Chapter 25: Being Wacthed

I walked towards Aiden and the others and even from afar I could tell that there was something weird going on.

Ara was nowhere to be found, and Aiden’s friends were all looking at him, and mind you, not the good kind of look, the kind of look that put someone six feet under.

What’s happening? I have a gut feeling as to what could have happened, and seeing Aiden’s expression getting uglier as I got closer only proved my suspicion.

“Aiden, what is going on?” I asked him, and he turned his face away. His friend scoffed at his behavior and cursed at him.

“This rotten bastard made Ara cry. She finally confessed her feelings, and instead of just rejecting her, he insulted her. Like what the hell, bro! She was your friend, at least you could have rejected her more nicely! Why the insults?!” Leon yelled, pulling his collar.

“Leon! Stop that…enough!” Therese intervened and pulled Leon away. I also tried to help by pulling Aiden away, grabbing his arm, but he just swatted my hand away an

    I didn't dwell much on what happened yesterday. I also didn't bother telling Aiden about my gut feeling that someone was following me since he'll surely make a big deal out of it. Also, I'm not really sure if someone was indeed following me since I didn't really take a good look and I didn’t see anyone, so I have no evidence. Today, I got up early since it will be my first day at work. Hayden told me that we will be meeting some important people and that I should dress up nicely. I wore the dress Aiden bought for me at the mall a few days ago and I guess I look the part now since Hayden told me we were going in a fancy restaurant. I didn't want to embarrass him so I did extra effort with my make up. I looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock already. He's probably waiting downstairs for me to finish. Once I was satisfied with how I looked. I smiled at the mirror one last time before walking out of my room. I walked down the stairs and indeed Hayden wa

    "I see, so you know Bella?” Hayden said. "I doubt you're unaware of that," Dominic replied back. Before the tension could thicken any further, Fiona stepped forward, her face glowing with a perfectly rehearsed smile. “Isabella, I didn't thought I'd see you again” she said, her voice dripping with condescension. “It's good that you're here,” I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Her smile was anything but friendly. “Congratulations,” I replied, trying to keep my tone light. I know she doesn’t like be very much, or maybe she doesn’t like me at all. I thought that animosity of her’s would go away when I retired for Dominic but it seems she still carrying her hatred towards me. "I'm finally getting married, after a lot of obstacles thrown aside, finally there's nothing left to stop us," she said, with a double meaning behind her words as she looked at me with a veiled venomous look. Hayden’s hand slid protectively around my waist, pulling me

    “Hey! Are you ready on your first day?” Aiden jumped at me. “You make it sound like I’m in kindergarten.” I chuckled at him.The school gave me my schedule already and got it delivered along with Aiden’s. We have different classes since we don’t have the same program, but our last schedule is the same, so we’ll be going home together. Hayden also approved of the schedule. Before, our agreement was that I work for him from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon, but I guess he called the school and made some changes because it was now the opposite of that. I get to go to school from eight to three, and then I go work at his office from four in the afternoon to eight in the evening. It sounds exhausting but I have to be patient and persevere if I want to finish school. So I’ll do whatever I can to make it so. …We arrived at the school in a blink of an eye, and I swear my palms are sweating like crazy. I don’t know

    “Do you want to go to lunch together?” I asked Asher and he briskly nodded his head. “I can tour you around campus if you want since your new here. I can tell you the nice places to hangout and the places you should always avoid.” He said, and my nose scrunched at the last part. “There are places that I should avoid? Why?” I asked curiously. “Well…there are good guys and bad guys here. I just don’t want you to get into trouble, especially since they can be pretty territorial around here,” He replied and I nodded in understanding. It should be a no brainer, how silly of me. In my previous school there are also those who think so highly of themselves, of course I wasn’t one of those students who get picked on because of my status, but it’s just sad that there are people who thinks they are above the law. I really hate those kind of people. However, it can’t be helped, that is the rule of the world, only the strong and wise remains, so if you want to

    “Be careful of him Bella, he’s a disgusting freak, you shouldn’t associate yourself with him,” Aiden said, and I looked at his friends who were quiet, but I could tell that they agree with him. But why? “You’re being harsh Aiden, you shouldn’t talk to someone like that,” I reprimanded him. I thought he would calm down but it made him even angrier. “Why are you defending him!?” “Because you’re being an asshole!” Aiden’s brows were pressed together as he gazed at me, it seems he wants to say something, but in the end, he decided to just leave away with heavy steps. … “What was that about?” I asked his friends but they all just shook their heads as they looked Asher. “Why don’t you ask him,” Leon said, looking at Asher. Both him and Therese followed Aiden, and now I was left with Asher, and I really hope he could give me an answer, since I have lots of questions for him. “Are you okay?” I approached him, and he just stiffly

    “I just thought you need privacy since you seem to…” “To what?” He asked, not a single strand of emotion laced on his face. “I just thought with what happened last time that I should be more careful with coming into your office,” I explained, articulating my words so that nothing inappropriate comes out of my mouth. “You mean the time you saw me have sex?” My jaw dropped. I was trying to be professional and sensible but this man just broke it without even trying. He was so blunt that I couldn’t process what I should reply to him. ‘Um, yeah, that,” it was all I could muster to answer. I know its pathetic but I really don’t now how to recover form what he just said. Sigh, so him and Aiden do have similarities. Both just say whatever comes to their minds. “You don’t have to worry about that anymore, I’ll not be doing anything indecent as long as you’re here, so feel free to come in and out as you please,” he said making me flush.

    “Good morning,” Hayden greeted me as he sipped his coffee while skimming at a stack of papers in the dining table. “Hi,” I replied, settling into the seat on his right as the maids began serving breakfast. “How’s school with Aiden so far?” He asked casually, his eyes still on the paper. “It’s been fine,” I answered curtly, not wanting to have a lengthy conversation with him. I could feel his gaze shifting toward me, but I pretended not to notice, not wanting to feed this unhealthy feelings I have towards him. It’s not like this is anything serious. How long have I even known him? You can’t possibly get attached to someone you’ve barely scratched the surface with, right? “I heard he had an altercation with someone yesterday,” Hayden said, lowering the papers, “Do you know something about it?” "I’m not sure I should be the one to—" My words faltered when Aiden entered the room, his eyes locking onto mine almost

Hayden was gonna pick me up at five and I would hate it if I kept him waiting for too long. I threw my head down, and didn’t look up until the bell rang. I quickly got up and went straight to the parking lot, but before I could reach there, I saw something unfold in front of me. Aiden was dragging Asher. Initially I would have scrammed and run to them. However, there was something odd. Asher’s eyes were squinted, not from fear, but from laughing as Aiden held his hands.

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 62: In A Blink Of An Eye

    In a blink of an eye. Two years have already passed after we left the country and settled in a small town where Hayden’s mother grew up.Hayden had to do his job at home since he doesn’t want to leave us alone. However, there are occasional trips where he had to go back for some important meetings and negotiations. You might think I left on impulse, but no. We didn’t leave immediately that night. I stayed home, and fulfilled my promise not my father to take care of him till the end. Thankfully he passed away without experiencing any pain. One night, while he was sleeping, he didn’t wake up. All that’s left was a letter in his nightstand. It seems he had already prepared everything. It’s as if he knew what was going to happen that night. He was clutching a frame in his chest that showed an image of him and my mom when they were younger. He had on a bright smile, and she was looking at him with so much affection. When I stumbled into his room, I could only silently cry, but the pai

    I think it’s safe to say that all of us are I hell right now. It was exams week and I haven’t been able to catch up with all the discussion. If you heard the thing about how a one day absent in college can have a huge effect, it’s not a lie. And now imagine my case. A whole week of being excused. “I can’t read any more of this concepts.” I buried my face on the mountains of books. “Shhh! No loud talking!” The librarian reprimanded making me flinch. I looked at the others and they seemed to be handling this exam weeks pretty calmly. “You shouldn’t have gone on a break for a week,” Aiden shook his head at me, silently laughing at my misery. I glared at him and stuck my tongue out. Tsk! He’s just jealous because he can’t freely blow off school. Not that I can, but…ugh! This exam is killing me!!! “Stop that Aiden. You’re scores were pretty much hanging in the last prelimination.” Asher said making me chuckle. Aiden quickly shut his mouth and drowned himself on his books. I l

    The cool morning breeze wrapped itself around me as I stepped out of my car. The campus stretched ahead in all its usual chaos. Students hurried between buildings, their chatter blending into the hum of the bustling crowd. I wasn’t in a rush today though. Not that I wasn’t excited to be back, it’s just…I’m not really looking forward to anything. I figured I’d just go see Aiden since I’m too early for my first class anyway. I reached the gymnasium since I’m aware that the has practices in the morning. However, his team mates were already heading out. I asked one person and he said that Aiden was still in the locker room, showering. I figured I’d just wait for him here outside to finish. A few minutes passed and I heard his voice, however, he wasn’t alone. I was sitting on the bleacher near the wall so he didn’t see me as they both passed by. Who is that person he is talking? A friend? I was about to call him, but when I saw what they did next, I just wished the ground would sw

    The cool night air brushed against my skin as Hayden and I stepped into the garden. The soft glow of lanterns hanging from the trees illuminated the pathway, casting flickering shadows on the ground. The sky stretched above us, a vast canvas adorned with a sea of stars. "Come on," I urged, tugging his hand. "I want to show you something."Hayden chuckled, following my lead. "You're being very secretive. Should I be worried?"I shot him a playful glare. "Just trust me."We stopped at a secluded patch of grass where the view of the sky was clearest. I spread a thick blanket I had brought earlier and gestured for him to sit. He raised a brow but complied, settling beside me as I lay on my back, staring up at the constellations."This was something my mom and I used to do," I said, my voice softer now. "Whenever I had a bad day or just needed to escape, she'd bring me out here, and we'd just watch the stars. She knew all the constellations, and she'd tell me their stories."Hayden's gaz

    "How are things there?" Hayden asked at the other end of the line while I read a bunch of papers in father's office.His health was deteriorating day by day, which is why I can't focus much on the task that Tom is bombarding me with. "It's fine, I'm just really struggling emotionally. I can't help but get worried of father. He's alone at our house. I know Benjamin is there but I still can't get rid of the feeling." I said, massaging my temples."Do you want me to go over and take a look?" He asked. "No, no need, besides I know your bu..." Before I could finish the call ended. I looked at the phone to see that my battery was dead. I groaned, flooping my head on the table. The papers were all the same. It was all contracts of our artists that needed to be reviewed and signed. I was told the company will fo a temporary reolacement of CEO just until when I finish college.
