LIVING WITH MY TEACHER - CHAPTER 83&84
*
The ring glisten on her finger with a dazzling gleam, and she smiled prettily.
The hook on the wideness of everyone’s eyes kept locked, especially the chairman, his wife and Laurent including his parents.
Mindy was grinning from her spot, feeling hyper and proud for making that call just in time, and it was surprisingly to her how he got here like a flash, undoubtably, his love for her is deeper, so deeper and wide.
“What are you waiting for?” he asked as she was grinning.
Looking at the ring tray Josephine quickly took the ring.
Laurent stood up and started running to him, determined to stop it but Josephine inserted the ring into his finger before he could reach them.
His eyes widened and he stopped.
“What!!” he yelled, and Pascal turned to the chairman who was looking so pale as he stared at them with nothing but anger and shock.
“Father in-law” he said calmly, and Mindy started laughing at her spot.
“He’s so cool” she said.
“I got the coolest devil as a friend, didn’t know his simplicity can be turn if you forced him” Nathan said beside her, and she quickly faced him.
“You came?” she muttered, and he nodded with a smile.
“How dare you?” the chairman yelled, and smacked Pascal on the face.
“Guards” he shouted, but no response came from the guards.
“I’m sorry sir, they won’t hear you” someone said, coming in.
“What do you mean?”
“The guards are lying on the floor lifeless” he replied, and the chairman turned to pascal.
“What did you do to them?”
“Only sedate them” he replied, and Laurent finally came after him, he almost punched Pascal but Pascal held his hand and pushed him back.
Four cops entered the hotel immediately.
“Get him, this is the bastard” Mrs Kings said, pointing at Pascal.
She actually called the cops.
“You are under arrest” a cop said, and he tried handcuffing Pascal when Josephine took a knife and all eyes widened.
“I’m going to ki|| myself if you have him arrested” she shouted.
“What are you doing?” Mr Linus ( Laurent’s father) asked.
“I’m serious, I’m going to ki|| myself” she yelled, pointing the knife at her stomach, meaning her words.
“What nonsense are you trying to display, stop disgracing me” the chairman yelled.
“Josephine!!” Mrs Kings yelled.
“Arrest him” the chairman ordered and when the cops tried handcuffing him again, Josephine raised the knife with the aim of stabbing her stomach for real, but came the scream from the chairman.
“No!! Josephine stop!! Don’t arrest him” the chairman yelled horrifically.
No one left the hotel, they all wanted to watch the interesting drama till the end.
“If you get him arrested I’m ki||ing myself” she cried, and his arms dropped.
“I was accused of dealing in drugs right, here is the evidence that I’m innocent” Pascal said, and gave the cops the phone.
“Laurent, look for another plan, good luck” he snarled.
“Good night father in law” he said and started walking out of the hotel.
“If you come after him again then get ready to start afresh looking for a child cos I will ki|| myself, I’m ready to fight for the man I love, bring wh@??ver you want to bring against me, you won’t manipulate me again” she said in tears, and ran out of the hotel.
The chairman and his wife walked out angrily, followed by Laurent’s parents and Laurent himself.
People started dispersing as countless and unending murmurs kept coming.
The guards outside soon started waking up one by one with a confused look on their faces. “What happened?” one of them asked.
No one gave them an answer, and they rushed inside.
Josephine came out in tears and started looking for Pascal.
“Baby, Pascal” she screamed.
“Pascal!!” she shouted again.
“I don’t think he’s here anymore” Mindy came there.
“He left” Nathan said, joining them.
“He isn’t ready to face you yet” Nathan said, and Josephine nodded guiltily.
“I deserve it, I will beg for his forgiveness, I don’t mind waiting till he’s ready to face me”
“Were you really going to stab yourself?” Mindy asked, and she nodded.
“What!”
“I’m ready to fight for our love, I have been stupid enough, time to stop allowing them to control my life, I can’t survive staying away from him” she said seriously, and they smiled.
“You did the right thing there, I made the call” Mindy smiled.
“Thank you for saving the night, we are engaged now” she said and hugged Mindy.
PASCAL’S APARTMENT*
Pascal kept looking at the ring in his finger as his phone kept ringing beside him on the couch, without looking at the phone he knew who was calling, he wasn’t ready to talk to her yet.
The door opened and Nathan entered.
“You’re trending on the internet, lover boy” Nathan said.
Pascal stopped looking at the ring and faced him.
“None of them know my handle so I will be safe” he said.
“Who told you that, I dropped your handle” Nathan said, and Pascal’s eyes widened.
“You are joking right?”
“Check your IG, this will help you gain followers, you are planning to start modeling you need to have followers” Nathan said.
Pascal got his phone and his eyes widened when he saw 100k followers, the video was trending and everyone kept giving their view about it.
Some people were against him and many were supporting him.
“I didn’t know you were going to become popular tonight”
“They are following me because you posted my handle, wait you are releasing your song on Sunday” Pascal looked at him.
“Yes, my fans are going crazy already since I made the announcement” Nathan replied, sitting down with him.
“We got the evidence and you got engaged to Josephine instead of Laurent, bro, you are really crazy, I didn’t expect that from you, you were so cool back there, calling the chairman father in-law” Nathan said, laughing.
“I just got the idea to spite them” he smiled.
“You just smile, I’m so happy, let’s give accolades to Mindy”
“And you too for the sedative, I can’t believe she almost stab herself”
“She wanted her father to know how serious she was, that help you would have been in jail by now, I would have follow you this time, expect to answer a query from Landon, we kept this away from him”
“I will handle it, he will understand” he smiled.
“I’m going to accept Nova agency request” Pascal said, and Nathan smiled, looking at his phone.
“Many people are supporting you while others are bashing you”
“I don’t have time for internet critics”
“So about Josephine…”
“I don’t want to talk about her” he interrupted.
“I understand, she was stupid but just don’t punish her for long, I will be in the bedroom, the next celebrity” Nathan said, and went in.
Pascal sighed softly, wondering what would happen if he didn’t have someone like Nathan and Mindy in his life. It’s a good thing he didn’t involve Landon in this.
“That dude is crazy when it comes to me” he said and started staring at the ring.
He remembered the look on Laurent’s face and he started laughing.
His mind suddenly went back to how he got the evidence.
FLASHBACK*
He was in the living room with Nathan when a knock came on the door.
Nathan got to the door and saw a strange face at the door.
“Hi” the guy smiled.
“Hi” Nathan said, and the guy gasped.
“Nat X” he called happily.
“I watched your performance video, I’m a fan” he said, smiling.
“It’s good to meet you” Nathan smiled.
“You stay here?”
“I came to visit my friend” Nathan replied.
“I have something to show him” the guy said.
“Come inside” Nathan said, and he came in.
They walked to the living room together, and Pascal looked up.
“Hi” the guy said.
“Hi” Pascal said.
“You don’t know me but I’m two streets away, a tik toker, I recorded a video of someone sneaking into your house some days ago, he was holding a bag and he was looking so suspicious so I followed him, I have the video” the guy said, and Pascal stood up immediately.
FLASHBACK END*
That’s how he got the evidence to clear his name, now he’s free from the cops.
Josephine’s father can’t use that to manipulate Josephine.
His phone started beeping continuously from messages entering his phone from Josephine, apology messages.
He sighed and closed his eyes.
LAURENT’S MANSION*
He was boiling with insurmountable anger as he pushed things on his way away, venting his anger on them.
Donna was watching everything but she knew going closer to him right now would mean danger to her. She watched the video on her phone and started smiling again as she held the rails.
She was happy someone ruined the engagement party, her face was filled with smiles.
“I’m going to ki|| him, I’m going to do anything, anything possible to get rid of him, ahhh” he shouted, breaking a bottle on the floor.
His eyes were red and his veins on his forehead were showing.
“Pascal!!” he screamed, going berserk as he started destroying things in the living room.
Pouring all his anger and frustration on them, he was gritting his teeth as he replayed what happened in the hotel. He just pushed him to the limit and he’s going to get rid of him.
Donna wanted to go to him but she controlled herself and quickly went upstairs.
“I h@?? to see him angry” she muttered sadly, sitting on the bed.
THE KING’S FAMILY MANSION*
The chairman was pacing around the living room with so much anger and embarrassment filled in his heart.
“How could she?”
“She’s ready to hurt herself because of him?” he said, crossing his hands behind his back.
“What are we going to do?” Mrs Kings asked, coming downstairs.
“I will talk to Linus, I will have to stay off them now, he has evidence to prove his innocence, it’s risky trying to…”
“It’s risky, she almost stabs herself, I don’t want to lose my only child” she said.
“She disgraced me in front of everyone, that boy will regret this” he shouted and took the stairs.
Mrs Kings sighed heavily. “Why are you doing this to us, Josephine?”.
*
It’s another day, Manon was smiling in her room as she watched the trending video when Camila barged into her room.
“You saw the video?” she asked.
“Yes, Landon’s brother is crazy just like his brother, he engaged her, seriously? Their love is strong” Manon laughed.
“He was so cool, I know my boyfriend is the same type” Manon said.
“We both have crazy boyfriends” Camila said.
“I think that black dude is the craziest, I have heard a lot about Africans especially Nigerians, craziness runs in their blood” Manon laughed.
“Nathan is crazy but I love him that way”
“So have you two done it?” Manon asked, and Camila looked at her.
“What?”
“The bed thing”
“I don’t understand” Camila said, and Manon made a demonstration with her fingers.
“Sister!!” Camila pouted.
“Come on, tell me, I heard black guys are tigers in bed, so tell me, how’s he in bed?” Manon winked.
“You know what I h@?? you” Camila yelled and started walking out but she stopped at the door.
“We haven’t gone that deep, so you already f_cked Landon?” Camila said.
“?îtçh, I’m your elder sister” Manon said and started removing her slippers, Camila ran out immediately.
*
“Do you really take me as your brother?” Landon yelled angrily as Pascal told him everything.
“I’m sorry brother, I didn’t want to disturb you”
“You didn’t want to disturb me, who is going to carry your burden? I was having fun with my girlfriend without having any slight idea that my brother was going through heartbreak. What if Nathan wasn’t there for you, you expect me to be happy? I love you more than my life, I don’t spend much time with you because of my work but you know how much I love you Pascal, I have only you in this world, dad and mum left us all alone, who’s going to carry your pain?” Landon scolded.
“I’m sorry, I was.. I’m sorry brother” Pascal said guiltily.
“I’m not ready to forgive you now, bye” Landon said and walked out of the room angrily.
“He’s so hard when he’s angry” Pascal muttered, feeling so bad for hiding it away from him.
Landon was walking out when the door opened and Josephine came in. She stopped as she saw him, he looked at her shortly and started walking out but she quickly blocked him.
“Do you even love my brother like you claim? Do you think it was fun breaking his heart? Do you have any idea about what communication is in a relationship? You promised me that you won’t hurt him” he said coldly, and she looked down speechless, guilt invading her.
“You should fix it” he said and walked out.
Josephine sighed heavily and started walking to Pascal’s room with a fast beating heart.
She stopped at his door and she took a long breath before opening the door.
Pascal looked back immediately and their eyes met as she came inside.
An awkward silence took over the room as they stared at each other.
Looking at him, she felt like rushing into his arms and hugging him tightly, she was holding herself. She looked at his lips, and she swallowed hungrily.
“Pascal” she got called with a shaky voice.
No answer came from him, and without looking at her again, he started leaving but she ran after him and hugged him from behind, wrapping her hands tightly on his stomach.
Inhaling his scent brought back the life in her, and she closed her eyes.
“I missed you so much” she said.
“I know you do babe, I’m sorry, please forgive me” she said but no reaction came from him.
“Please tell me you miss me too” she said softly.
