Ethan POV

I kept my eyes focused on the game, now avoiding both Stefan and Asher's eyes. I honestly was bored already, seeing now I had no interest whatsoever in the game.

My mind soon flew off to another land, a land where I was tormented badly by one person. Stefan.

I could feel the break of sweat on my forehead just from the thought of it all.

Shit! Just what exactly is that jerk thinking of doing with my painting? Doesn't seem like he wants money, so what exactly could he want in return, then?

I needed to find out exactly where he kept that painting, and I needed to find it before he got back to the dorm.

My mind recalled those seductive devilish amber eyes of his, that didn't hide his predator mind.

“How the hell is a slump dude like him able to have such an aura, I have only seen that in someone like my father, also Asher,” I muttered to myself, still lost in thought.

Buzz!

The sound of the last buzzer dragged me right back.

“And the champions are the wolves!”

What? The wolves?

  • Scammed of his heart    Chapter 42

    Asher POV The soothing music from the special room I booked wrapped around me, a gentle hum that drowned out the noise in my head, enveloping my thoughts.The game had gone as planned, with us losing with the fault all laying on James, and now Mr Morello will sure have plenty of financial issues on his hands right now. Just the thought was almost enough to make me smile.The sudden buzz from my phone caught my attention, I gave a short smirk as he always seemed to have such perfect timing for a call.“Good evening Asher.”“And a good evening to you, sir.”“You sound pleased, I'm guessing it all went according to plan then?”“Better than expected, Mr Morello will definitely be having a boarding meeting by Monday, for sure.”“Perfect, just what we need, now that he has blown that much money on a game, he will for sure need that meeting and that's where you come again as his saviour.”“Understood sir.”“Good, and have you met your partner yet?”“No, not yet, he should be arriving very s

    Ethan POV Ohh come on! Why the hell am I seeing everyone I know here? Her eyes caught mine for a split second. My instinct took over, I retracted my steps back, pulling Stefan towards the door shadow to avoid her noticing even more.Knowing her, she could easily find out it's me if just given a second more.“Kiddo,” Stefan called, his voice a deep low rumble, his attention now fixed on my hands, which were once again fisted in his shirt.Ohh right, I adjusted myself again, “Sorry,” I muttered slowly, “I think a friend of mine just caught my sight, and she is the last person I need to find me here right now,” I whispered.His reaction was swift. A strong hand pulled me close, his breath right across my cheek. “And why,” he murmured, his fingers gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, “Would I care about that?”Is he really asking this right now? Of course, he should care! I mean, the only reason I'm in such an ungodly place such as this is because of him in the first place.“S

    Ethan POV “And just who are you to hold me like this?” I said, my entire voice changed, trying my best to sound like an entirely different person.He paused, his gaze sharp, discerning, scraping over my features until he finally released me, as his eyes flickered with uncertainty, “Sorry I thought you were someone I knew,” he said, giving off a short smile.“That's fine then, do try to be too careful next time,” I responded and walked right off, no second spared as I could risk him getting any closer and discovering it's me.Worst of all, I could feel myself slowly getting harder from his touch a second ago. Damn! That was such a close call, thankfully he didn't notice the truth and I got out scoot free.I continued my walk right down to the back room, and finally, I made it in, its lighting was just the same as the theatre room, deemed and soothing.I walked in further, showing my bidding number to the lady at the desk. She did a quick check.“Mr red, this is the account number, an

    Ethan POV The door swung shut behind us as we walked in, sealing us in a hazy of smoke. I knew that smell, it was his brand, more like the brand of smoke he always took.I coughed out from the sick smell, waving my hands to clear the air as we moved forward, the cloud thinning as we penetrated deeper into the den.And damn! I couldn't believe the scene of what we had walked into, tons of people all masked up with different clothes on, some gambling, a few playing with some strippers and the others just drinking like fools.I could tell from just one look that these were all students, not just any students but definitely elites kids, definitely from Crest college and other top schools.Yeah, this was certainly an illegal gambling den, a secret playground for the elite and spoilt specifically.Silver had always described places like these, since she had always followed her father during a lot of ‘his shady business deals’.But this is honestly my first time in such a place and well I'm

    Ethan POV A few minutes passed, I got back to my dorm, dashed right to my room and went straight to his locked suitcases.Which to seem to be filled with weird clothes and masks, like everything inside were all coloured masks with their matching outfits.One would think the dude is part of the theatre with all these costumes, here all together at once., well, except this definitely aren't his sizes.I rammed through a bit and there was not a single trace of my painting in here.“Well, I guess he is not stupid to just leave it here, where I could find it,” I muttered underneath my breath.I poured everything out, still trying to see if I could find something else, anything at this point, that I could use as some kind of leverage against him.An hour passed with his entire room now turned upside down, yet nothing, not a single thing here could get me a stand against the jerk, it was all full of clothes and books with titles I didn't understand.I dropped right down, exhausted, frustrat
