All Chapters of THE CLEANER'S TRIPLE BET: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lila's POVAfter lunch, Theo and Miles had to leave for their afternoon classes. They said goodbye with easy smiles and quick waves, leaving me alone at the table with Jax. The cafeteria wasn’t very crowded, but the few people still there kept glancing our way. The whispers grew louder — I could hear them clearly now. “Why is she sitting with him?” “Isn’t she the cleaner?” “Look at her… and him?”I felt awkward, like I was taking up too much space. My hands twisted together in my lap as I stared at the empty trays on the table. Jax noticed right away. He shifted closer in his seat and tilted his head to look at me.“Hey, are you okay?” he asked, his deep voice gentle.I shrugged a little, still not meeting his eyes. “I just… feel weird about all this. Everyone’s staring and talking.”Jax leaned back slightly and gave a soft chuckle. “Ignore them. They’re just jealous they can’t be in your position.”That made me look up at him. “But I also feel like I don’t deserve to be here. Among t

Lila's POV Class had finally ended, and I let out a small sigh of relief as I packed my notebook into my bag. I hoped I wouldn’t run into Abigail and her friends again today. The hallway felt quieter now, and I just wanted to find a peaceful spot to work on my assignment. As I walked down the stairs, my phone suddenly rang. I pulled it out and saw Mom’s name on the screen. “Hi, Mom,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. “Hi, Lila, am I bothering you, sweetheart? How’s school?” she asked, her voice soft and tired. “Ah, no, Mom. I just got out of class. I’m going to take a quick break before going to the library to work on my assignment. What’s up?” I asked, slowing my steps. There was a short pause on the other end. “Umm, I know I shouldn’t be saying this, since you haven’t been paid yet, but the hospital just called me again and—” “It’s okay, Mom,” I cut in gently. “You don’t have to feel bad about asking. It’s my responsibility. I’ll ask the administration if I can get my paycheck

Lila's POV Night came faster than I wanted. After finishing my classes and thinking about everything that happened during the day, it was time for my other job - cleaning the boys' dorm. I stood in front of my small mirror in my room, staring at my reflection while I changed into the tight black uniform. The short dress hugged my round belly and thick thighs, the white apron sitting snug over my heavy breasts. I felt nervous, but not only because of the work. I had been thinking about Jax's offer all afternoon. Lending me the money for Mom's hospital bills could solve everything right now. I couldn't get my salary early, and the administration had already turned me down. This might be the only way out. But on the other hand, I worried what other people would think. They might see me as a gold digger - a poor chubby girl getting close to the popular guys just for money. That thought made me feel small. I was already stuck between Jax, Theo, and Miles, and I didn't want things to

Lila's POV Two days had passed since that kiss with Jax in the laundry room, but it still felt like it had just happened. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel his lips on mine and the warmth of his hands on my cheeks. I tried not to look for him yesterday during my shift at the dorm, but my eyes kept darting around anyway. He wasn’t there. Not in the hallways, not in the gym, not even near his suite. The emptiness made me feel strange — a mix of disappointment and relief. Right now, I was still sitting in my classroom even though everyone else had already left. Classes had ended twenty minutes ago, but I stayed behind to finish some assignments. The quiet room helped me focus. I was bent over my notebook, writing carefully, when a familiar deep voice suddenly broke the silence. “Hey, Lila.” A strange shiver ran down my spine. I lifted my head slowly and saw Jax walking toward me with that easy, confident smile on his face. My heart jumped. He pulled out the chair right in fro

Lila's POV The next day felt like a blur. I barely slept the night before because my mind kept replaying the two very different kisses — Jax’s deep, passionate one in the classroom and Miles’s more aggressive, hungry kiss in his car. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw their faces, felt their hands, and remembered how easily my body had reacted. By morning I was sleepy all day in class. I couldn’t concentrate on the lectures or my notes. All I could think about were wild scenes with Jax and Miles. In my head, Miles’s hand was squeezing my breast again while Jax kissed me deeply. The images made my body hot. I felt that familiar ache between my legs and a wetness starting to build. I shook my head quickly, trying to push the thoughts away. There was a sensation in my groin that I couldn’t explain, but I knew it was my perverted mind working overtime. I crossed my legs under the desk and tried to focus, but it was useless. When classes finally ended, I wanted to go straight to the do
