Semua Bab The Deceiver's Handbook: Bab 11 - Bab 20

I rolled myself over the bed and picked up my smartwatch which I'd placed on the wooden stool next to my bed to check the time and it read 6:30pm. I rubbed my sleepy eyes with my palm, trying to get them to be clear and I hurriedly got out of the bed, taking off my boxers which was the only clothing article I had on. I scurried to the bathroom which was located in my room for convenience. I pushed down the lever to open the door and I quickly turned on the shower and got into it.I was usually very careful and paid attention to details whenever I took my bath because a clear skin was luxury for me, but today I had less than thirty minutes to get seated at the table with Nicole and she was always on time.I hastily poured in a few drops of shower gel into my sponge and scrubbed my skin like my life depended on it. Nicole said she hated boys but envied them a lot because they could be so rough on their skin and still have it crystal clear and glowing.While it was true for me, that wa

Brittany’s POVAs I settled to have my breakfast for the day, I suddenly began to feel uneasy within myself. Since 8am when I arrived at the shop, I'd been so busy sorting orders and attending to walk-in clients that I barely had the time to sit, not to mention feed.My doctor had given out a stern warning that I do not miss breakfast but I still found it hard to keep up with that rule because my first meals always ended up being somewhere between breakfast and lunch, which most people called brunch. I took out my cutleries to devour the meal after dishing out my smoking hot rice and salmon on the ceramics plate, but I still felt a little unrest, my intuition suggesting to me that something was wrong.I knew never to shove off my gut feeling as it was never wrong so I picked up my phone to call May. As I unlocked it, I was greeted with four missed calls from her about an hour ago.Today was supposed to be the day she met with Peter, her ex’s dad, and I hoped those monsters had done

Drew’s POV“Sheena, I am already on my…” I tried to say but the call was terminated abruptly as I spoke, almost driving me crazy.I transferred my frustration to my steering wheel, banging it as hard as I could. “How dare she turn me around and play me like a basketball? Was I a joke to her? Didn’t she think I had better things to do?” I asked myself over again.I bent my head over, staring at my feet and burning with frustration as I tried to fathom my next course of action. For the umpteenth time, I hated myself for letting her into my life. It wasn’t all that good before her, but I could say for sure that I’d never known peace ever since she came into the topic. I would have probably just been mourning the loss of a love that I thought would last for a lifetime, but here I was battling with a toxic woman and still having to be stuck with her because according to my oppressors, “they make the rules and I don’t get to choose”.As I reflected on my terrible life choices, I genuinely

May’s POVI tried to lift my body from the seemingly soft and bouncy surface on which it lay but I was greeted with a sharp pain from the side of my ribs.I opened my eyes, my sight as blurry as a foggy window. The room I was in was all white and as quiet as a graveyard. I tilted my head to the left side of my bed, trying to check if there was someone here with me and my eyes met with a head bowed, and resting on a table surface just by the side of my bed. I tried to grasp a proper look at the face of the individual who sat there but it was almost impossible, except for the ear and a few strands of grey hair which I could see. I tried in vain again to lift my left arm but I felt a restraining order on it. I shot a glare at it, trying to unravel the cord that bound it and the individual who held it.Lo! I beheld a transparent rope; a closer look at it from the side of my eyes and I realized that it was a drip connected to my arm.I jerked off the bed realizing that I lay on a hospit

May’s POVI held Kelly by her hands, looking deeply into her eyes and still in awe of her new look. My sister had changed so much and realizing it brought tears to my eyes. I let them flow freely as I threw my arms across her shoulders, hugging her from the side because of my bump.“You look so different now, in a good way,” I said to her, and she smiled with her eyes covered in tears as well.“Who would have thought Kelly could put on some weight and gain some boobies? Motherhood has been far from easy but I've been loving every single aspect of it,” she said.I looked over to Nelly who was holding her baby. I moved to her and held her from behind, and then I reached for the baby.“Look at you, so gorgeous from head to toe, Harrison is doing you real good,” I said, and she bursted out into a round of laughter.“You can say that again, he’s been so supportive and such a great parent and I'm so grateful for that,” she responded. “I'm so proud of you my sisters, you two made very beau
