In the bustling parking lot of Ifewood University, students were flowing in and out of Mozambique Hostel, a female dormitory. James Keenan, a charismatic postgraduate student of business known as a "Campus Bad Boy," had always thrived in the spotlight. His reputation as a con man from his undergraduate days still echoed through the campus, and he had recently gained prominence as a key member of the notorious Eagles Fraternity.The Eagles were known for their ominous tactics, and they were much feared on campus. James, along with his friends Shane, Gabriel, and Austin, all shared this menacing reputation. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the pavement as they sat in Shane's car, puffing away on cigarettes and nursing their thoughts about the party that was about to take place on the outskirts of town. With the summer break officially in effect, most students had returned home, leaving only a handful behind.As they shared stories and exchanged laughter, James's piercing

As James and Beatrice continued their conversation, sharing their thoughts and experiences, a unique connection seemed to develop between them. The dimly lit room and the cloud of smoke and conversation around them began to fade into the background as they forged a deeper understanding of each other. Suddenly, as Beatrice opened up about her struggles, James seized the opportunity to express his true intentions. He leaned in slightly, his tone sincere. "Beatrice, I have to be honest with you. From the moment I laid eyes on you in that university parking lot, I was determined to get to know you better. It's not just about tonight, but I'm genuinely interested in dating you." Beatrice's eyes widened at his unexpected confession. She hadn't anticipated such a direct approach, and the situation felt surreal given the backdrop of the party. A mix of emotions swirled within her – surprise, curiosity, and a hint of excitement. "James," she began, "this is all so sudden, and I wasn't expec

Two nights ago, a fierce clash between the Eagles and the Falcons had erupted at a party. The altercation had left two members of the Falcons with broken arms and bloodied faces, marking a violent confrontation between the rival gangs. The news of this brawl spread like wildfire across the campus, intensifying the existing tension between the two groups. Beatrice, however, was oblivious to this violent incident. She had spent her entire day in the library, immersed in her studies, unaware of the brewing rivalry outside. Later that evening, she met up with James for their date, unaware of the storm that had recently engulfed the campus. Beatrice and James's date continued to unfold, and there was no indication that James had been involved in the fight with the Falcons the previous night. He exuded charm and composure, showing no signs of a recent confrontation. But the legend of the con master had already reverberated throughout the university, leaving students in awe of his enigmati

Beatrice's worries had melted away, and she found herself contemplating Professor Bam's strange plea to stay away from his family. This enigmatic statement had left her with questions, but she had decided to set those concerns aside as she awaited her meeting with James later in the day. At 4 p.m., James arrived, and as he caught sight of Beatrice, he was struck by her radiant presence. She was swaying from side to side, her jet-black hair cascading like a waterfall, and a joyous smile gracing her face. He couldn't help but be captivated by her, realizing that she was truly a heart-stopper, a game-changer in his world, if only the complications surrounding them could be averted. Impulsively, Beatrice ran up to him, and James caught her in mid-air, their eyes locking in a shared moment of affection. He gently planted a kiss on her forehead, his voice filled with warm playfulness. "I can tell your exam must have been a breeze," he remarked, his eyes reflecting his admiration. Beatric

The day following her emotional encounter with James, Beatrice found herself grappling with a jumble of emotions. She had been adamant about not wanting a relationship during her first two years of college, intending to focus on her studies instead. Yet James had entered her life like a whirlwind, making her question her own resolutions. What was it about him that kept pulling at her thoughts? In an attempt to clear her mind, Beatrice decided to take a trip to town and do some shopping. She also wanted to stock up on some of the famous local snacks that Ife City was known for. It was her way of grounding herself and temporarily shifting her focus away from the enigmatic James. As she strolled through the mall, she was suddenly taken by surprise when she ran into Shane, a fellow student she had briefly met at the Eagles's lackluster party. Her initial reaction was to pretend she hadn't seen him, but Shane, with his confident demeanor, approached her without hesitation. "Do I not des
