83. IT’S DIFFICULT TO LIE
Was Sophia in any way shocked by what Debby said? Yes, she was more than shocked. Owing to what followed after the night out at the Wreakin’, she could never have imagined that Debby would settle for such a low-class and faceless thief like Leo.
“I am not the one keeping secrets after all!” she thought.
She knew she heard the name Leo but decided to be careful still and not jump to conclusions. She wanted to be sure of what she heard so she asked again, “Girl, what was Leo doing in your house before he got shot? And why are you crying that he got shot?”
Debby’s eyes got widely opened. She suddenly realized what she just did. In her moment of pain, she has let out a top secret that could get Sebastian arrested and charged to court for various crimes that he was wanted for.
Leo had told her not to trust anyone except Officer Steve. That might not include Sophia, or c

I was suspecting that something was wrong when I spoke at the early hour of the day at my house. But now I know for sure that she is hiding something.“Why is she hiding details about Sebastian?” I questioned myself over and over again.“I think your friend is trying to hide something,” Officer Steve added when he noticed the look on my face.“Yeah I know she is hiding something but I could not understand what she is hiding,” I thought to myself. “But whatever it is, it must be very dear to her because she has never hidden anything from me,” I thought further.Debby was already waiting for me in the car. As I and Officer Steve stood talking, our eyes were fixed on her, trying all I could to always smile whenever she looks in my direction so she did not suspect anything.“What do you think she could be hiding?” I asked
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 85. BETRAYING A FRIEND
Officer Steve frowned. “What the fuck!” he yelled so loud on the inside.He was disappointed. That’s not new, he already knew that. What he wanted to hear is something more than that, something that was lacking in Debby’s statement.“Wait! I thought you… you definitely know that I already know that. I need something I could use to crack this case. So I thought you…”“And that’s what I’m telling you,” Sophia snapped sharply.Officer Steve cut his statement short and listen to her again. She looked at Debby who is still on phone talking and laughing gleefully. She had definitely put the horrible night behind her.“Oh my God! Am I really going to do this?” Sophia blurted out in frustration. She struggled with herself to speak but the feeling of betraying a friend got her convicted so she began havi
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 86. PROTECTING MY LOVE
“What the fuck!” I yelled so loud in my mind as Jakes called out the name of the one man I don’t want anyone to know about.“How did he know it was Bale that attacked me last night? I’m beginning to lose trust in Sophia and he just spilled that right into her ears? Damn!”I could see the shock on Sophia’s face upon hearing the name of the shooter.“Wait!” she said and moved away from where she was standing by the door to come over to us.“Jakes! Did you just say that it was Bale who did the shooting last night?”“Yes. That mother fucker must pay for what he did to our house, and the pain she caused my sister.”I don’t even know how to stop the conversation so he doesn’t get to say more than that. I saw Sophia nodding her head. I wonder what she was going to do with that
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 87. POOR BOY
Ever since I resumed work at the Hallow Hospital and met this guy called Brian, I always know him for being straightforward.But suddenly he has become someone who loves to keep me in suspense. That was what led to the error of kissing him, a kiss I know will have more things ahead to cause more havoc than good.I don’t always like it when people make me figure out their thoughts. And that is exactly what Brian loves doing. He was keeping me waiting for what he had to say endlessly. At one point, I started wondering if it is about the kiss. Maybe he wants to ask me out but doesn’t know how to say it.“I heard what happened to you last night in your apartment. I am so sorry,” he apologized sweetly, his voice a little shaky.I could not help but laugh silently. He sounded as if he was responsible for what happened. But at least my fears got allayed the moment he said that. We ha
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 88. JOAN IN MY SPACE!
I was feeling uncomfortable already seeing Joan pacing around the bunk room as she is doing right now. Of course, the bunk room is for every worker but she has never been here before, at least since I came. And if you know her as I do, you would be more worried for me than I am right now. She is always full of surprises. Like a chameleon, you can hardly predict what she has in store for you.“What is she doing in my space?” I asked, not that I own the room all to myself, but I normally feel in charge whenever I’m here.“Going somewhere?” she asked, her eyes fixed on the cloth I am holding.“Yes!”“Hmm!” she remained silent for a while.I wish I could just walk out and get going but I was afraid she would tell on me. And my guess was right because she said, “You just got to work after spending almost half of your wo
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 89. A MEETING WITH MR. EDWARD!
“Don’t you see I was working on something before you walked in?” Mr. Edwards concluded.Wait a minute, did this old man just call me a dumb ass? What a fuck!He looked unmoved, yet to even look up at me, his hand holding a pen so tight like someone was coming to snatch it from him.The sound of his voice was terrifying. He sounded like someone that is highly offended and looking for the perfect time to explode.“I’m sorry Mr. Edwards!” I apologized.“You should be sorry because what you just did can get you fired.”He looked up at me for the first time and lifts one of the files he was working on and pointed it at me.“Do you see this paper that looks ordinary, it can buy you, your brother, and all that your parents left behind for you.”He returned the paper
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 90. SOPHIA AND OFFICER STEVE?
“I am going to end up like my stupid father?” I repeated what he said to myself in my head. But is my father stupid?Of course not. My father was a genius. He was such a genius decades after his death, people are looking for the paper he wrote. Come what may, I am going to get my hands on that paper so I could prove to that old man that he was wrong about my dad.Stupid old man!“How can he say I will end up like my dad? Whatever that means, I won’t end up like my dad,” I muttered to myself.What he said seemed to mean more than what I heard. But I was so engrossed with getting to the police station on time before they found out what I was hiding on their own. That could make them not trust me.Does Mr. Edwards even have a faint idea of what happened already? Damn!Whoever gave him the information might have some evid
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 91. A LUNCH WITH BRIAN
I could hear murmuring all around the room as I walked out of Steve’s office earlier but I paid no attention to any. They had the right to murmur. I have been a frequent visitor to the station lately.I know Sophia was running after me. I could hear her footsteps thumping lightly on the floor as she runs after me. But I kept moving. Tears wear already forming around my eyes and any little word from my mouth make them come pouring out.I wanted to avoid that, especially so I keep moving as fast as my legs could carry me. The moment I got out I wasted no time stopping a taxi.“Debby please wait!” came her voice calling out to me but she was too late. I was already seated in the taxi.The taxi driver was a young, handsome man of Africa American descent, well-built. He is the type that likes flirting with their customers but I don’t have much time. He kept talking and teasing me.
