Rich Love Chapter Seventy-Two
J.J.’s POVI slid into Tina’s flat, the beat of music washing over me in a warm wave. My heart raced, relief rushing in. She’s here. I scanned the crowded room. Fairy lights glimmered, laughter rippled through the air, and I felt light-headed—tonight couldn’t have come soon enough. But I did not see her; she told me she was here. I pulled out my phone and texted her, then waited for a few seconds, but I did not get a response from her. That was weird, she normally replies immediately, especially if she has her phone in hand. I reached the entrance of the kitchen and nearly bumped into Emma. Of course.“J.J.?” she asked, voice smooth and casual, but those eyes were cold, alert, suspicious.“Emma,” I replied, trying to catch a glimpse of Carolyn in the crowd.“Why do you look like you are in a hurry?” she asked, studying my expression."Have you seen Carolyn?" I asked, ignoring her statements"Here "She offered her hand, fanned with purpose. “Can I have a dance with you?”I shook my h
Rich Love Chapter Seventy-One
CAROLYN’S POVTina had seen us. I thought to myself after my call with J.J. that night. That thought circled my brain like a ceiling fan on high, spinning, relentless, and noisy.I pulled my hair into a loose puff as I lay on my bed, my fingers trembling slightly. The room was dim except for the lamp on my desk, and though the window was cracked open, the air still felt thick, like it was holding its breath with me.Tina had seen us.She saw J.J. lean in during break time—his hand brushing against mine, his voice low and soft as he whispered something dumb but perfect. Something only we would laugh at. The way he looked at me then? I’d never seen anyone look at me like that. Like I mattered more than anything else.But Tina saw. And now she knew. I wondered if what she saw was one of the reasons she had invited me to her party.I was still staring at the ceiling as moonlight slipped through my curtains, illuminating the soft swirl of shadows on the ceiling. I had turned off the light
Rich Love Chapter Seventy
J.J.’s POVI sank into the leather sofa in the sitting room inside my room. It's familiar creak doing nothing to soothe the tumult inside me. My feet were still in my school shoes, and I felt the scratchy weight of the uniform—no longer a shield, just another reminder that EVERYTHING had changed. My phone lay on the glass table in front of me, messages unread. One from Carolyn, another from Julius, and a dozen from Tina—each nagging at me, each demanding I respond. I couldn’t do it. Not yet. the events that happened in school was still very fresh in my head and mind, I don't know what exactly Tina wanted from me bjut she was beginning to piss me off, and Carolyn having dots in her mind because of Tina, because Tina caught us today has me on the edge. i felt like I would snap, but I desperately did not want to be that person, Mom and Dad were gone—probably out networking or philanthropy-ing, maybe boarding a plane for another conference—you know, the usual. The house was empty except
Rich Love Chapter Sixty-Nine
Carolyn’s POVEvery day at school felt like an adventure. I was scared of what I was doing with J.J., but at the same time, I was excited. There is an excitement that comes with just sneaking around. Although I wasn’t used to lying. It clung to my skin like sweat on a humid day—itching, heavy, suffocating. Yet here I was, living a lie every day, walking the halls of Covenant High like nothing had changed, when everything had.I was in love with J.J.No, worse—I was secretly in love with J.J., and hiding it from the world like it was something shameful. Never in a million years would I ever think that I would fall in love with my school bully, maybe I was in denial all these while because I know deep down that I have always felt something for him from the first time I laid my eyes on him. Now I was in a secret relationship with the boy every girl in school wanted, the heir of the Johnson's empire.We had become professionals at it. Quick eye contact during assemblies, long glances in c
Rich Love Chapter Sixty-Eight
J.J.'s POVI never thought I'd be the guy sneaking around school for a girl—let alone Carolyn. But here I was, grinning like an idiot as I texted her under the table during history class.Me: Meet me behind the science block. Ten mins. Bring that shy smile I like.I watched from the corner of my eye as she read the message. Her lips twitched—almost a smile—and she didn't look my way. But I knew she would come.The thing about being with Carolyn—really being with her—was that it didn’t feel like I had to pretend. I didn’t have to perform, didn’t have to impress. She saw me. The version of me no one else knew existed. Not J.J., the heir. Not J.J., the golden boy. Just... me.As I turned around to see if anyone else noticed us, my eyes rested on Tiona, who, as always, was sitting behind me. She had a frown on her face, but immediately, I smiled at he.r She smiled back. I turned back and wondered why she had been weird these few days. She was clinging to me so much these days that one wou
Rich Love Chapter Sixty-Seven
Carolyn’s POVLoving J.J. was like standing on a tightrope suspended above fire—beautiful, thrilling, but dangerously close to burning me alive.Every moment I spent with him in school felt like a stolen piece of paradise. But the second I stepped through the front door of Aunt Pat’s house, that fragile happiness curled into something else—anxiety.I couldn’t afford to smile too widely. Couldn't let my voice get too light on the phone in case Emma was eavesdropping or Aunt Pat's husband was watching me from the hallway like a hawk. Even the way I held my phone now felt suspicious.“You’ve been on that phone a lot lately,” Emma muttered one evening, perched on the sofa beside Aunt Pat with her knees tucked beneath her designer throw blanket. “Let me guess... your school project team?”I forced a neutral smile. “Yes. We have a deadline coming up.”She hummed like she didn’t believe me. Her eyes lingered on me too long. There was no doubt in my heart: Emma was watching me. Closely.That
