In Love With You Chapter 19: To Earn Good Points
....By late afternoon, Layla had woken up and was in high spirits.After having her lunch and dinner, she went outside. She still has some energy to go outside. When I asked her if she was going to party without money, she flicked my forehead."I am a party goer before because I am rich. But now I am poor. So I am going outside to collect debts. I have a long list of people who owed me money anyway."Then I remembered the times when Layla splashed her money on her so-called friends and the so-called friends' friends. As a part of her rebellion-slash-wasting her father's money- she was throwing money everywhere and letting those people borrow from her regardless of the amount."Do you have IOUs or some contracts as proofs?" I asked.Layla rolled her eyes. "I am still clear-headed when they ripped me off. Not only do I have paper proofs, but I also have some recordings." She waved her phone at me. "Besides, even without these, I am confident I can get back my money. My fist could speak
In Love With You Chapter 20: Completely Lost
Kane doesn't understand that this situation was the best chance to show his good points. It's not that I want to sell my only best friend, but compared to other men taking this opportunity, it was better for Kane to get it. But he wanted to play incognito! Is he stupid?I really want to smack his head. It was alright for him to do this when there was no competition around, I would even applaud him. But with the presence of Eduardo, I don't think laying low would do him good. Who knows if that wolf Eduardo would start hunting Layla by giving her baits?Just recalling the scene where Layla arrived at the house wearing Eduardo's jacket made me have a premonition that something arises between the two. There's no way Eduardo won't let this opportunity pass and harbor deep connections with Layla."Fine, don't regret it in the end!" Kane just shrugged, "I am just helping her. There's no need for me to regret it."His lassitude response made me grit my teeth. This man doesn't know what he
In Love With You Chapter 21: A Bet
Layla took Eduardo's job offer. And she would start tomorrow after class. I can't persuade her anymore because the job offer was really good. But the problem was-her boss. I stared at Eduardo who kidnapped- I mean- fetched Layla after our class ended. I could see the smirk on the man's face. Eduardo was happy. I harrumphed inside. He might have won today but next time, he won't have a chance. "Hey, that's Eduardo Calvano and Layla Pearson, right? Why are Eduardo and Layla together? Are they going out?" One of the girls who witnessed the scene gossiped. "It's not yet been a week since Eduardo came here. And Layla already pounced on him. That slut." I frowned. "I saw that she was flirting with Josh before but now she quickly latched on another man. She's disgusting." "Josh? Do you mean the Josh who is a part of a gang in the racer club? The club that is doing illegal stuff?" "Yeah. I even saw them at the party together. Her taste is really terrible. She likes to latch on t
In Love With You Chapter 22: Scare
It was around three in the afternoon when I arrived at the Golden Mansion. It was quite early and I bet I am the only one who goes like this. After school ended, there was nowhere for me to go except for the house. This is my routine. School and Home. Looking at the garage, no one has arrived yet except for me. Well, the others have someplace to go to after class. Gabrielle was athletic and active in her club. If she was not in her club, she would be busy dating other men to capture Levi's attention. While Levi has a girlfriend. So he was either spending time with his girlfriend or he was in his father's company. As an heir, he often drops by to his father's company. The two of them would usually be back at midnight. There's no need to mention Layla. She was often out and would be back at dawn. Eduardo who recently joined the group was so busy that he never stayed in the golden mansion for the night. I only see him come here mainly because of Layla. The only person who would arr
In Love With You Chapter 23: Is he worried?
"Stella! Are you alright?" He came to my side and looked me up and down. I was too stunned to answer. How come he arrived so early? After checking that I am alright, he sighed in relief. His eyes...looked worried. Was he worried about me? He was sweating too...did he run all the way here? The security recognized him and greeted him. They briefly informed him about what happened here. As he listened, his eyes darkened. "How come you are here?" I asked after the security finished briefing him. Kane looked at me with a frown. His eyes stopped at the blood on my pants. His frown deepened. I wondered if those creases on his brows would leave deep marks when he grew old. "Gabrielle messaged me that you called. She was waiting for your reply but you did not send anything. She thought it was urgent so she messaged me instead. Why didn't you message her that something big happened? And why didn't you contact me directly or Layla? Are you trying to carry the burden by yourself and w
In Love With You Chapter 24: A Team of Two
I put down the tea and shook my head. "He was wearing a cap. When he bumped into me he just lowered his head and ran away. His physique...I think he is somewhat in his twenties. I thought he was one of the staff who got easily flustered when meeting the tenants." I played with my fingers as I replayed that scene over and over again. But I could not find anything that could be a clue. Oh right. The note. "The note said it is 'retribution for all of us' what could it be?" Kane also thought about it. "Did we have done something that implicated someone? But we never moved as a group." Kane was right. All heirs lived under the same house- except for Eduardo who only often come by- but we never moved as one. We just mind our own business and live our daily life without much interacting with each other. If there was an event that all of us are in the same place that would be some important events that our family forced us to attend. But we also did not stand close to each other or m
In Love With You Chapter 25: A Ship that will never sail
In the end, it was one against five. It was decided I would team up with Kane. My choice doesn't matter. After the discussion, I wanted to talk about this with Kane and pointed out to him what went wrong. However, Layla, who was worried about me, accompanied me the whole day. "How about your work?" I asked her. She had been sticking with me all day long and I even have a premonition that this woman would even sleep together with me. "Eduardo cancel the schedules. Don't worry, I am still paid. Today, I am all yours." "..." And as I thought that night, Layla took her pillow and wanted to accompany me to sleep. I looked at her bewildered. "I am not a child. I don't need you to sleep with me." Layla ignored my complaints and put her pillow on the bed. "Common, we sleep in the same bed since middle school. Just because you got your own room now you won't sleep with me anymore." I rolled my eyes at her for her poor acting. She just worried I would not be able to sleep peacefully bec
In Love With You Chapter 26: Sudden Generosity
She looked for me in that big house. It was only when she met my sister, Anna, and interrogated her that she learned of my whereabouts. At that time, I was locked in the music room with several sheets opened. I was forced to memorize them and practice the music piece over and over again. Only if I perfected all of them I would be let out of the room. Even if it takes days, weeks, or months, I would not be able to leave until I am confident to play every piece. Virginia even placed a small mattress in the corner of the room so that I could sleep there. The music room has its own restroom. My food would be delivered. As Virginia said at that time, everything I need was inside the room and there was no need for me to go out. 'Just concentrate and practice.' For a ten-year-old to be alone in that room with only a bed, musical instruments, and music sheets, without anyone to talk to was traumatizing. It was torture. I could only hug Elizabeth and cried and beg my parents to let me ou
