My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 43: Real CEO
SCARLETT Damian frowns at me, dipping his hands into his pocket which only makes his arm muscle stretch, leaving me wondering how it would feel to be in those strong arms again, how much his soft plump lips left hickeys on me the next morning, how he- “Do you have something to say?” Damian says in a stoic tone but he has that arrogant smirk on his face. “Maybe,” I reply, rolling my eyes at him. He scoffs and makes a face. “What do you want? I was perfectly okay with pretending we’re strangers.” “Let’s start with an apology, we can move on from there,” I reply, keeping my face passive. He scoffs before his expression turns serious. “You are a lot of things but a slut is not one of them,” he replies, curling his hands around my waist which only makes my heart pound ten times faster as he walks us to a seat in the middle aisle. “That’s not a proper apology,” I say, scowling at him when we sit down. “Don’t push it,” he says, switching to his cold tone. Jerk. He’s lucky I have to
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 44: His Why
SCARLETT “No! You can’t leave sir,” Chloe blocks Uncle Austin’s path. He looks down at her and he hesitates but when he turns back and looks at Damian, it’s like Damian is a fire that is burning him and he can’t stand. “I’m sorry young lady but I cannot stay,” he says curtly, pushing Chloe aside as every eye in the hall becomes fixed on the drama happening in front. Even the moderator seems too scared to quell the distraction, just standing with his mic to his side and worry in his eyes. Everyone knows the Coles practically rule the city and when such a family feuds, you want to stay away, hence you become the proverbial grass when two elephants are fighting. Chloe stands her ground. Her eyes fleeting through the crowd, realising how embarrassing and how bad this must be for her that the guest she invited to stage literally just a minute ago is storming off but she doesn’t seem to care. For a moment I actually feel bad for her but the thing is I actually need these bonus points m
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 45: Her Test
SCARLETT Everyone seems to be treating me a little bit better since the day I had the youngest billionaire in the state as a guest on our school talk show. People now look at me differently, almost like they used to in the past, they looked at me with more respect and some in awe. I won’t lie, it brought back the feeling of being someone important but I know better than to be carried away by it. It didn’t help that the event photographer caught me and Damian in extra close proximity that day, with my finger on his chest and our eyes lost in one another’s. A silly student blog even released an article, speculating about my relationship with Damian. The title alone is hilarious. ‘QUEEN OF VBU WITH THE KING OF THE CITY?: THE SECRET DATING LIFE OF VALLEYVIEW MOST ELITE.’ And if there’s one person who wouldn’t rest until I gave her all the details of what went down between me and Damian, it’s my new best friend. Yes, BEST FRIEND. Not only is Delia the reason why I currently have a

SCARLETT The faint sound of my something ringing slowly pulls me away from the comfortable hands of sleep. I yawn, then turn my back to where the sound is coming from when realisation hits me and my eyes pop. I quickly grab my phone and it’s a call from Delia. Before I take the call, I already know why she is calling. I am terribly late for school. “Where are you? Professor August is in class and he’s asking of you. He looks pissed,” Delia’s words make me jump out of bed instantly. I only just started to get into his good graces and I’d rather his smile and unnecessary compliments than his scowl and victimisation. This is why I hate working night shifts. I only wanted to catch a few hours of sleep before school in the morning but now I have overslept and my alarm didn’t even wake me up. “Careful,” Lexi says as I bolt out of the door, bumping into her. From now on, I’m using her as my human alarm. “Sorry! I’m late,” I reply, running off to get a cab. It’s a good thing I sh
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 47: Sheep and Wolves
I’m on my way to the restaurant Professor August asked me to join him, wearing a black denim trouser with a black long sleeve shirt and a pair of white sneakers, a white band wrapped around my hair and a tiny pearl bracelet on my wrist, the same build as my earrings. I cannot lie, my stomach feels empty and full at the same time from the nervousness of knowing what he wants, I hope this isn’t about Damian again. The restaurant he picked wasn’t in the highbrow areas of the city but it wasn’t exactly bad at all. The Fab Restaurant was one of those restaurants that catered to the needs of everyone, the rich, the poor and those in between. There was something in their menu that every pay grade could afford, which made it very popular. I’ve been here once before with dad when it newly opened but it wasn’t planned or anything, we just got hungry on the road and The Fab was the closest restaurant. I walk into the cozy restaurant late in the afternoon and the soft lighting and comfortable
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 48: Ariclear
SCARLETT “When we get there, just let me do the talking,” Mom says, keeping her eyes straight on the road and her hands firm on her steering wheel. She has refused to move out of Lexi’s apartment permanently, constantly around, even though she’s rented her own condo unit uptown. “How can I just let you do the talking when I’m the one supposed to be pitching the product? That makes no sense,” I reply curtly Knowing Mom had a lot of anti ageing and anti wrinkling products that she used, I started to compare and contrast different metrics between SkinAlive, professor August’s product and the other brands mom uses. I started with the suitable skin types and SkinAlive, like the others, was suitable for most skin types, the ingredients were largely the same, all FDA certified and I also found some online reviews for SkinAlive, some were negative but most were positive. The only huge difference between it and the other brands was it was far cheaper in price compared to the rest of the b
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 49: Chloe’s offer
TREVOR “I don’t owe you shit anymore Chloe, get the fuck out my face,” I say to Chloe, my eyes fixed on the horse that I’ve just placed a ten thousand dollar bet on, sitting at the horse racing track. “I’m not saying you owe me anything and I’m not going to try to blackmail you either. I just want you to hear me out.” I scoff. “You can fucking try that and see what becomes of you.” “Stop it Trevor! Just fucking listen to me,” she yells in frustration but I really do not have time to deal with her. The adrenal rush I get from watching these horses gallop past each other knowing I’m either going to make or lose money has sort of become my new addiction, a suitable distraction that I need to get my mind off Scarlett. I’m slowly beginning to accept that I’m never going to be a part of her life again. Anytime I try to make things okay, she overreacts, things blow out of proportion and I’m always left there standing like the guy who’s to blame for everything. Fuck her. She doesn’t con
My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me Chapter 50: Next Phase
SCARLETT I thought I would be on my way to Ariclear this Monday morning with the data for the ingredients but I guess not. I left professor August a text and two emails that day but there was no reply. He missed his class on Friday last week and his assistant said he wasn’t on seat when I went to check in his office but I left a message with her. I can’t believe he just went AWOL at such a critical time. I did get back to Ariclear about the delay and they were cool with it, as long as I got it to them within the week. After my macroeconomics class, I’m expecting professor August to show up for Corporate Finance but he doesn’t come. Rather it’s his assistant who comes and gives us an assignment, courtesy of the professor. Frustrated, I run up to her as she’s about to leave the classroom. “Good morning miss,” I greet with a cheerful smile. “Morning,” she replies in a clipped tone. Her facial expression is nonchalant and disinterested. “Did you deliver my message to the prof?” “
