Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

"What did I tell you the other day?" asked Mason as he handed me a white towel and a cup of hot water. "I told you to avoid them, but why aren't you listening to me?"

I didn't answer. Instead, I sighed in relief, feeling the warmth of the water soothing my body. I also wiped my face with the towel, and it somewhat lessened the cold I was feeling.

"I avoided him, but he was persistent about going near me," I answered, looking at the place where he brought me. "I didn't know that there was such a place in this university. Is this exclusive only for the three of you?" I asked, seeing Haze and Ash's names on two nearby doors.

Mason nodded. "You know who we are... We can't socialize with other people easily."

Of course, I know them. Everyone was treating them like kings, even though they were only clinging to their parents' wealth.

Still, he was the reason why I was freed from Haze's grasp.

"Thank you," I said, and he just nodded.

Because he was also soaked with the rain earlier, he changed into a dark blue t-shirt and black pants. He looked good. To be honest, he seems like a good guy to me, although he had quite a temper sometimes.

"I think you can manage well without Ash and Haze by your side, but why would you want to be friends with jerks like them?" I couldn't help but ask.

Mason chuckled. "Because our families are friends. No one can back out, and to be honest, they are kind. They are just shitty at times."

I didn't answer, but I know that the disagreement was evident on my face. Kind my ass, they couldn't even be considerate to begin with.

I continued scanning the surroundings, admiring the place. But my eyes stopped on the flower vase at his side table. Lilac, my favorite flower, catches my eye.

"Do you want one?" he asked, seeing that I've been staring at the flower vase.

"No..." I shook my head as my gaze fixated on the floor.

However, it seems like Mason could read my mind. He took one lilac from the vase and gave it to me. "If you feel uncomfortable accepting this, think that this is a peace offering for whatever Haze did."

"He should be the one to apologize. Not you," I answered, my tone firm.

"That won't happen. Haze is much colder than Ash." He chuckled. "Anyway, are you okay now? You still look pale."

"I'm not," I honestly answered.

I don't know why, but I feel comfortable around him. It's not the same level of comfort I have with Ash, but it feels like I'll always be safe when I'm around him. He helped me dry my bag and change into a new uniform, which made me confused because how did he know my size?

But I was just glad for Mason's help.

"What did Haze do?" Mason asked, snapping me back to reality.

"He insulted me, mocked me, and disrespected me." I sighed, looking at my trembling hands. The past memories kept coming back to me. "Can you just tell him to stay away from him?"

I raised my head to look at Mason's reaction, but I was shocked upon seeing him gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

"Mason?"

"I'm sorry, but you need to go," he suddenly said as he stood up and gave me an umbrella. "And you haven't had lunch yet, so I bought you one. It's in your bag."

My eyes narrowed in confusion. "How did you know that I'm not yet eating?"

"Haze would come back here at any moment, so you need to go," Mason answered, and that was enough to send shivers down my spine. "I'll walk you out, but only to the gate. I know you don't want attention, and I don't like that either." "I know."

After a few minutes, we're now at the gate. The place here may be inside the university, but the interior is different. It doesn't even look like a dorm or condo unit. It looked like a mansion, a mini one if that makes sense. "Thank you," I said to him. "I know that I can't give you money as a repayment because you already have one, but if you need something, you can ask me."

I didn't wait for his answer. I was about to open the gate when he suddenly grabbed my right arm.

"Being silent won't give you the life that you wanted, so fight when you need to," Mason muttered, looking me in the eye. "Don't suppress the monster inside of you, Sapphire. You are not fated to that kind of life."

I was about to ask him what he meant by that, but he already walked away, leaving me speechless.

WHEN I arrived at the library, I wasn't even surprised to see that it was empty. Most students prefer to stay in their dorms when it's raining. So here I am, returning the books to their shelves alone.

"I told them to return the books where they got them..." I muttered and sighed, remembering how many times I said that to the students, but no one followed me.

Well, why would they? I'm just a student assistant here.

I was just starting my work when suddenly, I heard something at the library corner. I think I know what it is already. A woman moaning in pleasure and their bodies clasping toward each other... Fuck.

Is this Ash again? He's the only one I always catch having sex everywhere.

I sighed. I was about to turn around and ignore what I heard, but that was a wrong move. I thought they were at the other corner, but no. They were just on the shelf behind me, with Ash sitting on the floor, while the woman was rubbing herself to his cock while undressing himself.

Still fully clothed, Ash kissed the woman on the neck. His hands weren't even wandering around her body, yet she was moaning too loud... to the point that I thought they were having sex.

I shook my head in disbelief. However, when I was about to return to the other side of the library to arrange the books, I accidentally stepped on one book on the floor, creating noise in my current location.

"Fuck," I muttered, and I could only wish for the floor to open up when Ash and the girl's gaze were on me now.

The woman raised a brow, clearly annoyed that I interrupted them. On the other hand, Ash was smirking, and his head was slightly tilted. The woman sitting on his was blocking his view, that's why. "My God. Can you leave? You're bothering us," the woman said in an irritating tone.

I raised an eyebrow for a second, but I bowed afterward. "Alright. I'm sorry."

I don't want to be involved with any kinds of mess, especially with Ash. I decided to walk away like I didn't see anything, but I stopped when someone held my wrist. It was Ash.
