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 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
The 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
“What?” I exclaimed with my eyes bulging out in shock and a small smile crept onto my face.“But, babe, you don’t have to.” I spoke quickly and as soon as I heard him heave a sigh, I knew he wanted to but I didn’t want to stress him.“I meant to say that you shouldn’t stress yourself cause I have my car here with me.” I stated the obvious with my hands stretched toward it.But then I heard his sweet voice at the far end. Although, network was breaking, but I managed to grasp his response.“That shouldn’t be an issue. I would inform carter, the porter in the company, to take it to your place, okay?” He suggested and hesitantly I agreed immediately.“Alright that’s fine, but I’m not at work right now. I’m at sip and vibe.” I stated and I hear his end go silent, so I added. “I just met with Chris.”Hesitantly, he replied, “Okay, just stay right there. I’ll soon get to you.”Minutes later, I saw him drive as he approached where I stood, and I couldn’t help but gawk at his car. It is a Bla
Chapter 55✍️️I couldn’t help but laugh. Lizzy’s laugh cracked me up. “Elizabeth,” I said, “I’ll speak to you when I get home. I spoke through gritted teeth. I didn’t speak out loud cause Seven was on a call with Clarice about a major project.I could feel that she raised her brows to respond, but I gulped as I wait for it. “Really? The same way you promised to be home today? But you didn’t?” She stated, and I opened my mouth to defend myself, but I was short of words. I didn’t know what to say, so I literally begged her, “Okay, I apologize, but it was very important, so I had to stay.”“Really?” she questioned, and I nodded like she could see me.I heard her clap her hands together and replied, “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow, then. I’m serious, Starr. Tomorrow has to be tomorrow.” And I replied, still nodding my head before speaking.“Of course, boss.” I spoke, and I heard her chuckle.“Well____” she dragged before adding, “Goodnight…. Say hi to Seven for me and don
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
Restlessly, I kept turning around in my bed. I couldn’t sleep. I kept on drifting back to the conversation Seven and I had earlier today. Was I that bad? Am I possessed? Why can’t I keep a man just like every other woman?My mind reeled off to Ella. She knew of my condition now. I’m sure she’d blackmail me with it since she has always had eyes for Seven, so there was absolutely no way I’d win this.She would definitely force me to back out for her to take my place in his life. If I truly had one.I wasn’t ready to tell him. No. I couldn’t possibly look him in the eyes and say. “Hey, I’ve a freaking medical condition and I can’t conceive.” Yeah. That’s extremely funny.I just can’t. There is no way I am doing that. So the other option is just to let him be. But my heart can’t. I love him.Sighing, I placed my hand on my chest as I continued to heave heavily and think deep.Sighing out deeply for the up tenth time, I felt my chest tightened so quickly, I grasp the duvet and threw it off
Her gawking eyes followed me till I push the door open and went outside. She didn’t bother saying anything, the same goes for me and for some unknown reasons I was grateful.I wasn’t ready for any fake love or affection.Hastily, I walked to my car and stayed in there for some time, wiping away the constant tears that were dripping down.After successfully pouring everything out, I drove home and went inside, not spending another one second out there wallowing.The instant I pushed the door open, I met Chris and Gab in the sitting room with their woman giggling and all happy.They were definitely cracking jokes and grinning from ear to ear. Faking a small smile, I greeted them and moved closer to take Chris’s outstretched hands to shake me.After the short compliments and welcoming speech, I made sure I didn’t spare a slight glance to Lizzy’s way.I just ran upstairs and banged my door hard. Few minutes later, after taking a cold shower, I heard a soft knock on the door.Quickly, I wr
Chapter 77He took a step closer to me, his eyes locked on mine. Pain and hurt instantly filled his eyes. “Gone.” I furrowed my brows in confusion as I tried to understand what he meant by “Gone.”.“What do you mean by gone?”Biting his lower lips, he sniffed in a little and spoke again. “She died. It was still birth.” My eyes bulged out in pain for him and he hurried back to the windows, staring out at it. I took a deep breath, composing myself before speaking. “You shouldn’t blame yourself for that.” I spoke out, trying to comfort him.He turned to look at me as I continued, “You got separated. So there was absolutely no way you’d have been there for her.”Sewing in his sob, he spoke. “Apparently, she got pregnant and my parent already got me betrothed to Trisha right from when we were growing up because Trisha's family are also rich and they needed that contracted marriage.”“So I’m sure Camille’s mother figured it all out. That was the reason she took her
I didn’t know what to do next. One part of me wanted to storm out and confront Lizzy, while another part of me stayed frozen in shock.I stood there, unsure of how to react, as Lizzy continued her conversation, oblivious to my presence.As I stood there, I knew that my relationship with Seven would never be the same. The secrets and lied had created a rift, and I wasn’t sure if it would be amended.My secrets to him and his to me. He knew about all of this, and he made me think that I was overreacting.With my trembling hands, I wiped my tears, and gradually, without making a noise, I went out of her room.I approached the gate, pushed it open, and went into my car. I let my tears fall because I knew it was over for me.Trying to relax my racing heart, I placed my hands on my chest to calm myself. My drugs were in my bag, so there was no way I’d stop a huge panic attack if it set in.My hands caught my steering wheel, so I puffed out the gagging air in my throat, then revved the engin
Still contemplating, tears continued to spill out of my eyes, and I quickly took my hands to wipe them out.Slowly, I turned around to look at Lizzy. She glanced at me without saying anything. Giving me the expression of, do whatever it is you want, she moved her step to reach the stairs, going up.Lizzy’s behavior dumbfounded me, because she had never acted like that before. She left me alone to face this all by myself.Sluggishly, I nodded, picked my bag from the couch and went straight to the wine cellar to get a full bottle of wine before moving to my room.Slamming the door shut, I didn’t bother to take another step. I just slumped to the floor and wrapped my knee close to my face and cried my eyes out.I was selfish. Maybe I should have trusted him and now he has left me. I did this to myself.I let anger and jealousy fuel inside me so badly that I didn’t see who he really was. How true of a man he has been to me.I stayed there, on the ground and cried for hours and in that pro
Pushing my hair slowly away from my face, I took a step forward while he just stood there staring at me intensely before he turned around and moved to push the gate open to go in.I thought he was leaving just now? Why did he go back inside? I thought to myself as my face crinkled in confusion.I walked behind him going inside till we got to where my car was parked, so he leaned forward and bent his head while he squeezed his hands, making his knuckles turn white from it.He was clearly angry. But I’m the one that’s supposed to be. Then why is he?Without thinking, angrily, I hissed and hastened my foot to the front door. He shoot up and turned to me. I could feel his eyes piercing my skin as I walked, but I didn’t care.Till he shouted my name, coming behind me. We pushed the door open, revealing Lizzy that was with a glass of juice about going up, but paused the moment she saw the door fling open with me marching inside and Seven coming behind me, fuming and yelling.“Starr? What th
I blinked back the tears that were rolling as Tania came closer to me, but I quickly smiled at her and hugged her goodnight.I briefly hugged Chris, too. “I can drop you off, Starr.” He suggested, but I turned him down.“Oh, you don’t have to worry. I’ll be fine.” I said fast and walked to the front door.Sighing, I dialed his line. It rang for some seconds before he picked up. “Kay, please, can you come pick me up? If you are not busy.”I heard him respond quickly, “Yeah, sure. Where is the place?” He asked, and I gave him directions.Minutes later, my phone rang, and I hastily walked out of the gate and approached his car before stepping in.He noticed my withered makeup that was scattered because of my seared tears, and I quickly lowered my gaze and looked out of the window.There was no doubt that he noticed, but I’m sure he remained calm because he knew I would probably not give answers to his pending questions, and trust me, I was glad.The drive was fast to his place, and I was
My eyes were fixed at her before I took it to Seven as I anticipated his response. My heart began to race because I was scared he was going to deny me. It’d all come crashing down if his response is negative. His lips parted to speak as everywhere was ultimately silence, that even if a pin was dropped it would be heard.“Yes, she’s my girlfriend.” She replied with a smile on his face.Camille’s face went into a surprise one as she smiled very shortly and clamped her mouth with her hands momentarily.“I didn’t know that.” I cleared my throat before speaking up.“Seven can I talk to you for moment?” I requested and she chipped in sharply.“I’m sorry, we’re having an important discussion, so please just give us a moment?” My eyes snapped at her when she spat that out and I began to wonder if she was alright.That instant, I expected Seven to disapprove what she said, but instead he did the opposite, he supported her.Surprisingly, He made me feel inferior. He made me feel worthless. C
Her smile was bright and contagious, revealing her full set of white teeth. Seeing her up close like this, I noticed her skin was very radiant and shiny.Her lips were curved as V at the upper part, making it look outstanding. “Hey.” She waved her hands at me, and I instantly feigned a smile.“Hi.” I responded and collided my hands with her outstretched hands. Before we pulled apart and she took her eyes to Seven.She placed her hands on his arms and whispered something in his ear. Making me gulp down the spit that formed at the depth of my throat.My stomach churned in annoyance, but I rubbed my hands together to ease myself from smacking the hell out of her face.Hell yeah, I was jealous.After she was done whispering, Seven spoke up as he placed his hands on mine. Caressed it a little, and spoke. “I’ll be back, okay?”I opened my mouth to speak but stopped abruptly because she’d had already fixed her arms in his and walked away. Was this the human that Lizzy said she would have mov
