Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

It was Ash, which made me raise an eyebrow.

I couldn't help but remember the kiss we shared as I stared at his lips. I didn't know why my focus shifted to his lips when that wasn't even what he asked me.

"No," I answered, looking away from him.

I pretended to be looking for something, but the truth is, I lost focus because of his presence. I hope he leaves soon. Even though he hadn't done anything yet, my heart was already pounding hard, and I didn't like it. "Harsh," he said, smirking. "Who are you looking for?"

"Mason," I lied.

His eyebrows furrowed at my answer, but I ignored him. I was more concerned about whether the other students were watching us, but fortunately, they weren't because they were focused on the concert. "Do you like him?" he asked in an irritated tone.

"No," I replied without thinking.

Is he crazy? Why would I like my own brother?

Oh, right, he doesn't know that. I shrugged at the thought.

"That's good to hear." He smiled widely at me as it boosted his confidence, making me roll my eyes. "Now, come with me."

I became alert when he grabbed my arm and pulled me inside the auditorium. Can I call this kidnapping even though he's taking me somewhere with a lot of people?

"Where are you taking me?" I asked even though I already have an idea.

"To the main event, the concert," he said casually, with a hint of surprise in his voice, as if he couldn't understand why I wouldn't attend.

This might be a student's dream when they enter this university, but not mine.

"I wasn't assigned there." I removed his grip, but he only tightened it.

It didn't hurt, but it was tight enough that I couldn't escape.

"As a member of the student council, you should be there," he explained in a way I could understand. "Even if you weren't assigned there, you still need to show support. Don't you think so?" "Do I even have a choice?" I shot back, pointing at his hand. "Whether I agree or not, you'll still drag me there."

"Good that you know," he said with a laugh before pulling me further into the auditorium.

At first, I thought Ash brought me here just to annoy me, but to my surprise, he was already on the stage, preparing to perform before the main event.

Ash was the vocalist, Mason was the guitarist, and I couldn't believe that I could see Evangeline sitting in front of the drums, playing with her drumsticks. Why would they perform? I thought they couldn't perform because of Haze?

"This song is for someone I like but who doesn't like me back. But I am Ash Cassius Coleman, and I won't back down without a fight."

The audience went wild after he said that. I even saw him wink at me before the song started.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

He sang Just The Way You Are, and it was hard for me to bear as my heart couldn't stop beating rapidly.

I didn't know how to react. While the other audience members sang along, I was frozen in my spot because I knew that song was meant for me.

Some people didn't notice, but Ash was staring at me while singing the entire song. Mason was smirking as he played the guitar, while Evangeline... her mood seemed off, but she had no choice but to play the drums. But her mood worsened when she heard what Ash said after the song.

"No one can hurt my girl, Sapphire Jade Miller. Try messing with her, and you'll have to deal with me."

The room fell silent as everyone looked at me. I couldn't take it all so I left.

ver thought that Ash would also run outside the auditorium and catch up with me. "Wait, Sapphire. Did you like it?"

"I didn't," I said nonchalantly as I walked towards the university gate. He followed me like a lost puppy.

But I really did. It was the first time someone sang a song for me, and I didn't expect it to feel this way.

"Did you really need to say that last part?" I asked, puzzled because I didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's wrong with that? It's easier to deal with just one person than with the whole university," he said, grabbing my arm and pulling me closer to him. "You just need to deal with me, baby." EVER since that day when Ash performed at the concert, my life has changed. The Sapphire who used to be invisible at school is now always the center of attention.

It's been a while since Ash announced to the crowd that I'm his property, but people don't forget those kinds of things quickly.

Especially when that video on the concert was posted on the university's official page, and Ash even shared it on his Ashbook account.

[My girl's so stunned. How cute.]

That was his caption. I can't help but whimper. Fortunately, my schoolmates don't swarm me anymore, despite whatever nonsense he says. Maybe they were really intimidated by him.

Today is our retention exam. We're all nervous because these exams will determine whether we can continue with this course or not.

And yes, even though we're already in our third year, there are still retention exams.

Freshmen week was never a good omen for me. Every time that event ends, all the work pours in on us.. I was exhausted, but I didn't have a choice but to fight.

I SIGHED in relief after taking my first exam. I still had time to review for my second subject, so I headed to the other room and went to the chair with my name on it. During exams, the professor assigns us seats. They do it randomly so no one can cheat. There's also a CCTV camera here to discourage students from cheating.

"S. hit," I muttered under my breath as I remembered what happened last time in the classroom. It only just sank in that there was a CCTV when we almost did that thing. Are we caught on camera?

"No, maybe not..." I tried to console myself with that thought. Today is my exam, and I can't afford to entertain distractions.

But distractions seem to like me, huh?

"What is this?" I asked, raising an eyebrow upon seeing tons of chocolates in my chair.

I wasn't hungry earlier, but seeing those made my stomach growl. This is exactly what I wanted to eat, but I couldn't afford it.

And there are two sweet notes from two different people. The handwriting on the first note was neat and clean. However, the second one looks like a mess. [Good luck with your exams. You can do it.]

It was from Mason. Even though he's also busy with his course, he really takes care of Evangeline and I.

When I tried to find Evangeline's assigned seat, I saw that there were also snacks placed there. A great brother, indeed.

After I read Mason's note, I read the second one.
