The Bad Boy's Obsession 12|play for me
Brenda G_____ We were in the music room where the practical session was to take place.It was so hurting to listen to how some of us had a good relationship with their parents. The whole session reminded me of my mum. I remembered when I once brought up the topic of wanting to learn Piano, mum turned me off.Harriet ranted about how her parents supported her and nurtured her talent. I was jealous. I wished that mum could have shown a little effort into what I loved, what I wanted.That made me sad. I couldn't help but feel the immense pain in my chest. It had been weeks since I moved, and only dad called me to know how I was fairing.I missed them. To be honest, I missed mum so much even though she hated me. Just having people we could share dinner with, was enough. I had no count of how many times I skipped dinner, I only used to eat well if Sydney visited me and we would spend the night at my place.My mum hurt me so badly, but I still missed her so much. I missed my family.I didn

Brenda G_____ "Done! " I declared then glared at the three girls who were engrossed in the calculations. Their visages were clouded with uncertainty. It was quite evident that they were having a hard time solving the mathematical problem.Sydney resembled a Halloween witch. Her Valkyrie gold hair was sprawled all over her head messily and her brow was wrinkled from stress. Her slim fingers severally raked through her locks of hair as she tried to solve the unsolvable equation. Irritated clicks escaped her mouth frequently.Clearly, Maths is a monster to some people. Syd, being one of those people.Dulcie on the other hand was smart as she seemed to be solving the mathematical problem just fine. However, she suffered from self-doubt it's why she kept doubting her answers and steps. When I peeked at her notebook, I noticed that she had erased the correct answer more than once and was currently solving it wrongly.She reminded me of my best friend, Lucy. The girl always doubted her ans

Brenda G_____I was strolling behind the girls since I was on a phone call with my dad. Yes, my phone had survived Jake's apocalypse. The screen was cracked but the phone worked just fine.My dad was catching me up on the events at home. He lamented about how he missed my presence at home and also informed me of Gg had grown lean because he missed me too.Poor Gg. I should visit him one of these days.After a long phone call with him, I hung up.The more we approached the basketball pitch, the louder the noise became. The boys were running around the pitch, dribbling the ball while yelling at the top of their voices.We took our respective seats on the benches. The afternoon sun was baking the players who dripped with perspiration as heavy pants exited their mouths. Sam who looked enfeebled, was taking a breather outside the pitch. His palms were over his knees as he bent over. His basketball jersey was drenched with sweat.My eyes rested on Jake who was drowned in the game. The ball

Brenda G_____ "What the actual fuck?" A hiss left my lips as soon as my gaze rested on a rotund man in an expensive midnight six-piece suit.He was standing close to the entrance of the classroom where he was engaged in a dialogue with the school Director. His mere presence suffocated me, he was a constant reminder that my family was in his debt. After all, I signed the contract that sealed my fate.What did he want? I had forgotten about him for the last few weeks as I was having a good time with my new friends.My eyes rested on his composed persona while all kinds of thoughts on how I could expose him to the whole world devoured my brain.Lance was a monster in a suit. Beneath that expensive attire and that gentlemanly facade, he was a manipulative bastard who deserved to rot in the darkest prison cell.His cold, aquamarine eyes met mine for a brief moment and my blood froze in my veins. The corners of his eyes were wrinkled as a result of smiling at whatever Director Emilia Dior

Brenda G____ "Brenda! " Dulce called. The next thing I felt was my body being pulled into an embrace."This is a family matter, so stay out of it!" Lance threatened Jake. The whole class had gathered in the hallway. Including the professor."You call beating up a student a 'family matter?" Jake's rage was seeping through his speech. His eyes made contact with mine and I could see the concern that clouded them."Yes, I have every right to discipline her when she does something wrong. I would suggest that you don't poke your nose where it shouldn't be, young man. Unless you want me to discipline you as well." He threatened.I wanted to jump on him. He was so pathetic. I hated him, my heart hated his mere presence."Oh yeah, you wanna hit me like you did her? Go ahead man, take your best shot." Jake dared.He was dangerously close to Lance. His towering height overshadowed Lance's shorter frame. Anyone could tell that Jake could beat the man senselessly. Jake had an upper hand. Tension

Jake William_____ Her silvery pair of eyes that always held pure beauty bore into mine remorselessly, as evil danced in them. Her silicone lips which were always sumptuous, sensuous, and velour soft, were busted and bleeding. They were twisted into a dangerous smile. Most of her face was flawed with purple bruises. Fresh blood seeped from the lesions. Her polished fingers gripped the steel bars of the jail as agitation took over her."Jake babe," she addressed me, "do something to get me out of this shit hole. Please-" She pleaded."Let me out so that I can finish off that bitch. How dare she come between us and think that I will stand by and watch?" She grumbled angrily while gripping the metallic bars firmly. It was as though she would rip the bars off.The girl before me was not the Harriet that I fell in love with. She was an embodiment of evil. How could she batter someone so evil out of pure jealousy?"Jake, please get me out of this place. I can't stand-""You should have tho

Brenda G____I loathed hospitals, especially the putrid stench of blood, medicine, and every other nauseating smell. It's why I yanked off the bed covers in an attempt to get out of the bed where I felt suffocated.I mean, it was just a headache which I could have managed while at home. I didn't have to come to the hospital.Dulcie was peacefully napping on the sofa at the corner of the room. She wasn't supposed to be with me that late but she offered to stay. I felt happy for having good friends, whom I could rely on. I had learned to like her genuinely.Standing from the bed, I stretched my hands in then let out a yawn. My joints creaked as a result of the stretch. My injury had been dressed and also I had been injected with some pain relievers. I felt much better.Pushing the curtains to peek outside, someone entered the room which drew my attention. Dulcie also woke up looking as if she had just had a nightmare.The intruder was Jake.Jake closed the door with a huge force which

Brenda G____ Friday finally arrived and as custom, it was a day in which we did the Chemistry assignments in the laboratory. The assignments mainly involved chemistry practicals. We always performed the experiments in pairs. That morning was no exception.My tummy fluttered with a million butterflies the moment I found out that my lab partner was Jake Williams. I was both excited and nervous to work with him.Something always crawled to the surface whenever I saw him. He was affecting me in more ways than one. At times during class, I would steal glances at him. He was rude and arrogant but sometimes sweet.At first, I thought that I was high on drugs. That's why I was thinking of him in such a manner. But then, I found out that in fact, I was comfortable with how he was. Whether rude or sweet, I found it suited him.Poor me.I was the type of girl who likes bad boys, those girls mostly are found in books and movies.The guy is a prince. Though the surprising part of all this is tha

The Bad Boy's Obsession 81|royal dinner
Brenda GSomething is wrong.I reached out to the glass of water beside the meal I had been busy pretending to be eating. Something in the food was not going well with my stomach. I could feel a gush of nausea churning down in my belly.I drank some water that pushed it down. I needed to focus and not ruin my composure at a royal dinner where everyone was busy enjoying the meal. I was the eye of the dinner, everyone kept glimpsing at me as though trying to see what I had to attract a royal prince.Beside me, Jake was busy devouring his meal, his one hand was gently rubbing my thigh while he used the free one to eat. I felt secure with him, he managed to ease my nerves ever since we arrived.Everyone was nice, I met Jake's mother who was average in height, beautiful, and always with a smile on her lips. The moment we arrived, she took me from Jake and toured me around the palace as she introduced me to other royal family members. Her husband was a straightforward person, I saw Jake in

Brenda GThe cold morning breeze nipped my skin, triggering goosebumps that swam all over my exposed flesh. I drew the shawl against my semi-naked body, in an attempt to generate some heat and hopefully snuff out the cold.The golden specks of the rising sun bathed my skin, replacing the cold with warmth. A smile curved on my lips as I watched the yellow ball of energy emerge beyond the horizon, splashing its rays on the azure ocean waters. It was the most magnificent view.We arrived at a beach house which was one of Jake's private properties. He mentioned it would be a good idea to lay low for a while together with my father and I agreed.Fresh morning air seeped through my nose, gushing into my lungs as I took a deep breath. Melodious chirps of birds and insects caressed my ears, soothing my soul.For a moment I was able to forget about the painful truth. That I was an adopted child whose biological mother died at childbirth and whose father was unknown. Did my father even know abo

Brenda GSeeing my dad again, after so many months, was the most joyous feeling for me. I couldn't stop hugging and sobbing on his shoulder as he soothed me lovingly in his arms."Dad-I am so sorry. It's because of me that you had to go through so much pain and torment." I cupped his bandaged face in my palms as tears cascaded down my cheeks."None of this is your fault. Lance and Melissa are to blame." He replied. "I should have never trusted that woman." Regret filled his eyes. "A woman as horrible as her deserves to be punished for her wrongs. Your mother entrusted her with you-" He paused after realising that he had blurted something."Is there something you're not telling me?" I dug for answers."No child, I don't want you to find out the truth this way-" He avoided eye contact."What truth? Please tell me, dad." A plea left my mouth."Brenda, it's the truth about your real mother." He spoke."Real mother? Isn't Melissa my mother?" I stuttered."No, she's not. Brenda, you are our
The Bad Boy's Obsession 78|the end of trouble
Jake William"Take cover!" I spun Brenda around and then rushed with her to a hidden corner, somewhere in the room, the others followed."Finally! I thought that you'd never arrive." Harriet declared as the guards untied her and Melisa. "Kill them all!" Harriet barked as she and Melissa ran off. . It was an open fire as Lance's goons shot at us and we attempted to shield ourselves with furniture."They are too many, what do we do?" Emilio shot a question at me."We need to team up and fight them off." I prompted."No, Jake, it's dangerous." Brenda protested. "We don't have enough weapons to fight them off." She added."We can't hide here knowing they are approaching us," I whispered as I checked the bullets remaining in the gun.Death was lurking in the dimly lit room like a shadow waiting to devour each and every one of us. Lance's men were turning the place inside out, trying to find us. "Come
The Bad Boy's Obsession 77|plan gone wrong
Jake WilliamI knew saving Brenda's dad would be hard but I never inferred that it would be challenging.We had everything planned out. Things were falling into place. Thanks to Adrian, we had Brenda's dad's location. I sent the coordinates to the agents, informing them of the retrieval. It was a delicate mission. It's why I deployed skilled agents to perform the task. I was certain that It would work-that they would find Mr. Hammond and save him. To my disappointment, Lance was a step ahead of us. He managed to outsmart us.His new plan was about my royalty status. He planned to get me involved in a scandal all over the media.I was not gonna give up though, I had to fight for Brenda and her friends.I was busy plotting a plan as Lance's men dragged us towards our doom. There were five men in total and all of them were armed. Even if I attacked, I couldn't manage to eliminate all five of them."Hey, I need to go to the bath

Brenda G"It's me." The voice which was none other than Adrian's spoke. I could feel the coldness of his rings pressing the flesh of my mouth. "Come with me." He took my hand and led me to the unknown."Where are we going, Adrian?" Curiosity got the better of me."To your friends." He replied. "They asked me to fetch you." He added.A door was pushed open, to reveal a dimly lit room, "Where is this place?" I shot a question at him as soon as I walked in."It's an old guest room, no one comes here anymore." He replied."Where are they?" My eyes were scanning the place but couldn't spot anyone."Patience." I watched as he typed some numbers on a keypad that was engraved on a wall. A door creaked open -revealing a secret room."After you." He paved the way for me and I waltzed into a study room. Jake, Gena and Emilio were conversing when we walked in."Bree." Gena excitedly stated upon seeing me.

Brenda GHis question struck my ears like a bomb, leaving me paralyzed with shock. No words could come out of my mouth as I stared at the man who was on his knee with an expectant look in his eyes. My heart stilled in its cage, unable to beat.The temperature of my body dropped, triggering shivers that crawled down my spine. A mixture of emotions coursed through my being, shock being the main feeling.Why did he propose tonight? Wasn't the engagement supposed to be after a week?Questions swam through my brain, triggering confusion that ate at me mercilessly.Did he do this on purpose? To trap me? Does he perhaps know about my plan to ruin him?I couldn't find the answers to questions that were burrowing through my brain."Will you marry me?" He repeated the question while gazing into my stupefied eyes. I couldn't bring myself to say, yes. Not when I was so close to winning, so close to rescuing my dad. Not whe
The Bad Boy's Obsession 74|unexpected proposal
Brenda GThe event was getting boring and Lance was busy with his guests. He had some guests he valued too much that he ended up letting me slip out of his arms. Which was good because I was free to at least go and breathe.My gaze settled on Jake, Gena and Emilio who were conversing among themselves. "Excuse me," I said to one of the guests whom I was talking to and made my way to the three. "Hey." They shifted their attention to me."Bree." Gena gazed at me."Can we go somewhere more private?" I proposed. The four of us scurried to an isolated kitchen away from the party."I am nervous, is everything set?" I inquired while gazing at the three."Yes. Everything is set. All that is remaining is to get a call but our plan B is still on move. " Emilio explained. "By the end of the night, we will know your father's location."Jake took my hands in his and then gave them an assuring squeeze. "I have my team of
The Bad Boy's Obsession 73|peaks of dyspathy
Brenda G"My love, you look gorgeous." His warm breath scorched my cheek as he whispered the words to me. My stomach flipped with disgust at his words, brewing nausea which threatened to rip my gut apart.The feel of his lips on my cheek triggered goosebumps of antipathy which swam all over my skin. His very presence, touch, scent drove me to the peaks of dyspathy. I desiderated to tear his hand from my waist and erase his touch from my skin because everything about him ailed me to the core."Thank you, my love." The words scorched my throat like acid as they erupted from my mouth. A smile made its way to my lips as I glanced at his form. He was clad in a black six-piece suit that hugged his rotund frame, accentuating his potbelly. Grey hairs matted his chin -an indication of his ripe age. His pair of silvery irises, interlocked with mine for a moment. An icy sensation crawled down my spine as his eyes stared into mine. It felt like he was trying to u
