Chapter 48.Things falling apart.Raphael's POV.I couldn't stop staring at him, why would he want who is mine? Why not someone else as there were a lot of ladies out there that would kill to have him, why must he want my own woman? Why Adriana?"Raphael," He stood before me, "You know you've always treated me like your younger brother even when I'm older than you," I said nothing, nor did I make any form of movement, my eyes were just on him and I let him speak everything on his mind, "Why can't you leave Adrian to me too like you are always done with things I want? I swear to you that I love her so much and if I maltreat her or treat her badly, you can take her away from me. Also, I will give you everything I own to have her, everything, I swear!"It was my turn to ball up on the bed, thinking. First thing first, Adrian was not a commodity that we were to be debating upon and she was mine. But there was Lincoln who had always been so protective of his possessions, and now, he was wi
Chapter 49.Everyone has something to say.Adrian's POV.My days of suspension had ended and I couldn't be less happy to return to school. The exam practicals start this week which meant that I had no time for fun again and since my mates would not have time for partying anymore, a get-together party was to be held today and it will be all fun all day long and we will resume revising our books after the party.I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom to bathe and the whole event of the previous week flooded my head. A whole week with Raphael. It was just filled with everything and as he promised, he helped me to read literature, that bitch is now so easy that I can analyze anything whatsoever from my dream.Also, he taught me weird stuff too, which was so expected, things I cannot start talking about. I laughed and twisted my hair in my fingers, that man was just everything. Everything! He was handsome and had all the body built in it right places and the best part is that I
Chapter 50.Ryan's confession.Adrian's POV.I got myself out of Ryan's grip and turned to Galton, "You should leave with the driver.""Yeah, I'm not planning on staying and I will get to flaunt the car in school. Just imagine how many crushes I'll be having now," He smirked and came closer to Ryan and me, "Hey man, it's been a very long time ago, your face is so scarce."They shook hands before chuckling and pulling each other into an embrace, "It's weird, but I missed you." Ryan teased."And I missed going to school on your bike, there are still a lot of girls in my school that want you if someone I know doesn't." Galton sprinted his eyes in my direction.I had to turn back to see if there was anyone behind me, but their laughter got me turning back to them with a glare, noticing that they were making fun of me. "Seem you will love to trek to school instead of using the car."They stopped laughing, "What?" Galton questioned unbelievably."The driver would listen to me more than you,
Chapter 51.A day to remember.Adrian's POV.I turned around in shock as I tried to find out about the person who owned the voice that interrupted us. That person must know a lot about me and Raphael's relationship and it was not a good thing. I thought."Miller!" I called her in astonishment as I turned to behold her. How could it be Miller of all people? Someone who had been searching earnestly for my downfall and it was as if she had been given a stepping stone to climb higher. I chuckled nervously, "What are you talking about?" I made to stop her daringly, but Ryan beat me to it. "Yes, what are you talking about? Are you jobless now to be eavesdropping on people's conversations?" He stood with his chest out to Miller, he was ready to defend me and to trash Miller out with his words. I would have loved to watch the display and everything, if only Miller was not right, if only she was bluffing."Now, I just realized that you're a fool, Ryan. I don't even know that the truth is hidd
Chapter 52.Impatient.Raphael's POV.I stood transfixed on the spot Adriana left me, I mean what just happened? Just in the morning, we were cool and everything was going fine and now, when I was thinking that I couldn't hold the secret I was hiding from her anymore, I rushed down to the school to see her and tell her about it, but I was met with something else, she was being humiliated and shamed. Was that why she said those words to me? She didn't mean any of the words right? Oh gosh! I wiped my face with my palms as sweat was already forming on my forehead, what if Lincoln went behind my back and told her all about the secret? Maybe that was why she was saying all those things to me. No, no! She'll hate me forever.I turned to the direction she took and thought of going after her, but decided against it, I had to settle the things in the school first, no one should be allowed to humiliate someone I love.I ignored the students and their murmuring among each other which they could
Chapter 53.Raphael's weak point.Raphael's POV."...... She's the fucking girl I want to marry!" Lincoln became calm immediately."What?" The question came out weak from Lincoln and I became calm too.I didn't mean to say out my intention of marrying Adrian, but saying it to him too was cool, at least he would know that the way I saw Adrian was way beyond his and that I was not ready to let her go. She's mine."Yes Lincoln, I love her and I'm planning on marrying her. I've made up my mind to propose to her on her graduation day which I am praying she would say yes to." I explained to Lincoln.His lips went agape, "You're proposing to her on her graduation?""Yes. Is there a problem?" I had to question him since he was not looking cool with it, it was like he had not gotten over her like he should. "Lincoln, what's wrong?"He massaged his temple and sat down at his table, "I .... I.....," He cleared his throat, then continued, "Um..... You know that it's just shocking... Yeah, shockin
Chapter 1. An attempt to save a drunk man. Adrian's pov. It was a bright morning and I scurried out of my room as I wore my clothing, I was in such a hurry not to miss my literature lecture that morning, as I was lagging in the course badly and my final examination was coming soon, I didn't want to cry a bitter tear and stay an extra year in the school. "Mom! I'm off to school!" My voice rang all around the less wealthy home I lived in with my mom and brother. Though our house was less wealthy, it had modesty, humbleness, and love in it. Even though the house was smaller and needed some repairs like the linking roof, and it also didn't have all the latest conveniences, that doesn't mean it's not filled with love and comfort. It was way cozier and more inviting for us since we had each other's back in everything. I am Adrian Williams, a 21-year-old white-skinned lady, people say that I am beautiful, but who cares about that when all I wanted and needed presently was money to foot
Chapter 2. What will I look like, as a lecturer? Raphael O'Neill's POV. I sat still on the floor in shock as I looked at my savior who was also on the floor beside me, she was not moving, and I felt my heart skipping a beat. "Is she dead?" I wondered. I crawled closer to her with my eyes already cleared from the intoxicating wine I drank, I was already sober. "Girl, hey!" I called out. I withdrew, staring at her with bug-out eyes, now in astonishment, I was sure that the car never hit her, the driver must be a good driver as he had diverted the car to the other side of the road just in time and we escaped him. I only managed to snatch out of shock and took a chill pill when the lady jolted to her feet. "Are you okay?" She questioned me, then she helped me up to my feet. I was unable to answer her as my eyes were glued to the beauty in front of me. Her face was not visible when she was on the floor, but when she raised her head, my thoughts suddenly became messed up with just the
