CHAPTER 109: NO CLAIM OVER HIM

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07.10.2026 19:09:26

CLARA'S POV

Maya pulled me around the corner of the hallway, away from the stream of students spilling out of the lockers, her grip tight enough to leave a mark.

"Sloane also applied for the fashion competition," she said, breathless, eyes wide with the kind of urgency she usually saved for actual emergencies. "I heard her and Vera talking about it in the bathroom. So they didn't see me. She's already got some designer from her mom's boutique lined up to help her sew the pieces."

A sudden surge

    CLARA'S POVMy knees felt weak standing in front of her. I pressed my hands against the sides of my skirt to hide how much they were shaking. "Nothing is going on, ma'am," I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. "We just study together in the library."Helena's eyes moved over my face slowly. Helena stepped closer, her silk robe dragging along the floor. "Do not lie to me, Clara. I have eyes. I see the way my son looks at you. I saw how he stood up to Maria for you yesterday.""I am only helping him prepare for the tests," I insisted, staring at her chin because I could not look into her eyes. "He asked for help with his schoolwork, and that is all we do.”"My son is not dull!" Her voice sharpened. "He has never once in his life needed tutoring to succeed in anything. Hockey, schoolwork, girls, he has always managed those on instinct alone. So you will forgive me if I find it strange that suddenly, the moment you arrive in this house, he cannot survive a few tests without you sitting

"I heard her and Vera talking about it in the bathroom. So they didn't see me. She's already got some designer from her mom's boutique lined up to help her sew the pieces."A sudden surge of heat rushed into my face. I was terrified by the news, but I kept still."Okay," I said, my voice flatter than I meant it to sound. "So she's competing. I'm competing too," I said, forcing confidence into my voice.Maya blinked at me, clearly expecting a different reaction. A slow grin spread across her face. "There she is. There's the fire I like.""It's not fire, Maya. It's just true. I'm tired of all of this. I'm competing too, so are over a hundred students. May the best one win.""Okay,

    CLARA'S POVJaxson kept his hand on the steering wheel and turned to me slightly, his eyes studying my nervous expression."Is this what you truly want, Clara?" he asked. "I can stop right here if you really don't want us driving through those gates together. I don't want you to be uncomfortable."I looked out the window at the long line of luxury cars pulling into the school driveway. Then I looked back at Jaxson, seeing the genuine concern in his eyes. I turned to Maya. She gave me a supportive nod from the back seat."No," I said, letting out a long breath. "It is fine. Drive in.""You sure?" he asked."I'm sure."Jaxson gave me a soft smile and pressed his foot on the gas pedal.He steered his car straight through the massive iron gates and pulled into the crowded senior parking lot. He drove up to his reserved spot near the front entrance and turned off the engine.Before I could even reach for my door handle, Jaxson opened his door, stepped out, and walked quickly around the hoo

    CLARA'S POV"Clara," Maria said, her tone dripping with heavy suspicion. "Mrs. King wants to see you. Now."My throat went dry instantly. "I... We were just doing schoolwork," I explained."I did not ask what you were doing," Maria snapped coldly. "Come to the living room right now."I stood up slowly, my face burning, and my legs shaking.Jaxson stood up from his chair right after, his tall frame looming over the table. "I'll come with you," he said."That's not necessary, Master Jaxson," Maria said with a cold sneer. "Your mother requested Clara alone.""I'm still coming," Jaxson hissed."Jaxson, please," I said quietly, before things escalated further. "It's fine. I'll go alone."He didn't look happy about it, but he let it go, sitting back down slowly.We headed downstairs together, Maria a full step ahead the whole way, not offering a single word of explanation. My mind raced through every possible version of what was about to happen, all of them ending with me packing my things.

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 106: TENSED TOUCH

    CLARA'S POVI spun around and pressed my spine flat against the cool wallpaper, clamping both hands over my lips to stop a sharp scream from escaping.Jaxson stood inches away in the dim light of the corridor. He raised a single finger to his lips, signaling me to stay silent."It's just me," he whispered."You scared me to death," I said, barely hearing myself."Sorry." He tilted his head toward the hallway. "Come on, let's not stand here listening to that. My mom's on a roll tonight."He took my wrist gently, his fingers warm against my pulse point, and guided me down the carpeted hallway until we stopped right outside my bedroom door. The loud, sharp shrieks of his mother arguing with Maria downstairs faded into distant background noise."I almost gave out," I whispered, placing a shaking hand over my racing heart. "I thought I got caught."Jaxson leaned his shoulder against my doorframe. A small, crooked smile touched his lips. "I saw you peeking through the wooden railings on the

    JAXSON'S POV"I'll ask again," my mother said, sharper this time. "What exactly is going on here?"I glanced at Clara, gave her a small nod telling her to go back in, and walked over to where my mother stood."It's nothing, Mom," I said, touching her shoulder."Nothing?" She pulled her arm away. "I know what I saw, Jaxson! That didn't look like nothing."I knew she wouldn't buy it. I took a deep breath, my brain working fast to find a believable excuse."I was upset about Lily," I started, trying to sound distressed. "About the yelling, the disappointment I've caused you, and all that. It all got to me."My mother narrowed her eyes. She looked me up and down. She still looked very suspicious."So you're sad that you disappointed your parents, and your response is hugging the nanny," my mother said coldly. "In the middle of a public hallway.""I was breaking down, Mom," I lied smoothly. "Clara was just being nice.""That looked like more than nice!" she yelled. "I'm not a fool, Jaxson.

    The word hit me like a physical blow to the chest.Filled?This couldn't be true. I needed this job. It wasn't just a job; it was the medicine in my mother's veins. It was the roof over our heads."Maria, wait," Mrs. Gabe pleaded. "I spoke to Helena this afternoon. She said—""And I am speaking t

    He stared at me. I stared right back. Our eyes fixed on each other. The world did not end, though it felt like it should have. His mouth opened. "What the hell?" he screamed. "Adene? Is this a joke? Are you stalking me now?" "Jaxson." Maria appeared behind him, but her eyes moved straigh
