Kingsworld

Chapter 37 He returned his eyes to my face then pull back, I felt my heart rate up, maybe am just thinking too much, I decided to push it to the back of my mind "So it's fun?" he asked "Yes!" I screamed "truthfully speaking I might not have had this much fun if I went out," I said "Oliver will be sad," he said and I sort of felt sad "Yes," I said sadly "you might think me a fool for being in love with someone for so long," I said "Actually, I can relate to that," he said and sipped his drink, I looked at him "What do you know about love," I asked and he smiled "You'd be surprised," he said "Tell me," I said as curiosity got the best of me "At least I know the willingness to become the villain so your love interest may be the hero," he said with a shrug "Wait let me get this straight, you will be seen as the bad one so the other will be the good one?...

Chapter 36 "We are traveling, and make sure to stay home and not repeat what you did" dad warns the devil, "Yes boss," he said and glanced at me, with that I have my mind made up, I won't go, I will call Oliver and tell him "Stay save children," mom said and they both left. "I heard there is a party going on today," he said, we have become more civil towards each other "Yea I heard so," I said sadly and slumps on the sofa. "So will you be going?" he asked I just shook my head. He smiled and sat opposite me, after an hour nearing the time Oliver gave him I received his call "So are you done?" he asked "No, am not coming," I said, then prepared to hear his reaction "What, why," he asked "The last one was a disaster, so I don't want to go" not really I want to go, but the situation won't let me, and I don't want to disobey my parent. "Come this time it's ...

Chapter 35 When I came back he is not at home, I quickly did both our chores and waited for him to return. I kept thinking of what to do when he comes back. I rushed over to him when I heard him come in. "You are back?" I asked how lame. He looked at me with a stone look, now I realized he always smile at me, but today he didn't and that broke me "Just go away," he said and walked to his room, more like limped "Am sorry, how is your ankle?" I asked fiddling my finger "I thought you cared about your boyfriend's nose than my ankle," he said and went inside his room, he shut the door shutting me out. This is Friday I still have the entire weekend to earn his forgiveness, he told our parents it's just an accident, he didn't put the blame on Oliver. I was glad for that, speaking about Oliver he kept calling and texting I ignored it but I will give him the chance to explain himself tomorrow. I don't want to make the mistake of...

Chapter 34 The look on his face is definitely a reward to me, I glared at him "What's did you just do?" he asked in a low threatening tone "It's not even enough to calm me down, as if making my life miserable is not enough you have to drag Oliver too," I asked and he smirked like I didn't just slap him earlier "The punk got what he deserved," he said "You are a monster and one day you will have your retribution," I said and walked away from him, he is incurable. The next morning I left early to school, luckily I didn't see him, that's good, that means my day will be good, our parents didn't notice anything, when they call him for dinner last night he said he wasn't hungry, I hope he dies He wasn't in school today and that was just perfect, Oliver and I had the best time of our lives, everything is perfect except Martha who kept bugging me about the devil. I went to the canteen to buy pie when I saw Chike, E...

Chapter 33 How is it possible to have your heart broken twice a day by the same person, when we got home I quickly finished our chores and started the note, luckily Martha took the biology home. I received a call from an unknown number, I instantly knew its Oliver "Hello" I answered sounding as sexy as I can "Hello Esther, is me, Oliver," he said, and I smiled "I know" I replied, we started chatting, I dropped my pen and concentrated on my boyfriend, he makes me so happy, I have a feeling that I will kiss him soon. "So you even have time to make a call" the devil barked "I already finished one," I said blocking the mouthpiece of the phone "You are done when I say so" he looks angry, he should know am angrier "Am talking to my boyfriend" I said and he started laughing a throaty laugh, it sounded so rich but I still hate him. "Your relationship won't last," he said, what nerves, "Who made y...

Chapter 32 "What do you need me for?" I asked as serious as I can "I have some notes to copy, my hand is tired so why not help me and complete them," he said with a shrug like he didn't just break my heart "I can do it later, the teacher only check the note on the last week before the exam" I tried to reason with him "Do it now, you are not doing anything now" he said, chatting with my boyfriend is obviously nothing to him. "Alright master. So can I have it" I asked and he smirked. He opened his desk and brought out his whole note, 10 subjects in total "which one?" I asked "All of it" I gasped, then opened them, he has not even written anything, we are now in 7th week and he has not written anything. "How am I suppose to finish this," I asked, its time to start reading for the exam. "Don't know don't care, just finish it all" he said, what sort of deal did I make with him. ...

Chapter 31 "What!" I said and jerked away, he giggled, "So do you agree?" he asked, "No way" there is no way am going to accept this, I move towards the door "Where are you going cupcake," he asked "Am going to go tell mom and dad everything, and make things clear tomorrow with the principal," I said "Then what will happen to the pain I endured, will you still be happy after that?" he asked and I remembered the scar, truthfully I won't be, why does he always have an upper hand I went back and stood before him, I knelt down before him as I felt defeated, I felt his shadow tower over me like the bogeyman. "Get up, go sleep for tomorrow you start," he said and I stood up, I hate he always defeats me, I thought things changed, but obviously nothing did. I walked towards the door but stopped when he called, funny how obedient I became "Your first duty is to do my morning chores and carry my back bag to ...

Chapter 29 The whole teaching was just a shout to a deaf ear, I kept looking his way, now that I need to see his face he didn't even look my side. After the break, I tried to go meet him, but he has already gone before I reached him only to come back when the lesson resumed. I decided to approach him after school, he doesn't seem to be in pain but I know the chemistry teacher flogging is out of this world, we even believe he is military. I was so glad when I heard the dismissal bell, I quickly arranged my books I look at his side to see that Martha has already beat me to it, she is talking with the devil. I quickened my pace to meet up "Hello Esther" Oliver called and I stopped "Whatsup," I asked, with a smile, its just automatic "I have been meaning to ask you something," he said nervously "What?" I asked giving him full attention, Martha has already left with the devil, what's the hurry I will meet him at home "It might...

Chapter 27 When I came to school I looked for Oliver, I went to him immediately I saw him "So how did you go on Friday?" we asked together "My brother came and took me before they arrived" I answered first and he sighed, he looked relieved "What about you?" I asked "I ran when they arrived, I looked for you but couldn't find you so I figured you left," he said with a shrug "Am glad we are both safe" I said giving him a cute smile, he returned the gesture "I heard some people were caught, and will severely be punished today," he said, and I felt sorry "It ought to happen, they were smokers in there, no parents will be happy about that," I said as I remembered the smokers "Thank God we weren't, come on let's get to class," he said and we both walked to class. When we entered I involuntarily again look at the devils' side, but he wasn't there, and some of our classmates are not. ...

Chapter 25 We have been dancing for like an hour, though I was holding back Reason, because my best dance is twerking, I know it will give me a lot of attention but it will make me appear slutty, so I was just moving around, "Come on dance harder" Oliver prompt me but I couldn't free myself "Am thirsty can you get me something" I said and Oliver left to get me water, I took a deep breath I search the crowd to see Martha dancing with Mike, he is our classmate, People are busy dancing then it surprised me when I saw some guys smoking Now this isn't what I pictured, I know parties that have smokers ends in a fight Now I remembered the devils warning, suddenly I want to leave "Cupcake" I heard his voice even in all this music, I turn to see the devil "What are you doing here?" I asked, so he came even when he warned me not to "No time to argue, let's go," he said with a firm voice, does he think am his property ...

Chapter 23 "Have you heard about the Friday party?" Oliver asked, he came to my desk, its almost dismissal "Yea," I answered, I stiffed like being held at a gunpoint "If you can make it, am thinking if we can get to talk more about the prefect stuff," he said scratching the back of his neck, how cute Oliver is shy "And you know get to know each other more," he said and I was overwhelmed "Sure, I would love that," I said but actually am already picturing him proposing to me. "So, a date then," he said and my eyes widened "not like a date date, its a date not date like a date" he balled his hand into a fist "what am I saying" he looks frustrated, a huge part me is happy for making him like this "I understand what you mean," I said and he relaxed "Friday then," he said and left but not before giving me his gorgeous smile. On Friday I went to our school field to see him, the boys al...

Chapter 21 Everything moved on normally, except for the girls that kept bugging me to talk to the devil "Come on, help me out" a girl from ss1 is bugging me, it quite tiring "Why not go talk to him yourself," I asked her "He hardly stops when someone approaches him," she said, that's what they all say "Esther, the principal is calling you," Martha said to me, speaking of Martha she rarely comes to my house "Is anything wrong?" I asked, she just shook head and left, so I ran along "Come in," the principal said after the first knock, I saw Oliver too, he is here "Sit down" I sat beside Oliver who gave me the sweetest smile, gosh he is perfect, not that devil why do I have to compare them "I called you both here to talk to you about the post of prefect" the principal said Cool my dream is coming true "Yes," we both said "I want Oliver as the senior prefect and you the assistant,...

Chapter 19 Finally, the devil has been registered, he already brought his desk and chair Though he didn't start right away, I could see all the girls eyes on him He didn't even look shy or scared like a new student, in fact, he makes the old ones scared Martha looks like she is about to wet her pants when the devil walked in to drop his desk I have a feeling things will change with him here, he just winked at me when our eyes meet He left without receiving any lesson. Almost every question I received from my classmate today were all about him, the girls were super excited for his return I wonder if they have not learned their lesson, he literally snubbed them when we were in junior class. "So are you excited about me starting school," the devil asked "Just stay clear of my way" I barked he chuckled "Come on, I live for your misery," he said, the memory of all he did came back I closed my eyes to calm myself "Things has changed,...

Chapter 17 When we got home, Martha left, though she promised to stay till evening She barely looked at that devil, is she also frightened "So here is our new home," I said "Not bad, so where is everybody?" He asked "It's Saturday, so mom is at the shop dad is at work, though he will soon be back" Dad rarely go to work on Saturdays, he just nodded and worked around the house "So where is my room?" he asked and I showed him, "thanks," he said and went inside He shut the door, I think he is tired and wants to sleep, so I went to my room too and locked the door The devil is here now so I should keep my guard up. I woke up later in the evening, I heard some noise, it seems everybody is back "So Mavis, how have you been?" my mom asked, they are both in the kitchen "Been cool," he said, he is helping her out, how come he is this nice to them I left them to go chat up with dad in the living room "Ho...

Chapter 15 After the scary moment, my dream of him resurfaced It hunted me for weeks, how can he have such power even when he is far away After a while I forgot about it, the excitement of the new class helped The school will soon resume, and I will be in ss2 then will officially hold a post in the second term I woke up this night, to finish the novel I started earlier, am a sucker for a romance novel It's titled "When lightning strikes" I love reading cause I imagine it to be Oliver and me I was happy when I finished it, I heard a sound as I was about lying down More like a conversation, my parents normally do it, this time I decided to go eavesdrop "I pity him, he hardly shows his emotions and he has been through a lot" that's my dad's voice, I just stayed at a corner I can't see them, so they can't see me too "I know, that's why it's better...... " my mom I couldn't hear her last words "we have already rece...

Chapter 13 Everything in my life is splendid, the devil is no more Am now in ss1, and yes am still crushing on Oliver I couldn't make my move cause he dating Amina A girl in our class, but I have hope I know things will be fine As long as the devil is no more, our new house is splendid Four rooms apartment, I always describe it as cute Am also super close with dad, but I just hate it when he brings up the devil And in dads eyes, that devil is an angel My mom's supermarket is now on the next level, I can't wish for a better life It's been two years mom got married and no issue Though dad is really not concerned mom is stressed I know things will be fine, as long as the devil is not in sight. "So girl have you given up on him yet?" Martha asked, she knows everything "Nope, I will wait, you know all good things come to those who wait," she said the last phrase with me "Soon our ss1 will be over and we will be a step closer to being t...

Chapter 11 When I woke up it was already 10 am, wow I slept all through, its Saturday I wonder why nobody woke me Not even the devil. I slowly came out of the room, mom will be busy in the kitchen by now Dad will be gisting him, that's how lovely they are I was surprised when I saw only mom in the kitchen "Good morning mom" "Finally awake" she mocked "Sorry mom, was super tired," I said and sat at the kitchen stool I normally clean the toilet and bathroom and my room, Then the devil clean the sitting room and our parents' room, I wash mom's cloth, he washes dad, so our duties are shared. "Let me go clean up the toilet," I said as I stood up to leave. "It is already been taking care off," she said, and it surprised me "How?" I asked "Mavis did all the cleaning last night," he said, that's impossible, The devil has never made my life easy, Now I remembered what he said yesterday, I go...

Chapter 9 The devil continued making my life a living hell, my Jss 3 is something I will never forget because of him, sometimes he won't play any prank on me, even up to a week, when I think he has forgotten all about me he will come at me with a bigger prank. Today is our last paper, I know this will be last chance to tell Oliver so am determined not to let it slip. After the paper, everybody was jubilating, except the devil who is just standing and watching, he doesn't have friends, he doesn't want to, cause I hear stories of how he turned down girls that want to date him, even from the senior class, some even begged me to help them. I wonder what they see in him, they should just look past his handsomeness and see the ugliness in him. I search the crowd to see my Oliver and friends throwing sachet water at each other, some of the girls are included. I took my time to look at him, that's the guy I want to be with, he is good, humble and good looking, I know girls s...

Chapter 7 I didn't even confront him, I cried so much already and confronting him will make me cry more, I looked at him, he is seated at the back, he is tallest and also one of the oldest, am 13 and he is 15, most guys fear him and he hardly makes friends. At first, I wanted to change that and make him socialize, but seeing the devil he is, it's better he is alone. "Have you dried them?" Martha asked, I gave her a nod, it's already afternoon so most of it is dried "Look at the bright side, you have Oliver to work with," she said and my mood lifted up, the prefect, gave me and Oliver a portion to work together. "Maybe I will tell him then" I said and looked at his side, he is chatting with his guys, he is so perfect, not like the devil I know, I now looked at him, he is looking at the window, looking angry, is the window provoking him now, I rolled my eyes, then as I regain my vision he has his eyes on me, the angry expression is gone, he s...

Chapter 5 "How is that your business," I barked at him "Cause I want to boil water, cupcake," he said with a smirk "For the last time, am not cupcake," I said and stomped off, "I hate him," I said to Martha "That's what brothers do," she said trying to sympathise with me. "Call me later, mom needs her phone." she said, yea, she uses her mothers' phone "Alright," I said and cut the call as I went back to check my noodles, The devil is already standing by the corner drinking tea, he drinks tea a lot so I don't need anybody telling me it is his favourite. I gave him a stink eye and dished out my noodles. I left the kitchen for him since his presences turn my tummy, I went to my fortress, my room. I breathe in and out and took a few seconds to calm my nerves and flush out the devil from my thought, I always use the fantasy of Oliver to flush him out, works always. "Now noodles, time to face d...

Accidental Brother. Chapter 1 Here is my question. Do you believe in a soulmate? you know, someone you are created for, someone that gives you both the butterfly and electricity, that one person you can proudly call your other half. Yea, I so believe in a soulmate, I mean its the best kind of love. You can see how beautiful it is from Romeo and Juliet, forget the fact they died young, but come on it's because they know they can't go on without each other, that's the power of soulmate. So imagine how bad it is for me to have all this soulmate vibe from my brother, my step brother actually, looking at it I think it's better to fall for the enemy than family. At first it wasn't like this, at first I hate him to the bone, he is a bad bully, he should've been born a bull, but with recent event things change and I find myself irresistibly attracted to him, I just can't shake away the fact that I see him as my soulmate. Well before you call me incest, sit back an...
