J.J.’s POV

For the first time in weeks, I didn’t wake up with the weight of dread sinking in my chest. The moment my eyes blinked open, I remembered: She’s mine.

Carolyn.

My girlfriend.

Even thinking the words made my heart hammer like a lunatic in my chest. I lay there in bed, staring at the ceiling with the stupidest grin on my face. I couldn’t stop it. Couldn’t tone it down. The world might be burning outside, but I didn’t care.

We were together.

Secretly, of course. But still.

Every time she smiled at me in class—just a brief flicker of her lips before she’d quickly look away to avoid suspicion—I felt like I could float. When our hands brushed by accident in the hallway and she’d shoot me a tiny glance that only I was meant to notice, it felt more thrilling than anything I’d ever done. And I’d done a lot.

Being with her was like holding a spark in my hands—dangerous, electric, and impossible to let go of.

    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

    Chapter Title: The Secret We ShareCarolyn’s POVI kept my eyes trained on the path ahead, my hands clutched tightly around the straps of my backpack like they were the only things anchoring me. The school day had dragged by like an eternity, and the weight of every avoided glance, every silenced urge to turn and look at J.J, pressed down on my chest like a rock I couldn’t lift.Avoiding him hurt more than I thought it would.But I had to.I had to if I wanted any chance at peace—any chance at keeping my place under Aunty Pat’s roof. At least until I could figure life out on my own. What was the alternative? Stir up more chaos? Watch Emma unleash another round of venom, or worse—his father crush me under the weight of his cold disapproval?No. I couldn’t afford to get pulled back into J.J’s world. Not again.The sun was low in the sky, golden rays slicing across the school walls as I walked toward the exit. I was supposed to be heading to the parking lot where the commercial cabs usua

  • Rich Love    Chapter Sixty-Four

    J.J.’s POVThe school lounge was unusually quiet for break time. The buzz of students laughing and chattering outside in the corridors felt miles away, like distant static.I sat alone on the leather couch, hunched forward, elbows on my knees, staring into my barely touched bottle of soda.Everything felt wrong.Carolyn wouldn’t even look at me. Tina was back with a smile too wide and too sweet to trust. And my head was a fog of thoughts I couldn’t untangle.I took a sip of the soda. It was warm now. Tasteless.I leaned back and exhaled slowly, my mind drifting toward the same question that haunted me every day since the party:"Why does it all feel like it's falling apart?"The lounge door creaked open, and I didn’t bother looking up—until I heard a familiar voice.“Yo.”Julius.I raised my eyes slowly, blinking like I wasn’t sure he was real.He stepped in, tall and calm as always, his hands in his pockets. Right behind him—George.My heart sank. I straightened, unsure if I should
