Wendy's POV.

"Thank you so much for everything Stan, it was a lovely moment, it felt so good," I let out with a broad smile and he nodded, returning the smile.

"It's great to have your company, I'm truly honored." He enunciated and I just chuckled.

"Honored? Are you kidding me right now?" I asked as we began to head towards the hotel.

The private museum was pretty far from the hotel but I didn't mind, seeing those beautiful things was definitely worth it. I don't know how Stan did it but having access to such was truly amazing and it helped my spirit a great deal.

"Well, not everyone can boast of talking much with you, most guys have this thought that you're a lesbian." He divulged and I widened my eyes in shock before tilting my head to look at him.

"Are you serious?!" I asked, trying hard to hold the laugh that was bubbling in my chest, it hit me differently when I heard stories about myself that amused me.

"Yeah, you don't like guys, you've made that clear all the time so I gues

    Wendy's POV. "Alright team, good luck with your various projects, remember, the company only wants the best of the best in terms of employment so, I want you to put in your all." The voice of a woman echoed throughout the big hall and we students gave her a standing ovation. She left the stage and a murmur filled the room, I was kinda happy and nervous, the project we're giving to work is kind of an easy one for me but I'm still fucking nervous because there are so many students who would come up with different ideas. In each department, only five students would be selected and I want to be among those five, I have to do everything within my power to be among them. God has given me a chance and I am gonna make use of it with everything in me. Getting a job from any of the companies would solve my financial problem in a jiffy.

    Wendy's POV. "Oh well, it's pretty late, you won't find a taxi at this spot now, you need to walk for a few minutes to Main Street." The kind old lady who had attended to us in the library suggested and I gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you so much, ma'am," I muttered and nudged Anny to follow me. I had attained my reason for coming this far but it was already late at night, my time reads 10:23 P.M.I did not intend to come this far but the books I wanted weren't available in the five big libraries we had visited, we were directed here and we got it but it's so fucking late. "I'm really sorry for this, Anny." I apologized to Anny who was busy scrolling through her phone. "Um, what are you sorry for?" She asked, dropping her phone into her satchel. "For bringing you this far," I muttered with a sad smile and she just scoffed."Oh please, I followed you here on my own will, besides, you had asked me to return home but I didn't want to, so just forget the whole apologies, we'll m

    Wendy's POV. The door of the car opened and someone stepped out, straining my eyes. I tried to figure out who the person was but his face wasn't visible to my eyes. "Hello, guys." The figure said and began to head towards us, the voice sounded familiar and I was trying to figure it out in my brain but my brain wasn't cooperating."Stanley." Anny's voice immediately made my brain recall and I stared at the figure in awe. How the fuck did Stanley get here? "Who the fuck are you?" The leader of the group asked, standing proud and dangerous.Anny clung to me tighter, her fingers were scraping my skin and it hurt but I chose to ignore it. I understand how scared she must be, I was once in her position."I'm nobody you wish to know and I don't wish to know you either, how about we settle this amicably without any form of violence?" He asked and I creased my brows, wondering what Stanley was up to, Stanley wasn't the type to go violent, he's one of the calmest men in my class and the who

    Wendy's POV. "Just two more days until submission girl, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time," Anny said excitedly and I looked at her with a smile, she was excited about the whole project and I was too. I've been working on mine, seeking help from lecturers and professors... Well, except for Professor George, I haven't seen him for the last two days and I dare not call or ask about him. Things have been going smoothly in the expedition, we have lots of seminars and everything has been calm. Just as May had predicted, not all students were interested in the program, some only came here for the fun of it and they're having it to the fullest, the management wasn't saying anything about it, we're adults after all, we're responsible for our own decisions. "Hey baby, how are you doing?" I heard May's excited voice and I looked away from my pad to look at her; she was dressed in volleyball shorts and an armless top, "You're looking hot May." Anny complimented her and I supported

    Wendy's POV. "And the first fifty students that would be battling to be among the first five in the competition from the business administrative class are..." My heart leaped when I heard this and I tried my very best to look relaxed and composed despite the nervousness I was feeling deep within. The man at the podium began to mention names and I was sincerely happy for Anny when her name was mentioned. We had submitted our project and the team had selected the first fifty. I was sincerely praying to be among the first fifty. If I'm not, I'd have to join the fun squad and have all the fun I could till the expedition is over. My phone buzzed but I ignored it, I'm too focused on the man mentioning names to care about anything, who ever the person was should just go to hell cause I'm fucking tensed right now. "Wendy, your phone, it's buzzing, maybe it's urgent." May notified me by tapping me on my shoulder and I just scoffed. I don't care how urgent it was, I'm not replying to anyth

    Wendy's POV. "How are you feeling now, is it hurting you? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that." He said quickly, brought out his white handkerchief, and used it to dab the little blood that was still coming out of my finger. His action had surprised me, and it's fucking still surprising me, this man in front of me is anything but caring, he had shown me that he doesn't like me, he made me feel it but what was wrong with him now, why is he behaving so weird, extremely weird. "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He asked again when I wasn't replying to him. Why the hell would he take me to the hospital for such a minor injury?! Snatching my wrapped finger from him, I looked at him in awe then stared at my hand that he wrapped his handkerchief around. "What is wrong with you?" I asked, still finding it hard to believe."You're hurt." He said and moved closer to me but I moved back almost immediately, not wanting to be so close to him, I felt some kind of f

    Wendy's POV. "Where are you going so late in the evening Wendy?" May asked as I wore my big sweater."Just going for some fresh air, I'm feeling restless tonight, unable to sleep." I lied and she just sighed, "Want me to come along" She asked with a yawn and I just chuckled,"You're already looking so tired honey, just rest, I'll be back soon, I just need to walk around and think of what to do for the next project, I'm super excited that I got selected, it's good that I was out, had I been there, I'll have scream the building down with happiness," I muttered and May giggled before she relaxed her head on the bed. "Yeah, I was glad you went to the restroom, you looked like shit during the announcement." She mumbled and I knew it would be a matter of time before she would start mumbling rubbish about different topics.That's how May is. Whenever there's sleep deep in her body, she begins to say all sorts of nonsense and I always find it amusing."You have your phone with you huh?" Sh

    Wendy's POV. “Give me a reason why I should trust a blood that once betrayed me and my kin.” He added with his gaze boring into mine and I just sighed, trying not to break the locked eyes. "I'm not asking you to trust me, I'm just asking for a simple promise, a harmless promise that would cause you no harm at all." I clarified and he just smiled; a smile that didn't reach his eyes."You know you're not in any condition to ask anything from me right?" He asked and I nodded in affirmation, trying hard not to argue with him, arguing with him would only lead to more banter and that's what I didn't want, I just wanna end this and focus on something that really required my energy. "If your promise is gonna cause me any inconvenience or demand something big from me, I would not make it, is that clear?" He asked and I nodded in affirmation again."Use your words, dammit!" He sneered and I just sighed, he has a problem with me talking and he has a problem when I am not talking. Bloody male

    Wendy's POV. (Few days later.)"Thank goodness that good for nothing asshole got expelled, he deserves it." Aliyah said as we headed out of the class and Anna laughed. The news of Aaron suddenly getting expelled had baffled many and no one knows what he did or why he got expelled but I knew who was behind it. Professor George, I can't believe he'll do so much for me, I'm kinda regretting jilting him at the altar and I feel so much for him now... Maybe love. "I don't know what he did but he definitely deserves it, such a punk." Anna said and we all laughed. I want to see the professor but that would be hard with my friends around. They'll follow me anywhere I go but I have to look for a way. "Wendy, you don't look happy, ain't you happy he got expelled?" Ann asked and I smiled. How do I tell them that I'm the happiest?"Of course, I'm happy," I replied, trying to keep my tone light. "Just relieved it's all over."As we walked, my mind raced with thoughts of George. The way he had

    Wendy's POV. My heart was beating fast and furious as I stared at the school building, I looked at the text message in my phone and tears threatened to fall from my eyes. Could he be so cruel, would he do something like that? Aaron has nothing to loose, he would do what he had threatened and I think my life was literally over. Once that picture surfaced in school, I'm a goner... The picture might spread through the internet and my family would definitely see it, the new life I had been trying to protect would be destroyed if Aaron went ahead with his plan. I don't know what made him think that I would want him back after everything he had done to me. I don't even know who informed him of my newest location! I walked through the corridor slowly, the school was empty except for early comers like me... I wouldn't have come early today had Aaron not send me a message, telling me that he had uploaded the images in the school site. I'm ruined. "Hey Wendy." A guy greeted and I just nodd

    George's POVWendy has finally turned me into the monster I didn't want to be. It's been a week yet, I cannot get my mind off the fact that her body is the medicine I needed to cure every sickness I was facing. Every time I see her, every time I watch her walk, and talk with her friends, it only makes me more confused as to why I hadn't made her mine just yet. Deep down, I know the reason but I was beyond reasoning when it comes to that girl. She was a distraction I don't mind getting distracted by but how do I go about it? What do I do with her? I don't know what to do with my feelings for her. Should I go for it or should I let her go? The mission I had come to the school for was the most pressing thing on my mind right now. It just has to be. With all these thoughts in my head, my shoes clicked against the tiled floor as I continued to make my way to the school's control room. This was one of the chances I could get as everyone was still home and it was still too early for anybo

    Wendy's POV. I stepped out of the taxi, feeling a mix of happiness and nervousness. Last night was incredible... Super hot and spicy...but now I was sore and my legs felt like jelly. Still, it had definitely been worth it.A knot of worry twisted in my stomach. He hadn't used protection again. He seemed to dislike it more and more, preferring the raw feel of us. I enjoyed it too but it made me anxious. I took precautions, but nothing was ever 100% effective.I walked slowly toward school, my mind reeling with thoughts. I'd spent the night at his place since Aunt Linda was away on a business trip and May hadn't stayed home. She never did unless Aunt Linda was around.Checking the time, I saw there was still over an hour before my next class. I decided to head to my usual quiet spot. It was a place few students visited, and the natural scent there always calmed me.My phone buzzed, and I glanced at the screen to see a message from Aliyah: *"You okay? Where are you?"* I quickly replied

    George's POV. "I've missed you, so much babe..." Wendy mumbled as we walked into the bedroom.She had just come in and I am holding myself… trying not to jump on her immediately she came into my house. I smiled and drew her closer to me, my heart beating fast and furious but I tried to keep my cool. The urge to just carry her, strip her and fuck her was driving me insane but I kept my hunger for her in... Just a little more time and I would have her, I've been patient for almost two weeks, I can remain patient. "You have no idea how much I've missed you too princess and not been able to talk to you whenever I want was just another form of torture, I think you should consider moving in with me, I don't mind." I suggested and she just chuckled before dropping on the bed. "You know I can't move in with you, that's really dangerous." "Um, how about I rent an apartment for you huh? I can see you whenever I want, how does that sound?" I asked despite knowing the answer."Thank you but

    Wendy's POV. Few weeks later. "May! What the fuck is wrong with you?" I demanded, grabbing her wrist as we left the classroom. The anger and frustration boiled over, my need for answers consuming me whole because I've been too patient for long. She yanked her hand away from my hold, glaring at me with eyes full of resentment. "Stop being childish, Wendy! I told you, I need space from you. Is that too much to ask for?" Her voice was sharp, cutting through the air. I sighed heavily, glancing around at the small crowd that had gathered to watch our confrontation. My head spun with the weight of their stares and the pressure of the situation. May had become so unbearable over the past few weeks, and this seemed like my only chance to get through to her. She avoids me at home and acts like I don't even exist whenever she sees me. "Please, May, what's wrong?" I pleaded, desperation creeping into my voice. "I need to know what I did so I can make amends. You're like a sister to me. Tell

    Wendy's POV. "You... Uncluttered swine. How dare you!" I huffed, looking at the man in front of me with nothing but disdain, he dares to say shit in front of me?!"What the fuck has gotten into you any way?!" I snapped, my voice laced with frustration and disgust. How could he have the audacity to pull a stunt like this?"What the hell is wrong with you Mr. Aaron?" I heard a deep masculine voice seethed and I turned to see Stan heading towards us; Tess, Anna and Aliyah were right behind him. I swallowed, thinking of a way to avoid the trouble that was clouding, "Are you alright Wendy?" Stan asked with a concerned look and I just forced a smile, thinking of different ways to stop the disaster waiting to happen."And who are you?" Aaron's voice penetrated into the air and I turned around to look at him with some kind of pure disdain."Look who's talking.... You know I saw you putting those cheap petals there, I never knew it was for Wendy, had I known, I would have had you arrested fo

    Wendy's POV. As the taxi rolled closer to the school, a surge of frustration twisted in my gut, the bitter taste of resentment flooding my senses. "Why does it have to be like this?" I muttered to myself, feeling the weight of every bitter memory pressing down on me.The taxi driver sometimes peeped at me through the rear mirror and I understand, he might probably be worried that he had picked up a psycho because of the way I had been muttering in his taxi. "My life is like a bad soap opera," I grumbled, clenching my fists as I stared out the window. "I'm just tired of it all, you know?" My life is the worst!Right now, I hate it, I mean I hate my life!A life where I have to see Aaron everyday and be reminded of how I had destroyed my life because of some love.I never thought I would not be looking forward to going to school, attending lectures... Everything at school annoys me now. All I wanted to do was stop going to school. I wanted to stay at home and have some peace of mind.

    Wendy's POV. As the class ended, I bolted out of the room like a bat out of hell, my mind spinning in different possibilities of how things can go awfully wrong."What the hell?!" I muttered, barely able to comprehend the situation. "How? What was he doing here and... Good Lord!" I pleaded internally, feeling utterly overwhelmed. "Please help me, I beg you. I can't handle this shit right now. How the fuck do I cope with this?""Wendy!" A voice called out, but I refused to acknowledge it. All I wanted was to find a quiet corner to think about the latest messy development in my life. I need to think and I have to think of solutions too. He had the audacity to show his face after what he'd done. The nerve of him to spew garbage at me. He should have had the decency to stay far away from me, to hide in shame. But no, he dared to confront me! I don't get it, what was he doing here anyway?! Fuck him and everything he stands for."Wendy!" The voice persisted, joined by others, but I didn'
