FOREVER MINE

HOW PATHETIC

At school, she had missed a lot as she was absent for two weeks. She has a lot to catch up with. Alex, on the other hand, had also been chatting with her. Their relationship had grown over the space of two weeks. Even though they were distant from each other, he would always call to check up on her and ask about her mothers health.

When she came back she decided to surprise Alex at his house. She didn’t tell him when she was coming back, but first thing first she needed to get back to school.

After the day's class she went to the cafeteria with her friends to get something to eat. She had collected study slides from Jasmine. She would study it and catch up.

Just some seats before them, she saw Victoria and Ben eating together at the same table. Jasmine followed Linda's gaze and there, just a few seats away, sat Ben with Victoria, his arm casually draped around her shoulder. Victoria, elegant and poised as always, seemed engrossed in conversation with Ben, who appeared equally captivated by her.

Just few weeks back, Linda had been surprised when Ben, from a wealthy family, had showed up at her modest doorstep with a bouquet of roses, declaring his affection for her and boasting that he could have anything he desired. Linda had been furious at the sight of him.

This guy is a freaking player, he can’t be serious at all. Just few weeks back, he was at my doorstep with the nonsense bouquet threatening me. Just because I allowed him to kiss me at the club doesn’t mean I would give him a chance to toy with me.

As if sensing her discomfort, Jasmine nudged Linda gently. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Linda replied with a forced smile, trying to shake off her thoughts. "Just hungry, I guess."

But as she glanced back at Ben and Victoria, she couldn't shake the memory of his confident words at her doorstep, wondering what Victoria would think if she had heard of his grand declarations to her, and what their relationship truly meant behind closed doors.

On second thought, she decided to tell her jasmine, and besides, she would know eventually, since Ben is not the type that backs down easily.

“When Alex dropped me the other day, I went inside my apartment, and you won’t believe who I saw at my doorstep”

Jasmine’s brow furrowed in curiosity. "Who was it?"

“Ben”

“Ben? How come? Does he know your house?

“I don’t know how he got my address. I was so mad when I saw him with the bouquet of roses at my doorstep”.

Linda slowly looked at her food, picking at her salad as she recounted the unexpected visit. "He said he wanted me to be his, and that he could get whatever he wanted. It was... weird

Jasmine's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? That's so bold."

"Yeah," Linda sighed, feeling a mix of confusion and anger. "I mean, I didn't really know what to do when I saw him at my place. I almost created a scene."

Jasmine frowned sympathetically, understanding the discomfort in Linda's voice. "I get why you're uneasy. I thought his intentions were genuine. Seeing the way he chased you, it’s like he's playing some games."

"Yeah," Linda agreed quietly. "I just hope Victoria knows what she's getting into."

They both glanced over at Ben and Victoria again, deep in conversation, and Linda couldn't shake the anger she was feeling.

Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. When she turned to see who it was, she was surprised to see Victoria smiling wryly.

She was shocked to see her standing behind her, she was just over there with Ben just now. She quickly turned her face to where they sat, She noticed Ben had stood up. They must have stood up when she faced her food or something she thought.

“How can I help you, Victoria?”

“I just want you to stay away from Ben, I have been watching you, and I’ve caught you stealing glances at my man, just so you know, he’s out of your reach.”

Linda couldn’t believe her ears, she was beyond stunned that she couldn’t utter any word, she just stared at Victoria’s ignorance.

Linda rolled her eyes while asking nonchalantly, “I would like to ask you, Victoria, who is Ben? Who is he again?”

“Victoria’s expression changed at that. What did you just say? Now you want to pretend you don’t know who Ben is, or you don’t know what I’m talking about?”

“Excuse me.” Linda raised her brows. “I don’t know him and he doesn’t exist in my world. And if you are that bothered, why don’t you speak with him to stop disturbing me?”

“huh”

Victoria’s expression became an angry one. She knew Ben Watson is a son of a billionaire, an arrogant one at that who can’t keep it in his pants. He can buy any woman with just the right amount and treat them like trash. But she has falling head over heels in love with him…….

He is every lady’s spec except for Linda. Everyone wants to be associated with him.

Victoria is a sexy and tall lady with beautiful body features. As a high-class lady that she is, it’s just reasonable for her to date a handsome and rich guy.

And goes after anyone that puts a treat to her relationship with Ben.

When you are done making a fool of yourself, take your slaves and get the hell out of my sight. I have something important to do.

One of Victoria’s friends responded, Let's go Vicky, she is not worth our time. They turned and left with a loud hiss.

Linda could not help but to snort. “How pathetic,” she said under close breath.

Again she remembered her sick mother and gave her a call. After the phone rang several times and she didn’t pick she decided to call her brother. He didn’t pick either. She thought to call them later, maybe they were busy.
