Bonnie’s Pov:
“Damn it! What do you mean you couldn’t shoot him?” I asked angrily on the phone.
“I’m sorry, ma’am; but I couldn’t get clear sh0t at him. He was with his wife and if I had pu-ll-ed the trigger, there’s a great possibility she’d have been hit” the animal replied on the phone.
“Well, and sofu-cking what? You should’ve done away with her as well. I don’t give a damn. The most important thing was killing Ryan!” I retorted.
“I’m sorry, ma’am…”
“Well, you should be sorry for your worthless self. I heard you guys were professionals, but you turned out to be completely useless” I growled and he kept mute.
“Listen to me; you better find a way to fix this. I paid you awesomely for this and I want it done. Get Ryan killed!”
“Yes ma’am” he replied and i ended the call.
Gosh! Annoying things.
Just a simple task – a simple task, yet they couldn’t accomplish it.
I want Ryan dead at all cost. I nee-d to take that pride away from his mother. I nee-d her to feel the pains of not having a son – just like she made my mother feel.
And I’m going to accomplish it at all cost.

Bethel’s Pov:
#Monday_morning .
I woke up and did the normal routine – bath, dress up for school and go downstairs for breakfast.
As usual, everyb©dy was alre-ady seated there, eating. It seems I’m always the last person to show up.
“Good morning mum” I greeted Ryan’s mum as I took a seat.
At least, today, I made a difference. I greeted her before she called me.
“Oh! Bethel, how’re you doing darling?’ She beamed.
“I’m fine mum..thanks” I smiled and awaited the maids to serve my meal.
Ryan was sitting next to her and just focused on his meal.
*
Without hesitant, I started eating and in a while, I was done.
“I’ll be on my way now” I said, referring to no one in p@rticular as I stood up with my bag.
“Okay dear. Take care” Ryan’s mum – as expected – replied.
“Hold on” Ryan suddenly said, ma-king me st©p.
He didn’t say anything as he took a napkin from the table and cleaned his pinkl-ips with it.
“Come on” he said and started walking ahead of me and I slowly followed him behind, not having a clue of what was going on.
We got outside to the parking lot and his guards opened one of his jeep for him before we got there.
“I’ll drop you off at school – before proceeding to my meeting” he said and entered the car, leaving me a bit stunned.
Huh? He…wants to drop me off at school?
For a moment I st©pped walking as the thought flitted throu-gh my mind.
Then, I shook it off and got into the car as well, sitting next to him and in no time, we were on the road.
“Thanks” I said lowly and all he did was nod.
Oops! I can’t believe Ryan’s giving me a ride to school. I mean, who would’ve thought?
*
The ride was long and sweet and finally, we drove into the mas-sive school building.
The window of the car was transparent and I guess the students could see clearly into it, cause I guess that explains why they all started staring keenly at us.
“Thank you” I said to Ryan again as his guards opened the door for me.
“You’re welcome” this time around he replied and I smiled and stepped out of the car.
Holy Molly!
They were taking pictures of us – almost all the students around.
What the heck?
Ryan’s cars started driving out and I lowered my head and started approaching the building.
I’m really not used to this – I’m not a people person. I usually get nervous when people focus their eyes on.me this way.
Oh my God! Did you see that?
I over heard them talking.
Ryan dropped her off at school today.
Oh, my gee! She’s so lucky!
How do I get to clas-s today?
Thank goodness! Nicole showed up.
Hah! Perfect.
“Bethel!” she called ecstatically as she stood in front of me.
“Hi” I replied and tucked my hair behind my ear.
“Oh, my! Bethel, did I just see correctly? Did…Did Ryan really drop you off?”
She beamed and I couldn’t help but feel flu-shed.
“Oh my gee! Someone’s becoming a celebrity. I’m so happy for you, B” she said ecstatically and I just smiled.
Gosh! I was blu-shing from all round.
“Come with me; I nee-d to get something from the booksto-re”.
“Okay” I replied and started walking along with her.
At least now, I could walk comfortably.
“So. Tell me, Bethel – how did it happen? How did you and Ryan make up?’ She asked along the way and I took out time to give her a brief details of it.
“Wow! That’s really incredible, you know? I’m so happy for you guys. At least now, you two can have a perfect valentine tomorrow” she said and my eyes beamed.
Oh, valentine!
“Valentine is tomorrow?” I asked and she scrawled her eyes at me.
“Of course, Bethel. Don’t tell me you forgot. Tomorrow’s couple days. Hm. Too bad I don’t have a b©yfri£nd” she said wistfully and I nudged her.
“Will you snap out of it? What do you nee-d a b©yfri£ndfor?’ I asked and she laughed.
“Oh, really? So, because you’re married, you don’t see the nee-d for a b©yfri£ndanymore right? Says a married lady who was caught k!ss!ngher ex b©yfri£ndfew days ago” she tea-sed and I g@sped and tried hitting her, but she ran away.
“You’re so annoying – you know that?” I grinned pla-yfully.
By that time, we had gotten to the booksto-re and we both walked in together.
But come to think of it; what would tomorrow be like?. I mean valentine.
You know, it was going to be my first valentine with my…husband.
Nicole quic-kly got the book she wanted and we left afterwards.
As soon as we got outside, we saw something…crazy.
It was Blair – taking selfies in front of a flashy car.
Wow!
That car was…killing!
It was super cool.
What the heck?
She giggled happily and continued taking pictures of herself.
“Hm. Crazy as-s” Nicole said, standard beside me.
“That’s Bugatti. And her father just acquired it recently. Its one of the latest models and quite expensive, you know? According to what I heard, only few important people in the country are in possession of it.'”
“Hm. So, why’s she flaunting herself over it?” I asked, still staring at Blair.
“Well, she feels she’s lucky enough to have a father who owns a Bugatti” Nicole replied with a shrug.
Suddenly, her eyes ran into mine.
“Bethel!” She called in a blaring voice from where she stood by the car.
“Oh, dear; come and have a selfie with I and my baby” she said with a haughty laugh.
Geez!
Then, she turned and faced the window of the car
“Bye bye, dad” she waved at the person in the car and almost immediately, the driver took off.
Hold on! Was her father in that car?
And he actually sat and waited for her to displ@yall that madness?
“Come on, Bethel; let’s go” Nicole said and tapped me out we started walking together.
But the bit-chy Blair c@m£ running towards us.
“Hey sweetheart” she called as she finally caught up with her.
“I’m not in the mood to exchange words with kids, Blair” I said and she laughed.
“Come on, bae. Don’t tell me you’re mad at me because of my new car” she blurted.
“Point of correction, it isn’t your car. Its your dad’s car. And there are latest models ap@rt from it” I replied.
“Yeah – my dad’s car” she rolled her eyes.
“But he’s planning on buying the most expensive model which is Bugatti Divo”. She added.
“Oh! So, you’re aware there’s a better model? Yet, you were br@gging all along? To me, its old fashioned” I said.
“Oh! plea-se, Bethel. Even Ryan doesn’t have a Bugatti” she rolled her eyes and walked away.
I scoffed and glared at her.
“Geez! That lady’s something else. It seems she doesn’t realize Ryan is capable of buying her with just the shoes he wears” Nicole said as soon as she left.
I shook my head and we continued walking to clas-s.
Still walking, I saw someone – Jackson – approaching where Nicole and I were.
Hold on; Jackson????
“Is that?…” Nicole flin-ched but didn’t complete her statement.
What is he doing here?
We st©pped walking and just watched him.
“Come on, Bethel; let’s go” Nicole whispered to me as he got close.
I dallied a little.
“Don’t worry, Nic; I’ll handle this. You can go ahead” I told her and at that point, Jackson got to where we were and stood in front of us.
Nicole hesitated a little before walking away.
“Bethel…”
“What’re you doing here?” I cut him off, not rudely tho.
He sighed and placed his both hands into his trou-ser pockets.
“I…c@m£ over to fix something here and coincidentally, I bu-mped into you”. He replied and I scoffed at it.
“Coincidentally?” I asked.
“Well, I really wanted to see you. I mean, what happened? You st©pped taking my calls”
“Well, I’m sorry Jackson; but you can’t blame me for that. You caused it”
“Come on, Bethel; I’m sorry”.
“And I think your apology is coming a bit late. plea-se, Jackson; I respect what we shared in the past. But now, I’m married and have an obligation. What you did almost created a rift between Ryan and I, but luckily, he’s been able to get over it.
“He wants me to stay away from you, Jackson, and I have to obey him. That’s why I’m telling you, from now on, I don’t wanna see you anymore, don’t try calling me anymore. Just stay away from me – far away – and find yourself another hook”
“Bethel…”
“You told me you wanted us to be just friends, yet you almost created a problem between me and my husband. You jeopardised that.
“So, from now on, you’re no longer a friend to me; you’re just someone from my past” I chided and walked away, leaving him in shock.

Bethel’s Pov:
School was kinda of boring that morning until lunch time when me and Nicole and the newbie – Shirley – decided to go to the cafe together.
We ordered for some foods and sat on a table to eat.
“So Bethel, what’s the valentine gonna look like?” Shirley asked, ma-king me surprised.
Huh?
“I…don’t know. why asking?” I replied and asked and she chuckled.
“Nothing really; just thinking. It must be really fun with Mr Popular around, right?” She asked and I scoffed.
“Are you also a crusher?” Nicole asked, ni-bbling on a plantain.
Shirley laughed.
“Well, of course. No offense – tho – but every lady is crushing on Ryan right? And I happen to be a lady as well.
“You just have to be careful, Bethel. There are lots of girls out there who wanna be with him and who will st©p at nothing till they get him” she enthused.
“And are you one of them?” Nicole asked and she laughed again.
“plea-se, darling; don’t quote me wrong. I’m just a fan” .
Not long after, Kyle showed up, holding a drink and pack of cookies.
“Hey, can I join you?” He asked and Nicole and I exchanged quic-k glances at each other.
“This guy.- he looks like he snobs; but in reality, He’s very free and friendly.
“Yeah – sure, cutie” Nicole replied excitedly and he took the vacant seat next to her.
“Hi. I’m Shirley and you?” The Shirley girl asked as she brou-ght out her hand for a handshake.
“Kyle” he replied casually and took in a piece of cookie – ignoring the handshake.
Ouch.
“Okay…kyle” she said and slowly brou-ght down her hand.
Nicole sniggered.
“So, you’re the br@niac, huh? I’ve heard alot about you” she further said, trying to strike a conversation.
“Oh! Well, sorry but I haven’t heard anything about you” he replied and I almost laughed.
Okay; now I get.
The rumours are true. He is snobbish – and arrogant too. But, how come he’s being friendly with me?
“But, how do you manage to do it, Kyle? I mean, you’re so good at practically all the subjects” Nicole said and he faked a smile.
“Well, let’s just call it luck” he shrugged.
“I wish I was perfect in Maths like you are” I said wistfully and his eyes beamed.
“Well, I can teach you if you’re interested” he replied.
“You…you will? plea-se, I’m willing to learn. And considering the fact that our test is around the corner, I feel stuck” I said.
“That won’t be a problem anymore. We can study after school hours”.
“Oh, my God! Thank you so much. We can start tomorrow, then”.
“And what about me? I also want to learn” the Shirley girl ch!pped in.
“Sorry, but I can only entertain one student at a time” he replied brusquely and we continued eating, bringing up little chats along the way.

After a few more hours and lectures, the school finally c@m£ to a close and that was a hvge relief to me cause I couldn’t wait to get home and rest.
And ouch! We were having marriage clas-ses today.
Nicole accompanied me as usual to where my ride was while Shirley also c@m£ along with us.
“Oh,my Goddddd” Nicole suddenly skrie-ked, looking into her phone.
What the heck?
“What’s wrong, Nicole?” I asked, alarmed and she showed her phone to me.
“Isn’t this just adorable?” She squeaked and I looked into the phone.
Oh!
They were pictures of me coming out of Ryan’s car this morning when he had come to drop me off at school.
Oh, my God! It was all over the net. And it was tagged:
Cute Ph0tos Of Ryan Winthrop Dropping His Wife Off At School.
Geez!
I couldn’t help but smile.
“You’re so lucky, girlfriend!” She beamed and hvgged me.
“Let me have a look” Shirley said and collected the phone from me.
“Oh! I wish I were in your shoes, Bethel” Nicole said wistfully and I glared at her and she laughed.
“Chill, Bethel. I don’t plan on being a second wife, okay? Its just a wish. I’m happy for you” she said and hvgged me again and I smiled.
Then Shirley returned the phone to her without saying a word.
“Um…I nee-d to go now. So, bye” she said and left immediately, even before we waved Back at her.
“Huh? What’s wrong with her?” Nicole asked as she walked away.
I just shrugged and Nicole and continued walking.
“Oh, My God!” She g@sped this time around, looking into the phone and I rolled my eyes.
“Yeah, what is it again?” I asked and she showed the phone to me.
“There’s a valentine concert holding at City’s fame tomorrow. And Ryan’s one of the invited guests” she said as I looked into the phone with surprise, going throu-gh the news.
Whaaat?
“Oh! Bethel, what will you do? If Ryan goes to the concert, then he won’t have time to take you out for Val tomorrow” she said pitifully and I feebly returned the phone to her, not able.to say a word.
Oh, God! But that’s correct. If he goes to the concert, he wouldn’t be able to treat me for val.
“And the concert seems important” Nicole further said, still going throu-gh the news.
“Its being hosted by DH Entertainment. I’m not sure it’s something he can miss”.
“Whatever” I muttered, trying to hide my mood from her.
I didn’t want her to know I was hurting.
“Anyway, things might change” she shrugged and we finally got to where my car was.
“Alright,Nicole. See you tomorrow” I said.
“Bye girlfriend” she replied and walked away while I entered into my car.
Shirley’s Pov:
I felt so bittered and pained.
Seeing Ryan and Bethel together was tearing me ap@rt and I don’t think I can take it anymore.
Ryan’s meant to be mine. I was so close to getting him, but she showed up and ruined everything!
No; I’m not gonna let her waste all my plans and efforts. I’m not gonna let her get in the way of me being with Ryan. He’s mine and mine alone!
I got to the road and waited for a cab. So many angry thoughts kept hitting at me.
While waiting, I sp©tted someone familiar, coming out of a car.
I g@sped immediately and opened my eyes wi-de in shock as I quic-kly recognized him
Of course!
Oh my God!
I ran and hid behind a corner immediately.
Fear gr!pp£dme.
What the heck???
What’s he doing here?? I…I thought he was in Korea???
When did he return to the states?
Oh, my God! No!
He can’t be here!!!
