All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Affair: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Be careful of him Bella, he’s a disgusting freak, you shouldn’t associate yourself with him,” Aiden said, and I looked at his friends who were quiet, but I could tell that they agree with him. But why? “You’re being harsh Aiden, you shouldn’t talk to someone like that,” I reprimanded him. I thought he would calm down but it made him even angrier. “Why are you defending him!?” “Because you’re being an asshole!” Aiden’s brows were pressed together as he gazed at me, it seems he wants to say something, but in the end, he decided to just leave away with heavy steps. … “What was that about?” I asked his friends but they all just shook their heads as they looked Asher. “Why don’t you ask him,” Leon said, looking at Asher. Both him and Therese followed Aiden, and now I was left with Asher, and I really hope he could give me an answer, since I have lots of questions for him. “Are you okay?” I approached him, and he just stiffly

“Good morning,” Hayden greeted me as he sipped his coffee while skimming at a stack of papers in the dining table. “Hi,” I replied, settling into the seat on his right as the maids began serving breakfast. “How’s school with Aiden so far?” He asked casually, his eyes still on the paper. “It’s been fine,” I answered curtly, not wanting to have a lengthy conversation with him. I could feel his gaze shifting toward me, but I pretended not to notice, not wanting to feed this unhealthy feelings I have towards him. It’s not like this is anything serious. How long have I even known him? You can’t possibly get attached to someone you’ve barely scratched the surface with, right? “I heard he had an altercation with someone yesterday,” Hayden said, lowering the papers, “Do you know something about it?” "I’m not sure I should be the one to—" My words faltered when Aiden entered the room, his eyes locking onto mine almost

After a long three hour lecture the bell finally rang. The exhaustion hit me like a wave. Imagine, this was just the first day! The professor hadn’t even bothered with introductions, he immediately dived straight into teaching. I guess he is the kind of person who doesn’t like to waste time. “Before you leave,” The professor’s voice cut through the chatter. “I will give you all your first task in my subject.” The prof. said, and groans instantly erupted across the room.“Quiet!” He snapped, his weathered face etched with disappointment. “No need to make a fuss, this is an easy one, but I will require you to have a partner for this which I already made last night. I’ll send to you all the details in your school email account.” He said without waiting for further protests, shaking his head he gathers his materials and strode out.I packed out quickly, eager to escape, when an obnoxious sound came from beside me.“Psst…” I ignored him, pretending I didn’

The day ended in a blur. I waited for Aiden in the parking lot as we had agreed, but he was still not here. I was curious what was going on with him. I remembered he had basketball practice, so I headed to the gymnasium to check. When I got there, it was already empty. Disappointed, I turned my heels around and decided to just wait for him in the car but then I heard a loud sound. Instinctively, I followed the noise, my curiosity peaking. I walked and when I was turning in a corner near the restrooms, I froze when I saw Asher talking with someone. His face was filled with fresh tears. His eyes riddled with pain. I was about to walk away, not wanting to intrude, but then I noticed a reflection in the glass wall.Aiden.What were they doing here alone? Oh my God! Aiden might be bullying him again! This idiot!I was about to intervene to put a stop to it, but Asher's broken voice resonated in the quiet room, stopping me.“You,” he said, trembling, his voice low and strained. Asher’s h

“Bella, hey!” Aiden’s voice broke through my thoughts as he snapped his fingers in front of my face. I blinked, startled, and looked at him. He was staring at me like I had completely lost it.“What?”“Did you even hear a single word I said to you just now?” He asked, raising an eyebrow. Oh? Was he talking to me? “Sorry, I spaced out, what were you saying?”“I was asking if you could go to the mall with me. I need to buy something, and I could use your help,” he repeated patiently.It was Saturday, and my original plan involved sprawling on my bed all day, doing absolutely nothing. The thought of going out made me hesitate. There was also the chance of running into Hayden since he usually does his work I this office during weekends, and after what happened last night, I wasn’t ready to face him.I was trying to collect my thoughts especially with what he said last night. Thinking about it still makes me want to scream
