THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET Chapter 50: After the Heat
Lila's POVWe were both still panting, bodies slick with sweat. Jax held me firmly in his lap, his arms wrapped around my waist, keeping me pressed against his chest. I could feel his heart beating fast against mine.The car windows were completely fogged up, and the air inside felt thick and warm. I slowly lifted my head from his shoulder so I could look at him.His eyes were dark, but soft. He brushed a strand of hair from my face with his thumb.“I hope this makes you feel better,” he said quietly, his deep voice rough from everything we had just done.I smiled a little, still catching my breath. “It did. A lot.” I paused, then added softly, “Jax, I’m sorry I couldn’t pay my debt on time.”He shook his head immediately. “Don’t ruin the mood. I don’t even consider it a debt. I’m sure you’ll pay it back when you have enough money, but right now, focus on your mom. That’s what matters.”I nodded, resting my forehead against his for a moment. “I miss Theo and Miles,” I whispered.Jax c
THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET Chapter 49: A Late Night Visit
Lila's POV I sat at the small dining table, pushing the food around my plate with my spoon. Dinner with Mom was usually my favorite part of the day, but tonight I felt completely lost in my own thoughts. The rice and vegetables tasted like nothing. My mind kept replaying everything — the fake photo, the rector’s cruel words, the way I had to run from the guys I cared about. I barely noticed when Mom put her spoon down and looked at me. “You seem lost in thought tonight, sweetie,” she said gently. “What’s wrong? You’ve been quiet since you got home.” I forced a small smile and shook my head. “It’s nothing, Mom. Just tired from class and everything. I’m fine.” She studied my face for a moment, her eyes full of quiet worry. I hated lying to her, but I couldn’t tell her the truth. How could I explain that I was no longer studying at college, that I might lose my only job, that everything was falling apart? She already had enough to carry with her health. “You don’t have to car
THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET Chapter 48: Family Tension
Jax's POVI sat in the passenger seat of my father’s car, staring out the window. My knuckles were still raw, dried blood cracking on my skin. I didn’t look at him. I didn’t want to.The silence lasted only a minute before he started.“Isn’t it enough that you’ve embarrassed our family again?” my father said, his voice tight with irritation. “Fighting in public? On campus? You’re the basketball captain. People look up to you. And you act like this?”I let out a short, bitter chuckle, still not turning my head. “Maybe you should ask yourself the same thing. Aren’t you ashamed to take my father's place and pretend nothing happened?”The car went quiet for a second. I could feel him gripping the steering wheel tighter.“Shut up,” he snapped. “You know exactly what will happen if you keep acting like this. Focus on your basketball and ignore that little bitch. Don’t think I don’t know what you and your friends did with that girl.”I finally turned to look at him. My glare was sharp. “You
THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET Chapter 47: No More Mercy
Jax's POVI couldn’t hold it in anymore.The moment Lila told us she had been expelled, something inside me snapped. The fake photo, the rumors, Abigail’s threats — it was all too much. Lila didn’t deserve any of this. She was kind, hardworking, and scared. And now she was losing everything because of jealous, cruel people.I turned and started walking fast toward Jake’s room. My blood was boiling.“Jax, wait!” Theo called after me, hurrying to catch up. “Don’t do whatever’s on your mind. I know you feel like you want to throw her in hell, but you also have to think about Lila. If you get in trouble, it’ll only make things worse for her.”I didn’t slow down. “I’m not going to kill him. I just want answers.”Theo grabbed my arm, trying to slow me. “Jax, come on. Let’s think this through. You’re the basketball captain. You can’t afford to get suspended or kicked out.”I shook his hand off. “He helped Abigail ruin her life. I’m not letting that slide.”Theo sighed but kept following me.
THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET Chapter 46: The Breaking Point
Lila's POVHearing me say I had been expelled hit them like a punch.“They can’t do that,” Jax said, his deep voice low and sharp. “This is bullshit. That photo is fake. Abigail is the one who did this. I’m going to find her right now and—”“Jax, stop,” I cut in, my voice shaky but firm. Tears were still running down my cheeks, but I wiped them away quickly. “Getting angry will only make things worse. I don’t want any of you to get in trouble because of me. Please. Just… let it be for now.”They looked like they wanted to argue. Jax opened his mouth, then closed it again, frustration clear on his face. “But Lila—” Theo started, his voice tight.“I mean it,” I said softly, looking at each of them. “I need time. And space. Just for a little while. I’m fine. Really. You don’t have to worry about me.”The three of them exchanged looks. I could see how much they wanted to pull me closer, to comfort me, to fix everything right then and there. But they held back. Jax took a deep breath, tr
THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET Chapter 45: The Rector’s Judgment
Lila's POVI was still shaking in Miles’ arms when the crowd suddenly parted. The rector himself walked through, his face dark with anger. Everyone went quiet immediately. He looked at the scene — Miles with bloody knuckles, Jake on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, and me standing there with tear-streaked cheeks and trembling legs.“Enough,” the rector said loudly, his voice carrying across the field. “Everyone leave. Now. Except for these five.”People scattered quickly, whispering as they went. Jax, Theo, Miles, Jake, and I remained. The rector didn’t say another word. He just motioned sharply for us to follow him. My legs felt like lead as we walked across campus toward his office. Jax tried to stay close to my side, but the rector shot him a sharp look that made him fall back. Theo and Miles stayed near me too, their presence the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely.Inside the rector’s office, the air felt heavy and cold. He sat behind his big wooden des
