Vera’s POV.
Jeez, walking into Dame High School feels different today. I look around and I see students especially
the graduating class hanging by the corners with their books.
Everyone has their focus pinned on books, reading for the exams which are about to start.
Yeah, it’s our exam week already, and…you know what? I can’t wait to finish it up and bound into what life has for me.
Looking back, I see Andrei gazing around the school perimeter as if looking for something.
Andrei has been my acting foster father since David traveled four days ago.
The man didn’t even tell me before living. I was just watching TV when his call came in and he babbled about the spontaneous trip he made to Russia.
I acted like I didn’t care but I know how quiet the mansion has been since his disappearance. Especially when I’m made to remember how things ended between us the night before he suddenly traveled.
Oh, I don’t want to remember that…now…
“Nick, hey!” I brighten up at the sight of Nick walking into the physics class with goggles and a lab coat.
He stops and smiles, pushing his arms open and I rush into it, hugging him. Honestly, whenever I remember that Nick will leave once we finish exams I feel insanely hurt.
My life would have been boring without my two BFFs. They mean a lot to me.
Before I can speak, Nick kicks my face up and presses a quick kiss on my lips and cheeks. Playfully, I smack his arm.
“Ella is going to murder you.” I joke but he’s quick to respond.
“It’s you she’ll kill, trust me.”
I double over in laughter at his words. The extent he and Ella had gone in their relationship still marvels me. They just turned from enemies to lovers, who would have thought?
To think Ella is unapologetically possessive about Nick? Huh. I’m so happy for them.
Nick even told Sage and me about their plans to move to Europe together if their parents agree. That got Sage and I surprised, we never even thought it reach that level.
Although the only the challenge they are facing is Ella’s dad who wants the girl to move to Colombia and stay with his brother
family.
“Have you seen Sage?” I ask him and he shakes his head.
“I bet she’s with Ms. Lynn…” He whispers, wetting his lips.
We both know what happens whenever Sage’s
with Ms. Lynn. It’s all about endless sex and kisses.
I bet Lynn is giving Sage good luck kisses by now, for the exams we are about to start.
“I know right?” I quip with a chuckle.
The nights before when David stumbled into my room, I was watching the video Sage sent me.
I didn’t know she was recording their sex video on the first day of their naughty sex play in school.
Sage showed me how she had rutted Lynn’s pussy with her strap-on dildo, making the woman beneath her cream like she had never done before.
Fuck, the video aroused me and I was pushed to deliver my naughty daily report to David.
I had my eyes on the video, one of my hands on my phone sending texts to David while the other hand was working in and out of me, rutting my walls with sweetness as I finger myself.
Everything I felt, I translated it into text and sent it to him.
I wasn’t aware the man was just at my door until he burst it open and stood before me.
My face turns a shade of red when I remember that night…
“What are you thinking Vee?” Nick speaks up, interrupting my thoughts which I’m thankful for…because what David said to me that night, is enough to make me squirt on my panties right now.
But that night made me understand that no man will handle me the way I desire except the man I call father…
“When are your papers starting?” I rattle off before Nick finds out I was just thinking naughty now.
“By noon and you?” He asks.
“Same….”
“Nick, where were you?”
I turn, following Nick’s gaze just to see Ella standing behind us.
“Vera.” She stalks closer and shakes me. You have papers together?” She asks me but I shake my head no.
“Just wanted to wish him luck,” I say to her. Knowing they need privacy, I wish Nick good luck and then walk away.
The hallway is filled up and as I pass, I see the guys in the football team clustered together. Before I step away, Harry juts out and holds my hand in his.
“Vera.” He swallows and I do too. Harry swerves me into an archway and I press my back against the wall, only for him to grab my chin and kiss my cheeks.
“I just wanna wish you good luck.” He says. The suddenness of his actions has me shocked and unwilling to speak. But I see the genuine feeling in his eyes for me.
“Thank you,” I mutter sheepishly. “Well, and you too.” He nods in gratitude gazing into my eyes.
I might have accepted the guy if David’s not the picture. He’s bad but good in some ways which is what I love. A blend of something good and bad at the same time.
Only…
“Vera…about what I told you some time ago?” His voice breaks my thoughts and I look up, my mind swirling in thought.
The instant I remember it, I nod. “Yes. What happened?”
“You have to be careful Vera. I still see him around…”
“Who is that?” I gasp, feeling the surge of something similar to fear.
Honestly, Harry’s words are scaring me shitless. It makes me remember the boogeyman I saw some time ago.
“I don’t know Vee. I see him this minute and I don’t see him in the next. I don’t what he wants but I think it’s not genuine. You’ve got to be extra careful.”
I manage a nod, feeling dread wash through me.
Is there something to be scared about when you have Andrei? My inner voice asks and Andrei’s bulky size falls into my vision, giving me some moments of peace.
I understand Harry is looking out for me or that he’s trying to make me love him and seek his protection but then I have Andrei, meaning I’ve got nothing to fear.
“Well, thanks, Harry. I appreciate.”
I break away from him and start down the hallway when Harry wishes me good luck.
The bell goes off and the students that have papers now rush into their exam halls to occupy the seats.
I don’t have any now, so…I go over to the tree side and huddle over the grass to memorize my books.
While on it, my gaze wander up a little and fall by the hallway where Sage was sneaking out of Lynn’s office. I see Lynn push her back a little and kiss her lips quickly before Sage walks off.
The both of them are grinning and I smile. I get my phone and call Sage to meet me by the tree’s side.
“I just saw you,” I announce
as she draws closer.
Sage dumps into the grass beside me, trickling her stray strand behind her ear.
“You saw me where?” She asks, looking unusually excited.
“You know where…” Pausing, I sniff Sage in and… “You smell of sex, girl. What did you do?”
“Ugh…Vera. You don’t mention sex like that…” She jokes, tipping her brow up.
“Says the one that’s been blasting my ears off about how her secret lover rut her clit with her big ones.” I quip and she laughs.
Sage later said Lynn was only eating her up as a good luck for her final papers. I share in her joy while I wish it’ll be me.
It gets to the time we’ll write our papers and we enter the hall, writing.

David’s POV.
My stay in Russia was longer than I expected but all the while I was asking Andrei when Vera would finish her exams so I would be home and able to…attend her graduation
ceremony.
I want to make myself available this time. However, William kept calling me, pressurizing me that sign off my rights over Vera.
I don’t know why he’s putting me under such pressure. My mind kept telling me he has ulterior motive. That’s what I believe in until one of the senior officers called and demanded we meet.
I knew then that…there’s nothing I can do to prevent this from happening.
This morning, I wrap up my meeting in Russia, and Charlie and I fly back to America, heading straight to the company.
On stumbling into my office, I see the CPS waiting there for me.
My heart beats insanely hard until it tumbles into my stomach.
I’m under pressure. I don’t know how to go about this now but I need to do something and fast.
My feet hammer over the floor as I inch closer to them.
William hurries to his feet and greets me.
Mrs. Margaret does so too and I take a seat.
“We’re so sorry for the trouble Mr. Truman but the higher-ups are requesting that we do this.” Mrs. Margaret says.
She slides the paper to me and I stare with a raging heart tempo.
What do I do to have Vera as mine?
To keep her under my authority?
I take the pen, inching it close to the paper…I try to scribble my signature until an idea flits through me.
I gaze up, looking at them as I mutter. “I want to adopt her as my daughter.”
To be continued.
