Chapter 2: His Cruel BehaviorJasmine Reign's POV"Well, shall we meet at nine?" Chris asked, grinning at us like he already knew the answer. I nodded, that happens to be my free time for today, so it worked out perfectly."How did you know nine is our free time? Did you… sneak a peek at our schedule or something?" Aby asked, suspicion and curiosity mixing in her tone.Chris just smirked at us, all casual, like it was the most normal thing in the world. Aby lightly punched his shoulder, playful but firm."You got our schedule, but we don’t even know yours! That’s so unfair. Hand it over," she demanded, holding out her hand.Chris raised an eyebrow, giving a slow, dramatic sigh. "Here, bitch," he said, tossing his schedule toward her.I leaned closer to Aby to glance at his schedule. Two free periods. Lucky bastard. Seriously, life’s already unfair sometimes, but that’s ridiculous."Oh, I have English class at eleven this morning too. Reign, you have it as well, right?" Aby asked, peek

Chapter 04: StaringJasmine Reign's POVI chuckled softly at the two of them. They really were cute in their own annoying way. Protective, dramatic, and way too invested in my nonexistent love life."Stop making bets about my future love life, Aby and Chris," I said, shaking my head.They both looked at me, then exchanged smirks like they had just made a secret deal behind my back."I seriously cannot wait to see you fall in love," Aby teased, resting her chin on her palm."And please don’t fall in love, Reign," Chris added quickly. "I do not want to lose this bet."Crazy. Absolutely crazy."We can’t really control what kind of life we’ll have in the future," I said after a moment, my voice softer than before. "If I ever fall in love… I just hope I’ll be happy. And that he won’t hurt me."As soon as those words left my mouth, the classroom door opened. Perfect timing.Our professor walked in, and the room immediately fell silent."Good morning," Mr. Landers greeted firmly."Good morni

Chapter 06: CafeteriaJasmine Reign’s POVWe finally reached the cafeteria, and all I could say was one honest thought running through my head. Damn, it was crowded. The place buzzed with noise, laughter, and the scrape of chairs against the floor. The moment I took it all in, a small wave of discomfort settled in my chest. Too many people, too much movement, and not enough space to breathe.“Choose our seats. I’ll be the one to order our food,” Chris said confidently, already rolling his shoulders like he owned the place. Honestly, that worked perfectly for me.“Alright,” I replied, offering him a quick smile.“What should I order? Type A or Type B?” he asked us. Aby and I both chuckled at the same time. He was still using those ridiculous food codes of his. Type A meant lasagna, cheeseburger, and a can of Coke. Type B stood for salad, soup, and fruit juice, which he clearly judged with his soul.“Type B for me. I really need to diet. I’m getting fat,” Aby said dramatically while exa

Chapter 08: GazeThird Person POVThe three of them glared at him without restraint, their eyes sharp and unyielding.“Did you just warn us?” Draven asked venomously. This son of a bitch really had the nerve to mess with them so openly, as if he did not understand who he was standing in front of.Mr. Landers smirked and slowly began to approach them, his shoes echoing faintly against the classroom floor.“I just did, Mr. Green,” he answered bravely, his tone steady despite the danger written all over their faces.They stared at him with amused disbelief. Was he even aware of what he was doing? He could lose his job in a matter of seconds, maybe even less if they truly wanted it.But no. Before he lost his work, he would suffer first in their hands.Ryder looked at him intently, his gaze cold and unreadable.“Do you know the consequences of your actions?” Ryder asked seriously, his voice low and controlled.Mr. Landers met their eyes without hesitation and answered firmly, “I am comple

Chapter 10: DinnerJasmine Reign’s POV“Yeah, right. I still cannot believe they were that nice too,” I said with a small laugh. “Anyway, let us continue working.”I nodded my head at my own words and smiled faintly.“Alright,” Aby replied.Time passed quickly, and we had plenty of customers before nine o’clock in the evening. Just like my mother instructed, we closed the shop exactly at nine.“You really have the tongue of an angel,” Aby said happily as she removed her cap and placed it on the counter. “You said this café would be crowded tonight, and it actually happened.”I smiled softly and let out a tired sigh. I did not expect it either, but it would definitely be good news for Mom, and I knew it would make her happy.“It has been a tiring night,” I said gently. “We should go home now, Aby.”She nodded. “Yeah, we should.”“Ladies, are you going home now?”We both turned toward Jefferson when we heard his voice. I honestly thought he had already left.“Yes,” Aby answered cheerful
