Wendy's POV. 'I WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE TO DESTROY ALL YOU THINK YOU HAVE BUILT AND I SHALL NEVER GET TIRED' His words kept ringing in my head continuously despite being in a big hall filled with numerous students and some set of men and women giving us lectures about our course but my mind was far off, the only thing keeping me from crying my eyes out right now was this crowded place. May chattered excitedly beside me, ignorant of the storm raging within me. "Wendy, can you believe we're part of this expedition? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"I forced a smile and turned to look at her, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and I attempted to feign interest. "Yeah, May, it's incredible."The speaker on the stage droned on about the significance of the expedition, but his words were drowned out by Professor George's haunting threat echoing in my mind. I felt a lump forming in my throat as I struggled to maintain composure.How's my new life falling apart because of just one man,
Wendy's POV. "Thank you so much for everything Stan, it was a lovely moment, it felt so good," I let out with a broad smile and he nodded, returning the smile."It's great to have your company, I'm truly honored." He enunciated and I just chuckled."Honored? Are you kidding me right now?" I asked as we began to head towards the hotel.The private museum was pretty far from the hotel but I didn't mind, seeing those beautiful things was definitely worth it. I don't know how Stan did it but having access to such was truly amazing and it helped my spirit a great deal."Well, not everyone can boast of talking much with you, most guys have this thought that you're a lesbian." He divulged and I widened my eyes in shock before tilting my head to look at him. "Are you serious?!" I asked, trying hard to hold the laugh that was bubbling in my chest, it hit me differently when I heard stories about myself that amused me. "Yeah, you don't like guys, you've made that clear all the time so I gues
Wendy's POV. "Alright team, good luck with your various projects, remember, the company only wants the best of the best in terms of employment so, I want you to put in your all." The voice of a woman echoed throughout the big hall and we students gave her a standing ovation. She left the stage and a murmur filled the room, I was kinda happy and nervous, the project we're giving to work is kind of an easy one for me but I'm still fucking nervous because there are so many students who would come up with different ideas. In each department, only five students would be selected and I want to be among those five, I have to do everything within my power to be among them. God has given me a chance and I am gonna make use of it with everything in me. Getting a job from any of the companies would solve my financial problem in a jiffy. Getting a fat pay, a job that comes with a house and a company car... Oh c'mon, I'm gonna be hot, I'll have all I want and more, maybe I'll stop worrying ab
Wendy's POV. "Oh well, it's pretty late, you won't find a taxi at this spot now, you need to walk for a few minutes to Main Street." The kind old lady who had attended to us in the library suggested and I gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you so much, ma'am," I muttered and nudged Anny to follow me. I had attained my reason for coming this far but it was already late at night, my time reads 10:23 P.M.I did not intend to come this far but the books I wanted weren't available in the five big libraries we had visited, we were directed here and we got it but it's so fucking late. "I'm really sorry for this, Anny." I apologized to Anny who was busy scrolling through her phone. "Um, what are you sorry for?" She asked, dropping her phone into her satchel. "For bringing you this far," I muttered with a sad smile and she just scoffed."Oh please, I followed you here on my own will, besides, you had asked me to return home but I didn't want to, so just forget the whole apologies, we'll m
Wendy's POV. The door of the car opened and someone stepped out, straining my eyes. I tried to figure out who the person was but his face wasn't visible to my eyes. "Hello, guys." The figure said and began to head towards us, the voice sounded familiar and I was trying to figure it out in my brain but my brain wasn't cooperating."Stanley." Anny's voice immediately made my brain recall and I stared at the figure in awe. How the fuck did Stanley get here? "Who the fuck are you?" The leader of the group asked, standing proud and dangerous.Anny clung to me tighter, her fingers were scraping my skin and it hurt but I chose to ignore it. I understand how scared she must be, I was once in her position."I'm nobody you wish to know and I don't wish to know you either, how about we settle this amicably without any form of violence?" He asked and I creased my brows, wondering what Stanley was up to, Stanley wasn't the type to go violent, he's one of the calmest men in my class and the who
Wendy's POV. "Just two more days until submission girl, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time," Anny said excitedly and I looked at her with a smile, she was excited about the whole project and I was too. I've been working on mine, seeking help from lecturers and professors... Well, except for Professor George, I haven't seen him for the last two days and I dare not call or ask about him. Things have been going smoothly in the expedition, we have lots of seminars and everything has been calm. Just as May had predicted, not all students were interested in the program, some only came here for the fun of it and they're having it to the fullest, the management wasn't saying anything about it, we're adults after all, we're responsible for our own decisions. "Hey baby, how are you doing?" I heard May's excited voice and I looked away from my pad to look at her; she was dressed in volleyball shorts and an armless top, "You're looking hot May." Anny complimented her and I supported
Wendy's POV. "And the first fifty students that would be battling to be among the first five in the competition from the business administrative class are..." My heart leaped when I heard this and I tried my very best to look relaxed and composed despite the nervousness I was feeling deep within. The man at the podium began to mention names and I was sincerely happy for Anny when her name was mentioned. We had submitted our project and the team had selected the first fifty. I was sincerely praying to be among the first fifty. If I'm not, I'd have to join the fun squad and have all the fun I could till the expedition is over. My phone buzzed but I ignored it, I'm too focused on the man mentioning names to care about anything, who ever the person was should just go to hell cause I'm fucking tensed right now. "Wendy, your phone, it's buzzing, maybe it's urgent." May notified me by tapping me on my shoulder and I just scoffed. I don't care how urgent it was, I'm not replying to anyth
Wendy's POV. "How are you feeling now, is it hurting you? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that." He said quickly, brought out his white handkerchief, and used it to dab the little blood that was still coming out of my finger. His action had surprised me, and it's fucking still surprising me, this man in front of me is anything but caring, he had shown me that he doesn't like me, he made me feel it but what was wrong with him now, why is he behaving so weird, extremely weird. "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He asked again when I wasn't replying to him. Why the hell would he take me to the hospital for such a minor injury?! Snatching my wrapped finger from him, I looked at him in awe then stared at my hand that he wrapped his handkerchief around. "What is wrong with you?" I asked, still finding it hard to believe."You're hurt." He said and moved closer to me but I moved back almost immediately, not wanting to be so close to him, I felt some kind of f
