Lahat ng Kabanata ng OBSESSED WITH MY DAD'S BEST FRIEND : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

ReneeI mentally rolled my eyes when I realized it was Ivor calling, wondering what he wanted again.I picked, saying. “Hello.”“petals, how are you doing?” Was his response.His voice sounded strained and more deep than I have ever heard. I had to take the phone and put it on speaker because I couldn't explain what it was doing to me just from hearing it.“I am fine.” I managed to say.“That's good.” He went silent for a while before he talked. “Jerome called.” He informed me.“What? Dad? When? What does he want?” I asked, pretending not to know why Dad called him.“He asked me to let you stay for the duration of your study so I wanted to know if you are okay with it since he told me you said no.” He said.“Uhm, yes. I already said yes to them.” I told him, not exactly getting where this conversation was going.And why he felt the need to call me to confirm and then it clicked.“I get it now. You are worried that I will create problems for you and your girlfriend.” I said bitterly.

Ivor “The number you dial is not reachable. Please leave a voicemail.” The annoying voice bot said for the umpteenth time, making me slam my fist in frustration.‘Where could she be?’ I wondered out loud.I am currently at the office trying to reach Renee but her number keeps going into voicemail.After my phone call with her three weeks ago, she told me not to pick her up but I still had it in mind to surprise her.Monica had gotten me her schedule for the remaining semesters she has left in the school. Their exams ended two days ago and I just realized it.I expected to have gotten a call from her but didn't get any. I decided to call in the student affairs. “Good morning,” I said in a professional voice after the person picked.“Yes, good morning. How may I help you?” she said.“My name is Ivor Walker. Renee Morse guardian. I am calling to inquire about her. She finished her exams two days ago and she's not back home yet.” I replied, in a polite monotone voice.“Renee Morse? Pleas

Renee Timothy told me Ivor was going on a business trip when he didn't come home and I was tired of waiting, checking the time, and also my eyes glued to the front door.Emma suggested I go to sleep but I refused because I wanted to see him before going to bed.I was surprised when I came down for breakfast and met him seated comfortably on the dining chair, having breakfast.My face lit up immediately, I ran at full speed, landing on his lap and almost knocking him down but he held me and supported himself by grabbing the table like the strong man he is.“Wow,” he said, looking at my face, his chin splitting up in a grin. “ This is not the face I expected today.” I pouted, wrapping both my arms around me and going to stand up but he pushed me down making me roll my eyes.“Woah, easy there petals. Put back the claws, I was just joking but on a serious note — I thought you'd still be angry like yesterday.” “Why do you want me to still be angry?” I got into his face like I was searchi

ReneeWe are in the car now and Ivor is driving aimlessly around, the silence in the car is killing me but I don't know what to say and I was dying to ask where he's taking me.“Where are we going? You are just driving with no direction.” I turned to look at him, waiting for a reply.“You'll see.” Same answer, he knows how I hate it when he gives me short, vague answers.The smile tugged at the corner of his lips made me realize he was trying to get under my skin.But it's not going to work. I balanced on the seat — planning on taking a nap before he decided where he wanted to go.I guess I slept off pretty fast because the next thing I felt was a hand drawing circles on my bare shoulder.“Wake up, sleepy head, we are here.” Ivor's voice whispered, his warm minty breath leaving goosebumps on my skin.“Oww, five more minutes,” I whined, desperately wanting to go back to sleep.“No, we will be late. Unless you don't want us to get tickets.” He tugged my hand.My eyes opened a little, as

Renee“Hey, you can't lock me in here. Let me out.” I kept banging the door till my fist hurt but the guards didn't even spare me a glance.Just completely still like a robot. They weren't moving.The door was transparent and the shadows could be seen.I huff and puff but there was literally nothing I could do. My fault was telling him that I was leaving — shouldn't have done that.And I don't know who the guards are as I can't see their faces but let me try my luck.“Please open the door. I am not trying to leave. I just need to talk to any of you.” I pleaded with a loud voice.They glanced at each other like they were having a silent conversation before one of them shook their head. “No, we can't do that. The boss will have our head.”It was either Esteban or Matty that spoke. I know because they were the twins Ivor recruited recently and Emma introduced them to me.I see what he did there, he knows I will try to buy my way out with the old guards so he brought the new ones — think
