Chapter 5

ANDREA

I kept looking at everyone for a clue on what I did wrong but no one is saying anything. What? I'm not supposed to say anything? He kept staring at me with a smirk on his good looking face. Why would a guy looking so mature, hot, tall and athletic, handsome be such a jerk? This feature could have been given to a much better, well behaved person.

"Andrea what are you doing here?" I heard Kelsey ask behind me.

I turned to her, "nothing actually I was just about to leave let's go together."

He looked at me then at him and suddenly took off with me I almost didn't have time because it was so sudden I did not protest I just run with her because I know she will not be running with me for no reason at all probably this is about that guy I wonder what exactly he wants from me I want absolutely nothing to do with him. You stopped somewhere and breathe heavily trying to catch our breath we go to breathe in and out at the same time then we ended up busting into laughter all of a sudden she stopped laughing and looked at me seriously.

"Is something on my face why are you looking at me like that?" I asked confused at her behaviour.

She shook her head, "something is not on your face but probably you would not be having a great time if you understand the gravity of what you have done for yourself."

"What are you talking about what what have I done to myself talk to me listening to you is there something I don't know that you know?" I asked still confused.

She nodded, "yes you just gave yourself a bad day and don't ask me if you offended someone from the mafia. Well, you did offend someone from the mafia."

"Wait... You know that guy?" I became interested. At least I can find out why people fear him so much.

She scoffed, "You don't know who Chase Muller is?"

I shook my head, that doesn't ring a bell. Except for the name that sounds like a 1998 police officer name. I don't know what a Chase Muller is. Who even bears something so outdated? Is it really outdated though?

"Is he the president's son?" I replied sarcastically.

She stared at me seriously, that's when I realized that I may have done something serious. Is he really a Mafia? Does this mean I'll die?

"He is the west mafia leader. The biggest gangs and groups are under him. His father is the leader but Chase is running it now until he fully gets crowned as the Mafia king. The president you are talking about can't dare this group. You don't understand the gravity of what you have done!" She fully explained.

I don't understand. Are we in some sort of mafia romance movie or what? A Mafia? That guy? He looks so ordinary...

"You see? Just avoid him. They are people with power and can get whatever they want. He may look ordinary but he is not. He won't let you go if he has his eyes on you." She added.

I fell on the floor sitting. She rushed to me, looking confused.

"Andrea! Come on! You only met him once, you won't meet him again. This college is big and he hardly cares about people like us..."

"You don't understand Kelsey. He won't forget me. I... I saw him fucking a girl in the female restroom yesterday. He even invited me... I insulted him and left..."

She gasped, "Girl! Why didn't you tell me that yesterday?! You should avoid him at all costs. Let's go..."

"There's more..."

"More?"

"Yes. He is the same guy I had a one night stand with... I'm doomed Kelsey." I said feeling low.

I felt like all the energy has left my body. I don't know what to do next. I want to jump into the sea and die there. I don't want to see him again.

She also fell on the floor beside me.

"This is pretty awesome bestie. What are we going to do now?" She asked me.

I shook my head, "I don't know. Should I just stop coming to school and leave this city?"

She stopped me, "No! There's no way I would let you leave this city just because of that guy. Relax, I'm pretty sure he doesn't recognise you anymore. Just avoid him and you'll be fine. Your father is also powerful, at least he can help you if things gets worse."

"Don't even bring that man into this. I don't want anything to do with him." I said looking away.

She dragged me up and dusted our clothes. "We shouldn't be defeated by this. Let's keep our head up high and don't let him bring us down."

I didn't say anything as I just followed her to the lecture hall. My mind could not leave the fact that I have messed up big time for myself and everyone around me. If he does recognize me, I'll be doomed. I know people from the mafia are the last people I would like to get involved with. They are a mixture of everything and too controlling. I don't want to lose the freedom I have. Why would a guy like him come to a school like this when he can attend a much better one?

"I would like to discuss the upcoming project with you all..." I suddenly heard the professor's voice.

My eyes snapped towards him, I didn't know he already came in because I was too busy thinking about Chase Muller. Why is he suddenly talking about projects at the start of the school year? It's hard enough to be a fresher with little knowledge and this man's already giving us work? This is harder than I thought.

"I just wish everything will disappear." I said without knowing I said it out loud.

Everyone turned to look at me. My eyes widened open, I shook my head feeling very embarrassed. Even the professor stopped because of me, I heard people murmuring things.

"If you want to talk about this, you can see me later miss." The professor said and went back to his teaching.

I sighed and decided to concentrate. My mom must be disappointed in me for doing this right now. I left the lecture room as soon as it was over. I went to the notice board to see the person I was paired with. We're a group of six people and two people had to present different sub topics under one topic.

I searched for my name and found it in a group with two people that I know. The person I'm paired with is not even someone I know. Kelly Harrison, who the hell is that? How do I start looking for he or she?

"Just great. How worse can things get now?" I murmured walking away like a zombie.

I made my way to the nearest restroom. I opened the door and went inside to do my business. I came out washing my hands and face together. I looked at the mirror, I heard someone come in.

"My life sucks." I said staring at the mirror.

"Is that so? That's quite interesting." I heard a familiar voice say.

I looked beside me and found him locking the door. He is the one who came in! Chase Muller!

"What... W-what are you doing here?" I asked stuttering and trying to keep my composure at the same time.

"You're the first to ever ask me that. I can go wherever I want though. Don't you miss me?" He asked me.

Miss him? What is he talking about? Does he recognize me? That can't be it right? I have to keep pretending I don't know him. I must escape him at all costs.

"I... I don't know what you are talking about? Excuse me, I must leave now..."

He chuckled, "You are quite interesting but such a bad actor. We've met a few times before. You are the one who saw me yesterday right? And the one who spoke rudely to me at the library this morning."

"Listen... I don't know you, but I don't want any troubles so I'll just pretend to know nothing. Just leave me alone." I replied moving back from him.

"Really?" He moved closer to me until I had nowhere to go.

I nodded, "Yes. I didn't see you fuck a blonde girl in the general female restroom when you could have gotten an hotel room for that..." He arched his brows smirking, "And I didn't see you with another girl this morning which means I don't know you are a womanizing jerk.."

I gasped knowing I have completely spilled out nonsense. He still smirked, his gaze as dark as hell. I couldn't help but see how smooth and beautiful his skin is. He must be extremely rich.

"Is that all you remember darling?" He asked me again.

Is that all... Wait. Does he remember? Oh no! What do I do now?!
