The Bad Boy's Obsession 35|truth and breakup
Brenda G____Jake, please don't kiss her. Please.I inwardly prayed with my eyes closed. Then all of a sudden, I felt my body being hoisted off the ground. My eyes bulged upon noticing that I was cradled in his arms. Everyone's attention was on us. "J-jake-what-" I couldn't form a proper phrase."Jake, what's going on?" Cara inquired. "What are you doing?""I am doing what I have been yearning to do in front of everyone." He smashed his lips on mine and gently kissed my lips. It was a brief, sweet kiss. I was too shocked and embarrassed to speak."What The Fuck!" Cara yelled."Are you guys in a relationship?" Syd inquired."Yes." Jake simply replied."I knew it! I knew it!" Sam gritted.Jake let me on my feet then encircled his arm on my waist."Since when?" Cara seethed. Her face was red with anger. "You knew too well that I have feelings for Jake and yet you went ahead and wooed him! How could you Brenda?""Cara, I am sorry -I." I tried to explain."You know what, you are a shamele

SIX YEARS LATER____Brenda G____My heels clicked noisily against the terrazzo creating an irritating tune that echoed through the conference room. My hips, which had been accentuated by the long-sleeved, green body con dress, swayed to the tune of my clicking heels as I advanced to the front of the room to make my presentation. All ten pairs of eyes were glued on me, watching me like an owl hunting a mouse.My back-length hair danced gently in the morning breeze that gushed through the open massive glass windows. A professional smile was glued to my crimson-coated lips.“You got this, Miss Hammond,” I mumbled in hopes of calming the butterflies that were fluttering in my stomach. I took a deep breath, sighed then commenced my presentation.The presentation involved the interior design of a recently constructed hotel in California. The hotel was the biggest hotel in the city, owned by LAUREL Industries. I was to present the decor of the new hotel in terms of the colour of the walls,

Brenda G____“Who is the visitor?”“Your mother.” She replied.“Rose, thank you for informing me.” I got up from my chair and walked towards her.“It’s—my job. You don’t have to thank me. “ Her gaze was glued to the tiled floor.“Rose, what have I told you about gazing at the floor when someone is addressing you?”“You—you said that I should stop doing it.” She timidly replied.“Then why haven’t you?”She chuckled nervously, “I can’t do it. For as long as I recall, I have always had low self-esteem. I guess it’s because of what everyone thinks of me.”“And what is it that?”“They think that I am a fat loser. I mean, no one wants to hang out with me because of my body.” She sighed.“Rose, look...” I called. She shyly gazed at me while chewing on her lips. A habit that she was used to. “You are a beautiful, smart, and kind lady. Let whatever hurtful words they say not affect you. You are beautiful just the way you are.”“Thank you, Miss Hammond.” A smile tugged at her lips.“You’re wel

Brenda G_____"I-didn't mean that your body is ugly or anything. I just meant that--"Why can't I think of a lie?He crossed his thick arms against his sweaty well-built chest. His grass green eyes were sparking with amusement as he watched me try to explain myself for the past three minutes. He cocked his thick, sexy eyebrow as he listened to my distorted explanation.Okay, why is this guy so hot? I mean I can't even think clearly just by standing next to him. Even his sweat reeks of hotness."Miss Hammond, are you trying to say that my body is in fact, too hot?" He took the words right out of my mouth. But he didn't need to know that I thought he's hot."Maybe-I am not a body analyst who deals in analyzing men's bodies." I took off my punching gloves and shoved them on the ground.A small laugh exited his mouth. I watched in awe as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he laughed. His white set of teeth came into view and for a moment I felt ashamed to call myself a girl. His teet

Brenda G_____"You ran into Emilio at the gym?" Gena shrieked. She was too much to deal with, I couldn't hide anything from her."Shhh..." I shushed her. "You'll wake the neighbours," I added."Okay, I will shut up as soon as you tell me all about your little encounter with Emilio Laurel." She urged while adjusting herself on the comfortable sofa. She grabbed a piece of pizza from the open pizza box which was lying on my lap and took a bite.It was 8.00 pm in the night, Gena and I had come home after a long day at work. Since we were both exhausted, we decided to order take out which consisted of a box of pepperoni pizza. That night, we were in the sitting room, watching a telenovela while engaging in a conversation."Gee, the run-in was innocent. Nothing serious happened." I took a huge bite of the delicious slice of Pizza."Like I would believe that." She narrowed her eyes. " It's either you give me the deets, or I will be forced to get it out of you the hard way. I can be very per

Brenda G____After a crazy talk with Gena, I wished her a goodnight and sauntered to my room. I slid under the warm fluffy bed covers and stared into the darkness.The memories that I had held onto for the past six years, streamed in my brain. They were memories of Jake and me. One particular memory of the evening that Jake and I spent at the carousel, brought a smile to my lips. I recall the scared look on his visage as the carousel swirled us around. He had screamed like a frightened kid, making me giggle the entire time. I even took photos of the hilarious scared faces he was making. That had been the evening that he opened up about his phobia of carousels. Later that evening, we stopped by the ice cream stall. I recall the adorable pout on his lips when I licked his strawberry ice cream.My lips stretched into a smile as I reminisced about the happy moments.Jake was the reason for my smile. He was my world and now, he belongs to someone else. He got engaged to someone of his own

Brenda G____The day went by fast and soon it was nightfall. I was in my room, trying on a dress for the date as Gena watched and commented."Try this one." She handed me a single sleeve, scarlet body con dress. I grabbed it and rushed to the bathroom to try it on. After putting on the dress, I stepped out of the bathroom. "Now that's what I'm talking about! " She exclaimed excitedly while scanning my outfit. "Girl, you got an ass!" She yelled like an excited teenage boy."Shhh-the neighbors don't need to hear about it.""But they already did." She continued surveying me, "Damn! I feel bad for the guy, I mean he is gonna be extra hard just by looking at you in that dress!" She dramatically stated and I laughed in return. "Guess who's getting laid tonight, this girl is!" She added."Okay-Gee, enough yelling already." I smilingly stated then walked to the dressing mirror at the corner of my room. The dress had outlined all of my curves and edges. It reminded me of the red dress I had w

Brenda G___Have you ever screwed up so badly that you feel like tossing yourself in a magma-laden volcanic vent?That's exactly how I felt after mistaking Emilio for Jake and kissing him. What was worse was that I ran off, denying Emilio an explanation for my behavior. He deserved at least an explanation after I harassed his delicate lips with kisses.In my defense all of this was Jake's fault. He got into my head and made me imagine him saying all those sweet things to me. Only he was to blame for my predicament.Keep telling yourself that, Brenda. When we both know that you are the one who can't stop thinking about Jake. You think of him all the time. Aren't you ashamed that he's an engaged man? Also, can't you see that you're being selfish to Emilio?My judgemental conscience voiced.Brenda, the only way you're gonna be truly happy is by being honest with yourself. Stop pretending to have broken up with Jake and yet you still think about him. Stop leading Emilio on, only to leave

The Bad Boy's Obsession 80|light in the end
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
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
