All Chapters of The Lovely Loner: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Getting to extrance of the airport, the eerie feeling of déjà vu got Ann and it hit her had like a brick. Standing still in front of the airport, she remembered how she passed through those same extrance of the airport feeling so lost, dejected and a no body to relay on. She went through all that but returned proud, fulfilled, happy, wealthy, a mother entitled and that meant everything to her. She could see the reflection of her former self in the windows as if a vision passing by in a flash, she could still remember distinctly, the betrayal she felt, her anger, her pain and her tears but that also made her swear revenge on that man and that woman. That swore revenge in the past was the main reason she returned to the country aside feeling homesick all this while and wanting to show her babies their home country. She clearly remembered her disarrayed appearance when she finally made it to the airport that day.Lost in her thought and anguish, her hands were unconsciously clenched into

Just when they reached the right corner at the far end of the washroom, where they will appear well hidden from the wondering eyes of many, Ann leaned on the wall and sighed in relieve. Her heart was palpitating hard and her hands sweating profusely, what she just went through was a bit traumatic for her. She jumped up immediately and her eyes wide open, as if remembering something very important, she turned sharply to Judith and asked,” who-who is he?, who is this Rex Radford?”.Judith stood there frozen for a while, too surprise to alter a word. After a while and a lot of blinking she turned her attention to the expectant Ann and spoke slowly to her as if talking to a child, “ what? You-you mean to tell me that you had no idea who Rex Radford was and you choose to disgraced him like that? oh my gosh! Oh! Oh my gosh! Of-of cos you don’t know him, why did I follow you blindly? Oh! Oh! I should have warned you but when I saw him smiling and approaching us like in the movies, I was mesme

Judith rolled her eyes with a playful smile on her face before it quickly turned into a look of concern.“Ooh Ann! I don’t want to get you angry or sad right now but the rumors and stories are bad. Every hierarchy had their own version of the stories, each gets worse from the previous ones I heard. I don’t think I should even be telling you this.” Judith stated as if in a deep thought and nodded her head quickly to herself, knowing she made the best decision for herself. Ann rolled her eyes at her and pouted. Rolling her eyes was die hard habit of hers whenever she’s in deep thought, nervous, anxious or angry but in this case it’s was for the anxiety of the unknown. “Stop over reacting Jud, I won’t die from hearing what others think about me and don’t forget I’m not weak either. There are just rumors with no truth in them, c’mon you can tell me”, Ann reassured her.Judith smacked her lips loudly, she knew it was no use to deny her request. Whenever Judith wants to know something or wa

Ann stood frozen in fear and the can of soda fell on the ground in shock,”did-did-did he mention my middle name?”. Ann stuttered the question to Peter.Peter’s glare at the wall behind her, accompanied with his silence and her rude colleague’s giggle gave her the answers to her questions. Indeed, the man knew her middle name as well. She gasped dramatically and flinched as if she was pinched into reality.Her colleague, Diana having thought of all the times Peter turned down her advances, decided it was the perfect time to pay Ann back.“Adorabele has a nice ring to it, it is truly a very a nice and adorable middle name Ann. I sincerely don’t know why you hate it so much.” Diana taunted. Ann shivered slightly and her fingers coiled in a tight fist. Although Diana taunted her with a warm and lovely look, she was sneering and laughing loudly within but her joy was short lived as Ann turned around quickly and pinned her to the pillar behind them. With a glare and gritted teeth,”if I eve

Going to school the next day wasn’t as difficult as the previous day for Ann, she woke up about thirty whole minutes before her usual time, she was feeling very refreshed and excited for the new day. Dressing up for school took about five minutes after taking her bath as she usually dresses up in the first bagging trousers and shirt she laid her hands on. Eating some cereals with milk, she took an apple from the old fridge and headed to the bus stop. Today happened to be one of the few days she was on time for the bus and arrived to campus too no time. She stood in front of the gate for a long time, hiding behind pillars watching more students arriving at the campus.Finally mastering some courage, she left her hiding place and made it to the entrance of the campus. The hallway was choked with numerous students and they have already started discussing her, they’ve all heard one or more stories going around the campus about her. She clenched her jaw hard to stop herself from reacting we
