MARRYING A RUTHLESS BEAST FIFTY NINE
Today is my first day at New York University. I walk along the corridor of my new campus, feeling slightly nervous about the new atmosphere, but mostly excited about this new chapter of life. Drake left earlier in the morning because he had football practice. I can't wait to watch his team plays. Already liking the air here, I inhale a deep breath, a smile touching my lips. Being a college student brings a new sense of freedom I haven't experienced before. It's like I'm not entirely under my parents' radar anymore. Stepping into my first calculus class, I notice that some students are already taking their seats in the lecture hall. I decide to take one of the front rows. Right. I don't want to miss my first lecture. My other classmates may be way more brilliant than I am. Chill, Cheska. Damn. You're becoming a freak again. I can't help it. It's normal to become nervous on my first day in college, right? While I'm putting out my notebook from my backpack, a girl flops herself on th
MARRYING A RUTHLESS BEAST SIXTY
It has only been two days after my first day at New York University, and here I am, stuck in the house, doing assignments in the living room. I do have much more free time -- compared to when I was in high school -- but there are a lot more modules I have to catch up to. Geez. I wish I could be more laid back and didn't have to be a perfectionist when it comes to studying. I should be strolling around the town with Kyla, perhaps, grabbing some pizzas or going shopping at the mall. I glance at the clock. 11 pm. Where is Drake? He's not back yet, and I don't remember him telling me that he had a football practice today. Maybe he's having a date. I blow a sigh, placing my chin on the table. The doorbell rings, and my mood brightens up. Here he comes. 'Coming." I hum, tottering toward the door. When I open it, I'm surprised to find Prince standing by the door. "Hey." He smirks, and I feel butterflies in my stomach. The fact that he's wearing a white shirt with a black leather jacket

I'm on my way to make breakfast when I decide to check on Drake again. After what happened last night, I'm pretty sure that he'll have a hangover once he wakes up. The morning sun has risen, casting its ray upon his face. He's still sleeping. I climb on the bed and sit beside him, staring at him, crossing my arms on my chest. Then his eyelids flicker, and a few moments later, he opens his eyes. He abruptly sits up and backs off, his back smacking the headboard. "You're scaring me," he barks. I must have looked like a ghost. "Spill it." I glower at him. "What?" he rasps, squinting his eyes before squeezing them shut. He curses. His head must be spinning. "Last night," I say. "What was that all about?" He groans, touching his head. "Shit. I was knocked out, wasn't I?" "Uh-huh." "I got carried away." "For what?" I ask. "What celebration?" I go straight to the point. He laughs, closing his eyes, looking like he doesn't even believe that it's happening. "My internship." My eyes

"Did you get in?" Drake's voice echoes through the speaker as I talk with him on the phone while doing my energy balance assignment on my bed. It has been six days since he left, and I'm still surviving in my early weeks of college. "Nope," I say. "I changed my mind. I didn't audition for it." "Why?" He sounds surprised. "I thought you liked it." "I do." I sigh. "I'd love to play the piano with a full orchestra. But there's this guy from South Korea who is so good. And I'm nothing compared to him”. I laugh. “You’re joking right?” He pauses. ‘’ You didn’t really want it’’. “ The team seems so driven. They participate in a lot of competitions. I don’t think I can do it. I don’t want to play with such pressure. Let me just enjoy playing it as a hobby”. I grin “As you wish, Ches.” Drake laughs. “How’s study so far?” "So far so good," I say, biting my pen as I scan the rest of my homework. "But there's this research the lecturer asked us to do, and it's quite challenging." I hate it

I get up from the couch, and my gaze darts on the thing lying on the armchair. It's Prince's notebook. Wondering if it's something important that he forgot to bring, I walk closer to it. I feel guilty for looking into other people's stuff, but there's something urgent kicking inside me. I take the book and flip through the pages. Then my eyes widen. It's all about the presentation to get into the internship. He's written the notes here and there. The important points, the conclusions and what he has to say to convince the company. No. No. No. I gulp, and even my hand starts to shake. This can't be happening. He forgot to bring it with him. How could he? He must have been in a hurry. I snap my head towards the clock. I have less than an hour until the presentation. Without thinking further, I decide to bring the book to him. My hand grips the steering wheel so hard that my knuckles turn white. The traffic lights change to red, and I curse, beating the steering wheel again for God

While I'm sitting at the sushi bar, I lick my lips. My eyes follow the sushi plates lining up and moving in front of me. They all look so tempting. In a heartbeat, I grab one plate that has salmon sashimi. I'm pouring the soy sauce over it when I feel Prince gaze on me. I turn my head towards him and find him staring at me in amusement. "What?" I ask him nonchalantly and waste no time to put the food into my mouth with the chopsticks. "Nothing." He smiles, still gazing at me. I would be shaking if I allowed myself to be completely affected by Prince Effect, but fortunately, my favorite food is such a good distraction. Tasting the sweet favour of the salmon, I close my eyes, enjoying every bit of it. It tastes like heaven. Even Drake once told me that I ate it like I was in a TV commercial. "You know," Prince begins. "This is quite a sight." I raise my brows. "Usually, girls tend to eat more carefully in front of me," Prince says. "They tried to maintain their image, even some

I take off my lab coat as my first chemistry lab ends. It's been a long session and quite tiring. Tucking the files back into my bag, I wonder how I'll get home later. I guess that I would take the bus, since my car is broken -- I just found out this morning when I couldn't start the engine. "Have you asked someone to fix your car?" Kyla asks beside me, slinging her backpack over her shoulders. Since we're taking the same major, we have many classes together, and I find it pleasing. She's my first friend here. "Nope." I sigh. "Why don't you try to ask Prince?" she asks as we exit the lab. She winks, teasing me, and I roll my eyes. So, this girl here has asked me about how I managed to hand my jaw-dropping assignment to Professor Adams so quickly, and I've told her about Prince. But no, I can't trouble Prince again. I'm well aware that Prince is busy preparing for the football game tomorrow, and I don't want to disturb him. Why do I have to be so clueless about cars? I'm going to
MARRYING A RUTHLESS BEAST SIXTY SIX
Tears brimming my vision, I stare at Prince storming in our direction. I can't believe that someone actually comes to save me. The sick, perverted psychopath abruptly lets go of me, pushing me to the wall. He wastes no time to run off, leaving me here with mouth agape, shaking on the ground. "Don't you dare, you asshole." Prince is ready to run after him, but when he sees the state that I'm in, he stops dead in his track. He freezes. I can see that he's shocked by how I look. My head pulses with sharp pain, and I wince, touching my forehead. Then I find blood on my palm. My forehead is apparently bleeding from the smack against the brick wall. "Jesus, Ches -- " he rasps before his jaw tightens, and I can even see his eyes burning with rage before he snaps his head back toward the bastard running away. "No," I cry out, stopping him before he can move further to catch the bastard. "D-don't leave me," I stutter. I can barely speak after what happened. I don't want to be left alone i
