94. THE SUMMON
When you need help desperately, it makes you vulnerable. That’s exactly what I am feeling right now. I might be causing a problem for myself by seeking to solve the current problem I have using Joan as a means.
But what do you expect me to do? Just fold my hands and do nothing when all the walls around me are tumbling down already? Hell no!
Joan definitely knows things that might help me. I don’t care if she has been a foe from school days. So I gave her the best possible attention that I can.
But instead of speaking further, she was just looking. I thought I was the one she was looking at until I discovered that she was not looking at me at all.
“I think you have been summoned again,” she said.
“Summoned? By who?”
Signaling with her head at the oncoming guy behind me, she said, “Look behind you.”

My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 95. THAT CANNOT BE JAKES
In my rage I turned to the wall, strategizing on how to react. I could still hear them arguing but I could not make out what they were saying because my mind was preoccupied with different thoughts.I don’t understand why they both are trying to ridicule me.Just when I turned to give them a piece of myself, Kathy was no longer where she was earlier. I didn’t notice her walking out of the room so I was surprised.I turned to the door and was quick enough to catch her back as she walked out in a rage, not even bothering to shut the door behind her.“You are lucky you got out on time,” I said to myself.I could, to an extent tolerate Lucas's excesses because he is a Halloway, my boss. But Kathy? Hell no. whoever she thinks she makes no difference to me.I returned to Lucas who was fuming with rage. It was as if he wanted to burst. Though
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 96. THE INTRUDER
“Jakes cannot be moving like that,” I thought. “This must be an intruder.”I stopped the shower to listen, and the person that opened the door also seemed to stop moving. My heart skipped several beats, wondering who it could be that is walking into my room.“Could it be Bale? Maybe he has come back to finish what Sebastian could not allow him to finish. Unfortunately for me, Sebastian is not here to defend me today.”A thousand and one thoughts were flashing through my mind. If I had listened to Walter, I wouldn’t be home by today. But where do I go? Sophia’s house is already out until I know what is truly going on. I could not reach Sebastian, my defender.“Oh my God! I would have gone to my former hospital to spend the night there with whoever was on the night shift. Or maybe go to the medical director’s house since he was a very good fri
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 97. TELLING THE TRUTH
“Yes, I need to tell him what is likely going to happen to me. That way, he would be ready if I don’t make it through cancer,” I thought. My heart was resolved but my lips were not cooperating. Tears were already forming in my eyes, threatening to come pouring down any moment. I quickly moved my eyes from him to the picture of his girlfriend on the wall. “You are yet to tell me who she is, I mean her name,” I said instead, unable to tell him what I wanted to say. I changed my mind because today seem not to be the right day for the bad news. He is in such high spirits, happy that he would finally be going to college. Let me allow him to enjoy this moment and not spoil it for him. “She is Alicia,” he said, his eyes on her picture and not even blinking as he speaks. I could see the joy on his face. The worried look he had on earlier when he saw how moody I suddenly b
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 98. A VISIT TO THE GRAVE
As I picked up the phone and inputted my password, I discovered Joan had called me severally and left a message when I didn’t pick up.“Why was she calling?” I wondered.I quickly opened the text message and it reads, “Concerning Sebastian, I want you to see me immediately after you get to work. Something just came up and I need to talk to you. Make sure it is at least twenty minutes before the ward round. Treat it as urgent!”“Treat as urgent?” I muttered.“If anything is wrong, then I would find out once I get to work,” I reassured myself.I wanted to leave the food because I was so anxious to get to work on time so I could see her before the ward round as she said but I know Jakes won’t like it that he took his time to cook me. Besides, it was French toast, dipped in cinnamon egg batter, there’s no way I’m
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 99. JOAN IS EVIL
Have you ever been in a situation and could not find the perfect word to use to explain how you were feeling? That was the situation I found myself in.The mist that covered the woman's figure could not allow me to see the face of this dreadful being that came out of my mom’s grave. She is not her because the shape I saw was thinner than her when she was alive.“Whoever this is, she does not mean good for me,” I thought.I could not see her clearly, yet I knew she was walking towards me, but slowly because for several minutes, I could not see her yet.Gradually, the mist started clearing away and I could now see her coming toward me. I was terrified. I wanted to run but could not, and neither could I shout for help. I was held spellbound by this spirit.My heart was beating so fast and loud, in a very harmonious way that you can hardly tell between it and when a
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 100. DEATHBED
“Falling in love is not for doctors,” that’s one of the philosophies of one of my lecturers back in medical school.His reason? He said when a doctor falls deeply in love and got heartbroken because of the uncertainties of life, he or she might mistakenly give a patient the wrong treatment and even end up killing him.Though he used to say it as a joke, those words have always been a part of me, partially a philosophy that might be partly responsible for my approach to dating.As I was seeing Sebastian lying on that bed, nothing crossed my mind but the joy that I have finally seen him.As a doctor that I am, I had witnessed such scenes several times. Yet I could not read between the lines so I ran and fell on him, placing my head on his chest, my hair resting freely over his body.“I am so sorry sweetheart. It was all my fault!” I said al
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 101. TAKING THE RISK
I didn’t know it would be difficult to die. Even though I wanted to die, ironically I found myself struggling to survive. I changed my mind and decided to swim back to the surface but it was too late for me. I gathered the little strength left in me and pushed myself upward but I went not more than a few feet.My eyes began to close as the grip of death finally got a hold of me. In that moment of the throes of my journey to my final abode in the afterlife, the thought of how Jakes would survive without me is all that remained in my memory.Yes! Sebastian needs me in the afterlife, and so does Jakes. I got caught between choosing the one I love, and the one with whom the blood flowing through my veins I share.Regretting my action and thinking Jakes might forever remember me as being selfish, I decided to give my last fight, if perhaps I could win against death and remedy the damage that I was about to cause t
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 102. A JOURNEY GONE TOO FAR
It was a hell of a night. After taking multiple bullets until I lost count of how many bullets found their way into my body, all hope that I would ever survive disappeared. My only fear was for those for whom I was fighting. If I die now without laying my hand on that paper, all I have been through are a waste!I wish I could speak one more time. I would have begged Debby to do all she can to find her dad’s paper and see that my mom comes out of prison. I wanted to show her how to access where I kept the papers to the shares that I have in my grandfather’s company because I had already instructed my lawyer to make her my beneficiary.I would rest in peace wherever I’m going if that is done. But that is not to be because my teeth are already clenching and had refused to part so I could mutter, even if it would be the last time I would ever speak to her.Oh, I hate this world, so unpredictable.&nb
