Rich Love Chapter Sixty-Two
CAROLYN'S POVThe silence in the car was suffocating. I stared out the window, watching the trees blur past like watercolor tears. My heart felt like it had been wrung out and left in the sun to dry—raw, brittle, and close to cracking. I kept replaying Emma's smug face, J.J's father's cold eyes, and that moment when they found the bracelet in my bag. How had things spiraled so far?By the time I got to the house, my stomach had tied itself into knots. The moment I stepped in through the door, I froze.There they were.My aunt and her husband sat stiffly on the couches in the sitting room. Emma was curled dramatically against her mother’s side, her face buried in her shoulder, sniffling as if she were the victim of a Shakespearean tragedy. Julius stood at the far end, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, jaw clenched, his gaze fixed on the floor.My aunt’s husband looked up first, his eyes sharp. "Carolyn. Come here."My feet didn’t want to move, but I forced them forward one by on
Rich Love Chapter Sixty-One
CAROLYN'S POVI sat on the edge of the garden bench, away from the glittering lights of the party, trying to breathe, trying to make sense of the nightmare I’d just lived through. My fingers still trembled, phantom traces of that cold, heavy bracelet lingering on my skin like a curse.They had actually found it in my bag.It didn’t matter that J.J. defended me.It didn’t matter that I knew Emma planted it there.It didn’t matter because now I was that girl. The one they’d whisper about. The one who was never supposed to be here.A village girl.I stared down at the manicured grass, biting back tears that burned behind my eyes.How was I going to survive this? Emma wouldn’t stop—not now. Not after this. She’d made her move, and she wasn’t even trying to be subtle anymore. She wanted to ruin me. I don't know how I will survive her when I finally get home tonight. Would my aunt side with her daughter if things get bad? bu8t I was determined not to escalate things once I get home, I will
Rich Love Chapter Sixty
Carloyn's POVI stood at the edge of the garden terrace, away from the glittering lights and champagne laughter. My eyes kept drifting back to the massive French doors, where J.J. had disappeared with his father nearly ten minutes ago.What are they talking about?I shifted on my heels, heart tapping out a steady rhythm of unease. J.J.'s father hadn’t even looked in my direction. Not once. And I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t just a father-son check-in.Was he asking about me?Judging me?Was I some charity case dragged into a party meant for pedigrees and legacy?A sharp heel clipped behind me. I turned just as Emma brushed past me, too close, deliberately grazing my shoulder with a smirk."Oops. Didn’t see you there," she said, her lips curled like she’d tasted something sour. "Thought this part of the terrace was for actual guests."I straightened. "I am a guest."Emma turned to face me fully, eyes glinting with venom masked as charm. "You being here is... bold. I'll g
Rich Love Chapter Fifty-Nine
J.J.’s POVI had never walked into my father’s house and felt nervous.I’d walked into this ballroom a hundred times—marble floors polished to glass, golden chandeliers dripping from the high ceilings, and walls lined with old paintings of stiff men in suits and women in pearls. But tonight, it felt different.Because tonight, I was walking in with Carolyn.She walked beside me, her arm gently brushing mine. Her black dress was simple but graceful, the fabric clinging just enough to show her figure while still leaving plenty to the imagination. Her hair was swept up, revealing the elegant line of her neck, and her eyes were wide as they took in the towering room filled with socialites, politicians, and high-powered guests.She was nervous. I could tell by the way her fingers kept fidgeting with her clutch. But she held her head high, like she was determined not to show it.I glanced down at her and whispered, “You okay?”She gave a small nod. “Terrified. But I’m pretending not to be.”
Rich Love Chapter Fifty-Eight
Carolyn’s POV I couldn't stop smiling.It felt… strange, this happiness that bubbled up whenever I thought about the camp. And it wasn’t just because of the activities or the people or the food (though I did enjoy the endless supply of abacha). It was J.J.In the beginning, I had never imagined that I'd enjoy spending time with him. After everything I have experienced with him—his reputation, his sharp words, his coldness—I have experienced him being unbearable, someone to avoid at all costs. But now, after the days we spent talking, laughing, and even just sitting in silence, I realized that he would be a delight to be around if he wanted to be, It made me understand Emma more and why she was so crazy about J.J. J.J. had layers. Beneath that tough exterior, there was a side of him that most people didn’t get to see. The more I saw, the more I liked what I saw. He was funny. Kind. Even when he tried to act aloof, I could see the care in his eyes, the way he always made sure I was ok
Rich Love Chapter Fifty-Seven
J.J.’s POVI couldn’t stop smiling.I tried to. Honestly, I did. I bit the inside of my cheek. Stared up at the sky. Even shoved my hands into my pockets to keep from fidgeting like a lovesick idiot. But it didn’t matter. The grin wouldn’t go away.Carolyn—Carolyn—had just said we could start again as friends.It wasn’t a full-blown confession. It wasn’t some dramatic kiss under the stars like in those sappy movies my mom used to make me watch when she bothered being home. But it felt real. Grounded. Like the start of something better than all that.Friendship. That was the foundation, right? And from where I was standing, with her hair shining silver under the moonlight and her voice still echoing in my ears, that was more than enough.“Okay, but”—Carolyn's voice broke through my thoughts as she stood and brushed off her hands—“you’ve got to work on yourself if we’re going to be friends.”I blinked. “What?”She turned to me, arms crossed, one brow raised in that way that always made
