Theo has a crush on a girl but cannot tell it to her. His friend Adam tries to encourage him to speak up but he refuses. Will he ever let her know how he feels towards her?

Chapter 1 01

It was a beautiful morning, the birds were chirping outside and the sun was about to come out of its hiding place. This was another school day and Adam was not ready for school.

He knew why as it was his regular problem in school. Adam happens to be one of the smallest boys in his class.

He was also constantly bullied by the bigger boys. This is the reason why he was not even ready to move an inch from his bed. m

"Adam" his mother called as she expected him to be getting ready. Adam did not reply to this call as he did not want to go to school.

"Adam" his mother called again as she opened the door of his room. "Don't you want to go to school today?"

"Not today mum" came his reply. His mother understood the reason why he did not want to go to school but he had to.

" I know that you are being constantly bullied at school". His mother paused taking a look at the frown on his face.

"Nevertheless, one day you will grow above this stage of being bullied by the older boys in your class". Adam knew that he could not resist his mother as this was what trespassed between them almost every day.

He stood up from his bed and went on to prepare for school. The school bus arrived shortly after he had finished his breakfast.

"Goodbye mum" Adam waved at his mum as the school bus drove away. Adam arrived at the school gate but did not want to enter it.

He saw the gate as some monster door waiting to lock him inside his hell once he entered into it. Trying to control himself, Adam moved slowly into the school compound.

He saw his best friend Theo also waiting at the school gate. "what are you doing here?" Adam asked Theo.

"Am doing the same thing that you are doing here" came Theo's reply. They were two of the smallest boys in the classroom.

Adam and Theo talked their way into the classroom. "Here comes the class nerds" came a voice as they entered the classroom.

They knew the owner of that voice as he was the leader of the bullies. "this will not be good for us" said Theo to Adam as they took their seats beside each other.

Adam and Theo prayed hard for the bell to ring. As soon as the bell rang, they ran out of the classroom.

Not long after they went out that Theo spotted Laura. This was the girl of his dreams.

Theo usually thought of spending quality time with Laura. "This is your chance" came a voice behind him.

"Am not sure am ready for this" Theo replied. "When will you ever be ready". The voice came again.

"Who are you talking to?". Adam asked Theo. "No one," he said.

"Do not lie to me" Adam said with a serious look on his face. Just then, Laura passed by them.

Theo could not hold himself anymore as he was imagining her body in his arms.

Laura was a dark-skinned girl. She was about 15 years old. Laura is also one of Adam and Theo's classmates.

"I could feel her body on mine as she passed". Theo said to Adam but Adam just walked away.

"What's wrong with you". Theo said running after Adam. "You are keeping secrets". Adam said.

"What secret?". Theo asked Adam. "Who were you talking to when you saw Laura?". Adam asked again.

"Since you really want to know I'll tell you". Theo said feeling reluctant. "Since I was five have always had this sort of guardian angel".

Adam sat with a look of anxiety on his face. Theo could tell how curious he was to hear the story.

As Theo was about to continue the story the bell rang. "Well continue the story later". Theo said not looking at Adam's face.

Adam moved with him back to the class feeling disappointed. He cursed the bell under his breath.

The first lesson after the break was the history lesson. Both Adam and Theo hated history.

This was because the teacher made them seat in front of the class while he was teaching.

Also, he usually used them as his tools for setting examples. This is another topic the big boys used to make a mockery of them. This time, Theo was sitting beside Laura.

His heart skipped as he took his seat. "Say something". The voice said again. "Today can be your lucky day".

At this point, Theo realized that the big boys did not bully him and Adam during the break period.

He made up his mind to at least say something. By the time he looked at Laura's face, he lost his confidence completely.

History class went on the normal way with them being the object for making practical explanations.

"When will this ever end?". Adam asked under his breath but did not have an answer to the question.

While the class was going on, Adam felt a piece of paper hitting the back of his head. At once, he knew that the big boys were at it again.

Adam was determined to put an end to this but did not know how he will do that. "I'll figure that out". He said.

"Figure what out?". Theo asked as he heard him make his last statement. "Never mind". He replied.

Theo had a feeling that all was not right. He decided to have a long talk with Adam on their way home.

Adam and Theo prayed for the bell to ring but it will not. After the History class came another and after another.

As the classes went by, Adam could see Theo looking distinctly at Laura but did not say anything.

"Will he ever talk to this girl?". Adam asked himself shaking his head feeling sorry for Theo.

Theo continued to stare at Laura and he did not even notice when she turned around.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

The Billionaire's Secret Twins: Her Revenge

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
