I was scared that she might be cr

Jeffery’s POVI walked over to Cindy the next day in school, she looks okay and I knew by her expression that the emergency that had made her leave my house was resolved. “Cindy,” I called out and she turned to me.“Oh Jeffery, good to see you, I left my phone at your place yesterday, did you happen to see it?” I nod to her question and hands it over to her, she smiles and thanked me, but I just stare at her intensely.“Cindy, I happened to go through your pictures,” I said honestly and she looked up at me. “The man with you in that picture, who is he?” I asked her and a part of me wishes she would say it is someone else and not her father, a part of me want it to be someone she is not related to.“Oh, that’s my father.” She said with a smile on her lips. “Marcus White, he is very handsome isn’t he?” She showed me another picture of him, but I couldn’t return the smile

Let's break up, Cindy.Cindy blinks when I said the words and she raised her brow. "Hat did you just say?" She asked like she had not heard me."I don't love you anymore, so let's stop now," I spoke, but my heart was calling me a liar.Cindy smile and shook her head. "You are not being serious right now, you can't be, this must be one of your many jokes." She looks at my face and I was sure she could see the seriousness in it.She shook her head and the smiles on her face disappeared. "You can't joke with this." Her forehead puckered. "Are you breaking up with me?"I pressed down my lips, clench my fist under the table and exhaled softly, I can not watch Cindy crumble either, this was so difficult."As you heard," I said coldly."Why?" She leans close to the table and searches my eyes, but I made sure there was nothing to give away. "Tell me.""I have nothing to say to you." I looked away and got up to leave but she got up and held my wrist.

Cindy walked into the bus as she heads over to the bus she had once got to with Jeffery, Suzy who saw her leaving tailed her with her car.Cindy stood close to the beach watching the wave with sadness, her heart was filled with emotions and her eyes were all dried up from crying, it all seems like she can no longer cry.She watched the sea, this was the place Jeffery had made promises to love her more than he loved his father, he had said he will never leave her no matter what happens, but he had suddenly changed, after a night.She rubs her hands on her face, her eyes sting and her heart was heavy, she had thought everything she could and had arrived at an answer, Jeffery was hiding something from her, there must be something that made him change.She took out her phone and sent a text to him, tell him that she was at the beach and would not leave until he comes, that she was waiting for him.She folds her hands across her chest and stares into the water wi

I was so furious when I arrived home, too mad at all the lies I had lived in, all the secrets kept away from, it hurts me a lot that I had to destroy all I could lay hands on at the mansion just to calm my rage but the pain and anger were too much.I sat down in tears, what other lies had they kept away from me, does this means that I was alone all this while, was this the truth and why does it have to come out now.I place my hands on my head, it was spinning and filled with a lot of questions, I was in pain, both in my heart and in my heart, was this what they say about the truth? Was this why they said the truth hurts so much?“Jeffery,” I heard my mother’s voice, no, the voice of the lady who I had believed to be my mother alone.I looked up at her, wanting to know all the truth about her secrets. “Tell me how she is your daughter, how did she become your daughter?” I was in so much rage and was not able to control it. “Tel

Two weeks laterI was discharged from the hospital today after staying for two weeks as my father had told me, I was glad that after a lot of checkups there were no complications and the doctor said I was lucky I had strong bones, we still don’t know who the culprit was and I couldn’t see who had driven into me.“Dad,” I called out as I ate dinner with my father, he looked u at me waiting for me to continue. “Did Jeffery visit me at the hospital?”I waited for his response because when I became conscious I didn’t see Jeffery, the only people who came to see me were my friends and Russeli.“No.” I closed my eyes momentarily, I knew he had asked me to break up with him, I have also called him over at the beach and now I wonder if he came. “He was the one who took you to the hospital, but didn’t come after that.”I knitted my brows, if he had shown up at the beach and took me

Russell's POVI heard Suzy called out my name as I walked down the stairs, I was mad at myself for doing but right now I wanted to take Cindy out of my head as much as possible since there was no way we could ever be together.“What was that just now?” Suzy asked the moment she blocked my path, her brows snapped together as she glared at me.I wanted to scoff but stopped myself. “Wasn’t that what you wanted all these while, aren’t you happy?”“Should I be happy because of your angry kiss and lies?” She scoffed. “You are toying with me because of Cindy.” She raised her voice and I pinched the space between my brow.“Yes I used you,” I told her honestly and she slapped me across the face, she has a temper, but at this point, I didn’t care about anything. “I used you to send the person I truly love away, just to make her hate me, don’t even know if that worked.” I ch

Cindy POVDays went by, the show that would be a blast to the world was soon approaching, my live music, it has been broadcasted on many radio stations and almost everyone was waiting to hear it, and I also hope he was also waiting for it.I had thrown a reunion party and had invited most of my classmates, they had honoured the invitation and we had a blast and there was a lot of things we discussed, seems everyone was doing well, a lot of them were married and most of them had kids too.The only person who had not been present was Jeffery, D’mally and Chad had both come along but just like always none of them had heard anything from Jeffery, it seems he had disappeared into thin air with no clue, just like he had been hiding from me as he said.He had made it clear to me that he won't let me go d him, and this was the only promise he had kept for good six years, it was funny, leaving was what be wanted and hiding away was what he sealed.I may never find him but I ho

Cindy’s POVI walked into Janet restaurant, the place was big but empty, possible because I was coming over, today was our friendship anniversary and we never miss out on it.Kelly joined us not quite long as classic music played in the background, one of my favourites, but it only made my heart lonely, my friends were saying something while we ate but I was absentminded and so lost in my thought that I didn’t hear them call me.Kelly took the ice cream I was eating away from me and I looked at her with a frown. “You have taken too much already, so stop.” She told me and I looked down the table to see three empty plates of ice cream I have consumed.“Give it back,” I demanded, not ready to hear what they have to say but Janet hit the table with her hands and I flinched back and look at her face, her brow was creased and honest she looks like she could kill an ant.“You would get yourself sick if you continue.”

Jeffery POVI packed my clothes into my luggage and few documents in preparation to leave this country, this was the only way for Cindy to move on, I have thought about it and this was the only solution, we have been hurt and the pain was just too much to ignore.To me, I have lost everything, even if Cindy was to stay with me, I will not be happy looking at three faces that will forever feel sorry to me. I love Louisa even if she wasn’t my real mother, I don't want her to be too sad because of my life.“Jeffery, what are you doing?” I heard Louisa’s voice, unaware that she had joined me in my room.I stood up from the bed and look at her. “I am leaving this weekend,” I told her plainly and walked over to my wardrobe to take out my remaining wears.“What do you mean?” Louisa asked with a panicked voice as she walked over to me, I saw her furrowed brow through the mirror on the wall.“I have nothing h

Cindy I grab her coat and ran out of the house, it was rainy and I was not with an umbrella, but I didn’t mind, I did not care, I was focused as I recall the call I had received a few minutes ago.“Cindy, this is Louisa, I am giving you the permission to love Jeffery, he is not my son, he is not your half brother, so go find him and love him as much as you want.”This was all like a dream to me, Jeffery was not my real brother, this means I can still love him, my heart had not stopped loving him and I have my parent’s permission to love him, this was just too good, all I had to do was find Jeffery and I know just where he would be if he also knows about this.I arrived at the beach, it was pouring heavily and there Jeffery stood, under the rain, staring at the ocean, as I walked step by step closer, the words he had told me in the past echoed in my head.“I love my father so much, he was my best friend, the only person I feel s

JefferyI sat down in my room playing a video game, this seems to be the only thing that could distract me from thinking of Cindy, at this moment I could only close my mind to all the things that had happened lately.I heard a knock on my door, already knowing who it was I didn’t respond, the door opened and light footsteps approached me. “Let’s talk.” Louisa held my hands and l pull away from her.“I have nothing to talk about with you,” I said coldly, recently I have been acting this way, I don’t even speak with her, I was hurt and annoyed, I lost my love because of her.“Then just listen.” She shouted out of frustration, yanking the game control out of my hand to get my attention.“Why should I?” I raised my voice. “I am not interested in anything you have to say so leave me alone!” I got up to walk to the door, but her words stop me halfway.“The marriage has been ca

I was called to the rooftop by Suzy, I wonder what else she had to say this time since she is only full of shit, whereas she had said she won’t bother herself anymore with me.“Why did you call me here?” I saw her standing close to the rail and she was not looking like the rude and ever bold Cindy I know, but still, I knew I should be ready to defend myself if she tries to hit me again.“I have something to say to you.” She looks at me as she approaches me, I scrutinized her and she seems humble this time, her tone was soft like she wants to say something she was guilty of.“If it is about Jeffery, you can have him because I am no longer interested in him.” To my greatest surprise, the almighty Suzy knelt in frowned at me and I raised my brow curiously.“I am sorry.” She apologized out of the blue and this was not like a nonchalant apology, it was sincere and for a moment I was speechless and confused, she had

I walked over to Jeffery who was walking down the hallway, this time my heart feels blank and without admiration or feelings for this young man.“Let’s talk on the rooftop,” I told him seeing that there was a student around and I didn’t want to us.“I have nothing to say to you.” He said dryly and turn to walk away.“Follow me, I have something to say.” I watch him halt and walked upstairs to the rooftop which looks private for our discussion. I exhaled softly and turn around to look at his face, it was not sunny today, neither was it cloudy, the sky seems lonely just like my heart. “Say it immediately I don’t one to spare more time looking at you.” He was indifferent and nonchalant.“I realize why you are pushing me away now, I can understand your reason, but I have no intention of stealing your mother away from you since I believe I have only one mother which is my dead mother. Although I a

JefferyI gave Suzy enough time, knowing what she must have done after taking the file, I picked up my phone and called her, it was after two rings that she picked the call.“Jeffery.” She called out from the other side of the line like someone who had done nothing and it only made me laugh, this was the reason why monsters are horrible.“You did not call back, so I am returning the call.” I tap my hand on my desk, this would have been more interesting if I would see her face and reaction, but I went ahead anyway. “Have you done it?”“Done what?” She hesitated before speaking and I could sense her fear from where I sat.“I know you took the test results, but I wanted you to see it, that was the reason I took you to my house and left you alone in my room,” I said with a smile as I stare at Cindy’s picture that was on my desk, she must be in tears right now for this shocking discovery.&ldq

JeffreyI took her to my room and lock the door behind us as she looked up at me terrified but I smile with ease as she moves backwards I unbutton my shirt, exposing my naked body, then I glance down at her.“Cooperate, Suzy, take off your clothes,” I told her, but she kept moving back and away from me. “You wanted this don’t you.” I raised my brow and wiggle them at her.“Jeffery…”She wanted to say something but I caught her waist and pulled her close to me, covering her lips in mine as I kissed her roughly, I wasn’t enjoying this so I try to think of the one person I would want to make love to.“I love you,” I said in a whisper as I looked at Suzy’s face, but the person I saw was Cindy, my dear Cindy, I felt something warm roll down my cheek as I went in for another kiss but stopped.“Jeffery, it is me, Suzy.” Suzy’s voiced out and I blink, then I released her
