05 - The Handsome Jerk

Xion decides to go to Hanie's apartment, intending to get as much detailed information as possible

about Aderaldo. It seems that Hanie is really scared to talk about Adelrado on campus. Therefore, Xion decides to speak to her now. Hanie is surprised but still lets Xion into her apartment. The woman can already guess the purpose of the man's arrival tonight.

"So? What do you want to know?" asks Hanie without further ado.

Xion brushes his hair and stares expectantly at Hanie.

"I wanna know who the bastard we saw this afternoon was. You have to tell me everything," Xion says without hesitation. Hanie sighs. Like it or not, she has to tell Xion as it is. "Aderaldo Cetta Early is the largest shareholder on campus. He is also a benefactor to all the foundations under our campus. Aderaldo is the owner of several large companies in this country. One of the most influential men, because of his endless wealth,"

"He owns nearly everything. However, one thing, he is never serious with women. He is a person who really hates rejection and anyone who doesn't want to follow the rules he makes,"

"There have been several cases. Students who were looking for trouble because Aderaldo stole ah—no, the girl herself seduced Aderaldo and left her boyfriend. You know what Aderaldo did to that girl's lover?"

Xion shakes his head weakly. "That guy ended up being expelled from campus dishonorably. He was even blacklisted from applying for a job in this country. Then, that girl? You thought she'd become Aderaldo's lover? No! He threw her away and even spat on her with terrible curses. He didn't appreciate being toyed with and underestimated," explains Hanie, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Then?"

"Then it's like that. For Aderaldo, what that girl did was the most fatal mistake. Approaching him, but not breaking up with her lover first and seducing him endlessly. Aderaldo doesn't like that kind of thing," continues Hanie as Xion listens intently.

"So, the point of your story is that I'd better shut up? There's no need to give any payback to that

bastard?" Xion asks, and Hanie lets out a tired breath.

Even though Hanie only recently met Xion, she can already guess what the slanted-eyed man in front of her is like. Stubborn and always acts as he pleases.

"I'm not telling you to do anything. All decisions are yours. If you want to fight, go ahead. As long as you can accept all the consequences later on. I have no right to forbid you, Xion. I'm just telling you what I know so far, "explains Hanie wisely.

Xion ruffles his hair, exhales tiredly after hearing the explanation, and mutters, "I won't let that man hurt Naara again."

"Do you like Naara?" asks Hanie carefully.

Xion gasps and shakes his head quickly. "No. Naara is my best friend. How can I like her as the

opposite sex," evades Xion. Hanie raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that? It's very rare to only have friendship between two people of opposite sexes, with no feelings for each other," says Hanie teasingly.

"That's only your words. I better go home. Thank you for the information you've provided," says Xion, stepping out of Hanie's apartment. Xion blushes, smiling.

Hanie escorts Xion to the door of the apartment unit. Waves him goodbye.

"Have fun playing with fire, Xion," Hanie mutters after Xion is out of sight. The woman closes the door and continues what she was doing before.

Naara tries hard to look okay. She is a woman who is good at hiding what she really feels.

When Naara opens the door of the small apartment she lives in and goes downstairs, how surprised the woman is, seeing the figure of a man she really doesn't want to see or meet, let alone having to greet each other. However, the damned man is already standing there leaning against his super expensive car in a navy suit which of course, also bears a fantastic price.

Naara ignores Aderaldo's presence and lowers her head, trying to walk as fast as possible so the man won't notice her.

"You think you can get away from me, hm?" Naara's footsteps stop when her arm is tightly gripped by the big palm of the demon-hearted handsome man.

"Let go of my hand, you bastard!" Naara snaps. Aderaldo smirks in response to Naara's shout.

"I won't," says Aderaldo casually.

Naara looks at the man's face with a look of hatred, but it instantly turns into a look of admiration. How can it not, as seen from such a close distance, the man's jaw is very firm, his nose is sharp, his eyebrows are thick, his blue eyes are clear, the hair around his face makes him even sexier, plus his lips. Those damn lips that kissed her tiny lips yesterday are too tempting. Oh, asshole! Why is Naara's

brain busy praising his handsome face? Naara immediately suggests her mind to hate this asshole in front of her.

"What do you really want? Why are you disturbing my peace," says Naara, annoyed.

"I want you to be my lover," Aderaldo says firmly, albeit still looking relaxed.

Naara's eyes widen as she hears those words that seem meaningless.

"You're crazy! I don't want to be your girlfriend. Please find another woman. Stop bothering me. I came to this city to study, not to serve a lunatic like you." scolds Naara angrily.

"Whatever. I don't need your approval. Even if you don't want to, I will still force you to do as I say," says Aderaldo.

Naara snorts in disbelief. "Huh?! You're really mentally ill!" mumbles Naara without thinking.

"I'll give you everything you need. Whatever it is. I have everything," Aderaldo says confidently.

Naara shakes her head quickly. "What I need now is for you to get away from me. I hate you, damn it!" Naara snaps.

As if having a deja vu, the incident repeats itself. Aderaldo kisses Naara's lips again. The woman is still not moving at all and her hands are weak. Her brain is still digesting what is happening until

finally, strength comes to her out of nowhere, Naara manages to push Aderaldo's big body until their kiss breaks.

"You JERK! FUCK YOU!" Naara yells at Aderaldo after slapping the man in the face.

"You really are an asshole! I hate you," Naara hisses without caring about the people around them who look disappointed because the kissing scene ended so quickly.

Aderaldo moistens his lips and glares at Naara.

"I just kissed your lips, honey. I haven't crushed it let alone explored your mouth, and you're being

rough with me? Heh! You know, what you did earlier could be evidence in the police station for acts of physical violence," says Aderaldo. Naara is surprised to hear that.

The woman does not expect that the handsome man with the face of an angel yet with a devil heart

would give such an answer. Instead of leaving and apologizing, he is threatening Naara. Oh, God!

Once a jerk, always a jerk.

"You are really an asshole," Naara curses boldly. Aderaldo smiles with satisfaction, as if proud of

Naara's words to him. "You can choose right now, come with me without a fight or being forcibly picked up by the police for committing violence against me?" says Aderaldo casually.

If only this man in front of Naara acts like a normal human being, it is certain that in a matter of

minutes, Naara might fall in love with him. With incredibly stunning and nearly perfect physique and unquestionably wealthy judging from what the man wears and wears. However, it is his attitude that reduces all his good marks in Naara's eyes.

It's clearly Aderaldo who was at fault for kissing her forcefully, but why would Naara be the one dragged to jail? With heavy steps, the girl finally relents. Naara gets into Aderaldo's luxury car with a gloomy face, while Aderaldo looks happy as he whistles before closing the driver's door.

"Good girl! If you keep being obedient like this, the faster the game will end," says Aderaldo, and

Naara glares at him.
