Shit! What explanation would I give to him? I thought to myself.

I moved closer to him to hold his hands, and he let me. He just stood there staring at me, probably searching for answers in my eyes.

“Kay,” I began as I called out his name, but he was just too quiet, so I continued.

“I can explain,” I added.

“Exactly, and I’m waiting for it,” he said softly, like someone who wasn’t upset, but I knew he was.

I knew it was time to come out plain, but I still contemplated in

    “Arghhh.” I groaned loudly as I sit up on the soft mattress. My eyes still shut from the heavy hangover I am currently dealing with.“Shit. Fuck this headache.” I cursed under my breath. It was fucking too much but it’s no one fault but mine. “Why did I drink this much? Ughhh.” I groaned again as I placed my right hand on my head praying that the hangover disappears immediately.But who was I kidding? It was only getting started. My eyes finally sluggishly open as I take in my environment with my fingers grabbing the sheets like someone else was coming to steal it away.And that was when it dawned on me that I’m naked and it was surely not me that took off my dress.Immediately, I shoot up positioning my legs to sit up properly. My hands were at the tip of the blanket holding it tightly as I try to wrap my head around the whole situation and memories rolling turbulence in my head.“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” I cursed again for the fourth time this morning.“What the hell happened last night

    Taking in a deep breath, I took my groggy eyes back to the door then back to the man standing in front of me. Steadily flickering my lashes as I took the gaze of an undressed man standing right before the bed.Drowsily, I began to mutter my man’s name, calling him unto the bed. But surprisingly, he was reluctant which is unlike Seven.Seven isn’t the one to hesitate when its comes to being in bed with me. He takes every little chances to kiss and adore me. But why was he acting slow this very minute.I gave up thinking and getting myself worked up over things that shouldn’t bother me. Maybe he was trying to carry out a new method or perhaps, he wants tonight be to so different.I giggled as I stretched my hands to meet the air motioning for him to come closer. Through the dim light, I could see his face curve into that of a smirk. That teasing smirk and trust me, that sent a chill down my spine cause he was being fucking hot and sexy right now which is exactly what I need at the m

    Ella’s words stayed in my head longer than I wanted. Maybe he’s hiding something and maybe he’s not. “you’re not thinking clearly.”I kept on saying that to my self over and over again for the past 3days. “Maybe your marriage won’t survive.” Those particularly words we’re so firm.I tried to shake them off, but they kept echoing… echoing… echoing until it felt like the room itself was breathing her poison.Snapping out of my reverie, I instantly made up my mind to lie to him and figure it out in marriage just like I concluded months back.I leaned back against the wall, my chest rising and falling faster than normal.My fingers trembled a little.Then the edges of the room began to blur.Not again.My eye blinked very sharp as flash of pain crawled behind my left eye, and just like that… everything felt distant… muffled… as if I was sinking underwater.I blinked… slow… too slow.I remember hearing my heartbeat.I remember whispering Seven’s name.And then—Nothing.A blank space in my

    Main chapter 115Hours later, Tania and Lizzy had probably gone out because I heard the front door shut loudly with Lizzy screaming down her lungs saying see you later after we all had that long conversation that ended with the two of them, trying to calm my racing heart down. Cause I couldn’t stop talking about Trisha. What if he was truly lying to go see one of those numerous girls that loves being all over him.After all, they’re better women with conception ability.So for the past two hours the house have been quiet. With the wind blowing down it’s breeze and flipping my chiffon curtains.I crossed my legs over each other, sitting on my soft mattress, staring blankly at the walls of my room. The photograph still burned in my mind — the boy, the younger version of me, the family smiling like nothing could ever go wrong. I pressed my palms to my face, trying to make sense of it all.A soft knock on the door made me start.“Starr? You in there?”I recognized the voice immedia

    The Next Morning 🌅The sunlight spilled through the sheer curtains, painting soft golden patterns across the bed. My head still ached faintly, but the dizziness had eased. I reached for my phone and blinked at the time — 7:43 a.m.Seven wasn’t beside me. His side of the bed was empty, the sheets already cool. I sat up, rubbing my temples as flashes of last night returned — the nausea, the photo, the haunting sense that something was slipping through my fingers.The faint sound of voices drifted from downstairs. I slipped into one of Seven’s shirts and padded barefoot toward the stairs. Halfway down, I stopped.He was on the phone again.“…I told you I’ll take care of it,” he said, his tone clipped. “No, she doesn’t know anything yet. And she won’t — not until I’m ready to have that discussion with her.”My breath caught.There was a long pause before he spoke again, softer this time. “I made a promise, and I intend to keep it. Even if it costs me.”“Moreover, I’m not still sure about

    Days Later ⏱The last three days have been nothing short of blissful. Sometimes, I still catch myself smiling for no reason — just thinking about everything that’s happened.Seven and I finally went to Nigeria to see my father. It had been almost a year since I last saw him, and as the car pulled into our compound, a wave of memories came rushing back — childhood laughter, long evenings under the mango tree, and the sound of his voice calling me “my sunshine.”He was already waiting on the veranda when we arrived. The moment he saw me step out of the car, he opened his arms wide, and I ran straight into them. His familiar scent — a mix of aftershave and home — wrapped around me like comfort.“Daddy,” I whispered, smiling through tears.“My daughter,” he said softly, holding me tighter. “You’ve grown into everything your mother once dreamed you’d be.”Then he looked at Seven, who stood a few steps away, waiting respectfully. My father’s eyes softened even more.“And you must be t

    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 e

    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

    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
