Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

Chapter 12

12. I can’t believe her…

I snap out of the daze I find myself in as Aiden berates Coraline for a crime she did not commit, and rush to her side. Aiden’s rant gets cut midway when I shoot him a glare, but the thunderous expression on his face does not change. For a moment, I wonder if he is drunk, but no, he looks stone-cold sober. This means that pushing Coraline and demeaning her like this was done intentionally.

I turn back to Coraline, anger humming in my chest. I did not like her, but that was another issue. It wasn’t right to be treated like this by her own boyfriend.

“Here, let me help you get up,” I ask her gently, and she nods, clearly shaken by Aiden’s actions. She lets me help her to her feet.

Aiden continues to glare at us, a storm brewing in his eyes. I know I’m not helping my case right now, but damned if I leave a girl alone in a situation like this, no matter how badly she treated me.

“You don’t have to go with him if you don’t feel safe,” I whisper to Coraline. Distantly, I saw the Maybach my father had assigned to me approaching the parking lot, “Gerald has come to pick me up I can give you a ride home if you don’t want to go in and join the party.”

Coraline opens her mouth to talk, but Aiden’s hard voice cuts her off.

“You bitch! You’re not even trying to hide it!” he roars, taking a step. I immediately put my body in between them, afraid he was going to hit her, “you’re fucking him, I see that now. You’ve been fucking him behind my back all this time.”

“No, Aiden, I have never cheated on you,” Coraline defends herself, her voice wavering as she’d about to cry, “Jace, please leave us. You’re making things worse.”

“I won’t leave you here alone with someone whose willing to beat you up,” I reply, matching Aiden’s glare, “And for the record, no, I am not in any sort of a relationship with Coraline”

“Oh, that’s rich coming from you,” Aiden sneers, “don’t you have a girlfriend, too, cockroach? Saw you two chatting and giggling in the campus cafeteria the other day, giving each other the heart eyes. Where’s she now?”

“What do you mean?” I question, unnerved by this sudden change of topics. The feeling in my gut worsens.

“You even tried to go down on her, didn’t you, Jace?” somehow, when he says my name it’s more insulting than calling me ‘cockroach’, “Didn’t have much like with that huh?”
