Cassie looked into Ken's eyes and quickly turned away. He was mad at her. She knows him and could detect when he was really mad at her.She sighed and rubbed her palms against each other tenderly. "Do you have a lecture to attend right now?"Ken shook his head and broke into a dry laugh. It was the first day of the new academic session and just like Cassie, he needed to be in class now."No!" He replied and turned away.Cassie heaved another sigh. She knew he gave the reply because she had asked an insensitive question. Meanwhile, she needed to tell him something but didn't know how to go about it and that was how the silly question popped out."I'm sorry!" She mumbled and cast her gaze to the floor. There were a lot of unsaid things between them and she could only come up with an apology."I'm sorry Ken.""Sorry?" Ken almost yelled.She lifted her head and caught him staring at her with a quirked brow. "Will your apology make up for the calls you refused to pick up and the messages y

"Son of a bitch!" Charlie roared like a wounded lion and charged toward Ken with bloodshot eyes.Ken, who didn't see the movement coming remain rooted to his spot. He watched Charlie with astonishing eyes.Charlie grabbed both his hands and began to shake him vigorously. Ken noticed how shrunken Charlie had become. His eyes had lumps underneath and when he opened his mouth to speak, Ken was forced to look away because of the bad smell emanating from Charlie's mouth.The students rushed behind Charlie as a new commotion was about to take place.Charlie was holding onto Ken's hands. His lips were dried up and had cracks in them."I will get my hands on you and I promise you, Ken Trent, you'll pay for making my life miserable," Charlie swore.Ken arched a brow. Did Charlie just say he made his life miserable? Was he the one who asked him to abuse drugs?Charlie's attack on Ken attracted the attention of the security officers. One of them ran toward Charlie and grabbed him from behind."L

The last time Ken and Cassie's dad crossed paths was about four years ago when Ken was still in Boston. He had always known that the man never liked him. It's been four years now so maybe some things must have changed or maybe not wondered Ken.Cassie and her dad walked up to him. She let go of her dad and immersed Ken in a hug.She whispered into his left ear. "Congratulations bro. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait for you to complete your internship program and be decorated as a medical doctor."Ken pulled away from the hug with a bright smile. "Thank you so much, Cassie." He handed the hat to her and turned to her father.The man flashed a quick smile at Ken and instantly put on a serious face. Ken swallowed. He could tell that the man's dislike for him was still a fact.Ken extended a hand to the man. "Welcome to Cambridge sir."The man gave Ken's hand a cold stare and smiled.Ken slowly withdrew his hand while Cassie watched with hopelessness in her eyes. She turned to Ken with a

Cassie walked into the after-party hand in hand with her father. A graduation after-party was organized by the faculty to celebrate the graduating students. The event was slated for a few days after the graduation ceremony.Cassie was dressed in a beautiful red floral gown. The school's conference hall was filled with the graduating students and their dates. They were all looking glamorous.Immediately after the graduation ceremony ended, Cassie's dad insisted that they fly back to Boston and return a few days later for the after-party. Cassie had argued. She wanted to stay back in Boston till the days roll out but her father wouldn't let her out of his sight especially since he was bent on keeping her from reaching out to Ken.Cassie and her dad walked into the hall. The colorful disco lights fell on them and everyone else in the room. There were waitresses and bartenders smartly dressed and they were up and doing.Bar stands stood at every corner of the conference room while a few st

Cassie didn't get up from the floor. She continued crying and then it dawned on her that her father was going to get suspicious if she spends a longer time than expected in the restroom.She wiped her eyes with the edge of her left palm and got off the white tiled floor. She decided to call Ken one more time.She dialed his number but Ken wasn't responding. She began to ponder. Should she send him a text message? If he didn't pick up her calls, was there a guarantee that the mere buzzing of a text message making its way into his phone would get his attention?Cassie was out of both time and options so she decided to send him a text message.With trembling hands, she punched in the keys.'Meet me in the lady's room right now. It's urgent._ Cassie."She knew it would be difficult for Ken to get through to her especially since her father had attached a bodyguard to her and she was sure that the man was still standing outside the door.She had no choice but try. She knew that Ken was a se
