Chapter 21

The two older men shared a hearty laugh, but Catalina's expression remained resolute, her irritation evident."Oh, darling," Frank's tone softened, a fatherly concern evident in his gaze. "You need to let go and move on from D'Andre. He's going to be a father now, moving on a new chapter of his life as he should, and as you should too."Catalina's frustration simmered just below the surface as she retorted, "I thought discussing 'that thing' wasn't allowed here."The topic shifted as Kendrick inquired, "So, what brings you to our domain, Catalina?"Catalina's eyes briefly flickered to her father before answering, "I walked out of the classroom. The air-conditioner broke down during the discussion. It's sweltering in there.""Consider it done, my dear. I'll have it fixed immediately," Frank assured her with a fatherly smile. "We can't have you fuming in a hot classroom.""Sounds better than fixing my anger issues towards that fucking Taylor ‘cause that would be a whole other challenge.

Chapter 22

The evening was alive with anticipation as D'Andre arrived at the event, the grand banner announcing the guest speakers, Mr. Frank and Mr. Kendrick, catching his eye. It was a prestigious gathering, one that held the promise of networking opportunities and forging connections that could propel his career to greater heights.Adjusting his tie with a final glance in the rearview mirror, he stepped out of his car. But his anticipation was short-lived as another vehicle abruptly pulled up, and D'Andre's irritation flared. He waited impatiently to see who it was, and as the sleek car door opened, he recognized the familiar figure that emerged.Taylor, ever the embodiment of nonchalance, strolled out of the car, casually removing his black shades. "Well, well, well, it looks like the CEO's son decided to grace us with his presence," he remarked with a smirk.D'Andre couldn't help but chuckle. "With you around, trouble always finds a way, doesn't it?"Taylor's response was a nonchalant shrug

Chapter 23

Maiari sat in her room, a sense of unease gnawing at her. D'Andre had assured her repeatedly that Catalina wouldn't be attending the event. But still, doubts lingered in her mind like stubborn shadows refusing to dissipate.Her thoughts drifted back to earlier in the evening when she had helped D'Andre choose the perfect suit for the event. As he had buttoned up his crisp white shirt, she couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on her."Who else will you be with tonight?" Maiari's voice had been gentle, cautious.D'Andre, busy adjusting his tie, had paused for a moment, his brow furrowing in thought. "Honestly, I'm not sure. Mr. Frank didn't mention anyone else. Maybe just some of his colleagues."Maiari had felt a pang of doubt but had chosen to keep it to herself. After all, Catalina was Mr. Frank's daughter, and it was entirely possible that she wouldn't be present at the event. She had silently continued helping D'Andre, making sure every detail of his outfit was

"Someone's hitting on you?" D'Andre's curiosity was piqued once again. "Really? Who is it?"Catalina held back a mischievous grin. "I'm not ready to reveal that just yet. But let's just say it's been a pleasant surprise."D'Andre chuckled, genuinely happy for her. "That's great to hear, Cat. You deserve happiness."Their conversation took a more serious turn as Catalina's expression became earnest. "D'Andre, promise me something."He nodded, his gaze fixed on her. "Anything.""Take care of Maiari, and love her more than anyone else. She's a wonderful person, and you two are perfect for each other."D'Andre's eyes softened with sincerity. "I promise, Catalina. I love Maiari deeply, and I'll always do my best to make her happy."Catalina's focus then shifted to another topic—one that intrigued D'Andre. "By the way, have you heard about our fathers' plans for a new company?"D'Andre's brows furrowed in surprise. "A new company? My dad hasn't mentioned anything about that."Catalina nodde

Chapter 25

As they emerged from the bathroom, Catalina still had a playful glint in her eye, her earlier bout of dizziness seemingly forgotten. She playfully blamed her heels for the momentary lapse in balance, her tone teasing. "Oh, I just said you should be careful," D'Andre quipped, amusement dancing in his eyes.Catalina, ever the spirited conversationalist, shot back, "I'm okay, Drey. Maybe the problem is my heels."D'Andre couldn't help but chuckle at her quick retort. "Tsk, oh come on, Cat. Don't blame the shoes. You're drunk, admit it."“I am not.” Catalina snickered, slightly hitting D’Andre on his chest.D'Andre, however, wasn't going to let her off the hook that easily. He chuckled, shaking his head. "Come on, Cat, I said don't blame the shoes. We both know the real culprit here."Catalina, always one to hold her ground, grinned mischievously. "Oh, please, Drey, I've got this. Watch me."Their banter continued as they made their way back to their table, their laughter echoing through

Chapter 26

Maiari's heart ached at his endearment. She had always been a sucker for his sweet words, his charming gestures. But tonight was different. She couldn't bear to look into his eyes, to confront the lies that lay beneath the surface. "I'm okay," she replied tersely, offering no further explanation. Without another word, she turned and made her way upstairs to their bedroom. D'Andre watched her retreating figure, a knot of unease settling in the pit of his stomach. He knew he had some explaining to do, but he needed a moment to gather his thoughts. "I'll follow," he finally said, offering a feeble excuse about needing a shower. Alone in the bedroom, Maiari couldn't contain the tears any longer. They flowed freely, her body shaking with the weight of her emotions. She had trusted D'Andre with her heart, had believed in their love, and yet he had betrayed her trust once again. The pain was unbearable, the feeling of betrayal like a dagger through her chest. She thought back to the beginn

Rumors had always been a constant presence in the hallowed halls of Summerfield University. Gossip thrived like wildfire, fanned by the whispers and hushed conversations that buzzed beneath the surface of campus life. But this time, the rumors weren't about a professor's secret rendezvous or a student's wild party. No, this time it was something bigger, something that would send shockwaves through the prestigious institution.It all started innocently enough, with a single picture. A candid shot taken on campus, capturing a moment between D'Andre and Maiari. It was an image filled with tenderness, one that should have been a testament to young love. But in the unforgiving world of social media, appearances could be deceiving, and it wasn't long before the photo was taken out of context.Within hours, the image had spread like wildfire, finding its way into the feeds and messages of students across the campus. Speculation ran rampant, fueled by the relentless churning of the rumor mill

Chapter 28

As the final bell chimed, signaling the end of another long day at Summerfield University, D'Andre couldn't help but feel a gnawing unease in the pit of his stomach. Maiari occupied his thoughts, her absence from his life casting a shadow that he couldn't ignore.Exiting the university grounds, he climbed into his car, a sleek black sedan that usually filled him with a sense of pride. Today, however, the vehicle's plush leather seats and polished interior felt empty, devoid of the laughter and conversations that usually accompanied his drives.Traffic in the bustling city was its usual chaotic self, a seemingly endless sea of vehicles inching forward in an elaborate dance of impatience. D'Andre sighed and leaned back in his seat, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel to the rhythm of a song playing softly on the radio. But even the soothing melody couldn't chase away the turbulent thoughts that swirled in his mind.The events of the day played on a loop in his thoughts, like a mov

Aunt Daisy, yes, it’s her, she’s calling.D'Andre remained in the dimly lit car, the silence on the other end of the phone echoing in his ears. He couldn't quite believe what happened to Maiari. It had been a whirlwind of emotions, with worriment, frustration, and sadness all tangled up together.Aunt Daisy's initial greeting had been kind, her voice carrying the weight of a concerned family member. It was as though she knew something was amiss, something that needed immediate attention. D'Andre couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for involving her in their issues. "I don't know, Auntie. Is she there?" he had asked, his voice trembling slightly. He desperately wanted to know where Maiari was, to hear her voice and understand what had led to this sudden change in their relationship."Well, whatever the issue is, if it can still be resolved, work it out," Aunt Daisy had advised, her words measured and wise. Her soothing tone had momentarily calmed his racing thoughts, but that tranq

“Wow! A meeting!” D'Andre couldn't help but roll his eyes at the cruel timing. His voice, laced with frustration, betrayed his exasperation. "Seriously, Dad? Right now?" he retorted in full dismay.In the digital silence that followed, a parade of city sounds serenaded D'Andre's ears—the loud sound of car horns, the distant hum of sirens, and the occasional chattering of pedestrians on the bustling sidewalks. The city itself seemed indifferent to his internal turmoil.Mr. Kendrick's response, when it came, was measured and brimming with paternal wisdom. "Sometimes, son, we need to give Maiari space to unwind and think things through. Pressuring her won't help, and you might risk complicating things for our future grandchild. Let her cool down, and I promise you, her anger will fade. You don't want to jeopardize our grandchild's well-being by stressing her out."D'Andre's grip tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles white with tension. His father's words resonated in the air, mer
