I waited till his ‘boys’ left the office before I crawled out from my stupid hiding place.

Shit! We'd been holding hands since I was under there.

“What's funny?" Right. My mean mode activated again,the moment I yanked my hand from his.

He had his lips tucked in the one corner of his mouth, as if he was trying to hold back a smile.

“You.." He chuckled, brushing his chin with his finger lightly.

He laughed it off.

    Chapter 43: “I think I'm hard for you" STELLAI waited till his ‘boys’ left the office before I crawled out from my stupid hiding place. Shit! We'd been holding hands since I was under there. “What's funny?" Right. My mean mode activated again,the moment I yanked my hand from his. He had his lips tucked in the one corner of his mouth, as if he was trying to hold back a smile. “You.." He chuckled, brushing his chin with his finger lightly. He laughed it off. “I'm leaving." I said but it felt empty as those words left my lips. Like I didn't mean it. Like I didn't want to. Why was I repeating one phrase too many times? He said nothing. Like he didn't believe I meant it. Right. Curiosity had killed the cat and if there was another person left to die of it, it'd be me. "Can I ask a question before I leave?” I made sure my seriousness wasn't in my tone alone… but also in my eyes. My tone firmed. “Go ahead, Blaze"He adjusted in his chair, leaning forward, his eyes lingering on me

    Chapter 41: Hate? RHYS Shit. Blaze knew how to get the best part of me, and she never failed, but why were those fuckers smiling ear-to-ear as if flirting with her—my Blaze, was some piece of cake? She even called him ‘baby’ and he had the temerity to imagine walking down the aisle with her! My jaw tightened in the room filled with laughter and chuckles. I could miss other days but this? I'd never! I arrived in the country three hours before the graduation ceremony began. I'd have returned earlier but I needed to be sure of one thing—Alessio was gone. That way, it'd be safe for her. Three hours. I got dressed and as usual, Sophia clung to me. She was my ‘fiancée’ to the public, so that was the only valid reason. She knew I'd been out of the country but not the exact reason. I'd arrived at the venue, minutes before she walked in. Fuck. Blaze was fuckin dashing in that gown. The purple one. My eyes were fixed on her all through the ceremony. Even when Cassian had walke

    Chapter 40: You Don't Own Me. STELLAIt ws the D-Day.I held the lower part of my purple hand-stoned and beaded dress as I climbed the stairs, leading into the hall—Cassian had given me three luxurious dresses, made by one of the most respected and legendary fashion designers from Africa, Veekee James. He'd asked me to wear any for my graduation ceremony. I was graduating. The wait was over. The efforts was finally paying off. Two years of learning had ended—it was time to step out of the world of being a fashion ‘student’, chase my dream and get that one thing that had been my drive till this moment—power. The past one month—even two had been the same. But the last month had been even tougher—and rougher. I hadn't seen him in a month… it'd been two since the incident happened.I hadn't tendered a statement online. Nothing. My name was still trending but I didn't care anymore.

    Chapyer 39: The PriceRHYSThe stock issue had died down. I'd settled it but I realized something—It was never meant to take control of my company…rather it was a warning.From no one but K. Alessio K. The bastard I'd shot thrice with my own hands, ten years ago. I had enemies. I've always had enemies—the ones who would give everything up for my head. Just like Alessio, Taylor, and other governors who belonged to brotherhood groups like I used to. I wasn't mad at Blaze. If there was anyone I'd believe without second thought, it was her. I trusted her but that night, I realized something: I couldn't be around her anymore. I'd only attract danger which would eventually take her from me. Since Alessio’s last interference with my company's major shareholders, my boys had been hell-bent on asking for a reunion. I didn't want to….I’d sworn I would never. I wasn't scared of Alessio… I was only trying to be a better person—and protect her from scumbags like him. Alessio had nothing

I didn't care if I damaged the fabric beneath it. I grabbed my phone and texted him.I knew it was the last thing to have done but no matter how hard I thought, it was the only option I had left—face the attacker. “Meet me there by seven. "I hit the ‘Send’ button on my phone, letting out a sharp breath as I headed outside the academy. I couldn't panic. He texted back, agreeing to be there, even though he was curious as to why. Rhys was here to pick me up at the academy and for a minute. Oddly, my chest tightened. “Rhys," I said his name awkwardly, settling in the car. “You shouldn't have come, Rhys. I'm sure you—" “Shh" he husked, pinning his index against his lips. “You know I wouldn't let someone else take you home. I'd do it all by myself” He smiled. God. My mind couldn't str
