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 60.Preparation for a big day.Adrian's POV.I have never been okay since I received the news that I lost my baby and I had been living like a ghost. Dr Frederick had always checked by to run a test on me to know if there were any kind of complications in my body and to see how much I was responding to treatment. His treatment had been the only reason that got me eating, if not I don't know what I would have turned into presently, maybe remain only my skeleton.I was in my room and it was an evening, I was dressed, waiting for Galton to show up. I was dressed because I was going to a spa with Galton, it was all his idea and that was because tomorrow is my graduation from school, I would be a graduate tomorrow. At least, that was worth smiling for.Galton opened the door halfway and popped his head in, "Yo, let's get going."I stood up from the bed and went to him, I was already very tired of trying to talk him out of it because he wouldn't listen. 'Your graduation pictures mus
Chapter 61.Off to partying.Adrian's POV.It was the day of my graduation but it looked like the day of my marriage since my room was filled to the brim with some makeover artists who were sent by Raphael and Dr Frederick was present too. He was to do the final test and to make sure that I was perfectly okay to go on with the celebration of the day."Your system is working perfectly and I think you're perfectly okay, but don't stress yourself and if you want to cry, cry religiously," Like he knew that something was happening today that would make me cry. Even Mom and Galton were acting like it and I was the only one in the dark. "Avoid anything that would stress your within, or you might bleed or worse, lose your womb." He warned.That thought of losing the womb was frightening, if lose my womb, who will then birth Raphael's children? Oh no! It has to be me. "Don't worry doctor, I'll take care of myself.""Very good," He got busy with typing on his pad and I decided to use that mediu
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
