All Chapters of Poor Heir Millionaire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

He stood there next to me at the bar, charmingly attending to a group of girls who swooned over his spectacular appearance.I had to admit it, Rhys was the most handsome guy I had met in the past week... well, the only good-looking one who had ever set foot in that stupid and secluded bar.Yes, since I had entered that place, everyone I once thought was attractive suddenly lost their charm. Rhys, if that was indeed his real name – I still had my doubts – had turned my life upside down in just seven days.Unbelievable, right?Not only was his appearance striking – a bit taller than me, with reddish-brown hair and caramel-colored eyes – but his personality was a whirlwind of surprises. He was always smiling despite the difficulties he had mentioned days ago, difficulties I no longer bothered to remember.He was a cheerful guy, as far as I could see, talkative like no other, and a womanizer, a complete charmer.Those were the three things I had observed about him in the past few days, an

It was the only day off I had after a long month of work, and what I had most wished for during this awaited day was to stay in my bed sleeping.Perhaps on the couch, watching the bad movies on television, or simply doing anything that came to mind. However, it had to be something far from the annoying happiness that emanated from Rhys's aura.Unfortunately, to my dismay, I couldn't do any of what I longed for internally, not even in the slightest. An inventive brown-haired guy with a dazzling smile had woken me up very early to tell me about the plans he had for both of us that day."We're going on a double date," he announced while washing dishes next to me, drying them with a cloth to leave them shining in their respective places."What do you mean 'we'?" I chuckled nervously. "That sounds like a herd to me.""Come on, Lucy!" he muttered with a quite serious expression, leaving me petrified in my place with his sudden change of attitude. "One girl is for me, and she'll bring a frie

His eyes sought something I couldn't even comprehend; he wanted answers I couldn't give him because, at that moment, I didn't even know them myself."Why not?""I couldn't.""It's none of my business what you do or don't do with your life, Jack.""But you seem very angry, Lucy," he said, crestfallen, indicating that he hadn't achieved his goal due to my emotional state."I always am," I sighed, rolling my eyes."If you're jealous, you can tell me.”"Good night!" I murmured amidst laughter.That last thing I had said seemed so silly at the time, but if I thought about it more deeply and tied up all the loose ends, maybe it was a bit true, but I didn't even understand it.I couldn't decipher my emotions because my mind was a sea of tangles I preferred not to give much importance to since they weren't useful to me at any moment.That night I dreamt the same thing over and over again. His hands roamed my body despite my pleas; his lips invaded mine even when I pushed him far away from me.

Jack looked at me utterly lost, his face full of questions, as I gazed at him fixedly.Without knowing exactly what to invent, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind, a bit embarrassed that he caught me so quickly:"Why did you study medicine?""I like helping people," he replied with a bright smile before jumping to his feet, ready to wash his plate."You can help in other ways.""Well, it was my destiny to be a doctor. Whether I wanted to or not, I was going to be one. Therefore, I had to learn to love what I do, kicking and screaming.""You wouldn't study something else?" I muttered, giving intense thought to what he said so calmly."I couldn't even if I wanted to.""Your life is so complicated," I whispered, walking to the kitchen. It was my turn to wash the dishes, so we continued chatting while I finished."That's why you should love what you do. Besides, being a doctor isn't so bad.""If you say so," I mumbled, shrugging indifferently. Anyway, it was his life, and I co

Despite my effusive affection and all those uncontrollable tears bathing my face, Jack squeezed me just the same, bringing me even closer to his endearing body. One that fit wonderfully with mine, as if they had been created perfectly for each other.He didn't bother to push me away, nor did he part his lips; I didn't even want to break that magical reunion, under the starry night generously offered by the sky.However, something inside me told me that perhaps it was a complete farce, a play of my brain due to the amount of alcohol I had consumed at Cody's house.Despite feeling him so close to me, I couldn't believe it."Did you really come back?" I murmured between his arms, somewhat afraid of his answer. "I'm not dreaming, right?""Of course not, idiot," he replied, releasing soft laughter. "It's me.""Why did you come back?" I asked confused, inhaling the delicious scent of his jacket, a mix of cigarettes and brand perfume, the perfect fusion to make me delirious in a matter of se
