After the Drone Lift, He Begs Me Back Chapter 11 Her New Future
But still, she was my mother. I took her to a bench and sat down. "It's in the past now."My mother told me that my dad lost his job after the Pinschers went bankrupt. They went back home and took on odd jobs to keep the lights on. Their days were nothing but suffering."Your dad regrets what he did. He kept telling me he failed you."I was silent. The apology came far too late. It could not heal my wounds, but it could help me let it go.I gave my mother a card. "My part-time money is in there. It'll tide you over for now. I'll give you guys something every month from now on."She cried, refusing to take the card. "But we hurt you. Why would you…""Because you're my mother," I said. I did not have to forgive her, but that did not mean I could leave her for dead. That was my responsibility as her child.I sent my mother off and wandered around the campus for a while.When Howard found me, I was staring blankly into the distance, sitting beside the lake.He said nothing. All he

His eyes went red, and tears rolled down his cheeks. This was the first time I saw him cry, and he cried his heart out. He cried until he rasped, but I felt nothing. My heart was already dead to him."Your minutes are up." I left without giving him another look.…The Pinschers' company did not tough it out. The court of public opinion and the market destroyed it. They filed for bankruptcy. Tom's hair turned white overnight.

I went into journalism, while Howard went for computer science.When the acceptance letter came, my aunt was more excited than I was. She held a celebration party at her place
After the Drone Lift, He Begs Me Back Chapter 9 Justice Served
The school's verdict came quickly. The counselor was fired and given over to the cops.The admins apologized to me in front of the whole school and reinstated my glory. The principal himself read a letter of apology aloud.I stood on the stage, staring at the faculty. The people who laughed at me, who mocked me, could do nothing but hang their heads low in shame.I neither cried nor laughed. My heart was calm as dead water.However, this was not over. My aunt sent that footage to Clementia's biggest news outlet.The headline read, 'Wealthy heir bribes counselor, creates CheatingGate to force first love back to him.'The society was up in arms the moment the news was released. The Pinscher's company was famous in Clementia, and they portrayed themselves as a symbol of positivity. This scandal was a lethal blow to their image.Their share prices dipped. Nearly a billion was lost in a single day. Joseph and his father became the butt of the city's jokes.My parents called me until

"I can't believe she cheated. And I looked up to her.""You never really do know someone until they show you who they really are.""I bet she tried to copy Howard's answer because she knew his grades were good.""I heard she was expelled from her last high school. She's infamous back in her hometown."Rumors were spreading again, and the stories got more ridiculous. As I walked across the school grounds, I was taken back to that day when I was hung in the air like a chimpanzee doing an impossible trick for an audience.Kaylee stayed by my side and deflected the harsh looks the others threw at me. "Don't listen to them! I trust you!"Howard was the same. In front of the whole class, he said, "Jessica did not cheat. I believe her. She's not that kind of person. If anyone starts any stupid rumors, I'm coming after them."Their trust could not wash off my humiliation. I locked myself in my room and refused to eat or drink even a drop of water.My aunt was crying. She was worried si

I had no idea that I deserved to be treated right, until now. So I stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "I like you too, Howard."…I started going out with Howard. We told no one about it and made sure it was a secret only we knew. He was nice to me. So nice that it felt like a fairy tale.He remembered all my preferences. I hated coriander, so he would tell the waiter to remove it. I loved milk tea, but I had gastrointestinal issues, so he learned how to make homemade milk tea and made sure it had less sugar and ice.I was scared of the dark, so he made sure to take me back to my aunt's place if our study sessions ran too late. He was gentle, kind, and warm. He was pulling me out of the abyss called my past, bit by bit.I started to smile more, and I began to muster up the courage to talk to other people. My disorder was cured before I knew it.Joseph was slowly becoming a backdrop in my life. He stopped calling me or sending stuff to me. I thought he had given up, but I was
After the Drone Lift, He Begs Me Back Chapter 6 Confession
Every inch of my body was freezing up, from inside to outside. My father's job was more important than my dignity and health, it seemed. Calmly, I asked, "Mom, if I somehow die, would that get you guys a lot of compensation money? Enough for you to live your lives without any guilt?"My mother said nothing. A long while later, she started crying. I hung up and blocked her number.No one cared about me. No one but my aunt and Howard.…I was top of my year in the midterms. Howard was second place. Ms. Zimmerman praised us. "We're proud of you, Jessica and Howard. Especially you, Jessica. You're a transfer student, but you adapted to the school quickly and snagged the top spot.
