"Oh!" He mouthed and paused.
"Well, she can still make use of it. It isn't like she's gonna bump into the room he's using or something. Just be careful; Bethel; okay?"W...What?
I...I don't think I can go in."He had gone left. So, I think you should go right" one of the guards said, looking at me.
Oh, my God!
They're really letting me in.I was tempted to say 'I'll wait',But I was so pressed and needed to wee.What do I do?"Come on, Bethel. Or do you wanna wait?' Mum's friend asked and I looked at him, speechless.
Then, I shook my head and started walking in. Oh, God! I suddenly feel so nervous.
Ryan's in here?
What if he sees me?Like...We get to meet or something?
I kept counting my steps as I walked into the big room which looked like a sitting room and then I got to a passage with a parting.Hold on; which way did the guard ask me to go out again?
Oh, God! I've forgotten.I looked left and right and took the left passage.I walked steadily, looking at the different rooms which lined up.I tried opening the first one, but it was locked.
I went over to the second one, still locked.Then, I got to the third one and noticed it was open.But just when I was about opening it, I suddenly heard strange voices from the fourth room.Huh?What's going on there?I left the third door and walked silently to the fourth.
The voices became clear. Was someone in?Wait! Could this be the passage Ryan had taken?I placed my ear on the door and...Oh, my God!!!
What the hell?They were...They were moans...sexual moans.I could clear hear the lady's voice:
"Oh, Ryan...YesF**k me harder...Oh, yeah"Ryan...Oh..."I gasped and furrowed my brows in surprise.
Oh, my God! Was this for real?I shook my head and placed my ear on the door again. I could only hear the lady's voice. Ryan wasn't even moaning.Oh, my! Was he really there? So the rumours were true? He's really a flirt?
I sighed and stared at the door.This is so unbelievable.I can't believe Ryan's actually making out with a lady in the restroom.
I shook my head in bewilderment and went over to the next door which was a bit far from Ryan's.I got in and quickly sat on the seat, realising all the liquid.Gosh! This feels so good.I placed my chin on my palm and reminisced what I just heard. It was still shocking to me.
That was the first time I had been that close to people making out and I just couldn't believe it.So; the almighty Ryan was having a good time with a lady in the restroom? No wonder he told the guards not to let anyone in.Geez!
I can't wait to tell Nicole about this.I wonder who that lady is. She must feel like the luckiest girl on earth right now.How dumb!After spending a long time on the toilet seat cogitating, I stood up and looked around for some water, but couldn't find any. I used the one connected to the toilet to flush.
Then, I went out of the room and decided to look around for the washbasin.I needed to wash my hand.I glanced at "Ryan's" room and wondered if they were still in there.I didn't go to check but just went ahead to look for the washbasin.
Luckily, I found one around the corner and I kept my bag on the table and tuned on the water.There was a big mirror in front of it and as I washed my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror and stupidly smiled.Crazy.I looked down at the water and was about turning it off when a thin light shun pass me from the mirror.What light was that? It seemed to be reflections from jewelries.I lifted my head to the mirror and I swear, for the first time in my life, I felt my heart skip.
Whaaaaaaat?R...R...R...Ryan??Whaaaaat?I quickly turned in a flash and found him standing and staring at me from a distance. He was leaning against the wall.
His dark eyes bored into mine and that was when I realised the light I had seen was from the pure gold jewelries he was putting on.Oh, my God!
My throat suddenly went dry. Why am I this nervous?I'm...I'm standing in front of Ryan Winthorp!For real?I was so speechless and didn't even know what to say or do; to move or stand?
"What're you doing here?" He finally asked in a cold voice, staring vacuously.
"I thought I ordered the guards not to let anyone in?"Bethel's Pov:I swear, I never thought I could be this nervous in my entire life.I felt my heart thumping as I stared into his face. Oh, my gee! Is he this handsome?I mean, this was the first time I was having such a close view of his face and oh, my! He looks heavenly gorgeous - far more than he appeared on TV and magazines.Gosh! No wonder all the ladies were crazy over him.He had this dark pretty - sexy eyes and little pink soft looking lips and the gold ring on his ear glittered.He was putting on a red long sleeve, but the little part of his hand that I saw was covered in tattoos.Wow! So Ryan Winthrop's for real?We kept staring at each other and I actually forgot he asked a question. What?I mean, I can't answer such question.I quickly turned back to the running water and turned it off. I almost forgot about it.gosh!I'm really sorry nervous right now.&nbs
Roxanne's Pov:When I woke up the next morning, I couldn't find mum at home as she had already left for work. Perfect!I followed my normal morning routine - took my bath, ate and left for school.I got to class and met Nicole there already. I wonder If I can ever beat her to it. She comes too early."Hello princess' she teased as I sat next to her."Hi" I replied with an eye roll and she laughed."I've been waiting the entire day for you, B. So tell me, how was...""You wouldn't believe what happened" I caught her off, knowing what she wanted to say.Her eyes beamed immediately."Oh, my gee! Bethel, spill it out already" she said curiously and I smiled."Well, first of all, I caught him making out with a lady in the restroom" I said and she gasped and dilated her eyes."What???" She shrieked."Making out...you mean they were having s3x
Ryan's Pov:"Ryan, come on; you can't possibly do this to me. You can't ditch me" the bitch said as she stood in front of me.I stood up quietly from the bed and went to sit in front of my system which was facing the window. This way, I was now backing her.I was shirtless and undoubtedly, just my bare skin was driving her crazy."Get out of my room Michelle' I said calmly as I brought out stick from my cigarette pack and reached for my lighter."Ryan please; you know I love you. You can just use me and dump me. I gave you my dignity" she said and had to scoff."Stop lying bitch" I said lowly as I lit the cigarette and stuck it in my mouth."Fine! I know you didn't meet me as a virgin; but you're the second guy's that ever crossed my legs. I told you the first one was done forcefully. You're the first guy I've given it to willingly. You can't do this to me, Ryan."I sighed and turned on my laptop.
Bethel's Pov:I laid on the bed as the door opened and mum came in, fully and brightly garbed."Bethel" she called but I didn't flinch.I just maintained a straight face and remained the way I was."And why're you still in bed? Don't you have classes today?" She asked in a strict tone."I can't make it" I replied, trying to sound less peeved as possible.I heard her sigh."Well, whatever you wanna do. Just make sure you're ready before 4 pm cause that's when the Winthorpe family will be coming over for dinner. Put on something nice and look good."I've already called for some caterers and they'll be here In a while to prepare the meals. So, stay indoors and get ready when it's time".And with that, she left.I heard her retrieving footsteps and tears came up to my eyes. I can't believe this is really going to happen. I'm getting married!But why does mum have to b
Bethel's Pov:My eyes dilated in surprise as I paused and stared at him for a while. He also looked surprised seeing me.He's the same guy I had encountered on the night of Ryan's concert - the bag guy with a gang that had wanted to take on me forcefully before the police's presence saved me.So, he's Ryan's brother???What the hell?Mum turned and looked at me and that was when I realised I had stopped walking.I blinked rapidly and continued down the stairs and finally, I was standing in front of the Winthrop family.Hold on; where's Ryan? I mean, he's not here."Bethel!" Ryan's mum called with buoy as she came towards me and gave me a hug."Um...good evening ma'am" I greeted with a nervous smile and looked at her husband -my father in law.Gosh!"Good evening sir' I said and wa
Bethel's Pov:We remained silent and I felt like falling since I was the only one standing.Am I supposed too speak up first? But what do I say?And what about him? Doesn't he have anything to say?Oh, God! I can't believe I'm standing in front of my husband to be who turns out to be the world's famous Ryan Winthorp.It still felt like a dream to me."Um..." I tried speaking but stopped.What the heck? Why doesn't he say something first?I was scared to look directly into his face. I mean, I was tempted to, but couldn't. What if our eyes ran into each other's and he kind of thinks I'm drooling on him or something?No; I can't do it.But this is so weird. I suddenly recalled everything Hannah told me about him. Could they be true? Was he really jealous and hard hearted? What's it going to be like being with someone like ryan?I don't know if h
Bethel's Pov:It was Kyle - like, Kyle the braniac. The quiet boy who's father owns the school.What? What's he doing here?He stood and stared at Mawthie and his boys."Yeah - joy killer" Mawthie grumbled and looked at me."This isn't over. Just remember, I'm still the ruler of this school" he whispered angrily and left with his crew.I looked at Kyle as he stared at me without saying a word. Did he really save me?I bent and took my bag from the floor and by the time I turned back to look at him again, he was already walking away.I watched in amusment from behind as he left. Wow! I can't believe he actually saved me. He doesn't associate with anyone. I wonder why he's always so quiet.I continued on my way to class - trying to forget what happened. What's Mawthie's problem anyway?When I got to the class, the lecturer was already in and perfect! Al
Bethel's Pov:I sat in front of the mirror as the make up artists transformed my face into something else.I couldn't believe I was staring at my own image.They made me look so beautiful and stunning,just like a princess.but my dolful look wouldn't let me completely admire myself.Finally, I was getting married. It was certain now and I guess nothing can stop it. In a snort time,I'll become Ryan's wife. I'll become part of the Winthrop family. Am I really ready for this?"You look pretty ma'am" one of the make up artists said as they finally rounded up their work on my face.I sighed and looked into the mirror.Immediately, the door opened and I turned to see one of the maids coming in with an envelope."Good morning ma'am" she greeted with a slight bow."Someone asked me to deliver this to you ".She stretched out t
Bethel's Pov:"How long does it have to take, Ryan?" I asked impatiently as he kept driving for what seemed like forever to me."Chill, Bethel. Come on" he grouse and I rolled my eyes.Well, I couldn't wait to see the surprise.I sighed and brought out my phone, going through the net.Hm."This stuff is really trending online, Ryan: Gentle Aura caught hugging a strange lady in front of an hotel" I read out the headline to him.I couldn't believe Nicole's picture was all over the net."When will you be going to see your dad?" He suddenly asked and my countenance changed."I don't know" I muttered."I don't think I even wanna see him"."Bethel...""I'm just scared, Ryan" I cut him off, calmly tho."That man tried to kill me! He'd have consciously cut off
Bethel's Pov:I looked in amazement as they walked in. I hadn't seen her since we graduated from High School.And oh! There was someone else with her - a young charming boy."What're you doing here?" Ryan asked her immediately he turned and saw her."Please, I'm not here for trouble. I...I just came to see Bethel - to say hi to her". She replied instantly, raising her both hands in the air.They walked in fully into the room, her son beside her."Come on Matilda, let's talk outside"Ryan's mum said to my mum and they left the room together."Um...hi Bethel" Shirley cleared her throat and said."Hi aunt Bethel" her son said in a sweet tone."Mummy told me about you".Huh? She did?'Hi" I tried to smile back at him."How're you feeling now?" He asked and I was amused at the smartness in hi
Ryan's Pov:I furrowed my brows as I looked at him. What's he talking about? What's wrong with the baby?I was scared to ask but just needed him to spill it out right away.He looked at the paper again before handing it to me.I collected it hesitantly and looked into it. What's this?"Actually sir" he continued."it's not just a baby...but babies".My eyes beamed immediately as my lips dropped open.What??I flinched as I looked into the paper again. Then, I understood what the diagram meant. It was a scan revealing two curled up babies.Oh my God!"Although, we can't tell their genders for now because the pregnancy is still in the early stage of it's first trimester. But the most important thing is, she's carrying a set of twins" he added.I smiled as a happy tear almost escape
Nicole's Pov:I stood beside Bethel's bed in the hospital as the doctor checked her with his stethoscope.She was still sleeping but according to the doctor, she'll be fine.Ryan was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. while his mum and Bethel's mum were also standing - hopefully."Double the dosage" the doctor said to the nurse on the other side of the bed and she nodded and did something to the drip."Doctor, how's she?" Ryan's mum asked immediately and the doctor sighed and brought down the stethoscope from his ear."Like I earlier said, she's fine. You don't have a thing to worry about. And the baby's fine as well" he replied and I took in a deep breath, the same time with Ryan."So...she was really pregnant?" Bethel's Mum asked and the doctor just nodded to that."She'll be awake soon and will be very hungry. So, I'd
Bethel's Pov:I couldn't tell why the boys tied me up after bringing me back to the room. I thought the so called boss said he didn't want me to get hurt?I was so restless and scared - and confused. What did Jackson father mean by saying I was his daughter? Was that a lie or what?Of course, it was a lie! There was no way that could be true. He can't possibly be my father. I mean, I wouldn't be here in the first place - tied up like a slave.I breathed out deeply. What could his reasons be for bringing me here? Whatever they are, they're definitely not good. How do I get out of here?Oh God! My baby.Thank goodness there was no bleeding yet. At least, it meant the baby was still safe. I just hope I get out of this alive. I hope Ryan gets to meet complete with his baby. I hope nothing goes wrong.Suddenly, the door opened and two boys came in, on
Jackson's Pov:"She's my daughter" his words resounded in my head.I scoffed and looked at him. No; I probably didn't hear him correctly.Of course.I looked at Bethel and she was holding her tummy, her eyes filled with the expected shock.Then, I took my eyes back to dad."What're you talking about?" I asked, my voice coming out faintly.He looked at the floor and clapped his hands and immediately, two boys came into the room."Take her back to her room" he told them and they went for Bethel on the bed."No!" She muttered as she stood on her feet with the boys holding her by both hands."What're you talking about?" She asked weakly, looking at dad.Dad signalled at the boys and they took her out of the room. Then, I was left with just him.&n
Lucas' Pov: (Jackson's dad)Everything is set. It's a good thing Jackson was able to take care of it. He's made me proud indeed.Now, its time to take what that bitch took from me.I smirked as I brought out my phone and dialed her line.** Matilda's Pov:Oh my God! Where could Bethel be?I panicked as I hurriedly packed my things from the table and stuffed them into my bag. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. How can Bethel be kidnapped? For what reason?I grabbed my bag and scuttled out of the office and almost fell on my way out."Cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day" I told my secretary as I got out of the office."Yes, ma'am" she replied and I hurried off.On my way to the elevator, my phone started ringing.I got into the elevator b
Bethel's Pov:I felt myself lying on a cold floor. I felt so dizzy.I opened my eyes blearily and tried to adjust to the dimness in the room.My head kinda ached.I stared upwards and my eyes ran into the ceiling.That was when I confirmed I was really on the floor.Hold on; where am I?Jackson!!I quickly sat up and looked around. I was in an empty room. What the hell? And I noticed my hands were tied.What the hell?I stood on my feet but couldn't move as a result of the rope.I felt so scared. How can Jackson do a thing like this?"Jackson?" I called, my voice echoing in the empty room."Is anyone there?" I called again, fearfully.Suddenly, the door opened and he walked in - Jackson. He walked in with one other boy who stood by the door with a gun
Bethel's Pov:The sun rays glinted on my face as I opened my eyes slowly and yawned.Gosh! I still felt so dizzy.I looked at Ryan who was still fast asleep, his hand wrapped around my waist.I smiled and planted a kiss on his forehead.Suddenly, the ugly feeling came again. Oh, GodI jumped out of bed and and ran into the toilet, throwing up immediately.It made my stomach rumble and I felt like passing out. What the hell is this?Oh, goodness. What could be wrong? Am I really falling sick?I washed my mouth and face before returning to the bedroom. I felt so weak.Ryan was already awake but was still lying on the bed."Hey love, are you okay? I saw you...rush into the toilet" he said and I panted and moved my hair backwards."I'm fine...just needed to do something" I repl
