Chapter 26The next morningAshley tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time before she finally sat up and ran her fingers through her hair."Why did I do that?" Recalling everything that happened last night, Ashley couldn't help but blame herself for being like that. How did she suddenly become so weak around him that she nearly fell for him? The thought of what would've happened if she hadn't stopped him last night made her cringe. She would've spent the rest of her life regretting it.Brushing all the thoughts to the back of her mind, Ashley stood up from the bed and dragged herself into the bathroom. After her usual morning routine, she got ready for class and left her room. Her heart skipped a beat when she stepped out of her room and ran into Miles. She quickly turned her face away and hastened her steps toward the exit door."Ashley... Ashley," Miles called after her as he walked after her, but she didn't stop to look at him until they were out of the dormitory."What is it, Mi
Chapter 27"We are here," The cabby's voice announced as he pulled over in front of Miles's school. "Thank you," Miles muttered after he paid the man, then alighted from the car and proceeded into the school building.With his hands holding his cross bag which was hung across his body, Miles strode down the walkway that led to his class."He's here,""Miles is here," It suddenly felt as though he had turned into a celebrity as everywhere went silent as soon as he stepped inside the class. He paused and briefly sighed. For a moment, he thought of clearing the air about what happened the other day, but on second thought, Miles felt that it wasn't necessary.As he walked toward his seat, he spotted Jess sitting with Leo, both glaring at him murderously, but he could only care less as they were the least of his problems at that moment. He ignored them and went to take his seat.A few minutes passed before Ms. Kendra, their professor walked inside the class. She was looking as pretty as a
Chapter 28Ms. Kendra checked her wristwatch for the umpteenth time while wondering why Miles was taking almost forever to show up."I'm getting restless," She sank her fingers into her hair and raked it slowly before packing it in a ponytail with a band holding it tightly together.A knock sounded on her door, and she quickly stood up and adjusted herself. "Am I good?" She muttered as she grabbed her phone from the desk and checked her reflection on the dark screen of the phone."I think I'm good," She muttered and breathed in and out before she finally ushered him in.Ms. Kendra's heart flustered when Miles finally walked in, and she felt her pussy already craving her as it twitched excitedly. Miles had been her student for some time now, and all that time she had been nurturing feelings for him. She had tried severally to rebuke the feeling, telling herself that it was wrong because this young man was her student even though he was in every way her kind of man, but he had been so
Chapter 29Miles stood at the side of the road, waiting to haul down a cab. The incident from earlier flashed through his mind, and he scoffed. What if he had fallen for that? He would've fucked her right there in her office? Damn! That was one crazy shit ever.Miles was still trying to get a cab when a familiar black car pulled over in front of him, and he sighed frustratingly as he already recognized who the owner of the car was. It was James again. James stepped out of the car and walked over to him with a pretentious smile on his lips."You shouldn't be standing under the sun. It's going to be difficult to get a cab here. Why don't you hop in so I can drop you off wherever you are going," James uttered politely. "And I'm not going to change my mind. I won't help you plead with Mr. Mario, so stop showing your face to me. I'm going to call the cops on you if you keep being stubborn," Miles stated bluntly and walked away from him."Come on, Mr. Miles. You shouldn't be like this. My
Chapter 30Miles paused when he walked inside the living room of their apartment and found a young man seated on their chair. "Who are you?" He asked coldly as he gazed at the young man, and just then, Ashley walked into the living room from the kitchen."Oh, Miles? You are here?" Ashley tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled briefly at Miles like nothing was happening."Who is this, Ashley?" Miles asked, referring to the young man."Oh... That's Henry, my friend. Where are you coming from? Don't tell me you went shopping," Ashley beamed with smiles as she walked over to Miles to take the shopping bags from him, but he stepped away, his face filled with fury. For a moment, Miles was confused as to why he was being consumed by anger, why he was burning inside, and why he was jealous that someone came to see Ashley. Nothing was making sense to him. Besides, they were not even dating, so why was he feeling this way?"Hmm. I will drop these in the kitchen," Miles glared hard at the ma
Chapter 31Miles sat on the edge of his bed as he scrolled through his phone, bored. There was nothing much to do, and since he had not taken over the company yet, he was just left here, doing nothing. The thought of his bride crossed his mind, and overwhelmed by many thoughts. When will they get married after they meet? What kind of wedding were they going to have? Is it going to just be a contract thing?He was yet to find answers to his questions when his phone beeped with a text on the screen.'The location has been changed. Let's meet at the Dynamite clubhouse. Don't keep me waiting' Came another text from Jess, and he rolled his eyes. As much as he wanted to ignore her, he was bored and felt it would be a way to kill boredom, and a part of him was also curious to know why she wanted to see him.He tossed his phone beside him on the bed, stood up, and changed his clothes before he left his room after he picked up his phone again.Miles had thought he would find Ashley in the liv
Chapter 32Miles looked around at the men who were getting ready to beat him to a pulp. They seemed to be waiting for an order from Leo before they would get to work."I told you that I was going to deal with you... Now, watch me do it," Leo's lips twitched into a smirk as he tucked his hands into his pants."Don't bother to call out for help because you won't find anyone... I am not someone that can be messed with, Miles," Jess smirked at him also, but he just stood staring at them like they were acting a drama. Who knows, maybe they were really into acting. It couldn't be him they were all there for."Get to work... Make sure you beat the hell out of him," Leo ordered the men, and just like sheep obeying their shepherd, they all charged at Miles. However, just a word from Miles made them stop."How much did he pay you?" He stood confidently in the same spot and never flinched even with the way they all looked dangerous.The men all looked at each other surprisingly. They had expecte
Chapter 33"Wh...what are you doing?" Leo stepped back and stuttered fearfully as Miles stepped closer to him."Are you scared? Are you not man enough to fight me, hmm?" Miles's lips twitched into a smirk as he stared at Leo who looked like a scared cat."Wh...who said that I'm scared?" Leo scoffed defensively when he couldn't even throw punches at Miles. He was scared of being defeated.Miles turned to Jess, and she immediately stepped back fearfully and swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. Her heart pounded hard in her chest like it was going to explode soon. "Wh...why are you looking at me like that?" She stuttered fearfully as she took a few steps back, and Miles scoffed."Are you going to hit me? I'm a woman...""And what if I believe in gender equality?" Miles smirked as he took slow and steady steps toward Jess while she kept stepping back until her back was pressed hard against the rail."Do... don't touch me, Miles... I'm going to call the cops on you if you dare la
