Chapter 46: Mean GirlsFaith’s P.O.V“Alright class, since the semester exams are approaching us fast, I would like to take a test next week, to see how each of you are progressing this year.”Several groans sounded from all around me all at once. I would’ve joined in on the groans, if I had actually been paying attention to what the teacher had been saying. I had decided to come to school today instead of going to visit Brandon as usual, because I was worried that I might fall back in class again, and also, as the teacher mentioned…exams were coming up.“Since some of you joined us later than usual this year, I won’t be taking attendance into consideration,” Professor Jordan gave a side eyed glance in my direction as I sank in my seat. “However, those who have attended all classes from beginning till the end of semester do get an extra credit…since it’s only fair. Now, if we’re clear on that, let’s continue with class so that we can get ready for the test next week.”I opened my note
Chapter 47: ConfrontationFaith’s P.O.V “You’re getting good at running your little mouth.” Aurora snapped, this time, her hand going around my nape to haul me closer to her face as she scrunched her face in disgust. “You think that by being this…ridiculous…pure, innocent little angel with a feisty tongue, Brandon will fall head over heels in love with you?”She barked out a cruel laugh, letting go of my nape with a jerk, making me stumble back. “Many have tried, little girl. To do exactly what you’re doing now. But every single one of them have failed miserably. Because at the end of the day…it’s always Julia. It’ll always be Julia.”“W-what are you talking about?” Why did I feel my heart miss a beat at the mention of Brandon and Julia together? I knew they were over, weren’t they? Debby herself told me that they were done a long time ago and that Brandon was only using her to get back at Scott…but then…why did it suddenly make me feel so…insecure?“Don’t act like you don’t understa
Chapter 48: Broadening My Horizon Faith’s P.O.V “What are you loser doing here?” Startled at that voice, I turned to find Nik standing near the edge of the trees, looking at us incredulously. But when she saw me, her eyes widened in shock. “Faith? What are you doing with them?” She asked me, looking back at Cole and Sagar. “I thought it was some creep looking in on the women’s team practicing our match. I’m sorry…I didn’t realize that you were here as well.” “O-oh…I…um…” my mind felt incredibly numb at the moment to come up with any kind of proper excuse. What was I doing here again? I couldn’t even remember… “We were just chatting.” Thankfully, Cole came up with the lamest excuse he could find; but I wasn’t complaining. At least he could still come up with an excuse. “She was asking us why Brandon didn’t come to school the past couple days.” “Oh! You’re right!” Nik came up to stand next to me, wiping her hair with the towel that she had around her neck. “So, why didn’t he come
Hey guys, I know I keep saying this every month but in the end, I give up and start uploading, but this time, I will be taking a haitus for the month of May, for my own mental health and to give my eyes some rest since I have been constantly working for the last few months, even after surgery. No, I don't have any problems in my eyes just yet, but I do feel like my migraine is coming back. So a long holiday is needed. But, as usual, I won't actually be taking a holiday. I'll just be prepping my chapters for my next update month so that I don't need to start rushing all at once. As for the update schedule, here is the timeline: 1. The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession- Will be finished in June. 2. Taming the Mafia King- Will be finished in July. 3. The Kingpin's Possession BL- Weekly updated. 1-2 chapters per week. 4. The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret- Weekly updated. About 1 chapter per week. So these are estimates of what is to come. Hopefully I'll be able to follow through with my
Chapter 49: Relationship Status?Faith’s P.O.V“You did what?”I didn’t know what I should be more shocked at. The fact that Brandon orchestrated the entire event that led to the sisters hating each other…or the fact that he just openly confessed it to me without caring about how I might react to the news.Was this anything to be proud about?“I did what was necessary.” Brandon sighed, removing his hand from around my neck as he leaned back on his pillows. “If I hadn't, then Julia would’ve continued to bully you, continued to make your life miserable…and I wouldn’t have been able to help you.”This is something that I always found strange. “Why don’t you speak up?” I asked him now, genuinely curious. “Why don’t you tell Julia not to bully others or not to hurt the other girl? Wouldn’t it be better to just speak up and get it over with? To make it clear once and for all?”Debby’s voice still rang in my head from the other day…about how Brandon continued to use Julia to get back at Scot
Hi guys, To everyone who's thinking that I've abandoned this story...I haven't. I had initially planned on updating this story first in June and then my mafia story in July, but there has been a slight change in plans. As you know, inspiration ins't susceptible to a timetable and even brfore June hit, I knew that the story I wanted to continue with first was the mafia one: Taming the Mafia King (which...if you haven't read, please do, I promise you won't be disappointed). So the update schedule has changed and this book will be uploaded from next month and finished in the next month as well...hopefully. My mafia story, I do plan on finishing up this month. So please have patience and bear with me. New updates will be coming soon with a lot more exciting stuff happening because there's still a lot of story to tell. Also, please do leave your valuable reviews. It doesn't matter if you want to give me a positive or negative review, but reviews help a writer grow and understand what
I'm extremely sorry to have to post this message, but I really don't have a choice. The Bad Boy's Innocent Obssession will be uploaded in August. Unfortunately, I'm currently working on three of my Exclusives that haven't finished yet and will finish this month. I cannot get into the headspace of writing a bad boy while writing werewolf, billionaire and mafia side by side. I really wish I could, but it's giving me trouble with concentration. Also, July is my birth month, so towards the end, I'll be going on a short little vacation, a bit over a week, to my uncle's house in another state, so I won't be able to update during that time either. Which is why i've decided to update this story in August, so no one will get frustrated because of the discontinuation towards the end. Extremely sorry once again. I promise this will be worth the wait. So please bear with me. I will give you the best I can next month.
Chapter 50: Family Dinner Faith’s P.O.V “You’re being awfully quiet.” I muttered, looking at Debby from under my lashes as we waited in the parking lot of the restaurant where we were supposed to meet Debby’s mom for dinner. “Am I?” Debby looked like she was forcing a smile for my sake. “Sorry, I must have been distracted.” “Debby…be honest with me?” I sighed, turning to look at her from the passenger’s seat. “You’re not happy about me and Brandon, are you?” “No…no, it’s not that!” She shook her head immediately, but I knew she was lying. “You’ve been quiet the entire ride and I know you’re lying because you haven’t been meeting my eye even as we talk.” I listed off the points I had noticed. “I thought it through, Debby…and I want to give this a try…I really do.” “Look, Faith,” finally, she turned to meet my eyes, but hers were filled with worry. “I am happy for the two of you, especially Brandon. His life had been filled with ups and downs and god only knows how many hardships!
Chapter 101: Happy Ever AfterFaith’s P.O.V7 Years Later…“And the award for the best male in a leading role goes to…”I waited as the camera flashed to all the actors in the lineup that were nominated in the award ceremony, my anticipation at a fever pitch as I was literally at the edge of my seat, waiting for the results.But just as the host was about to announce the name of the actor…the TV screen went blank.“What the…?”I turned around to search for the remote, but even when I tried to turn it on, it didn’t work.It was only when someone cleared their throat, quite loudly, in the room, that my attention finally snapped towards the door and I found Aunt Kathy standing there with the cable in her hands and her other hand on her hip as she gave me a narrow eyes glare.“Faith…” Her voice was dead serious as she fixed me with her ‘look’.“Yes?” I grinned sheepishly.“What day is it today?” She tapped her heeled foot on the tiled floor, her light pink gown reaching her knees, the ski
Chapter 100: To the FutureFaith’s P.O.VInstead of answering me right away, he took the pendant from the trey and went behind me to place it around my neck, securing the clasp behind my back. The cool metal fell around my neck easily, and a sense of nostalgia overwhelmed me as I remembered my mother wearing it all the time.But I wasn’t allowed to dwell on the nostalgia for long since I felt his warm breath fanning my skin before I felt him lean down and place a tender kiss on my shoulder.“I didn’t want to give back the pendant…because when you weren’t with me, when we weren’t together, this was the only thing that connected me to you.” He whispered against my ear, his arms coming around me to wrap around my middle. “I threw it away once…when I thought you were too good to be with me, that I didn’t want to taint you with my darkness…and it was right here, at this very beach. But the waves gave it back to me; almost like it was fate…they didn’t want me to lose the only good thing in
Chapter 99: The PendantFaith’s P.O.VI felt my breath leave my lungs temporarily as I descended down the stairs and there he was…dressed in a black shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbow and black dress pants that fit him like a glove.In his hands was a humongous bouquet of red roses that looked bright and luscious, their fragrance filling the air with sweetness that felt almost like a scene out of a movie.I watched his eyes widen slightly as they landed on me, his lips parting in a small gasp, and his eyes, when they met mine, held promises that made my insides quiver with excitement and my heart almost skip a beat.In all honesty…we hadn't been intimate for a long time now, considering how we had both been through so much…but now, looking at him today, I found myself anticipating the end of the night more than the date itself.Maybe we can just forget about the date and just head to his apartment already?Brandon’s lips tilted up in a small smile and it felt like he knew e
Chapter 98: The First DateFaith’s P.O.V“Finally! Exams are over!” Nik threw her hands up in the air as she did a little ‘happy dance’ before turning to Debby and me. “Let’s go out this evening!”“Go out? Where?” I asked, raising my eyebrows skeptically.Usually, Nik’s idea of going out wasn’t the best of plans. The last time we went out together, not only did she get the wrong address, but we were thrown out of the club since none of us had fake IDs and we weren’t allowed in unless we were twenty one.Now, I watched as Debby nodded enthusiastically to Nik’s proposal, ever the supportive girlfriend…even though I was starting to worry about what trouble they were going to get into this time.“Leave me out.” I sighed, walking down the stairs to join them at the courtyard. “I’ll be heading home first.”“Why? Do you have plans already?” Debby smirked with a knowing look in her eyes.“I do.” I nodded, laughing at her expression. “Brandon asked me out on a date.”“Oh! Really!” Nik looked a
Chapter 97: A New BeginningFaith’s P.O.V“Good morning!”Startled, I looked towards the door to see Ethan poking his head in with a wide grin on his face. “How have you been?”“Ethan!” I smiled at his presence, glad to see him. “It’s good to see you. I’m getting discharged today.”“Yup. Just heard the reception discussing that.” He came forwards to stand beside the bed, where I sat already dressed in casual clothing, ready for the nurses to take me out as soon as Brandon was done with the paperwork. “How are you? Bran told me everything…about what happened yesterday.”I nodded, sad that everything had to come to this. “I’m glad everything is over now.” I told him. “And I can start over from scratch. It’s all a new beginning for all of us.”Ethan gave me a look that said that even though it was a new beginning for some of us…there were still lingering feelings left.“At least I still get to be friends with you.” He finally said with a sigh. “But if Brandon treats you bad again…I will
Chapter 96: ForgivenessFaith’s P.O.VBrandon and I faced Julia alone, Scott deciding to wait outside for the time being.Even though I wanted Brandon beside me, I didn’t show it. Neither did I tell him. Instead, I watched him take a seat on one of the couches on the opposite side of the room, far from me and Julia.I knew he was giving us space, letting me and her settle our differences. It was what was most important. But at the same time, I couldn’t help but miss his presence, his support.No matter how brave of a front I put up…I was still worried about what had transpired between him and Julia at her house.“Thank you…” Julia told me now, her eyes appearing haunted as she looked up at me tiredly. “For not complaining against me…even after everything I did…”I saw tears well up in her eyes as she swallowed hard, her emotions clearly all over the place. “Why? Why did you help me? I’ve been the shittiest person to you…I’ve bullied you, spoke badly about you…tried to steal Brandon aw
Chapter 95: Don’t Want TroubleFaith’s P.O.VI didn’t particularly like this feeling of helplessness…not at all. And I wasn’t even worried about myself at the moment.The cops stayed in the room, keeping their watchful eyes on me as if I was going to get up and jump out the window to escape them. Well…unfortunately, this wasn’t some kind of survival episode and I was definitely not into Fast and Furious. Besides, I just had a surgery!How did they expect me to escape when I was barely able to move without support?I kept looking at the clock on the wall, waiting desperately for someone, anyone, to arrive! Debby waited patiently by my side, her hand in mine a kind of reassurance that everything was going to be alright and that help was on its way.However, even though the clock seemed to tick at a snail’s pace and a minute felt like an eternity, I didn’t actually have to wait long before people started pouring into my room.First came my aunt and George, their worried faces instantly l
Chapter 94: Calling a TruceBrandon’s P.O.VThe weight of every revelation that Scott had just reveled to me came crashing down on me.How had I not noticed any of this?Julia’s parent’s getting a divorce? Julia’s mother turning into an alcoholic? Scott taking up the void that I had left in her life?How had I been so ignorant all this time?What made it worse was the fact that I didn’t remember anything from that time. The whole year, from the time my mother died, to the time that woman, my father’s secretary seduced me into sleeping with her…to the point where I was driven by my irrational hate and anger towards the rest of the world…all of it was one big blacked out blur and I could hardly remember any of it.I tried to remember the times when I had ignored Julia. When I had ignored Scott and Cole and Sagar…But all of it was a blur. N
Chapter 93: Unexpected Confrontations Brandon’s P.O.V The plain white walls of the six storied apartment building brought on a bittersweet avalanche of memories as I got out of the elevator on the second floor and walked down the almost familiar hallways before coming to a stop in front of the same door where I had stood in front of countless times before. Memories from the past came rushing back in waves, making me recall all the times I had stood in front of this very door, sometimes with an expensive bouquet of roses in my hand and sometimes with takeout from a fine dining restaurant. How many times had we slammed these very doors? Sometimes in passion, sometimes in anger and sometimes in dejection? Time was indeed a funny thing, wasn’t it? Because once, when these same emotions had threatened to engulf me in agony…now they were like fleeting images at the back of my mind, hardly evoking even a quarter of the same emotions that I had once felt for the woman who lived behind the
