My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 26: Don’t Play Dumb
SCARLETT“Th-Thank you for helping me,” I say to Damian warmly, breaking the silence that had lingered in the air between us for minutes with neither of us saying anything.“So do you have the proof yet?” Damain switches back to his business tone, keeping his handsome face stoic.Are we really just going to ignore the gigantic elephant in the room? Is this how he wants to handle this thing between us?“No, not yet but I’m onto something,” I reply in a tone similar to his, despite the tightness I feel in my chest. If this is how he wants our conversation to be, then this is how it’s going to be.“What…..thing?” He asks in a low inquisitive tone, giving me a calculating look. The type that tells me he doesn’t believe I’m onto anything and he would be right, I am not.“It’s nothing concrete yet but I’m working on it.”He scoffs, drawing out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and he takes one out. He hits the butt repeatedly against the fingernail of his thumb before he brings out a ligh
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 27: Her Endgame
SCARLETTI cannot help the pang of guilt that I feel in my heart as his cold judgemental eyes rake over my figure. I know how this looks but he has it all wrong.“I didn’t know you two were related. I didn’t even know who you were until that night we met,” I say calmly, looking straight into his eyes.He scoffs, taking a long drag of his cigarette, blowing the fume on my face on purpose, making me gag slightly.“Maybe it was after that night you devised your revenge plan. You do not fool me,” He says in that same low and cold tone. His eyes are sharp and dangerous at the same time, glaring at me.Why does he believe that I would give my first time to him just to spite Trevor? Wouldn’t that just be a shameful thing to do? Where’s the masterful revenge plan in that? Everything that ever happened between us was a coincidence, none of it was planned.“Listen to me Damian. I know how this looks but I promise you that’s not the truth. If I slept with you just to get back at Trevor, don’t you
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 28: Professor August
SCARLETTI did file for the motion of continuance in court and thankfully, dad got another three month extension on his trial date. I had applied for a month but the judge had granted three. Obviously Mr. Presumptuous jerk and his company didn’t contest it.I know I swore that I never want to see him again but he just won’t leave me alone, always finding a way to squeeze himself into my thoughts.Today I hate him for what he said to me and tomorrow I find myself trying to justify his actions, that I pushed him and that he was kind to me and defended me.I just want him to get the hell out of my head.For a moment I thought something good may come out of that night but I guess I was naive, again. Men are all horrible and I don’t need one.Right now I’m headed to school, ever since this thing with dad started, I’ve been on and off with it and my perfect straight A’s results since first year are already sitting pretty in the mud.Dad made me promise I’ll return and at least try to gradua
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 29: Queen of VBU
SCARLETT“You’re not the only one who went to school young lady, you don’t have to make such a mess because you’re reading,” Mom says, tip-toeing through the pile of books I had littered on the floor.I glance at her and turn my attention back to the book I had open in front of me. I have a very important test coming up tomorrow and I have been studying all week, getting little to no sleep.I was shocked when I logged into my student portal to see my grades had slipped by thirty eight percent and we’re already halfway into the semester. Every single point I can score is important right now, even half a point will go a long way.I know she’s still in there somewhere, the bright girl who always topped her class effortlessly and did it in style, getting perfect scores all the way.She’s still in there right? Somewhere inside me, or has she been drowned out by all the recent troubles of my life?There’s only one way to find out and it begins by acing this test. It doesn’t help that it’s pr
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 30: His Threat
SCARLETTI was sitting in the cafeteria, looking at the long list of things I had to cover. From Essays to coursework to assignments, the list was endless and as fun as it was going to be diving into it, I knew it was also going to be stressful.I felt something drop on the table beside the tablet I was scrolling through. I glanced at it to see a cup of smoothie before I raised my head to see who had dropped it and it was Delia.We kind of bonded after that first day. I wouldn’t say we are exactly friends yet but we are getting there, we’ve been studying together and she’s way smarter than she makes people believe.“Pineapple smoothie for you,” She says, giving me a small smile.“My favourite,” I replied, scooting over to make space for her and returning her smile. “Not for me, I prefer bananas and strawberries. So what are we covering today?” She replies as she takes her seat next to me, dragging the tablet in front of her.I love studying but I’ve never seen someone as excited about
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 31: A Failed Test
SCARLETTWe have just finished our Macroeconomics class, going over a case study when Chloe approaches me and Delia.“Just ignore her,” I whisper to Delia as Chloe walks up to us. I know she’s just coming to stir up trouble, her normal MOU since I resumed back to school fully.She’s probably going to top the class with Delia being a close second. I’ll just be happy to pass and get this degree. One thing I’ve learnt so far is that even if a degree from a prestigious school like VBU will jumpstart anyone’s career in the business world, the horrors of the real business world are different and can eat anyone up.What happened to dad is a prime example of that.“You bitches checked your test scores yet? Rumour has it I’m the only one who got a perfect score,” She says in a haughty and airy tone.Delia looks at her passively, taking my instruction to heart while I make a face. “Good for you.”“What did you get, an F?” She asks, flicking her brows at me.I scoff, rolling my eyes at her. I h
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 32: Victimized
SCARLETTEverything else seems to be going great in school except for the elephant in the room. All my other professors have been kind and very understanding and I’ve been studying hard to get my grades up, putting my feet down and giving it my all.Between Chloe’s gloating over how she’s going to be the best student this year and be crowned Queen of VBU and the constant bullying from Professor August, Delia has been the light.For the first time I know what it’s like to have a friend who doesn’t care about status or anything of that sort. I know I used to be that friend but I’m not anymore and I’ve never been more glad.If anything positive came out of the tragedy that befell my family, it was bringing me down to earth and showing me how wealth, status and position in society can quickly vanish and only people who truly love you for who you are and not what you are, remain.It’s funny how I didn’t even remember that I had given Delia my private library card in our first year to get ac
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 33: An Opportunity
SCARLETTI can hear Delia calling after me as I’m heading to the faculty hall but I pretend not to hear her, picking up my pace instead. I’m not mad at her, I know it’s not her fault, she was only trying to help but right now I just want to be alone.I already had enough problems and now I just lost ten percent of the fucking peanut grades I was trying to improve. Maybe mom is right, I should just quit this school thing and take up a modelling career in her friends agency, at least no one would give me the kind of shit professor August is forcing down my throat.I slip into a seat at the far end of the faculty hall, keeping my head down. If the Dean of the faculty didn’t make this faculty meeting compulsory for every member, I would have just been on my way home after Professor August’s class.“Are you mad at me?” Delia comes into view, sinking into the seat beside me and putting her hands on mine. “I’m sorry.”“Yeah, whatever,” I reply, pulling my hands away from under hers. Can she s
