ALEXANDER WALTERSAs I drove back home from the snooker place, the words of our conversation with Nathan echoed in my mind.I tried to brush them off, but they lingered like an unwelcome shadow. Despite my determination to stand my ground, his doubts planted a seed of uncertainty in my heart.Nathan's words played on repeat, reminding me of my Playboy past and how I used to pride myself on never getting attached. I had built a reputation, and my friends expected me to maintain it. But with Katherine, everything had changed, and I couldn't ignore the emotions that now consumed me.As I stopped at a red light, I let out a frustrated sigh. It was true; I had been an asshole in the past, using girls and never caring about the consequences of my actions. But Katherine was different. She made me want to be a better person, to be worthy of her affection and love.I couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt at the thought that even my friends doubted my capacity to change. Did they see me as inca
KATHERINE I ran as fast as my legs could carry me out of Alex's apartment and sped into my car. I turned on the ignition and drove off quickly. From my rear mirror, I could see Alexander running after me and calling my name, but I didn't want to stop. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I was crying and my makeup was starting to become a mess. But I couldn't hold back the tears, I had to let them flow freely. Why did Alexander ask me to be his girlfriend? I wasn't ready for such a confession and neither do I think I'm ready to become his girlfriend yet. I had not expected that he would confess his feelings to me. But that didn't change the fact that I was madly in love with him, I loved him dearly. But I was still not ready to be his girlfriend, not yet. In fact, I would've rejected him right there on the spot, but my heart wouldn't have been able to stomach the reaction on his face. So that was why I ran away. And now, I was on my way to Katie's house because there was a l
ALEXANDER WALTERS My heart raced as I stood outside Katie's house, my phone pressed against my ear. I had answered the call without really thinking, assuming it was Katherine reaching out to talk. But then I heard their voices, Katherine's and Katie's, and I realized that I was eavesdropping on a private conversation. I hesitated, feeling guilty for unintentionally invading their privacy, but something made me keep listening.Katherine's voice came through the phone as she spoke to Katie. "You remember when we made that plan for me to date Alexander for revenge."I felt like the world had stopped around me. Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I gripped the phone tighter, my heart pounding in my chest.My grip on the phone loosened, and I felt a sinking feeling in my chest. They had made a promise—a bet. I quickly disconnected the call, my heart heavy with a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion. I leaned against the side of the house, my mind racing. How could I have been so foo
KATHERINE THRONES I drove back to the apartment complex, my heart racing with anticipation, fear, and excitement as well. The cool evening breeze swept through my hair as I navigated the familiar streets. I couldn't believe I had finally mustered the courage to confess my true feelings to Katie. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest, and for the first time in a while, I felt genuinely free.She was my best friend, after all, and she deserved to know the truth. It was so hurtful and stressful hiding it from her. It was a relief to have her support, even though I knew she was still processing everything.As I parked my car and made my way to Alexander's apartment, a sense of nervous excitement coursed through me. I wanted to make things right, to show him that my feelings were genuine. I wanted to apologize for running away and accept to be his girlfriend for real this time. I wanted this. I wanted to be his own. I wanted to be his girlfriend. I knocked on the door a
Prologue Have you wondered what it feels like for the famous arrogant playboy in school to have your interest at hand? that’s my case. A quiet geek like me trying my best to live through my college days having the best grades and graduating as the best graduating medical student in the school, all was to be achieved low-key. The formation of my focus was lost when I coincidentally, No—accidentally met Alexander Walter by bumping his shoulder with mine; In all my attempts and reattempt to avoid his presence and existence, it all was In vain. Alas to myself; Why does it have to be the rudest and most troublesome man? The promiscuous one per se, with all the warnings from folks, I couldn’t manage to avoid and escape him, how faith arranged everything. Why wasn't it someone else, why must it be Alexander Walter? “I – I – I am sorry,” I apologized softly look
{katherine Thrones}The blaring sound of the alarm woke me up from my sleep, checking the time it was 5 am. I am duty-bound to help with the house chores, today, my sheer intention is to make the best breakfast ever tasted.My eyes reached an enlarged photo of myself. My name is Katherine thrones, I am eighteen years old, living under the single parenting of my Mom. My dad abandoned us when I was four, leaving my mum to take care of me alone.She used to be a stay-at-home mum but when my dad left she had to get herself some job to help sponsor my academics and upkeep.I have been living in hell ever since dad left, I was being pressured by mum to study so hard that I would end up being a well-developed girl and have a well-paid job and I won’t have to depend on any man to get myself income.With that, my leisure time was always interrupted, I don’t engage in any social events, not
{Katherine}‘Katherine Thrones please come to the chancellor's office,' the voice on the intercom announced for the third time. Mrs. Jones was lecturing us about the structures of humans, she was our anatomy lecturer and I loved everything about her, especially her teaching methods. It was well understood and she gives a theoretical explanation too.“Miss Thrones you heard the announcement, you are needed,” Mrs. Jones said and I frowned, having to miss this class means extra studies for me and also borrowing my friend’s notebook.I got up slowly from my seat as I sluggishly walked towards the door of the classroom, hoping for Mrs. Jones to tell me to answer the call after her class but she said nothing and I knew she wasn’t going to call me back and I needed to hurry up and meet the chancellor so that I can come back to the class before it was over.
{Katherine Thrones}When the honk of the truck dad had rented interrupted what I was doing at 10 o’clock in the morning, I hurried out of the house, a smile on my face, to greet the driver.“Good day, sir.” I greeted him with a bright smile on my face.“Good morning, ma’am. I’m guessing you’re Kathrine Thrones?” I nodded as he handed me a card with my name and address on it. “Whew, I’m happy. I thought I was lost for a second. I’m here to transport your belongings to your apartment,” he stated politely, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the way he talked. He sounded French but had a Turkish accent, which made his English sound different from other French and Turkish people I’d met.I showed him where my boxes and luggage were, and he started taking them out while rushing upstairs to finish packing up the remainder of my belongings.Mum wasn’t there; she had l
