Carolyn’s POV

The weight of J.J.’s bag dug into my arms as I followed him through the hallways.

It was heavier than I expected—probably full of textbooks he never touched. Still, I tightened my grip and kept my head down. My feet moved on instinct, but my heart pounded in my chest like a trapped bird.

I couldn’t believe I had just agreed to this.

J.J. Johnson’s personal servant.

I wanted to convince myself that I had made the right decision—that obeying him would make things easier. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t true.

J.J. didn’t go easy on anyone.

The moment we stepped into the classroom, all eyes turned to us.

Or rather, to me.

Whispers erupted almost instantly. Girls’ eyes narrowed with barely concealed jealousy, while the guys smirked, some looking amused, others intrigued.

Oh God.

J.J. walked ahead like he owned the place—because, in a way, he did. He was the king of this school, and everyone bowed to him in one way or another. And now, I was walking beside him, carrying his ba

  • Rich Love    Chapter Ninety-Four

    Carolyn's POVIt started like a normal day—until it wasn’t. I mean, I was lying when I said the day started like a normal day. Ever since the term started, I have not had a normal experience in the school, and today was the weirdest of all. I could not understand what Julius meant, but I knew that his warnings were real. I don't know what Emma was planning, but I hoped to be able to overcome it. I don't know why she was still coming after me. I already let her have J.J. I already stepped aside for her and J.J's love to blossom, but no, she still had it out for me. I just want her to leave me alone. I don't know what else I could do to get her off of me, like this bitch needs to let me be. The classroom smelled like ink and dust. I was reviewing my Chemistry notes when the announcement came.“Carolyn Okoli, please report to the principal’s office immediately.”My heart stuttered.The room fell silent.Someone at the back muttered, “Ooooh.” Another whispered, “What did she do?”I stoo

  • Rich Love    Chapter Ninety-Three

    J.J.’s POVYou know that feeling you get when you're standing at the edge of something terrible? That split second before a car crashes, before lightning strikes? I felt that all day.It was like something in the air was crackling. The silence between conversations. The hush when Carolyn passed. Even the way the teachers watched her—like she was something fragile about to break, or worse, something dangerous they’d been warned about.And I knew.I knew Emma had done something. I just didn’t know what.I skipped first period.I wandered behind the administrative building instead, smoking half a cigarette I didn’t even want. My stomach churned. My hands wouldn’t stop twitching. Everything inside me screamed: do something.But I didn’t.I kept hearing Emma’s voice in my head:“Trust me. You’ll be glad you stayed out of it.”And part of me still wanted to believe that. That maybe she just wanted to embarrass Carolyn. Make her cry. Make her leave school for a day or two. Nothing serious.I

  • Rich Love    Chapter Ninety-Two

    J.J.’s POVI had this ritual.Whenever I felt like I was about to explode, I’d walk the long way to school. Around the sports complex, past the back fence, behind the old art building. It gave me fifteen extra minutes to pretend I had control of my life.Today, those fifteen minutes did nothing.I still walked through the school gate with a pressure behind my eyes and a stomach full of regret. I could feel something in the air. The way students whispered too fast and turned too slow. Like they were preparing for a show—no, a public execution—and I already knew who the victim would be.Carolyn.I saw her from across the courtyard. Alone. Shoulders pulled in like she was trying to fold herself out of sight.There was a time when I would’ve walked straight to her. Pulled her into a hug. Let the whole world watch. But that version of us was gone. Smashed. Burned. I’d destroyed it.And now… I couldn’t bring myself to move.I turned away. Went to class. Pretended nothing was wrong.But some

  • Rich Love    Chapter Ninety-One

    Carolyn's POVIt had been weeks since school resumed, but this particular morning back at school after the holidays felt strange.I should’ve felt rested. Ready to focus on schoolwork, exams that were going to happen in the next three months, I mean it was still very far, but I won't mind, I just wanted to stop coming to this school, I wanted something, something to get my mind off the wreckage of last term and what had happened to me weeks ago. But instead, I woke with a weight in my chest and a sense of wrongness I couldn’t quite name. Like I was walking into something… waiting to happen.It wasn’t just my usual anxiety. No, this was different. It sat under my skin like a vibration—tense, alert, suspicious. Even my mirror seemed to reflect back someone more fragile than before. I had taken my time getting ready. Extra lip gloss, neat braids, pressed uniform. I needed the armor. Infact, the extra time I take in front of the mirror helps me get my self-confidence back, something that

  • Rich Love    Chapter Ninety

    Carolyn’s POVResuming school after the holiday felt like walking into a fire I couldn’t put out.The morning sun didn’t carry warmth. The school walls, once familiar, now felt like they’d turned on me. The girls at the gate whispered. The boys near the assembly block pointed. My footsteps echoed a little too loudly, like even the ground was trying to make sure I knew I didn’t belong here anymore. I can still remember the beatings I got at the mall; it was very vivid. I can still feel the legs stomping on my body, as I walked past most of the school girls, I couldn't help but wonder if they were part of the girls that J.J. had sent after me. If they were among the girls that beat me up, I was still angry about that situation, I was still boiling deep down in my heart, but I know how much power J.J. holds, and to be honest, I'd rather stay the fuck away from him and just mind my business and forget about the past. Jay Johnson is not someone I can afford to upset further than I have alr

  • Rich Love    Chapter Eighty-Nine

    J.J.'s POVIt was supposed to be a message.That’s what I told myself when I used Julius’s phone. When I typed out that carefully crafted message to Carolyn and sent it off, it was like sending a warning shot disguised as a favor. It wasn’t meant to go that far. It didn't feel good to do that to Carolyn, but I just couldn't stop the pain and anger that I feel anytime I remember what Carolyn had done to me, how she broke my heart without considering how I felt or how much it would hurt me. She deserved what she got, but why does it not feel good?I just wanted her to feel a little of what I had felt. That sting of betrayal. That punch to the gut.But the second I saw her stumble in the mall’s rear-view camera—bent over, clutching her ribs, bruised and shaking—something inside me cracked.I hadn’t expected that.I hadn’t wanted... that.Now I was back in my room, sitting in the same hoodie I hadn’t changed out of since yesterday, staring at the wall like it might offer me some kind of a
