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 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 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
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 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
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
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
