My Monster


Chapter 24

Friday was worst, even Gabriella said I knew about Eric, I felt so tired worst Eric wasn't in school, even when Amanda stood up for me I still felt defeated.
Kevin made sure to plaster how Eric deny having anything special with me and no lover will ever do that. Nothing was enough to brighten my day, even the news of Eric exposing Mr Offor for loathing the company, I was suppose to feel proud for he achieved so much in such a young age, but I still feel sad. So sad I couldn't even cry, I thought crying is the peak of sadness, I thought wrong. The peak of sadness is total tiredness, nothing seem to stir you up, you just become a living dead, counting your step as you walk as if you're heading to your grave. The worst kind of sadness is the love kind of sadness.
        I left school without waving anybody, I just want to go home and lie down, when my driver got home I climb down only to stand face to face with Eric.
"Barbie" he called, I wanted to move forward and hugged him but remembering the interview made my feet get stuck.
"Why are you here" I said tears now flowing. He looked surprise at my question.
"To see you?" He said
"You, the heir to the biggest network company, came to see me, just a classmate" I asked as my throat tightened, I felt a bitter bile rose up from my stomach. Epiphany struck him and he tried to come closer but stopped when I stepped back.
"Barbie that was just an interview" he said
"Yea, an interview the whole world saw" I said wiping my eyes. "I should've expected it when you didn't reply when I professed to you" I said remembering that night. "You made me believe the fairytale was just a game to you, am just a game to you" I said weeping. He sighed
"Before fairytale, fun, passion, feelings, wealth power, before everything, my first duty is to protect you" he said and came a bit closer. "Barbie am like a time bomb, at a point I will explode and damage everything in my part, my life is in danger" he got close enough and held my hand "in other to protect you and keep you from harms way, I have to give them that answer" he said, I want to believe him I so want to, but my heart is too hurt to.
"You're lying" I said
"We are having a mask party today, please do come and I will prove it all to you" he said, he looks desperate, I want to refuse, I fear I will experience more heart break but his looks makes my heart melts.
"Please Barbie" he pleaded. I just nodded gently he visibly relaxed. "I will leave you to go prepare I already told your parent" he said and my eye widened, dad came back last night I avoided him this morning so I won't explain anything to him. Now this monster have gone and break the ice.
"No you did not" I said with close teeth
"Yes I did barbie" he said and I rushed inside I heard him giggling.
Dad was in the sitting room when I entered,with newspaper on his hand
"Good afternoon dad" I greeted and he turned to me
"You're back" he said, mom came out all dressed.
"Where are you going mom" I asked and she smiled
"The Stephenson's invited to a mask party, so am going to go get some mask" she said and left, my mom is always up for a party, now am alone with dad, I rushed outside to go get Eric so he also will bear with me. Imagine my disappointment when I found out he's gone, I slowly went inside.
"So, I came home only to find your face in daily sun front page" he said and I sucked up "the boy he came, talking about how special you're and how honoured he will be if we came" he said and flipped his paper. I tried to speak but no word formed
"He's courageous, not all teen boy have the nerves to meet the girls parents" he said and looked at me I dropped my eyes immediately "what do you think of him" he asked.
There is no way am telling my dad am in love with him, no father wants to hear his teenage daughter talking about love.
"He is good friend of mine" I said with rapsy voice.
"I hope so" he said and motioned me to leave, I left in a robotic way. When I got to my room I brought out my phone and switched it on, that's my daily routine, after boothing I received a text from an unknown number
"Wear something hot Barbie"
I smiled, only one calls me Barbie, wipe the smile off your face, weren't you suppose to be angry at him, my inner voice said. True, but after his explanation and seeing how handsome he is, its sort of difficult to stay mad at him
"How did you get my number" I sent him
"Easy, your mom" he replied almost immediately. I giggled and sat down, I think I will remove my uniform later.
"Typical of her, am not coming though" I replied just to see his reaction
"Simple I will bring the party to your house then" he sent, how brutal,
"You monster" I replied
"Barbie, that's what makes me different, for am a monster among men" He replied, I giggled
"No debate, I know, so you caught the culprit" I asked
"Yea, and I know his in affiliation with the murderer too, so am hoping the murderer will make a move pretty soon"
"Then isn't dangerous throwing a party"
"Probably, but am done being afraid or hiding, I've got you" he said and it warmed my heart, I wish his near so I could kiss him, I miss him
"I miss you" I sent, my eye widened as I realise it will make me feel desperate, worse he never replied. Even as night came and as I prepare for the party, my happiness suddenly went bitter, I even tried to stay home but father insisted, so I dressed up and left with them. I finally made the decision not to care too, this is the end of my first love.

Sacrifice

Chapter 11 I feel bad for what I have done, worst Paul didn't come out to help the situation, I misjudged him, maybe truthfully he followed Peter's footsteps then why isn't he here as Peter is here. "I won't allow her raise that bastard under this roof" she barked "Indirectly you're asking me to leave" Peter stared at her. She hesitated before replying "Am saying she should go, you have a future ahead of you" she said "So does she" Peter said pointing at me, I have never heard of anyone standing for a baby that isn't his. "Don't ruin your life for her" "Mom, its certain you guys won't accept her, and I can't stand and watch her being cast put by both families, so I will just leave with her to safe you all the stress and embarrassment" he said, not waiting for his mother to reply he went inside and brought out his bag, he must have prepared beforehand. "Come Missy, let's go...

MY BILLIONAIRE BOYFRIEND

Chapter 6    "Sorry babe" he kept apologizing, I locked my room and he was begging I should open up, am more mad at myself than him, how could I be this weak "It won't happen again"  I smiled a bit at his desperation, then it hit me, I need to ask him about the party "I can only forgive you on one condition" I said, and I can imagine him, sitting up "Anything babe" "There is this party, my friend fiancee is hosting, not a party just a gathering of friends, so every girl is to come with her boyfriend" I paused "And?" "And I want you, I mean I would like you to come with me" I said nervously "Let me get this straight, you girls are asked to come with your boyfriends" he asked "Yes" I answered anxiously waiting for his reply "And you want, me" "Yes dimwit" I answered, he should free me "You should have asked me to be your boyfriend in a more romantic way babe...

MY BILLIONAIRE BOYFRIEND

Chapter 10    He was looking at me with a shock expression, guess he didn't plan on this, what was his motives for lying to me, reporters where taking pictures, he regain his composure and started answering their question "I heard he is such a playboy" I heard one of the guest said "Yea, its normal for a billionaire like him" a girl said "I don't mind, I will be fine if I get to be his play thing" a girl said with a chuckle, tell me why I haven't slap her, "So you don't mind that he have a lot of girls already" one asked with a disgusting look, now am liking this one. Am still looking at Ejike as he is posing for camera, he throw glances at me. "Yea, beside I heard he is a sex god" the insane girl said, now I remembered what happened on Sunday night, "cause he have been with many girls" she said, no wonder he is that good, I felt my heart bleed as I imagine him with many girls. "I also hear he use a...
