Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

"Is it her? Is she Ash's new girl?"

"No, it can't be. She's just a commoner. She doesn't even come close to Ash's standards."

"Maybe she threatened him?"

"Wow, and now I'm the one who's making threats," I said, shaking my head as I listened to two students gossiping, not realizing I was right in front of them, reading a book. Well, it makes sense-they couldn't see me since my face was hidden behind the book.

This is the only way I know how to hide. Things happened so quickly that I didn't realize some students had taken videos and pictures of Ash kissing me earlier.

At first, I didn't understand why it was such a big deal. Ash often, if not always, made out with girls at the university, and I was sure kissing wasn't the only thing they did. Making out with someone was practically Ash's hobby, so why were they reacting so strangely when it came to me?

It turns out it was because I'm poor and because of what I did to Haze. They told me I didn't even deserve to be near them because I was a violent and imbecile bitch.

Even when someone kisses me, my economic status still comes up? I could only roll my eyes at that.

I waited until dawn for the library to be empty. After waiting for hours, everyone finally left the library, and I was alone on the second floor.

"No one's here anymore. Finally," I said triumphantly as I stood up and walked to the first floor.

I decided not to go to our building anymore because I had no idea what awaited me there. It could be bad, or even worse. The video of Ash kissing me had been uploaded on the university's unofficial page, and rumors spread like wildfire. And Ash, that jerk, even reacted with a heart emoji on that post instead of having it taken down. He wanted me to suffer while he's not here, didn't he?

By doing that, he only put me in more danger.

"Yes!" I smiled widened when I finally got outside the library.

I closed my eyes as I enjoyed the fresh breeze. But as I opened it again, I didn't expect to see someone in front of me.

Near the library entrance, four other men stood in front of a black van.

"Sapphire Jade Miller," the man said confidently as he glanced at the photo he was holding before turning his gaze to me. "That's you, right? Don Simon is asking for you,"

Mason's dad? I never thought he was that interested in me, huh? To think he even sent his men here to summon me.

"If they want to see me, he should come here himself, don't you think?" I said to them, crossing my arms over my chest. "I'm busy. Maybe next time."

And now, part of my schedule is to go home and rest before any other students here, who are surely hunting me, find me.

"He gave us orders you won't like if you don't come with us," the man said in an intimidating tone, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

Is he trying to scare me? It's not working.

I pretended to walk past them, but what I really did was run back to the other side.

But the man behind me was fast. He quickly grabbed my arm and covered my mouth with a handkerchief.

"L-Let go of me..." I said before everything went black.

"WAKE UP, Cinderella." My brows furrowed as I felt someone lightly slapping my right cheek.

"Fuck," I muttered as I held my head.

The lights were blinding me. I immediately closed my eyes because it was so bright in this place where we were now.

The room was so big that it could be called an entire house. Even the couch and the humidifier beside me looked expensive. Maybe that's why I slept so well, because this place was so peaceful. But I don't think I should feel that way.

"No dirty words are allowed here, my lady," he laughed as he puffed his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray. "Seems like you had a great sleep. Did my men scare you? I just want to continue the conversation we had yesterday." "This is kidnapping, sir." I tried to stand up but immediately sat back down due to dizziness.

It felt like the world was spinning. Simon placed a humidifier beside me, but it felt like I couldn't breathe, making things so ironic

I tried to open my eyes fully, but my eyelids grew heavier. It felt like I was both aware of my surroundings and unconscious at the same time.

"Just answer my questions, and I won't do anything against you."

He sat on a small sofa a bit far from me, but close enough for me to hear him.

"Do you remember anything about your childhood? Or do you feel like something's missing?"

"What..." I couldn't raise my voice as I was feeling weak.

I lay down on the couch, struggling to breathe. But as I did so, memories started to flood my mind, and I didn't know where they came from.

"You need to fight, Sapphire."

"You don't belong here." "Fight."

My head started to throb. I couldn't explain the pain I was feeling now. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I was trembling in fear as I hugged myself while staring at the stranger not too far away from me.

He wasn't doing anything to scare me, but his presence alone was enough to frighten me. He and Mason acted similarly-both were quiet and observant. Only Evangeline was different because she was loud and blunt.

But there was something different about the man in front of me now. He was like an open book with a hidden chapter in it.

Just like me.

"I guess the documents were true. You really have selective amnesia, and you decided to forget me." He smirked as he tapped his thigh with his fingers. "But I won't let you forget me completely, Jade. Remembering me will make you stronger." I frowned at what he said. What nonsense is he talking about-

"You need to learn at a young age, Cinderella," a guy said as he lightly slapped my cheeks. "You will be beneficial to me."NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

I gasped as I realized something.

This is why he felt so familiar, and this is why I was scared of him. This isn't the first time I met him.
