BAD GIRL LOVE - CHAPTER 71&72
What’s meant to be is meant to be, and what’s not meant to be can never be meant to be.
Lovelyn gently pushed Bernie’s chest, and he broke it, looking into her eyes deeply.
“Lyn…
“It did nothing” she replied, and he swallowed.
“It was unneeded” she muttered and started walking away in the rain.
Bernie rushed after her and took her hand, making her stop.
“For once, can you forget about Richie?” He asked desperately, and she immediately shook her head.
“I can’t. Nothing is taking him away from my heart, Bernie. He has always been the owner. All of my happy memories have him. It’s like letting go of my happiness if I let go of him” she said, and Bernie pulled her into a tight hug immediately.
The rain was still pouring.
“Just for a minute, that’s all I ask. Can’t you let go of him even for a minute? Please” he begged, and she broke the hug to shake her head again.
“Not even for a second, Bernie” she said and resumed her walk away.
Bernie remained standing this time, watching her drift farther and farther.
It took a while before he was able to move his legs, following her behind with a lot of sadness in his heart.
*
JEGUK HOTEL*
Richie lodged in one of the cheapest rooms in the hotel since it’s the only option for now, thanks to Mira’s card.
He entered the room walking like he’s tired of his own existence.
He’s still so wet from the rain, and many things are dealing with him right now.
Headache, flu, heartache, chills and all of it.
His face and lips were looking so pale as he entered the bathroom and stripped.
He entered the cold shower, and his flu went up, but he doesn’t even care.
He got his phone, and his hand was shaking as he went to his contacts.
He blocked Ruby, Jillian, and Won. Every member of the evil family who used him.
He clicked on Celine’s WhatsApp line and pressed the voice message recorder.
“If you’re conscious already and listening to this, come to Seoul as soon as possible and say the truth about the accident, else I don’t mind going to jail for real. I’ll ki|| you” he said.
Immediately he sent the voice note, he blocked her too, then he went to Lovie’s DM.
The last message she sent to him was a video of her dressing up for school.
Right from when she was naked till she wore her P@?tî?? and undies before putting on the uniform and shoes plus makeup.
She turned her @zz to the camera and shook it funnily.
“I know I don’t have enough but don’t worry. The @zz will grow for you in the future” she said and blew him kisses.
Richie chuckled at this point, even with the tears in his eyes..
“And the B-__-bs” she said, raising them up teasingly.
“They’re medium sized but still cute, but they’d grow larger in the future too if you suck more frequently” she said and laughed afterwards.
Richie laughed out too, wiping his tears.
“Gawd, is it really over?” He whispered.
“I love you so much Richie, bye baby! I’ll see you when I’m back from school!” She kissed the screen.
The video ended there, and Richie dropped the phone, sniffing as he took his bath as slowly as possible.
For over an hour, he was in the tub, and when he came out, he got a call from Jacob.
He hesitated before picking.
“RK, tell me…
“Don’t call me that” Richie interrupted.
“Ok, Rich boy tell me…
“Don’t call me that too” Richie interrupted dryly again.
“Where are you Richie?” Jacob asked calmly, and he told him his location.
He dropped the phone and dressed up in comfy hood and black pants provided by the hotel.
Immediately he sat on the bed, the telephone on the bedstand rang.
He picked without waiting. “Let him in” he said and dropped it.
Two minutes later, Jacob opened the door and came in.
“Dude” he walked to the bed and hugged him.
Richie quickly broke the hug.
“How did you manage? Mrs. Jillian held a press conference some minutes ago. She told the whole Seoul that you were adopted when your family abandoned you, and that you left the family after stealing a huge sum of money” he said, and Richie nodded.
“I was expecting that much, she’s not a human anyways”
“You never told me you were adopted” Jacob said, looking at him pitifully.
“I didn’t tell anyone except Lovie” he replied.
“I’m so sorry you had to go through all these” Jacob said.
“I’ll be fine” Richie said.
“Don’t hesitate to ask me if you need anything. You once payed my school fees for two semesters back then in Harvard remember? I’ll gladly give you anything” Jacob said, and Richie nodded.
Jacob hugged him afterwards.
“Can you sleep here tonight?” He asked.
“With pleasure” Jacob replied.
*
SAFEHOUSE*
Bernie and Lovelyn didn’t talk to each other since they arrived. They only changed into dry clothes and entered their respective rooms.
They were still in when Mira came in.
She hasn’t settled down when Everest came in too.
“Good thing you came. Why did you instruct us not to tell Richie about Lovelyn’s whereabouts?” She faced him.
“Cos Mrs. Jillian Kim is one of my suspects, and if you told him about it, who knows if she has a tracker on him and the moment she traces him here, it’d be over” he replied.
“Wait… you’re saying she’s part of the cult?” Bernie asked, coming out of the room.
“They’re all powerful women, and all the wives of rich men in this country are my suspects” Everest replied, and Lovelyn came out too.
“Baby Love, I think you need to see this” Mira said, giving her her phone.
Lovelyn took it, and the first thing she saw was Jillian’s press conference.
“What!” Her eyes widened.
“Richie didn’t look like someone who stole the family money like she said. He asked me for money when he came to my house and he even came in a taxi. Jillian is lying” Mira said.
“He came to you?” Lovelyn walked fast to her.
“Me too, I met him” Everest replied.
“Why did you guys not reveal my location then? He can’t be alone at a time like this I badly wanna see him and stay with him” Lovelyn started crying.
“Calm down Lyn” Bernie tried to make her sit, but she broke free and started walking out of the house.
“Lovelyn stop this ok? It’s dangerous for you out there. What if the cops get you again?” Everest held her back.
“I don’t care, I just want to see Richie. He can’t be alone right now…he can’t…
“Then all of our efforts will be in vain? Bernie getting shot and disowned, being wanted. It’d go to waste?” Mira said, and Lovelyn sat weakly on the ground, crying gently.
Mira squatted beside her and started patting her back.
“You have a new life now. Try to explore it. Kim Won is your father and you should use that to your advantage” she said.
*
SAME NIGHT, KINGS HOTEL*
“So….what’s the next step now? Are you really letting him go after telling lies on him? Are you letting Lovelyn live despite being exposed as your husband’s daughter?” Mrs. Han asked from the middle of the cult women.
“All what I had planned got ruined, and now I have to draw another plan. Telling the lie was to make companies avoid hiring him. Who’d hire a thief?” Jillian replied.
“So… you’re saying he’d come back to the family if he suffers out there?” Tsunami said.
“What if he doesn’t come back? Then your plan to build a money printing machine is gone” Mrs. Han said.
“If he doesn’t come back, I’m only gonna draw another plan. For now, all we need to do is lay low about both Lovelyn and Richie. I’m seizing fire till my plan will come through” Jillian replied.
*
HAN MANSION*
Mrs. Han got back home from the cult meeting just now, and she was changing into her pyjamas when she sighed, remembering Bernie and her husband’s case.
“Should I just ki|| that annoying husband of mine? At least, all his cash will be mine and my children’s. Should I poison his drink like I do to my concubines?” She smirked.
“No. Maybe he should die by bullet” she said and walked to the drawer.
She opened it, but her eyes widened when she couldn’t find her gun.
“Looking for this?” Everest said by the door, and she turned to see him waiting there, aiming for her with the gun.
“Everest!” She gasped.
“You don’t even care if Bernie is dead or not. He’s wanted all-over Seoul but all you care about is the darn cult? Don’t be surprised, I found out since three years ago that you’re a member of Agora, and Bernie knows about it too” he said, and she swallowed.
“Initially, I thought staying out of it was the best, but right now I don’t give a d@mn anymore. Curiousity is our family motto remember? I’ll dig this so deep till I find out the whole truth, and if anything happens to I and my brother, I’ll be the one to ki|| you myself…?îtçh” he said and left the room with the gun.
Mrs. Han fell on the bed, snapping her fingers.
“I’m screwed, boss mustn’t hear about this, I’m doomed!”
*
NEXT DAY, CITY HOSPITAL*
Mabel felt immense pains in her eyes when she opened them, but immediately she saw Janet beside herself, she opened up widely and sat up.
“What are you doing here!” She shouted.
“She’s your mum” Yuri replied from the other side, and she turned to see her.
“No. It’s not happening” she muttered.
“Now I know why you h@??d Lovelyn so much” Yuri replied.
“No it can’t be!” Mabel jumped out of the bed, holding her head.
“It can’t be!!!!” She screamed.
“Daughter” Janet said, and she faced her.
“Don’t touch me! Don’t come close! Don’t touch me!!!” She shifted back.
“Lady Genevieve went missing since two nights ago, so just calm down. No hope for you Mabel” Yuri said.
“No!!” Mabel shouted, rushing out of the ward.
“Mabel!” Janet went after her, and Yuri shook her head.
“I’m better than her after all”
*
EVENING, AREA STATION*
Out of a car, came Celine.
She arrived in Seoul some minutes ago with Ruby, and this is the first place she came to.
She actually got Richie’s voice note immediately she woke up this morning, and that’s why she insisted to be brought back even when her tummy still hurts as hell.
She was holding the tummy with her two hands as she walked into the station.
“Miss Celine” most of them stood when they saw her, and a female cop walked to her.
“Are you ok?”
“I’m here to report the truth about my accident” Celine replied, and the cop raise her brows.
“Lovelyn didn’t do anything. I remember the face of the driver clearly now, and he’s not the one who came to testify. Please…acquit Lovelyn. She’s innocent”
*
NEXT DAY, SAFEHOUSE*
Everest came out of his car inside the compound, and instead of going in, he continued standing beside the car.
Lovelyn came out to him.
“Why aren’t you coming in?” She asked, and he opened the second door.
Kim Won came out, and Lovelyn took a step back immediately.
“I called him here” Everest said, and Kim Won started coming close, but Lovelyn shook her head.
“I don’t want to talk to him yet, I really don’t want to” she said.
“I wasn’t expecting you to do that, I don’t deserve it this early” Kim Won replied guiltily, stopping on his tracks.
“Then what are you doing here?” Lovelyn asked.
“You should resume school. I payed the penalty payment to the school management already, and you’re still a student of the school, a VVIP this time. And your innocence got proved by Celine, you should hold your head up” he replied, and Lovelyn blinked back her tears.
Everest brought out a box containing her new school things, and she sniffed gently.
Everything is changing so fast, and now nothing is holding her back anymore.
She has the weapon to fight now, and she’s ready to go for the battle… She wants Richie back in her life.
Now it’s her turn to chase after him, now it’s her turn to beg and make amends, now it’s her turn to make things right.
*
8AM*
Despite the fact that it’s still so early, Richie got rejected by three companies already, all because of Jillian’s lies
Everyone in Seoul recognizes him as the ungrateful adopted son, and they make jest of him everywhere he enters.
He entered the fourth company, and as usual, the taunting started.
👥 He doesn’t deserve to be a genius
👥 Such good brain and the only thing he could think of is stealing from the family who nurtured him?
👥 He doesn’t deserve that handsome face either.
👥 How dare he mess with the Kim family
👥 Well… It’s a blessing in disguise. He left, and the real daughter surfaced.
He pretended like he didn’t hear anything till he entered the elevator, riding to the right floor according to what he saw online.
“Mr. Richie?” A man in suit crossed him.
“Yes” he replied, and he was led into a big office where she met a woman sitting calmly.
CEO Kelsey Ronald was written on her name slate, and he quickly greeted respectfully.
“I came for the inter…
“I need no interview with you. You can start today. Welcome to Kel Cosmetics” the woman smiled.
“Huh?” Richie blinked.
“You can go rest for an hour and you’d be shown to your office afterwards. Feel comfortable” she smiled again, and he bowed in confusion before walking out of the office.
Kelsey rested back on her chair, smiling wider.
“Jillian, it’s hightime you pay for everything. I don’t mind getting hurt” .
*
Richie’s eyes widened when he came out to see one of the cleaning women slipping.
She actually stepped on water, and she’d have fallen, but he quickly rushed to her and caught her, bringing her back to her feet.
“Ahjuma, gwaenchana?” He asked, and the woman smiled before using sign language to say she’s ok.
Richie got it immediately that she’s dumb, and luckily, he understands sign language too.
*Be careful* he expressed.
*Thank you, and welcome to Kel Cosmetics. I promise you a good experience here. Mrs. Kelsey Ronald is a good person* she replied.
*I look forward to it. Can I help you with the cleaning? I have one hour to rest* he said, and she shook her head.
*Just rest. There’s a pantry down the hall, coffee is free* she replied.
He smiled before walking away.
*
HORIZON HIGHSCHOOL*
A purple limo drove into the park, and Lovelyn sighed at the backseat.
She’s the only one in the car except the driver in the front, and everything about her definitely changed.
Her hair, face, new chic uniform and shoes, then her accessories. They’re all expensive, and there’s a new iPhone with her.
She has a tag on her chest, different from others cos hers has an extra V.
VVIP
“Miss, we’re here” the driver said, waking her up from her thoughts.
The door was opened for her, and she made to come out but she suddenly felt dizzy, so she fell back on her seat.
“Miss, are you ok?” The driver asked, still holding the door for her.
She felt like throwing up too, but it ended after a few hiccups, and she took a deep breath before coming down from the car.
“I’m fine, Reno” she told the driver, and immediately the students beheld her as the one who came out of the car, a lot fainted.
👥 What the hell!
👥 Wait! VVIP!
👥 Meaning she’s higher than the VIPs?
👥 Purple limo?
👥 Her shoes! They said the only pair available is 30 million dollars! She’s wearing 30 million dollars?
👥 Her hairpin is f-__-king expensive too!
👥 Those earrings!
“You!!!!!!!” Ruby came barking like a dog with Yuri behind her.
“How dare you flaunt with my father’s money! How dare you!!!!!” She shouted, but before she could get to her, Lovelyn’s guards appeared and grabbed her.
👥 MG! Guards too?
“Let go of me! Let me go!!!!” Ruby shouted at the top of her voice, struggling to break from the guards.
Lovelyn went closer and removed the VIP tag on her chest. She broke it into two, and Ruby gasped.
“What do you think you’re doing!!!”
Lovelyn slapped her, and again, and again.
👥 What the f-__-k!
👥 d@mn!
The blinding slaps kept coming till the sixth one, and Ruby’s eyes were beggining to turn.
The guards were still holding her .
She was already bleeding from the nose and lip when Lovelyn leaned into her ear and whispered…
“Both Richie, and your father, I’m claiming both of them, and there’s nothing your forefathers can do about it. Stop me if you can, unfortunate ?îtçh”
