Fury consumes my whole body, as I get to know about Aiden and Ethan's friendship. My eyes land on Ethan as soon as he enters the cafeteria—his eyes meet mine. Every person present there gathers him, and starts asking void questions.“Ethan, how did you manage to impress her? Tell us the secret.” My jaw tightens as their voices pass through my ears. Ethan smirks witnessing my rage. He must be enjoying all the attention he's getting because of me. Controlling my wrath, I roll my eyes and sit down on my seat with Emily. As we begin to eat, students gather around us. “Belle, when did you both start dating?” a girl asks out of the blue.Tightening my grip on the spoon, I glare into her eyes. “He's not my boyfriend,” I say. “Oh, come on. Everyone heard what Ethan said a few minutes ago. Don't lie now,” she says. “He's lying,” I shoot a quick response; her brows furrow as she asks, “Why would he lie?”Because he wants to see my boyfriend, whom I'm hiding from everyone. “I don't care what

As I open my eyelids, I can see a stunning full moon through the window. All of a sudden, someone wraps a hand around my waist, pulling me closer from behind. My pulse quickens, the heat rising to my cheeks. “Aiden…” I say, anticipating his touch. He starts trailing kisses on my neck softly from behind; I shut my eyes and tilt my head giving him space—his touch sending shivers down my spine. As he caresses my arms, I feel his arousal against my back—his kisses turning more wild and intense on the crook of my neck, making my desires grow more for him. “Ahh…Aiden…” My voice trembles under his touch. “I can feel you trembling. Tell me what you need, Belle,” he whispers in my ear—his voice husky and deep. As he turns my body slightly to face him, I open my eyes, staring down at my feet. My heart beat increases, my chest heaving up and down. I can feel his warm breath as he leans on me to capture my lips.

Before going to the dorm room, I think of going to the library before it gets closed. I tug a book from the bookshelf and my eyes land on Ethan, standing on the other side of the bookshelf. Our eyes meet as he glances down into my eyes.Talking to Aiden about any other guy is as if jumping into a burning fire. Should I talk to Ethan instead of talking to Aiden about it? Should I tell Ethan that my boyfriend is none other but his own best friend. Maybe he'll comprehend.“Mr. Wilson, can we have a talk?” His lips curl into a smile. “I'm dying to have a talk with you anyway.” He comes towards me from the other side of the bookshelf. “Please talk,” he says, his smile showing his excitement to talk to me. I look straight into his eyes, my pulse quickens and stomach grumbles as I utter, “You want to know who my boyfriend is. Right?” He nods his head. “So, if I tell you who my boyfriend is, what will you do then?” I cock my brows. He smirks and steps closer to me. “I'll beat him to death,

In class, Ethan and I are catching each other's glances from time to time. He might be perceiving that I'm going to accept his proposal now. His face is telling that, but he has no idea what I am about to do. After school, I take a shower in a hurry and look for something decent and elegant to wear. I wear a midi flowy dark emerald green dress with long sleeves, pairing it with elegant leather pumps, high quality jewelry, gold necklace, stud earrings, and my all time favorite—Chanel bag. And about my hair, I don't tie it. I always keep my hair in the middle partition. That works for me. “Hey! Are you going on a date?” Emily's sudden arrival in the room catches my attention. “No. I'm just going to meet Ethan casually,” I retort without even glancing at her as I apply my eyeliner with concentration. “Casually…Is it your casual Belle?” she asks, her voice sounding full of astonishment. I cap my eyeliner and avert my gaze to her. “What do you mean?” She glances my body up to toe, h

As I reach inside my dorm room, I sit hopelessly on my bed. To be honest, my mind is still swirling with Max's words. If there is even a little truth in what he said, then I am feeling scared now. How will my relationship with Aiden be in future? Will we separate or will we end up together in the end? I don't know if I love him or not. I will end up with Aiden. No matter what happens. “Belle, you are here. How was the meeting with Ethan?” Emily's voice pulls me back to the present.“Not good,” I reply, without even glancing at her, my head aching because of crying earlier.“Why? And by the way, why did you even go to meet him? You said you have no interest in Ethan.”I gasp and glance up into her eyes. “I went to meet him, because I wanted to give him a check, a one million dollar check.”Her eyes pop out from its sockets. “One. Million. Dollar. Check. Why?” she blurts out.
