I felt the weight of someone's gaze upon my shoulders. I tried to ignore the unsettling feeling aside but it only bothered me more. All eyes had been nailed on us the moment John my friend ushered me to the dance floor and that's when I felt someone intently looking at me there was something utterly strange about the stare which I failed to fathom.My wondering eyes surveyed the densely packed crowd with growing unease, I didn't expect that we would have a sea of visitors tonight when I was only expecting a small celebration for my birthday. But the guest gathered around us with keen no eyes, watching me dance with John were too much. "Nervous?" John asked."Yes, John", because there are so many here and it is also surprising that my parents organized such a big party for me." don't be nervous okay, I am sure it is not something serious if not they won't have done this for you.Thank you, John, Stephenie mumbled "By the way, you are looking handsome today and even Arianna looks bea
Are you okay? you seem disturbed Arianna and John asked Stephanie when she sat beside them.Is nothing just that when I was dancing with that guy I was not feeling comfortable Stephanie saidWhy isn't he handsome and charming Arianna asksHe is in fact when I was dancing with him I felt somehow strange and I also felt a way I have never felt before but I don't want to put my mind to it because I want to focus on my school so I can graduate Stephanie said Okay babes and for me, I don't want to think about any relationship with anyone on till I graduate too so, for now, I want to focus on my mom's health and my siblings too Arianna said Stephanie looked at John and he understood why Stephanie was looking at him." I think it's time for you all to know the main reason why I invited you, people, to my daughter's birthday party". Mrs. Rivers said with the microphone in her hand which made her voice sound louderEveryone in the huge sitting room stop what they were doing and turned their f
Babe, are you okay? Lorenzo tried to bring her back from her imagination after seeing how shocked she was.Horn they have gone already are you going to remain like this still tomorrow he asked again since Stephenie was not saying anything.Horn, babe, he said confused about what to say next, and placed his hands on her shoulder she then came back to her senses and asked him" What are you still doing here everyone has gone so why are you still here she asked angrily.Babe calm down you know it is not good for your health and you know you are speaking to your husband he said smiling at her She just stared at him confused about what to say next to him because with what she is seeing she will never win against this man.I know you guys must be tired so you guys should go and rest. Mr. Lorenzo since we just announced your wedding with my daughter today you won't be able to sleep in one room with her because she needs time to process what she just discovered. Your room is directly opposit
I have decided... I don't want to get married to Mr. Lorenzo Stephenie blurted out of nowhere while they were having breakfast with Mr. LorenzoShe had thought about it overnight. If she wanted to marry him or any guy she must fall in love with the person and for now, she is not ready for it.And the only way for her to stop the marriage is to tell her parents and Mr . Lorenzo that she doesn't want to get married just yet as Arianna and John advised her to do.Mr. Rivers choked hard when he heard Stephanie's words and spat out all the food inside his mouth. Mrs . Rivers stood up to gently pat her husband's back while she directly looked at her daughter. When while Lorenzo was not surprised when he heard her reject the marriage proposal but he never knew she will just speak it all loud." Oh my God, Stephanie? What are you talking about? Are you even fully awake, or you are still sleepy? She exclaimed a shock plastered all over her face.Then, she shifted her gaze to her husband and sa
2 weeks afterMom, how are you doing now? Arianna asks her mom the moment she got inside her mom's hospital room.Am doing great sweetheart and the doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital already. Arianna Mom said Okay mom let me go sign the discharge papers I will be back Arianna told her mother and step outside to go sign the discharge papers and she was back a few minutes with a wheelchair for her mom since it was a hospital policy that any discharged patients must use a wheelchair still they are out of the hospital. So Arianna help her mother to sit in the wheelchair and they left the hospital with a few nurses beside them. When they got outside the hospital the nurses help her put her mom inside the car that was parked outside and they left with the wheelchair while arianna join her mom in the car as they head home.So sweetheart why are you the only person who came to pick me up from the hospital what happened to your siblings arianna asks Mom I forgot to tell you t
It has been two months since the incident where I had to sleep with someone I don't know just to be able to save my mother from her illness and to be frank I don't regret what I did because I know if it was my mom she would have made sure to do everything possible to be able to save me. But what I don't understand is that doing this period have changed a lot can you imagine I shouted at Rolan last week evening because he drank the black coffee I kept in the kitchen to the point where I almost slap him thank God mom was there in time to stop me if not I would have regretted my actions but the fact that I have never liked coffee not to take off black coffee is what that bothered me because I know I prefer my milk to coffee but now I like in fact I love black coffee to milk. And the rate at which I eat now is alarming and which has made my friend Stephenie keep teasing me that I am pregnant but she will later tell me she is joking because according to her apart from the overfeeding and
MR. LORENZO HOW ABOUT I GIVE YOU MY BODY FOR THE BALANCE""DON'T WORRY MR. LORENZO YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO ENTER MY V CARD"Those are the only words that keep ringing inside Lorenzo's brain making him shocked because he couldn't believe his wild cat was doing everything possible to not marry him but for him, he took it as a challenge because most of the women in the city could do everything possible to be with him even if it is to be his sex toys they don't mind and not to talk about marriage they could kill for that meanwhile the lady fifteen away from him is doing everything within her powers to get him out of her life making him fall in love with the lady the more.Lorenzo came back to his senses when he heard her saying " Never mind maybe you have an illness that is stopping you from answering or maybe you don't want me to find out that you are not good in bed ". And she starts walking out of the door when she heard the voice of an angry man.When Lorenzo heard what she said it
The next day in the morning Stephanie turn her face to touch the other side of the bed with her hand but she was surprised that the place was empty and not just empty but it was also cold meaning the person that was sleeping there has woken up a long time ago. Feeling used and stupid she woke up and sat on the bed with so much pain all over her body cover the blanket well on her body and tried to get down from the bed to the bathroom but the pain she was feeling all over her body, especially her legs which have become normed made her not to be able to get down from the bed but she did not give up and tried getting up again when the door of the bathroom was pushed operevealingng, Lorenzo, just with a towel round his waist and water dripping from his wet soft hair to his broad chest making Stephenie be lust as she kept staring at his broad chest, his soft pink lips and his hair just imaging what she could do to them at that moment but her imagination was cut short when Lorenzo asks her
After walking out of Evans Brook, I entered my class only to be greeted by a disgusting scene. Clara Lester the leader of the bad girl's group in our class was busily humiliating one of our classmates while the whole class was watching. I walk up to them and asked"What going on here?" Wow, girls see who we have here it's Nesla Saviour who is known order than Raiser Williams. Clara said and her two foolish friends started laughing the whole class was quiet and all eyes were on us. But still, I didn't back down. As asked Nesla. "Why are they humiliating you like this? And she answered with a sobbing voice." she saw me talking to Evans, one of the school's bad boys, and that's why she and her friends are doing this to me."After getting what Nesla said it was like I should pull out does stupid brains of three ladies but adjusting myself I decided not to do it. So I asked them a question." Why will you be humiliating your fellow girl just because of those three fellows who don't even
Just woke up by the sound of my alarm with a frown on my face but I won't miss school because it is a week to exam. Very soon we will be writing our end-of-term exam and we will be going for a break I can't wait to finally go be with my elder sister. Getting caught up in my thoughts I tried getting up and preparing for school. After taking my bath and putting on my school uniform. I walk out of my room to go check on my brother who always loves waking up by a lap on the jour. When I got to his room he was not on the bed which was not that strange because for the past 2 weeks now he has been getting up on his own and at times he even get up before me. After checking his entire room to make sure he was truly not in his room but he was not around. I walk out Of his room with a smile on my face because I know my brother started getting up early ever since he met this Monica of a girl. When I walk downstairs I saw him sitting on one of the chairs at the dining table waiting for his brea
After Raiser, Roland and Mrs. Williams were done with their lunch. Raiser and Roland cleared the dishes as they took the dirty dishes to the kitchen and they both washed the dishes when they were done with the dishes they walk out of the kitchen and they saw their mother sitting on one of the coaches in their living room and was discussing with someone on the phone and they became more interested in the conversation especially when their mom called the person dear."Raiser turned and looked at Roland. That must be Arianna calling or what do you think? Raiser said " I think she is the person who let's go talk to her. Roland said and they both walked to their mother's side."Dear, your siblings are done arranging the kitchen. You can now talk to them. Arianna's mother said and put the phone on speaker." Hello, sis!! Raiser said "How are you guys doing? Arianna asked" sis, we are doing fine, and you?"I'm doing great. How is the school doing? Hope you guys are doing well and preparin
And I am positive that she will call them to check up on them. Kenzo said."By the way, I have decided to give up my search for that girl because I can't continue to be looking for someone who does not want to be found." Are you sure you are making the right decision? Lorenzo asked "Yeah, in fact, this is the best decision I have ever made. And also I can't continue searching for her because if my enemies find out I am looking for a woman they will think she is my weakness and they will end up using her against me and I don't want that." But you know that is not a better solution because I know very well you can protect her from your enemies. Have you ever thought of the fact that she might be carrying your baby or did you use protection when you were having sex with her? Lorenzo asked."You are right, but I am tired of using my resources on someone I don't even know what she looks like in reality and if she is indeed pregnant as you said then that will be a good thing and I am pos
You know what? Why don't we go out and have fun for now because in the future you won't be able because you will be with your woman and baby? Kenzo said trying to change Lorenzo's mood. And luckily he succeeded in changing his mood. "But what if she doesn't come back to this City?" Lorenzo asked "A chick will always go out doing the day but at night the check will come back looking for the mother. The same goes for the mother Hen who will also come back to the owner. So trust me your woman will come back to you." "What if she comes back and she is married to another man already? Kenzo if she gets married to another man I don't know what I will do." "What do you mean by you don't know what to do if she gets married to another man? Will you just let them happy because you don't know what to do? " Don't tell me you have started having a soft spot because if eventually is true then am sorry you won't be able to get what you want. Or is it that woman who is making you be like this?"

After they were done eating Zita decided to clear the table while Arianna and Stephanie walk to one of the coaches and sat down while facing Paul.What brings you to our house very early in the morning? I thought you will be coming in the afternoon. Arianna asked paul. And at that moment Zita joins them in the seating room."Ms. Tessa I came this early to check if you and your sisters need me to help with anything and also about the site-seeing we talked about.Ohh, that!

It was morning when Arianna's phone alarm started ringing. She stretched her hand and turned off the alarm and continued sleeping for some time before finally getting up from the bed."What a long night," Arianna said while taking her phone to check the time and it was 7:30 am. I think I should call my mom and siblings now. She dialed her mother's number and within no time the phone was answered by her mother." Thank God you called sweetheart, I have been waiting for you. How was your flight? Have you eaten breakfast? Do you have any problems after the flight? How is the baby? Arianna's mother asked the moment she picked up the call." Mom, calm down, there are so many questions you have asked in one goal.""Sorry dear, I was worried sick about you and your friends and I asked you, brother, to call yesterday but your number was not available." Mom we are all fine and the flight was good and my baby is good. Sorry I couldn't answer your calls because we were on the plane and our pho
Subsequently, about 12 hours of traveling by air from city T to Cameroon. We can't even count the number of hours we sleep on the plane and also the type of things we have eaten on the plane before we sleep again. This time we woke up when we heard the announcement from the pilot informing the passengers that we are at the Cameroon airport which means that we have finally reached our destination. I got to look left and right seeing people arranging their bodies and when I looked out the window we were no more in the air which means we have truly gotten to our destination. After some time people started leaving the plane and that was when I tapped Stephanie and Zita who was still sleeping when they got up I told them we had reached our destination. They both stood up and we walked out of the plane. When we were off the plane we walk to where we will get our bags and after taking our bags we all walked out of the airport through the Receiving area and stood there why I open my phone s
