“When you’re done shedding your tears, don’t forget to close the door behind you.” Those cold disdainful words shattered Starr’s world. Fleeing the scene of her lover’s betrayal, she is left ruined and wrecked by the man she once trusted, who now lies in bed with another woman, indifferent to the pain he has caused. Starr had poured her heart and all into building a life with Charles, only to discover that her love and sacrifices were used to build a life that she was never included in. Betrayed and broken, she learns that Charles only saw her as a way out of poverty and a means to support his true love and their unborn child. Determined to reclaim her life and shut out the pain, Starr seizes an opportunity to start over in France, taking a job offer from her boss that promises a fresh beginning. But as she navigates this new chapter, the wounds of her past linger. Can Starr truly move on and find the love she deserves, or will the scars of betrayal keep her heart closed forever?
View MoreThe alarm was loud as it jolted me out of my sleep, as I rubbed my eyes and snapped it open. I came in face with that pair of eyes that always made me feel butterflies in my belly. “Good morning beautiful.” And I smiled, “Hey.” “You alright? How was your night?” He asked, with a huge grin on his face.“It was good, but clearly intruded by that annoying alarm of yours.” I explained as I pushed closer and his arms come to wrap my waist. He chuckled and placed a soft kiss on my lips, “Well, for an ambitious woman, it shouldn’t be more better.” He spoke teasingly and I playfully slapped his chest then we ended up laughing.Seconds later, his facial expression moved from a smiley one to a less serious one, “You meant what said last night right?” I hesitated for a while to make his heart panic a little, and I saw that it was working because his face was turning to a hopeless one, before I bursted out in laughter. “Of course, I meant it.” Then he smiled and smacked my ass, “Really? You
Chapter 52✍️My mouth was partly apart while I lay there with my arms spread, moaning out from the intense pleasure the love of my life was making me feel.He continued, as he pulled his finger out and pushed it in again. He continued as he fastened his pace and added another finger. Flipping my clitoris continually with his other finger made me jerk forward.I couldn’t take it anymore. He was drowning me in pleasure so I raised my back off the bed and placed my hand on his cheek, rubbed it slowly while he stared at me and smiled, clearly loving how helpless I was under him.“Oh my God! Seven,” I called out his name as I threw my head backwards and shifted closer to feel every inch of his finger.“Oh, fuck!” I exclaimed loudly as I tried to pat my clit, but he took my hands off my body and placed it back on the bed. He continued to flip and finger me and I squirt on his fingers, arching my body to meet his. He pulled his fingers out as I took my eyes to meet hi
CHAPTER 51✍I dropped my hands from his shoulders and took a step back with my eyes glued to the ground. I couldn’t look at his face for some seconds and when I eventually did and our eyes met, he shook his head, tug his fingers in his hair and sighed out loud.“Are you going to say something?” He asked, his voice low and calm. I nodded before speaking.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have kissed you if that’s what is making you pissed.” His face arched with confusion as he placed his fingers on his jaw, rubbing off on his beards.“You really think I am pissed because you kissed me?” He threw at me as he raised an eyebrow, clearly angry at my outburst, “I don’t understand you, Starr. Today, you imply that you love me, and then you reject me and the next day you come to my house to kiss me? Is that it?” He explained as he tried to put the knot together. “What do you really want? He added.I stayed quiet, so he flipped his tongue over his lips and momentarily placed hi
CHAPTER 50✍️I drove hastily to his place. I kept pressing my honk at intervals. And after some minutes I arrived at his huge gate and I stopped.I didn’t know how to approach what I was about to do. What would I say to the gate, man? I opened my car door as I pressed the honk one more time to signal the gate keeper and I came down from my car and banged on the gate with my bare hands.Seconds later, I saw the gate man run open the little space to check out who was banging on the gate by this time of the night. Yes, it was the early hours of the night, but it was fucking raining heavily.“Madam Starr? Ma’am, what are you doing? It’s raining heavily.” He said, but I raised my voice high so he can hear me.“Yeah, I know, but would you please open the gate? I need to see your boss.” I replied almost immediately, and he nodded and slide and pushed the gate open.I went back into my car and drove inside the compound, not without mouthing him a thank you. I hurriedly ca
I looked at her when that rolled out of my mouth, but she still had a clear expression on her face. “That’s not what he asked you Starr. he didn’t ask you if you have a fucking medical condition. He asked you to be his girlfriend.”“So what? I should lie to him and lead him on for how long? Huh? I should do the same thing Charles did to me to him? Is that what you are asking me to do?” I threw at her and I saw her face softened in pain as tears flowed out of her eyes.“I just want you to be happy. I literally just want my best friend to be happy. That’s all I want.” She continued to speak as tears flowed down her eyes.I nodded my head immediately as I wiped the tears that spilled out of mine. “I understand, but I’ll be happy if he is happy.”I spoke and I see her tilt her head. “Really? Is that the lie you’ve fed yourself with? You and I know that’s a fucking lie.” She spat, and I shrugged my shoulders.“Then what would you have me do?”“Tell him about it, I am sure he wouldn’t___” I
CHAPTER 48✍️He stared into my face like time had stopped and I raised my hands to his face, “I’m sorry, Seven. But it’s for your own good.”He shook his head sideways, obviously against my answer, “No, no, Starr. Don’t say that to me. You said you love me. Isn’t that what you said?” He asked me, his brows furrowed in confusion.“Right? That’s what you said.”“Yes.” I replied.He face wrinkled in a frown as he spoke, “Then why say no?”I slowly took my hands from his to mine as I sit to face him directly, “it’s for your own good Seven, I don’t want to trap you with me.”His face turned into a deeper scowl, “What are you talking about? please tell me, what is the issue?” He begged, while I just stayed there, my eyes fixed as I shook my head again and he nodded.He looks at me for a second, his eyes dropped in hurt and rejection, he tugged on his hair in anger and stood up from the couch.I tried opening my mouth to explain but I couldn’t, even if I wanted to, how woul
Chapter 47 I thought I had heard incorrectly, so I asked him again, quickly searching around his face with my eyes for my answer, “What did you say?”“I Love you Starr.” He repeated, his voice firm and rigid. I stared deeply into his eyes, as I tried to search for my doubts or lies, but I couldn’t find any.I hesitated for a while before I threw my tongue over my lips to lick it. “Oh my God, Seven.” I replied lowly while I tried to balance myself on the couch since we barely had space between us.My words flattered, as I still stared into his face, “You know you shouldn’t say that just because you want to have sex.”His expression turned as his forehead furrowed in a deep frown. “You still don’t believe me? You think this is all because of sex?” He threw at me, but I remained calm while my eyes lingered on him.“Starr, I’m fucking serious. I love you!” He stated again, his voice loud and guarded.I stared at him, still fumbling with my nails, “Seven, I don’t k
CHAPTER 46✍️His eyes flashed with remorse and guilt as he continued, “That night was the best night I’ve had in years. I wouldn’t hope for something better than that.” He gulped as his eyes shone with sincerity and vulnerability. “I meant it when I said I liked it. There was never a second of it that felt I was doing it because of a bet. Trust me Starr,” He explained, while I just stared and sniffed back in the tears that were threatening to spill.He stretched his hands as he tried to reach mine for mine. He placed his on mine, and he gazed into my eyes. “Do you believe me?”I snapped out of my trance and placed my other hand on his as I gulped, trying to get things off my chest. I wanted him to know how that affected me and whatever little relationship or situation-ship we had before. “Yes, Seven, for a moment after we did—-” I trailed off as I cleared my throat to begin again, but skipped that part.“Honestly, I thought we had something going on, but I guess
CHAPTER 45✍️Still in my thoughts as I wore my flat shiny slippers, I heard the doorbell ring. “Oh shit! He’s here already.” I exclaimed as I quickly packed my makeup into the kitbag, pulled down my gown a little to straighten it, and I reached for the doorknob.I rushed down the stairs to the dining room to check if I’d successfully had everything set. Satisfied, I moved to the door to open it while my fingers trembled.I took a pause and took in a deep breath to calm my roaring nerves before I placed my hands on the doorknob to open it.And I came face to face with that familiar face I looked forward to seeing. He looked like a real man dressed in his fitted jeans and a relaxed fit shirt that skimmed his physique. His undone top two shirt buttons revealed a hint of chest, adding a touch of casual charm to his look.I had never seen him dressed in a Jean before, so it looked strange seeing him dressed like this, but it suits him so much. He looked breathtaking.
CHAPTER ONE ✍️Starr’s POV“Trust me Starr, I’m your best friend and I always want the best for you, I wouldn’t lie or accuse Charles of something that’s not true. So please believe me when I say he’s a freaking liar and a cheat.”“I saw him this afternoon in Nirvana lounge with a beautiful, average height, light-skin lady, and they looked so happy like people in love. Nirvana lounge, that rang a bell in my head. That’s the hotel me and him always stayed whenever he’s around.“And before you say anything, that didn’t look like a business deal or friendship date”. She added trying to sound convincing.I hung up abruptly, and sat quickly on my bed thinking about what lizzy just spurted. I didn’t want to believe “Could she be telling the truth? No, no, Starr stop, don’t do this,” I murmured as I welcomed denial.Charles would never hurt me. And what the hell would he be even doing in Dubai? I mean, he isn’t back from Canada, where he went on an important business trip for months now. ...
