Hating the Billionaire Heir Chapter Fifty-Four
Roman's POV I offer to drive Lindsey home after our conversation and she agrees. I just start the car after we settle into our seats when a loud noise breaks out. I'm a bit startled because it sounds like a wild animal growling. I look beside me and see Lindsey tensed, I would think she was scared due to the sound but she seems to be avoiding my gaze as if she were embarrassed. I narrow my eyes at her, "Was that your stomach, Cookie?" I ask her. I'm still in doubt because I've never heard such a growl come out of a person so small before. Lindsey rolls her eyes at me feigning annoyance but I can see she is just trying to hide her embarrassment. "I didn't eat before you interrupted Collins and I. Why can't you just ignore things, Roman?" She asks, truly annoyed. I find it cute. "You don't have to be embarrassed about your stomach growling, it happens to everyone" I explain lightly, amused. "Well, I wouldn't be embarrassed if you hadn't pointed it out so blatantly" She complains
Hating the Billionaire Heir Chapter Fifty-Five
Roman's POV After dropping Lindsey off I drive home. I'm reeling from different emotions and thinking about what has happened this evening. I had been pissed when Damon called me and told me Lindsey and Collins were on a date together. I felt betrayed, not by Collins but my Lindsey, and I had even started to doubt if I read her wrong and maybe she never liked me. My mind kept going on and on that maybe she doesn't feel the same and I've been blinded all along by my ego and feelings for her. When Damon had called me to pass along the information (gossip), I had been in the process of a virtual meeting with a few managers of our real estate companies. Normally I'm not supposed to even be involved in business dealings because I'm not eighteen yet and can't even make a legally binding agreement but I'm a majority shareholder and will be getting fully involved in a few months when I clock eighteen. Once in a while and usually for big deals or where serious decisions need to be made, th

On Monday morning I'm groggy and tired, the reason for my tiredness is Roman Masters. I'm also filled with a weird bustling energy that makes me want to jump up and down and smile unnecessarily. The reason for my feeling this way is also, Roman Masters. I couldn't sleep easily because my mind kept going on and on about how we're dating now. I didn't think I would enter into a relationship with anyone this my senior year. I believed I already knew all the boys that Rixon High has to offer and nothing could move me, I didn't count for the arrival of a new student. I didn't count for the arrival of Roman Masters. Now, I'm afraid that I'm caught in his web and something tells me leaving it won't be as easy as I entered. I pick up my phone to call Cassie to hurry up, it's already a few minutes after our usual departure time to school and she's not here yet. I'm however distracted by the notification of a new text message. It's from Roman. Sexiest Man Alive: Good morning, how's my g

We get to school in a hurry. We should have been late because of all the time we spent waiting for Robyn and although classes should have already started, we are shocked to see students roaming up and about. Case approaches us as we walk in towards our lockers. "Hey girls" He greets and then turns to Cassie. Without further ado, they begin to do what they do best and start to make out in the hallways. What should ordinarily be a good morning kiss is a full out French kissing session with the two. I grumble under my breath and turn to Robyn just in time to see her taking her exit. "Have fun third- wheeling with these two" She quips at me with a pained smile and leaves. Oh c'mon! Cassie and Case separate and I glare at them with an arched eyebrow, "Why do I always have to go through this every morning?" "Because you're my bestie" Cassie answers annoyingly. I ignore her and turn to Case, "Shouldn't everyone be in class for the first period? It's already after nine AM and yet stude

I and Cassie are on our way to the cafeteria now because it's lunch time now. Cassie is telling me about how our school board is considering installing cameras in the hallways, libraries, basketball, and football courts, and other places as a result of the vandalism that just occurred. As I listen to her talk, I notice not so silent bickering and whispering among the students that surround us. At first, I assume they are all also conversing about the vandalism and cameras which is the trending topic like Cassie and I but I am starting to guess that is not the case. For some reason, I feel like everyone is staring at me. I wonder if the students are suspecting that I'm the vandal. I chuckle lightly at the ridiculous thought. I'm probably imagining the stares, they can't be looking at me. I'm not that interesting. It is more likely that they are staring at Cassie, she looks pretty good today in her cute red pleated dress and sleek ponytail. I conclude that they are not looking at

Roman's POVIt's lunch period and I'm in the cafeteria eating and chatting with my guys. While everyone else is eating food gotten from the cafeteria menu, I'm eating specially packed lunch one of my chefs prepared for me this morning.If I was anyone else, I would get laughed at and ridiculed for bringing my own food like a kid but my friends know better than to mock Roman Masters. I'm a picky eater and in many circumstances, I can't eat food unless I know who prepared it. Apart from this, I wouldn't trust the school cafeteria kitchens to be one hundred percent hygienic. I'm picking at my basmati rice and curry flavor chicken stew meal and laughing at a joke one of my guys, Tommy, is telling when my cousin approaches with a terse expression I easily recognise as worried. "What's going on?" I ask Robyn as she reaches my table and stands tensely beside me. She doesn't even spare my guys a glance when a number of them try to get her attention, so I know whatever is going must be serio

Roman offers to take me home and I agree. I'm not one to skip school or classes usually, but I can't bear to go back and face everyone. By now I'm sure the rumors have spread to unimaginable lengths even the school staff could have heard about it.I'm tired. I'm so tired. My expression must convey the sudden weakness I feel inside because Roman puts his arm over my back and helps me out of the stall.The moment we step out we are met by a girl who is washing her hands in one of the sink basin in front of the mirror on the wall. She sees Roman behind me from the mirror and lets out a fearful yell."Ahh!" She lets out in shock at having a guy coming out of a stall in the girls toilets.I fidget, not knowing how to explain the situation. She probably thinks we were doing something outrageous like making out or even having sex in the stall and because I don't need any more stains on my reputation, I open my mouth to explain.Roman uncaringly pulls me away, stopping any words from coming o

When we get to Roman's house, he parks in the garage. From what I can see from the tinted car window, the garage like the last time I was here is filled with dozens of luxurious cars. Roman steps down from the car and goes around from the driver side to the passenger side to open my door for me. He's so gentlemanly sometimes it's like he is a whole different person when he is not being his usual annoying smirking self. I climb down from the car and I am lost for some seconds staring at the exotic vehicles. Roman who doesn't notice my bewildered state places his hand on the small of my back and leads me on to the main house. As we enter the largely intimidating sitting room, I hesitate and Roman notices. "What's wrong, Cookie?" He asks me, calmly. "Uh..." I mumble, unsure of how to explain my reluctance. Roman, who is impatient standing awkwardly beside me in his own home, rolls his eyes at me and pulls me inside regardless. I drag my feet behind him. "Roman, is anyone el

Roman’s POVI have decided to have the talk with my father today. No more postponing, no more hesitating. I’m damn tired of not being able to bring my girl over to my house because she is afraid of my father.I walk over to my father’s office and knock once, then twice. I’ll knock a million times until he lets me in, I know he is inside.“Come in, son” I hear him call out.I chuckle as I twist the handle and step in. He knows it was me just because no one else would ever interrupt him in his office. No one but me.My father sits behind his expensive mahogany desk in his huge as hell office. I hardly come here unless when absolutely necessary, like today. It reminds me of my future, that one day I will likely become a workaholic like him, spending nearly every hour, alone and working.“Father” I say in greeting. I always call him father, never dad for many years and we’re both used to it now.He points at the chair in front of his desk for me to take a seat and I do.I don’t waste a mom

Roman’s POVI search for Lindsey all around and everywhere on school grounds but I can’t find her. I ask our friends and her brother but none has seen her since classes before lunch and because I don’t want anyone being privy to our private business and I know how private Lindsey is, I don’t tell them what’s happened.I want to go straight to her house and console her and fix this problem but there is still one last thing for me to settle.It is time for Rixon High athletes to train so I know where he must be at, being captain of the basketball team. I walk straight to the basketball court and when I open the double doors and enter inside, I see him. Going about his life like he didn’t just play a major role in a pathetic plan to ruin my relationship.

CHAPTERRoman’s POVI’m on my way to the cafeteria after class to meet up with Lindsey when one of the janitors walks up to me and tells me that my girlfriend instructed him to find me and tell me to come help her out in the library because she is not feeling well.I give him a look of suspicion but consider his words, although I texted Lindsey to meet me at the cafeteria after her test she never responded. While I had concluded it was because she was in class it could be something else.Maybe something went wrong and she went to the library instead.I’m filled with worry that I don’t interrogate the janitor further but instead take a different turn to lead me to the library.When I get to the library, I realize I don’t even know exactly where Lindsey is at because the library is so huge. I consider calling her to ask but decide to check the literature section first, she is likely to be there because it is her favorite section in the library.I get there and in fact there is a girl th

Lindsey’s POVI am walking to the cafeteria alone after writing one of the most difficult tests I’ve ever written when Collins approaches me.“Hey pretty” He greets with his signature boyish smile.I smile back but my smile is a bit restrained. I know how Roman feels about Collins and I together, even though I don’t know why as I consider Collins a good friend, but I don’t want to do anything that’ll annoy Roman so I keep my distance.“Hey Collins” I respond and he comes and stands in front of me.“I need your help with something” He tells me.I’m confused as I don’t know what I could possibly help him with but I nod, urging him to go ahead and ask.He does, “I’ve been searching for an important textbook in the library for a while now and I’ve not been able to find it, can you come and help me check?”What? I give him a look of confusion. Is he joking? He must be. I laugh a bit just in case then reply, “There are librarians in the library, Collins” I mention the obvious.He grins but

On Monday after Christmas break, I drive my new new car to school. For the first time in months, I’m alone in a car. I’m driving myself rather than getting driven around like an invalid and it’s all thanks to Roman.Just like he had told me, he spoke to my mom and yesterday she even took me to shop for car accessories for my new car. Since I no longer have to worry about her feeling some type of way about Roman buying me a car, I enjoy the feeling of driving the sleekest car I have ever been in, except for Roman’s cars.When I get to school, I park my car and from the tinted glass of the windshield and windows, I can already see the students of Rixon High surrounding me, wondering who is in the car. Nearly everyone knows what everyone drives and so, a brand new expensive car such as this is bound to draw some attention.I should’ve made Roman come with me for the first day but I’m a big girl and I thought I could handle all the looks and whispers on my own.When I open my door and exi

My hand holding my phone shakes as I find Roman’s contact to call him. As my finger rests about an inch away from dialing Roman, I hesitate.I don’t know how to do it, not call him but tell him I’m refusing his gift. Even though I told mom that I’m not rejecting the gift because of her, I think I was lying. A brand new Mercedes Benz car that looks like that must cost a lot, too much. But, the thought of finally owning my own car after always having to beg Leo and ask Cassie for rides all the time feels so good. Sadly I can’t keep it. I harden my mind and call Roman. He answers on the first ring as if he has been waiting for me to call. “Do you like your car?” Is the first thing he says to me. He sounds so anxious like he can’t wait for my answer and hopes I say yes. “I… I do” I answer after a moment of hesitation. I hear Roman breath out with relief. “Thank God. I was getting worried that you didn’t like it, babe” My throat hurts as I force out the words I know he wouldn’t li

Lindsey’s POVOn the morning of my birthday, I wake up feeling all sorts of special. The night before, I had gotten both Christmas and birthday gifts from my mom, Leo and my friends. Leo had gotten his as well but I’m already used to sharing my birthdays with him. I gave him his gift as well. Last night, after I had unwrapped all my gifts, Roman had taken me out to dinner and while he didn’t say specifically that he was taking me out because of my birthday, I assume it was my birthday present. I loved it because the food was awesome and the company, his presence, was even better. I rise from my bed and do a little twirling on the floor, I’m just so happy. My mom yells my name from downstairs and when I quickly rush down, I see mine and Leo’s birthday cake ready with candles on the dinning table.I smile at the sight. It has always been a tradition for as long as I can remember. Mom always bakes a blue and a pink cake for Leo and I for our birthdays, the pink one for me and the blu

I turn to my cousin with a frustrated and doubt filled look. Damon raises an eyebrow at my facial expression. “Do you want my help or not?” I grunt, “Yeah I do. What type of car do you think I should get for her?” I ask him hopelessly. Damon shrugs, “A lambo or something” He replies. My jaw drops in shock, “A Lamborghini? Are you insane!?” My cousin snorts, “Don’t tell me you think it’s too expensive, she is your girlfriend whom I know you love so don’t tell me you’re deciding to be stingy with her gift” I ignore him saying I’m in love with Lindsey, I am but I’ve never told him or anyone, I haven’t even said the word to Lindsey and I should, I plan to tell her on her birthday, but that is not the point of my conversation with Damon right now. A lambo? I’m groan out, “Please where is Cassie and Robyn? I need them back.” I shake my head in exhaustion. Damon gives me a glare for doubting the reasonability of his idea which is an absolutely ridiculous idea. “Call Cassie and ask h

Roman’s POVIt is a few days to Christmas and even fewer to Lindsey’s eighteenth birthday. I have been in a bind all week contemplating a birthday gift for her. I have even brought in Damon, Robyn and Cassie to help me out with ideas and while they have tried by presenting me with numerous options, I’m not satisfied. I’m not very good at gift giving. Having so much money usually means I buy the most expensive things for my friends and family as gifts, but with Lindsey I can not exercise the same level of indifference or carefree attitude. I want to get her a birthday gift that… has meaning. Being with Lindsey Jordan has changed me. She has shown me that money isn’t everything, I mean I always knew that but now I have lived it. The picnic date she had organized for me the night before my birthday as my birthday gift sure didn’t cost anything close to a thousand dollars if I were to wager a guess, but I wasn’t lying when I told her it was the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten.
