Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Ash nodded.

"That's interesting," I answered in astonishment. "Everyone calls her Evangeline."

He raised an eyebrow at my response, but I just rolled my eyes at him. He was too patient, not getting annoyed at all by what I was doing to him. I know he has a motive for pursuing me.

"Is she your ex-girlfriend, perhaps?" I immediately bit my lower lip after asking him that, but it was too late.

I bit my lip harder when I saw him smirk.

I was expecting him to say yes and brag about having the student council president as his ex-girlfriend or something, but I didn't expect the answer he gave me.

"Do you want Mason to beat me up if I mess with his sister?" Ash responded before slightly shaking his head and grimacing, as if he suddenly imagined what would happen to him if he did that. Did I hear that right?

Evangeline doesn't have any siblings. I glared at him before raising an eyebrow. My arms remained crossed over my chest as I stared at him.

"I told you that I know your schedule because it's the same as Rose's. Why are you so surprised?" Ash asked, his brows furrowing.

"And how could I not be? Evangeline didn't have a sibling, and both of them have different surnames. This is also the first time I've seen them together."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Mason Parker. He was one of the school's owners. Their business revolves around the medical industry. Among the three of them, he's the only one who follows the school's rules, even though I know he has enough power to ignore the rules if he wanted to.

Evangeline Rose Varlett. The student council president and varsity player. Compared to the wealth of the three guys, her wealth is probably just dirt under their nails. She's like a typical spoiled brat. She's fussy about dirt but meticulous when it comes to the projects she handles. She's also ranked second in the accountancy department. The first place? Me.

"That's ridiculous." Ash laughed, shaking his head. "They have different surnames. You're right... but that doesn't mean they're not siblings."

I hate to say this, but he has a point. Maybe they're siblings from the same mother, which is why they have different surnames... or maybe he's just messing with me.

"They rarely go out together, but I've seen them many times. They were literally playing at our place every day. They just didn't want any trouble, but now, I guess they've decided to be open about it. They couldn't hide it forever, anyway." I gave him a dirty look, but he just looked at me like he was amused by my reaction.

"One thing's for sure, Sapphire. I'm telling the truth, and it's up to you if you want to believe me," said Ash.

"And I don't," I answered coldly.

I was just being honest, though. It's hard to believe they're siblings just because he said so. I have trust issues.

And why should I care if they're siblings or not? I'm already meddling too much in other people's lives, probably because they meddle in mine.

I started walking down the stairs again. It's time to find another place where I can stay, and it's definitely not the library.

The places that used to bring me peace now only bring me stress. That's how Ash beats the shit out of me. I really should've suspended him for a year so he wouldn't bother me anymore.

But again, he followed me, causing me to lose my patience. "What now, Ash?"

"I understand if you like Mason. Girls will always prefer the good guys," he said seductively, sending shivers down my spine "But you're not a bad girl, Sapphire. You're a good one, so you should prefer me, the bad guy who can bring you to Heaven."

"I don't like being in Heaven, Ash." I glared at him.

I wish I could kill him with my deadly stare, though. Sadly, I can't. He didn't even flinch because of my gaze. He just grinned as if he was enjoying annoying me even more.

I only had a few more steps to go before reaching the ground floor, but one wrong step made me slip. Thankfully, Ash caught me by the waist.

"Damn, Sapphire. You should be careful-"

His words halted when we suddenly fell down the stairs like a fucking loaf of bread. I was thinking about the pain I was supposed to feel because of this situation, but all those thoughts disappeared when I felt Ash's arms wrap around my waist, protecting me.

"That hurts." He grimaced.

He held his back while lying on the floor, and I was on top of him. His clothes were all messed up from our tumble, while I don't even have a scratch. "Don't help me if you can't do it properly," I commanded him as I stood up.

"Aren't you thankful that I saved you, even though not in the way I wanted?" he asked before standing up and fixing his disheveled clothes.

He gave me a dirty look, which made me laugh. I love seeing him that way... annoyed as hell.

"I wanted it to be romantic, but fuck, my back hurts," Ash added as he rubbed his back.

"That's your fault, you didn't balance yourself properly."

I really like seeing him get frustrated when things don't go according to plan. Now he knows what it feels like when plans get messed up?

I didn't even realize I was smiling as I walked out of the library.

But then, something shit happened.

Suddenly, there was a blackout, and here I am again, trying to find Ash.

"Ash, where are you?" I asked, trying to find him in the dark, but no one answered.

This was rare. There's never a blackout at this university, especially at this hour. There should be a generator by now, but several minutes have passed, and there's still no power, not even emergency lights.

I'm worried, and I can't even deny it. It was too dark. I won't be able to see anything if I don't have a flashlight on my phone.

"Ash, are you still here?" I asked again, louder this time while looking for him on the ground floor.

I continued calling his name non-stop, but it wasn't too desperate, at least, for me. I already called maintenance, but they told me I'd have to wait for a while.

"Shit!" I cursed when I heard a noise from the side.

It feels like I'm in a horror movie, and a ghost will appear in front of me at any moment. My heart was pounding hard. If not for Ash, I would have gone home by now.

Why am I here, anyway? I wasn't even sure if he's still here.

I shook my head as I walked toward the place where I heard the noise; the sound of books falling from their place.

I heard a faint sound of someone shivering, and my mouth widened at what I saw.
