His face brightened a little, and he grabbed my hands into his and placed a kiss on the back of it. “I love you too …..”He took a pause, as he took in a deep breath, making his Adam's apple pop out a little. “But Starr, are you okay? Do you feel sick?”His eyes searched mine, looking for anything but an answer. “No, I’m fine Seven. Okay?”Instantly, my stomach churned, sending the feeling that induces nausea right directly to my throat.Suddenly the feeling of disgust, or should I say, regurgitation, surged through me so quickly I gulped it back down, pushing it back with my spit.The doctor mentioned that with the drugs I was taking, the side effects would be nausea, weakness, and stomach irritation.So that’s why I’m not halfway to the hospital freaking out.I took my eyes back to the throbbing eyes of him, still staring without taking it off for a minute. He just stood before me, gazing intensely.Knowing a lot would probably be going through his mind and I didn’t want him to beco
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.
CHAPTER 2✍️As the elevator came to a halt, I stepped out and returned the keycard to the receptionist. I sprinted out of the building and flagged down a taxi. The drive was cold and silent, and my vision blurred from excessive crying.Getting to my destination, I sat in a bar with three bottles of pure alcohol, drowning in my sorrows. I knew that was exactly what I needed at that moment. As I struggled to regain control of my emotions, memories of what I had witnessed came flooding back.The memory of her stunning beauty lingered, and I couldn’t help but compare myself to her. She was a version of perfection, stunningly beautiful, and in that moment, I knew I would never measure up to her. Even in a fairy dress, he’d never love someone like me. He needed someone beautiful, model looking, confident, and someone who’d give him a Child, I was none of them.I remembered how they looked into each other eyes with burning love passion, and it dawned on me. “Never in a million year
CHAPTER 3✍️ I woke up in an unfamiliar place; the ceiling was far different from the ones in my room. “Where the hell am I?” I asked myself. I tried getting up, and that was when I saw the bed I was lying on. “I’m in a freaking hospital.” The door creaked. I looked up to see what was wrong, and I saw Lizzy walk in with a man that looked like, he’s in his late forties and yes, he was with a stethoscope on his neck. “Yeah, how great. Lizzy brought me to a fucking hospital.” “Hey, Starr, right? How’re you feeling?” the doctor asked, his voice gentle. I hesitantly answered, “I feel good doctor,” please can you give me and my friend a moment together? It’s really urgent. I need to speak with her. The doctor nodded sympathetically. “Of course, I’ll give you some privacy. But just for a minute, okay?” As soon as the doctor left, I turned to Lizzy, my voice low and urgent. “Why the hell did you bring me to a hospital, Lizzy? You know how much I hate hospitals, it smells, It
Chapter 4✍️“Always make sure you sleep well, rest early, and stay away from alcohol, okay? And also stay hydrated.” He added.I nodded slightly, still gazing out the window. Lizzy squeezed my hand reassuring.“We’ll get through this, Starr, like we always do, okay? Lizzy consoled me. Yes.” I answered.The doctor smiled softly, warmly. “You’ll need to come back for a follow-up appointment in two weeks’ time. We’ll monitor your condition and adjust your medication as needed.”I turned back to face him, forcing a weak smile. “Okay, doctor. Thank you.”After an emotionally draining day, I collapsed onto the bed as soon as we got home, exhausted, took over. Lizzy let me sleep, knowing I needed to recharge.Hours later, I woke up feeling a bit more refreshed. Lizzy was sitting in the living room, her eyes fixed on me as I walked in.“Hey, how are you feeling?” She asked, concern etched on her face.I shrugged, taking a seat beside her. “Better, thanks.”Lizzy nodd
Chapter 5✍️“Where are my freaking clothes?” I shouted at the top of my voice. The door swung open, and someone walked in. I looked up and my eyes widened in horror. It was the same guy I met at the club! “What was his name again?” I thought to myself, panic setting in. “I don’t even remember and I don’t care!!!”“No, no, no, this can’t be happening, I exclaimed, my voice and hands trembling. “W-what am I doing in your… your house?” I stuttered, trying to process the situation. “Who brought me here?” I demanded, my anger rising.The guy’s expression remained calm, but I could see a sense of amusement dancing in his eyes.“You don’t remember me, do you?” He asked, his voice low but smooth.I shook my head, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration. “No, I…I don’t, and funny enough, I don’t care. The only thing I wish to know is, Why the hell am I in your fucking bed?” That’s all I want to know.I tilted my head sideways, trying to calm my frazzled nerves do
Chapter 6✍️The cool breeze enveloped me as I stepped off the plane in France. I joined the stream of passengers moving towards the baggage claim, the sound of luggage wheels and chatters filling the air. I felt a thrill of happiness knowing I was away and I wanted to start all over, but I still had thoughts of that suspicious phone call. I don’t frolic around with any man, so who could that be? I mean, I would have easily said Charles’s wife, but they were long gone and I haven’t spoken to him since our last encounter at the airport, so definitely it’s not here, then who? I thought to myself with a blank expression on my face. I rolled my luggages to a taxi, gave the driver my destination and few minutes later, I stood at the front of a beautiful tall building.This was it, my new home. I smiled and stepped inside. The concierge greeted me warmly and handed me the keys to my apartment. I thanked her and made my way upstairs, unlocking the door and stepping inside
CHAPTER 7✍️Starr’s POV I and Mr. Jenkins were still conversing, but we were nearly finished.“I like that.” He quickly reached for his landline and called someone to come in and after a few minutes, a beautiful brunette lady came in and he told her to take me to my office.We got outside, and she complimented me. “Hey, I’m Racheal, but you can call me ray. I wouldn’t mind, I mean cause my friends call me that.” She stuttered, and God! You’re so beautiful,” she added.I blushed immediately, that rolled out of her mouth. “Thank you Racheal, you look beautiful too,” I complimented her too, and she slightly tapped my arm. “Oh, please, don’t flatter me.”We got a cabin, and we stopped there. She opened the door and told me this was my space, while hers was just beside mine, and if I ever needed anything, I shouldn’t hesitate to call her. And I responded, “ Okay, Rachael, thank you.”After a long stressful day at work, I got home, had my shower, and headed outside t
His face brightened a little, and he grabbed my hands into his and placed a kiss on the back of it. “I love you too …..”He took a pause, as he took in a deep breath, making his Adam's apple pop out a little. “But Starr, are you okay? Do you feel sick?”His eyes searched mine, looking for anything but an answer. “No, I’m fine Seven.

Two weeks have passed. Seven and I were supposed to go on our date last week Saturday but work had it moved so we were both currently preparing to go today.Seven had to travel back to New York for a meeting and I had to understand as the understanding girlfriend I pledged to be.But now right, I’m glad that we were finally able to do this.My ringing phone jolted me out of my reverie. It was on top of the cabinet where my makeup was. So steadying my full hands, I picked.That familiar deep, masculine voice sent a shrill of excitement through me. I haven’t heard from him for a long time now and trust me that’s not how best friends behave.But it wasn’t entirely my fault. Kelvin was now a busy person. One that travels from country to country in one week. So he was damn busy.“Hey, hello?” I responded with my lips pouted to the mirror still applying my red seductive lip stick to it, just like the way Seven likes it.“Starr? What sup? How’re you?” He asked all at once and I was wondering
The kitchen was eerily silent, with just burning gazes. I knew I had to say something to make him believe me and not be suspicious of anything.So I cleared my throat and responded. “Uh…. Yeah, babe.” I took a pause while his eyebrows etched, waiting to hear my reason.I forced a laugh, trying to ease the tension, but he was serious. He kept a straight face. “The drugs…Uh.. they’re also skin supplements.”I stated as I chuckled again, trying to ease myself and hope that he buys it. “Skin supplements?” He asked, as his forehead wrinkled in confusion.“Yeah. I take them pretty often.”My eyes widened, so I leaned back, surprised, while I tapped on the side of my thighs as I waited for his next words. “Hmm… I never knew you take supplements for your skin.”When that came out of his mouth, I knew he bought it already, so I tried to be calm as I spoke. “Yeah, I do.”“Okay.” He gave a curt response and turned around for a moment and turned back to face me immediately, like he remembered som
Last night was amazing. It was a hot one I’ve had in years.I guess with Seven, everything is bound to be good and sweet.My mind whirled off to every single detail from last night. From making out from the table. Yes, my man made me squirt on that table. Giving me a blissful orgasm with just his mouth to my tit and his fingers doing wonders in my private region.After he made sure to mark his table, he carried me to the bed and did the actual work.My cheeks slipped off into a wide smile as I kept on staring at his beautiful face. He was asleep, and I woke up about an hour ago, gazing back at the wonderful sex we had last night.It was bare. No barrier between us. Just sweet and connecting.I disagreed last night when he wanted to use a condom and, considering how much he wanted me, it wasn’t really up for a debate.He just dropped the topic and moved into me slowly, making me lose my breath because of the amount of sweetness I felt.It was overwhelming. For the first time in my life
A shiver ran down my spine when I stared at it with amusement evident in my face.Woah! “Baby.” I exclaimed.He came closer with that naughty smirk on his face. “You literally bought a pant. A G-string.”I exclaimed as I held it up to his face, checking it out.He chuckled, slipped it off my hands into his, and smiled widely. “I can’t wait for you to put it on, on our date this weekend.”My heart swelled with joy, and my eyes shone. “A date?”He let his hands slip into my waist, holding it perfectly. “Yes.”Instantly, my hands flew over his neck, hugging him tight. “I’m so happy, Seven. Finally.” I commented, and his cheek curved into another charming smile.For the next few seconds, we kept on staring deep into each other’s eyes. Before his eyes flickered to my lips, then back at my eyes.Slowly, his hands rested on my hips, then slid lower. He lowered his face and captured my lips.At first, it was slow. He kept on moving his lips on my lower while his hands danced around my butt, g
Starr’s POVMy face brightened up into a charming smile and I slapped his chest jokingly and chuckled while speaking. “Why would you throw such words away?” He feigned ignorance immediately. “What words.” Jokingly I hit him again, “Stop Seven, I’m serious.” And he laughed hard.He shrugged his shoulders. “But I am too,” he responded, and I feigned anger quickly and folded my arms.His lips curved into another smile, and he raised his hands in defeat. “Okay. okay. What part should I not throw away? The part where I said I’m jealous or the part where I referred to you as Mrs seven?” He arched his brows with a teasing smirk on his face. “Ugh…” I groaned loudly before settling my eyes back at him and leaned very closer.I stretched my hands to his beards as I stared deeply into his eyes. “Why would you throw something like that away knowing it was just a joke.?” I whispered.Seriousness spread over his face quickly. “And what if I say I meant it, and…..” he took a pause, cleared his th
Her face dropped dead immediately. Shock was written all over it. She was scared, but quickly milked it up with a small smile.She cleared her throat before responding. “Uhhh… they’re nothing, it’s just you know... menstrual supplements.” She struggled with her words as she stuttered.“Okay.” I gave a curt reply.She took her eyes momentarily to the closet and then back at me, before taking the picked clothes in her hands and moved to the bedroom.I just strolled behind her. She took off the towel while I just leaned my body on her cabinet whilst staring at her, wear her bra to her heels.She didn’t even bother to put on makeup. She just brushed her hair and applied some nude lipstick.Instantly, I stood up and approached her by the dressing table. I took a wipe and wiped the lipstick off, then picked a red one, placing it on her palm.She chuckled and slapped my chest softly. “You love red lipstick, huh?”I furrowed my eyebrows and smiled. “You’ve no idea how much it looks good on yo
My hands grasped the doorknob, and I pushed it open. The room was empty. For a moment I panicked. My heart raced, but the instant I heard the water running and then it stopped, I knew she was in.She was taking her bath. So I moved my legs to the window, knowing that she’d be out any moment from now.I stretched out my fingers, who has turned white from my nervous knuckles. Swiftly, I wiped my hands on my Jean to clean out the sweat that formed.Still waiting, I moved my legs to her desks where her laptop was, opened. A warmth spread through my chest as I gazed at her laptop, admiring her dedication.My eyes scanned the whole table, and it finally landed on a white thick nylon that had some pack of drugs.Is she not feeling too well? Why is she on drugs?One of it was already at the tip of the nylon, wanting to spill out. So I picked it up to read the content.But the bathroom door swung open. She stepped out and instantly she stood frozen immediately she set her eyes on me. With her
Sighing, I bursted out into laughter. This epistle is so funny. I knew she was hurt, and that, given my weeks of silence, she probably assumed I was tired of her and wanted to break up.I narrowed my eyes back to my parents and siblings.⏰⏰⏰TWO WEEKS LATERSquinted my eyes before heaving out the deep breath that I’ve kept in for so long.“What is your woman saying, man?” I inquired, narrowing my eyes in slight anger.Groaning, I responded immediately. “I thought you told me that she said Starr would be home today. What changed?” I took another deep breath as I tried to understand what he was spurting from the other end.“So for two weeks, she has been avoiding you? Is that it?” I asked him with my jaw clenching with anger.My eyes moved around trying to read what’s going on even from the other side of the phone.“Man, I think she’s lying or stalling. Maybe Starr is upstairs. Check it out for me. Go to her room and knock. She’s supposed to be back from work.”Tugging the root of my ha
