CHAPTER 56✍️The day was moving smoothly, but I couldn’t concentrate at work. He still tried to have a conversation with me after I finished bathing, but I wasn’t in that mood, so I gave silence and laughed a little at whatever he said.After we both finished preparing, he offered to drive me to work because my car had already been sent home. We walked to his car with my heels clicking the floor.Abruptly, he held my hands back and held me by my waist in front of his glaring gate keeper. He asked if I was okay, that I should talk to him, but I dispatched it, and said everything was fine, but now I regret it.My coming to the office today was clearly a mistake. I couldn’t work, I couldn’t attend to the reports that I should. The reports of 130pages are to be checked and sent by me to the marketing teams. It should be finalized by Friday. That’s three days from now and I was yet to do them. I was a mess.Finally, it was closing hours, and I quickly packed the files
Chapter 57✍️I knew from the onset that he never liked Kay. He had always hated Kelvin right from the first day he saw him. I remember when I and kelvin came down the stairs, and he kept on gawking at him, so hearing his voice in the background made him angry.And I was sure different thoughts were going through his mind at this moment, but I just can’t be away from my best friend that I’ve known for years even before I met him just because we are now together and he doesn’t like him.That’s his own issue to deal not mine. I’d see kelvin anytime I want. The love I have for him won’t stop me. Moreover, I’m sure he’d understand considering that he knows what it means to take someone very dare to your heart. If the girl on his chest isn’t important, he wouldn’t tattoo her on his skin and keep her identity away from me when he claims that he loves me.Kay glanced at me momentarily as I respond in the same tone, “I’ll call you back.” before I hung up and dropped t
CHAPTER 58✍️I rubbed my temples to calm my nerves before speaking. “It’s fine, Ella. Thank you.” I said to her as I was about going up back to my room. I stopped and turned to look at her again.“On a second thought. Actually, I checked everybody’s room except Tania’s because it’s locked.”I stated, and I saw her open her mouth, probably startled by that piece of news. “You see that? Why would she lock her door?” She commented.And I shrugged off my shoulders and climbed back to my room. I didn’t know what to think. Was Tania truly behind this? But I’ve known her for a long time. She wouldn’t steal, she’s not a thief.I kept on thinking, trying to revolve my head around the entire issue.My phone rang again as I glanced at the screen to know if he was the one calling. He was.So I swiped up to pick as I hear his deep voice. Although it was calm but I knew he was angry, and probably trying to keep it intact.“Have you gotten home?” He asked.I replied hesita
Chapter 59✍️“Tania?” I asked with my eyes wide open in shock. “What’re you doing?”She seemed to be to in surprise as she saw me, but she quickly straightened her shoulders as she tried to calm her nerves, cleared her throat and gave her response, “I’m sorry, I…. Just didn’t know how to face you. I borrowed your car, so I came to drop off your keys.” She replied, stuttering.I furrowed my brows in confusion as I try to get what she meant by that. “You don’t know how to face me, so you thought it was okay to sneak in? Just because of the keys?”I asked, and she glanced at me before taking her eyes off me back to her fidgeting fingers. “No. It’s because I’ve been acting all strange and I misunderstood you, so I’m sorry.” She concluded and took a step, but halted immediately. “Please, just know it wasn’t my intention to hurt you..” she added.I still arched my eyebrows, still not understanding what all this was about. “T, what’s wrong? What are you saying?” I ask
CHAPTER 60✍️Clamping my mouth tightly as I tried to take in the whole scenario that was displaying. I didn’t know what to do, so quickly, I moved my hands to reach for my handbag. I pulled it onto my lap as I tried to pull out my phone.I got the road that had a U turn, so I swiftly turned my hands towards it as I pulled up into the next lane.My fingers grasped my seat belt as I buckled up, before I dialed Seven’s line as my hands continued shaking in fear and my face soaked in premium tears.God! I was going to die today. Tears continued to roll down my face as I tried to breathe out but my chest tightened.When he picked at the second ring, I shout as I tried to explain to him briefly. “Seven, please help me. My car wouldn’t stop, it just doesn’t want to stop.”Hurriedly, I felt his tensed voice. “I don’t understand, what do you mean?” He asked sharply, and I responded immediately, not giving him a chance to speak again.“Please help me, it wouldn’t stop. My
I flickered my eyes away from her back to Lizzy, and I signaled that she should come closer.Immediately she pulled her chair close to me, she rose, and sank onto the bed, as she arched her brows and rubbed my chin.I took my gaze from her back to the Tania, and then back to Lizzy again. But before I’d speak. Tania spoke up and insisted that she wanted to speak to me first.Ella stood up, strolled closer to the window as she no longer felt comfortable, so she spoke up through gritted teeth “You can see that she’s sick, tell her whatever you want to tell her later.”So I quickly took my gaze back to Tania. She drew closer as she fumbled with her fingers. “No, I want to tell her now.” She persisted.I nodded with my eyes squinting around waiting to hear her talk, “What’s it?”Hesitantly, she started off, “I’m sorry Starr. I doubted you so I misunderstood you. But it wasn’t my intention. Please understand me.”Confusion was etched on my face as I furrowed my brows trying to understand he
I placed my hand on Seven, making him turn his gaze back at me. The room fell awkwardly silent as Kay came closer and asked if I was alright.I responded with a smile as I glanced back at Seven and I saw he was fuming. Clearly, he didn’t like the idea of Kay been this close to me, so he leaned closer and whispered to me that he’d be back. He has to receive a call.He stood up and left, making the atmosphere in the room change. We all started conversing, although Lizzy was a little distant. I knew she wasn’t happy that Seven had to leave because Kay was around.She liked Seven for me. He rounded up our conversation, and it was time for him to leave. So he placed a peck on my cheek the moment Seven walked in.My eyes snapped to the doorway as I saw Seven halt in his step before moving away for Kay to walk out.He didn’t say anything as the nurses came in to inject me with a sleeping dose, so I dozed off, obviously tired from the whole talk.I woke up the next day to see that it was jus
I was currently in my room. After that outburst from Jude, I wasn’t feeling comfortable anymore, so I told them that I was going back to my room.Firstly, I went to the kitchen, took my food and a glass of milk before going back to my room.After I finished eating, I dropped the tray on my nightstand, and I snuggled u see the warm blankets, feeling the softness of my bed envelop me. I tried taking a nap, but each time, I bounced back to thinking.Hours later, Lizzy came into my room, so I quickly shut my eyes to pretend like I was sleeping and she snuggled close to me as she placed her hands on my face, caressing it till she spoke.“You know you can’t deceive me, right?” I still kept shut cause I wasn’t ready for her scolding. But she chuckled when I still didn’t make a move, then she went for my nose. She held it and I quickly slapped her hands off and we bursted out in laughter.I gasped out as I spoke, “Do you wanna kill me?” I asked with a smile plastered on my face.She laughed b
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
Washington, Seattle⏰Momentarily, I turned my back to my father, before tugging the root of my hair then faced him again. “No, I’m not going to reconsider anything that man uttered. All of that he said, it’s just based on his daughter’s feelings and not for the company’s alignment.”Narrowing my eyes, I spoke again. “And moreover I told you and mom that I found someone that I love already so I meant it when I clearly stated last year, that the betrothal engagement is cut of.”“I only honored this invitation because of the respect I have for him, but since he wouldn’t get it through his head via email, that is the reason I came. To let it out myself so he and his family can leave us alone dad.”Still panting, I let it all out while my father just stood staring at me till I explained everything. “Okay, son. I understand.”Finally, I was glad when that came out of his mouth. He held me by my arms and motioned that we go back inside.“Thank you Terrence for having my son and I.” Trisha’s
Tension filled the room immediately and I saw her face melt into something I couldn’t get myself to understand. “Perfect, you’re a jealous one. Just like him.”She chuckled again, although this one was a little louder, earning a huge grin on her face before she spoke again. “Oh, I now see why you two are made for each other.” She stated chuckling, and again, she checked her phone for the ninth time.I arched my chin up as I began to wonder why she constantly kept on doing that.She picked up her phone from the table and scrolled through, typing something in it. Probably sent a message before placing it down back on the table. She took her eyes to me. “I’m sorry that you found that offensive, or rather I’m that you found me in your man’s shirt. It won’t happen again.” It was my time to chuckle. And I did before taking my eyes back to her. “No, don’t take it personal. I just……”“You know what Starr? It’s totally fine. I understand.” She stated as she leaned closer and placed her arms
It was a message from Seven’s first love. Camille.Why did she send me a message? Why does she want us to meet?I rolled my eyes and took it back to Lizzy and she widened hers and shrugged her shoulders. “What?”Grouchily, I responded. “Camille wants us to meet today.”A small smile spread across her face immediately. “Why that expression?” I quickly inquired.Chuckling, she replied. “Nothing. I’m just glad she probably wants to get things off her chest with you, so it’s a good one.”Without wasting any more seconds, I gave my honest response. “Well, I’m not going.”Lizzy bursted out laughing with her hands on her chest. “Oh Starr., I know you’ll. So quit the hard girl and go meet the woman trying to get between you and your man.”Time flew in a flurry of activity, and it was early evening.I quickly wore a knee length black gown and I short heel slippers to go with it.Hesitantly, I pulled up at the small parking lot and strolled inside.The shiny light in the room was very captivati
