All Chapters of HER LOST BROTHER IS A BILLIONAIRE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“He must be poisoned tonight, at the party,” one of them said flatly. And no mistakes.The plan is final.This was happening on the final exams in NYU. Although that day was supposed to be a day of pressure and excitement.Students hustled through hallways with textbooks in one hand and party flyers in the other.It was both a climax and a farewell—an ending wrapped in celebration.But despite what it seemed to offer, there was an evil plan working in secret.Then, just before the final paper, everything unfolded.At that moment, Samantha’s focus wasn’t on the last paper.After dropping off an assignment for a lecturer, she wandered toward the quiet zone behind the Science Building—a part of campus she'd never explored, with two material books in her hand.She hadn’t walked five steps into the quiet alley when voices stopped her.A group of boys huddled by the bend. She ducked behind a wall.She stepped forward, her movements slow and cautious, until she reached the edge of the wall,

The Marlton Hotel glowed under the soft light of campus evening. Inside, the ballroom was alive—and so was everything outside it, within the fenced compound.. Music blasted through the speakers, lights flashed across the walls, and students danced as if they had nothing to lose.Jake’s department was celebrating the end of their final exams. Other departments were there too, and the whole hotel was packed from both inside and outside. Laughter echoed everywhere. Phones flashed like cameras at a movie premiere.The outfits were wild. Some girls wore dresses so short they barely covered anything. Guys rolled up their sleeves, showing off tattoos and muscles. Everyone looked free and bold. It felt like the rules had been left at the door.Samantha sat at a corner table with Naomi.“Look,” tapping Naomi—“Marian, Tasha, Joan!” Samantha pointed, watching their friends walk in arm-in-arm with their boyfriends.She jumped up, waving.No reaction.“They didn’t see us,” Naomi said.“I’ll call T

Samantha couldn’t help but endure mockery in the waiting room. She noticed a group of ladies sitting nearby, each holding a file. Whenever they glanced at her, laughter followed. Some even pointed or whispered, mocking her, but she had no idea why. It began to get under her skin. The laughter was constant and cruel. She looked away, avoiding eye contact. All she wanted was to sit quietly and wait for the man inside the office to come out. Time crawled by. She waited for hours. Then, about thirty minutes later, Samantha shifted slightly, trying to be more comfortable. She didn’t realize the chair she sat on was broken. Without warning, she tumbled backward, landing hard on the ground. The room erupted. The same ladies burst into loud, mocking laughter. Her heart sank. Her face flushed. Shame wrapped around her like a heavy blanket. She wished she could vanish on the spot. It was an embarrassment beyond words. She stayed down, covering her face, too humiliated t

The next day, news broke out in school that shook the school, most especially the beneficiary students. At first, Samantha heard it from one of their lecturer during his lecture. The lecturer rounds the lecture with the news of the day.Horizon Foundation Scholarships are coming soon to reward their beneficiary who are the best in their study…The whole class shouted, and everywhere became lovely..We can wait to see him…We love him..We await his coming….We are ready to have him…shout of joy coming from a different area.It’s already in your dashboard, the lecturer added.Then everybody locked on their phone, checking.Samantha opened it and saw that it was well written. It is true;Subject: Horizon Foundation Scholarship Update Dear Students, We are pleased to announce that the founder of the Horizon Foundation will be visiting the campus as soon as possible. A special event will be held to honor the scholarship recipients. The date will be fixed soon; get prepared. —Office of

Samantha’s thoughts raced faster than her heartbeat.Should she find a reason to say no?Or should she embrace the moment?Or was there any reason to hold back?Her eyes met Clark’s, who was standing just behind him.He gave her a gentle smile and a small nod—his way of saying yes, accept him.But then she turned her face away.Her mind raced through every reason she might say no to Jake.Jake was no longer the cultist she once feared. Ever since they’d saved Frek from that poisoned drink, Jake had publicly renounced the Brotherhood, cutting ties with his former life and vowing to stay free of secret allegiances.He’d proven his devotion: He proved his devotion again and again—paying her hospital bills without question, cutting off every other girl who had ever chased him, or he had once had a relationship with a benefit, and declaring himself hers alone.And the final seal of approval? Her parents adored him.Jake’s trembling voice broke into her thoughts. Still kneeling in the cente
