The Bad Boy's Obsession 20|agitating emotions
Brenda G_____ The weekend did not go as well as planned. My mom called and asked me to go home since she wanted to discuss something urgent with me.On arriving home, I had an earful from her mainly scolding me about picking a fight with Lance. She told me about the benefits of being in Lance's good books and the disadvantages of disobeying the stupid man. I had to listen to her lectures the entire day. At some point, I nearly passed out.At the end of the conversation, she made me promise never to go against Lance. Of course, I agreed but deep down I was cooking up a plan that would ensure Lance's downfall.The weekend gushed by and Monday was here once again. I was seated in class next to Dulcie who was sick the last few days but she looked better than I had last seen her. Her condition seemed to have improved."I'm freezing," Dulcie whispered to me. I couldn't get why she claimed to be freezing and yet it was a sunny day."You didn't fully recover," I placed my hand on her forehe

Jake William_____I furiously tore off the sheet of paper and crumpled it then shoved it on the carpeted floor. My hand reached for the remote control which was lying beside me on the bed, then threw it across the room. The electronic shattered upon impact, resulting in a deafening sound.I wanted to break everything, especially the TV screen which was currently airing the news about my company's state. I hopped out of bed and commenced pacing back and forth in the room while raking my tousled hair.Fury was surging through my being as I watched the news about an accident that had occurred in JW SHIPPING. CO earlier in the day, leading to loss of workers' lives. The accident was a result of a gas leakage which triggered a fire outbreak. The accident not only led to a loss of lives but also, the damage of millions' worth' equipment. This kind of loss impacted the shareholders and investors who had been calling me all evening mainly to talk about their withdrawal from JW SHIPPING CO.T

Brenda G_____An undeniable scepticism consumed me for the past week. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something intimate had happened between Jake and me.I kept having blurry flashbacks of him and me entangled in an embrace as we danced and laughed. He was so close to me, I could feel the scorch of his minty breath on my face. My body was pressed on his so romantically one would have thought that we were romantically involved.What is wrong with me? Am I losing my mind?I scolded my haunting thoughts as I strolled to the Biology class that morning. When I arrived, I was stunned to find that most of the students were not in. My eyes scanned the area in an attempt to locate Jake but I couldn't find him. Suddenly, I saw Sam approaching. A cordial smile was plastered across his face."Hi, Brenda." Sam greeted me."Hi. Wait, am I in the wrong class? Where are the rest? ""Probably on their way. Hey, the chemistry professor has been asking for you." He stated."Why? Did I do somethi

Brenda G_____"Why are we here?" I was beyond surprised when the car halted at the place that I least expected. Jake on the other hand was grinning widely. "Jake, why are we here? " I inquired once more but he remained quiet. Instead, he unbuckled his leather safety belt and opened the door."Do you intend on killing me and throwing my corpse in this river?" I pointed out. But he just chuckled while opening the passenger door for me."Come on, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. I would have probably suffocated you with a pillow and then tossed your corpse in the bathtub."I gasped in shock, " You wouldn't dare Jake William! Because if you do, Gg will kick your ass." I scoffed while stepping out of the car."Who is Gg?""He's my pet camel and he can kick ass pretty good." I challenged him.He broke into laughter, "Are you seriously threatening me with a camel?""Yes." I crossed my arms to my chest. "What's so funny about that?" I growled."The funny part is that a

Brenda G_____"Girl, Sam has a crush on you. He really likes you. Haven't you seen how he keeps giving you those dreamy looks?" Dulcie murmured while chuckling."No. Sam doesn't like me in that manner. He and I are just friends." I responded while strolling through the busy hallway.I could feel it in her voice, she was trying so hard to act cool. I knew so well that she loved Sam so badly."Keep telling yourself that. When we both know that Sammy clearly has a thing for you." She rolled her eyes."Dulcie, even if Sam likes me, I don't feel the same way about him." I sighed."Why? Is it because you have feelings for my cousin?" She wiggled her eyebrows suspiciously.My eyes bulged as the pace of my heartbeats picked up, "wh-at? Why would I like your cousin? I mean, he and I are obviously enemies." I blabbered the words while fighting to control a blush.At the mention of Jake, my mind drifted off to the river. A place where I nearly let him kiss me. He nearly claimed my lips, somethi

Brenda G____ That evening, I was sprawled on the bed reading a steamy romance novel which had me heated up, especially the lovemaking scenes. I was clad in a crop top which barely covered my belly and a pair of denim booty shorts. My bouncy hair was lazily crocheted.'Cepheus hooked his finger at the waistband of her crimson knickers and slid them down her thighs, thus exposing her dampened womanhood. Cleopatra's body temperature spiked the moment Cepheus' finger caressed the sensitive flesh of her womanhood...'My heart was racing furiously as I read the erotic paragraph. I pressed my legs together in an attempt to calm my throbbing core. For a moment, I imagined that Cepheus was Jake and I was Cleopatra. I closed my eyes as imaginations took over my brain. All of it felt so real, the kisses, the caresses... the texture of his fingers on my skin.Brenda snap out of it!My eyes shot open and I swiftly sat up in bed. I needed to stop thinking about Jake. He was not what I was thinkin

Brenda G"Lunch is on me." Sam declared while approaching my desk."Sorry, but I won't be joining you today." I was scribbling some chemistry notes in my notebook.Sam perched on the seat in front of mine. "Still having problems with the chemistry professor?" He picked one of my assignment papers from the desk and commenced examining it."Not really." I grabbed the paper from him. "I submitted the chemistry practical assignments yesterday.""Hmm-when did you complete the practical assignment? Did you do it over the weekend?" He shot a question at me."Yes. Jake and I did it on Saturday." At the mention of Jake's name, the memories of the kiss replayed in my head.The way he claimed my lips and kissed them to obedience made my stomach swarm with butterflies. The roughness of his lips against mine triggered goosebumps all over my skin. The way his warm breath had caressed my lips before he claimed them, left me weak with desire. It was my first kiss, and I craved more. It was evident th

Brenda GI was hurt.I couldn't bring myself to believe that I was falling for someone who always wanted to hurt me.What drove him to hurt me this way? Was it revenge? If he wanted to hurt me, couldn't he have thought of something else?Question after question bombarded my brain, intensifying my headache as sobs tore through my throat. Tears rolled down my cheeks as mucus sluiced from my nostrils. I was in a horrible state, I couldn't bring myself to face anyone after my reputation had been dragged through a pile of mud.I had locked myself in the girl's bathroom, crying my eyes out as Sydney, Dulcie, and Sam, who were outside the room, tried to pacify me."Brenda... please come out." Dulcie pleaded while knocking on the bathroom door."Brenda, you can't cry in there alone, just open up!" Sydney added.They continued begging whereas I continued crying.Didn't the kiss mean anything to him? Why did he have to hurt me this way? He promised that he would never hurt me, so why did he bre

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
The Bad Boy's Obsession 79|his claim
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

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
