This is the last Chapter of this book! It's done! I hope you all enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed making it. Even if it's delayed. Thank you all so much for your patience and support! By the way, for those who were asking, Brixton is a real person, and so is Rian, my ex, but different names. Like the story, we're good friends now, but we both decided to fix ourselves first. In God's perfect time, we'll be happy with whoever God gives us. Whether we'll get married, or find someone else. I just hope that like Shyne, I'll live as happy in this life as God let's me. By my faith. Rian's mom is doing fine despite the tragedy.
"One more drink. Come on, you can't be that weak." I said to my friend as I downed another shot of alcohol from my own glass. "I'll drink that if you say pass, but I'd call you weak for the rest of the year." I watched my friend sway out of drunkenness."You know your father would shoot you dead on the spot if he sees you drunk, Shyne. He'll never forgive his perfect daughter if he finds her messing around with us." My classmate said as he slyly tried to grope one of my best friends, who was a little too drunk for my liking."Keep your hands to yourself, KP. I'll break that faster than you can drink that shot." I said in a playful yet warning tone. He reluctantly removed his hand from my friend's thigh and fixed his own school uniform.We finished drinking just enough to mak
"Are you sure you want to go to Rian? You can just break up with him through text or call. I mean, everyone does that these days." Perry said after I told her of my mother's ultimatum."You know I can't do that. The guy is too obsessed with me, and I have something to tell him in private too." She looked at me as if I grew two heads."Don't tell me you're pregnant." I raised an eyebrow and shook my head in denial. "You BETTER not be pregnant, Shyne. Your mom and dad will shoot you. Oh my goodness, you said he respects you. I mean-""I am not pregnant, okay? I just need to talk to him, because as far as I know, the guy is too obsessed, and I don't need a future stalker." We laughed as I went straight to Rian's house after school.
I suddenly woke up screaming. It was all just a nightmare within another nightmare. Rian was nowhere near me, and I wasn't in my room or the flat. However, I was at the library this time, and my classmates looked at me with weird expressions while the others shushed me. I shakingly took all of my things and walked out of the library with hurried footsteps while avoiding everyone in the hallways."You should really consider getting slimmer before you accidentally injure someone when you bump into them." A voice said as big hands held both my arms to stop me from mindlessly running away from the library. I looked up and saw dark eyes staring at me, filled with worry."What happened? Why are you running away? Did something happen? Was it a bad dream again?" Randy asked as he led me to the nearest b
"I love it when you play hard to get with me, my love." Rian's voice echoed as I kept running away from him. The trees were getting thicker and thicker, and I couldn't seem to lose him even if I tried. "You'll never lose me. You're mine, and I will never let you go." The voice was getting louder and louder.I could see lights from cars passing by in the distance, and I assumed it was a road up ahead. I could feel the air thicken, and I couldn't breathe. Rian's footsteps were getting closer, and I heard twigs breaking behind me. I finally reached the road, and I ran directly to the car."Please let me in! A guy is chasing after me! Please open the door now!" I kept hitting the glass as the fog thickened and the driver opened the door. "Thank you! Oh, my goddess! Thank you so much! Please get me out of here!" I stuttered breathlessly a
I kicked my leg hard, and I saw the rat flying across the room and ran outside of my open door. Perry screamed harder, and I was left in shock. My heart was beating like crazy, and I felt like the world was spinning as I lay back slowly on my bed. "What the heck happened to you, Shyne?" Perry asked worriedly but softly. "I think the entire flat could hear you. They might think I'm trying to commit murder here. Did you dream of him again?" She was rubbing my arm to soothe me while I continued to stare at the ceiling. "Perry, I cannot believe that this is happening to me. I made a mistake in the past, but I never expected to be tortured this much". My tears were now falling, and my throat felt like it was burning as I tried my best to tell Perry every det
In the morning, I woke up tired and felt terrible due to stress and lack of sleep. I was inside the publication office with my juniors while recalling the day I confronted her mother about her possible pregnancy.Flashback…I came back home late and saw my mother, Lyna De Leon, in the living room. My mother looked like she wanted to explode, but she bit her tongue since my siblings were there. I could feel the dread that she perfectly hid. I felt the same as I looked at her composed face. The seemingly collected woman understood complicated cases, yet she failed to understand her daughter.“Why are you late? Where were you? I can't contact you for hours, and the security guard back in your school said you left after lunch” There was venom laced in her word
“Wow, sis, talk about obsession. We’re going to need a full-on food date today just to piece all of the puzzles together.” We rode in my car and went to the mall to talk and shop at the same time.“I can’t believe that out of all the guys that you’ve dated, you landed a voodoo addict for a stalker. I mean, I knew you were wild, but I would have never imagined you were wild enough to bag the spawn of Satan’s heart”. Perry tried to lighten up the mood, and I couldn’t help but smile at the support system that I had.“So what did you tell mom and dad for them to let their youngest child come all the way here without a bodyguard?” I’ve noticed; these past few months that the secret bodyguards my parents appointed to tail me, became lesser in numbers, and I assumed Izz
"Please tell me I'm dreaming right now, and this is not real. Please tell me Rian didn't commit suicide," I felt like I could faint, and all I could hear was my ragged breathing and loud heartbeat. "This is all my fault, and I know he wouldn't have killed himself if I didn't leave him." "Shyne, calm down and breathe," Perry held my arm, and Izzy took away my phone. "Don't faint on us, Shyne. You need to calm yourself down and remember that his decision to kill himself was his own choice. Do you hear me, Shyne?" I heard Perry's words, but my vision was getting blurry, and I did my best to avoid passing out completely. Tears kept falling from my eyes as realization dawned on me. "Perry, he killed himself because of me. He killed himself because of me, and he even dared t
