I had spent the last two days avoiding Ethan like the plague he was.

After what happened that night, the way I given myself to him so easily, only to wake up and see Samantha’s messages.

I couldn’t look him in the eye.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the texts and Samantha's bare boobs starring back at me in those photos.

It was stupid to feel betrayed. Ethan and I weren’t together. Not really. But it didn’t stop the ache in my chest, the humiliation of letting myself believe that night had meant something to him as much as it did to me.

I did not want to confront him, it was no use.

Avoiding him seemed like the best option.

I left the room early, skipped breakfast and barely spoke a word to him when he came back in the evenings.

If he noticed my sudden coldness, he didn’t say anything. He just kept his distance too, as if he had no problem giving me space.

That only made it worse.

I needed a distraction. Something to take my mind off the mess I had gotten myself into.

  • Ruining my Billionaire High School Bully    37

    "This next time your whore breathes near me, I'll have her locked up for life," Eleanor threatened as she nursed her bruised cheek.It felt great to finally stand up to her, but a part of me wished that I didn't. It felt like everyone was against me and I had done the unthinkable.While they all tried to pacify her, I slipped out and headed to the garden.I needed air, I needed to think."I thought you'd be celebrating your victory?" A smooth male voice sounded behind me.I turned around to find Harry approaching the garden bench where I was seated.He had two wine glasses in his left hand and a bottle of unopened wine in the other."It's not much of a victory if your heart feels heavy afterwards," I sighed heavily.Harry shrugged and began filling up both glasses."I'm sorry I hit your mum," I whispered under my breath."I kind of acted without thinking."Harry chuckled,"You should do that more often."I was taken aback by his statement. He wanted me to hit his mum more often? "I m

  • Ruining my Billionaire High School Bully    CHAPTER 36

    I stared at the unsigned contract on the nightstand as Ethan paced across the room, barking instructions into his phone.Sleep had been impossible. My heart felt bruised, my nerves were completely frayed. But the truth was harsh and unforgiving, I couldn’t afford to walk away. I didn't have the money to cover legal fees or pay Ethan back.“I’ll go back with you,” I said quietly, cutting through his conversation.Ethan paused and stared at me I'm confusion. “What?”“I’ll return to New York. With you," I murmured.His eyes searched mine for a long, tense minute before he finally spoke again. “Are you sure?”No. I wasn't. I hated him, I hated his family and the drama. I wanted peace and freedom but my bad decisions have trapped me in a blank space where I can't afford any of those.I nodded. I had no choice.I had to be Mrs King for another year whether I liked it or not.~The jet ride back was silent.Ethan sat across from me, flipping through documents like he was purposely trying to

    The city lights blurred past as I watched from the backseat of my cab, my fingers trembling against the cool glass. I didn’t know if I was running away or just running, but either way, I was done with Ethan King. Done with his threats, done with his lies, done with the fucked up circus he called a life.I clutched my small bag tighter and gave the driver the address of a new hotel I’d found online, one buried in the middle of the city’s chaos where no one would think to look for me. Somewhere I could disappear and lay low till I figured out my next plan.It was past midnight when we arrived at the hotel. The streets were quiet except for the occasional buzz of a neon sign or the hum of a motorcycle speeding by. The hotel stood tall and elegant, its windows gleaming with beautifully decorated iron frames that protected the privacy of guests. I walked in, trying to look normal, even though my nerves were screaming.The receptionist barely looked up. “Room for one?”“Yes,” I breathed. “S

    I slipped the ring into my pocket and murmured a quick thank you, even though I was still completely thrown off. Except Ethan, no one else was egoistic enough to buy gifts for someone they had betrayed.I knew he was here somewhere, I just couldn't guess where.The second I turned my back to leave the market, the weird prickling sensation returned. The hairs on my neck stood up and my stomach formed knots. Something was about to happen, I wasn't safe.I wasn’t imagining it.Someone was watching me.I picked up my pace, weaving through the crowd, but the feeling got stronger each passing second. My hands clenched into fists inside the sleeves of my hoodie. I told myself to stay calm. Just get to the main street, flag a cab and go back to the hotel. Nothing was going to happen and I would be fine in no time.I glanced over my shoulder and my heart skipped.There was a man. Not the same one from the other night, but similar in build, wearing a dark cap, hoodie pulled low. He wasn’t shopp

  • Ruining my Billionaire High School Bully    THIRTY-THREE

    I had promised myself never to leave this room again.After the terrifying encounter on the streets, my mind had been a mess of paranoia and fear. Every shadow outside my window felt like a threat. Every knock on my hotel door made my skin crawl.How long could I possibly live like this?Returning back home wasn't an option, I was having way too much peace of mind. Staying here on the other hand was scary, the man that had harassed me was never caught.What are the odds that he won't come back for revenge. My plan to hide away from the world was working well until I got an email from Mrs Cheng, my supervisor at the office.“Miss Taylor, your presence is required for a Zoom meeting tomorrow morning,” my supervisors email read. “Please dress appropriately.”Panic settled deep in my chest. I had been working in nothing but oversized shirts and sweatpants for weeks. I left most of my fancy dresses at my first hotel and the ones I had left weren't appropriate for work.I tore through my s

  • Ruining my Billionaire High School Bully    THIRTY-TWO

    ~MADISON~Life was simple without Ethan, Samantha and all the unnecessary drama.It was quiet, peaceful and somewhat predictable. I had created a routine for myself which would make solitude more bearable.I woke up, worked from my hotel room, and only went out at night when the streets were emptier or less crowded.No unnecessary interactions, no surprises, just peace and quiet.Or at least, that’s what I told myself.The truth?I was hiding.From the world. From him. From the mess I’d left behind.But it was easier this way.I had just finished an early morning meeting when a knock sounded at my door.I wanted to ignore it but the knocks only grew louder and more persistent.“Miss Taylor?” one of the hotel staff called.I opened the door, forcing a polite smile. “Yes?”“We need to clean your room today. Hotel policy,” the woman explained.I hesitated. Letting strangers into my space felt like a complete destruction of my routine but I also knew I couldn’t refuse forever. It was eith
