With the fast pace of her feet, Dove arrived at Vincent’s mansion.
The mansion was big and would cost billions of dollars, but that wasn’t Dove’s priority right now.
Her main focus was on Vincent.
She was drenched by the rain from head to toe, with her short hair sticking all over face, but she didn’t care.
“Vinny!” She called him banging on the gate, as the heavy rain drenched on her.
“Vinny!!” She called out his name again, but there was no sign of him coming out.
Recalling he fainted earlier, Dove climbed over the fence, gaining access to the luxurious compound of his house.
Dove ran towards his door, she was about to knock when she discovered that the door was slightly opened.
She quickly entered the house and found Vincent lying on the cold floor in his glamorous living room.
“Vinny!” She rushed to him.
Dove gasped when she noticed the hotness of his body, and his face was reddish as well.
“Vinny” She tapped him, but no response came from him.
Though he was breathing, he was unconscious.
“What should I do?” She asked with worries.
Dove wanted to call Jovita, but she couldn’t because she left her phone at home and rushed to Vincent’s house.
“Why would you eat the eggs you’re allergic to?” Dove asked as if Vincent would give answers to her questions.
With every strength in her, she carried Vincent and laid him on the couch.
The hotness of his body increases, scaring Dove the more.
It took her thirty seconds before she could know where the kitchen was.
Vincent’s mansion is big and it could contain an entire generation.
Dove got a bowl and filled it with water, she took the white neat towel in the kitchen, and went back to Vincent who was still unconscious on the couch.
“I hope it works” Dove said and took in her lips.
She dipped the white hand towel inside the bowl and began to calm his temperature with it, and she did so, she used the opportunity to take a good look at him.
This is the first she’d see him up close and his sleeping face.
He is indeed handsome.
Dove smiled as she continued admiring his sleeping handsome face, but she got back to her senses and hit her head.
“Get a grip, Dove! You have a boyfriend. Don’t be swayed by his handsomeness” Dove said and her eyes fell on his pink lips.
She recalled how he forcefully kissed her some weeks ago, and her hand slowly went to her lips, touching it.
Dove shook her head.
“Stop it, Dove!” She hit her head again, but nevertheless, she continued calming his temperature with the wet towel.
“Dovey” Vincent said, he was still unconscious.
“What is his deal? He is almost losing his life, and yet he is calling my name. He must h@të his life” She said, placing the wet towel under the shirt he was wearing.
“Dovey” He called her again.
“What?” She asked.
He said something next, but she didn’t hear him.
“What are you trying to say?” She takes her ear closer to his mouth.
“I love you Dovey. I love you so much” He said in a low pitch voice, with his eyes closed.
Just looking at him, you’d see he was trying to bear the pains he was feeling, even if he was unconscious.
“Was that why you ate the scrambled eggs I made, when you know you’re allergic to it?” Dove asked with a smile, taking his hair up, but it fell back to his forehead.
Dove continued calming the hotness of his body, and she didn’t know when she slept off.
***
It was already 12am when Vincent regained his consciousness.
It has stopped raining already.
He was still feeling a little bit of pain from eating what he is allergic to.
He tried getting up, but Dove’s head that was on his chest prevented him from doing so.
Vincent had to rub his eyes thrice to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, but there was beautiful Dove sleeping beside him.
“What’s she doing here?” He muttered to himself, but it didn’t take him up to two minutes before recalling he was on a phone call with Dove before he passed out.
“Did she come here just because I passed out?”
Vincent looked at her, and her wet hair was covering her face.
A smile appeared on his face, immediately.
He was glad that Dove cared for him.
Her clothes were wet, but he knows Dove will kill him if he tries taking off her clothes.
It’d have been a different case if she was his girlfriend.
In order not to wake her up, he carried her gently and headed for the room upstairs.
He dropped her on the bed, and sat beside her looking at her beautiful face.
“You weren’t lying when you said you were obtaining beauty. Are you Aurora, the sleeping beauty?” Vincent asked and chuckled, slowly taking off the strand of her wet hair from her face.
“Thanks for caring about me, Dovey” He smiled, but the smile disappeared when he felt pains in his stomach.
The pains won’t go away until tomorrow.
“Good night Dovey” He covered her with a duvet, and went straight to the kitchen.
He drank three glasses of milk, but the pains were still there.
What makes his allergy worse is that it has no redemption. He just has to go through with the pain until tomorrow.
He went straight to another room to sleep, cuz it’d get worse if he was awake.
Vincent was smiling in his sleep, because the thought that Dove was in his house because she was worried about him, brought smiles to his face.
******
The following morning, Dove wakes up with a sneeze. It was a result of running in the rain last night and sleeping on wet clothes.
Dove furrowed her eyebrows when she saw herself in a luxurious room, but she later remembered she came to Vincent’s house last night.
“Did he bring me to his room?” She asked and sneezed again.
It was so obvious it was his room, cuz his huge frame was in the room.
Dove got down from the bed, and she kept sneezing as she left the room.
She went to the living room, but he wasn’t there.
“Vinny!” She called him and sneezed again.
“Good morning,” He said from behind her.
Dove turned to look at him, and he flashed a smile at her.
She went closer to him, and hits his chest.
“Ouch! Why are you being so aggressive?” He asked.
“Are you an idiot? Why would you eat eggs when you’re allergic to it?!”
“I told you, I ate it because you made it” He smiled and Dove hits chest again.
“Stop joking with your life!” She yells and sneezes again.
“I am no longer in pain. Drink this, it will stop your sneezing. I’d have taken off your clothes last night, but I know you will kill me”
“I am glad you predicted correctly” She took the bottle of medicine from him forcefully, and Vincent smiled.
“Thanks for worrying about me, Dovey. It’s a bit surprising that you came under the rain just to see how I was fairing”
“Don’t expect me to be a Good Samaritan, the next time you choose to eat eggs” She said.
“If it’s your cooking, then I won’t mind eating it”
“Give me permission to kick your face!”
Vincent laughs.
The doorbell rang, and he went to the door to take the clothes he ordered for Dove.
“Have your bath and put this on. I will prepare breakfast for you before you leave”
“Are you trying to show off that you’re a good cook?”
“At least you know I am a good cook”
Dove frowned cutely, hitting his chest slightly and he laughed.

•DOVE’S HOUSE•
“Really? Dove didn’t spend the night at home?” Izzy asked.
She visited Dove because they always go for a mass, very Monday morning, together.
“I was surprised when I didn’t find her in her room this morning. I’d have called her, but she left her phone in her room” Jacob said.
“Maybe she went to Niko’s”
“Under the heavy rain last night?”
“I don’t know what to say,” Izzy muffled.
“I am going to the station, I’d talk to her when I am back”
Izzy nodded and Jacob left.
After a few minutes Jacob left, Dove came back home wearing the expensive outfit Vincent got for her.
“Where the heck did you go under the heavy rain pouring last night? Your dad is so worried about you! What with the new expensive outfit?” Izzy asked.
“One question at a time, Izzy”
Izzy took a breath and asked “Where did you go last night?”
“Vincent’s house”
“Are you nuts? Why did you go to his house?!”
“He was sick and it was because of me”
“Details”
“My dad invited him to join us for dinner, he’s allergic to eggs, but he ate it because of me. He got really sick and fainted on the floor. I was worried about him, so I went to his house”
“What happened between you two?”
“What the heck are you saying, Izzy? Nothing happened!”
“Vincent is a bad boy, there’s no way you’d spend the night in his house and nothing happened between you two”
“Believe me, Izzy, nothing happened between us. Vincent might be a bad boy, but he’s not that bad like you think. He didn’t make an attempt to touch me” Dove said.
“Are you sure the both of you didn’t kiss or have s*x?”
“C’mon Izzy, I’m not a loose lady!” Dove said.
Izzy remembered how she cheaply gave her body to Charon and sighed.
“Are you still going for the mass?” She asked, trying to brighten up.
“Yes! Let’s go” Dove said with a smile, leaving with Izzy.
Dora, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, smirked.
“She spent the night at Vincent’s house? Interesting. Perfect timing, cuz her relationship with Niko, is coming to an end” Dora smirked and dialed Niko’s number.

•MINT-MORE•
All the employees kept looking at Vincent in dismay because he was smiling like never before.
He had so much joy in his heart, cuz Dove cares for him
👤I wonder what’s making him so happy?
👤 I know he always wears a smile, but this is my first time seeing smiling so much
👤 Maybe someone pressed his happy button
“Is everything okay with you?” Candy asked when she entered his office.
“Why?” He smiled.
“You look super happy”
Vincent giggles.
“Have we gotten new suppliers?” He asked.
“Not yet”
“Okay”
“I thought you were sad that Dove terminated her contract with you, why are you no longer sad about it?” She asked.
“It’s none of your business” He said, signing on some docvments, smiling.
Candy suspiciously looked at him.
******
“Why did you call me out here?” Niko asked Dora.
“On a normal norms, I won’t have called you, but since it involves you, I had no option”
“What are you trying to say, Dora?”
“Do you know Vincent Moore?”
“How did you know him?”
“Dove said she’s friends with him”
“Dove is still friends with Vincent!” He said in a loud voice.
“So you gave her instructions like always? Sorry to burst your bubbles, but I don’t think Dove obeyed you. She is friends with Vincent, and even ate with us like he is a son-in-law to my family”
Niko clenched his fist and seeing his reaction, Dora smiled.
“Do you want to know the most shocking part of this? Dove slept at Vincent’s house”
“Dove did what?!!”
“I’m sure your ears aren’t clogged. She didn’t spend the night at home, cuz she was with Vincent. If you ask me, I think she’s cheating on you”
“Dove can never do that!”
“I know you’re going to say that, but call my dad to confirm. He’d tell you Dove wasn’t home last night” Dora said.
Niko quickly called Jacob, and he picked up immediately.
“Hello dad”
“I was about to call you Niko. I know you and Dove are dating, but did you necessarily need to call her to come to your house under the rain? I was so worried when I didn’t find Dove in her room this morning”
“I… am sorry” He ended the call. He was burning in anger.
“See, I wasn’t lying. There’s no way a man and a woman will sleep under the same roof without Füçking each other” Dora said.
Niko’s phone chimed and it was a message from
Candy
•I THINK DOVE AND VINCENT ARE ON SPEAKING TEAMS. VINCENT LOOKS SO HAPPY THIS MORNING•
Reading the message, Niko immediately went gaga.
******
•NIKO’S HOUSE•
Dove entered Niko’s house after he opened the door for her.
“Is there something wrong? You said you wanted to talk to me?” Dove asked, innocently.
“Go to my room”
“Why?”
“Now!!!!” He shouted at her.
Dove flinched and went to Niko’s room.
Niko followed suit, locking the door.
“What’s going on Niko? Why are you locking the door?” She asked.
“It’s because I don’t want you to find means of escaping when I start, but I won’t do what I have in mind, if you tell me the truth”
“Truth about what?” Dove asked, looking at him. She was kind of confused.
“Where were you last night?” He asked.
“I was at home,” Dove answered.
“At home?”
“Yes” She answered again, and Niko slapped her so hard on the face.
Dove held her cheek looking surprised.
“Niko”
“I asked for the second time where you were last night?!!”
“I was at home” She said in a crying voice, and in anger, he slapped her again.
The slap was so heavy and it made her fall, she also sustained a wound in her lips as a result of the slap.
“Niko, why are you doing this to me?” She said crying.
Niko angrily grabbed her hair, and Dove screamed in pain, crying.
“Do you possibly think I won’t find out? You slept in Vincent’s house!!!! Is he a better kisser than me? Is he a better Füçker than me?!!!!!”
“I admit I spent the night at his house, but nothing happened between me and Vinny” She cries.
“Stop lying to me!!!” Niko shouted, and slapped her again.
Dove hits her forehead on the wooden chair.
Her forehead began bleeding immediately, and her small face was occupied with Niko’s finger prints.
He held her neck forcefully, and she cried.
“All my life, I have always looked at only you, Dove! I have never looked at other ladies or even made an attempt to cheat on you! How could you do this to me, Dove?! Do you even have any idea what I involved myself in, just so I can give you a good life?! Why did you take my love for granted?!!!” He shouted at her.
Dove was already losing her breath, and her tears were washing her beautiful face.
“I didn’t cheat on you, nothing happened between Vinny and I, please believe me!” She cries.
“So you’re still going to lie about it?” He fumes.
He picked her up from the ground with her hair, Dove was screaming in pain, but he didn’t care and like that he threw her away.
Dove landed on the wardrobe, hurting several parts of her body.
“I didn’t do it,” She cried, getting weak.
She has no means of escaping, cuz he already locked the door.
Blood was coming out from her nostrils and mouth, even her body was bleeding, but Niko didn’t care.
He took off the belt he was wearing.
His anger has taken the best of him, and he wasn’t thinking straight.
“I need the truth from you! Why are you lying?!”
“Because I didn’t do it. I didn’t sleep with him! I did not have s*x with Vinny!” Dove said, crying.
“Liar!!!” He roared, he punch her stomach and he began lashing his belt on her.
“Niko, I am sorry!” She begs crying, but Niko continues lashing the belt on every part of her body.
Dove screamed and cried as he used the belt on her without mercy.
