The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 61: Right Here
Chapter 61: Right HereFaith’s P.O.VI curled up in my seat, clutching the seat-belt in both hands with white-knuckled grip as the car flew across the streets, gliding past other incoming car with phenomenal speed that had my heart leaping to my throat.Brandon was going within the speed limit, but barely. I could see the little hand shift to beyond 65 before it zapped back into place at traffic interceptions, where those speed machines were located to record the speed of the cars.Brandon’s knuckles were white as the held onto the steering wheel with a vice grip. His jaw was set in hard lines and his eyes solely focused on the road.He hadn't spoken a word to me since he had dragged me out of the building and into his car. He hadn't even said a word to Sagar and Cole, who had been waiting at the parking lot with apprehensive looks on their faces.He simply took the keys from Cole’s outstretched hands and held the passenger’s door open for me to get in. That door had slammed shut an i
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 62: The Truth and the Memories
Chapter 62: The Truth and the MemoriesFaith’s P.O.V“I’m sorry…for hurting you.”Brandon kissed the top of my head, apologizing for the thousandth time tonight, as we both soaked in his humongous bathtub, the warm water helping to relax all my sore muscles.I wanted to tell him that he didn’t have to keep on apologizing to me, that it was all a spur of the moment thing and that I was fine…but I couldn’t say it.Tonight has scared me. Something about the way Brandon had reacted…it felt completely different from the Brandon I was used to. Or perhaps…I was finally getting tiny glimpses of the real Brandon that everyone feared and admired. The quintessential bad-boy that every woman wanted to tame.“What happened?” I asked finally, unable to hold onto my curiosity.Brandon’s hand stilled on my shoulders, his entire body going rigid as he paused. I held my breath, knowing that I was treading dangerous waters with him.But if I was to deal with his temperament from now on, I needed to know
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 63: The Invitation
Chapter 63: The InvitationFaith’s P.O.VI turned around to look at Brandon, his eyes felt like they were in a faraway place. He was no longer with me, but in the past, reliving all the horrible memories that he had gone through.I placed a hand on his shoulder, anchoring him to the present with me, but it didn’t seem like it helped.By now, the water had run cold, and the temperature of the water resonated with the chill in my bones.“Brandon…” I whispered, and he looked at me, an almost sardonic smile on his face.“You know what happened next already.” He told me. “I was lost. Utterly, completely lost. And that was when I realized that not everyone was beside me because they wanted to be my friends.”“Julia cheated on you.” I heard myself whisper, almost like I was reminding myself more than I was reminding him.“It wasn’t just Julia.” He let out a laugh that sounded foreign to me. “Everyone left me. My father was no longer himself. He started staying at home more often, but it was
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 64: Best Friends or…
Chapter 64: Best Friends or…Faith’s P.O.V“Most of Brandon’s anger stems from a one-sided story.” I sighed, watching Debby try on her new lipstick in the washroom. “I tried to tell him to stop and listen to his dad for once. To at least try and understand where-”“Honey…are you trying to get him to break up with you?” Debby finally turned to me, her eyebrows raised as she placed a hand on her waist.And even though I knew she didn’t mean it; that her only intension was to probably scare the shit out of me rather than actually wanting Brandon and me to break up…I couldn’t help the way my heartbeat sped up just at the thought of that.“No.” I murmured under my breath, my voice barely above a whisper. But it turns out, Debby still heard me.“Then you better stop talking about his dad and turn a blind eye to whatever shit they’re going through.” She instructed. “It’s what’s best for the two of you, trust me.”“But how can I do that, Debby?” I shook my head, unable to even imagine holding
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 65: You want proof?
Chapter 65: You want proof?Faith’s P.O.V“Let us go, you bitch!” Debby’s angry voice was strained with pain as she let out a gasp. “The fact that you need your minions to help you out shows just how pathetic you are! You can’t even expect a man to have his own mind! He just has to be the victim to any scheming woman, right? Then what the fuck does that make you?”“Shut the fuck up!” Letting go of my jaw, Julia turned to Debby, her leg raised to deliver another kick.That’s when I realized that my own legs were free.Just as she landed a kick right to Debby’s stomach, making her spit out, her eyes wide in horror as the wind got knocked out of her…I raised my own leg and kicked her in the stomach…making her fly back to hit the washroom door.The entire room fell silent as Julia dropped to the ground, the wind knocked out of her as
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 66: Insecurities
Chapter 66: InsecuritiesFaith’s P.O.V“What did that bitch say again? Some poser taking shelter under the community flag for attention?” Nik paced back and forth in the infirmary, her fists balled by her side and jaw clenched in anger. “Well, guess what? I was about to LGBeat the crap out of her if only Brandon didn’t get in the way! Why the fuck was he protecting her anyway?”“He wasn’t protecting her, he was protecting you.” Debby protested from the bed, wincing as I held the ice pack on the side. The kicks that Julia had left were no joke. They had left bruises and her skin was turning a shade of blue that the nurse hadn't liked.The hospital had been informed, curtsey of the Principal who had been here just a second ago, questioning us as to what had actually happened. Debby and I had told him the truth. That we had simply been in the washroom, doing our business when these girls had suddenly come out of nowhere and attacked us. I had voluntarily told him that I had kicked Julia
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 67: Light in the Darkness
Chapter 67: Light in the DarknessBrandon’s P.O.V“Why?” I asked her, as the doors slammed shut after everyone had left and we were once again alone in the room, a dull hum surrounding the room as the chaos from outside subsided.I had no doubts in my mind that someone was still listening from outside, trying to figure out what was going to happen next. So I remembered to keep my voice low. As for Julia? I could only hope that she would have enough sense in her to not make this issue any bigger than it already was.“We fucked right there…on that counter.” She pointed behind me, an odd smile on her face as she looked me in the eyes. “It was the first day that bitch showed up…and she saw us fucking, remember?”I stayed quiet, not knowing where she wanted to lead this conversation.I kept my temper in check with teeth-gritting patience. Constantly having t
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 68: Meeting the Family
Chapter 68: Meeting the FamilyFaith’s P.O.V“Holy shit! Why does my leg look so…thin?” Brandon’s eyes were wide as a child’s as he turned his leg around, looking at it from all possible directions while still sitting on top of the hospital bed. “And…do I have dandruff? On my freaking leg?”“Yes, Mr. Wolfram, those are indeed, dead skin cells, but I wouldn’t call them dandruff.”The doctor looked completely done with Brandon as he gave him a look of utter displeasure from the corner of his eyes. I was barely holding onto my laugh as Brandon continued to examine his leg with something akin to…excitement?“Take these medications, daily for the next month and then once every week for two more months and you should be as good as new.” The doctor handed me the prescription instead of him. “And please…do apply some moisturizer for his leg. And nothing exciting for the next four months, if he doesn’t want to end up back here again.”“Yes, doctor.” I offered him a small smile as he let out yet

The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 101: Happy Ever After
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 100: To the Future
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 99: The Pendant
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 98: The First Date
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 97: A New Beginning
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 96: Forgiveness
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 95: Don’t Want Trouble
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 94: Calling a Truce
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
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 93: Unexpected Confrontations
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
