Eric's POVI am always seen as the villain, I knew I went far, I couldn't control my rage and the fact that my grandfather was there.I didn't want him to know how important Phoebe was to me. I know if I tried defending her or said anything good to her again, he would investigate her.I expected her to be angry at me but her silence makes it impossible for me to not feel guilty. The same with Andrew, he keeps talking to me like nothing happened.I heard a knock on the door. "Sir it's me, Andrew, I would like to know if you would be needing anything?" Andrew said."No I don't, you can go back to sleep, it's only five in the morning" I informed him."Yes Sir" he responded."Wait" I called him back. I wanted to ask him a few questions. "Come in Andrew, I need us to talk. Be honest with me, you are angry at me again, right? I asked him."No I am not angry at you sir, I have no right to do so" he answered."You never cared about that before, so why now?" I asked again."Sir, what do you wa
The Hong mansion.Grandfather Hong called Philip to his home office. "Gramps you called for me," Philip said to him.His back was facing Philip, so he turned and faced him. "Yes, it's good you're here", he said."I need you to find out who exactly that woman we saw at the meeting and the Gala is to your cousin", he added."What?" Philip was startled, he didn't understand why his grandfather would be interested in the woman unless he knew something he didn't, he thought to himself.Why? I thought she wasn't important. By the look of it, Eric didn't care about her," Philip pointed out."Don't tell me you also fell for that trick?" Gramps asked.Philip was more confused now, "what trick was he talking about, I was the one who plotted everything so??" he questioned himself."Gramps, what are you talking about? What tricks?" he asked.Grandfather Hong took his seat and sighed."Hmmm, so you did fall for it," he said to him."Did you think Eric would embarrass himself in front of everyone a
"She reminded me of you, you guys are quite similar in a sense. It was the reason I got closer to her. I was curious about how two different people could be so similar.I knew we didn't chat often, but I was watching you from afar. You were always smiling with everyone, having fun with friends, and always being active in everything.You were quite the wildling, which was similar to Evelyn." he said to me. It was a lot to take in.I started asking myself, Did he like me too? Or was he just saying something sweet to me because of his guilt? I didn't need that.It hurts so bad, I had so many questions to ask him. " if we were similar, why didn't you come and look for me? Why did you fall in love with her and not me? So many whys.My head was hurting until Evelyn showed up holding her phone with an angry face. I got nervous for a second.She got closer and showed me something on her phone. It was the article with my face on it, which was titled "The Slum Girl From Nowhere"." What is this
Phoebe went home after saying her goodbyes to Mrs. Coleman, Evelyn, and Kobby.She was so tired. She needed to rest because tomorrow she had to give a presentation on the project.Andrew came by and noticed her door open. He saw her sleeping soundly.Accra, Ghana.At Ella's house, Catrine came to see her, she looked worried and agitated. When she entered the house, she quickly showed something on her phone Ella." Have you seen this?""Yes, I have. I have been trying to get to her but have had no response from her.""Call her now""Why should I call her?? When you could also do so. Besides I just told you she doesn't pick up my calls." I spoilt my phone two days ago due to anger issues.""Then what are you holding?""My mom's, she would kill me if I make calls with her phone. So no calls for me for a month. I can only browse.Ella laughed. "What is funny about this?" she asked. "Your temper" Ella answered and laughed again."Please call her," Cat says gritting herteeth.Ella took he
She felt the need to continue rumbling and tell them a piece of her mind. “You think I was ok with you humiliating me in front of everyone? Do you think I like working with people who hate my guts and gossip about me when I am not around?"Your workers don't like me. They talk shit behind my back."You think I like it huh !!! Phoebe yells."You know nothing about me as I do you. I worked so hard to get to where I am now.I am not smart like you or my brother."But there is nothing I can do because, in the end, I have to provide for both my mama and brother."I am not like this, I don't just stand there and listen to people shading me."It's all because of him and so if you think I liked working on that project you are wrong."I can't pretend to be someone I am not anymore. This is me and if you all can't have me like this then I am truly not welcome here.After pouring her heart out she took her bag and left without looking back."Sir, should I follow her?" Andrew asked with a worrie
Eric's House"You finally woke up," Eric said to Phoebe who had woken up after drinking a full can of alcohol."Shit, what did I do this time?" she said to herself. "May I know why I am in your room?"She asked.Eric didn't feel like giving her an answer, he stood up and walked past her. He turned and said, "I will leave that to you to figure out"."Oh and before I forget, since you have been out for a long time, which is noon by the way. Make sure you leave my room spotless.Clean it up very well, I do not want to come and see this" he points at his messy bed and the surroundings."And you, especially you", he added.Phoebe didn't respond immediately but nodded in agreement. Eric turned to leave."Wait" Phoebe called out."What is it?" Eric said sounding irritated."I want to say something. I am sorry for getting drunk and messing up your room.Whatever happened after getting drunk, I didn't mean for it to happen" Phoebe explained to him.For some reason, Eric didn't like the respons
"Why are you here Kobby? Did you follow me to make me feel more pathetic!!" She said and shook him violently."Stop stop I am not whoever you think I am. Stop shaking me. Damn, she is drunk as hell" Eric said.He was about to lay her off him when she suddenly touched his left cheek softly."I love you," she said as she draw closer to him. Eric couldn't take his eyes off her lips which were getting closer to his.Their lips touch for a second and he became stiff. Suddenly he smelled something different than usual.It was a nice smell but suddenly it smelled disgusting. He slowly lowered his head only to see Phoebe puke all over his clothes from his chest to his lower part."Damn you Phoebe" he cried out.Eric's POV.I shook my head to stop thinking about last night. I had to take five baths before I felt clean.And now she is acting like a boss lady in front of me when she looked messy yesterday night."Sir we are here", Andrew called out."Hmmm, another long meeting".Accra, GhanaCat
Accra, Ghana.Jonathan hadn't spoken to Patricia for a month now. Her brother had made an effort in making sure they never cross paths on campus.Jonathan started to think he was really hated by Patricia's brother. He had gone too far, consistently trying to make it impossible for him to have a conversation with Patricia.He would follow her around with some of his group of friends. And when she was alone she had guards hiding around to see if anyone would come close.Patricia was like a princess locked in a castle and protected by guards.
