Chapter 31 & 32 : The Race to Save Diva’s Life
A man in his forties could be seen serving the customers in a restaurant.
He went to the counter then fetched out his phone from his apron before dialing a number saved as Adrian.
Meet Henry Brown, Reggie’s (Adrian) dad.
“He’s not picking up” He muttered.
“Let me try again”
HALLWAY*
Reggie is leaning on the wall with his phone in his hand, staring at the screen as his dad called repeatedly.
He smacked his lips before swiping red.
He then pocketed his phone.
“Adri-Reginald” Diva rushed to him.
“I missed you, so much…..Poo Bear” He confessed, hugging her to himself so tightly like she was going to run away, if he hugged her any lesser.
“Much more” She grinned, resting on her head on the crook of his neck.
They stayed like that without minding the students passing by or making comments.
What matters to them right now is that they are together and they have each other not anyone’s unnecessary and unimportant comment or review about them.
“I fvcking missed you, you know?” He repeated.
“I did too” She grinned, breaking the hug.
“How was-
“It was successful” He cuts her off with a kiss, earning a loud giggle from her.
“You didn’t tell me you were going to return today? I would have prepare something for you….” Diva whined.
“Something like?” He asked, snaking his arms around her waist.
“Like food. Homemade food” She replied, drawing circles on his exposed chest.
“You can cook?”
“What do you take me for?” She laughed.
“I never thought you could though” He teased, planting a kiss on her cheek.
“What’s with the, though?” He chuckled in response.
“Let’s go spend this weekend at the mansion” She suggested.
“Why? Don’t you have classes?”
“I’m studying at Finley. No weekend classes, remember?” She smiled.
“I can’t believe I forgot”
“How can the president of the school forget such an important thing?”
“I never did until you came into my life and got me enchanted….for an unknown reason”.
“Stop it. You’re lying” She gushed.
“Yes. I am”
“What?!” She gasped, making him laugh.
“You crazy fellow” She hit his chest.
“How about a date tonight? I have something to say to you”
“Finally!” Diva squealed excitedly in her head.
“What do you say?”
“Yes. Sure. I’d totally love that” She replied excitedly.
“I’ll come pick you up by 7”.
“Okay. See ya” She ran away but then returned to kiss him but it wasn’t a long and aggressively kiss.
It was a slow, soft, tender, passionate, expressive and short kiss.
“Bye” He smiled, breaking the kiss.
“One more” She kissed him and broke the kiss after a minute.
“Bye!” She rushed away.
PRESIDENT’S OFFICE*
Reggie is working on some files. He has a lot of paperwork to do.
He looks so handsome and cute on glasses with his bangs almost covering the lens.
He kept on signing and signing and signing and signing until it clocked 5 pm.
“Right. Date” He remembered removing his glasses, before rushing out of the office.
<6 : 50 PM>
Reggie is downstairs waiting for Diva.
He looks so hot in suit.
His hair has been tainted back to its original color, Black.
He has no earring on-They were faked. He didn’t get any piercing.
The tattoo was a fake one too.
Petty, right?
He removed everything after the reconciliation with Diva.
“My knight in shining armour!” Diva hyped as she made way to him.
“My Cinderella in a black dress” He laughed.
She laughed too.
She’s wearing a black dress that hug her in the right places, showing off her curves.
“You look…..” He just couldn’t find the right words.
“I look, what?” She wiggled her eyebrows teasingly, before spinning around.
“Stunning. Gorgeous. Alluring. Hot. Sexy. Enchanting. Beautiful. Mesmerizing-
“That’s enough. Bring her back by 9 pm. Maximum” Mira ordered before going back into the dorm.
“She’s so scary” Diva breathed out before laughing.
“To you” He replied curtly, before opening the car door for her.
“Aww, such a gentleman” She commented and he replied a bow.
“Gosh” She blushed, entering the car.
He gently closed the door with a smile before joining her in the car.
AN HOSPITAL*
Jocelyn loud screams and cries could be heard from outside the hospital.
“Calm down, Miss. Just two more” The nurse said, raising the injection.
Jocelyn burst out in another round of tears when she saw the injection.
“Angelina!” She cried.
He’s outside the ward, laughing softly at her childishness.
“Please come in, Sir” The nurse said.
“O-Okay” He went in and Jocelyn rushed to him.
“Take me out of here, Angelina. I don’t like it here. Please. I’m begging you” She cried, hugging him tightly.
Angelina signaled the nurse to come administer the injections to her.
“Don’t worry. I’m here, okay? I’m not going to let anyone touch you” He assured as the nurse made to inject her.
He then wrapped his arms around her tightly and the nurse slowly lifted up her skirt.
He quickly turned away.
“Ah!” She cried when she got injected.
The nurse quickly administered the second one and Angelina smiled at her wiping her tears off.
“You betrayed me again” She pouted.
The nurse then exited the room.
“Look at you crying cause of an injection. What will you do if you were giving birth to a child?” He cupped her cheeks.
“Whatever. I hàte hospitals” She muttered.
“Go lay back down on the bed, okay?”
“Shouldn’t I get discharged tonight? I’ve been here since yesterday”
“You’ll get discharged tomorrow, probably….”
“Probably?!” She burst out in tears.
“Sorry! You’ll get discharged first thing tomorrow morning” He guaranteed and she sniffled wiping her tears off.
“Gosh, look how red your cheeks are cause of your childish fear for injections”
“You didn’t look, right?” She mumbled.
“Look? what?” He feigned innocence.
“W-When the nurse…..
“When the nurse what? when she walked to the door?. I didn’t look at her. She’s not my type. I don’t like tall ladies and you know it” He grinned, changing the topic.
“Are you calling me a shortie?”
“Me? When did I say that?!” He gasped in shock.
“But you just stylishly did!” She screamed cutely with a pout.
“Okay. Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel short”
“You are still saying it!”
“Sorry. I’m sorry, okay?” He chuckled, hugging her.
A RESTAURANT*
Diva is taking pictures on the food on the table.
“I’ll post this on insta” She smiled, taking the last shot.
“Are we done?” Reggie said, making her sit back down.
“Eat” He said and she picked up a fork.
They began eating and giving remarks on the food and the wine too.
“You said you had something to say” Diva secretly smiled, dropping her fork.
“Right. That’s correct” He smiled and she grinned happily like a kid, tucking her hair behind her ear.
He opened his mouth to speak.”I have something I want to say to you too” She said.
“Okay…. Go on. I’m all ears” He said, pouring her another glass of wine and himself too.
“Let’s say it at a time to make it more unique and memorable” She suggested.
“Okay” He agreed with a chuckle.
“3”
“2”
“1” She counted.
“Don’t you study at all?”
“I love you” They said at a time and their eyes widened.
“W-What? What do you mean by I don’t study?” Diva’s eyes widened.
“Uh? I meant your grades are kinda falling behind. Want me to tutor you?”
“Is that what you wanted to say? on a date?”
“Yes….” He drawled.
“Fvck, I got my hopes high, you know? I can’t believe I got all dolled up, just to be reminded of my poor grades. I do study, you know?!” She defended.
“Calm down, Poo Bear. I didn’t mean to get you angry” He said calmly.
“I….I just don’t understand a thing!” She ran out of the restaurant.
“Poo Bear!” He followed after picking up her purse.
Reggie had a hard time finding Diva.
“Go in” He ordered and she entered the car with a cute frown.
He smacked his lips loudly before joining her in the car.
“I was embarrassed, you know?” She finally broke her silence.
“And making me run around was less embarrassing, right?” He faced her.
“I’m sorry”
“I’m sorry too. I probably shouldn’t have said it like that. I can’t believe I ruined our first date. I’m really sorry” He faced her.
“I’m not angry” She replied with her head lowered, playing with her fingers.
He then parked the car.
“Wait here” He said before alighting the car.
She didn’t even raise her head up.
He returned with a big bowl of ice cream and pressed it on her cheek.
“Ah!” She flinched, making him smile.
“I got you ice-
She already took it from him before he could even finish his statement.
She began eating it, moaning at intervals, enjoying the ice-cream.
It’s her favourite flavor, Vanilla.
“Won’t you share?” He said, starting the car.
“I don’t share two things with anyone”
“Which are?”
“Ice-creams and chocolates”
“You love chocolates?”
“A lot” She grinned and he smiled.
“So you really won’t share your ice-cream with me?” He said, enabling the auto-drive, just to stare at her.
“You should have bought one for yourself, now…..you’re making me look wicked and I don’t like it” She whined like a kid.
“Come closer” She said reluctantly.
She then fed him a spoon with lots of murmurs.
“Just a spoon?”
“Stop being greedy, will you?” She hissed.
“Sure ma’am” He said, placing a hand on her lap, slowly lifting up her dress.
She didn’t even feel it cause she was too engrossed feeding on her ice-cream.
She faced him in shock when she felt his fingers inside her.
He’s not even looking at her, eyes fixed on the road as he drove with an hand.
“Ad….Adrian” She half-moaned, quickly covering her ice-cream.
“Gosh, you should have just said you wanted it” She said, making him park the car…..roughly.
Her eyes widened and before she could process what was happening.
Reggie already leaned his seat backwards and she was sitting on top of him with her middle directly on his crotch.
“Adrian? How?” She muttered in shock.
He slid her dress straps down her arms, revealing her bôobs.
He instantly took one of them in his mouth, sucking aggressively on it while continuing with his ministration down there.
“Adrian” Her eyes went shut.
It began raining heavily, sending shivers down her spine.
“We still have at least forty minutes to get to the dorm” He said.
“Yes…..”
“Go lay over there” He said, pointing at the backseat and she obeyed.
He then parted her legs and buried his head between them, eating her out.
“Ah….oh…..ah!”
He continued fondling her boob with a hand.
That continued until she reached her climax and he brought out a cøndom from his car safe and tore it open with his teeth before rolling it on his member.
He slid into her slowly and gently.
She hugged his neck, staring into his eyes as he wrecked her.
“You’re a ruiner, you know that?” She said.
“I know” He replied softly, with the calmest and sweetest voice on earth.
“And yet you continue ruining me?”
“Yes”.
“And why is that?” She half-moaned.
“Cause only I is allowed to ruin you, to touch you, to feel you, to kiss you and to fvck you HARD”
“Wattpad vibes” She grinned.
He connected their lips and she started moaning into his mouth at intervals as he increased his pace to an unhealthy one, drilling her hole so good and hard like a pro.
Her unholy and sinful moans got mixed the noise of the pouring rain, making them more blissful and melodious to the ears.
RHETT’S PLACE*
“My shoulder hurts so bad” Rhett complained.
“You should have stayed back at the hospital” Beauty replied, handing him a glass of water.
“Thanks” He smiled transferring the pills in his hand to his mouth, before flushing them down with water.
“What’s going on between Sterling and you?” He asked.
“Oh…. Sterling and I are friends. We are just getting to know each other”
“Why do you need him while I’m here?”
“You were at the hospital and I needed someone to tutor so he offered to help” She replied.
“I’m back now”.
“Yo, you can’t tell me who I should and shouldn’t be friends with” She disagreed.
“I just-
“You don’t like Reggie. You don’t like Sterling then who do you like? Diva?” She scoffed.
“What? No. I don’t like Diva” He lied.
“You lier” She got up.
He got up too.
“Beauty” He held her hands to sooth her.
“I admit. I liked Diva. But that’s in the past now”.
“Meaning?”
“I’m sorry for not caring about your emotions and acting like it wasn’t obvious that you liked me” He said.
“So…..
“Give me a chance, Beauty. I promise to make it right”
“You…..sure?”
“Yes” He made to connect their lips then Sterling came in.
He came to pay Rhett a visit….actually.
“Beauty?” He muttered in shock, making them look at the door.
“You said you were going to the library, right?. So, what are you doing here?” He chuckled in disbelief.
“Yeah….True….I was on the way and-and-I’m sorry, Sterling. I didn’t mean to lie to you” She walked over to him.
“Go wait outside” He told Beauty and she held his hand.
“Now” He concluded and she exited the room.
Sterling walked over to Rhett.
“You won’t stop being a jerk, would you?” He said.
“Once a jerk, always a jerk” Rhett smirked.
Sterling smirked too. “Stay away from her. Don’t confuse her anymore”
“Beauty loves me a little bit too much to let go of me and the feelings she has for me, just like that. It’s not that easy” He smirked, bragging proudly.
“Well, we’ll see about that” Sterling concluded before exiting the room.
“I’m not a loser, if I can’t get Diva then I should be with Beauty. She’s my second option” He smacked his lips.
“I can’t be a loner. I’ll just manage with Beauty. She’s not really my type” He concluded, sitting back on the couch.
A CLAN*
Reggie entered the clan with a straight face and the guards and maids instantly bowed in respect.
There is Mr Finley-Sorry Lord Finley settled on his king-sized chair, with a pipe between his lips and a girl on his laps.
His right hand came to inform him about Reggie’s arrival and he was ordered to let him in and the girl was told to leave.
Reggie bowed immediately he came in.
“Come have a seat, Mr pride” Lord Finely chuckled.
Reggie smiled, settling on a couch.
“How is it going?”
“Fine” Reggie replied.
“Is she falling for you already?”
“Seems like it”
“You know what to do, right?”
“I do”.
“Let me remind you if you’ve forgotten. You are going to toy with her heart and leave her in pieces. I swore to make her dad pay for betraying me so….. I have to stick to my words” Lord Finely smirked.
“Lord Finley, I have something to ask you”
“Go on, Pride”
“What happens if I try to quit?”
“No. You can’t. You are my heir! You can’t quit!” He barked.
“You can get someone else to continue from where I stopped. Ruby is quite smart and intellectual too” He replied.
“Don’t you dare think of it, Reggie. I bought you. I own you” He claimed and Reggie’s heart sank.
He hàtes hearing that.
“Now leave. Now” He ordered and Reggie exited his suite.
His right hand instantly rushed in.
“What’s the problem, Lord? Boss Reggie left in rage” He informed.
“Keep an eye on him. It seems like he’s beginning to fall for her”.
“Who? I thought it was against the rule to fall in love”.
“That’s it. For the first time in 14 years, Reggie seems different to me”.
“I’ll keep an eye on him, Lord”.
“Once you get a feeling that they are getting too close or he’s beginning to her. Just…..
He puffed.
“Okay boss” He bowed before exiting the suite.
“Diva. Diva. Diva, Too bad you’re going to pay for the sins of your father” He smirked, taking a long drag from his pipe.
AN HOTEL*
“I wonder why Dad asked me to come see him” Savage murmured as he got into the elevator.
The doors parted and he looked up from his phone.
“But there’s no one here” He muttered before pressing a button and the doors closed back.
Izzy is standing beside the elevator holding her chest, taking a deep breath.
She’s wearing a nose-mask.
“What the fvck is Savage doing here? Didn’t he say he was going to meet his Dad?” She wondered.
“Gawd, that was close. What was I going to say to him?” She lowered her head but then saw someone’s sneakers.
She recognized them immediately. It’s Savage.
Those are his favourite pairs of sneakers.
“It’s just a coincidence, right? It can’t be him!” She screamed in her head.
“Head up” Savage ordered.
She shook her head and tried to run away but he caught up with her.
“I was right? It was you” He said.
“W-What? Me?” She slightly turned away, covering her face with her hair.
“Aren’t you Izzy?” He let go of her hand.
“I haven’t heard of that name before” She changed her voice.
“Oh…. my sorry. You two kinda look alike, that’s why I mistook you for her. I’m sorry. Please forgive me” He apologized.
“I don’t need it. Get out of my way. I have somewhere important to be at. Not everyone is as jobless as you” She hissed, before walking away.
“I’m sorry!” He shouted after her, before making faces.
“She’s not even that pretty. My Izzy looks better” He grinned, heading towards the elevator.
“Izzy said she’s sick. I hope I finish up with that old hag on time, so I can go visit her”
“She must be missing me already” He smiled to himself.
“I’m such a bad soon-to-be-boyfriend. I haven’t even called her yet”
“You’re such a big fool, Savage” He scolded himself, fetching his phone out of his pocket to text her.
“Let me see if she went to the hospital or not” He chuckled, checking her location.
The doors opened and he looked up, not staring at the phone screen again.
Her location instantly came up showing that she’s at the hotel.
He exited the app as he came out of the elevator.
He didn’t bother checking her location again.
“I’m sure she went to the hospital. Izzy wouldn’t lie to me but I’m going to give her an earful if I found out that she lied to me. That cutie” He smiled, before swiping the key card in his hand and the door opened.
“Son!”
“Pops!” Savage hyped back as they shared a hug.
Chapter 33 & 34 : A High-Stakes Chase in the Countryside
Diva is preparing dinner.
Reggie is busy staring at her.
“Stop it” Diva muttered shyly.
“I don’t want to” Reggie replied teasingly.
“You’ve been acting weird for the past two days. What’s up with you?”
“Nothing” He replied.
“You sure?” She faced him.
“I’m sure of it. There’s nothing up with me” He replied.
“Are you- ouch!” He pinched her cheek.
“Adrian, you are so annoying….” She whined.
“Really?” He hugged her from behind.
“You good?” She said calmly.
“Yes……I am” He closed his eyes on her shoulder.
“You’re not hiding anything, right?”
“Is there something you want to say to me?” She continued.
His eyes opened.
“I won’t get mad at you. Trust me” She persuaded.
“Did you do something?” She added.
“Did something happen?” She concluded.
“Nothing happened and I didn’t do anything and I also have nothing to say to you. Calm your nerves, okay?” He said softly, tightening his arms around her waist.
“You seriously think I’d believe that?”
“I’m saying the truth. Trust me, Poo Bear” He kissed her ear.
She took in her lower lip trying to figure out what the problem may be.
Reggie usually gets clingy when he has something to say but just doesn’t have the courage too.
He might work for a mafia lord but he’s a softie deep down.
“Adrian…….” She called.
“Hmmm?” He muttered sleepily.
He’s falling asleep.
“Another sign that Adrian is hiding something. What isn’t he telling me? He’s being too secretive with me” She muttered before covering the pot.
“Adrian” She called.
“Adrian”
“Adrian”
“Hmmm?” His eyes slightly opened.
“Go sleep upstairs. I’ll wake you up once dinner is ready”
“I’m sorry for falling asleep on your shoulder” He chuckled softly.
“It’s normal. You do that whenever you have something on your mind” She reminded.
“I’ll be in the living room” He smiled lightly and she gave a nod.
He went to the living and laid on a couch.
“What’s wrong with you, Adrian? Why can’t you open up to me? You’re scaring me” She mumbled worriedly.
Reggie’s eyes are open.
He no longer feels sleepy.
“Telling you about it is only going to hurt you, and I don’t want that” He said in his head.
FINLEY UNIVERSITY*
“Why are you ignoring me?” Sharon asked Mira.
“I’m right in front of you” Mira replied.
“Mira….
“I don’t like you anymore, got it?” She said curtly then walked away.
“I’m sorry, Mira! Please forgive me! I was naive and a fool too!” She shouted after her but Mira didn’t spare her a glance.
LECTURE HALL*
Diva and Jocelyn are gisting on how their weekend went.
“I still can’t believe Angelina and you are a thing” Diva laughed.
“I know, right?” Jocelyn smiled.
“Reginald still isn’t opening up to me”.
“Maybe it’s something that’s going to hurt you”.
“But he should at least come clean with me”.
“It isn’t that easy, Diva. When you care about someone a lot, you wouldn’t mind carrying a burden on your shoulder and have your heart sting with guilt every passing minute and second, when whatever you have to say to them is going to hurt them deeply”.
“But what could it be?”
“Stop thinking about what he’s trying so hard to keep away from you. He doesn’t want to hurt you, I think”.
“I need to find out though”
“Break up with him and tell him that you’re only going to get back with him if he tells you what you want to know”.
“But we aren’t a couple”.
“I know but try it”.
“Reginald can be a jerk at times. He might not agree to that and think of other ways to get back with me” She replied.
“If you’d ask me, I think Reggie loves you a lot. He just doesn’t show it”
“You think so?…….”
“Think about it, I was having a conversation with Beauty and she said Reggie doesn’t let anyone come to his place be it a visit or whatever and all the girl he fvcked in the past…..”
“What about them?”
“He usually uses an hotel not even his car”
“Meaning?”
“Gosh, you’re such a fool. What am trying to say is, Reggie takes you to his place and you spend days there and he has never taken you to an hotel before. He got you gifts too”
“He got up the necklace and scarf you’re wearing. The bag too!” She continued.
“But it doesn’t……
“What on earth is this if not love?”
“Think about it”
Diva fell silent.
ARABELLA’S ROOM*
“I’m seriously going to kîll that Izzy girl for sure” Arabella swore.
“I found out something interesting about Izzy” Tiffany announced.
“What?” Bluey faced her.
“Izzy is living a double life”.
“What? Be more clear” Arabella’s eyes brightened.
“I trailed her throughout last week and the place she lives is yeck! She lives with her parents too. Her dad is an ex-convict who went to prison for murder” She explained.
“Tell me more”.
“It seems like she has a sugar daddy too” She concluded.
“Seems like? or she has?” Arabella smiled.
“I’m 99.9% precent sure of it and he calls her to an hotel every weekend. I captured her going into and coming out of the hotel”
“I love you!” Arabella hugged her tightly and she grinned happily.
“But that isn’t enough to say she has a sugar daddy” Bluey chipped in.
“True” Arabella hissed breaking the hug.
“I’m sure of it”.
“We should get our hands on her phone. I’m sure we’ll find something there” Bluey said.
“Gosh, imagine Bluey my foolish partner is becoming so smart and coming up with brilliant plans” Arabella hugged her.
“I’m so proud of you” She chuckled happily before breaking the hug.
LIBRARY~8 PM*
Izzy’s phone is on the table while she typed on her laptop.
Her phone chimed. It’s a message from Savage.
- Where are you?
- At the library.
- Okay. I’m on my way.
- Expecting ya.
The lights went off.
“Uh?” She muttered then got up.
She made to pick up her phone and then it fell.
“Fvck” She cussed and bent down to pick it up.
Tiffany covered her nose with a white clothing and she instantly dozed off.
Bluey quickly placed her finger on the sensor and the phone got unlocked.
“Whatsapp” She muttered.
“I can’t find anything shady”
“Keep scrolling, fool” Tiffany said.
“I still can’t….
“You idiot!” Tiffany cussed, snatching the phone from her.
“I love you” Tiffany typed on the search bar.
Two numbers appeared on the screen.
“This is Savage. And this is……
“Seems like someone is coming over here. Take a picture” She ordered Bluey.
“Gosh, they share naughty chats” Bluey muttered, taking pictures on their chats.
“Whoever he is, he’s such a fool. He shares naughty pictures with her but she doesn’t” Tiffany laughed softly.
Savage came in.
“Isn’t that Savage?” Bluey muttered worriedly.
Tiffany exited the app.
“Seems like there’s a blackout” He muttered, dialling Izzy’s number.
Her phone’s screen lit up, shining brightly on their faces.
“Run!” They chorused and then ran away.
“Wait! Who are you?!” He ran towards them then stopped.
He picked up her phone from the ground.
“Who were they?” He muttered.
GIRL’S DORM*
“I’m sorry, Diva. Believe me” Rhett apologized on his knees.
“It’s fine, Rhett. Get up, you’re embarrassing me” Diva said.
“No, let me be like this. I wronged you greatly by joining hands with Arabella” He held her leg.
“Hey, stop making her feel uncomfortable” Mira finally broke her silence.
“I’m sorry, Everyone. I’m betrayer and I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness but please do find it in your heart to forgive me. I’m sorry”
Beauty isn’t present.
“Gosh, I feel terrible” Jocelyn muttered.
“It’s fine, Rhett. Get up” Diva shrugged.
“For real?”
“Yes”
“Thank you!”
“You better not repeat it again” Angelina warned.
Rhett secretly rolled eyes.
“Thanks Diva”
“Get up” She smiled.
PRESIDENT’S OFFICE*
“What’s up, Poo Bear?” Reggie asked with Diva on his laps.
“I love your glasses” Diva replied.
“That’s not what I asked you but try it on” He said wearing her the glasses.
“How do I look?”
“Like a professor” He pecked her cheek.
“Really? I should think about it”
“What?”
“Becoming a professor. I’ll be a good teacher”.
“And I’ll be your top student”
“Showing off how intelligent you are?”
“Not really” He pecked her lips.
“You jerk” She pushed his head backwards with a finger.
“So what’s up with you, Poo Bear?” He wrapped his arms around her.
“You’re not opening up to me and I can’t help but feel like you don’t trust me….well enough to share some certain things about me”
“I’m not hiding anything from you, Poo Bear” He said with a sigh.
“But my instincts tell me something different” She said with a cute pout.
“It’s just a silly thought in there” He said, poking her chest with a finger.
“Adrian Boo” She called.
“Yes”.
“You know how much I care about you, right?” She rested her head on his shoulder.
“Yes. I know”
“So you’ll never do anything to hurt me, right?” She closed her eyes.
“Never. Ever” He assured.
“Hmmm, I missed you”.
“I did too”.
“I feel sleepy. I didn’t get a good night rest, last night” She opened her eyes.
“Why?”
“I had to study for our upcoming tests. Second tests” She frowned.
“Oh…..
“What are you going to get for me if I pass my tests?”
“I’ll fvck you all night long” He joked.
“Adrian!” She sprang up.
“I was only kidding” He chuckled and she frowned sitting back on his laps, but she’s facing him this time around.
“I want you to cuddle me til I fall asleep” She pouted.
“And lay you on the floor once you fall asleep?”
“What are you, a comedian?” She laughed, hitting his chest.
“Gosh, you’re breaking my poor heart” He held her hand.
“I want to break it to pieces, Jerk” She rolled eyes.
“Go on then” He smiled, wrapping his arms around her.
“Shut up and continue whatever you were doing before I came in” She rested her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around him.
“Good afternoon” She said after closing her eyes.
“Afternoon” He chuckled softly.
“Gosh, I can’t believe she fell asleep with my glasses on”.
He slowly picked up his phone from the desk then took a photo of her.
“Cute” He bit his lower lip out of habit as he saved it as his phone’s wallpaper.
“I’ll make it right, Diva. I promise” He moved a strand of her hair from her face to get a clearer view of her beautiful and flawless face.
A WEEK LATER, REGGIE’S LOUNGE*
“What are you saying?” Reggie asked in shock.
“I wanna break up. Let’s cut ties” Diva replied with a straight face.
“Are you fvcking with me?” He arched up his brows.
“No, I’m not”.
“Of course you are”.
“No, I’m not! I want us to stop seeing each other. Let’s part ways for good!” She balled her palms into a fist.
“Why? Did I say something? You spoke to me nicely on the phone, just an hour ago”.
“I was templating at the time but I’ve made up my mind now”.
He grabbed her shoulders tightly.
“Ah!”
He narrowed his eyes, staring deeply at her eyes, and her soul too.
He chuckled softly before letting go of her shoulders, making her confused.
“Fine. Let’s break up” He smiled.
“What?!” She gasped.
“The break up. I want it too” He sat on the bed.
“How could-Fine. I knew from day one that you were a jerk. I wonder how I got to this ugly point with you” She said.
“Aren’t you leaving?”
“I was going to!” She stormed out of the lounge.
He fell on his bed with a loud thud, laughing hard.
“She’s so cute” He grinned.
CLAN*
“So you think Reggie is falling for her?” Lord Finley asked his right hand, Aurelio.
“I think he has fallen for her already. According to the students at the university, they said he beat up Rhett cause of her” Aurelio explained.
“What?! I thought they were friends with the twins too”.
“Yes Lord but Rhett suddenly stopped being friends with Reggie due to an unknown reason”.
“Should we should end Diva already?”
“I noticed something strange throughout yesterday and today”
Lord Finely arched his brows up.
“They didn’t speak to each other whenever they crossed path. Reggie also has this cold look on his face whenever he sees her and she ignores him too”.
“Really?” A smile appeared on his face.
“Yes Lord” Aurelio bowed.
“Let’s spare her then…….for a while”.
“I found out something interesting about her dad too”.
“Spit it out”..
“He’s now a pastor”.
Lord Finley burst out in a mocking laughter.
“That gangster is now a pastor? Interesting. I should visit his church soon” He laughed.
Aurelio joined him, laughing too.
Chapter 35 & 36 : Lord Finley’s Cruel Intentions
Sharon is laying on the couch with her phone in her hands, staring at her old photos with Mira.
“Missing your partner?” Bernie taunted, staring at the phone screen too.
She closed her eyes in frustration then sat up.
“What exactly is your problem?” She almost snapped.
“Nothing. I just enjoy taunting you” He grinned.
“Stop it. I don’t like it, okay?”
“Got it” He laughed and she rolled eyes, wearing her flip-flops.
She then climbed the stairs heading to her room.
A BAR*
“When am I meeting your mom?” Sterling suddenly said.
“W-Why?” Beauty stammered.
“I thought we were a thing already” He grinned.
“Oh….about that….” She took in her lower lip.
“About what?”
“I’m sorry, Sterling but I don’t think I like you….that much. I think I still like Rhett….a bit” She lowered her head.
“Oh….It’s fine. I understand” He smiled lightly.
“I’m just confused about the whole thing and…and…and….
“It’s fine, Beauty. You don’t need to explain. I totally understand” He chuckled softly.
“I’m sorry”.
“Stop apologizing” He chuckled.
“It’s fine. I mean it” He concluded.
“I should get going” She got up.
“I’ll go drop you off”
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll get to the dorm myself” She said in a rush then exited the bar before he could even say a word.
Sterling slowly sat back down in sadness.
REGGIE’S LOUNGE*
Reggie is staring at the photos of Diva he has on his phone.
“How dare she ask for a break up?” He grinned.
“It was quite evident that she was lying. That cutie, does she think she can fool me?” He smacked his lips.
The door opened and Sterling came in.
“Yo, did you drink?” Reggie chuckled, seeing him stagger back and forth.
“Why does she still like him?!” Sterling yelled, falling on the bed.
“Who?”
“Beauty! She still likes Rhett! I seriously thought she was liking me, you know?”
“So sorry about that” He laughed.
“I hate Rhett, Swears” Sterling concluded before blacking out.
“Gosh, he’s such a loser” He laughed.
GIRL’S DORM*
Diva is staring at her phone’s screen.
“What the heck? Won’t he call?” She mumbled.
“Wait, did he just use-No. Don’t be an over thinker. He’s probably busy. Yeah, he’s busy” She convinced herself.
“Are you missing him that much?” Jocelyn chuckled.
“Me? No. Never” She laughed awkwardly.
“Okay….if you say so” Jocelyn smiled, laying on her bed.
Diva took in her lower lip in rage.
“How dare he?” She muttered.
TWO DAYS LATER*
The girls are walking through the hallway, chattering happily.
Reggie and the guys are coming from the other side.
Everyone stopped on their tracks.
Izzy and Savage eyes met.
Sterling and Beauty’s eyes met too.
Diva looked at Reggie but he looked the other way.
Sterling smiled lightly at Beauty before walking away.
Savage just walked away.
Reggie followed, hanging his arm on Savage shoulder.
The girls resumed their tracks.
“What’s up with Savage?” Izzy wondered in her head.
FINLEY’S MANSION*
Lord Finley walked into the house and Ruby rushed to him in excitement.
“I missed you so much, Dad” Ruby beamed, hugging him.
“I missed you too” Lord Finley smiled.
“Hubby” Mrs Finley hugged him and he smiled hugging her back.
FRIDAY NIGHT*
As usual Fridays are for parties at Finley university.
Students could be seen drinking, smóking, dancing, singing, mingling, flirting….everyone is having fun.
“Did you say anything to him?” Mira asked Izzy.
“Not at all. He’s just ghosting me all of a sudden” Izzy replied.
“Just calm down. I’m sure Savage has a reason for doing so” Beauty chipped in.
“I think you should ask him about it physically instead of sending texts and calling” Jocelyn added.
“True” The girls agreed, Diva exclusive.
She’s present there but her mind isn’t.
REGGIE’S LOUNGE*
“Aren’t you going to the party?” Sterling asked Savage and Reggie.
“Not in the mood” Reggie shrugged.
“Me too” Savage muttered.
“Yo, what’s up with you two?” Sterling asked.
No response.
“What’s with the silence?” He said.
“You’re an headache on your own. Just go party, if you want” Savage replied with an hiss.
“What’s up with you, Savage? You’ve being moody and grumpy for at least three days now?” Reggie chipped in.
“It’s Izzy-Its nothing. Nevermind”
Sterling and Reggie exchanged glances.
Sterling entered the party hall then sighted Beauty and Rhett dancing.
The way Rhett roamed his body freely on her body, made him boil in rage.
“Wanna dance?” A girl approached.
He ignored her at first then agreed to.
Beauty turned and saw them dancing.
Ouch! It hurts!
But….why does it?
Sterling spun the girl around and she rested her back on his chest.
Their lips are moving like they’re talking about something.
She tried reading their lips but she couldn’t get a thing.
“May I?” Rhett’s voice brought her back to her senses.
“Uh? What? Yes” She smiled lightly.
He held her chin then leaned in for a kiss.
Diva is shaking her head at a distance, signaling that she shouldn’t do it.
But Beauty couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.
His lips almost made contact with hers, her phone rang.
“Excuse me” She went away.
“Not again. Fvck” He groaned.
He turned and saw Sterling smirked at him.
“If I can’t get her then you can’t too” He mouthed and Rhett’s jaw clenched in anger.
IZZY’S PLACE*
Naomi (Izzy’s mom) heard a knock on the door.
“Who could it be?” She muttered before opening the door.
“Hi, ma’am” Arabella and her minions beamed.
“Hi” Naomi smiled.
“Ma’am, please could we get a tour of your house and interview you too?” Arabella requested sweetly.
“Why?”
“Um, we are government officials and we’ve been asked to come to areas like this and interview the people living here” Tiffany lied.
“Oh….
“It’s not for free though. You’ll get paid” Bluey added.
“Seriously? I should call on my neighbour then” Naomi beamed before leaving the house.
She returned with a woman.
“Am I the only one who sees the uncanny resemblance between Diva and her?” Tiffany muttered in shock.
“Do you by any chance know my daughter, Diva?” The woman smiled.
“Wait, Diva is….your daughter?” Bluey chuckled in disbelief.
“Yes. She schools at Finley. Are you schoolmates with her?” Naomi chipped in.
“Not at all. We are government officials” Arabella chuckled.
“Let’s get started” Bluey said in a rush.
BOY’S DORM*
Izzy rang the door bell repeatedly but no one came out.
She took a deep breath before dialling Savage number.
It’s ringing from inside.
“Is he in?” She muttered.
“What are you doing here?” She heard his voice, behind her and then turned.
“Uh? You are here but your phone……
“Why are you here?” He asked with the calmest voice ever.
“Um, you’ve been ghosting and ignoring me so I thought we could talk or something” She replied nervously.
“Oh…. But I don’t think I have the time though” He replied with a light smile.
“Oh….Okay” She smiled lightly.
“You should…..
He smiled, gesturing her to leave.
“I should leave?”
“Yes” He smiled.
“Oh okay” She waved at him.
“Bye” She left.
He went in.
CAFETERIA*
Diva kept on murmuring to herself.
A guy with brown eyes, brown curly hair, beautiful set of white teeth and the most sweetest smile on earth, approached her.
“Hey Damsel” He smiled.
“Hey…..”
She’s starstruck by his handsomeness.
“May I?”
“Sure” She smiled then he sat opposite her.
“What’s your name?” He asked.
“Diva” She chuckled.
“Pretty”
“What?”
“Your smile is pretty” He complimented.
“Oh thanks” She blushed.
“And you too”
“Oh my gawd, you’re making me blush” She muttered, fanning herself.
“No one told you that before?”
“Someone I used to know said that to me more than a thousand times a day but he never meant it. NEVER” She rolled eyes.
“An ex?”
“Not really” She shrugged.
“Your bag is really beautiful. Where did you get it? I’d love to get one for my sister” He chuckled softly.
“Hmmm…. a sister” She teased.
“Swears. Look. Here is a photo of us together with our parents” He replied with a soft laughter, showing her his phone screen.
It’s his wallpaper.
“She’s so cute” She commented.
“And crazy too” He chuckled.
“The douche got it for me. I was going to trash it but let’s see if he’s going to come back to his senses. He can’t live without me anyway” She bragged with a grin.
“You still gat feelings for him?”
“Not sure…… Does he deserve me?” She muttered then he laughed.
“Not at all”.
“What? You haven’t even met him yet” She laughed.
“I know, right?” He chuckled.
“What’s your name?” She asked, taking a sip of her soft drink.
“Guess” He winked.
“Um, I’m not really good at guessing. So I won’t bother giving it a trial”
“Okay, if you say so. My name is-
“She’s off limit. Stay off” Reggie warned sternly and possessively holding Diva’s hand.
“Let go of-Ah!”
He carried her over his shoulder, earning a loud gasp from her.
“Flirting around, uh?” He said, carrying her bag.
“Let go of me, arsewipe” She hit his back.
“Shut up” He spanked her arse.
Diva’s eyes widened.
“Adrian” She muttered in shock.
“Just shut it” He spanked her again, exiting the cafeteria.
Mouths are widened in shock.
Disbelief.
Surprise.
Just name it!
“You arsewipe” Diva cussed again, hitting his back but he isn’t moved by it, not even a bit.
“Wanna get spanked again…..in public?”
“No!” She replied in a rush.
“So shut up” He ordered, opening his lounge’s door.
“What are we….Adrian!” He threw her on the bed.
He crawled over her.
“Had fun flirting with him?” His eyes showed nothing but jealousy.
“Look, if you’re just looking for a reason to get between my legs then forget it” She replied with a straight face.
He roughly parted her legs….WIDE.
“Adrian! Don’t you dare do it” She warned sternly.
He began chuckling.
“Think I wanna fvck you?” He smirked.
“W-What?” She muttered in confusion but then quickly comported herself like she didn’t give a single damn about him or his existence.
“I missed you, you know?” He said calmly, holding her chin with a finger, staring deeply into her eyes.
“Yet you never called for a day….” She muttered slowly.
“I’m sorry”
She turned away with a pout.
“Don’t be like this, Poo Bear. I’m sorry” He pecked her cheek and she turned.
“I’m not forgiving you!” She pushed him.
She made to climb down the bed.
“Calm down, Poo Bear” He held her wrist.
“So if I wasn’t talking to a guy, you would-
He pulled her on the bed then shut her up with a kiss, a tender, slow and warm kiss which lasted for only ten seconds.
“I’m sorry, okay?” He stared into her eyes.
“I’m not forgiving-
He kissed her again.
“I’m still not-
He kissed her again.
This one lasted longer than the previous ones.
“I’m sorry, Poo Bear” He kissed her eyes, then her nose, followed by planting warm kisses on her cheeks then lastly, a peck on her lips.
She ALMOST smiled but she held it in.
“I want to ask you a question and I need you to be frank with me else we’ll break up for real” She warned.
“Okay” He agreed.
“What did you want to say to me?”
“When?”
“Before the breakup”
“Not again” He groaned getting off her, to sit at the edge of the bed.
