I resumed Dillard after my boring days at home. It was beautiful. I took a walk around the school premises, taking in the view. My first class is in less than twenty minutes and I don't even know my class.
" Riley!" A female voice called.
I turned around to look for who called my name and saw Bethany walking to where I was.
" Hey." She greeted me.
" Hi. I wasn't expecting you at all." She added.
" Me neither. Nice to know that I'm not stranded." I said on our way to God knows where.
" What's your major?" She asked.
" Business." I answered and Bethany nodded.
" Martha is here too. She's in sophomore year and in research department."
" Whoa. The horrible bitch." I blurted.
" It seems you don't like her."
" I didn't say that, she's just too forward and a little rude."
" I guess. " She said and laughed.
" First year is always horrib
I was at the back of the car alone as usual. Aiden was at the front with the driver. I sighed continually because I was getting to ride with this trouble in disguise. My subconscious instructed I apologise but I quickly decline." I owe no man apologies." I thought. The ride was so boring, I almost changed my mind. I looked outside the car window and it was really busy. Chris packed the car in the lot and I came down , Aiden didn't." I'll stay here. You don't mind causing trouble." He said without looking at me." Cool , suit yourself." I said and walked out. I tried to catch my breath as I majestically walked into the school premise. It was.. God, just like matric. I was stranded , cause everyone has a pair. I grabbed a drink and went to find a seat. . " Oh Bethany." I mutter, looking around. If I stay here alone all by
I staggered to the living room devastated. Some jerk just burned my night. I saw dad with a lady talking and well... laughing a bit. And she was touching him, while pretending to dust something off his shirt." Hi Riley." Dad said and hugged me." Hi Dad." I said and turned to look at the lady." Who's she?" I whispered." Ohh.. Helen, this is my daughter Riley, Riley, meet Helen." dad introduced." Hey Riley." she said and smiled. I didn't smile back." Are you my dad's girlfriend?" I asked and she frowned a bit, looking at my dad." Okay honey, you're just coming back from a dance and you need to get some sleep for tomorrow's class." Dad said holding my arm." I'm not sleepy." I said removing my dad's hand and turned to look at Helen." Look, my dad's married and not divorced, he loves his wife and they are happy together. Just felt like dropping the message." I said
Aiden sighed and turned to look at Lauren who was dumb founded." I won't tell anyone, don't panic yet." I said and smiled at them." That's not funny Riley. It's not like we had sex." Lauren cut in." I'll be waiting downstairs." I said and walked out. Crazy adults. Only God knows what they were doing. Lauren is almost half dressed like someone who was ripped off aggressively. And Aiden who looks so uncomfortable like someone who was forced by Lauren. Jeez it was so obvious, who knew Lauren was going bananas for Aiden all these while? Who cares? Forced or not, they kissed. I sat down on the floor and hummed to the music coming out of my ear buds." We'll talk later, Aiden. Stay safe." She said and walked out. Aiden sighed and turned to look at me. He sat down opposite me and refused to say a word." You shouldn't be shy." I began as I tried not to giggle. Aiden glared at m
I woke up that morning really tired. After freshening up, I rushed downstairs to eat breakfast and saw Helen and a strange guy." Good morning Helen." I was surprised." Morning Riley." She replied and smiled." Are you surprised honey?" Dad asked and pulled me to him." I guess. Who's the other guy?" I whispered to my dad." Well this is my husband Elvis. We are back together." She said and the guy kissed her." Right." I muttered." You know I thought I'd lost my husband when he filed for a divorce. I told your dad and he decided to help me. I wasn't dating your father at all."" Yeah about that…" I scratched the back of my head and cleared my throat. " I'm truly sorry about how I reacted. I guess I was too forward and a little mean, rude?"" Not really. I truly liked it and I would want my daughter to be like you. Protective and fierce." Helen said and they chuckle
I open my eyes and it's morning. Isla lay next to me, naked and cuddling me. I look over at her and she looks pretty with her bed hair. My phone dinged in the silence of her room and I grabbed it. A message from Dad and ten missed calls. Shit!I didn't call or text Dad I won't be coming home until later. In fact I didn't know I would spend the night. I hurriedly got up and rushed to shower in Isla's bathroom. I got dressed and gently tapped her. She opened her eyes and yawned, smiling at me." Hey princess, ready to go?'' she asked.'' Yeah. See you later."" Alright, be careful." She said and I rushed out. I took a cab and went home. Dad must have left for work cause everywhere was a bit quiet." Riley." Maria, the cook called." Hi, good morning." I greeted her smiling." Your dad's out. He was a bit w
I got home that day and angrily threw my bag on the floor and slump on the living room couch." I hate her." I muttered to myself." Of course she hates me too." I said to myself and sighed. I saw dad climb down the stairs. He stopped and stared down at me." Riley." Dad called and smiled at me." Chill out kiddo. He told me but it's temporary." Dad said climbing down." Does that even matter?" I asked." Maybe. He said you need to work on your temper. It's a bit too high. You're gonna kill someone one day with your bad girl attitude." Dad said and I sighed." She started it. She was really mean. Stupid white hoe." I muttered." Ri, Is she your school rival?"" For now, yup."" Hmm. Fighting over a man?" Dad asked and sat down." That's the least I could do. I can't fight for a stupid man."" Yeah maybe when love decide to t
I sighed and sat down close to the swimming pool. Bethany rushed to meet me and sat close to me." You don't have to think about Martha." Bethany said." Do you have to invite her?"" Well, I don't really know." She said and sighed." There is this dude I met , he said his name is Miles."" Miles?" Bethany asked and I nodded." I've never met him before."" Beth, he is at your party." I said, blinking my lashes." So what's up with him? Is he cute? Handsome? Charming? Oh, or maybe hot?" Bethany asked, grinning." He's strange." I said softly and sighed." How strange?"" Never mind , maybe you won't understand." I said and sighed deeply. I was still bothered about the spark , that wasn't something natural. There was more to it. I turned to look at Bethany who was lost in staring at me awkwardly." Have you heard about sparks between two people who held hands? I mean like a
I opened my eyes and got up immediately. I checked my injury and it was bandaged. I sighed and thought about the incident, Martha will eventually pay. I looked around. I was in our school health center. Bethany walked in with a nurse. She smiled at me and hugged me." Thank God you're okay."" The knife was poisoned." The nurse said." Poisoned?"" Yeah, but you'll be fine. You just need to be careful next time." The nurse said and walked out." What's up with Martha?" I asked." Well, she's popular in school and has big connections, but the school authority said nothing about it."" She's definitely gonna pay."" You wanna fight with her again?"" I don't know." I said and relaxed my back on the bed." Maybe you should forget about it
I gave sharron's head to Elna. She smiled and hugged me firmly." It's over I guess." I said and Elna smiled nodding." I'm proud of you."I smiled and she hugged me again." Everyone around here hates Sharron. She's a bad seed born out of hatred and anger." Elna said." I'm giving her head to the church. They will keep it in a safe place and bury her somewhere sacred. Her body will be buried separately under the sea ." Elna said." Thanks Elna."" And thanks to you." She said and hugged me again.
I struggled to move but I couldn't. I open my eyes only for me to see a strange woman sitting next to me with her eyes closed.She said an incantation like prayers and sprinkled a kinda dark water on my body. It felt like a hot liquid when it touched my skin. I screamed and tried to move , but I couldn't.I remembered sharron paralyzed me but who's this strange woman ? She continued to sprinkle the water on my body as I screamed loudly. I jerked at once and threw up on the floor.I stare at the insect that I just puked out as it disappeared. I turned slowly to look at this strange woman, she smiled at me and I smirked.
I gulped and thought of an idea. I really don't know why I'm being attacked and I really don't care. I took to my heels and followed a narrow path.I saw a dart flew through my face and pin to the wall. I took it and hid in a corner. My heart was racing , someone wanted to kill me and I had this crazy feeling it was Sharron." I think she's here." A heard their voice.I kept quiet and took out my pocket knife." Check there , while I check the other side."I stayed quiet and saw one of them. He proceeded to shoot but I was faster. I punched hi
~ AIDEN~I let Zoe in as she stride in staring around. She smiled and I gestured to her to sit." So ?" I asked." Be a gentleman for once. Congratulations anyways."" For ?"" Your relationship." She said and winked." Zoe, what do you wanna talk about ?"" So many things." She said." Your father is back." She spat out.
RILEY'S POVI sob silently and threw the pregnancy test kit aside. I lean against the bathroom wall and try hard not to cry.I called Aria and she picked up." Hi bestie."" Hey.." I said." What's up with you ?" She asked and I kept quiet staring down at the floor." I'm not fine."" What happened ?"" Ria , I'm pregnant."
~ AIDEN~It's so terrible when Riley's mad at me , it's so painful. After that kiss , she refused sparing me glances and she pretended she's fine with it.I thought about what Valerie said about the baby and being a father. That's my worst fear , I really don't want a child. Not now , I feared being a father and it's so terrifying.We threw a big bag on the table filled with different types of guns. Valerie opened it and smiled." Can I ask a question ?" Bethany asked Valerie." Lemme hear it."&
CHAPTER 57| PREGNANT★ AIDEN★Riley fell to the floor unconscious and I had to quickly carry her. Bethany and I walked out of the palace and she was crying endlessly.That feeling of losing someone you love is so painful." Just calm down." I said still carrying Riley." I can't..."" We'll visit a witch. It's just temporary I guess."She sniffed and smiled, nodding like a c
THIRD PERSON'S POVElizabeth walked into the palace hallway accompanied by Shantel , Solange and Sharron." An intruder." A guard shouted.She snapped her finger at him and he turned to stone." My husband." Elizabeth said, smiling at the king Spencer sitting on his throne." 23 years , do you even remember me ?" Elizabeth asked.The guards proceed to attack but Sharron turns them to stone. Reneè was forced to stand up including her husband."
" Are you okay ?" Aiden asked.I blinked my lashes and frowned. Was I day dreaming?" Fuck..." I muttered touching my neck.That's my last wish. Someone turned me into a vampire. Over my living body." What were you thinking?" Aiden asked." Nothing." I lied." Stop lying."" I'm not..."" Wait lemme guess. You thought I wanted to turn you into my kind." He said and I groaned.
