Haylee's POV:
It was a weird dream. I dreamt that last night, mom chased me out from home. The hottest guy in my school, Niel Anderson came and took me away. He brought me to go shopping, and then he took me to his home. His house was big, I never stepped foot on a house that was as big as his house before. Then he bought me new books and school uniforms too. It was too good to be true. So, I'm quite sure it was all just a dream.
Triiiiiiiiinnnnngggggg!!!!!
What sound was that? It's so noisy! The sound got my head dizzy in an instant so I opened my eyes to see where the sound came from. Turned out it was just an alarm clock on the bedside table. I turned it off immediately while glaring at it with an annoyed face. How dare you wake me up from such a beautiful dream?!
The clock showed six in the morning. That was still early, I usually got ready for school at six-thirty. So, I closed my eyes again, trying to take a nap. But wait! Why did my pillow feel
About thirty minutes later, the car almost arrived at the school. As requested, Ben dropped her off about two blocks away from the high school. "Miss Johnson, I will wait here for you again after school," Ben said to Haylee. "Okay, Ben. Thank you so much." "You're welcome, Miss Johnson. Have a nice day." "You too." Haylee got out of the car and walked hastily towards the school area. She saw Ben drive away leaving the scene behind. She looked forward again and focused her gaze on the school building in front of her. When she reached the school area, she saw a lot of students were grouping up surrounding something at the parking lot in front of the school main building. 'Did someone got hit by a car?' She wondered as her steps went closer to the scene as well, feeling curious about what happened. Turned out the students were actually looking at a red Porsche. Haylee stared at the car with uncanny feelings. 'Why did this car look
However, Niel didn't let her go so easily. He pulled her body to him again and hugged her tightly, pressing her body to his chest while looking at her intensely. With his hoarse seductive low voice, he said slowly to her. "That's not how you do your first kiss..." Haylee could see his head was leaning slowly to hers and within seconds, his lips touched hers. She could feel his tongue move into her mouth, exploring every inch of it and then he slowly sucked her lower lip and released it carefully while bitting it a little with his teeth. Haylee froze in front of him like a statue after the kiss. For a brief moment, she felt her heart skip a beat when he kissed her. She was too bewildered by what happened, she lost her rational mind and couldn't say anything. Niel looked at her and gave her a ravishing smile. "I'll give you more when you come to the penthouse today. Don't forget about it," Niel said to her. Then he released her body and wa
Haylee carefully stepped outside of the elevator. Anna bowed down to her as a sign of respect before the elevator door closed again and slowly moved downward. Haylee walked along the empty corridor. The floor was covered with a maroon carpet and the wall was painted in brown with a little bit of gold lining. There was a big door at the end of the corridor. The door was locked with some kind of automatic door lock system where you needed to key in some password and scanned the Gold card before you could open the door. Haylee pushed the doorbell located at the right side of the big door. Ding-dong! The doorbell chimed and Niel quickly looked at the door monitor to see who was outside. When he saw Haylee was standing erect in front of the door, he quickly opened the main door. He was on the phone with one of his board directors and his face looked stern as he discussed some work matters on the phone. When the door was opened, Niel reached out his right hand out
"Do you want to use the bathroom first?" He asked politely. Haylee was hesitant. She did want to use it first but Niel was inside the bedroom. She felt uncomfortable by it. "Forget it. I'll go first then," he said more when she was just silent. Niel boldly took off his shirt in front of her. Seeing his almost naked body, Haylee quickly turned around to avoid looking at him. Niel laughed sarcastically at her again. "Baby Girl, turn around. Why don't you take a look? A lot of girls at school are dying to see me naked," Niel teased her. "Yeah! But I'm not one of them," she refused instantly. "Are you sure?" He teased her more while laughing at her. Then, Haylee heard the bathroom door was opened and closed again. So she turned around again since she thought Niel had already gone into the bathroom. But Niel was still standing there flashing his naked body on her while wearing only his tight boxer briefs. "Aaarrrrrggghhhh!!!
Haylee's POV: I didn't know what was wrong with me. Why did I just let it happen? Why did I didn't resist at all? Niel was sitting beside me, putting his hand around my shoulder. I could feel his skin touch the back of my neck. The warmth from his skin passed through to my neck in this chilled room. The air conditioner was on and my leg felt extremely chilled too. I purposely moved my legs under the blanket. When Niel saw me doing that, he did the same. He suddenly sat closer to me and our legs touched each other under the blanket. I gulped again feeling uneasy by the situation. "Baby Girl, do you want to see something amazing?" He whispered to me with his hoarse voice. I turned my head to face him and he was staring back at me with his deep blue eyes. I was speechless being in that state with him. His face was so close to me and he didn't even feel bothered staring longer at me like he was trying to seduce me with only his eyes. What
'Should I feel lucky then? Or should I feel like being taken advantage of?' Haylee couldn't grasp the multiple emotions that she felt at the moment. "What are you thinking?" Niel asked her when he saw her face looked stupefy. Haylee just shook her head. Niel then unexpectedly leaned his head to her again and gave her a passionate kiss. His kiss was too intoxicated, Haylee got lost again in his arms. His body moved on top of hers again and they were hugging tightly under the blanket. Niel moved his hand all over her body, touching every curve that she had as if trying to remember every inch of her skin. While Haylee had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck making sure their lips were not parted. His junior got hardened again, and he slowly grabbed it and tried to put it inside her lady part again. They stopped kissing and Niel stared at her again with his nose touching hers. "Second round," he whispered at her teasingly and gave her a ravishing smi
"To the mall," Niel answered her casually. "Again?" "Yes, again. Why?" "I thought you said we will go eat lunch." "There are restaurants at the mall too." "Why are we going to the mall anyway?" Haylee was curious. She was penniless anyway. She couldn't possibly have fun going to the mall if she wasn't able to buy anything. She would just be going to waste her time and energy. "To buy clothes for you," Niel answered her. "Again? You just bought me like fifty clothes two days ago," Haylee was surprised. "Yeah, but that's for you to use at the lakehouse. Now, we'll buy clothes for you to use at the penthouse as well." "What?! Why?" She was astonished by his words. 'Is he planning to make me live in the penthouse with him now?' She pondered in her mind. "So you don't have to bring clothes if you ever need to go to the penthouse again. I mean... you only stay four days at the lakehouse, and th
"Whether I want to come to the mall by myself or shop through a fashion magazine, it's none of your business," Niel snapped at him. The man smirked at him. He then turned his gaze to Haylee who was standing beside Niel. "Who is this beautiful lady? I thought you had said before that you will never get involved in a relationship because you didn't trust in one." Haylee was puzzled by the man's words. 'Niel didn't want to get involved in a relationship? But he had dated a lot of girls at school before,' she was confused. She looked at Niel and the man alternately. "I'm sorry. It's quite rude of me to not introduce myself properly. Hi, I am Patrick Anderson. Niel's second cousin. And you are?" The man said to Haylee while stretching out his hand to offer her a handshake. "I'm Haylee John..." "You don't need to talk to him!" Niel cut her off before she could finish her words. Niel brushed off Patrick's hand, wasn't allowing him to
After Haylee was done cleaning herself up, Niel finally brought her up to the top floor again. It felt truly uncanny when he saw her smiling, laughing and even making some jokes to him while they were inside the elevator. He felt horrible inside because he remembered what happened to her last night. The fact that she forgot all about it was clear proof that her mental health was deteriorating.They entered the penthouse again and Niel's eyes swiftly went to look at the living room. The television was gone and the mess there had been cleaned up. The food was also had been served on the dining table."Where's the TV?" Haylee asked. She was weird that the television was gone. She tried to recall what happened last night but her head felt hurt instantly. She cried out in pain while holding her head with both arms."What's wrong?" Niel grabbed her body from falling. The woman looked like she was about to faint."Aspirin..." she said and Niel helped her to sit at the dining table first befo
Upon seeing her leaving the open kitchen and entering the bedroom, Niel rushed to the elevator and went up to his penthouse again. He took his spare key card of the condo unit and went down again. He just left his laptop on the floor in front of the condo. It only took him less than five minutes to return and he quickly went into the house.The first thing he did was go to the open kitchen and grabbed all the knives and cutleries. He put them inside a black plastic bag and hid them inside a bin. Then he carried the bin and put it into a cupboard inside another bedroom. He threw a bunch of towels and a blanket inside the cupboard to hide the bin even more.Then he came out to the living room and slowly went to the bedroom that Haylee entered before. He carefully twisted the knob to check if the door was locked. It was and he just stood there thinking about what he should do next. There was not a single sound from inside and that made his heart race. He didn't know if she was okay or hu
Seeing her become speechless, Niel smirked and just walked towards his bedroom again. She was so frustrated that she grabbed an empty wine bottle and threw it toward the television in the living room. The cracking sound of the screen made Niel panic and he ran back to the living room to check on her. He saw her grab another few wine bottles and try to throw them on the television again, just like before. She was acting like a lunatic and so he quickly hugged her body from behind, locking both her arms from moving to stop her violence. "You don't know shit! You don't know what it's like to be me! You don't know shit about me! I'm fucking tired of you! I fucking hated you! I fucking hated living with you!" She shouted frantically while struggling to free herself from him. Niel grabbed her body firm and even tighter, slowly had his eyes reddened and his cheeks felt hot. He didn't know why he was so angry at her yet felt hurt at the same time while looking at her losing her sanity. Hayle
Ashley gasped in disbelief at her words. She stared at Niel and saw the change in his expression. He looked absolutely grim. But Haylee simply looked relaxed as if she was not even in trouble.'So, what would happen if Haylee fails the subject?' Niel thought. Surely, one thing led to another. She would probably deliberately fail the other subjects too so she would need to repeat the first semester. If that happens, she would be moved to a new batch of students next semester and she won't be in the same class with him anymore for the next five semesters. And if somehow Haylee refuses to repeat the first semester and quit Kingston, she could appeal to get into Hudson University for July intake. She was being clever to him. She knew how to threaten him now too. In short, Niel could not afford to kick her out of the group and make her fail the subject, or else he would be the one at loss here. Slowly he released her arm and let her go reluctantly."Exactly," Haylee said arrogantly and wal
Haylee could feel her cheeks turn hot due to the embarrassment. The hall turned silent for split seconds with a lot of eyes staring at her. Niel boldly beckoned her to come to him. Haylee slowly walked down the stair pathway to go to the front. But then she noticed the mad looks Ashley and Linda gave her. She stopped unconsciously, reevaluating her choice whether she should go to Niel or not. It was obvious he wanted her in. In fact, it was not just Ashley and Linda who were looking at her hatefully right now. Haylee noticed that some other students were looking at her disdainfully too, probably those who had asked Niel to take them into his group before but got rejected."Why are you just standing there? Come here," Niel rebuked her gently, beckoning her to come to him again."Niel, how about if we just take Linda? Haylee didn't seem like she wanted to be in our group," Ashley suggested bravely."Why are you deciding for her?" Niel rebuked her coldly, totally a different treatment co
"Do you really think that I won't have a spare key card?" He ridiculed her and took out another key card from his pocket.She scoffed at him instantly. 'I knew it. He would never let me have my own privacy,' she muttered inwardly and just put the key card inside her backpack."That's not fair. I thought it was supposed to be my own place," she said deliberately to show her dissatisfaction."How is that not fair? You had access to my penthouse as well," Niel replied with a chuckle."Is this mean that I'll be living alone for real now? Can Martha live with me?" Haylee asked. Deep down inside, she was anticipating for that to happen for real. "No. I never said that. You're going to still be living with me, in my penthouse, our house. That condo unit was just for emergency. We're going to be studying here for three years. I'm sure at some point your friends or my friends would want to visit our place. So we need a split residence for that. Aren't you the one who didn't want people to kno
"Anyway, your food looked tasty. How long had you known Haylee?" Lily asked more. Her questions were all over the place, non-relating to each other."Hmm..." Niel was about to speak but the woman asked him some more."Haylee said her brother was rich. You're close with her, so you must know her brother too, right?""Brother?" He knitted his brows in confusion and instantly looked at Haylee. She met his eyes and made a poker face at him, silently sending a signal to that guy to go along with her lies."Yeah. Haylee brought a lot of expensive makeup to class, so we asked her how she was rich. She said she had a rich brother," Lily explained cluelessly."Right..." Niel nodded while giving Haylee a playful glare. 'So now I become her rich brother,' he muttered internally."Of course, I know her brother. We're partners," Niel added the lies."Partners?" Now Lily and Haylee said in unison."Yeah. Haylee's brother worked with me. I sent him abroad to handle some projects. He won't come back
"He was the one I'm talking about before. He's my former classmate during high school," Haylee said."Damn, girl! You got into the wrong gang. We're obviously out of your league," Bruno quipped at her and the rest just chuckled in agreement."Are you together with him? He seemed close with you," Lily asked. She suddenly turned into this kind of over-friendly girl to Haylee."We're just normal friends," Haylee avoided telling them the truth."Bring us together for lunch. Introduce him to me please..." Lily begged. She never would have imagined it getting an opportunity to know Niel in person."You don't even want to know his name first?" Haylee teased her and the girl laughed shyly."His name was Nathaniel Anderson. We called him Niel during high school," Haylee said deliberately to let them all know.A while later, the lecturer came into the lecture hall. He was Professor Damien, an old man in his late forties. As soon as he entered the hall, he went directly to Niel and had a handsha
Weeks passed and they finally started college at the end of February. After the orientation week ended, all the undergraduates at Kingston University started their first class the following week. Haylee and Niel pretty much acted like strangers at college. Niel drove by himself to class even though they were going to the same destination because he sometimes would need to go to the company during his free time if his presence was necessary there. So, Haylee too was the same. She drove by herself to classes using the red Ferrari car that Niel gave her during Christmas last year.After coping with her depression about not going to Hudson for a few weeks, Haylee slowly learned to accept her fate of going to Kingston. She tried to look at the bright side. Home was not far, so she didn't need to think about paying to live in a hostel. And surely, if she was somehow in trouble, Niel was around to help her fix it. Her life was easier that way.She attended her first lecture wearing designer
