All Chapters of I Bet You Can't: Chapter 81 - Chapter 88

I shake my head and stare across the cafeteria table at Brandon.  “My gut is telling me it is someone close.  I hate to admit this, but I think it is someone really close to us.  I’m hoping I’m wrong.  I work very hard to only have trustworthy and reliable people around me, but this all seems a little too personal.” He presses his lips together.  “I understand what you are saying, but I still don’t believe it is someone who is close to us.  I can vouch for Kai.  He would never do anything like this.  You already know David is livid about everything that has happened, so you know it isn’t him.  Plus, he doesn’t have anything to gain by doing it.” He glances around the almost completely empty area before he turns back to me.  “I still put odds on it being your parents or the girl who they wanted you to marry.  You were too pissed off and were shooting daggers are your parents to notice the look in the girl’s eyes.&

I wrap my arm around Alex’s waist and rest my chin on his shoulder.  I softly ask, “Babe, are you alright?  You haven’t been talking much the last few days or bickering with Chance.”He hasn’t been doing a lot of things since we left that meeting with his parents.  I called my parents to let them know what had happened, and my mother showed up the next day and spoiled him.  Even though she was able to get him to smile, the spark in his eyes was still gone. I have lost count of the number of times she told him she is his mother and no one else matters.  However, I can understand how Alex is still fixated on his parents picking their business over their family and him.  I can’t even imagine the pain he is going through. Later, Brandon’s father confessed he would have helped them had they said they wanted Alex over any business deal.  Unfortunately, now, his parents are stuck d

I walk into the cafeteria with my head held high and my smirk shining bright.  This is the day I’ve been waiting for.  Today, we will end this headache and teach the person a lesson. With a spring in my step, I stride over to our usual table.  I nod at the additional engineering students at and around our table. My smirk grows bigger as a spark dances around in my eyes as I greet my friends.  “Hey, guys.  Are you ready for this?”Brandon flashes me a brilliant smile as he nods.  “I’m ready.  My  father has everyone on standby and waiting for our signal.  Then they will end everything for us.”I nod and sit down next to David.  I give him a quick kiss on the cheek.  “Hey, babe.  Did you miss me?”He turns and smiles back at me.  “Yes, I did.  Are you going to give me something special to ease my frustrations for wai

My stomach flutters as I look into the mirror.  The day has finally come, and much faster than I had originally planned, but I’m not afraid.  I want it this way. I scan my reflection from head to toe and make sure nothing is out of place.  My white tuxedo almost glows, while my hair is shines.  I move my black tie a little until it is just where I want it.  The corners of my mouth curl upward and I softly whisper, “Perfect.” Chance walks into the room and grunts, “Of course you look perfect.  I wouldn’t expect anything less.”  He marches upside me and stares at me through the mirror.  “I still can’t believe you have actually given up your Casanova title and all the girls.  But I’m glad you have finally found your true happiness.  Too bad your grandparents aren’t here to see you, though.  However, I’m sure they are looking down upon you, though, and are cheering for you.” Paul steps into the room a
