What is wrong with the rich?

Raina gulps, wipes her puffy eyes and nervously adjusts her suit trousers "I was speaking on a friend's behalf. Don't think much of what you heard because it's nothing related to my circumstances" she rushed out with a pleading tone, knowing how corny the spoiled brats can be. 

Every single mistake from you matters to them.

Jude's heart thumps funnily the moment her eyes meet with his. All the time she was sprouting words to cover up her situation, he watched the movement of her lips. It was an inducement at first sight. 

The cigarette didn't make him feel good from the bad morning which was primarily provoked by a paramount argument with his parents regarding his studies. He was frustrated that nothing seemed to go the way he wanted, but surprisingly, Raina's perfect pouty lips seemed to be the dose he could consume to make him feel good. 

He doesn't like the feeling but he couldn't deny his wish. 

Jude groans internally and quickly feigns a nasty expression. Normally, he would have grabbed this opportunity as a means to satisfy his tricky attitude, but he was much more interested in her, not her situation, and of course, whatever he laid his eyes on, belonged to him. He has always had that possessive and arrogant attitude from childhood. His pride soars. It goes beyond the clouds and aside from that, he believes no woman can reject him. 

Raina gaped at him for his lack of communication. He had been silent for some minutes after her blabbering. She watches the way his jaws thicken and observes his sight on her lips. 

She recognized him to be Jude Bellingham, the heir to Bellingham corporations and also the young, famous, and influential dancer. He looks more muscular than a normal high schooler but is indeed an epitome of ethereal handsomeness. 

Slowly, her bad mood was erased and superseded with admiration. 

She wasn't the type that gets flipped by some dude but….., Raina blinked out of her trance the moment Jude's face moved inches closer. She glared at him immediately after she realized the reality of what was going on and the tension. Her face was as red as a freshly plucked cherry. Embarrassed was an understatement but Jude was rather amused. He moved closer and Raina took a step backward till her back hit the wall. 

She was mute which was unusual. 

"What are you…" she was saying but got cut off by Jude slamming his lips on hers after he let out a deep groan. He sucked on her lip in a hard tug, while Raina struggled to get out of his grip. 

Jude flung her phone and pinned her two hands upward. He pulled out of her mouth and it allowed Raina to spit on his face "This is sexual harassment, Jude!" she screamed, breathing heavily and trembling tremendously. She unclasped her hands from his and aggressively wiped her lips and irritatedly spit on the ground again.

Jude grits his teeth hard, wipes off the spit beneath his nose with his handkerchief, and blinks severally. His eyes were bloodshot. Out of guilt, he couldn't dare to meet the beautiful eyes of hers as it was now glowing in fury. 

Jude gulped and raised his shoulder like he wasn't bothered by her outrage. "I am not sorry," he smirked, proudly tucked his hand in his pockets, and turned around to walk away.

A loud unbelievably scoff escaped Raina's lips. She wanted to do so many things to teach the brat a lesson including punching his face but she couldn't. It was an unbearable feeling because she was limited.

She couldn't believe her first kiss was snatched by a sexual harasser. 

"You will regret this" she let out with a shaky voice.

Jude stopped in his tracks after taking three steps, "You will be the one regretting sugar baby. The moment you open your mouth in the name of taking legal action is the moment your life will turn worse."

"Is this how you behave here? How confident are you? You just touched me without my permission and that same legal action is what I will take" she let out angrily. Her inner body was burning in anger.

"The only person that can assist you is your sugar daddy," Jude muttered and turned around. His eyes squinted at her daring personality. No one goes against him but she is doing exactly that which prickled his interest. 

Raina's eyes squinted in ignorance and it made Jude chuckle amusingly "Your Sugar daddy, the man that assisted you " he pointed at her accusingly. "An ordinary high school graduate into an influential school to be an assistant instructor. Oops! Do you even graduate from High school? Your sugar daddy must be extremely wealthy." He nods his head.

"That is your only chance but yet, it's an iceberg to the influence your story will make on your well-being and that of your lover. I will pay bloggers and will give them your pictures too. Starting from netizens and my die-hard fans naming you an attention seeker to you being a gold digger. You will be alive and wish you were dead the moment you report this." He said, indicating to him kissing her.

"Try me and I will deal with you." he groans intimidatingly and coldly before walking away. 

"You think you can manipulate me? You will be the one alive and wishing for death the moment I will deal with you" Raina shakingly calls after him but he has walked too far. 

"What just happened?" Raina questions herself once Jude is out of sight. She recklessly staggered to pick up her phone. She wipes her mouth again and breathes out heavily.

"It didn't happen. That was nothing" she repeated continuously and strolled out of the garden dejectedly.

Two weeks later~~~~~

It had been a tough week for Raina. She was reluctant to go to Dream High due to the challenges she was facing with the students, and also terrified to go home because of the nagging from her father who is her only parent as her mother had died from leukaemia several years ago. 

She was an only child.

Raina had graduated from her dancing school two years ago and couldn't move on to college because of their financial status. It was hard for her and her father and it was the reason she couldn't register for any dance competitions.

She was known as a glorious dancer during her high school days because of her skills and ability to make the audience crave more of her entertainment. 

During her special stage on her graduation day was the moment Gerold Bellingham's eyes caught her. He was amazed by the way her father kept giggling in pure happiness when the M.C. continued to shower praises on her for her talent. Gerold was a special guest on that day and it had been easier for the school to invite him because he was a close friend to the principal. 

Since that day, Gerold Bellingham continued to trace her. He contacted her father and at the same time, changed their life from grass to grace without Raina's notice. She had severally asked her father about the source of their sudden wealth but he kept covering it up by showering her with her wishes. The last surprise her father presented was a job at the most prestigious school in the country which was Dream High. She was beyond happy to be given such an opportunity even though she wasn't a certified dance instructor.

It was all good until her father told her the intention and source behind their sudden wealth which was to get married to Gerold Bellingham who is a younger brother to Jude Bellingham's father. She was depressed for days and was under the pressure of her once-sweet father who kept lecturing her on marrying a man for his wealth.

Raina's father changed totally and wouldn't stop talking about how much he had spent and that the only solution to her not marrying Gerold was to return the money they had spent. She cried day and night and had since then refused to have anything to do with the material things including the car he bought for her. The only exception Raina made was living under the same roof as her father. But he still kept reminding her about her privileged job.

Today Friday, Raina had to wait till evening when all the students had gone home. It had been her normal routine since she dismissed her car. The slightest things are controversial in the school. The staff of their school not having a car is a hot topic of discussion. She wouldn't mind what others have to say but the pressure from them is not good for her mental health, at least for now as her health was at stake talkless of the rumour she heard about a JKING member liking her. 

Raina huffs and stands up. It was evening already. The perfect time to exit. She stretches and yawns tiredly before she strides to the door. Walking a few miles and almost close to the bus station, a luxurious car suddenly halted at her front and it earned a raised eyebrow from the people waiting also.

What is always wrong with rich people?

Raina thought.
