Chapter 4: Charles' fiancee

I didn't pay much attention either, after all, Charles and I hadn't started to fall in love. I stayed away from him later. But my actions inadvertently evoked the beast in Charles' heart.

I took two days off from school to find a part-time job. I applied to be an employee at a coffee shop in the lobby of a large company, although the salary is not very high. But for me, it is still enough money for me to spend on the things I need. My father gave me a lot of money. He my tuition fees he paid in full. I want to be independent with my own hands. Buy some miscellaneous things that I like with my money.

On the third day, I went back to school. I was stopped by Charles. He cornered me against the wall not letting me go.

"Charles, what do you want from me?"

"My words to you still don't understand? I like you. I'm after you."

I couldn't help but laugh. He said he liked me. But as soon as he got out of school, he hugged another girl and went to bed with her.

"Charles, there's a lot of people like me in this school. Why did you choose me? If I missed yelling at you last time, I'm sorry. Can you let me go?"

Charles angrily squeezed my chin. I struggled with pain but couldn't get rid of his hand.

"Why don't you think, there are so many people like you but I'm stubbornly pursuing you? Because I like you."

"Do you feel your words are credible?”

Charles smiled, helplessness enveloping him. I don't want to waste my youth with a bad boy. My relationship with him will not have a good outcome. In the end, the disadvantaged can only be me. 

"You think I want to play with you?" 

I didn't answer Charles. I looked him in the eye.

“Damned.”

He roared, his hand slamming against the wall. He tried to stay calm, but the look in his eyes at me scared me.

"Didn't you say I just wanted to play with emotions you? Okay, I'll tell you what it's like to "play" today."

One of his hands gripped two of my hand and pressed against the wall, the other fumbling inside my shirt. I resist in despair. His breath at my neck brought with it a heat that made my body tremble. Each of his kisses left a red mark on my neck. 

Pain, shame, and humiliation made me cry. He paused, his gaze on me complicated. Struggling for a moment, he let go of me. I collapsed to the ground crying uncontrollably.

Charles and two of his friends left. I went to the bathroom to adjust my clothes and put on my facial makeup smeared from crying just finished. I entered the classroom as usual. I didn't see Charles today. In the days that followed, I go to school in the morning and go to work in the coffee shop in the afternoon. In the evening I study in groups with Sarah and Eira at the library. Serena doesn't talk to us very often anymore.

I went to work today. I didn't expect to see Serena at work. She didn't know I was here. Probably she doesn't come to see me. 

Things began to unravel when the person Serena met was Charles. Seeing me staring at the other two, the colleague next to me explained.

"That's the son of the owner of this company." 

I pretended to be curious and asked my co-worker. 

"So, who's the girl walking next to him?" 

"It's his fiancée."

So this is what Serena hid from me. She didn't want me to get close to Charles. I was angry. I don't know for what reason. Maybe it's because I thought Serena and I were best friends. It's also possible that the cause of my anger is that I have feelings for Charles.

I don't want to think about this anymore. I have my job. After work, I went back to my dorm by myself. Today I feel tired. I want to go back to my bedroom to sleep.

Half a month later, Serena made an appointment with me again. At this point, I had no way of treating her like a friend anymore. She doesn't want to talk too much with me. I just sat down she got straight to the point.

"Jenny quit your part-time job. How much money do you need? I'll give you. Do you want to receive the money once, or I deposit it in your account every month?"

"What relationship do you have with Charles?"

I'm really lazy to talk to Serena. Her actions were like insulting me. Am I a greedy girl? No, Am I. I am not in a relationship with Charles. Why should I take her money and leave? What does the matter of the two of them have to do with me?

Serena looked at me in surprise, but she didn't want to keep cheating on me either. She candidly admitted.

"I'm Charles' fiancée."

"Why approach me? I just got to this place. How did you know Charles would choose me? I'm not related to him at the moment. He doesn't follow me anymore. Why are you still looking for me?"

Serena doesn't look like my dorm roommate anymore. She is a stranger to me now. She changes so fast, Serena from a friendly friend to a villain. The person in front of me is a noble girl sitting on top of looking down at me.

"Because you're the kind of person Charles likes the most. You are in bed very obedient and weak. Over the past few years, he'd tasted a lot of hot girls. Now he wants to change his taste. He wants to taste a lovely obedient girl."

Serena told me that, from the moment I showed up at the university gates, Charles had his eye on me. He aimed at me. So Serena came to me to warn me of Charles' danger. But something wasn't quite right. I asked a few longtime employees at the Charles family company. Charles is a bad boy. He determines which girl will not let her out of his hand. Unless he was already in bed with that person, he kicked her.

Why did Charles forgive me? I haven't seen him in half a month. He rescheduled his classes, not studying with me anymore.

"I don't take your money. I don't have a relationship with Charles either. You don't need to use the money to kick me out. I won't quit my job."

I stood up to leave. Serena angrily grabbed me, pushing me against the wall. Did she want to hit me?
