Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 2: A Paradise With The Devil

ASH is not just rich and influential, but he's also a hot mess. A seductive hot mess. Many girls are infatuated with him, probably because of his good looks and charm, which I can't deny. He had that black curly hair and eyes that could penetrate someone's soul.

Guys like him don't know how to love. They just know how to f. uck and switch girls as if they were changing clothes. I've never seen him get serious with any girl. He often targets quiet girls, ensnaring them with his charm, only to leave them once he gets bored.

Is it because he's rich? Handsome? Freakin' influential? Is he so bored with his life that he gets a thrill out of making girls cry and playing with their hearts?

"What a ruthless jerk," I muttered while walking back home. "But as long as he doesn't bother me, everything will be fine."

Our conversation earlier should be the first and last. I don't want to be associated with him further. I

He's a bad influence on everyone. He's making good girls go bad.

However, I am not a good girl either.

"LOOKS like you're coming home late every day now," my dad said to me the moment I stepped into our house.

I had literally just set foot inside the door. I hadn't even put my left foot down yet, but there he was in front of me, his hand on his hips, scolding me.

"There's just a lot to do at school," I answered as I removed my two-inch black shoes and socks. "I'm not doing anything wrong if that's what you're thinking."

Despite my anger toward him, I still showed my respect. But the question is, does he really deserve it? Respect is earned, not given. He doesn't even deserve the politeness I'm showing him right now.

After all the horrible things he's done, I don't know how I still manage to face him, and I don't understand how he can scold me now, after everything that happened four years ago.
