CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Enjoy!!!

Bianca's POV

Chioma took me to the dance floor, and I danced away, my jamb score is out and I scored 258points, my SSCE exam was excellent, the result is yet to be out but I'm sure of the things I wrote, kayla and i are now really close, I've the best, loving and caring boyfriend, my life is changing for the best gradually.

After dancing, I went back to where I left Ethan but he wasn't there, I checked everywhere I couldn't find him, I just assumed he's in the rest room, he'll be back soon.

One of the teachers went on stage to announce the queen of the year and everyone gave out a shout of joy.

"I'm sure you all know what I'm on this stage for" Mrs Kendrick, the commerce teacher said.

"To announce the queen of the year" we shouted

"The title goes to... Chioma obiora who has 146 votes" she announced and everyone screamed happily and congratulated her, I hugged her and she went on stage to get her crown.

I Stared at my best friend, she looks so happy, David joined her on the stage and everyone shrieked even more. I looked around for Ethan again but I didn't see him anywhere. Chioma gave her speech.

I thank you all for voting me to get this crown, our set is a great one I'm sure the teachers can never forget about" she said and everyone laughed. "Yeah! We are the most brilliant and stubborn students, no dull moments with us, I'm sure the teachers enjoyed teaching our set, we are going to miss you all" she said to the teachers. "And our honourable principal Williams, we love you and we assure you , you will see us in greater height in future, you made us legends and we will never forget Legends international high school. Thank you so much" she ended her speech and everyone clapped. She walked down the stage and she hugged me.

"I told you, you would win" I said proudly

"Yeah, you did" she rolled her eyes.

"Who else is worthy of the crown if not her?" David said and chioma blushed.

It was time to show the pictures of our set on projector, our pictures since junior school, pictures we took during school parties, inter house sports and many others, they showed us a lot of pictures that made us laugh until a video started playing.

The video isn't clear because it was taken from the window but I can see that the person in the video is me, Ethan's face didn't show because he was backing the camera but mine did. It's a video of us having sex. Everyone murmured and stared at me. The video stopped playing and everyone murmured saying a lot of terrible things.

"She pretends to be holy but she's nothing but a slut" some said

"Look at her, shameless girl" some said.

I heard a lot of things as I was still in shock, Chioma held my arm and tried to walk me out of the hall but layla blocked our way with a devilish smirk on our face and I knew she did it.

"Tsk- tsk- tsk, that's how our holy Bianca gave out her precious flower to a total stranger" she said sarcastically. " you think I won't find out, you and my foolish sister have been fooling me and my mom?" She asked but I couldn't answer, I stared at her with no expression on my face, my face was numb.

"Well, I think you deserve to know, Ethan gave me the video and told me to play it for everyone to see" she said and grinned.

"Ethan would never do that!" David shot at her angrily.

"Sorry white boy, he did!" She said and faced chioma.

"This white boy is going to do the same to you, queen of the year"she said to chioma with venom and chioma turned to look at David.

"He knows about this whole video thing, he's just pretending" she said to Chioma as she pointed to David. "Don't you David?" She asked him.

"I know nothing about this I swear chioma, I can never hurt you or Bianca" he said painfully.

Chioma dragged me out of the hall and on my way, I met Mrs Kendrick.

"Bianca" she called calmly. "I can't pretend to you, I'm disappointed in you, you are just a young girl, how could you engage in premarital sex with a foreigner, a guy you hardly know?" She asked calmly but I can sense she's mad at me. I couldn't say anything, I just stared at her as tears streamed down my face, I felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"Where is he now?" She asked but I couldn't say anything. "Chioma take her home and take care of her, I will sort things out here and make sure the video does not leave this vicinity" she said and Chioma took me away. I heard David trying to talk to Chioma but she shut him out, she removed the crown angrily from her head and threw it on the floor, she stopped a cab and we left.

Layla

After I saw them at the park that day, I didn't stop tailing them, I told the girl to keep monitoring them. Until I found out, there's something going on between my sister and Bianca, they seem to be on good terms. Kayla came to tell my mom she's going for a vigil and she wants Bianca to come with her, I knew she was lying so I called the girl to have them followed.

She came back the next day and told me how Ethan celebrated Bianca's birthday in a romantic way, she showed me a video, she said when she saw them going into the room, she went outside and took a video of them from a slightly opened window just around the terrace, the video isn't really clear but even a blind person will know it's Bianca and Ethan. I was happy, I finally found a way to separate them for life. I kept the video with me for weeks trying to think of what to do with it and i finally came up with her plan.

I know I can't force Ethan to love me but I can force him to leave Bianca, I threatened him with the video and it worked. At the party tonight, I saw him with bianca and I warned him again and he promised this is the last time he would talk her. I saw them went to the terrace and when they came back, Chioma took bianca to the dance floor and Ethan went out, I followed him to his car.

"Where are you going Ethan?" I asked in curiosity

"Disappearing, I'm doing what you want" he yelled as he turned to faced me, his face is stiff and his eye balls are red, he's close to tears. The strong confident Ethan is close to tears just because of Bianca. "Why can't he just love me instead" I wondered

"You are leaving the country?" I asked calmly.

"Where I'm going to is not your business, just delete that video and make sure Bianca does not see it" he entered his car after saying that and drove off recklessly.

I fumed in anger, Ethan would have been mine if Bianca had not interfered. I must ruin her just the way she ruined me, she destroyed and sent away my only source of happiness, I'll make sure she won't be able to show her face to the world anymore. I went inside and I saw Mrs Kendrick about to announce the queen of the year and my heart fluttered happily not until I heard.

"The title goes to... Chioma obiora, with 146 votes" my heart sank as I turned to see chioma walking majestically towards the podium. I'm pretty, I have a good shape, i'm popular, I'm the school head prefect, why can't people vote me instead, I'm the only person worthy of the crown, I'm suppose to get whatever I want, I can't have Ethan, I didn't get the crown either, these two witches took the Two most precious things from me". I thought angrily. I watched David go on the stage with her and everyone clapped the more, she gave her sucking speech and I stared at mine that I've written in a paper already. I squeezed the paper and threw it away in fury. I went to meet the technician, I gave him N2000 and told him to play a video for me, he didn't know what it's about so he just took it.

When it was time I grinned happily, I saw how shocked she was, and how her face went sour, yes! That's what I want for her, a life full of sorrow and bitterness, that's what she deserves!.

Ethan

I drove to a hotel near the airport and I switched off my phone, I lodge in and laid on the bed as my heart ached, I don't have the strength to cry.

I've called my mom already and I told her I'm coming, she was very happy and told me she would prepare my favourite dish. I'm yet to tell my dad I'm leaving Nigeria, I'll go see him when I get to New York even though I don't like visiting him because of the bitch he calls his wife. The woman he brought home after divorcing my mother. She hasn't been able to conceive since she started courting my dad, their marriage isn't even legal, she's still a live in girlfriend to me. My dad secretly dated her for seven years until my mom found out, she filed for a divorce and he signed the papers, they divorced when I was ten. At last, my father was able to be with that African bitch. My mom went back to her music career and she made it, she became wealthy and known every where in the world. My mother later discovered she was pregnant after the successful divorce, since she can cater for the baby, she didn't bother to inform my dad but she had to tell him after she gave birth to her, I've a eight years old pretty sister, her name is Kylie.

I can't wait to see my mother and my sister again, I feel hurt and I need my mother's care to help me out, I've not gone and I'm missing patty already. "She must be looking for me now, wondering where I am" I thought.

I couldn't sleep through out the night, I kept rolling on the bed, the next day, I lodge out and went into the airport, after twenty minutes, the plane was ready to take off, we got ready and the plane took off, after few minutes I slept off.

I heard from my sleep that the plane is about to land and I wondered how long I slept. The plane landed and we went into the airport, when I got to the receiving area, I saw my mom's manager with two bodyguards.

Well, I'm quite popular here, everyone knows me as Jeanette Wellington's son and the heir to Wellington groups. I wore my sun glasses to avoid unnecessary attention.

"Welcome sir" Mr West , my mother's manager said and I nodded

They walked me outside and we saw tons of paparazzi outside, I wondered how they knew about my arrival, someone that knows me must have seen me in Nigeria. The bodyguards covered me till I was able to enter the car. When I got home, my heart was filled with joy , when I saw my mother, she shed tears of joy and told me how much she missed me.

I saw my eight years old sister and I hugged her happily. It was until I saw the food my mother prepared for me I realised I've not eaten since layla showed me the video. I wanted to tell my mother about what happened in Nigeria but I brushed it off and decided to forget Bianca for good.
