Hearken Chapter 21: Symptoms Of Love
I was behind the wheels when I reduced the speed and allowed Somidah to zoom past me. She was so excited about winning the car race that, she stopped in front of my apartment and came down to welcome me. “I won!” she screeched, raising both hands in the air in excitement. “Yeah, yeah! How did you do that?” I pointed, faking a surprise. “Are you taking driving classes again?” “No, it’s just an improvement.” She joked, and I blushed at her words. “Well, I’m impressed. Let’s go in.” I told her as we drove into my compound, stopping the cars in front of my house instead of the parking lot. Excited, we got in and I walked towards one of the inbuilt fridge, getting a bottle of fruit juice for her. I closed the fridge and a thought of Adam closing it behind me came up. Shaking off the pestering thoughts from my mind, I closed my eyes to a sudden headache that hit me hard. “Evelyn!” Somidah called, throwing her handbag on the middle table. Her smile dropped while watching me from the di
Hearken Chapter 20: Just Leave Me Alone
I was typing a document when three soft knocks came on the door. “Yes, come in.” I replied, and the door opened. It was Oaklyn. She had a navvy blue, A-line shirt and a white elbow-sleeved shirt on with her hair packed in a low ponytail. She walked up to me, placing a load of file on my desk. “Go through this, ma. And I also want to remind you about the meeting at 11:00 a.m.” “Ugh!” I stopped typing, raising my head up a bit. A pain stuck through me, hearing her last words. “What is it, ma’am? Is everything alright?” She pulled closer to me in concern, and I paused a hand up to stop her. She might end up hugging me if I don’t. I dropped my hand from my forehead and rolled my eyes at her, disgustingly. “I’m fine, okay?” my lips quirked to the side as I ordered. “I won’t be able to attend that meeting. Tell Mr. Desmond to attend to the customers and... I don’t want any guests as well. Cancel my appointments for today and tomorrow.” “Okay, ma.” With folded lips, bowed in response
Hearken Chapter 19: Heartbreak
Please guys, for Adam's sake. Listen to 'treat you better' by Shawn Mendez as you read this chapter. ***Back home, it was already midnight. Adam took off his Patek Philippe silver wristwatch and thew it on the table but it fell against the marble floor. It gave a disturbing creak. He walked up to it and it’s case, crystal and crown was already broken. Heated, a hand scratched his head, thinking of how she smile at Luke’s presence. 'Was it jealousy? Did I overreact? No, I didn’t! I am a man and she should respect me. That was not a coincidence.' “All ladies are freaking the same!” He spat in anger. “Her ex visited us in the restaurant she picked. Am I a child? Eve freaking embarrassed me in public, as if I was nothing. I feel like a fool to have thought she want me.” Adam hissed out loud, pissed at himself. He fell back to a chair beside the bed to think. ‘Why do I have to break my sim card? Maybe I overreacted a little. I do not know what her phone number is.’ Adam tapped his fe
Hearken Chapter 18: The Devil's Intervention
Please, guys. Listen to 'let me down slowly' by Alec Benjamin as you read this chapter. Who does the song fit? Adam or Evelyn?***Luke pulled on my cheek, stroking it like a baby, and I tilted to the side to get off his touch."I did not know I would find you here today! And we're both wearing black!" He pointed out. "My mind told me earlier that if I meet you here, you'll be in a black dress and heels. I guess I wasn't wrong, after all! Anyway, you look so chic... Um." He paused for a while, looking at Adam, then at me. "Is this your son?" "He's my nephew!" A wide, fake smile followed my reply. Looking at Adam, he firmly folded his lips, painfully. I could see anger burning through his eyes, but he held it in. Adam was man enough not to react. Somewhere in me prayed he wouldn't. "Aw! What a cute boy?" Luke tickled with his clean shaved beard that was grown enough to feel. He pinched on it gently, fingerings his beard and crackling in laughter like a fool that he was. Some other c
Hearken Chapter 17: Eve On A Date With Adam
“When a man is at peace, they go wherever their heart is. If you give Adam peace of mind, he would cherish you, but you are always bragging. I don’t want to lose my boyfriend. I don’t want to lose my boyfriend!” Hazel mimicked with raised shoulders, showing how proud Alice used to be. “Haven’t you lost your boyfriend now?”“Lose him? I would not lose him in Jesus’ name! Why are you talking like this?” Alice asked as her eyes begged Hazel for answers. “Have I lost him? Is he dating someone else now? Is Adam totally over me already?” She panicked while Jane calmly watched the both of them with folded arms on the bed. She was a grave, not interrupting their talk. “I don’t know... You think he won’t date someone else? The guy you said was cheating on you when you were together, he’s a free man now. I don’t know who he’s dating, however.” Hazel assured. “But I’m sure that he already has someone he’s into.” “Please, when talking to Noah, tell him I’m a changed person.” Alice pleaded with
Hearken Chapter 16: An Unexpected Visitor
The door knob pushed and pull in a flash and I gasped up at once. It’s a good thing Adam locked the door after he entered. ‘Knock-Knock-Knock!!’“What’s that... Whose there?” I breathed, pushing Adam up so he leaves. I can’t believe it settled Adam right now. It did not even move him. “Get up!” I whispered, pushing him up with all the strength left in me, but he wouldn’t even move.“There’s someone at the door. Leave!”“What?” He replied, and I cupped his mouth. “What are you so scared of?” ‘Knock-Knock-Knock!!!’“Who’s that?” “It’s me, mum!” I heard and my heart dropped at once. “It’s Hazel... She shouldn’t know.” Adam made very firm eye contact while I glared at him. “Just hide in my restroom for a moment!” I demanded with serious, unblinking eyes. ‘Knock-Knock-Knock!!!’ The knocks came again. Louder and faster this time. She must be in a hurry. “Give me a moment!” I yelled at her and turned back to Adam with pleading eyes. “Are you saying we should keep this a secret?” A
