All Chapters of The Billionaire Rejected Me : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Darks or Lights?""Huh?" I looked at Ashley, who was standing near the Top Shelf Liquor section of the bar. She's there to assist the bartender.I met Ashley earlier when I started my job here at the club as a waitress. She's a waitress too, but over time, Ruru assigned her to handle the expensive drinks."Lisa! Were you not listening to my explanation earlier?" She waved the black cloth she was holding in front of my face. "Top Shelf Liquor can be divided into two categories! Darks and Lights. The Darks include Scotch, Brandy, and Whiskey, while the Lights are Gin, Tequila, and Vodka," she explained once again.I nodded to move the conversation along, her words were barely audible over the DJ's music and the people dancing on the floor.She's the only person who calls me Lisa. She said Cali sounds too common, Cal makes me sound like a guy, she doesn't like Lis because it's too short, and Lista makes me sound like a list of debts.Lisa it is.We're both wearing the same clothes, skin

The chilling night breeze sent shivers down my spine. It's almost eleven, and I'm outside the club, feeling uneasy. I quicken my pace down the dimly lit street, the shadows of the buildings offering no comfort.I talked to Ruru about what happened earlier, and he advised me to rest and go home. Maybe I'm just stressed.I'm grateful that the club manager understands, and she's really kind. Otherwise, I might have lost my job.I told Mike and the manager that I'll pay for the broken bottle, but they insisted on deducting it from my salary. I agreed, since it was my fault.I forgot to bring a jacket or a hoodie in case it rains. It gets really cold at night, and I'm only wearing a thin baby blue t-shirt and fitted jeans. I changed my clothes earlier, I didn't want to go home in that outfit.I'm looking for a ride to Irithel's house to pick up my son, who's probably wondering where I am.I can't bear to see my son cry, but I'd rather let him cry than let him go hungry.I caused a lot of e

Those fierce magnetic eyes held mine in a very ferocious way. The music kept pulsating, and the dancing lights continued to sparkle, but some people did stop in their tracks."Daddy, ahm—Momma! Momma, Daddy—I wanna go to Daddy..." he kicked his little feet in the air while pointing at Lazarus, as if he wanted me to go there or he wanted me to put him down on the floor so he could run to his father, who was calmly seated on a round sofa with his so-called cousins.I saw Lazarus get up, causing the girl who was sitting on his lap to almost fall. She seemed annoyed by his sudden action.Every pair of eyes now judging us affected me more than the humiliation I caused earlier.When Lazarus and I locked eyes again, I wasted no time and quickly walked to where Ashley was."Ash! Please, help me," I nervously pleaded as I first sat Zon on the counter right in front of me."Momma! I saw Daddy! Let's go to Daddy!" he was still kicking the air and pointing to who was behind me now. He was so rest

Chapter 17It's been two days since we've been here at Lazarus' condo.For the sake of my son, I stayed.During these two days, Lazarus did nothing but immerse himself in his laptop. He's always in the kitchen, seated at the six-seat dining table.My Mom called yesterday to say she sent money, but I couldn't go out.So, I decided to text Ashley since we exchanged numbers the first time we got close. I messaged her to claim the money and also to ask for three days off from work, since Lazarus didn't allow me to work last night.I really don't know what his problem is. It's like he's keeping me and my son here against our will.I know he only needs his son, and he's only reluctantly keeping me here because that's what Luzon wants. He can't get rid of me because Luzon might go with me.So, this is what he's doing to me.I need to save up quickly so I can rent even just a small room that would be enough for me and my son. But it seems like I won't be able to save up right away because of

Chapter 19"Brother, may I borrow your son for a while?"Zon has been clinging to Laki's lower thigh as if he didn't want to let go.It's three in the afternoon, and Zon just woke up from his nap around one in the afternoon when we suddenly heard the sound of the doorbell. When I opened the door, I saw Laki.He didn't even seem surprised to see me and my son here."Daddy, puh-lease?" Zon tightened his hug around Laki's thigh like a monkey, but my son was just too cute and adorable to be compared to a monkey."Laki, if I find out my son got involved in human trafficking, you won't leave this cell," Lazarus' stern voice filled the entire kitchen as he worked on his laptop.He's not shirtless this time. He's wearing a white tank top and grey sweatpants that look like he just finished exercising. His biceps were so prominent, almost begging me to touch them, but there's no way I would ever do that.I still haven't forgotten what happened yesterday, so I covered my neck with my hair, which
