The Billionaire CEO Returns to College Chapter 107
Faith was wolfing down her breakfast at an alarming rate because if she didn't, the three soldiers standing in front of her with folded arms and squinted eyes would drag her off without breakfast.Faith chuckled. "You guys are making me uncomfortable. I'll choke on my food at this rate if you keep looking at me like that."The only response from her three senrtires were deeper frowns. Faith looked over at Paul and rolled her eyes. "You would think I stole the Mona Lisa."He laugned. "I guess as far as they're concerned, if they don't get that ride, you're just as guilty as someone who stole the Mona Lisa."To the kids he said, "Guys, sit down. One would think you've never ridden in a car before."Kaylee scowled. "Eric Paul's cousin's truck doesn't count!""Faith's car is so much cooler," Toby gushed."You should see one of Devlin's cars," Faith murmured but the sharp-eared kids still heard."Who is Devlin?" Kaylee demanded."No one," Faith answered quickly, too quickly."I bet it's th

"Hi, Faith," Devlin called carefully, shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot.All thoughts flew out of her head in that moment. Devlin looked uncomfortably, as he well should. He looked so out of place standing in the dingy restaurant in the middle of nowhere in designer head to toe.As always, his presence was like a blow to the gut for Faith. He looked good; good enough to eat in a casual flower patterned shirt and black pants. A pair of black shades hung casually from his shirt."Wow, yes, who is that?" She heard May repeat. "Is that your rich boyfriend? Damn, he's hot. Now that is no old man!""Oh my gosh, is that truly your boyfriend, Faith?" Kaylee asked excitedly."That is..." The words hung on her tongue. She wasn't thinking straight. No, she wasn't thinking at all. It was like her brain went on holiday the moment she saw him at that door.Kaylee didn't wait for her answer though. With a squeal, she ran straight up to Devlin and asked him directly, "At you Faith's mega rich

Devlin prepared himself to begin to speak. Right before Faith's eyes, she saw him transform. A shadow fell across his face, grief entered into his eyes and his shoulders hung down as though being crushed by a heavy weight.Immediately, Faith remembered that she'd seen this before...this man...this version of Devlin. He look older, greyer, more frail. This was a man wrecked with grief and with a start, she realized that this man had always been there under the shadows, lurking and waiting.For every smile and every happy moment she'd had with Devlin, this grief-stricken man was watching, crying beneath the mask.Even without hearing what he had to say yet, Faith's eyes began to water. She fought the urge to pull him into her arms and hug him, to tell him that he was not alone. She fought the urge and she waited.Devlin started speaking. "What I'm about to tell you, I've only ever told three people. I told Casiuss all those years ago when we met. I told Sheila when I was trying to convi

"Of course I will help you," she said."So does that mean you will you go back home with me", Devlin asked looking at her pleadingly.She hesitated before answering, "Yeah, I will, but you need to understand, things cannot be the same anymore. I-I can't be with you"."I really hoped you wouldn't say that. I really did, but I understand", he replied looking down, unable to meet her eyes."It's just not fair to me, or to you in fact. We'll go back together but once we arrive, I'll drop you off at the mansion and go on to Greenfield", she said with tears already in her eyes.She stood up, wiping off the tears in her eyes."I am truly sorry Faith. I did not mean for things to get this complicated"."It's ok, truly", Faith replied smiling. "Sh*t happens, but we move on. We'll leave first thing tomorrow, hopefully beat the traffic. We'll see from there"."Thank you, Faith".She drove him back home with her. There was no hotel around that would suit his taste. Her house was no better but at

He offered to drive and she happily obliged since she was tired and could use the time to get some sleep.She slept for what seemed like hours only to wake up to realize she had only been asleep for just one."It has only been one hour?""Yeah, maybe you should go back to sleep. You look like you need it", he said after looking at her and shaking his head."What is that supposed to mean"."I'm just saying you could use a bit more sleep", he said starting to smile a little."Yeah? Well you could be a little big-", she stopped looking down towards his legs and starting to smile too.Already serious, he replied, "I know you don't mean that. I was there to hear your screams, baby... I know you don't mean that".Blushing a bit, she replied, "No, I don't. But since I'm awake", she continued, "I want to talk to you about something"."Ok, you sound serious. What's up?""I think-I think you need to face this head on. That's the only way you can move past it.""Face what head on?""The issue wi

Two days later, Faith and Devlin were in her car on their way to Isabella's parent's house. They chose her car since it wasn't as flashy as his and conveyed at least a bit of humility.They had left very early in the morning. He had to drive to her house first since she insisted they take her car. He arrived to meet her ready, so they started the journey without him having to enter her apartment.It had been a very silent trip. He was terrified of what he was on his way to do. She didn't quite know what to say to him, so they spent their time doing separate things, her on her phone and he pretending to be focused on driving.After a while, he stopped the car on the side of the road and said to her, "Would you please take over driving. My hands can't seem to stop shaking"."Of course", she replied at once. She then immediately came out of the vehicle and switched seats with him.Once they were back on the road, he turned to her, "I don't even know what I'll say, how to start. I just te

"So, tell me what happened", Faith said immediately."Well, I got in, and we talked and...""Oh no, my bad. First, what happened at the door?""This is going to be long, isn't it?""Well, the faster you answer, the sooner it'll be over"."How about I just give you a detailed summary of what happened?""Ok, alright." "When I rang the doorbell and she opened up, she was of course surprised to see me. I couldn't tell if she was scared because she sent the letter or was just still angry. Either way, I was still to blame"."She asked me what I was doing there and I told her I just came to talk. Of course, she replied that I was a few years too late and I did not have any right to come into her home after all that time.""Then I remembered what you said about speaking from my heart and I just told her, "I know that I ran away, but I loved your daughter. And it's because I loved her so much, that I risked coming all this way and getting turned back to get a chance to make things right.""By

Walking up to the house seemed to take forever. Now that they were here, Faith could not help but be nervous. She was nervous for him of course, but she was also nervous for herself, because she was going to meet the parents of the man she had been dating. Well, use to date.She had no reason to be nervous since they were not seeing each other anymore- for the moment- and she was only supporting him as a friend. Her body however had a mind if its own as she could not stop fidgeting.Eventually, they got to the door but nobody knocked. Devlin seemed to be a little scared so she fought down her own nervousness and knocked for him.A few seconds later, a man who looked exactly like Devlin, except older, opened the door. Immediately he saw who his visitor was, his eyes widened in surprise and a smile gradually formed on his face."D-Dad, its-its been a while", Devlin said looking down unable to meet his father's eyes."Devlin. What are you standing there for? Give your old man a hug."Wit

"Dev! Get out!" Faith yelled. "Out! Out!" Sheila yelled too, determinedly pushing Devlin out of the room. "You shouldn't be here. Don't you know that it's a bad omen to see the bride before the wedding?"Devlin groaned. "Come on! I don't believe in superstitions. Can I just see my lovely wife?""She's not your wife yet, mister. Not until the ceremony is complete. Plus, you saw her last night. You too idiots slept in the same bed. I don't understand why you can't stay apart for even a second." She got him out the door and slammed it shut in his face."Done," she declared, dusting off her hands and returning to Faith. There was a short knock at the door and it opened again.Sheila turned around in exasperation. "Devlin, if I have to tell you one more time--"But it wasn't Devlin who stepped in. Adele squealed and rushed over to Faith, pulling her into a hug. "Oh my gosh, honey, congratulations!"Faith hugged her back. "Thank you, Adele. I'm so glad you could fly in.""Girl, I wouldn't

Immediately Faith saw Devlin walk through the door, her heart started beating faster, her palms started sweating and her breathing became heavy.She was scared of how their encounter was going to go, but damn did he look good. He was dressed in black cargo pants and a teal green shirt. His hair was rough and uncombed. He'd obviously come straight from bed.As soon as he entered, his eyes started scanning for her until he saw her and their eyes met. He pressed his lips together and started walking towards her, not breaking eye contact.From the corner of her eyes, she saw Adele pulling a reluctant Sheila away and into the house to give them some privacy.“Faith”, Devlin said softly as soon as he reached her.“Devlin”, she replied, breaking their eye contact now that he was close. It felt uncomfortable to continue to look him in the eyes like that. Also, she was worried her heart would go into overdrive at the sight of him.It wouldn't do to show him how much he was affecting her. Not w

As she drove to his house, she could not help but feel nervous. This would be the first time she was seeing him since they went on the road trip together and he had all but said he’d be fine with whatever direction their relationship took.She had been a friend when he desperately needed one but now that she had offered all the help she could as a friend, she could not continue with that. And even though she was the one who severed their relationship in the fist place, she loved him too much to be able to accept that.She drove like a madman, remembering ironically that she'd called Sheila that just earlier that day. She was mostly nervous and worried for him but underneath the nervousness, she was excited to see him again and maybe that had a part to play in why she drove so fast too.She arrived at his house several minutes earlier than she should have, jumped down and practically ran to the front door. She pressed on the door bell.Devlin himself answered the door, but the sight th

After they had breakfast and washed the dishes, they moved to the living room to hang out. The next few hours were full of light-headed conversations while munching on snacks.Sheila suddenly reached out and smacked Faith on the head. "Hey! What was that for?" Faith complained.“We’re going to a pool party. You should come with us”, Sheila said with wide, innocent eyes. But her amused smile gave her away.“Yeah, you should come. It’ll be a lot of fun”, Adele added.“I don’t know. You know pool parties aren’t really my scene”, Faith replied shaking her head. “You guys go have fun.”“Not without you, babe”, Sheila said.“Yes, pleeease”, Adele added pleadingly.“I don’t know”, Faith said. She was not really feeling it.“Come on, you had a lot of fun yesterday, right?” Adele asked her.“Yeah, but that’s different. That was you two. This time it’ll be a bunch of people I don’t know”, Faith replied trying to convince them.“It’ll be a lot of fun. And you won’t be with the bunch of people,

They got to the movies just in time to see a rom-com movie. Sheila wasn’t much for it but it was the only movie left that hadn’t started. They got some popcorn and drinks and went in to the cinema.It was always nice to spend time with Adele and Sheila, though they did not do it very often. A little into the movie, they started started talking to each other, making funny comments about the actors.One of the attendants came up to them and told them to keep quiet. Apparently, someone somewhere had complained they were disturbing everyone. They agreed to keep it down and the attendant walked back up t his post.A little later, they could not help it and just started talking again. Adele who did not seem too enthusiastic about the movie at first started shouting out her comments loud enough for the entire cinema to hear them.The attendant started for them once more but seemed to decide against it halfway and turned back. Maybe because everyone was laughing and no one was complaining. Sh

They ate the dinner prepared by Laura and once again, they offered to wash the dishes. Laura agreed after much persuasion. Once they finished with that, they went back to the living room where they struck up a conversation.“So Faith, how did you meet Devlin," his father asked.“Devlin reapplied to College. He needed a tutor and fortunately for him, I was available--the highest scoring entrant that year.”“Tutoring him could not have been easy. He must have been a pain in the ass. Pardon my language.”Faith smiled. “Oh, don't worry about it. And yes, he we incredibly insufferable. He’s lucky I was patient because I don’t know what he would have done without me.”“Well, thank you for staying by his side even when he’s such an idiot”, he said looking at her in a way that made her feel like he also understood what was going on. Was that something every parent had, she wondered.Devlin didn’t seem to understand since he was just laughing. He looked like he was really happy to be back home
