Sarah lounged comfortably on her bed, a bowl of popcorn resting on her lap as she leisurely scrolled through the university forum.

A smug smile played on her lips.

The moment Ella had been announced as the competition's champion, she had panicked.

The betting poll she created had attracted thousands of participants.

If she honored the winnings, she would have to pay out hundreds of thousands—an amount she couldn't possibly afford.

Fortunately, the forum allowed users to post anonymously.

  • The billionaire forgotten substitute    Wait And See

    Ethan led Ella toward the secluded garden behind the main academic building. The afternoon breeze swept gently through the trees, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers across the quiet path. Yet Ethan barely noticed the scenery. His heart was pounding. He had rehearsed the words countless times, but now that Ella was standing beside him, his carefully prepared courage seemed to disappear. He stole a glance at her. I can't keep hiding this. "Ethan?" Ella's soft voice pulled him from his thoughts. She noticed the nervous expression on his face and immediately became concerned. "Are you feeling unwell?" Before Ethan could answer, Ella reached up and gently placed her palm against his forehead. The innocent gesture made his heartbeat accelerate. Her delicate fingers lingered for a moment before she pulled her hand away. "You're not feverish." Her relieved voice eased the tension in his chest. Ethan stared at her. There was something so pure about her concern that it mad

  • The billionaire forgotten substitute    She Didn't Regret It

    The next morning, Ella woke up with a smile still lingering on her lips. The moment she opened her eyes, memories of the previous night flooded her mind. The restaurant. The cake. Zeke's warm embrace. And, most embarrassingly, the kiss she had stolen before running into her room. Her cheeks immediately heated. "Why did I do that?" she murmured, burying her face beneath the blanket. Yet despite her embarrassment, a sweet smile slowly appeared. She didn't regret it. Not even a little. After getting dressed, Ella headed downstairs. The moment she entered the dining room, she froze. Zeke was already seated at the table. He was dressed in a dark suit, looking as composed and intimidating as ever. But the moment his eyes landed on her, his expression softened. "Good morning, baby." Ella's steps faltered. Her cheeks turned pink instantly. The maids standing nearby exchanged amused glances. "Good morning," she mumbled before hurriedly taking her seat. Zeke's lips curved u

  • The billionaire forgotten substitute    Becoming Bolder

    A delicious Western meal of grilled steak, creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a rich mushroom sauce was soon served. The aroma alone made Ella's stomach rumble. Her eyes lit up as she picked up her fork. She carefully cut a small piece of steak and placed it in her mouth. The tender meat practically melted on her tongue, releasing a rich, savory flavor. Ella's eyes closed in satisfaction as she slowly savored the taste. "Mmm..." The sound made Zeke smile. He quietly pulled out his phone and began recording her reaction without her noticing. Ella was completely absorbed in her meal, her expression changing with every bite. Zeke watched the screen with amusement. He was used to seeing women barely touch their food in an attempt to maintain their figures. Ella, however, ate without hesitation. He found it adorable. When she reached for another piece of steak, Zeke quietly replaced it with some from his own plate, which he had already cut into smaller pieces for
