Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Ash's foot stopped mid-air. He hesitated for a few seconds before slightly shaking his head and stepping further away from me. Now, a bookshelf was behind him, so that was the last time he could retreat.

"How ironic. You're a Devil, yet you're talking about heaven." I chose not to pay attention to what he was doing now and dismissed it from my mind. Whatever his reasons for his actions were, I didn't care. "But in a way, you're still kind. Haze's much worse than you."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

I didn't expect to say Ash was still kind just because I saw a guy who was worse than him.

"What do you mean by that?" He closed the distance between us, but I immediately stepped sideways. "Answer me, or I'll be the one to punish you," he warned.

But why did it send heat to my core?

"Why don't you ask him yourself? You're his friend, not me. Ash gritted his teeth because of what I answered, but he couldn't do anything if I didn't want to tell him. "Now, if you excuse me."

I didn't wait for him to answer as I walked away from him, but he suddenly pulled me by the arm, causing me to shout in shock. "What the hell, Ash?"

And because of what I did, the students within our vicinity were now looking at us with their eyes widened.

"Baby, I thought you didn't want us to be caught together?" Ash said, smiling ear to ear, enjoying the attention we were getting now that could be the start of my life being completely ruined. Oh, no. Fuck. I'm doomed.

"I did something bad. She caught me making out with someone at the corner of the library. So, the little miss student council secretary will take me to the guidance office," he announced to the students who were looking at us now. "So, we better go ladies," he added before pulling me outside the library.

He said that I am the one to take him... but he's the one who's taking me.

I don't know if my headache could get any worse because of what's happening. All of them came to me at once for this day. Haze humiliated me, Mason protected me, and Ash is currently playing with my damn head.

Ash really meant it when he said that I should punish him. He even brought me to the guidance office himself, but the results were ridiculous.

"You're suspended for... one day," the head of the guidance office told him, and the hesitation was even evident in his tone. "Is that alright with you?"

I couldn't help but laugh upon hearing the counselor's question. I mean, is he for real?

"No. Make it two weeks. I want to rest," Ash disagreed as he turned his face to my direction. "Make sure that she'll get all the credit as well. Reporting someone will give her a point for extra-curricular activities according to the handbook, right?"

The counselor nodded with hesitation. "Yes, but-"

"It's fine. I did something wrong anyway," interjected Ash, and the counselor didn't have any choice but to nod. "So, it's settled, then-"

"I believe it should be one month," I interrupted Ash's sentence this time, which caused them both to look at me. "This is not the first time he broke the rules in this school. Two weeks is not enough for a punishment."

The head counselor opened his mouth a bit as if he couldn't believe what I had requested.

On the other hand, Ash was amused, and I could see it in his eyes. "One month, then."

"A-Alright," the counselor agreed helplessly.

I smirked in satisfaction as they both signed the agreement for suspension. This is the first time Ash had a record in the university, and I couldn't help but be proud of myself. Why wouldn't I? His record is no longer clean now, and it was because of me.

Not only that, but I will have credit for this, too.

"I gotta go." I stood up from my seat and walked outside the library.

Ash followed me like a leech. He was just beside me, and because of that, my grin widened, thinking that this is the beginning of his downfall.

"Sapphire," Ash called, stopping me in my tracks.

"What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as I turned my direction on him.

But I was shocked when suddenly, he held my chin and looked at me intently. "You wanted me to fall, didn't you?"

"Is it that obvious?" I shot back, smirking.

He didn't even blink or flinch at my statement, but I could see the surprise in his eyes. However, I noticed how his mouth opened and closed. It seemed like he wanted to say something but was holding back.

"You can't hide your real emotions, Ash. I know that you're surprised." My grin widened at my own words. His lips parted slightly as he stared at me, but gradually, his smirk returned. "Don't be too surprised, though. I'm sure I'm not the only woman who wants to bring you down."

I even shrugged my shoulders as I said that. I was sure of what I said, especially since he had hurt many women here. A lot.

He leaned in slightly before whispering in my right ear. "If they wanted to take me down, I'm sure that it was on the bed, Sapphire... Not like the way you are doing it right now."

"And that's the last thing I would want you to do," I said confidently as I pushed him away.

I shook my head for two reasons I just realized. First, his confidence was on a different level, higher than I expected. And second, I was wasting too much time here. Now I'd need to work overtime either later or tomorrow in the library to make up for my duty.

"Then, try harder," he murmured as he took a step away from me.

My eyebrow automatically raised at his words. "What?"

"If you really want to see me fall in front of you, you need to exert more effort because this is not enough to even make me stumble, baby," he said arrogantly before turning and walking away from me. And to annoy me to the core, Ash even waved his right hand as if he knew I was still watching him.
