CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEAustin was sweating so hard, his face flushed and his heart hammering very hard against his ribs. He was still hiding on Zelda’s balcony, frozen with fear. He never thought she would come back so suddenly. And now she was getting undressed. He was in a total panic.His mind was a mess. Should I just show myself? Or keep hiding? If he stepped out now, there was no way to explain why he was hiding on her balcony. But if he stayed hidden and she took off all her clothes, he would feel like a total creep.He wrestled with the decision, the sound of fabric rustling from inside filling his ears. He couldn't be sure if she was naked or not, but his eyes, almost against his will, drifted toward the open sliding glass door.Her white shirt came off, and he saw her skin. It was so smooth. She wasn’t just pretty; she had a perfect body. The lacy lingerie she was wearing made her curves look even more incredible.Austin couldn't help but take a deep breath. This was the second
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO"Do you think I have a good figure, Austin? I still can’t believe the fact that you told me that you were at my balcony for that long because you sighted a thief."Zelda's question hit Austin like a bucket of ice water. He froze, his mind racing. What was she exactly driving at? Was she trying to manipulate him?"Answer me. Do you think I have a good figure?" she asked again, her face impossible to read.Austin took a deep breath. "I swear, I didn't see anything," he said, his voice a low rumble. He meant every word."The point is, I didn't see anything!" he repeated, feeling his frustration grow. Zelda was really getting to him."Fine, all right," Zelda said, her tone suddenly calm. "I have a friend who's opening a bar in a few days. They haven't found any good staff yet. You've been working part-time, right? How about you work there for a while?"The old Austin would have said yes in a heartbeat, and been so grateful for the offer. But things were different now. A
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE“That’s right. You have to do this. You're just an ordinary guy now, remember? You can't let Miss Fiona know who you really are. So, for now, you're going to be the live-in son-in-law for the Lawrence family," Xavier said, his voice flat and steady on the phone.Austin's face fell. "What?! A live-in son-in-law? You've already got me marrying her, and now this? Isn't that a bit much?" Austin's frustration was clear in his voice."It's all in the will," Xavier explained. "The old chairman wrote it all down. You didn't read the papers closely enough.""What was he thinking? Why is getting money so complicated? If I had known, I never would have agreed to any of this!" Austin was close to losing it."So, you're giving up?" Xavier's tone was sharp, almost a challenge.Austin froze. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. "Fine," he mumbled. He had gone from having nothing to being a Trillionaire in one day. There was no way he was giving that up. "So when ca
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR “Angela, did this guy bully you?” Nathan’s voice boomed, sharp and demanding.Angela froze, her eyes darting between Nathan and Austin. The silence stretched for a moment before she slowly shook her head. She felt a knot in her stomach. Being taken advantage of by Austin earlier was humiliating enough. Now, letting a nobody like him use her to pick a fight would just make her the school joke. Besides, what would an apology from Austin even change? It was better to just drop it.“Are you sure?” Nathan asked, sounding a little confused. “He really didn’t do anything?”“No. It’s fine. Let’s just go.” Angela shot Austin a look of pure disgust, then turned and walked away.Nathan narrowed his eyes at Austin. “Today’s your lucky day,” he snarled, a venomous edge to his voice. “But I promise, I’ll deal with you when I have the time.” He spun around and followed Angela.After watching them leave, Austin pulled out his phone. He had a sudden urge to call Samuel Ted and hav
CHAPTER 25
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE After Austin got home from school, he dragged himself into his apartment. He was so drained from the day that he couldn’t even think about making dinner. With a deep sigh, he plopped down on his bed, grabbed his phone, and opened up Scarlett’s live stream.As soon as his username popped up in the chat, the comments exploded with greetings and heart emojis. He ignored all the fuss, just quietly watching the stream. He had to admit, Scarlett wasn’t just pretty, she was good at what she did. Her long, dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, her eyes were bright and captivating, and her lips looked so glossy. She was wearing a tight red blouse that hugged her curves and made her fair skin glow. Below the blouse, she had on a short skirt and stockings, which made her look even more stunning. But Austin thought she looked even better in real life. The video just didn’t do her justice.Suddenly, a hateful message flashed across the screen: "You slut, just wait, if I find
