The Badboy's Redemption PROLOGUE
My name is Alicia.Alicia Smith.I do not come from one of those rich pretentious perfect families that preach to their brat kids about the importance of being at the top of the food chain of society. In fact, my family is kinda messed up. My mum and dad got divorced when I was eight. My dad died a year later after the divorce, and my mum got married to one Sylvester guy six months after my dad's death. Sarah is the only real family member I have, and if I were to be reincarnated into this world and born into another family, Sarah is that only sibling I will pray to God to bless me with again. She took me into her arms and shielded me from the wraths of this world when we both lost the protection of our parents. For Sarah, I will go to the lengths and breadths of this world if need be. She is the reason why I am damn serious with my studies. And coupled with the messed up family I come from, I do not need to be told that I need to work hard not to end up like my parents.My private li
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER ONE
"You are a naughty girl, Alicia."His husky voice mutes every thought in my brain. A helpless moan elicits from my lips as his finger rubs my clit, making me squirm to his tormentous touch."Do you want me to stop Alicia?""No Luke. Plea. . . . . please don't. . . . . . don't stop please."I arch my back up from the bed as he continues to torture me with his finger. He trails tiny kisses on the skin of my left inner thigh, his taunting lips traveling upwards to my pleasure core. Laboured breaths escape my lips in pants as my heart thrums against my chest, knowing where his soft plum lips are heading to.Just as his lips graze across the skin of my soft hairless mound—"BZZZZZZZZ!"I groan in anger as I stir on my bed, my alarm buzzing loudly through my ears. The sound shatters my erotic dream to pieces as it pierces through my skull.Of all times to buzz off, why NOW?!I hiss in annoyance and sweep my hand across the top of my bedside drawer, feeling its surface to locate the damn ala

"What the fuck!"I curse, clutching my hands on the leather jacket of the crook who had bumped into me. He even has the nerve to attempt to leave me here on the ground and walk away like he just did nothing."Are you mad—"My sentence cuts off when the guy snaps around. My breath catches when my eyes rest on the face of the miscreant.Luke Evans! Fucking Luke Evans!I should not be surprised at his voracious ill-manneredness."Get your hands off me, Smith."I ignore him and clutch tighter to his jacket, using his rather soild stance as a means of getting up from the ground. Pain rips through my left knee, and I almost fall down again, but thanks to my hold on this bastard's jacket, I regain my footing."Are you blind Evans?!""What did you just say?" He barks."I asked if you are blind, Evans!"He jerks my hands off his jacket and straightens the rough folds on his jacket caused by my hands."I think you are the one who is blind, Smith."He smirks. Anger bubbles in the pit of my stomac
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER THREE
"Settle down everyone."Mr Douglas says as he arranges his files and notes on the teacher's table before him. Reece guides me to my seat and I settle down.Her blazing eyes glare at my left seatmate, who looks like he is participating in a frowning competition. I will leave you with a hint that will help you guess who my left seatmate is: I called him an arrogant brat this morning."Are you sure you can manage through this class?" Reece whispers, concern in her voice."Yes I can. I am not going to miss class because of some. . . . .badboy."I can feel Luke's eyes burning through the skin of my face, but I don't fucking care.If he is angry that I called him a badboy, then he is a more excellent denial expert than the disciple Peter of the bible.Reece nods at my response and moves to sit on her seat, which is two seats in front of mine. I put my phone on silent and focus my attention on Mr Douglas's back as his hand pens down the topic of today's class on the board: PAINTINGS OF HUMAN
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER FOUR
"Is there anything wrong Miss Smith?" Mr Douglas asks.My throat is tight, and I struggle to find the words to speak, to answer, but how can I talk when the air that is to fuel my words has evaporated from my lungs?"Miss Smith?"Mr Douglas's voice sounds like a faint siren to my already pounding ears. I lift my eyes from the paper and shoot my gaze at the boy that I have been trying to avoid making any eye contact with.Luke's eyes lock with mine. For a moment, the whole world goes silent and disappears, leaving me trapped in the chaotic blue ocean of my adversary's eyes.I feel the paper being taken away from my grasp, but I am too shocked and too immersed in my traumatic state to notice."Group Nine, we have Alicia Smith and Luke Evans."Luke's eyes widen in surprise. Low catcalls and whispers fill the air.This can't be happening! This nightmare can't be fucking happening to me!__________________________I am still frozen in place when Mr Douglas continues to call out the remaini

The air in the clinic smells of medicine and Swiss Air Freshener. I shut the door, the sound making Mrs Green, the fair chubby nurse sitting at her desk near one of the beds in the clinic to look up from the stack of office files in front of her."Hey Alicia. How are you?""To be honest Mrs Green, I am not fine.""Is everything alright?" She asks, her eye brows raised as she stands up from her chair."I fell down on the stairs in front of the school's entrance and hurt my left knee. It is really painful.""Oh my dear."She reaches me where I stand and wraps one of her arms gently around my waist. She guides me to a spring bed draped with a blue bedsheet."Here, sit."I settle my ass down on the bed. She brings a chair, places it in front of me and sits down on the chair. I wince when she lifts my left leg and places it on her laps."Sorry dear. I need to examine the area."I wince further when the fingers of her right hand begin to press around the regions of my left knee. Some parts
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER SIX
The rest of the classes before lunch go by pretty fast. Miss Oregon, our Literature teacher, allowed me into the class after I explained to her that I was coming from the school's clinic. It wasn't tough coining out the words to use, moreover, I am a role model student. The next valedictorian. And I have a very clean student record, so it wasn't hard for me to convince her to allow me into the class.During lunch break, Reece and I arrive at the cafeteria and order our lunch. Within a few minutes, our lunch order is set and we carry our trays to our favourite table: The table by the window facing the lawn outside. The lushious green beauty lies calm, radiating the rays of sunlight. My lunch expenditure ever since I became a student of Riverdale High has always been spent with Reece and I picking at our food and talking about stuffs that pique our interests.Recently, Reece has been engulfed in the Kpop world, always squealing in delight and ranting non-stop whenever she talks about Ju
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER SEVEN
Luke stops his motorcycle in front of Bailey's, a popular diner in town. The aroma of spicy fried chicken and hamburgers and all manner of sweet foods seeping out of the door of the diner cloaks around my nose, teasing my senses."What are we doing here Luke?" I ask."We are here to talk about the project, and since I am hungry too, it is better to kill two birds with one stone. Are you hungry?""No I am not."Another crispy aroma of French fries and fried chicken wafts through my nostrils, and my stomach does a loud growl, betraying my lie."I think your stomach disagrees with you."I clutch my belly and bite down my lower lip. Luke coughs."Ladies first.""I didn't know you were such a gentleman." I taunt. I open the door of the diner and enter inside, with Luke following me behind.We get to a quiet spot at the left end of the diner. I settle down on the lounge chair. Luke sits down on the one opposite mine, and waves to a waiter standing by the bar.The waiter walks up to us, a ple

What?!" I gasp.The breeze whips through Luke's hair, blowing it across his face. His hand pushes it back."Yeah. There is this lady called Sienna that I started seeing quite often with my dad since like three months ago. She is pretty, jovial, and I thought she was just one of my dad's friends. But this week Monday, my dad came out to me about his true relationship with her. I was paralyzed with shock to the point that I couldn't do anything that day." "You said you found out this week Monday?" I interrupt, my mind going through a puzzle."Yeah."The dots connect. Shit. "So that was why you weren't in school that day?" I blurt out, my realization hitting me with a bang.He nods. "The news fucked up my head so bad that I couldn't bring myself to come to school that day. I spent most of that day at Tyler's studio. I wasn't expecting to see you there later that day. I also wasn't in my right frame of mind." He sighs deeply. "I still feel a bit pissed at myself that I reacted so bad towa

This is cruel. This is so cruel. So cruel that I feel like dragging my fingers through my hair. So cruel that it reminds me of my own pain. So when Luke was grappling with his mum's death, I and Sarah were being whisked around from court to court to listen to my parents yell and throw curses at each other and to listen from judge to judge asking Sarah and I which parent we would want to stay with. Why do we have to suffer for the shitty things our parents did? We didn't force any of them to bring us into this world. The least they could have done for us was to try to be better for us."I passed the night at my uncle's place. I stayed in his house a couple more days, and then on the third day, in the morning, my dad showed up at my uncle's house, looking normal. He begged me to come back home with him. My uncle, who was his elder brother, beat him up so badly and had the police arrest him for trespassing his property. It was a tough, ugly scenerio to watch. During my mom's burial, my da

He goes super still and silent at my question for a while, but just when I begin to think that he may not answer me or do anything, his hands on my back and face leave my body. He steps back a bit from me and lifts his t-shirt up over his head, exposing his naked torso to me. My eyes go directly to the tattooed date on the left side of his abdomen.15. 05. 2012.I am not given enough time to ogle at it because Luke turns around in silence, his inked back facing me as he walks to a space on the clearing a little bit far from the motorcycle. I watch his hard muscles flex with each movement. They flex harder when he settles down on the mowed grass. He drops his t-shirt to his bosom, staring afar at the blue water crashing its waves to the rocks.I wonder what is going through his mind right now, but I know that whatever it is must definitely be related to my question earlier. His silence lures me to join him there, and I do. I walk over to him and settle down beside him on the grass. His

I stare back squarely at him, gulping hard. "Even if you wish you could take it back, the sad news is you can't, Luke, because I love you too."My somersaulting heart gradually stops thumping so hard, and I feel like a huge burden has just been uplifted from my chest. Luke blinks hard at my confession, the action making a single tear drop from his right eye down to his cheek. He wipes it away quickly as his eyes squint back at me, crease lines appearing on the top of his forehead. He takes a step back away from me, shaking his head. A sad chuckle escapes from his lips."You don't have to fucking lie to me that you love me just to make me feel better, Alicia. I do not want your pity. What I want is your complete honesty with me, at least I deserve that."My heart shreds. Why is everything crumbling so fast? I love him. Why can't he see that? I know exactly what I feel for him. It is crazy. Exhilarating, and I know for sure that I did not leave my fucking house just to come all this way
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER FORTY ONE
The wind whips through my hair roughly, wheezing past me in sharp gusts as Luke races down the road with a speed that steals every of my exhaling breaths away. I love the cool sharp feeling of the wind blasting my face, but what I love more is how the blowing wind carries Luke's scent to me.Gosh I love this. I love him. I still hate myself for having to deny the truth to myself for this long.We race past various cars and road signs, and I feel my eyes nearly popping out of their sockets when I catch the view of a set of hills outside town.The truth is that they are not just some ordinary set of hills that I have never seen before. They are the same set of hills that Luke and I visited the day he showed me his art studio for the first time. The blue water waves are splashing at the thick rocks beneath the tall cliffs, their crashing beauty reminding me of the awe I felt when I saw them for the very first time that day.I know Luke is taking us there. I can feel it deep in my guts.I

"Mr Douglas?" I croak out, still finding it very hard to believe my eyes.What the hell am I seeing right now?! What the freaking hell is going on here?!"Alicia what are you. . . . .what are you doing here?" He stutters back at me, his blue eyes bulging so wide that I can clearly see the shock and discomfort shimmering in them.Wait a minute.I turn my eyes away from Mr Douglas and place them right back at Luke, who is now staring at me like I just caught him gorging on a forbidden box of sweet milk candies. That is when I see it. Notice it. For the very, first, time.The resemblance is there. Fuck! It has always been there. In their identical deep blue eyes and perfectly sculpted jawlines. The rest of Luke's facial features look softer, feminine.And I figure out instantly that he may be sharing those softer features with his mom, who I am just finding out today, is dead.God. Why the fuck does no one in school know about them? Just how much don't I know about Luke Evans?The tensi
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
"Hey Alicia, how are you?"Tyler's voice is the first thing that greets me immediately I step out of the cab that drops me in front of his studio, which was of course the first place that popped into my mind to go search for Luke.I just hope he is here."I am cool." I reply, looking around the premises. My doubt begins to poke my insides when I don't see any sign of Luke's motorcycle parked around. "Have you seen Luke? Is he here?" I hurriedly rush out the questions.Tyler shakes his head. "No. He is not here." He corks his eyebrows at me, looking me over, two thin lines creasing at the top of his forehead. "What is going on Alicia? You look. . . . . .tensed."Tensed is an understatement. He should see how torn apart and messy I look inside."It is just. . . . ." I take in a short breath. "I have been searching and calling Luke, but he has not picked any of my calls.""Yo, what happened between you two?"I scratch the back of my neck in impatience. "It is a long story Tyler. Please, d
The Badboy's Redemption CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT
I climb out of the bathtub and wipe my wet body quickly with my towel. When I dash into my room, I glance at the clock.It is just 8:45am.Sarah must be very tired and probably asleep right now, so I will just drop her a note.I quickly go through my skincare routine of applying my body lotion and my facial cream and serum. Next, I throw on a black tank top and blue jeans shorts. The sun is surprisingly hot this early in the morning, and the last thing I need now is to feel sweaty in big clothes.I brush my hair and pull it up into a messy bun. After applying some powder and lip gloss with some perfume, I pick up a pen and tear out a sheet of paper from my rough book to scribble down a note to Sarah, to inform her that I will be leaving to go see Luke. Done, I grab my sling bag lying lazily on my bed and tuck in the note, my phone, my spare library key, and some cash from my drawer into the bag.I glance at the clock again. 9:02am.I look back at myself in the mirror and gulp in a bre
