Bethel's Pov:
"They're yours" I heard him reply.
What?
I looked at the cars and back at him, my mouth wide agaped.
Did I just hear him correctly?
"They...They're mine?" I asked in disbelief.
"But Ryan..." I paused and gasped, running out of words.
How can he give me such expensive cars at once?
Oh my God!
I turned and jumped on him immediately, hugging him tight.
"Oh my God!!! I love you soooo much!!" I exclaimed happily, batting back my tears.
He chuckled and held me like a baby, making sure my legs weren't touching the floor.
"Hey, its okay" he whispered into my ears.
I wrapped my hands around him and kissed him.
For the first time, I had the confidence to do something like that.
He returned the kiss, with my legs still dancing in t
"So, what the hell do you want me to do?" I asked tiredly as I sat in front of my manager in his office.I was already frustrated."I want you to tell me what exactly happened between you and Ryan. Why did he suddenly cut off ties with you?" He replied in a raring tone."I don't know, George. I don't know what happened".He sighed and bent his head for a while."Well Karen, I'd suggest you try and talk to him to reconsider his decisions."Anyway" he paused and brought out a card."You've been invited for a three days camp taking place in New York. Its being hosted by Glamour High School and Carnegie Vanguard High School and you're among the few celebrities that's been invited".I looked at the card and thought;Glamour High School.Isn't that Bethel's school?"Who else is invited to the camp? I mean, cel
Bethel's Pov:"Ryan! Ryan,wait!" I called as I ran after him, but he didn't stop look at me.He had already taken a corner, diverting from where Kyle was."Ryan! Will you just listen to me? Please!" I called as I got to where he was and held his hand."Is this the reason you didn't want me to pick you up from school?" He turned angrily at me."Huh? Is this the reason you asked me not to bother? Because you were having some alone time with your crush?"What?"Ryan, what're you saying? I told you I was staying back to study" I flinched."Yeah, but you never said it was a guy!" He half yelled.I scoffed and batted my lashes, almost gobsmacked."Kyle...Kyle is just a friend. He's just helping me out in some difficult areas in...""And you had to laugh a
Bethel's Pov:The door opened and Ryan came in immediately. I was still on the call."Ryan?" The lady Called in a blaring voice."Are you really going to give me the silent treatment? Why aren't you saying anything?"Ryan stood by the door and looked at me in surprise. He had my uniforms with him."Who's that?" He asked, but I was speechless.He came to me and collected the phone from me.He looked at the screen and ended the call. All the while, I just watched sheepishly.He kept mute for a while before dropping the uniform on the bed."You should go ahead and dress up" he said and turned to leave."Who's she?" I asked and he looked back at me."Who?" I possum."The lady on the phone. She said something about...someone being sick - Dwayne".
Bethel's Pov:Huh?I scoffed and narrowed my eyes at her."Your...Your son?" I asked, perplexed."You have a son?""Yeah" she smiled.I was speechless. I mean, she was so young and still a student. How's it possible she already have a son?"Girlfriend!" I heard Nicole's blaring voice and turned to see her scuttling towards me."Hi" I smiled and opened my eyes to welcome her."Oh my gosh! You're looking beautiful. Take a look at your anklet" she said breezily, running her eyes around my body."And your phone! Hah! Oh my God! Is this yours??" She exclaimed.I blushed and covered my face with my palm."Come on, Nicole. It's too early to flatter me,okay?" I rolled my eyes."Hi Shirley" she waved at her."Hi" Shir
Bethel's Pov:She grasped my hand and ran out of the room with her.We ran out to the facade of the building and I got to know we weren't the only ones running out of the building.Geez! It was more like the entire students!”Where's he? Where's Ryan?" I heard a lady asked admist the crowd.We all stood and saw different cars driving in. Securities had covered the entire building and It was more like governors and presidents were the ones coming in.One of the numerous flashy cars opened and Lady K stepped out of it."Woah!!! Its Lady K!! I love you, K!!!" Someone screamed from the crowd."Lady K!!""My favorite diva!!!"She smiled and waved at them and the cheering increased.Hm. She was looking so pretty and hot.She was putting on a short red jumpsuit and big s
Bethel's Pov:"Bethel?" I heard him call and turned to see him standing at the entrance.He looked surprise and started walking towards us.Lady K was no longer holding her cheeks, but anger flickered in her eyes."What's going on?" Ryan asked as he got to where we were."She slapped me!" Lady K rasped."And that's because you deserved it." I retorted and turned angrily to Ryan."She isn't even feeling remorseful for what she did. She actually said I deserved it" I reported to him, angrily."That's a lie", her voice cracked."And why would I lie? I'm not a bitch like you" I snapped back at her.Immediately, she turned around and ran away.Ryan sighed and touched his forehead.'I've warned that lady to stay away from me. I
Nicole's Pov:"Clear the way! Get out of the road!!" The securities yelled as Bethel was stretchered into the hospital building.She was still unconscious and bleeding profusely. Ryan was running along with the stretcher as they took her to a ward.His eyes were filled with so much fury and at the same time, fear.Oh, God!Please.We finally got to the ward and the doctor asked us to wait outside as he went in with the nurses."Bethel", I whimpered and clasped my palms together.Tears were streaming down my cheeks."What did you say happened to her?" Ryan turned to me and asked, his voice cracking.Blood was all over his hands and shirt."I...I had spotted her from afar going into the dorm and decided to follow her.Approaching the room, I heard her scream and when I got in, I f
Bethel's Pov:My heart raced faster.He made me so nervous."What...What bad news?" I asked anxiously and he took in a deep breath."I...have to go away for three weeks" he released the bombshell, making me flinch.What?I scoffed and looked at him."Three weeks?" I repeated."Wh...Why? What for?""Well, there's a contract my manager and I have been working on for months now and...it just came into realization now. Its very big and...not something I can easily miss. So, I have to be away for three weeks." He explained.I looked down at the floor pathetically."Hey," he called and held my cheeks."It won't be long, okay? I'll be back before you know it""I'll be done with high school by then" I grouse."You won't be
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
