CHAPTER 71

IRISHI knew I needed to leave her room immediately, it was all a trick all along. Did she feel the walls of my cunts?The flirty look on Lilly’s face suddenly disappeared, and I took advantage of her astonishment and left the room.Let’s hope she didn’t suspect anything because I will be doomed.******Another day, and I woke up a little bit cranky and tired. Nicki now spends practically all her time with her new boyfriend.The door opened, and Diego came inside with a tray of food.“You know I could be naked or anything. You should have knocked.”“Good morning to you, too,” he said, placing the tray of hot steamy chocolate and a sandwich on the bed.“If I see you naked, it is only right you see mine. Don’t worry, I have had a glimpse of how your body looks.”Was that supposed to be funny? Thinking of it now, will I really give my body to him?What if I try kissing him… maybe it will help me forget about Jimmy. I brought out my hands and smelled my morning breath.Argh! That didn’t

CHAPTER 72

IRISH“Just ignore her, she is only bitter because I turned her down. You know, Lilly isn’t my type. I just don’t know how to let her go.”Not even in my weirdest imagination would I ever think a day would come when I’d have to defend the size of my supposed dick.David was still looking at me like he didn’t believe me.“You have to do something about this allegation. Sleep with any of her friends and watch her spread your gospel.”“I think missionary style should make a statement. Make sure it hits right in her womb. Very aggressive.”Now, I wish Jimmy could give me his cork for this mission.Just then, Dave saw Anne walking by and ran over to her. Seems like someone is finally trying to be responsible.I was walking outside when I bumped into someone. My bad! I was zooming in on a picture to see what a 2-inch cork looks like.“I am sorry, I wasn’t looking.”“Clearly you weren’t! You dumbass one inch.”That was the new girl, Bella. And she just referred to me as one inch. Lilly will

CHAPTER 73

IRISHI noticed how Diego disentangled himself from the hug and said whatever he said to her.I am now curious to know their relationship. From the way she couldn’t take her hands off him, Diego seems important to her.I entered the car, and he didn’t waste time starting it and hitting the road.“I met Bella late last year in the Maldives during my long vacation. We had fun for the four months I spent over there. I left. I didn’t believe in being accountable… until you came along.”“Oh.”That was the only thing I could mutter. I didn’t bother asking where we were heading for the staycation. I just wanted to get rid of my clothes and have a cold bath.I can’t tell how long we had been on the road because I fell asleep at some point. But the car finally stopped, and I followed him.It had a beach setting, with bamboo houses, just what I needed.I followed Diego to the room where we would stay for the week.And to my surprise, everything I needed throughout my vacation was here. Down to

CHAPTER 74

JIMMYI couldn’t explain the level of pain I was going through when I heard her say those words.Just seconds ago, I was happy, thinking Irish and I would finally be together without putting up a fight. It felt like a piece of me left the moment I watched her walk out through that door with her hands intertwined with his.She chose him, not me.My phone couldn’t stop vibrating, and I already knew who the caller was… Mum. I only prayed my body could carry me to her.And in no time, I was standing right in her room.“Son, you can’t fire him like that. I love him. I finally get to experience what true love is all about. Please, don’t do this to me.”Her two hands were folded. I just couldn’t believe she was crying over him.“I get it, the sex was good. Daddy isn’t emotionally available, but you can’t be with him. Everything is wrong about it. Choose someone else. You can’t have this baby, Mum. Please, don’t make it harder than it is.”She wasn’t having it. Neither would she stop sobbing.

CHAPTER 75

IRISH“I know we didn’t start on a good note. I have been a jerk, dealing with some personal problems, but that isn’t an excuse. I really need to speak with Diego.”Crazy how love makes one mellow down their ego. Is that tears in her eyes? I sucked my teeth. If only things weren’t complicated.“Okay, I will talk to him and see what he has to say.”“Thank you, Idris.” She jumped on me, pressing her full shoulder weight on me.“I will get going now.”Today happened to be one of those days I chose to hop on the public bus. Diego wanted to send his chauffeur to pick me up earlier, but I declined.I wanted to breathe.The evening came faster, and here I was, sitting at the rooftop of the penthouse, waiting patiently for Diego to dish out the food.I tried not to talk about the other time, because each time I did, I ended up feeling guilty. Maybe that wasn’t such a great idea.I cut some of the steak and had a bite, and mehn, it tasted so good. He is such a fantastic cook, no doubt. I took

CHAPTER 76

JIMMY“I’m not ready to talk about her. Don’t worry, you will get to know her at the right time. So, will you help me out or not?”She shrugged and rolled her eyes.“Fine. Coincidentally, someone I know is nursing a heartbreak. She wants to prove a point to her boyfriend that she has moved on. This can work. I will set up a date tomorrow. I will get going now. Kisses.”She was gone. Looking at the bottle of champagne I ordered earlier, my mind traveled wide. I don’t even know if all of this makes sense.Is she still with him because of the promise she made, or something else? I struggled with my hair. Love makes one do crazy things.The next day, Becky was the first person to call and inform me about my meet-up with the said girl. That was faster than I thought.Hours later, I was done having breakfast, had my shower, and returned to the same restaurant, but this time, waiting for someone else.She arrived almost immediately. From the pictures and descriptions my sister gave, she was t

CHAPTER 77

IRISH’s POV“His name is not important. He is just a sperm donor. Mum, I really hope you change this time, not you trying to scheme your way into Diego’s heart. You won’t like the outcome.”I almost added that Diego was the kind of man who could slit someone’s throat without blinking, just to scare her straight, but that would be giving away information I wasn’t ready to explain.She held my hands like we were in some emotional Nollywood scene. If she weren’t my mum, I would have rolled my eyes so hard they’d fall out.“Diego, how did you meet him? He is such a nice, handsome man.”And there she goes again. Wiggling her brows like a teenager.This woman has no shame, but I dare not say that loud.“Mum,” I said slowly, already tired, “just forget about it. Just behave and forget about Smith. You will do that for us, right?”She nodded quickly, like a child being promised sweets, then pulled me into a tight hug. Then she whispered, “I think he likes you.”I pulled back immediately. “M

CHAPTER 78

IRISH’s POV“Are you okay? What happened?”The phone almost slipped from my hand, but Nicki was fast enough to catch it before it kissed the floor.She didn’t even wait. She started going through it immediately.“Damn!” she exclaimed. “How did they even get a video of this?”She kept scrolling, her face shifting between shock and amusement.“Just breathe, okay,” she added, patting my shoulder like I was about to faint. “You weren’t called a thief or a murderer. Just some homophobic maggots calling you out. It’s nothing serious. The heart knows what it wants. There is nothing wrong with being gay.”For a second… just one second… I had to pause and mentally check my body.Because what the actual fuck is she saying?I slowly turned my head to look at her.If confusion had a face, it would be mine.I shot her a look, what are you even saying right now’?She caught it instantly and mimicked zipping her mouth with an invisible key.Good. Because if she had said one more word, I might have s

CHAPTER 79

IRISH’s POV“You look pretty.”Jimmy said it so casually, like he wasn’t capable of ruining my entire emotional stability with just one sentence.He was leaning against the table, taking a lazy bite of an apple like he had no problems in this world.What do they say about apples again?Exactly, temptation.And this one?Walking, talking temptation with zero self-control.I rolled my eyes slightly, but inside? My stupid heart did one small flip.“I was able to get hold of the person who took the video of us,” he continued, tossing the apple up and catching it like a bored rich boy. “It was Lilly. Your jealous girlfriend.”He winked.I blinked. Then blinked again.That girl.That damn girl will never mind her business.If I still had my “Idris balls” on, I would have scratched her face without blinking.“Of course it’s Lilly,” I muttered. “That girl needs a full-time job.”Jimmy chuckled softly, clearly enjoying my irritation.I didn’t even bother responding again.Instead, I turned tow

CHAPTER 80

IRISH POVGrandma immediately snatched my hand away from him like his touch alone could contaminate me.“Mum, is this you?” the man said, his voice shaking slightly. “I have looked for you everywhere.”Looking closer at him, my brain finally connected the dots. I met him at the resort, the man with the messed-up love story.“I heard about Lucy’s death,” he continued softly. “I am so sorry.”Grandma’s face changed instantly.“It is your entire family that is dead!” she snapped. “My daughter is well and alive, Smith. Now get your silly self out of here before I call the cops on you!”Smith, that name again. It rang louder this time.Didn’t Mum say something about Smith being our father?I slowly turned my head back to him, then to Grandma, and gasped.No way.No actual way.“Lucy is alive?” he asked, completely thrown off. “How? I saw her grave. I even got her flowers just last month when I went visiting.”Okay.Something is very wrong here.Very, very wrong.Because right now, this is
