The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“Jessica i’m so sorry to have hurt you, i lose control whenever it comes to Irish, i can’t stand anyone hurt her or be rude to her” Arusha said apologetically.

“Leave my seat, i don’t have anything to say to you” Jessica said, her face emotionless. “I know it was irresponsible of me to hit you back, i apolo..” Arusha was saying. “Leave me alone!” Jessica yelled loudly, banging her desk.

Everyone turned to them and immediately began whispering and mocking Arusha

__I can’t believe someone like him wants to date Jessica too” A girl said loudly and the class erupted into laughter.

Arusha returned to his seat, greatly embarrassed.

Olivia felt embarrassed for him, she wondered what was going on.

She could tell Arusha hadn’t gone to ask Jessica out or whatever, something more serious was going on.

“What’s going on?” Olivia asked as Arusha sat down.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

He looked pissed and embarrassed at the same time..

The teacher walked in before he could explain.

“During lunch break…” Arusha said to her and she nodded.

“Woah… That’s gross!!” Olivia exclaimed after Arusha explained the whole incidence to her. They were on break and the students hadn’t left the class completely, some were still hanging around.

“And that was why i couldn’t return your call immediately, the house was heated at that moment” Arusha said.

“I can’t believe Irish agreed to speak to me after all that and none of it even showed in her voice! She was extremely nice to me” Olivia said, still stunned by what Arusha just narrated.

She now understands the whole reason behind Arusha going to Jessica’s seat, the wound on his forehead, her jaw, palm and foot.

Though Arusha had omitted Ethan’ name from the whole thing, he respected the fact that Ethan Harlow is a public figure. Olivia doesn’t know yet that Ethan Harlow is his sister’s employer.

“Jessica doesn’t deserve any of your apology! Yet, she shredded your apology letter andembarrassed you in front of everyone, she was defending her Mum and you were defending your sister, that’s equal. Besides, she hit you first, she’s wrong in every way and she shouldapologize to you instead” Olivia was upset.

“I know but i feel it’s still irresponsible of me to hit a lady”Arusha said.

“You didn’t hit her! You both were throwing things at each other. Okay, agreed that you feel it’s irresponsible of you to retaliate. You apologized already. Twice! you already proved that you’re responsible which i feel it was unnecessary though cause i know you are. It’s up to her now”

Olivia said, irritated with Jessica behavior.

She never knew Jessica was that mean.

“Don’t feel worried about it okay…”Olivia consoled Arusha

“I’m relieved i apologised though, it’s up to her to accept it or not” Arusha said.

“Yeah! We shouldn’t talk about her. A mean person like her doesn’t deserve our precious time, let’s eat Arusha and discuss better things” Olivia said and he smiled.

Lunch break was over and students walked into the class, Arusha and Olivia noticed how they pointed at him, whispered and laughed out loud.

They always mock him but this seems different.

He glanced at Olivia and saw that she was worried too.

“What do you think is going on?”Olivia asked.

“I don’t know, you should ask those two girls, your friends”Olivia said, referring to Danielle and Anna, she believes they’ll know something.

Everyone was in the class by then and the mockery had gone to the extreme.

Some were even sneering at him.

Arusha definitely knew something was wrong.

He called on Anna and Danielle and they were reluctant to go to him at first.

“What’s going on?” He asked them.

They were also looking at him like they won’t want to associate with him anymore.

“I never thought you were this poor, i thought you might be middle class and that was why i was crushing on you but now it’s all over” Anna snorted and Olivia wanted to give her the reply she deserves but Arusha stopped her.

“What is she driving at?” He asked Daniella cause it seems Anna is not interested in talking to him anymore.

“Well…” Danielle rolled her eyes.

“Jessica told everyone in the cafeteria that her brother is the reason you’re in this school, he’syour sponsor and that your sister coaxed him into paying your mother’s surgery bills, your sister took advantage of his weak spot for her! That’s manipulative and unfair!” Danielle groaned and Arusha went numb and pale.

“Allysia told everyone in the cafeteria that her brother is the reason you’re in this school, he’s your sponsor and that your sister coaxed him into paying your mother’s surgery bills, your sister took advantage of his weak spot for her! That’s manipulative and unfair!” Danielle groaned and Arusha went numb and pale.

Yeah… Mr Ethan is sponsoring him but…. his sister hadn’t coaxed him into paying their mum’s surgery bills, Irish would never do such and did this thing just said his sister is manipulative.

“Did you just say my sister is manipulative?” Arusha asked, tightening his fist as he got up and he wasn’t aware his eyes had turned beast-like.

All he felt was rage.

His head spin as he tried to control himself.

He’s yet to digest everything and he’s trying to but someone just said his sister is manipulative.

“No…” Danielle shifted back, she has never seen him look this way.

His eyes shone with rage and his muscles tightened like he’s trying to restrain himself from hitting her.

“I didn’t say that. Jessica did” She said and quickly headed for her seat.

Arusha badly wanted to scream and destroy everything he could lay his hands on.

He needed to vent out his anger.

If only Jessica was a male, he would have punched her till she bleeds.

He wouldn’t mind been expelled.

“Breathe in and out”Olivia’s said quietly and hearing her small voice soothe his rage a little.

She was fuming herself but she knew Arusha was more angry than she was and she could see how he was trying to restrain himself and his eyes … he has never looked this way.

“Breathe in and out” She repeated, that was the only thing she could say at the time, she was lost for words.

He had told her he could be pretty violent when it comes to Irish.

She glared at Jessica who wore a triumphant smile.

She’s probably thinking she would get away with this, Olivia patiently waiting for Arusha to be calm, then she’ll make Jessica regret what she did.

Arusha slowly sat down, he had breathed in and out like Olivia said and it helped him a bit.

He never thought Jessica could be this cruel.

At first, he had wanted to tell the whole school that she wasn’t even Ethan’s relative, she’s notrelated to him in any way, her mother was only a classy maid in his house but he wouldn’t stoop so low to do that right?

He thought she was someone who needed people’s help to change but now it seems she can never be cured.

Hatred suits her like second skin.. Olivia took his palm in hers, hoping he would look at her and he did.

His eyes were almost back to normal but she could see some traces of hurt in it, it didn’t sparkle as it used to, it was dark and grim.

He was indeed hurt by what that beast had said.

He laughed and Olivia face lit up.

She saw the sparkle in his eyes as quickly as it disappeared.

He had laugh, thinking she looks like a mother comforting her son for not buying him ice cream. Her eyes looked sorry like she was the one who offended him.

He’s so glad there’s at least someone who cares for him in this school.

Someone who didn’t turn his back on him even when every other person did .

“Thank you Oli” He smiled sadly.

“I can’t believe that he is, smiling and laughing like nothing happened” Jessica thought glancing at Arusha and Olivia

She wanted to make him sad like he had made her.
