Hating the Billionaire Heir Chapter One Hundred-Fifteen
On Monday the next week, I’m seating in English class with Cassie beside me. We are waiting for Mr Daniels our English teacher to come in.On the drive to school in Cassie’s car, she had given me the rundown of what happened during Roman’s birthday party last Friday after I had left.“Rich people are crazy, Lin. Like really crazy” Cassie had exclaimed to me. “What do you mean?” I had asked her, Cassie is prone to exaggerations. “After you left Roman’s birthday party, they did some sort of gift giving to your boyfriend” Cassie starts. I act interested but deep down I’m focused on her use of the word ‘boyfriend’, after our fight that night, I know for a fact Roman and I have hit a speed bump in our relationship that won’t be going away very easily. I don’t try to correct her however, I simply nod for her to continue on with her story telling. She does. “It was insane, like millions of dollars worth of gifts were given to Roman, it was like we had magically entered into an auction fo

Everyone in class is bewildered about what just occurred. Cassie looks at me like I have the answer, which I do. Roman is jealous from seeing me and Collins together.It pisses me off. How dare he insinuate I belong to him after what happened just this past weekend? I left his house in tears during his birthday party and he didn’t even come after me.I’m suddenly angry as well and I grab my things and walk out the door. Like hell if I’m going to just let him react like he owns me. I belong to no one but myself.Mr Daniel’s doesn’t even try to stop me as I leave, I notice whenever a matter concerns Roman, neither he nor the other staff put in much effort, it’s futile anyway.I follow Roman’s back as he walks the hallway in long strides. He keeps going until we are both outside and he walks the parking lot likely going to where he parked his car. He walks so fast I might miss him if he reaches his car. So I call out,“Roman!”Immediately he stops. He waits with his back to me, his shoul

During lunch, Cassie keeps disturbing me to tell her about whatever it is that happened between Roman and I. “I don’t really want to talk about it right now, Cas” I complain.Cassie rolls her eyes in exasperation, “I think you should talk about it. Maybe if you tell me and I tell you what I think you about the whole situation, you just might realize whatever Roman did to offend you isn’t really that bad after all” Cassie argues. “So, what did he do? And I’m guessing it must have been during his party when you left. I’m also guessing your sudden illness that night was all a lie?” Cassie asks the question but it’s more like a statement. I avoid her gaze and let out a weary exhale. She is not going to give up on this so I might as well tell her and get it over with. “We had an argument about something and I left because I was heartbroken and angry” I summarize. Cassie shoots me a blank stare, “you’re kidding right? What the hell type of vague explanation is that?” “Let’s just s

The next day, I prepare for school with a mission. Operation forget Roman Masters is on the go.I inform Cassie of my plan to disensitize myself about all matters concerning Roman by implementing a strict avoidance of all conversations about him, no looking at him, I even deleted his contact number from my phone, childish yeah but I’m desperate here. “I don’t think your plan will work” Cassie announces on our way to our history classroom. I glare at her, “I need you in my side here, Cas” I tell her. She snorts. “I am on your side but I wouldn’t be a very good friend if I didn’t tell you the truth” I release an annoyed breath. “Then don’t tell me the truth. Lie” I mutter under my breath as we take our seats. Cassie laughs at me, “Lie? Okay, the plan is certainly not going to work. You’re not even being honest. Honesty is the best policy, Lin.” I look around, wishing I sat away from her today, thankfully Roman isn’t in class yet so I don’t have to be afraid of seeing his handso

Robyn, Cassie and I are in Cassie’s house discussing random things. Usually we would be at my house, but Leo has a bunch of his annoying friends over so we won’t have our desired quiet girls time- or at Robyn’s house but I’ve been avoiding all things Roman Masters and his place of habitation is at the top of the list, seconded only by his beautiful blue eyes etched on his perfect face which I have warned myself not to even glance at in school or anywhere else we might run into each other, not accidentally or intentionally. I’ve not succeeded that well so far because he is just too infuriatingly captivating but going to his home? That I can avoid. While Robyn is on a call arguing with her personal shopper about the size of Louis Vuitton purse she wants, Cassie and I are going through our social media, actually correction, I am flipping through my TikTok while Cassie is stalking the profiles of every girl that liked and commented on Case’s last post on instagram. “You are beginning

The entire senior year student body is buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm at our upcoming trip to Connecticut. It is a week to the trip now and everything has been confirmed. Parents have been told and their required approval for the two days away trip has been signed and submitted to our principal. At the moment, I, Cassie, Robyn and Ruth, a girl we are friends with although we aren’t close enough for her to be a part of our little trio, are heading to the basketball court where we have been instructed to go to, because Mr Kevin our history teacher and our principal want to address us all. We arrive at the basketball court together with a wave of other students. Everyone goes around getting seats for themselves in the bleachers and we do the same, opting to see together- like we always do. Not too long after everyone has seated themselves, a janitor carries in a dramatic podium and microphone stand to the center of the court, I just know our principal asked him to do that.

I step out of the girls bathroom after pulling myself together, washing my face and giving myself a pep talk. Honestly, I’m in disbelief. After the initial announce made by Mr Kevin last week in history class about our senior year trip to Connecticut to visit the Connecticut Museum if Culture and History, I thought things were beginning to come together for me. I had started to believe that, indeed my life isn’t over just because I’m going through a bad breakup. But now, this news about the trip not happening anymore is like a reality check slap to the face.I can’t talk about it with Cassie because she didn’t really care much for it in the first place and Robyn was already searching for a way out because she is not a fan of the Connecticut as a whole, but me, I was really hopeful about it. Like, I want to go there so badly that I would be willing to break open my college savings and fund my fare myself, but alas, I am not the only one concerned and no one else is interested enoug

The hallways are empty, everyone else is in class and the privacy gives me the opportunity and freedom to cry ugly, sobbing, loud, gut wrenching tears. I would balk at my dramatics but the tears I’ve been withholding for weeks all chose to come out to play today for some reason and I have no choice but to just let it out.“I’m so sad, Roman…” I sob out the words like he can fix it. He stays silent but I still feel his big palm gliding over my body. He doesn’t need to say a word, his presence is more than fine. His nearness alone is more comfort that anyone else could offer me. How and when did I get this addicted to him? I don’t know how long we remain like this, me lightly sobbing and him holding me. It could have been mere seconds, or minutes or even an hour but I’m not so good with time when he is near, usually hours go by like seconds when I have him with me. This time is no different. Finally, we break apart from the tight hold we have on each other. I keep my gaze down,

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

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.
