Semua Bab Forced Affair : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Beatrice frowned, clutching her tote bag tighter to her arm as she saw a strange car parked outside her bungalow apartment.Her heart started beating faster as she took slow steps, hoping that it wasn't who she thought it was. She had no idea who the car belonged to but there was a chauffeur standing outside the car, just by the door to the driver's seat. She didn't know much about cars but she knew it was a luxurious one.The plan was to ignore and go straight into her apartment like she saw nothing but Bea was forced to stop in her tracks when the driver opened the door to the back seat and then she saw an awfully familiar face come out of the car.She sighed internally, wondering what was happening."Beatrice, please wait up!" The voice came through before Bea could get to her door. She obeyed and turned around as the person approached her.Even by her appearance, it was evident that she didn't belong to this community. Bea was sure the designer dress, heels, jewelry, and handbag s

“Please don’t start, Ri.”“I already put up the disclaimer that I hate to say this.”“I mean, of all the women in the world, he keeps coming back to you. One would assume he would let go of you since the date night but turns out that the thought of you keeps driving him crazy.”“It’s just an obsession. He will be over me in no time.”“It’s been over a month since you guys met. I don’t think obsession lasts for that long.”“Then that would be so sad because there is no way that I’m ever going to have anything to do with him. Even if he was to be the last man on earth.”“I understand you, Babe. His actions are totally unforgivable.”“Gina was here to apologize on his behalf. She also extended an invitation for her daughter’s wedding.”“What? She invited you to Anita’s wedding?”“You know her daughter’s name? What are you again, a stalker?”“Come on, Bea, you would know that I’m not a stalker if you had an active social media life. The wedding has been the talk of the town for months now

“So you eventually showed up?” Carlos said in disbelief, sighting Daniel.Raising her head, the smile on Beatrice’s face faded the moment she sighted him.“Why won’t I? It’s my sister’s wedding remember?” he answered, trying to stay settled when in fact, he felt so much discomfort inside of him. He saw Carlos and Beatrice talking and laughing so freely earlier on and that angered him a lot because he never got to experience that sweet gesture with her. Rather, they were always on bad terms. And the fear of Beatrice liking his cousin was slowly starting to eat him up.“For someone who swore not to show up, it’s nice to see that you do not keep to your word. Remind me not to ever take you seriously again.”Daniel ignored Carlos and all that he was saying and turned his attention to the lady beside him who seemed very shocked by his presence.”“Hi, Beatrice.” He voiced out, staring intently at her.“You two know each other?” Carlos asked, looking from Beatrice to Daniel and then back to

After a couple of minutes of searching, Carlos finally found Rita having conversations with some familiar faces.“Oh Hi, Where’s Beatrice?” She asked as he pulled her away from where she was, the smile slowly leaving her face.“She left.”“She left? Did she feel sick again? I told her to come to me if she feels sick.”“She was sick?” Carlos asked.“Yes, she was not feeling good this morning but she came because I really wanted to be here.”“I should get going.”“I’m confused because we were really having a good time. Or do you need me to come with you?”“There’s no need. We will probably head to the Doctors. Besides, this is your party and you need to be here.”“If you insist. But please let me have your phone.”Rita brought out her phone from her purse and handed it to him.He punched his number in and saved it.“Feel free to give me a call. I can always come to check up on her once the party is over.” He said, returning her phone.Rita smiled. “You are sweet. Thank you.”“I will tak

Three Days Later“What’s wrong, Honey? You’ve been acting strange all day.” Barack placed a kiss on Gina’s cheek before taking a seat beside her.“We planned to go on a vacation after Anita gets married but you’ve not said a word about it since the wedding which is so unlike you. Anything the matter?” He stared at his wife curiously.“Nothing honey. We will still go for the vacation. There’s just something bothering me.”“I’m listening.” Barack encouraged her to say whatever was on her mind.“It’s about Daniel.”“You are this sad because of him? Why?”“Honey, I made you understand that you need to let him be. Dan is grown enough to handle himself and the consequences of his actions.”“Let me guess? He has done something absurd again?”“I don’t know if it’s right to term it that way.”“You wanna talk about it?”“Dan might have gotten a girl pregnant.”Barack smiled, “Natalie?”“Wait, is that why she couldn’t make it to Anita’s wedding? Is she sick?”Gina sighed. “Life would have been s
