The Billionaire CEO Returns to College のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Michael, unprepared for the punch, reeled back and landed on his a*s. He didn’t say down for long though. He hopped back to his feet and charged at Devlin.“Noooo! Devlin!” Faith ran forward and planted herself between the men, shielding Devlin behind her. At the last moment before another punch landed on her, Devlin pushed her out of the way. She stumbled to the side. The punch landed on Devlin’s cheek instead, causing his head to snap back. Faith screamed, throwing herself between them again. Someone grabbed her from behind, pinning her hands to her side. She fought and trashed but they held on tight.Devlin was prepared for the next attack. He sidestepped quickly causing Michael to lose his footing and fall to the ground again.He was a little slower in getting up this time. Devlin watched him through dark, stormy eyes, waiting for him to rise like a predator playing with its food.By this time, the party had stopped around them and the partygoers formed a ring around them. Sever

"Good night," Devlin called over his shoulder as he left the room.Faith remained standing there for a while, too stunned to move. What just happened? She thought for sure he was coming to her but he'd just whirled around and left.It wasn't fair for him to leave after looking at her with eyes like that. There went her sweet night of rest.Time ticked by. When it became apparent that he was not going to return, Faith put off the lights, crawled into bed and pulled the covers over her head.Due to her severe fatigue, it wasn't long before Faith was asleep. The murky waters pulled her under, stamping out every thought so that her body could recover from the strenuous day.She was completely out of it, oblivious to the slow crawl of time so she couldn't even say how long she slept before the dream started.The tendrils of the dream slowly stretched their way into her mind, wiggling past her mind's rest shield and pushing into her brain. The dream started with Devlin leaning against the

The next time Faith woke up, the sun was already shining brightly in the sky. She dragged herself off the bed, stretched and yawned.The time on her phone read 2:34. It was already midday! She'd already missed her classes! She panicked, then remembered that it was Saturday.She breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing she'd missed was studying and she could catch up on that later today.She trailed her way to the bathroom and took a shower. After the shower, she realized that she didn't have anything to wear.She'd tossed her clothes from yesterday on the bathroom floor where they lay all night. She couldn't bring herself to wear it again, and neither could she go walking around the mansion in only a T-shirt in the afternoon.Just as she was contemplating what to do, there was a knock on the door. She panicked, thinking it could be Devlin. Maybe if she didn't answer, he would go away.The knock came again. She sighed and wrapped the towel around her naked body. She exited the bathroo

Faith kept her head down as she walked the halls of Greenfield. She couldn't even walk her hallways without being stared at and pointed at.She hadn't ventured out of her apartment since Saturday but she had to go for classes today. She'd spent the weekend preparing herself for the inevitable.She stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath. There probably wouldn't be as many reporters as Saturday since two days had already passed, but Sheila had gone ahead and sent her a message that there were still a few left.She adjusted her clothes, one of the outfits Devlin bought her. Sheila and Adele had spent hours convincing her that if her every move was going to be photographed, she should be well dressed for it.They argued that she would look back in the future and regret her tacky clothing choices. She agreed so here she was clad in designer from head to toe. The girls had happily provided her with shoes and bags.If only everyone was as excited at the prospect of her dating De

Faith watched her dad from across the table. His arms were folded and he looked positively angry.Devlin was seated beside her, also facing her father. He had one hand on the table and sported an easy smile.Her dad had all but dragged her out of the car and demanded that Devlin do the same. He'd come down without a fight which Faith was grateful for."What are you doing here, Dad? You didn't tell me you were coming?""How would I have told you when you haven't been picking up my calls for days?"She blushed and kept her head down. Devlin gave her a surprised look. She ignored him."I was planning to call you tomorrow.""Really? Somehow I don't believe it.""But how come you're here Dad? What about work?""I took a break. This is a dire situation. Your mother was going to come as well but Mrs Wilkins wouldn't give her the day off.""You didn't have to come.""Of course I did! I met you with your mouth almost glued to his!""Dad!" They hadn't even kissed her when he interrupted. She ke
