April's eyes widened out of their sockets as she broke the kiss and raised her hand but Lauren walked in immediately, so she dropped it.

“Were you crying?” Lauren asked, oblivious of the intended slap Lucas was about to receive. Lucas was surely grateful she walked in at the right time if not, April's palm would have decorated his face…why did he lose control?

April sniffed and Lauren moved forward to hug her, Lucas couldn't walk away, he was worried she'd talk about the kiss but she didn't ins

    [Silver Crest Academy]Friday afternoons were always the best time of the week at Silver Crest Academy, it was an entry into weekend of rest so corridors that had been purposeful all week became loose and loud. Bags were slung over shoulders at different angles and loud laughter came from everywhere at once.Gavin found April at her locker.He fell into step beside her as they walked the familiar route toward the library steps where they usually sat on Fridays to sketch before going their separate ways. For a while they were quiet till Gavin broke the silence."I need to ask you something."he started while April kept walking. "Okay.""What's going on with you and Mr. Lucas?"The question was surprising but she controlled her reaction. She didn't change her pace and didn't look at him. "Nothing. He's our teacher.""Substitute teacher," Gavin said. "For one term. And he looks at you like you're not his student.""Gavin…""I'm not trying to start anything." His voice was genuine, "I jus

    The Cole mansion in the evening carried its usual quiet. Amber stood at the window in the sitting room with her phone in her hand and her arms crossed. She looked disturbed, like she had been trying to ignore a feeling for days but it was going nowhere till she officially ran out of patience with herself.She paced around nervously, after trying Adrian's number four times today.She tried once more but it went straight to voicemail so she lowered the phone."He still hasn't answered?" Albert appeared in the doorway, his reading glasses pushed up on his forehead the way he wore them when he had given up on whatever he was reading."Not since Tuesday," Amber said, worried.Albert came further into the room. "He's going through a lot. Give the boy space.""I've been giving him space." Amber's voice was quieter than usual. "Albert, he's been through a divorce, he's been publicly humiliated, he was deceived about having a child and he lost the woman he…" She stopped. But she started again

    Morning arrived gently into the mansion, the kind of soft pale light that came through high windows and touched everything slowly. Ava lay still for a moment before opening her eyes properly.She stared at the ceiling and then she smiled as she pressed both palms to her face.She was in love with Damien Cole, quite alright but he had always loved her even before she noticed him. He was in love with her even when she felt that she was embarrassing herself. He didn't ruin her marriage with Adrian despite all he felt and he didn't even care about her childbirth condition, something that made Adrian choose the wrong path. Damien truly is the perfect man for her, why didn't she meet him first? Things would have been so much different. She heard movement downstairs that brought her back to reality, it was either the staffs resumed early or Damien was leaving his room.Whichever one, she still got up. —The kitchen felt different with the two of them in it now but not awkward. Damien was a

    Ava stood there, chest still heaving, her words were already out and floating between them.She has confessed her feelings and it was impossible to retrieve it now.She watched his face for something, anything, a reaction she could read and prepare for. But Damien's expression did what it always did and gave her nothing, and then he laughed."Crazy?" She askedAva’s chest caved. The humiliation was already spreading cold and fast. She stepped back because she needed to leave the room right now, she needed to…but Damien's hand caught her wrist making her stop."You know nothing about crazy, Ava." He muttered, his voice was different...softerIt was low as he spoke and the careful distance she had grown used to was simply gone, she felt completely rooted to the spot and couldn't move till he pulled her closer.The gasp she released was quiet and involuntary. She was close enough now to see exactly what was in his expression. Close enough that there was nowhere left for either of them to

    Two days later, the city felt like it was turning into fuzzy town, all because of the Greystone Charity Ball.The Greystone Charity Ball was one of the city's most anticipated events of the year. It was held annually at the Vantage Grand hotel. A hotel so ancient and so unapologetically beautiful that walking through its doors felt like stepping into a world that had decided effort was worth it. Every major name in business, fashion, medicine and old-money society passed through those doors every November and this year was no different.Except that this year, Ava Sterling walked in on Damien Cole's arm.She wore a midnight blue gown, sleeveless, with a deep cowl back and a skirt that moved like water when she walked. She had simple jewelry on and her hair was up. She had spent less time getting ready but was getting a lot of mouth-watering stares right from home.Damien was already in the foyer when she came downstairs, he was dressed in a black tuxedo, talking quietly to Lucas.

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Family Problem.

    By seven on Friday evening, students were dressed stylishly to attend the Freshers Night party for Silver Crest Academy which had been organized by a group of senior students whose collective ambition and their parents' collective wealth had combined to produce something genuinely impressive. They had taken over the rooftop of the Elara Boutique Hotel, two blocks away from the school, and filled it with fairy lights and a DJ and the kind of atmosphere that made everyone feel temporarily like a better version of themselves.Gavin came with April as his date, he had asked her four days ago and she had said yes because he was her friend and saying no would have required an explanation she wasn't ready to give.April was dressed and ready, she had silver earrings on and a black dress that she'd borrowed from Ava's wardrobe the last time she visited and had never quite returned. She looked good and she knew it and she told herself that had nothing to do with the fact that a certain subst
