Chapter 1 Senior year

Damn it !!!!

I looked at the clock,it was 7:10 AM,I quickly rushed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a bath,after a quick bath I hurried to wear my school uniform and go for a quick breakfast .

This wasn't how I planned my first day of the new session as an SS3 student,my siblings were already downstairs with my mum probably waiting for me,I went downstairs to greet my mum and have breakfast.

"Goodmorning mummy "I greeted my mum.

"Goodmorning sweetheart,how are you"She asked with a smile on her face.

"I'm fine,I am sorry I woke up late"I apologized.

"It is okay,try waking up early tomorrow,now eat your breakfast let's go"She replied.

So....my parents got divorced two years ago due to Domestic violence so now my family consists of four,my mum, Mason-My twin brother,Maya my younger sis and Michelle.....that's me. My mum is a nurse and ever since she divorced my dad,she took upon herself to take care of her kids,she is doing a good job although she is strict but I love her.

My mum quickly dropped us at school and yes !!We were damn late but since it was the first day of the term at school we were pardoned,I thanked God because the teachers of Dayspring International School on a normal day dealth with Seniors for coming late, after assembly we went to our various classes,I'm in art class while my brother is in science so the classes were separated.

On getting to my seat,I noticed Olivia my seatmate and bestfriend isn't in class although she doesn't resume first day of the term but she promised to come,I was kind of disappointed and not in the mood to talk to any of my noisy classmates (I'm not a quiet person, I'm a talkative but I know my limits),I rested my head on the desk since our CRS teacher didn't resume on the first day so it was free period.

"Madam Michy wake up"Olivia called my name while smiling.

Olivia has a caramel skin colour just like me,she isn't fat or skinny,she is in between,she is tall in height,she has long relaxed hair which I love alot,well my hair is natural and do not plan on leaving the naturalist geng and Oh she is a whole vibe!!

"Am not sleeping,Is now your mates are coming to school abi"I giggled.

"Don't mind me joore,you know first day of every term is not my thing"Olivia said.

"I know latecomer"I replied.

"You will cry o!,where is Mr Jacob?"She asked.

"I guess he is not in school"I replied.

"So that's why the class is noisy,so time for gist"She said.

"Which gist?"I asked.

"Tobi's gist na "She replied.

I was about to reply her when Mr Daniel walked into the class and we greeted him.

"Goodmorning students,this is a new term and session,I won't tolerate any non-chalant attitude"He ordered.

"Yes Sir"We replied while comporting ourselves.

Soon it was break time,I was damn hungry,I dragged Olivia to the cafeteria because I wasn't in for slow movement,we got there and the queue was already long,I was frustrated.

"All these D.I.S students doesn't even waste time before they get here"Olivia said feeling frustrated.

"Am so tired"I complained.

"Of what?"She asked.

"I don't have strength to talk,I waaaaaant fooood"I said putting on a long face.

"Foodie"she said jokingly

We were discussing different stuffs when it was cut short by

"Hey Princess"Tobi exclaimed.

Not again!!

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

Qing Shui

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I Slapped My FiancƩ-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My FiancƩ-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancƩ. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancƩ now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
