Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 25 "Confession"
Ryan’s POV When I woke up, I went to the garden to breathe some fresh air.Somehow, I couldn’t erase the things that happened to me yesterday.Vincent caught me hanging inside Slyvester’s room.“I hope he wouldn’t misunderstand it,” I said with a sigh.Wishing that everything would be okay, I looked up at the blue sky and the blackbird flying into the air.My class will start at 11 am. So, I still have a lot of time to waste.While getting the vitamin D that I need, someone from behind covered my eyes with his hands. Is something trying to make a joke at me early in the morning?I am already not in the mood!“Whoever it is, stop it. I am not in the mood to joke around,” I said.“Guess who~,” he said with a voice that does not sound familiar.Basically, the man behind me purposely changed his voice. ‘Who could it be?’ If he is Chaylen, I will kick him right away.Terban won’t do something so cheesy as this.I couldn’t imagine Vince doing this either.Then, is it Kyle?“Is that

It was shining brightly for a moment. But the sky darkened and the scent of the air changed. The rain will pour down soon. Thus, Ryan didn’t forget to bring her umbrella before going out of the house.Just like her, Kyle went out with an umbrella too.Light shower blessed the land.Pit-a-pat.Pit-a-pat.Kyle looked at Ryan from afar and remembered the first time they met each other. It was also raining that day.He took a sharp breath before Kyle called the lady.“Ryan!”However, the absent-minded lady didn’t look back.Thinking that his voice wasn’t enough for Ryan to hear, Kyle shouted again.“Ryan!”Oddly, Ryan’s head only looked at her North.“But the rain is not that heavy,” Kyle murmured. He decided to run towards her while holding his umbrella.When he reached her side, he called her, “Hey.”Finally, he caught her attention.“Oh, hi, Kyle,” Ryan responded.“What’s wrong? You are red.”Ryan only blinked her eyes.It’s not that she didn’t hear Kyle again. She was still in dilemm

“I’ll take you to the school. Hop in!” Terban said while pointing to the passenger seat. The rain stopped pouring.Ryan looked up wondering how long she’s been standing there that she didn’t notice that the rain stopped. She closed the umbrella and carefully breathed out.‘Kyle confessed to me. He did.’ The fact couldn’t process inside her head. Nevertheless, seeing a grumpy guy like Terban comforted Ryan.She didn’t expect that looking at a guy she always fights with would be this comforting.“Are you going to stay there forever?” Terban asked. “Come quick, or I will drag you in.”Even if they fixed their relationship after getting to know each other, Ryan and Terban still fought each other from time to time. It was hard for Terban to get rid of his grumpy attitude.“If someone hears you right now, he might think that you came here to kidnap me,” Ryan commented.She hopped inside his car and buckled the seatbelt.“I would love to hit you right now. Be thankful that you are Terban

Chaylen was waiting outside the Campus gate while holding a red umbrella.A lady gave the umbrella to him, and she left a note for him.[“You are my type. Here is my number XXXXXXXXXX. Call me~”] The woman who gave it to him was sexy and pretty. If Chaylen is still the old Chaylen, he would call the lady right away and take her to a hotel.But Chaylen right now has no interest in other women anymore.‘It is your fault, Ryan,’ he blamed the woman he saw from afar.Saw from afar?Chaylen narrowed his eyes at the car that parked just now. Inside the car, he saw Ryan together with Terban.Chaylen rarely met Ryan before because she was busy with her thesis. As for Chaylen, his teammate promised to do his thesis for him. The reason? Because he’s handsome. Now that Ryan finished her thesis, Chaylen thought of seeing her. However, he wasn’t fine seeing her together with another man.“Why are they together? That’s an odd pair,” Chaylen said.He was about to run to Terban’s car. But the rai

There was a miracle when the five men sat around a table for breakfast.It was a very rare occasion since they are so different from each other.“After decades, we will have breakfast together. I feel so damn touched, guys,” Chaylen gave excessive praise as he hugged himself. He’s a great flirt.“Yey!” Sylvester joined Chaylen..Kyle stared at the two childish men. “There are times I feel second-hand embarrassment just by looking at the two of you. Count one today,” he commented before he massaged his aching temples.Vincent supported Kyle’s idea. “Handling just one Sylvester was a pain in the ass. What’s more when an annoying like Chaylen was added to the group.”Diverting his eyes to Terban, Vincent crossed his arms and lifted his chin.“But you’re still the number one bastard,” Vincent added while staring at Terban.“I am trying to stay quiet here,” Terban rebuked and glared. “I am not in the mood to throw curses at you, so shut up.”“Sylvester, it’s time to choose a side,” Chayle
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 29.2 "Gate of Death"
Ryan’s POV“Are you sure it wasn’t you who spread the rumors?” I asked Emily while leaning my head on the table.“Why would I share the blessings? I would like to keep the secret with me and enjoy the paradise of seeing handsome and rich men in that boarding house,” Emily answered.I asked her the question not because I really do believe that she stabbed me from behind. I was narrowing down the possible people who started this. “I think it is one of the two girls you brought into the house. Do you want me to confront them and pull their hair out?” Emily offered.Well, if it is Emily, it is possible.Seeing her reaction, I realized that ignoring the rumors is the best action.“Forget it,” I said. “The situation settled down. Everyone will forget this sooner or later.”“That’s the problem with you. You are too…”“Kind?”“No. Too idiot.”When she dissed me, I felt more comforted.I shook my head and just laughed.“Why are you laughing, you crazy psycho,” she said before eating her Che*
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 30.1 "Five Beasts Around the Lamb"
It was still early evening.Inside the boarding house, Terban was standing near the entrance of the boarding house. He was leaning on the door sill while checking his wristwatch from time to time.Kyle was sitting on the couch while reading a thick book. But he wasn’t really paying attention to the biology book he was holding. It was only an accessory.On the other couch, Vincent and Chaylen were sitting next to each other. Vincent was holding a guitar, while Chaylen was listening to him.When Vincent finished playing, Chaylen gave him two thumbs up.“You play so well,” Chaylen praised Vincent for playing guitar. “Can you play ‘I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably crying forever’?”“Idiot. The right title is ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk About It’,” Vincent corrected. Chaylen waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about the right title. As long as you get it. So, can you play it?” He even blinked his eyes, imitating a puppy.Seeing his expression annoyed Vincent even more.“I don’t
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 30.2 "First Experiment"
Ryan’s POVEmily told me to start experimenting to know what I truly feel.That is by looking at those five men as guys.Thus, when I saw Sylvester waving his hand from afar, I realized that the experiment had started. “Ryan, why are you so late? I walked out and looked for you because I miss you,” Sylvester said after running toward my side.I looked at Sylvester’s face and began to appreciate his looks.He had clean-cut dark blue hair when I first saw him. But his hair went longer, so he has long side bangs. I couldn’t see his dark and straight brows.Under the streetlamp, his narrow but bright eyes were shining. Sylvester’s nose was so sharp that it could cut an onion. And his smile? Still captivating. Just looking at it made me feel refreshed. I held my chest to check my pulse.‘My heart beats normally.’ “Why are you looking at me like that? You were observing me too much. Do I have a booger?” he asked, which made me calmer.“Sylvester, I am not comfortable until now,” I co

Living with the Five Billionaires Epilogue three "FlashBack On Her Wedding Day"
“I declare you husband and wife!” The officiant pronounced Slyvester and Ryan as husband and wife, prompting a round of enthusiastic applause from the wedding guests. However, Slyvester's gaze remained fixed on his stunning bride, oblivious to the commotion. At that moment, Slyvester desired a lifetime of happiness with Ryan and possibly starting a family with her. While it is often said that men shed tears of joy during such occasions, Slyvester was too overjoyed to cry. Perhaps Ryan's parents cried enough for both of them, especially since Slyvester had once posed as a woman to deceive them. Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Mcguffin had forgiven him and moved on from the past. "So, we're a married couple now," Ryan said excitedly. “Hmmm, we are,” Slyvester mumbled. He cupped her cheeks and leaned his forehead on hers. "Kiss her! Kiss her!” The wedding guests scream. This won't be their first kiss. Before and while they were dating, Slyvester had already kissed his girlfriend a l
Living with the Five Billionaires Epilogue two "Living with the Five Billionaires"
Ryan was an aspiring author who dreamed of publishing a book to hook readers. That's why, even though the readers from online reading sites were few, she kept publishing different stories.Of course, popular books are consistently rated 18. Ryan didn't have the guts to try it, so she stuck writing innocent comedy and romance genres. However, she wasn't lucky enough to get her break. Sitting in front of the laptop, Ryan read one of the comments from her book."The author narrates well, but the plot is too cliche. Then the event is not realistic either."Ryan felt sad while reading the comments. She took a deep breath and leaned her back against the office chair. She wiped her eyes under her rounded glasses. She looked again at the comments, where only a few had positive feedback."Maybe writing is not my line," said the woman who had just passed the boarding exam.Even though she took an engineering course in college, she didn't want to let go of her dream of becoming a writer and be
Living with the Five Billionaires Epilogue one "Eight Years After"

As he walked in, he spotted Ryan descending the stairs with a large suitcase.Slyvester's heart shattered upon realizing that Terban’s words were valid - the woman he loved was leaving without a word to him.

Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 93 "Competitors and Friends"
Four men were gathered in front of a large gate. While other students were studying inside the library or in their rooms, Kyle, Chaylen, Vincent, and Terban waited outside Slyvester's house."Woah. Slyvester’s house is big,” Chaylen expressed, surprised at the grandeur house in front of them. “He acts like a beggar in the boarding house; I did not expect that he is actually rich,” he added.Terban looked at the house casually and asked, "So, how do we get in?""We're going to throw you over the gate," Vincent replied.Terban quickly retorted, “We can use the doorbell, you dumbass.”“Why ask if you knew the answer? Idiot,” Vincent said.The two looked at each other, and an invisible lightning spark formed between them."Aren't you tired of fighting?" Chaylen commented sympathetically as he watched the two men, who seemed like dogs and cats. "You fought so many times; you can list yourself to the Genius World Book of Record."Terban and Vincent both frowned. Their eyes slowly moved towa
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 92 "Father and Son"
Yhlei looked outside the car window and recalled what happened last night.Last night, Slyvester came home drunk. His face was red, and he could not look straight. The drunken man, who almost stumbled, greeted his mother with a smile.“Hello, Mom. Where’s Dad?” Right at that time, his dad walked down the stairway. Far away, he could already smell the pungent smell of the alcohol. "You're drunk? You came home late at night and drunk?" Yhlei's face was full of disappointment. The first thing that came to his mind was his son's reputation. Slyvester can be the new successor of Ixumi Corporation. But he walked down the road swaying and unstable? What if he did some embarrassing things on the way home?"Dad," Slyvester called him. Suddenly, Slyvester knelt in front of his father. His dad, his mom, and Ran, who was unexpectedly present at that time, had their eyes wide open. "I did everything you wanted," said the Slyvester. "What to wear, what to behave, the people I should be frie
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 91 "The Party is Over"
Kyle, Chaylen, and Emily exchanged perplexed glances as they beheld Sylvester, who was standing motionless in front of the cabinet. Their view was obstructed, so they couldn't discern what had seized his attention. Meanwhile, within the cabinet, Terban and Ryan were frozen in silence, incapable of uttering a word, moving a muscle, or even drawing breath. They knew full well that this would only lead to further misunderstandings.And then…“F*ck it!” Sylvester let out a string of expletives before wrenching open the cabinet once more and yanking Ryan's wrist out forcefully.“Ahh!” Ryan winced in agony from the sudden movement, realizing that Sylvester was livid.Terban observed Sylvester's tight grip on Ryan's hand and understood why he was so incensed. He knew that he would feel the same way if he were in Sylvester's shoes. However, he couldn't help but feel vexed as he watched Sylvester haul Ryan away. "S- Slyvester," Ryan called him while wincing. Only then did the three underst

Slyvester wanted to call Ryan, knowing he would seek comfort with her. However, he received a text from his cousin, asking him if he would attend their gathering, and that was only when Slyvester recalled that he planned with his relatives that day. His cousins were asking about Slyvester’s girlfriend enthusiastically, as if finding fault they could use against Slyvester. Fully aware of this ill intention, Slyvester meets them and warns them not to touch Ryan. Slyvester knew his cousins would never waste a chance to defeat him for Ixumi's inheritance.‘After I settled everything, I’ll return to the boarding house as a happy Slyvester,’ he promised himself.Slyvester grew up sociable because he missed the happy company of the first people around.

Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 90.1 "Hide but SEEK"
Third Person's POVAfter taking a break to eat and rest, Chaylen suggested playing a game. Initially, Terban and Vincent were hesitant, feeling too old to play games. However, they eventually joined in, becoming quite competitive and not wanting to lose.Chaylen had created a unique game just to spend more time with Ryan - hide and seek.“Hide and seek? Are you sane? We are too old for that,” Terban expressed his disbelief.But Chaylen explained, “Why not? The boarding house was big enough for the game to work well.”Aside from that, Chaylen believed that game would allow him to take Ryan to a quiet spot and talk to her in private. It was a selfish wish from a heartbroken guy who wanted to spend a lovely time with his first love.“Childish game suits you so much, Chaylen,” Vincent complained, but still, he was willing to participate.“There are seven of us,” Emily said, ignoring Vincent and Terban’s complaints. “We should group ourselves into two! Whoever doesn’t have a partner will
