Chapter 5

Author: Deer Lantern
Henry smiled at me, his eyes so warm and gentle that I felt like I could drown in them.

Tyler's expression darkened. "Layla, you're mine!"

"You were the one who wanted to break up with me," I said, hiding behind Henry. "I'm not yours anymore."

Nadia was so furious that someone would actually want a gold digger like me.

"Henry, are you stupid?" she snapped. "It's just another one of her tricks! And you just fell for it like that? Your family's fortune isn't big enough to survive her taking y

  • Not a Gold Digger, Just Thirsty   Chapter 9

    I lowered my gaze to Tyler. Candlelight flickered across his handsome face, but all I could do was sigh."The wounds on my knees haven't healed. I still have to change the dressings every day."Panic flashed across his eyes. "This is all my fault," he quickly said. "I swear I've cut all ties with Nadia. From now on, I'll love only you.""I don't believe you." I shook my head. "Mr. Farrell, we come from different worlds. We're not right for each other. Please leave."I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist in a panic. Several candles toppled over at his movement, their flames snuffed out by the sudden movement.When the others heard me call him "Mr. Farrell", they gasped. There was only one Farrell family in all of Brexton. "Is that really the Farrell heir? Oh, my God!""A powerful man humbling himself for love! I'm obsessed with this!"Meanwhile, those who had no idea who he was kept cheering, "How romantic! Say yes! Say yes!"Tyler tightened his grip on my wrist. "Lay

    Tyler looked like he meant what he said. I tried struggling against his grip, but I wasn't strong enough to break free. Henry saw what I was trying to do. He grabbed Tyler's wrist and squeezed hard enough to make him release me in pain. Then, he quickly gathered the bank cards from my arms and shoved them back into Tyler's hands."Layla has nothing to do with you now," he said through gritted teeth. "You have to respect her choices. She doesn't like you now.""That's impossible!" Tyler refused to believe him. "She was willing to climb all those steps on her knees, praying at every step, just to get a rosary for me. She must have feelings for me!"Henry, you must've put some kind of spell on her. I have more money than you do. If she's only after someone's money, then she should be after mine!"I'd only just arrived in this world, so I didn't know how the original Layla had felt about Tyler. But those feelings had nothing to do with me. If she had died and I had ended up in he

    The light turned green. Henry pressed the accelerator and pulled up in front of Starbinks. He bought me ten cups of lemonade."Drink as much as you want.""I wish I could take these back to my world!" I exclaimed, jumping with joy. "Everyone there would be so happy!"Nadia watched from a distance and scoffed. "What an act! She's treating lousy lemonade like it's liquid gold."Tyler stared at me in a daze. "So… it turns out your happiness is this simple."Henry then took me to the supermarket and bought things in bulk.At first, I felt a little embarrassed. Everything looked ridiculously expensive to me, but Henry assured me that these were all ordinary prices here."If you want to fit in quickly, you need to shop nonstop. That's how you'll get used to the currency here."That made sense to me, so I obediently went on a shopping spree.I couldn't shake the feeling that two pairs of eyes were watching me. But when I turned around, there was nothing there.Henry looked puzzled.

    Henry scoffed. "Nadia, don't think I don't know what you're up to."Whenever there's another woman around Tyler, you call her a gold digger and then cause a scene under the pretense of looking out for him."And you call that loyalty between friends? Do you really think we're stupid enough not to see what you're really after? We're just watching you make a fool of yourself."Nadia looked flustered. "You're talking nonsense!"I was focused entirely on my lemonade. I had no interest in gossip about Tyler, so I tugged at Henry's sleeve."Can we leave? I…" I lifted my lemonade to show him."You two can sort out your own mess," he said to Nadia, taking my hand. "I'm leaving."Tyler stepped forward to grab my hand, but I quickly dodged, leaving him grasping at air.Nadia grabbed Tyler's hand, furious."Tyler, believe me. She's a gold digger. She's definitely trying to get your attention on purpose."You know what kind of family Henry comes from. How could that possibly be more tempt

"Layla, you're mine!""You were the one who wanted to break up with me," I said, hiding behind Henry. "I'm not yours anymore."Nadia was so furious that someone would actually want a gold digger like me. "Henry, are you stupid?" she snapped. "It's just another one of her tricks! And you just fell for it like that? Your family's fortune isn't big enough to survive her taking you for everything you've got!"Henry stepped in front of me protectively. "That's my business, Nadia. You don't need to concern yourself with it."He turned back to me, his expression softening, and held out his hand."Layla, come with me."I eagerly reached for his hand. "Okay!"Tyler shoved Nadia aside and strode over, grabbing my wrist with a furious look."Layla, you can't leave."The hand he grabbed was the one holding my lemonade. My heart leaped into my throat."Tyler, let go! You

    Nadia greeted me like she owned the place. "You're supposedly not interested in money, right? Then, you can stay in the maid's room.""I never said I wasn't interested in money," I protested."Right." Nadia sneered. "You're just more interested in Tyler himself, aren't you? I used that trick ages ago. Couldn't you come up with something new?""Just move her somewhere else," Tyler said impatiently.Dejected, I carried my bedding into the maid's room. I'd barely put my cup down when Tyler called me into the living room.He sat on the couch, his expression condescending. "I'm giving you one last chance. What is it you really want?"I felt wronged. "You promised me 200 dollars and lemonade.""Layla, enough already." Nadia scoffed. "You're taking this act too far. Do you think we're stupid? What kind of gold digger settles for lemonade? You're after the title of Mrs. Farrell, aren't you?"I looked at Tyler, but his eyes were cold.I lowered my head in disappointment. "If you do
