Author's note

Oh my gosh! Finally! It's over! It's a wrap! I'm done with this book! Woohoo! Thanks to God! Phew! This took me two months to write. And you know what? It wouldn't have been a success if you guys didn't support me. To be honest, I was kind of nervous to start this book, wondering if it would be a nice story. But because of your wonderful comments, it encouraged me to write it. Seriously, you need to know how important a reader's comment can be. It's like saving a person from drowning(lol ?).

Epilogue

Three years later…Jill—— "Common!" Jace cried from our bed, groaning at himself. I turned to look at him, and shot him a playful glare. "Are you serious? Just get you damn ass off here." He rolled his eyes, and jumped from the bed. And as he sauntered to me, my eyes glued to his sharp, rock abs, that lined so much as his shirt glued to his body. Moving my eyes down to his lap, I noticed that his cock was crying for help, standing so firm under his sweatpants. I hissed at him, and returned to staring at the mirror. "You had better go to the bathroom," I teased, slipping my robe off. "Today's Shanice wedding, so I need to leave early. There's no time for that." "Just for a few minutes. It'll be a quickie," he continued to convince me. I grumbled. And before I

Eighty eight: United forever.

Wandering in front of the door of the hospital room Jill was, I worried so much, being really unstable. I couldn't think of anything to do, or didn't know how to react. What if Trisha sent someone to poison Jill just like she had poisoned her boyfriend? My mom walked to me, looking equally worried. "My boy," she called, and took my hands in hers. "Let's be hopeful. Nothing will go wrong with her. She'll be fine." I nodded my head even though I was still doubtful. I couldn't have any hope at the moment because I was the only one around who knew how bad Trisha was. "Ok." I inhaled deeply. "I'll try to be hopeful. At least, it's not like I've got any other choice." "Good then." She smiled weakly, and walked back to Jill's mom who was crying already. Why was she crying? It wasn't even like Jill was dead. Seeing how fearful everyone was, I became more angry, then stomped to the

Eighty seven: Wedding

It was exactly eight minutes to twelve o'clock. I hurried out of my car, and rushed out of the parking lot in the church, not even waiting for my bouncers to reach me first. On getting to the front door of the church, I sighted Jill and her mother, and that made me so relieved. To be sincere, I had been thinking about Trisha's threat all along. What if she was actually going to do something again? But well, now that I had seen that Jill was fine, there was no need to worry. "Dude you're late!" Ace complained, walking fast to me. "Jill's been so worried. What happened? The final trial wasn't supposed to take that long." I shut my eyes, then exhaled loud. And opening it, it met Jill's. Shit, I didn't want her to see me. "Jace!" She cried, holding her long gown, and stomping to me. I was almost lost in noticing how beautiful she was, but I decided to not pay attention to that. I was too late

Eighty six: Final Judgement

Three months later… "Mr. Flores!" Brittany barged into my office, holding a bunch of files in her hands, and rushing to my table. "The final judgement on the Miss Maxwell case is only in thirty minutes! You've got to get to the court soon!" "What?! Thirty minutes?!" I hopped from my seat, and slammed my palm against my office desk. "How come you didn't tell me? Jeez, you've not been doing your job so well." "Me?" She bulged her eyes out at me, sounding quite informal. "I've come here to remind you, for the fourth time now. I even got to work by six, in order to ensure you don't miss it." "Oh shit!" I hit my fist against the table. "How'll I get there in the next thirty minutes?" She creased her face, seeming quite infuriated. "Hum, I think you'll get there sooner, if you stop speaking." "Are you shunning me?" I raised an eyebrow at me.

Eighty five: Game. Over.

I shoved the thick white towel I had used to dry my hair, on my neck, and ran my fingers through my wet hair. Wrapping another towel around my naked waist, I stepped out of the bathroom. As soon I stepped into the room of the hotel I was, the first thing my eyes caught was Jill. She was sitting on the bed, tugging her knees to her chest, and digging her head in between them. I breathed out via my mouth, and walked to her. She had been crying since I told her Trisha killed her friend. I tried to console her so much, but she didn't want to stop crying. I also made love to her a few minutes ago, expecting her to feel relief, but instead, she cried more. What could I do? "Jill." I sat on the space beside her on the bed. As soon as she heard my voice, she flinched, and rubbed her face, not looking at me in the eye. "You're done bathing?" She asked. I soothed th

Epilogue

Months later… "Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. Standing up from the well furnished chair, I heaved a deep sigh, smiled from ear to ear. "I'm so happy to finally be a partner of this company. Thanks for accepting my proposal." Mr. Roland, the CEO of one of the most reputable companies in New York, stood up from his seat. Stretching his hand for a handshake, he returned my smile. "Congratulations. We hope to get great results from you," he said. "I'll try my best." I took his hand. After our friendly handshake, I grabbed my purse from the glass that separated Mr. Roland and I, made my way out of his office, then out of the building. Closing my eyes, I inhaled the beautiful air of that afternoon, then smiled on opening them. Today wasn't my birthday alone, it was also my lucky day. First, the doctor had confirmed I was pregnant. And second, the company I wanted to wo

Mom stared blankly at Sebastian and I. All I hoped was for her to accept this relationship. Well, there was a probability she'd accept it. She always said God forgives us for our sins, so we should learn to forgive others. Her eyes moved to Sebastian, then to me. "How did this get to happen?" I couldn't grasp the particular emotion on her face. She widened her mouth, looked at me. "How did he even get here? Am I the only one who finds this weird?" "Ma, I used to think that too." I glimpsed at Sebastian, took his hand in mine, and smiled. "But I think fate purposely sent him to me. Whatever's meant for you, is meant for you." She sighed. "Honey, are you sure this is fine? I mean, I don't want you to… you know, have a heartbreak again." I could feel Sebastian wasn't comfortable with this conversation, so I just chuckled. "It'll be fine. I trust him now. And besides, we're so in love now. O

Fifty seven: Love

Ethan stared at me like he was confused. He blinked four times, dropped his mouth. He wanted to speak, but it was as if something cut his throat. "Seriously?!" He finally spoke, shock in his tone. "How did you guys break up? Wh-What happened?" "I was stupid again," I mumbled. "I said I didn't trust him. So, can you please help me talk to him? Claire's not willing to help me do that." "Oh." He scratched the back of his neck, stood up from the couch. "It's quite late. I don't know if he's asleep." "Ah, oh!" I gasped, leaped from my seat, and looked so worried. "Did he drink alcohol?" He pressed his lips against each other, shook his head no. "Good." I sighed in relief. Staring back at him, I batted my eyelashes, pulled a childish pout. "Go, please. He always listens to you, huh?" He chuckled. "Just go by yourself. And besides,"

Fifty six: Stupid me.

Claire_____ "Right now…" Sebastian scoffed, bit his lips. "I'd rather stay with a pig, than come close to you. You're gross." After stating that to the damn mother-fucking Lauretta lady, he walked away, leaving her to gape. She muttered some things, glared at herself, rolled up her fingers into a fist. Angered, I scorned silently, and sauntered to her. "Hey, bitcho." Hearing my voice, she turned to me. With lowered brows, she gazed at me. "What? Who the heck are you?" She spat out. "Claire Martinez." A smirk grew on my lips. I was flustered, but I just had to keep calm before I'd end up killing her. "Oh. You're his sister?" She flared her nostrils, curved her ugly arms around her chest. "Yes, bitch. His sister, and his helper. I—" "You don't even look like the sister of tha

Fifty five: Break up

I tightened my fist, glared at Lauretta, felt the need to hit her. When she had taken a glimpse sideways, I knew she had been up to something. She had probably seen Adrienne coming, so she had decided to pick up and act. But what was she going to gain from this? Tugging her arm, I yanked her close. "Did you do this on purpose?" "Maybe." Her lips flipped up into a sneer. "Why?" My voice was low, rough and weak. I was scared. So scared. Adrienne had said she “knew it”. What exactly did she know? Had she been doubting me? Had she— It was better to not think about that right now. She licked her lips, slowly raised her fingers to caress my jaw line. "Did I say anything wrong, huh? I'm truly tired of having to wait for you. This is the second time I've come to Florida. Why can't you see I want you? You've stopped giving me money, but that's not just it. I want you."&nb

Epilogue

ACE "Daya and Ace." A voice called from behind. I twirled to face who it was, and turned back to wink at Daya. She smiled like she was shy, and her cheeks turned tomato red. "Stop that Ace." She blushed, and gently hit against my arm. "You're making me feel weird." I smiled stylishly at her, and stood up from sitting beside her. "I'll be leaving now." I informed her, and winked again. "Good." She said, remaining in her sitting posture. I bent a little, and dropped a kiss on her cheek. "Bye dear. See you anytime soon." "Bye." She grinned back at me. "Good luck on your date." I added silently, still bending to her ear. "Thank you." She replied in a whisper. I turned to the door, and smiled at the young adult my seventeen years

Attack: Last chapter

"Common Ace." I pouted like a child as I sat beside him on the bed, and tucked my arms across my chest, frowning slightly at him. He rolled on the bed lazily, and rubbed his hands against his sleepy eyes. "Mia…" He called amidst a soft yawn. "I'm so tired. Let me sleep for one more hour." "You want to sleep right?" I cried, and shifted to the corner of the bed. "Fine. I'll leave you here." I was about to stand up when he held my hands and pulled me back to him, causing me to gasp and fall on his chest. "Where are you going kitten?" He teased, forming a smile by the corner of his attractive lips. I continued to frown, and averted from staring into his eyes. "I told you to get up, and you're ignoring me." I complained. He raised his left hand to my face, and turned my jaw to look at him again. "I'm so sorry my princess. I've been

One more chance

Waiting for an answer from her, I stared and did nothing. I wondered what she was planning to say. There was no excuse she could sputter anymore. Her lie was definitely the most stupid thing I had ever heard from anyone. While I searched for some things about her, I saw my picture, my mom's, and our wedding pictures. I seriously couldn't explain how she had them with her, but all I knew was that I was so glad I found it. A tear dropped from one of her eyes, making her to suddenly avert from our stare. I wish I could feel how hurt she was. Her husband literally sent her out of her home because he couldn't believe her. I was indeed a foolish guy. She sniffed, and rubbed her palm against her tearing eyes, still not looking at me. "What do you want?" She asked calmly, concentrating on the window as if I wasn't there. Her weak voice weakened me as well. I became so rueful and sorrowful,

Seen her

I stared at her in confusion. She was only hardening my pain. What was she asking? Was she trying to joke around or something? "What's going on, Mr?" She questioned sharply, tapping my hands from her arms. I furrowed my brows in a great deal of puzzlement, and held her arms again. "Can't you speak?" She caught me out of my thoughts. "You first came into the ladies restroom, and now you're calling me Mia. What's with you?" "What's wrong with you Mia? Are you…" I tried to speak again. "Hey." She retorted, jerking from my hold, and raising a finger to point it in my face. "Don't try to act smart dude. I know what you guys do. You come to poor ladies like us, and try to hook up with us for a night." "Hook up? What's wrong with you Mia?" "I should be asking you that. Mister." She attacked my words immediately.

Who are you?

"Hey Mr Norman." One of the representatives of a really great company in Fort Myers, walked to me, smiling broadly like he just won a lottery. His bright eyes glowered in his wrinkled dark skin, making him seem so appealing. I tried to return his smile, as I walked towards him before he reached me. "Hi Mr Balogun." I greeted him. "It's really nice to see you again." He stretched his hands for a handshake, still keeping his smile. I accepted his friendly handshake. "Same here. How have you been?" "I've been doing so great." He replied enthusiastically in his luring African intonation. "It's just that I've been quite busy in my country, Nigeria. I haven't had time to work here in the states." "Oh. I get you." I nodded my head in acceptance. "And thanks for your great proposal in the meeting." "You're highly welcome." He grinned, and raised his hands

Forty eight: End, Beginning.

The cool breeze staggered through us, teased my hair, causing goosebumps to rise on the exposed part of my skin. I smiled as I stared up at the sky, so happy. Particularly happy because Roy was with me. He had his arms around my waist from behind, no inch left between us. "When will you return?" I asked him, my voice soft. He pecked my ear. "In a week. You'll miss me?" "Hmm, maybe." He sighed. "Renee, I'm so glad we're finally going to be happy." "Me too." I sighed. "I can't wait for you to graduate. We'll be able to leave here, and start a life together," he said. That melted my heart. So he also wanted to start a life with me? So nice. "Yeah." Dropping another kiss on my ear, he stepped backwards, held my arms, and twirled me around to face him. He looked stre

"Pancake or?" I gave Mom a questioning look, waiting patiently for her to answer my question. She sighed. "Pizza. Just order a pizza." "Good." I grinned at her, rushing to get my phone from the living room. I was particularly happy because I wouldn't have to cook any longer. I logged in to the website of the store I loved to order food from, and ordered a pizza immediately. Done with that, I sauntered back to the kitchen. Stepping in, I sighted mom first. She was glued to her phone, and for some reason, sweat seeped on her forehead. Her eyes were widely open, and she swallowed. She looked tense. "Mom?" Hearing my voice, she flinched. She blinked about two hundred times in one second, inhaled hard. "Oh, dear. Have you ordered the pizza?" I nodded, pulling a concerned look. "Mom, what's going on? Why do you see

Forty six: Home

I watched as Virg packed her stuff, tears in my eyes. Her mom was here to take her home. And, I didn't know when next I would see her. She said she wasn't sure she would survive the cancer, and thinking about that, I was even more fearful. I just couldn't think of losing her. "When will the dorms be shut?" She asked, snapped her neck in my direction, smiled at me. "Um…" I smiled to ensure she didn't notice the tears in my eyes. "Tomorrow, I think." "That means y'all will be leaving today, right?" She zipped her big box, starting to arrange her bed. "Yeah. Barb left yesterday," I informed her. "Honey." Mrs. Julio, Virg's mom, ambled into the room. This woman was definitely the youngest mom I had ever seen. Tall, slim, her dark skin so fresh, curvy figure, and her partial grey hair always neatly styled.

Forty five: Silly

The elevator stopped when it reached the floor of Roy's Condo. Stepping out, I headed to the condo. Smiling, I took a glance at the cookie I had made for him. And, raising my neck, that was when I had to bump into someone. I would admit, I was quite clumsy. Ah. Shit. No. Not now. This moron, Kathleen. What the heck was she doing here? She scoffed. "Damn, you again? Whenever I see you, I always feel like starting my day over." "Stupid," I muttered, scoffed as well. "Woman, you think highly of yourself. Funnily enough, you've got a really low standard. A person who can stoop so low as stealing a babe's guy, has no class at all." "Blah blah." She flapped her hand in the air, rounded her eyes like the idiot she was, sneered as well. "Poor you. I'm so sorry for you. Like I'll say, that dude's mine. And it's so sad you're not willing to back off." I sighed in frustration. "

I moved my lips, but said nothing. I was so shocked. How had it happened? How had she gotten to meet a boy? This sounded too crazy to be true. "Bella, how did it happen?" I managed to ask. She stopped wailing, put her eyes down, sobbed. "A few weeks ago, I went to the club. I wanted to speak with you, but you weren't there. Your boss said you weren't working that night. And then, I-I saw Jason there." "Jason?" I dropped my mouth. So she slept with that idiot? Really? "Yeah." She rubbed off the tears on her cheek. "He offered to have a drink with me, and I accepted. I didn't want to, but I thought it would be a good way to get rid of the stress I felt." "Oh goodness."
