Just after she had left the room, yet another knock was heard, and Jace grumbled, assuming that Grace never left.

"What do you..." He flung open the door and his voice trailed off, seeing Max standing at the door.

"Max, sorry I was expecting someone else," He apologised and quickly gestured for him to come in.

"No, I actually have something for you, her father sent it to me to give you...

"Her?"

"Jane," Max nodded, deciding to step into the room briefly and closing the door behind him.

"I had to invite Tristan Coleman myself, and he said his daughter talked about you to him, it's one of the few reasons he agreed to show up at the debate to see the famous boy that caught his daughter's attention."

"I..." Jace stuttered, not knowing what to say. He took the box from Max, his mind reeling with curiosity about what might be underneath the expensive wrap.

"Jane sent it, or was it Jane?" Jace asked, slowly unwrapping the box,

"What could it be?"

"I think you should see it for you

  • [69] You can't enter the dormitory

    Jacs was stunned to silence, his hand glued to his now reddened cheek, while Grace stood right in front of him, fuming with anger, threatening to slap him a second time. Max jumped out of the car in a flash and grabbed Grace's hand before she could hit Jace again. Somehow, Jace managed to dodge, and the slap never landed. "Why did you do that?" Jace barked, "You sent the photo to everyone and made it seem like I brought you into the boys' dorm room just to get back at me! Wasn't that enough for you already?" "Me?" Grace asked, an expression of shock etched on her face, "What do you mean I sent the photo to everyone? Why would I even do that, knowing it would implicate me too? Don't you know what this is to me?" For a moment, there was silence between them, just the subtle sound of their heavy breathing. "So you didn't post the pictures," Jace asked, raising a brow. Somehow the situation is a lot more complicated than it seems. "If I posted it, then why would I slap you and bl

  • [68] The image

    Jace was silent but nervous; the eyes that stared at him weren't unnoticed, and it wasn't just because of his new position, but something else entirely. "What's going on?" Jane whispers, curiosity written all over her face. But before she could even check her phone to investigate, a familiar voice yelled, "Giving the position of acting president to someone who breaks the rule is just too iconic!" "What?" Jace raised a brow. He didn't recall breaking any rules. If anyone did anything at all, then it had to be the elit brats who never hesitated to make others miserable. Jane looked up from her phone wearing a disappointed look, "You brought a girl into the boys' dormitory, into your room." "I... I did what?" Jace stuttered, and the image was immediately shown to him, the image that an anonymous student had shared on the school's public platform. And because Jace had been a trending topic all week long, it only took a few seconds for nearly the entire school to see it and that inc

  • [67] Gala night

    "Grace?" Jace tried to call her attention but she seemed to have completely vanished into the crowd without a trace. So much for not being bothered by all the attention he was getting. Even while he looked nervous, some pretty female students still waved lovingly at him while with their partners. Truly it felt strange and somewhat overwhelming."Oh my God," he muttered, and quickly turned around, returning to the balcony so that Jane wouldn't get too curious or worse, upset."Is everything okay?" Jane asked upon his return, she never left the spot where she had been standing."I... sort of," Jace babbled,"The truth is, I had a lot of people asking me to be their partner tonight, I couldn't say yes to all of them, and she's one of them.""Oh," Jane muttered,"I hope my father's gift didn't force you to..."No no," Jace cut her off briskly,"I chose to come with you, not just because of your father. Honestly, you've been really nice to me since I got here, and that's enough reason for

  • [66] This is going to be a mess

    Jace stepped out of the boutique’s fitting room, the mirror-lined walls throwing back an image that almost didn’t feel like his own because the tailored black suit clung perfectly to his frame. The clerk adjusted the cuffs, revealing the glint of the Coleman watch on his wrist She froze for a moment just staring at it, wondering how such a young boy could afford such an expensive wrist watch, but then again she parried those thoughts, concluding in her mind that it must have been from Jace's rich parent. "I like it," said with a smile. It wasn't the most expensive suit in the store, but it was exactly what he wanted. He also picked a black leather shoe to match, paid the cashier and soon he was out of the building. By the time the sun had set, a line of black cars was already parked up the curved driveway of the Glass Horizon Hotel. The building’s façade was a shimmering wall of tinted windows, and the entryway glowed in soft amber light. Security in tuxedos moved with quiet preci

From students in their first year to those in their final year, Jace had already become a popular figure on campus.Known? Yes, but not respected by everyone, many students were jealous of his sudden rise. Meanwhile, Jace himself didn't seem to mind them; his popularity has only increased, but not his power, and that's the whole point.He wanted to reach a point where his mere presence alone would send a shiver down the spine of those around. He wasn't doing this just for pride but to show off and put those elite brats in their place; he wanted to be their worst nightmare.Amidst all the flying news, Jace started to get a lot of attention from female students and that in itself came with another set of trouble.
