After his threat, he began to type something into his phone. Boma looked away from him and kept her gaze out of the window. She tried to distract her fears with the sight of pedestrians going about their business but it didn't work. Her mind stayed on her troubles.She was afraid of being claimed by him in the most formal way. She didn't want to be engaged to him, talk less of getting married to him.Maybe if he was gentle and she had met him as a gentle guy, she would have agreed but unfortunately, the opposite was her reality. For that cause, she was even more determined to escape him.She concentrated on her plans, allowing the thought of freedom to calm her down. These days, it was the only thought that calmed her down. She was so grateful to God that she met Fidelis. The irony of it all was that Fidelis was related to Donovan. She still marvelled at the coincidence sometimes.She hoped as Fidelis had suggested that once Donovan discovered she was gone, he would find someone else

Boma was left with no choice other than to endure the intimate moment. Endurance slowly gave way to weakness and acceptance.From acceptance, tiny jolts of desire began to spring forth as his lips kept caressing hers and his hands began to softly glide over her back. He broke the kiss instantly and stared into her lightly dazed eyes. Then he smirked at her and took her hands gently in his. She was still staring at him, surprised by the sudden truncation."You don't want my touch in the first place, so breaking it off unexpectedly is kind of my revenge."Boma felt conflicted about his actions. On one hand, she was drawn to him as the sensual feelings he stirred began to overwhelm her. On the other hand, she was grateful for the interruption. She knew she shouldn't enjoy his touch—that was the right thing.Donovan observed her expression. She looked anxious. He wanted her to relax."I will leave you to get acquainted with your new home." he said, dipping a hand into his pocket and retrie

“Boma paused, her heart beginning to waver. "You said that- that sleep overs were allowed.""I said that sleep overs were allowed but next time, I would rather you let me know you have someone over. I don't like surprises. What if I wanted to stay the night?" She paused, frozen. When he chuckled, she started to relax, realizing he might be teasing her."Relax." he said, I was just playing with you. Enjoy the rest of the evening and I will see you tomorrow."Boma was relieved. She didn't know he could be playful. She smiled a little as she responded. "Thank you. Bye." She then glanced at Hilda, who shrugged and said, "You two would have been good together," before turning and heading inside the house. Boma stood there, astonished.FEW HOURS LATERFriday evening had arrived, and by 7:30 p.m., the last light of day had faded, ushering in the night.Wilberforce Island University was alive with a flurry of night life. Some students were leaving the island for the city while some that rema

With Donovan's attention currently fixed on his friend, Boma willed her mind to stay strong and her brain to come up with a quick solution. She knew if Donovan found out, she would be in serious trouble. He would crucify her. She could already feel his hand tightening around her wrist as he stared at his friend expectantly. Tension steadily rose in the air.Boma struggled to battle her panic attack. She had come too far to have everything destroyed in so swift a moment. She fervently prayed in her heart for a miracle. Standing there beside Donovan, she fixed her eyes on his friend with thoughts of hope. It had suddenly dawned on her that he might just be the solution to her problem. She silently willed him to meet her eyes.Boma widened her eyes, staring intently at him so he would notice that she needed his attention. Her heart was slamming against her ribcage as she waited. The seconds of waiting time were starting to feel like a century. She could hardly breathe from relief when h

Their journey began early. As arranged, Donovan arrived around 7:00am with Standfast driving. They picked her up and she sat together with Donovan in the backseat.She inquired of Phillip and Donovan explained he was already at the ship ensuring their arrangement was not tampered with.They reached the island docks littered with canoes, speedboats and few yachts. She noticed a bland ship being boarded by students and her face fell. It wasn't what she expected."There is your titanic." Donovan said knowingly. "You wanted it. I warned you."The Titanic looked like nothing more than a large boat made of sticks with a zinc roof, appearing almost handmade by locals. From where she was, she could see passengers spreading mats in a corner to sit on, with the view outside visible through the boat’s interior.She concluded that it was merely a hall on a ship with open windows, where passengers stayed in their own corners. She looked up at Donovan, who had turned his attention to her. He always

Donovan traced his finger lightly along her jawline. She stared at him with wide, wild eyes. Then he smiled. "Look at her face, so nervous. Don’t worry, I won’t touch you, okay? I was just kidding." He backed away from her. "Enjoy the sail. I want a nap."She started to relax and he smirked at her knowingly. Then he turned away from her and returned to the bed. Boma watched him flop onto the bed, shutting his eyes and letting her be.She stood by the window, her eyes wide with wonder as she gazed out at the serene lake. She stayed by the window for a while, enjoying the peaceful scenery of nature.She could already hear the call of freedom. Her face lit up with a radiant smile at the thought of it. Her hair fluttered gently in the breeze. She watched the ripples on the water as the ship glided smoothly, feeling a sense of tranquility and adventure all at once.The beauty of the creeks captivated her, and she couldn't tear her gaze away from the picturesque scene unfolding beyond her

Boma sat nervously, her fingers trembling as she stared at her phone. As the screen continued to display Donovan's incoming call, she hesitated, her heart pounding with fear. She didn't want him to know where she was, fearing his reaction. With each passing second, the weight of her decision grew heavier, torn between answering and risking his anger or ignoring it and facing the consequences later.Maybe there won't be a later, she thought. She was gone from him and gone for good. That was her hope. Yet, she was petrified."Why aren't you answering?" Fidelis asked."It's Donovan. He is supposed to pick me up today for school.""Hmm. Well, you can't take the call.""I know, but I'm scared. He doesn't like missed calls.""Is your location on?""I turned it off this morning.""That was smart of you.""Thanks. But he wants my location on all the time.""Ok. Take the call and tell him you're home.""Then you have to stop driving.""Okay."Fidelis slowed down the car and parked by the curb

Inside a bedroom in Ronald's mansion, Donovan was finished dressing up in a smart outfit before the mirror. An SMS buzzed his phone and upon checking, he saw it was from Boma. He opened it and paused as his eyes took in the content. He refused to believe what he was reading.His brooding dominance surfaced in the aftermath of taking in the message. His forest eyes, usually filled with resolve, faltered as he took in the message again: ‘It's over between Us. Do not bother looking for me.’A tempest of fury surged within Donovan, an emotion he had rarely allowed himself to acknowledge. His grip on the phone tightened, and a sinister fire danced in his eyes. He had always been the master of his domain, a ruler of hearts, and this abrupt act of defiance threatened to shatter the very foundation of his dominance.The walls of his room in Ronald's house, an opulent sanctuary, once symbols of his peace, seemed to close in on him, echoing the turmoil in his heart. This wasn't a challenge he

Boma's call went unanswered. She dialed the number once more, but the outcome remained unchanged.Restless, she chose to make her way back home and persist with her attempts. Upon reaching her room, she settled at her reading desk, poised to retry when her father's call came through."Hello, Papa," she greeted."I have wonderful news," he exclaimed.Boma was curious but managed to stay focused, pausing her thoughts on her friend's well-being for the time being."I can't wait to hear it," she replied, maintaining an enthusiastic tone to not dull his happiness."Do you remember the Permanent Secretary position I used to talk about?"Boma recalled."Yes," she replied. "And I know you decided not to let it bother you anymore.""That's right, but I've been shortlisted for it," he proudly announced.Boma froze, realizing Donovan's influence might be behind it. Why would he continue helping her father when he knew she was no longer involved with him?"That was since last week. I didn't want t

She was supposed to leave school the previous day but after learning of an impromptu test, she had to stay back.She had made the difficult decision to leave the school behind, if only for a while, to escape the tangled web of secrets and fear that had ensnared her.
