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 54.Talkative but smart Doctor.Adrian's POV.I woke up to see Galton in my room, he was lying on the mini couch in there and he was sleeping so uncomfortably. I sighed and tried to get out of bed which I succeeded in doing, though very slowly as my body felt so heavily weighted that I had to hold on to things to move. I went to the restroom to ease myself and when I was done, I went back to the room and tapped Galton to wake up and he jolted. "Hey, do you need anything? Are you hungry? How are you feeling now?" He bombarded me with questions."Get on the bed Galton, I bet the couch is not convenient, and it's still at night, also, I'm fine, I just want to sleep more." I went back to the bed which he followed.I laid down on it and Galton did the same, he then helped my head on his chest and began to pat my back to help me to sleep quickly. I dozed off again.★★★I woke up to see Galton gone, but when I sat up, he came in with a salver filled with food and Mom was trailing b
Chapter 55.Fighting for her.Lincoln's POV.I have been sitting down quietly and just like I promised Raphael that I would let Adrian go, I wanted to do it, let her go and allow her to enjoy her life with him without a third wheel, at least if there would be a third wheel, it shouldn't be me, but my heart was not listening to me, it was telling me to fight for my right and that is just it, Adrian was not married to Raphael yet and she was nobody's. Raphael won a one with her heart and I won a one with the heart of her mom, so it was win-win and anyone that got her successfully to the altar was the winner.Natalia had called me last night about Adrian's sickness and I had promised her that I would check up on her which I was doing now. I dressed up nicely in a white long-sleeve shirt and white pants which I tucked the shirt into. I styled my hair and stared at my handsome self in the mirror. Why couldn't Adrian see how handsome I am? Am I not much more good-looking than Raphael? What
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
