Chapter 22.Adrian's POV.The voice came again, "Now, I hate that guy with her, he seems to know too much and he is obviously a competitor. Listen up whoever you are, back off, I hate sharing!" It paused for a second then continued, "Can Adrian Williams come inside the office now? I have not all the time in the world." It said and the call was dropped.I knew immediately that it was not Dr. Raphael. The Dr. Raphael I know was patient, but the person under that voice seemed impatient and nonchalant, which was so not him. Also, there was a way Dr. Raphael calls my name that made it some unique and sweet to my ears, even when he calls me Miss Williams, the sweetness is still always there, but this one seemed different, I just didn't feel anything when he called my name and Dr. Raphael had never called me with my full name, except when he first arrived in our school and was shocked by my failure."I will see him." I told Ryan. I have to see the person behind the door, who knows if he is a

Chapter 23.Good day, messy day, and cool day.Adrian's POV.I was walking through to my room but remembered that Mom said Galton was not okay, I branched at his door, I wanted to enter, but found out it was locked from the inside, so I knocked, "I'm not in the mood Mom, I'm fine." He said from inside."I wish this was Mom! Now, get your butt to this door immediately and open it, or I will pick your lock!" I told him firmly. He was aware that I could pick locks since I had mistakenly picked our front door lock once when Mom forgot the keys in her workplace, and we were too poor to spare money for transportation fees back there."Adrian!" He called from inside."Are you opening it or what?"I heard some ruffling sounds from inside and next, the door was opened, "I didn't know you were the one, I thought it was Mom, I'm not expecting you to come back home this early." He said as he nervously scratched his head."So, you wouldn't have opened it if it's Mom right? Why are you stressing her

Chapter 25.Heartbroken.Adrian's POV.I didn't argue with Ryan when he said that he would see my lecturer with me because I already knew that I would outsmart him and run away before he could notice it. So I kept my cool and just allowed him to keep on dreaming.Immediately we got to the parking lots, I jumped off the bike quickly dropped his helmet on the seat, and ran away, "Adrian!" He called frustratedly after me while I laughed but never looked back to check on him, I know fully well that he would still be on the bike, staring at me confusingly and in astonishment.When I got to a safe place, I halted to catch my breath as I still smiled. That's nice. I thought and chuckled. I put my dress in place and rearranged my hair before continuing on my journey to the Art Theater where I would be meeting Dr. Raphael.When I got to the door, I stood for minutes as I tried to cage my emotions. Now, let's do this. I thought and went into the hall.Everywhere was void of people when I entere

Chapter 27.Go out with me. Ryan or him?Adrian's POV.Ryan looked dumbfounded for a minute before he laughed nervously, "You know what? I will just drop you at work while I go to school." I glared at him, allowing my disapproval to be seen, "No thanks, I will find my way to work by myself. Just go to school now, so that you won't miss your practical."I began to walk out the door and he followed, "I'm sorry, I just allowed my emotions to get over my reasoning." He said.I snubbed him, not finding his excuse appropriate, as that has been all his excuses lately, and I was beginning to grow uncomfortable every time he changed his attitude from how I knew it to be, it was just so unfair, he was my friend first God's sake and presently, I'm conscious of my attitudes and actions, I don't want to be victim of any pain again."Just leave Ryan, I'm not in the mood for all these," I told him.I got out of the house and locked the door after him, I knew from his aura that he was not feeling so

Chapter 29.He wants to play me again!Adrian's POV.We left the restaurant after eating and throughout the journey to my house, we were silent. He kept on operating his phone silently as he glanced at me at intervals while I stole a peak at him."Just drop me here, I can manage from here and find my way home," I told him when we got to the junction that led to my home.He stared out of the window as he stared around the neighborhood, before returning his gaze to me, "I don't think that will do, the neighborhood is too silent for you to walk in it alone, not to talk of this late at night and you are too beautiful to be ignored by the hoodlums, so no, can't do.""But Linc, I....""No but," he then faced his driver, "Drive us in."I had no other choice than to direct him to my house and when he pulled over at the front of the house, I was a little bit worried, worried about what he would think of the place from the outside. He stared at the house and muttered a "Wow!" Then he returned h
