“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.

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 1: One Sinful Night

    In a dimly lit room, a woman's breath was resonating so loudly as she panted for air, seemingly uncomfortable as she arched her back, clawing at the sheets beneath her body, her face and neck red, completely intoxicated, her eyes looking left and right as if searching for something. The door suddenly creaked open, allowing the light from outside to enter. Isabella saw this and her eyes darted in the direction of the door. She saw a figure coming in and her body trembled even more. “What do we have here,” A dark voice penetrates her ears and for some reason, the heaviness she felt in her body subsided upon hearing the man's dark yet alluring voice. “Tsk! It seems Alfred is taking my joke too seriously, actually bringing a woman into my room,” Isabella can feel the mattress shift down as the man sat beside her. The man reeked of alcohol, probably drunk. In the dark, she could see his faint appearance. The light of the moon perfectly casted on the man's face. “Did you purp

    Isabella opened her eyes when she felt warmth on her face. The light of the sun casted perfectly in her bare face, creating an enthralling scene that would surely hypnotize men who would see her.Her eyes glowed with a leisure glint in them as she assessed what was happening around her, drowsy from the event that happened last night.She tried to move and get the white blanket off of her but the moment she made the slightest movement, a nerve-wracking pain spread all throughout her body.“What the…” She hissed, touching her buttocks. She gritted her teeth as she placed her feet down the floor.“Where am I, and what happened? Why do I feel like I got run over by a train?” she mumbled to herself, massaging her temples.She got up, still suppressing the pain from her lower body. When she got up, she was about to walk away when she saw in her peripheral vision, the tinge of blood in the white cover of the mattress. “What is this?” Her heart raced, and not a second passed, sh

    “Are you crazy?! You left home, where are you going to sleep now?” Isabella’s friend, Kara stressfully waved her arms around in front of her.They were now at her apartment, she is the only person she could run to. They’ve been best friends ever since they were kids, so they’re bond was naturally closer. Kara’s mother was her mother’s helper, but after her mother’s death they had to move out, but nevertheless they still kept contact. “I was hoping I could stay here for a while till I figure things out.” She replied, smiling sheepishly at her friend who was eyeing her as if she was crazy. “Bella…You do know I’m not rich like you right? I can barely keep up with my rent, you can’t expect me to provide for the both of us.” Kara said, sighing heavily as she sat down beside her.“I care for you Bella, really. But this…I have a lot of responsibilities on my hand, with mom’s medication and my college fees…” Kara stopped, then her brows knitted together as her eyes moved to Isabella’s

    “Are you just going to stand there?” Dominic said with a deep voice, sending chills down her spine, and at the same time she vaguely recalled the things he said to her that night as she heard his voice making her face heat up. She can’t help but give him a disgusted look, he is already engaged yet he actually cheated on his fiancé like it’s nothing. Isabella didn’t realize that she’s been standing frozen all this time, her face scrunched up into a frown, it’s as if the time had totally stopped on her, and the next thing she knows, Dominic is already standing right in front of her. His eyes boring into her soul, examining all the little action she does. “Are you deaf? Did you not hear me?” Isabella snapped out of her stupor, and accidentally looked him in the eyes, her green eyes meeting his cold ocean blue eyes. “Uh…I—I’m sorry sir,” she quickly bowed her head down not wanting to meet his gaze. She feels like any time she would melt by how intense he was looking at her. No

    Isabella stood in front of the woman who guided her yesterday to Dominic’s office. She learned that her name was Anne, and that she has worked in the company more than half of her life which she highly commends, since it’s probably not easy to maintain such a high position here, which only means she must be really good at her job. “That’s everything you have to know. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me or anyone, okay? And I really hope you last longer than his previous assistants,” Anne told her. “Why? What happened before that made them quit?” Isabella couldn’t help but ask. She’s still wary about everything, and hearing her talk like that made her restless heart even more restless. “Well, to tell you the truth…” Anne stopped for a moment and looked around, making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them. “Mr. Russo is a bit of a playboy before,” “A little bit?” Anne laughed, “Well actually not a little, more like this much,” she said, spreading he

    Isabella sat quietly on her desk that was next to Dominic’s. She wasn’t given any particular task yet, so she have nothing better to do than stare at the wall in front of her. Dominic looked at her through his peripheral vision and noticed her rather bored look, and a mischievous idea suddenly ran to his mind. Heh, it’s not bad to take a little revenge for breaking his frame, right? “Do you mind, bringing this to the third floor, these are important documents that needs to be signed.” He gave her a stack of paper that was lying around. “All of these?” “Yes, is there a problem?” He asked with a dead expression, but deep down he was smiling whenever she feels rattled when he looks at her. “No-no, there’s nothing wrong sir. I’ll get it done right away,” she rambled, and swiftly carried the papers that piled up to reach her head, she walked to the door, but had trouble opening it since her hands were full. Dominic looking at her sorry state decided to lend her a little hand,

    “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

    "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

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 26: Strained Smiles and Old Acquaintances

    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 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

    As agreed yesterday, me and Aiden went to his academy so I can register. And as expected, his school is not like any other school. It's the school for elite. The Golden Academy. As far as I know they are very much strict with the students they allow to enter. I haven't even passed my credentials yet but they've already accepted me. It's suspicious why such a prestigious academy would allow a girl with no background, but I can only speculate that Hayden has something to do with it. "I'm so excited to have you here with me. We're gonna have so much fun, I'll introduce you to my friends and I'll tour you around campus," Aiden said enthusiastically. He has such a golden retriever vibe. I bet a lot of girls are trying to pursue him. I filed a bunch of papers at the registrar first, and after that, Aiden and I walked around the oval looking at other students. And I swear I saw glares from other girls as they watched me and Aiden walk together. Sigh. I have not even started, ye
