Chapter 43.Suspended and fired.Adrian's POV.I got to the boardroom and for the first time in my life, I came face-to-face with the owner of the four corners of the school and the directors. My legal advisor too was present, and he had a disappointed look which gave me some chills that I messed up. I didn't know what to say when I stood before them, so I just waited and allowed them to do the talking. "Watch this!" One of the directors' voices rang around the school and I shivered.I turned to the big projector behind me and what I saw there got me frozen. It was a video of me, kissing Raphael in the library. It happened just yesterday and I quivered. Someone must have sneaked on us and taken that video without us noticing, and now, what I was avoiding was happening."What do you have to say about this? Or should I ask you, what do you think this implies?" I didn't know who said it, I couldn't turn to them, my eyes were glued to the projector even after the video, and I was staring
Chapter 44.I'm still her lecturer.Raphael's POV.I was so happy to be fired from the school, I was even looking for a way to get away from there at first because I could not stay in the school and pretend as if I didn't know Adrian. I know that I couldn't do that, sooner or later, we would be detected and I was happy we were detected this soon. Though Adrian was suspended, it was worth it, I had even pleaded guilty, and I still remember what I told the deen and the rest, "Adrian Williams is a girl that caught my attention and I made sure to seduce her. It was hard to get her to kiss me but I eventually did and I don't regret it."And the Vice Counsellor had shouted, "You're fired!"Every time I remember that, I always feel happy and proud of myself, I was happily defending my love for Adrian which got me fired, but I'm sure if they knew who I was, they would have helped me to organize a bigger party where I would be able to shout it to the whole world that I love her.I was still wa
Chapter 1. An attempt to save a drunk man. Adrian's pov. It was a bright morning and I scurried out of my room as I wore my clothing, I was in such a hurry not to miss my literature lecture that morning, as I was lagging in the course badly and my final examination was coming soon, I didn't want to cry a bitter tear and stay an extra year in the school. "Mom! I'm off to school!" My voice rang all around the less wealthy home I lived in with my mom and brother. Though our house was less wealthy, it had modesty, humbleness, and love in it. Even though the house was smaller and needed some repairs like the linking roof, and it also didn't have all the latest conveniences, that doesn't mean it's not filled with love and comfort. It was way cozier and more inviting for us since we had each other's back in everything. I am Adrian Williams, a 21-year-old white-skinned lady, people say that I am beautiful, but who cares about that when all I wanted and needed presently was money to foot
Chapter 2. What will I look like, as a lecturer? Raphael O'Neill's POV. I sat still on the floor in shock as I looked at my savior who was also on the floor beside me, she was not moving, and I felt my heart skipping a beat. "Is she dead?" I wondered. I crawled closer to her with my eyes already cleared from the intoxicating wine I drank, I was already sober. "Girl, hey!" I called out. I withdrew, staring at her with bug-out eyes, now in astonishment, I was sure that the car never hit her, the driver must be a good driver as he had diverted the car to the other side of the road just in time and we escaped him. I only managed to snatch out of shock and took a chill pill when the lady jolted to her feet. "Are you okay?" She questioned me, then she helped me up to my feet. I was unable to answer her as my eyes were glued to the beauty in front of me. Her face was not visible when she was on the floor, but when she raised her head, my thoughts suddenly became messed up with just the
Chapter 3. Our new lecturer. Adrian pov. It was a Monday morning, I was dressing up in my small, and poorly furnished room, whose painting on the walls was already peeling. The room had stained and worn-out linoleum floors, and it had a few pieces of furniture, which were just my wooden bed reading table, and chair, the room was filled with the smell of cheap detergent. The lighting was a harsh fluorescent which was almost broken as cracks were obvious around it. I tried to make the room look better by adding a few decorations around it and covering the windows in cheap linens, which added a little bit of beauty to the room also, I made the room so neat. I finished dressing up and left my room to the mini dining room, which had just four wooden chairs neatly arranged around a cracked and crippled dinner table in the dining room and a few dishes were placed on the table. Mom was already seated, with Galton, my younger brother, they were waiting patiently for me to join them for b
Chapter 4. Confused. Study or money? Adrian pov. I left the lecture room, looking so nervous as I fiddled with my fingers, my heart was beating too fast as I walked towards the office of the new lecturer. If meeting up with him was not so important, then I would have been planning an escape route by now, and I wouldn't have been so nervous. I was nervous about a lot of things and the dominant of all the things was that I feared what he would think of me after seeing my failures, he must hate me immediately and for the fact that he easily fished me out of the multitude of students meant something. "Adrian!" I heard myself being called on and I halted. I turned back and saw Ryan running up to meet me. "Ryan," I muttered in relief when he got to me, he crouched to the floor with his hands holding his knees as he tried to catch his breath. At least, there is someone that calmed me down a little. I told myself, then questioned him, "What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in
Chapter 5. The handsome stranger. Adrian pov. I woke up on a Saturday morning, as usual, I was dressed for work and was eating a quick breakfast of roasted steak with my family. "You should rest more Adrian, I will foot all our bills, that's why I'm your mother," Mom told me. I glanced at her before returning my gaze to my plate of steak without saying a word. I didn't know why she would not just let everything be as it was, we all know that she can't foot the bills alone, she needed help and since there was no dad, I took the responsibility upon myself. "I know you regret having me as your mother, I know I'm useless." "Enough Mom!" I shouted at her, banging the table loudly, "How many times do we want to talk about this? Didn't I tell you that I'm okay? I am not complaining, am I?" I listed out the questions for her with my heart rising and falling like I was just done with a marathon. "But Adrian....." I cut her off, "You know what Mom? I lost my appetite." I finalized and
Chapter 6. Test her for me. Lincoln's POV. I watched silently as the lady I hit scurried away. "Hmm! So interesting." I thought. "Sir, what should we do with her?" One of my guards questioned me. I stared at the cheque with me and chuckled coldly, no one had ever rejected my generosity before, not like I love being generous in the first place. A part of me hated the fact that she rejected my money and another part liked it, she was proving to be different, feisty. "Leave her for now til I come up with an idea, let her feel like she has won, allow her to rock the crown for now til I'm ready to break her." I replied to my guard coldly and squeezed the cheque in my hand before trashing it, "But I would like to know everything about her." I completed my speech and began to leave the hospital with the guards trailing behind me. "Okay, sir." The guard I was speaking with answered. "Adrian," I muttered out her name, tasting the name on my tongue, the name was such a nice name
