All Chapters of THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Lila's POV The hallway was still packed with guys even though it was getting late. I pushed the heavy trash trolley slowly, trying not to make too much noise. My arms already felt sore from earlier, but I kept going. This part of the job was supposed to be simple — knock on each door, ask the boys to hand over their trash bags, and move on. Easy for most people, maybe. Not for me. I stopped in front of the first few rooms and knocked softly. “Trash collection,” I called out, keeping my voice polite. Some doors opened right away. Others took forever. Every time a guy stepped out, the teasing started again. “Wow, the fat cleaner’s back already?” “Look at her pushing that thing. Careful, don’t break the wheels!” A couple of them yelled jokes that made my stomach twist. I told myself it was because I was chubby and didn’t look like the usual girls around here. They probably thought I was easy to pick on. I kept my head down, smiled when I had to, and took the bags without sa

Jax's POV I pushed open the door to our suite with a cold can of water in my hand, the metal already sweating from the gym. The familiar smell of snacks and gym bags hit me as I stepped inside. Theo was glued to his computer screen, fingers flying over the keyboard while some shooter game blasted from his headphones. Miles lounged on the couch, scrolling through his phone with that focused look he always got when checking swim stats. I dropped onto the empty spot on the couch, stretching my legs out. The cold water felt good against my palm after all those reps. “Where have you been?” Miles asked without looking up from his screen. “Gym,” I replied, cracking open the can and taking a long sip. “And you know what? Lila was there.” Miles’s phone lowered instantly. He turned his head, blue eyes narrowing with interest. “Lila? Who’s that? Since when do we have girls in this dorm?” Theo let out a loud laugh from his desk, not even pausing his game. “I’m sure he’s starting to halluc

Lila's POVI walked into the campus administration office right after my morning lecture, heart beating a little faster than usual. The end of the month was coming fast, and the tuition fees had to be paid soon. I stood in front of the counter and explained my situation as calmly as I could.“I work as a cleaner in the men’s dormitory,” I said. “Can you deduct the fees directly from my salary? I’ll make sure everything is covered.”The lady behind the desk looked at me with kind but worried eyes. She felt bad — I could see it in her face — but there wasn’t much she could do. My scholarship had been rejected for reasons no one could explain clearly, and that made everything worse. I had no other options. No family money to fall back on, no extra jobs that paid enough. This cleaning position was all I had. After a long conversation and lots of paperwork, she agreed to set up the deduction, but warned me it might take time to process. I left the office feeling a mix of relief and stress.

Theo's POV I had just finished my afternoon class when I spotted her near the exit of the building. Lila was standing there in her normal clothes, looking a little tired but still cute with her wavy hair tied back loosely. She had her backpack slung over one shoulder and was checking something on her phone. Perfect timing. I walked straight over, a grin already on my face. She didn’t notice me at first, so when I stopped right beside her she jumped a little. “Oh, sorry for startling you,” I said quickly, holding up my hands. “I’m Theo.” She looked up at me, eyes wide for a second before she relaxed. We shook hands, her palm soft and warm against mine. “Yes, I already knew your name from the boys in the dorm. The one who’s great at games is Theo, and that’s you. I’m Lila,” she said shyly, her voice quiet and sweet. I smiled wider. “Oh, news spreads fast, but I’m not that good. And yeah, I already know your name — better than my roommate does.” I gave her a playful wink, watching h

Lila's POVThat afternoon the campus held a big charity event on the indoor basketball court. Students had set up small booths to sell unused belongings and donate the money. I decided to join in too. I brought some clothes, accessories, and a few old books I no longer needed. Anything that could help raise a little money felt worth it.I stood behind my small table, arranging the items neatly and smiling at anyone who stopped by. Business was slow, but I didn’t mind. At least I was doing something good. I had just finished helping a girl pick out a pair of earrings when I looked up and saw them.Jax and Theo were walking straight toward my booth.My stomach flipped. I became very nervous the moment I saw their faces. My wild fantasies always popped into my head whenever they were near — images of their hands on my soft body, their voices whispering close, all three of them wanting me at once. Heat rushed to my cheeks and between my legs. I tried to focus on straightening a scarf on t
