Chapter 57. Miller's hatred. Millar's POV. After the day's exam, I sat in my room, my fingers tapping impatiently on my desk. The mere thought of Adrian made my blood boil. I had never met someone so infuriating, so utterly undeserving of the good things that came her way. As I stared at the wall, my mind filled with dark thoughts."Why does she get everything?" I muttered to myself. "She's so fake, always pretending to be nice. But I know her true colours." I pressed my legs on the floor in anger as I thought of her. Still, in a rage, an image of Adrian flashed in my mind, a reminder of the source of my anger. My jaw clenched as I imagined all the ways I could make her pay for what she did to me. She took Ryan away from me and still has the guts to get the lecturer and deen on her side. How dare she?! "I wish she die!" I whispered venomously. "She should just disappear from my life, from everyone's life. I'm sure no one would miss her." My gaze turned to the window, watching t
Chapter 58.Special things to special people.Adrian's POV.I was not ready to begin to think over unnecessary things, especially the shit that Millar pulled in the chemistry lab and to think that she could be that wicked to her fellow student, all because of a guy who give no shit about her. When I was dragging the chemical with her, which we later found out was water, it had spilt in her eyes and if it had been a real chemical, I bet she would have died immediately or lost her eyes forever, though that would have been a perfect revenge for her because of the girl she injured when she was busy thinking of me.It was a free day and I was alone in the house, Mom went to work while Galton went to school, and I was with the envelope Raphael sent to me through Dr Frederick, I had decided to take a look at its content that day.When I opened it, I saw some dollar notes in it and a letter was neatly tugged between the notes. It read, "Hey babe, how are you doing? I'm sure you're good since
Chapter 59.Another sad moment. Adrian's POV.How time flies......It was the last day of my examination and I was just emerging from the exam centre which was crowded to the brim as my last paper was English language, which was a general course. I was all smiles as I walked majestically, I could boldly say that I did well in all my papers. All of them, which was so relieving and that means that I was already an employee in the R. Neil's group. God bless the person that nominated my name even before writing exams. I was so happy.I kept on chuckling nonstop as I journeyed to the parking lot where the car would be waiting for me. I was a few feet away from the lots when I saw Ryan amidst the crowd, it was not so easy spotting him but I did and I was not even thinking that he would be around at that time, I might have forgotten that he offered English language too, everyone did."Ryan!" I called and began to push through the crowd, trying to push everyone out of my way to get to him, h
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
Chapter 3. Our new lecturer. Adrian pov. It was a Monday morning, I was dressing up in my small, and poorly furnished room, whose painting on the walls was already peeling. The room had stained and worn-out linoleum floors, and it had a few pieces of furniture, which were just my wooden bed reading table, and chair, the room was filled with the smell of cheap detergent. The lighting was a harsh fluorescent which was almost broken as cracks were obvious around it. I tried to make the room look better by adding a few decorations around it and covering the windows in cheap linens, which added a little bit of beauty to the room also, I made the room so neat. I finished dressing up and left my room to the mini dining room, which had just four wooden chairs neatly arranged around a cracked and crippled dinner table in the dining room and a few dishes were placed on the table. Mom was already seated, with Galton, my younger brother, they were waiting patiently for me to join them for b
Chapter 4. Confused. Study or money? Adrian pov. I left the lecture room, looking so nervous as I fiddled with my fingers, my heart was beating too fast as I walked towards the office of the new lecturer. If meeting up with him was not so important, then I would have been planning an escape route by now, and I wouldn't have been so nervous. I was nervous about a lot of things and the dominant of all the things was that I feared what he would think of me after seeing my failures, he must hate me immediately and for the fact that he easily fished me out of the multitude of students meant something. "Adrian!" I heard myself being called on and I halted. I turned back and saw Ryan running up to meet me. "Ryan," I muttered in relief when he got to me, he crouched to the floor with his hands holding his knees as he tried to catch his breath. At least, there is someone that calmed me down a little. I told myself, then questioned him, "What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in
Chapter 5. The handsome stranger. Adrian pov. I woke up on a Saturday morning, as usual, I was dressed for work and was eating a quick breakfast of roasted steak with my family. "You should rest more Adrian, I will foot all our bills, that's why I'm your mother," Mom told me. I glanced at her before returning my gaze to my plate of steak without saying a word. I didn't know why she would not just let everything be as it was, we all know that she can't foot the bills alone, she needed help and since there was no dad, I took the responsibility upon myself. "I know you regret having me as your mother, I know I'm useless." "Enough Mom!" I shouted at her, banging the table loudly, "How many times do we want to talk about this? Didn't I tell you that I'm okay? I am not complaining, am I?" I listed out the questions for her with my heart rising and falling like I was just done with a marathon. "But Adrian....." I cut her off, "You know what Mom? I lost my appetite." I finalized and
