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
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 103. HE IS ALIVE!
As I entered Walter’s car, I don’t know what I was going to see. My dream terrified me so much that I almost started mourning Sebastian even before I get there. I already have a mental picture of what lay ahead of me.I wish he would have answered even one of the numerous questions that I asked him but he was just mum, focusing only on the wheel. My fear knew no bounds. My heart was pounding loudly. My hand was holding tightly to the car seat as if I was afraid of falling off.“God! Let this dream not come to pass this time around,” I prayed silently.My fear tripled when Walter pulled up in front of a house that was the same as the one I saw in my dream.“Walter, where are we?” I asked curiously just to confirm my fear and my dream.“This is Sebastian’s private apartment, this is where I brought him,” he said coldly.&
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 104. THE NEED TO LIE
As I alighted from the taxi that morning, I was wearing an unusual smile. The gloomy look I have carried for days finally disappeared. I have been united with Sebastian. And with my brother about to start school, I have little to worry about.I was greeting everybody I met on my way as I walked through the hospital going to my usual spot. Even people that had not seen me, I was throwing greetings at them. I guess they were all surprised because for days I have practically avoided everyone.But I still have two problems, no, three rather, that I know await me as I resume work. First is Joan who definitely might be thinking that I deceived her last night, Lucas who threatened and gave me twenty-four hours to tell him where Sebastian is, or get reported to the police for the murder of his cousin, and also Edwards Halloway's demand which was similar to Lucas but could mean more danger than that of the former.Well, getting m
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 105. THE TRAP
I kept calling all through the day, the moment I got through with an operation or surgery, the next thing I would do is to call him.I could not remember the number of times that I called Sebastian that day. I lost count of it. I know he could yet talk for long, but I just want to hear his voice and make sure he is fine. Just the word “Hello sweetheart” that he coos anytime I called him satisfies me more than any delicious meal that I have ever eaten.I bumped into Brian several times during the day and he could not understand who I was always talking to on phone looking so happy. He seemed too confused to even stop me. But just before his shift was over, he summoned the courage and walked up to me in the bunk room where I was resting.“Hi!” he greeted, more of getting my attention than a courtesy.“Hey! Brian, what’s up?”“I’
