1: Feelings

And you make me feel like I’m out of my mind, but it’s alright. (it’s alright)Nothing ever gets me high like thisI pick my poison and it’s youNothing can kill me like you do.Rita Ora - Poison Estelle Bigg’s POV“The countdown has begun, Elle!” Darcy Khan, my roommate and close friend announced, stepping into the lecture hall. Her high-pitched Indian accent gave a sweet melody to the words she just said as she approached the desk I sat on. She slammed her heavy textbook on my desk and caused a bang. A few heads of the students also in the hall turned in our direction, but she paid them no mind and kept her attention on me.I glance up at her and found her beaming. I knew her words were aimed at me because I had wearied her about my desire to go home in the last month and I ticked the calendar every day as a way to encourage myself. “I can’t wait,” I admitted, releasing a deep sigh."Are you ready for it?" It was the last week of the second semester and it was also the last week of

2: Contentment

Six days later,I released a deep sigh as I stepped out of the examination hall, knowing that I was done with my third-year exams. My first instinct was to call Lyon and tell him I was done and taking the afternoon flight like I had already planned, but telling him I had completed my exam would leave him in an expectant mood, which might disrupt his ability to work with a straight mind.It would be my first time, but I was going to leave without informing him of my departure just to surprise him. I had spent three months in Oxford, and I couldn’t wait to get home. Also, I couldn’t wait to see the look that would be on his face when he saw me in a few hours.I grabbed my bag and turned to see Darcy at the door. I saw the bittersweet expression on her face as she stared at me, and the excitement I had on my face decreased.“Sorry, I do not mean to ruin your excitement.” She said this, her eyes dropping. She had also packed up her bags and would leave with the six a.m. flight tomorrow, bu

3: Chills

After a five-hour flight in turbulent weather, we arrived in Lagos safely, and I headed for Banana Island, where I lived with Lyon. On my arrival, I saw how the workers and maids warmly welcomed me, and it warmed my heart. It was a Friday, and so I expected Lyon to finish work earlier, but Yao, his driver, informed me of an ongoing deal at work, which was still ongoing.He asked if I wanted to wait for them to finish and come home, but I had travelled seven hours to surprise him, and I knew I didn’t have the patience to wait.“Take me to him,” I said, and his brow narrowed at me.“You just got back and still look stressed out. Are you sure you don’t want to wait for him?”I nodded in agreement. “I know, but patience has never been my strongest virtue.”He knew that, and a few scars I had since childhood attested to the fact. “Alright then, let me grab the keys.” He said this and departed from the living room.Two minutes later, he returned and nodded at me. I fell in line with him, and

4: Reasons

Father talked all the way home; he was trying to feed me with all the important stuff he believed I had missed in the last two years of being away from school. I didn’t mind; I wanted to hear all the petty gossip, and I missed our little talks all the while I was away.“So, what about you? Any boyfriend I should be sharpening my boots and preparing for?” He cocked his full brow at me.I chuckled and rolled my eyes. “I wish.”“Why do you wish? You are a beautiful young lady, and let’s not forget that you are smart. These are all qualities you inherited from your old man. You’re welcome. You should have men swooning and fighting each other over who will take you.”I laughed harder, covering my mouth because my laughter was turning ugly. “I wish that was the case.” I said this after my laughter subsided.“Or are the men at Oxford blind or retarded?”They weren’t; I was messed up in the head.I had a boyfriend at the university after I started, but I knew it was a mere distraction, which w

5: Poison

I moaned out as his lips met the space where my shoulder and neck met, and he nibbled on it. I squirmed and twirled under him, grinding my hips and upper body against him for friction.“Oh fuck, fuck...” I gasped as his fingers applied pressure on my swollen clit, rubbing me with a sure touch while thrusting into me. “Jace...” I breathed, opening my eyes, which were glazed with lust, to gaze up into the intense amber eyes above me.“Let go, baby,” Jace whispered as he rocked his lower body, plunging into me faster, deeper, and harder. His thrusts grew more frantic. His compelling eyes, which were dilated from breath-stealing bliss, never left my lust-filled eyes even once. “Come for me.”My eyes snapped open, and I turned around in bed, coiling myself into a ball. This wasn’t the first time I’d seen Jace in a dream. Nor was this the first time he had touched me and had his way with me. It started when I was seventeen, and it has integrated since then. Now, I see him at least three time

6: Hell

My heart skipped a beat at the sight of them as they walked into the restaurant.Jace was the only man who made me feel like I wasn’t enough, and the worst thing was that he didn’t use his mouth to say those words. How could I fault him, though? He had no idea how I felt about him and might never know.The lady he had beside him was tall, had long hair, and had an hourglass body like the one the model on the magazine cover had. Standing beside him, she complimented him in every way.Jace had always had a thing for the model type. I would know. I watched the ring of women he kept around him throughout the years I’ve known him. Janet, his late wife, was a top model in the country.However, unlike Janet, who had brunette hair, this lady he now held in his arms had blonde hair, and she had a charming smile on her face. Her face was as red as tomatoes, and she was trying not to give too much away. I couldn’t fault her for the lack of control she had over her emotions. I would be the same ar

7: Heartbreak

My clinical training would begin this week at St. Louis Hospital, the only hospital affiliated with the University of Oxford in the state, and for the next eight weeks, I would learn and work three days a week. At the end of the eight weeks, I will receive a report on my performance, which I will take to the university, and my grade will be recorded. I discussed this with Lyon, and he agreed that his driver, Yao, would bring me over for affirmation today. I came in to meet with the head surgeon at the hospital, Dr Julian Bassey. I submitted the written consent given by the university, which I was to deliver to him. It was a request to train at the hospital for the next eight weeks. Dr. Julian had no issue with it because I wasn’t the first student to undergo training at the hospital. He welcomed me on board and shared a few working ethics and conditions with me. I had done my research last night, so I wouldn’t come in wanting. St. Louis Hospital was founded over seventy years ago an

8: Love

His voice came out calm and kind, if such things existed.I still harboured a grudge against him for what he said and what he called me. He was the architect of this whole drama, and I was mad at him. I knew that, unlike Lyon, I couldn’t stay mad at this man for long.“What do you want?” I asked, and my voice came out snappy.“You know what I want.”I know what I wish you’d want, but that is not the issue at hand.“I do not wish to see you or speak to you or Dad, so go away now. I would like to be alone,” I answered.“I can’t do that. I can’t leave while you are angry and hurting because of me,” he said. I’d never seen Jace bothered about anything before, but he spoke now, and I knew he was bothered.He should. He called me a mishap!“Please, let me in. I need to see you and talk to you,” he said, his pleading voice coming through and weakening my body. I found myself wanting to let him in, to let him see me. I wanted to see him and his face. If he hadn’t said the things he said earlie

9: Natural

I reported to the hospital at seven a.m., as instructed by Dr Julian, and I was expected to close at six p.m., which was the same time I spent at clinical while training at Oxford last year. With my four days on, I could actively manage my time. It was my first day at the clinicals, and falling in line and getting along wasn’t difficult since I have also done my last two clinicals in Oxford. It was like a continuation of where I last stopped.I spent the first hour of resuming work, getting to know the other medical student training on the clinical. Kenneth Jackson, Drew Daramola, Nnaji Smith, and Idara Young: I knew Ken and Idara from Oxford University, but the other three I didn’t know. Despite knowing Ken and Idara in my department, I was never friends with them. Perhaps that would all change while we trained here, or not. I would never know.I also learnt we all resumed today and the hospital would no longer accept any more letters of recommendation. Training would begin, and no on

10: Boyfriend

I held onto him like he instructed, and he drove me for all the minutes that took us home. Because of his speed and his manoeuvring on the road, we arrived in sixteen minutes. The gates of my house opened to us, and we drove in. I hugged him, told him the second thank you, and then invited him inside, which I had never done since we had been friends in secondary school. We always parted ways at the gates, and he had never entered before, so it was the first. Jordan stayed silent, obviously weighing his options and having the same thoughts as me. Finally, he nodded. If I had seen ahead, I would have prevented the embarrassment that waited for me on the inside by not inviting Jordan in somehow. I didn’t expect it, so I couldn’t prevent it. “There is my favourite grandbaby.” I heard the voice of Augusta Biggs, my grandmother, squealing from the dining area as I stepped into the living room with Jordan. I halted, surprised at their presence, then remembered that Lyon had spoken about h
