Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 40 "The Five Guys Had a Meeting"
Third Person’s POV “Slyvester, are you still mad at me?” The wind blew. Ryan found it intoxicating that the wind always blows at crucial times. Is this the law of romance? She always sees this scene in the dramas she watched before. “Sorry,” Slyvester said as he looked away. There was a stitching pain as Ryan ogled his handsome side profile. If there’s one person who should apologize, Ryan thought it should be her. “You’re not wrong for asking about Nikki. It was not out of line. I overreacted, and I think I should apologize for being so immature.” Ryan bit her lower lip. She looked above. There was no moon and stars above. ‘At least there is no always pretty moon and stars in romance,’ Ryan laughed at this inwardly before she parted her lips and responded. “No. Actually, after some thinking, I realized I was wrong at some part. Sorry, Slyv.” “Hmmm.” The two of them walked forward while watching Chaylen chase after Vincent. They weren’t finished yet. They didn’t talk afte
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 41 "Asking Her For a Date"
Terban saw a dinosaur. The predator slumped over him, he kicked it away but it was too heavy. To get away, Terban but the leg of the dinosaur.“Ahhhh!” the dinosaur growled in pain.The window of Terban’s eyes flung open. He was wet with sweat as he looked around him. It took him seconds to figure out that everything about the green dinosaur was only a part of his dream. But just like in his dream, he could taste salty flesh in his mouth.'What's in my mouth?'His heart pounded while he looked down, and then he caught himself biting Chaylen’s feet, which were leaning on his face.“G*DD*MNSH*T!” he cursed before pushing Chaylen’s feet. Swiftly, the pale Terban sat up as he covered his infected mouth.“Hmmmm,” Chaylen groaned, scratching his tummy while sleeping.Terban’s head was swirling. He was so curious about how much he had drunk last night that he ended up sleeping next to Chaylen in the boarding house’s living room.Nope. He’s wrong. It’s not only Chaylen.Vincent was sleeping o
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 42 "Stop Meddling"
[“But ironically, you’re prettier. In my eyes, you are always pretty even if you’re wearing a rag. That’s how love works, idiot.”] Those words rang in Ryan’s ears even after they entered the restaurant. From the back, she glanced at her childhood sweetheart. ‘It was so hard to get used to his sweet behavior,’ she protested. Taking a deep breath, Ryan looked at the huge menu folder in front of her. When she saw the prices of the food, her eyes blinked simultaneously. ‘Is he telling me that we will spend $100 for one dish? That’s insane!’ Slowly, she peeked at Terban. ‘Well, he’s rich. Ordering expensive food is fine.’ “Did you make a choice?” Terban asked, flipping the menu. “Not yet. Since this is your treat, I have to choose well.” “Why? You’re worried that I’d spend a lot? Don’t pick the lowest price.” “Who said I would? I am actually searching for the most expensive food.” Terban’s hands clutched tightly around the menu folder. His doubtful eyes gawked at his date. ‘
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 43 "Reading My Intention Right"
Ryan’s POV When Slyvester approached us, the only thought I had been to get out of the place ASAP. I could not look straight into Slyvester, nor remembered what he and Terban talked about in the process. Then Terban pulled me out of the restaurant. Arriving outside felt as if the thorn in my throat was pulled out. Yet, I was guilty of acting oddly and of creating a ruckus. “I am sorry,” I said with a sigh. Terban stopped walking and looked at me. I could not lift my head to face him though. “Because of me, we couldn’t eat. Let’s look for another place. I will pay this time.” “No. Let’s just go back home.” ‘Is he sulky?’ I lifted my head to see if he was really sulky. But he was not. Rather, Terban was so mad. His sharp eyes made my palms clammy. He was jutting his jaws while his brows met in the middle of his forehead. He was angry and disappointed in me; I could tell that. “I took you out to enjoy,” he murmured, “Well, it looks like you won’t enjoy it. At the end of the
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 44 "Discoveries"
Ryan’s POV In my deep sleep, I heard my phone ringing. ‘Who the hell is calling at this hour?!’ I picked up my phone from the side and answered the call. “Who the f*ck is this? I am still dreaming about chocolate and…” [“Don’t tell me you forgot our date today, Miss Mcguffin?”] My eyes flung wide open. I sat up, checked my phone screen and saw “Slyvester’s name”. ‘Oh sh*t.’ “Slyvester! I am sorry. Am I late, I will…” I stopped talking when I saw the time from the clock on my table. ‘It’s 5 a.m.’ “Slyvester, it’s 5 a.m.” [“Yup. And the first course on our date will start at 5 a.m. I will be waiting for you outside the boarding house. See ya!”] Tut tut tut… “That damn man is crazy.” I prepared myself in haste. And look what I found when I looked in the mirror! I have a pimple on my left cheek! “What the hell!” Pimple really knows when to appear. The rule was to appear on the most special day. Darn it. “Should I put a band-aid on it?” After a quick make-over
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 45 "Cliche Date with Unpredictable Man"
Third Person's POV“Tada! The sea is so beautiful, right?!”The cliché date starts with seeing the ocean early in the morning. Ryan thought that the unexpected Slyvester would choose another route. But just like the date she always saw on television; Slyvester brought her to the seaside.‘I just got goosebumps after guessing it right,’ Ryan murmured inside her head, caressing her arms.She looked at the guy who was raising his arms while looking at the sea.‘At least this is better than visiting a volcano and bungee jumping on the crate with an adventurous guy like Slyvester.’ She sighed as she shook her head.Even if the setting was cliché, Ryan should not forget that she came here with Slyvester. “The sun’s about to rise, dude,” Ryan said while looking at the sky.“Right. It will come out,” Slyvester said before holding her hand. Surprised at the sudden contact, Ryan looked at their hands.Yes, they are on a date.But holding each other’s hand when they still don’t have a lab
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 46 "Pretending as Couple"
“I feel so full. That was the best breakfast ever! Right?” Slyvester said to Ryan as they walked out together from the restaurant. “I agree that they have delicious food. But the best breakfast? You always said that every single day, Slyv.” A food lover like Slyv only chuckled. When he looked back at Ryan, he only noticed the bandaid on her left cheek. “Why do you have bandaid on your cheek? Something happened?” He raised his hand, but Ryan moved backward before Slyvester could touch the bandaid. “T-This is nothing,” Ryan, who wanted to hide her pimple from Slyvester, lied. When she turned her head away, she saw a couple walking toward the parking lot. They were clinging to each other, whispering sweet words. “Baby, are you a sugar?” the man asked his girlfriend. “Sugar? Why?” “Because you’re the only thing that could make my life so sweet.” The girl hit his shoulder while giggling. Slyvester and Ryan blinked their eyes. They both caressed their arms, and crept out.
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 47 "Playing but Seriously"
Looking outside the lifting cubicle, Slyvester was in a foul mood. “Look! People are getting smaller! Wow!” the boy gasped while looking down. Slyvester stared at the boy. ‘If not because of this boy, it should be Ryan and me together.’ He felt so bad that the romantic ride on the Ferris Wheel turned out to be babysitting a boy he doesn’t even know. “Can I ask something?” the boy mumbled while looking through the glass window. “What?” Slyvester answered with a flat voice. “Are you and that lady’s boyfriend?” Slyvester suddenly thought that this boy was cute. “Do we look like a couple?” smiling, he responded. “No. You don’t look good together.” ‘Nope. He’s not cute at all,’ Slyvester changed his mind. “That was so adorable, kiddo,” Slyvester said while pinching his cheek. “Ahh! That hurts!” The kid complained, holding his reddened cheeks. ‘Terban isn’t here, but I could see his soul through this boy,’ Slyvester thought while faking a smile. “That’s not cool, bro. You kep

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

He dreaded returning home without the woman he adored.Slyvester entered the house, struggling to catch his breath and with his heart racing. 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. He couldn't fathom how Ryan could simply depart without speaking to them. He couldn't help but imagine how worse it would have been if Terban hadn't informed him.Although seething with anger, Slyvester knew he could never stay mad at the woman he loved.Ryan was surprised and taken aback by Sylvester's sudden outburst. She was unsure how to respond as Sylvester cried, "Are you really going to leave without talking to me."Ryan had thought that Sylvester would be the first one who wanted Ryan to lea
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
Living with the Five Billionaires Chapter 90.2 "Boyfriend's Anxiousness"
A day ago, before the farewell party…After Slyvester had a heated argument with his father, he went somewhere to calm himself down. 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
