Bethel's Pov:
I checked and discovered it was Jackson.
Huh?
Jackson? Why's he calling me?
I cleared my throat a bit before picking the call.
"Hey, Bethel" he called. immediately.
"Hi" I replied, perfunctorily.
We haven't spoken on phone after the day I met him at the marriage school.
"Where are you? Are you at home?" He asked.
"Yeah" I replied, tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Okay. Um...could you step out for a minute? I'm outside the gate".
I furrowed my brows in surprise and looked at the gate.
"You're...outside the mansion?" I asked.
"Yeah".
Immediately, I hurried to the gate and the securities let me out. And immediately i got outside, I found him in a black car.
Really? So, he was serious?
I ended the call and scuttled to w
Bethel's Pov:My jaws dropped as I stared at him in shockRyan?What...What's he doing here? With Lady K?I felt my whole systems become weak as I became nervous.Jackson...He definitely saw Jackson and I kissing.Oh,God!No."Ry...Ryan?" I stuttered his name, helplessly.There was a stunned expression in his eyes. His gaze couldn't leave my face.How did this happen?I stared pathetically at me and slowly, just as if he hadn't seen a thing, he turned around and walked away."Bethel" Jackson called and I looked at him. I was so confused.Immediately, I started running after Ryan."Ryan! Ryan!" I called from behind, but he didn't stop or turn to look at me."Hey, listen to me" I ca
Bethel's Pov:I walked into the classroom with the Shirley girl and as usual, Nicole was already waiting for me on my seat."Hey B" she waved at me as I got to where she was."Hi" I replied weakly and took my seat.Shirley stood and stared at both of us and that was when I understood she needed a place to sit."Oh! Sorry, but there's no vacant seat around here" I told her and she nods."Alright then. I'll just take a vacant seat from the back" she replied and went to the back."Okay; and who's that?" Nicole asked as soon as she left."She's just a newbie who lost her way to class" I replied and stared at the floor."Are you alright? You look kind of...""I'm fine" I cut her off with a sigh."O...kay. Although, you don't look fine to me".We remained quiet for a while
Bethel's Pov:"Ryan" I called tenderly, still standing behind him.He kept mute and next, I went to stand in front of him."Fine! I'm sorry, okay? I promise you, I'll stay away from Jackson. I'll never see him or talk to him ever again. I'll avoid him like you asked me to. And...I promise, I'll never do anything to make you mad again. Just forgive me this once" I rushed my words, not thinking twice.Did I just say I'll never do anything to make him mad again?He kept silent for a while and finally stood up with his laptop and surprisingly, he started towards the door.What? Is he really walking away?I rushed to him immediately and held him by the wrist, making him stop."Come on, Ryan; I said I'm sorry" I said with a sting of conscience and he slowly took his eyes to my hand on his wrist.
Bethel's Pov:The rays of the sun glinting on the window reflected on my face as I fluttered my eyes open.At first, my vision was blur, but I could tell I was staring at the ceiling.I yawned and tried recalling what had happened the previous night. I could remember getting drunk - yes. Then, I dozed off.Hold on...So, how did I end up in the bed?I turned my neck and saw Ryan sleeping beside me.Whaaaaat?I gasped and sat up immediately.Ryan! Sleeping on the bed beside me?How...How did it happen?I mean,First, I thought he was avoiding me?And second, this was the first time I was waking up to see him sleeping beside me since we got married. Each time I woke up, he was always out of bed already - making me think he didn't even sl
Bethel's Pov:The black limo drove through the gate with Ryan and I sitting at the backseat.Immediately the driver pulled to a stop, guards from the cars that followed us behind rushed out and opened the door for me and Ryan.We came out of the car together and met some men in front of the building who were already waiting for us."Mr Ryan" one of the men called and exchanged a handshake with him."We were informed of your coming and are very pleased to have you here with us."Welcome ma'am Bethel" he turned and said to me."Thanks" I smiled perfunctorily."Please, come in with us" the other man said and Ryan and I walked in with them.We entered the first floor of the building which was more of a reception and took the elevator which took us up to the third floor."What's the scheduled time for this meeting?" Ryan asked as we walked out of the elevator."Oh! That'd be about an hour time or so" one of the
Bonnie's Pov:"Damn it! What do you mean you couldn't shoot him?" I asked angrily on the phone."I'm sorry, ma'am; but I couldn't get clear shot at him. He was with his wife and if I had pulled the trigger, there's a great possibility she'd have been hit" the animal replied on the phone."Well, and so f**king what? You should've done away with her as well. I don't give a damn. The most important thing was killing Ryan!" I retorted."I'm sorry, ma'am...""Well, you should be sorry for your worthless self. I heard you guys were professionals, but you turned out to be completely useless" I growled and he kept mute."Listen to me; you better find a way to fix this. I paid you awesomely for this and I want it done. Get Ryan killed!""Yes ma'am" he replied and i ended the call.Gosh! Annoying things.Just a simple task - a simple task, yet they couldn't accomplish it.I want Ryan dead at all cost. I need to take that pride away f
Bethel's Pov:School was kinda of boring that morning until lunch time when me and Nicole and the newbie - Shirley - decided to go to the cafe together.We ordered for some foods and sat on a table to eat."So Bethel, what's the valentine gonna look like?" Shirley asked, making me surprised.Huh?"I...don't know. why asking?" I replied and asked and she chuckled."Nothing really; just thinking. It must be really fun with Mr Popular around, right?" She asked and I scoffed."Are you also a crusher?" Nicole asked, nibbling on a plantain.Shirley laughed."Well, of course. No offense - tho - but every lady is crushing on Ryan right? And I happen to be a lady as well."You just have to be careful, Bethel. There are lots of girls out there who wanna be with him and who will stop at nothing till they get him" she enthuse
Bethel's Pov:I tossed on the bed and finally forced my eyes open.Gosh! I felt so dizzy. But what to do? I needed to get ready for school.I sat up on the bed and itched my eyes and was about getting off when the door of the bathroom opened and Ryan walked in, fully dressed.I looked at him and gulped nervously."Good morning" I greeted him as he walked over to the table and grabbed his phones."Good morning" he replied simply and left the room.I jumped out of the bed immediately and gasped, facing the door.Did he just...walk out?He forgot to wish me a happy valentine!**I sat absent mindedly in the car and didn't even realize when my driver got to the school building and pulled over in front of it."Ma'am Bethel, we're here" he called my attention when I didn't make a move to get out of c
