LOGINGarvin’s pov Within a short time, l came out of the bathroom and headed straight to the closet, picking out a belty trouser and black polo. What was it he said again? “Look responsible for my feet,” l murmured beneath my breath.At this point, l don't give a damn of how l look, I'm done pretending to be what I'm not. I grabbed out my wallet and slipped into my half-cover black shoes, added some light cologne and made my way downstairs. I already know how uncomfortable it is going to be… being on a long drive with the most annoying father in the world. As l made my way downstairs.. I saw both of my parents seated patiently in the living room.Gosh, they are so damn serious in getting me engaged. I mumbled, as l walked towards mom. “What took you so long? ” Dad muttered. “l was just two minutes late,” l responded instantly. “Two minutes or not, you are late and l don't tolerate lateness, not even from my own son.” he shot back. “That's enough children,” mom cut in, as she moved
Garvin’s pov After dropping them off at their various homes, l headed straight to the house… I needed to just have a little thought on everything they said so far. Even though l acted not to have paid attention to what Mia was saying…. but still, she has a point in a way. I can't just sit and do nothing about it. This isn't how l wanted my life to go, not even the kind of marriage l wanted for myself. I just have to do something about it, this family doesn't have a god-damn right over my life… but before then, l have got to show that pathetic son of a bitch who he had just messed with. How could he snitch on me like that?I thought he was helping me to get rid of the engagement, l never knew he was just working for grandmother. Wow, impressive… a bit kind of tricky l would admit,” l cursed under my breath as l drove into the compound and parked the car, and went inside the house. “And where do you think you are coming from?” Dad asked, as l stepped in the living room. And what
Liam’s pov. “What the fuck is this person driving,“ Mia shot as she a step back. This obviously doesn't look like Garvin’s car, but who then would this be? I asked myself as l patiently waited for the owner of the car to come. Probably they are here to pick one of us, as we didn't even have any means of getting home. “Hey, guys… get in,” he uttered as he leaned his head outside his tinted window. “Garvin Fucking Reign!” Mia screamed out as she rushed down to the car, which l followed behind her “Garvin, how could you leave without telling me… where did you go?” Mia asked as she opened the back seat. “Here, get in the front seat, he is your man,” she teased as she winkled at me. I chuckled as l opened the front door… if only she knew we aren't even dating yet. “Mia, I'm sorry… l wanted to come by, but the driver got to my apartment before l would,” he tried to explain as we got into the car. “Hey,” he muttered as he glanced at me. I smirked back at him. “Hey,” l repeated, and
Liam’s pov What did l just hear?“Please, stop pulling my legs… are you guys in town?” l asked curiously. “Yes, Liam… and your mother hasn't rested ever since she came back… she has been in the kitchen for how long now,” my aunt giggled. “What the fucking shit…. are you guys kidding me, fuck!” l voiced out. “You know what? I'm gonna catch up with you guys as soon as possible, I'm going to board the next bus,” l chuckled. “Make sure you pack all your bags… and please, be careful,” mom, pointed out. “Yes, my love… see you soon,” l tittered, as l ended the call. I can't recall the last time l have ever been this happy in my life… hearing my mother's voice again felt like a spark into my life.Mom, l thought l was never going to you again,” l whispered to myself. Honestly, that was what l thought, because at some point in time.. she was never getting better. Every time l called, it felt like her condition was not improving, l lost the little hope that l had. Not until today, that
Liam’s pov “Neither are you doing this for your step-sister's sake,” she went on. “So, Liam tell me why you are damn hooked on helping him,” she rattled on. “Hey, listen… I don't get what you're trying to say, but one thing l know is that I'm doing this for the sake of my friends, and that includes you as well,” l muttered, as I fixed my gaze on hers. “Ohh, I'm moved,” she mocked. “Did you think, I'm going to buy that excuse of yours,” she snapped out. “You listen Liam.. I'm going to find out what you are hiding, and you better be lucky that l don't get a hold on it before you do,” she threatened. “Jackie, is this a threat?” l asked, in disbelief. “She chuckled. “No baby,” l mumbled. “lt's a challenge from me to you,” she responded with a smirk. “Jackie, you may find this funny.. but sincerely, this a fucking serious matter, which l supposed you should be aware of the consequences of it,” l bursted out. I just hope Jackie would reconsider her decision.“I'm sorry what? Do you
Garvin’s pov“What do you mean you can't get married to Jackie? Go ahead and explain why you think you can't get married to her” she gloated, as he leaned backwards towards the chair. “Dad….. I want you to understand that I'm not saying she isn't good for me,” l proceeded, “What I'm simply saying is that Jackie and l ain't made for each other… we are two different people,” l explained. He observed for a moment as though he was trying to get the truth out of me, before speaking. “Garvin…” he called out softly. “This is your chance to explain why you think that you Jackie aren't made for each other, or else you would forever hold your peace,” he uttered, as he carefully studied every gesture l made. Hmm… though, l didn't want to go deeper in telling him the status of our relationship.. I have done that once and it didn't go as l expected and telling dad about it now, who knows if his reaction is going to be worse than Jackie's own. But then, that might be the only way to set thin
Garvin’s pov I couldn't move, just stood there helpless, anger burning inside me. Those words echoing in my ears. “If you fail, the opportunity will move on”. Just like that, seven letter words broke me into pieces. The inheritance means a lot more to me. It's literally my freedom from being cap
Garvin’s pov Maybe or maybe not resisting isn't the point. I voiced to myself, as I watched Liam, holding unto me. Honestly, I have no idea of what I'm getting myself into. I know it is a bad idea. But, I think of it as being a hook up mate means no safety net, just bodies meeting and walking aw
Liam’s pov Fuck, I messed things up..It wasn't supposed to go down like that. I just wanted to flirt with him, so he would come begging for more…. Not to have a fucking sex with him. I wasn't met to fuck my sister's ex. Gosh, what have I done, how did we get here. I said to myself, as I grabbed
Garvin’s povI froze. My breath stuttered as Liam’s word echoed in my head, shattering the last sliver of sanity I was desperately holding onto. “Strip”.He said it so casually like it wasn't the most obscene thing he could ask at that moment. I knew I just made the biggest mistake of my life. H
