KNAM COLLEGE ****
Marvin rushed into the room and pulled Joelle into a hug, she was already awake.
“I was so scared” Marvin sniffed, he actually cried, he knew he would regret it for the rest of his life if anything happened to her.
“Don’t ever do that again”.
Joelle smiled a little, she was happy that he cared so much about her.
“I won’t ever scare you that way again” Joelle sighed, she felt pain in her heart but his care had just soothed it.
He parted the hug and kissed her lips gently.
Marvin signed and placed the top of his nose on hers “I only kissed Belle to have my revenge, I’m sorry”
“I know,” Joelle muttered and kissed his lips.
The doctor walked into the room, Marvin quickly turned to him and asked “How is my girlfriend?”
Joelle’s eyes widened in shock, she never knew she was his girlfriend, her cheeks flushed red listening to him.
“She’s fine, she passed out because of a little spike in her blood pressure” the doctor replied, it was actually a lie, Joelle had told him to keep her condition private.
“Her heart stopped, I didn’t feel anything,” Marvin argued, not believing a word the doctor had said.
“I am telling the truth, young man” the doctor kept smiling at his face.
“Thanks doctor” She smiled at him and the doctor left from there.
“I don’t believe that guy”Marvin pouted, he looked cute with that pout.
Joelle kissed his lips and laughed.
Marvin hugged her again” I don’t want to lose you “.
” Neither do I “Joelle blinked back her tears.
” I love you “Joelle whispered…
He smiled in response and buried his face in her shoulder.

” It doesn’t hurt anymore, I don’t know what that nurse did, she turned my bone like, prah! “Rania demonstrated and Andre laughed.
” Was it painful? “Andre questioned.
” It wasn’t but I screamed though “She chuckled, she couldn’t believe that she was chatting with Andre, it was weird.
Andre smiled and moved closer to her, she felt nervous and a sudden heat crept on her skin.
” Princess, don’t I deserve something?”He smirked sheepishly.
Rania eyed him ” I owe you nothing ”
” Excuse me!, I carried you all the way here and you were as heavy as a sack of beans “Andre teased and she gasped.
” That’s not true “Rania pouted.
” You are so cute “Andre smiled.” I deserve a reward ”
” What do you want? “Rania asked with an eye roll.
“I want to have a date with you, meet me at the flourish pack by 10pm”He winked at her.
” I don’t even know where that is and that’s too late”
” Find your way, Princess and 10pm isn’t too late for princesses”Andre shrugged his shoulders.
Andre reached for her hand and held it softly “Don’t disappoint me, Princess” he kissed her knuckles.
His smoke made her heart flutter, the feeling irritated her.
Simon pulled Andre away from Rania and stood beside.
“What the hell are you doing here ?Stay away from Leonora!” Simon roared.
“What if I don’t?” Andre smirked and moved closer to Simon.
“Then be ready to die, I mean it Andre, if you dare take her away from me too, I will kill you” Simon sneered at him, he wasn’t joking, there was so much seriousness in his eyes.
Rania held his hand to ease tension “Bear that’s enough”
“Don’t disappoint me, Princess” Andre flashed a smile at her and left the room.
“What’s he talking about?”
“Bear, you know he’s crazy”Rania faked an innocent smile.

FLOURISH PARK-8pm
Rania limped a bit to the park, she saw Andre sitting right there waiting for her.
She unknowingly smiled, he looked at her direction and smiled back.
Andre stood up and sauntered briskly to her,he smiled “Hi, Princess”
“Hi, why did you call me here?” She asked straightforwardly.
It was an open park and people go in and out but it’s quite late and people are at the comfort of their homes.
“Nothing,” He shrugged.
“Are you nuts?I don’t know why I even came to meet a jerk like you. I don’t understand myself anymore, I only came here because I… I….”
“You what?” Andre whispered and pulled her closer to him.
“If it isn’t the lovebirds of the year”
“Yes!”
Rania and Andre faced the strangers and they were three hefty men only one of them spoke though.
“I think we should get out here” Andre whispered into her ear, they turned to the other direction and saw three more men.
“Oh Sh|t” Andre cussed.
Rania held his hand in fear but he shook her hand off.
“We are just here for the girl” the first one that had spoken, said.
“Me?” Rania shivered, she knew there was trouble, unfortunate, she didn’t bring Poppy with her, she actually sneaked from home.
Andre swallowed hard when the guy brought a pocket knife.
“Please, I haven’t done anything” Rania muttered close to tears, she held Andre but he kept pushing her away.
“You all are here for her, right?”
“Yes”
“Then, I’m leaving” Andre raised his hands up in cowardice.
“What are you saying?” Rania cried out and held him but he pushed her away.
“Bye guys” Andre waved like a weakling and walked away from there.
“Andre, don’t do this to me, please, Andre!” Rania screamed in tears but Andre didn’t turn back.
“Andre, don’t leave me here” Rania cried loudly.
She wanted to run but the man holding the knife caught her by the arm.
“No, don’t hurt me I beg you” Rania cried helplessly, her whole body shaking out of fright.
“Andre!!!”
The man immediately slit her arm open with the knife and threw her harshly on the floor.
“Aah!!!” Rania cried and held her bleeding arm.
The six men surrounded her.
“She’s so fragile”
“Andre!!!” Rania cried, she didn’t bring her phone or bag, she was at the mercy of these men.
“Please, don’t hurt me” Rania says, crawling back but she had no way of escaping.
“Let’s have some fun”
They all started removing their belts.
“No ooo please, Simon help me” Rania yelled, crying uncontrollably.
“No one will help you, baby”
“Andre!!!”
