"Why is Samuel looking at me like that?" Helen wondered as she met Samuel's angry gaze.She didn't bother to look at his table as she went to take her seat to have her lunch in the cafeteria, but she could feel his eyes on her, even as she ate. She nearly choked on her meal.Meanwhile, at another table, Tasha, Anita, and Bridget sat.Tasha grumbled, "I still cannot believe that Helen and Professor Ruben are truly a thing. Do you know that I even spoke to Samuel about it, and he said I shouldn't broadcast what I do not know? He doesn't believe that Helen is dating Professor Ruben discreetly."Anita heaved a sigh and said, "But Professor Ruben is handsome and a young man. It's not bad if he likes Helen and she likes him too. It's still better than if she stole the medicine from somewhere."Tasha shook her head and muttered, "How can Helen be the one getting all the hot men in this university? First, she had John wrapped around her finger after she provoked him. Secondly, most of the guy

At the party, the smell of alcohol and sweat filled the air. Anita and Bridget hit the dance floor, dancing and twerking their bodies, while Helen smiled and stayed in the corner, watching several students having fun. "Come on, Helen. Have some drinks," Tasha said, passing a glass of drink to Helen. Helen declined. She had obviously read stories where people got drugged at frat parties like this, and she didn't want to get drunk. Shirtless guys filled the room, some of them looking at her with pure lust. Helen clenched her thighs together, as her blue dress was so short and she didn't want to send the wrong signal to anyone. If Tasha had not convinced Helen to come along, Helen would have been resting in her room and preparing to leave for home. "Come on, Helen!" Tasha squealed as the DJ changed the music to good rock and jazz, and Tasha went to the center of the dancehall and joined the rest of the students dancing. After all, they were done with their exams, and no one would

Looking at his phone screen, Samuel didn't know what to tell Tasha.He texted her back, saying, "Nothing. I am just looking out for Helen. Since she didn't know that she was trending."Samuel lied. Meanwhile, he was furious to see another man's hands on Helen's waist."What's wrong with me? Why was I jealous at the sight of them?" Samuel pondered, but he didn't have an explanation for his behavior either. He believes that he wasn't into Helen and she was only a bet. His bet, and he must be the first to get her.Looking at his phone screen, Samuel got a text message from Tasha again."Oh, I thought you came because you like Helen, and maybe you want to date her now," Tasha sent another message, and Samuel read it with a furrowed expression."No," Samuel replied."I am not into Helen Kingston," he texted Tasha, before dropping his phone.Samuel went back to his bed to sleep as he didn't want to discuss about Helen for the night again.*****Meanwhile, Tasha tried to send Samuel several

When Helen arrived at her father's company, a multitude of staff members were seen protesting because her father owed them money."Pay us our money!" the staff yelled, while the hired security men tried to stabilize them."Calm down, everyone. The salaries for this month will be paid. But there will be no more employment, except for those that the subsidiary company wants to hire. This is not on me," her father said, standing at the front, and the noise reduced.Helen stood aside, and no one recognized that she was Mr. Robert's daughter. After promising to pay them, Mr. Robert dismissed everyone to return home and rest assured that they would be paid.One by one, the staff walked out of the company, while Helen slowly made her way forward to find her father, who was discussing with some men in black suits."Dad," Helen rushed over to meet him, and Mr. Robert frowned when he saw his daughter."What brings you here, Helen? I thought I asked you to stay at home?" Mr. Robert asked as he w

Meanwhile, when Samuel walked into his room, he sighed, knowing that he had lied to his mother about his feelings for Helen.Samuel knew that his interest in Helen had piqued after he heard some of her colleagues laughing at her and calling her a virgin nerd. It was unexpected that a young woman of Helen's age was still a virgin. Why hadn't she had any boyfriend? It wasn't as if Samuel was a saint in that field.He had dated some female students, but he didn't take any of them seriously. He knew they were only after him because of his father's wealth. At the mention of the Kingston name in Avalon's City, most women wanted that influence, but Samuel knew that his mother kept a private life. She didn't brag online or show off to other women. Instead, she created an NGO page where she gave to the poor masses.Thinking about when his fascination with Helen began, Samuel sighed. He knew that if he didn't win Helen over, he would consider himself a failure. After all, Helen wasn't only a vi
