Jaxson's POV

My father turned around and glared at me. "What the hell do you mean by that, Jaxson?"

"What do you think people would say?” I said, walking down the rest of the stairs. “The neighbors, the club members, when they see you throwing her out at this hour?" My parents looked at me like I was speaking a dead language.

Maria looked at Clara, then at me. "Master Jaxson, this is none of your concern—"

"Neither is it yours, Maria." I cut her off. "This is family business."

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 108: BITTER FEELING

    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

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 107: UNDER SUSPICION

    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.

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 104: LUCKY BOY

    JAXSON'S POVMr Whitfield stood up slowly. "We'll head home now, Clarence." Uncle Sylvester stood up also. "Keep us updated on Lily."The two of them hurried out the front door toward their cars."Go get her VIP card from my office," my father ordered, already pulling his own coat off the hook. "And be fast."I ran upstairs as fast as I could, found the card, and grabbed a few toys and essentials from Lily's room. By the time I got back down, my parents were already standing by the sprinter. I climbed in and took a seat across from them. The driver sped off immediately.The ride to the hospital was the longest twenty minutes of my life."I do not understand you sometimes, Jaxson," my dad started, staring straight ahead, not even looking at me. "You are almost nineteen, and we cannot trust you with your sister's well-being for a few weeks.""She is just a little girl, Jaxson," my mother added, shaking her head. "We trust you to keep her safe. And you let this happen under your watch."

  • Dare To Love The Chubby Nerd    CHAPTER 103: A HORRIBLE SURPRISE

    JAXSON'S POV"My parents?" I screamed, totally shocked. "How is that possible? They weren't supposed to come back until next week.""It was a surprise," Maria said, looking around nervously. "They arrived just fifteen minutes ago, with guests even. I already told them you and Lily were out for the evening." "Fifteen minutes ago, shit." I ran a hand through my hair, my mind racing. " Okay. Okay, I still need to get the card, Maria. Lily needs it.""What happened to her?""She fell on the ice at the rink," I said. "We went ice skating.""Oh no." She flung her hand to her mouth. This is not good news at all. Your parents will not be happy with this. They're going to have a lot of questions."“Leave that to me," I nodded.She turned and headed back to the Sprinter, and I stood there for a second, tense all over. I was sweating even in the cold. This was really a surprise, and at the worst possible time. I missed them, obviously, the house had been way too quiet without them around, but r

    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

    I stared at the screen until the light burned my eyes. Removed from the W******p group. Then from the squad. What for? What was my offense? My phone rang out. Maya was calling. I picked up. "Clara? Are you seeing this?" Maya’s voice was frantic. "I just saw the notification. I tried to message

    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

    I couldn’t speak.“She’s fading, Clara,” he continued. "Every hour we wait is an hour we don’t get back. If we delay much longer, she might not make it.”The doctor walked away to check on another patient."I’ll get the money, sir. I’ll try," I whispered as he went.My phone buzzed in my hand. I lo
