khairah's haven💜

Hardin crumbled the letter,dismissing it as a trap.He wasn't going to fall for some silly blackmail attempt.But the message lingerie in his mind,he was frustrated as he drove to college.

***Oxford college**

He arrived at school,He spotted Jade in the hallway,He walked towards her,"Look what we have here,The ice queen herself,always hooked up in her studies,still thinking you're better than everyone else?"He spat.

Jade's eyes narrowed,"Hardin,what's your problem?"

Hardin was beyond reason,You're my problem,Jade,I f**king hate the sight of you,you piss me off.

Jade smiled,"Then simply ignore me...is that so hard for you,Act like I never existed and stop bothering my life."

The argument escalated,Hardin's words cut deep,but Jade refused to back down.

You're just mad about something I obviously don't care about,and you can't handle it!You're taking out your frustration on me,because you're too scared to face the truth.

Hardin clenched his fist."You have no idea what you are talking about!"

Who ever offended you is none of my business,Just stop bothering me with your childish character,"Spoilt brat"Jade replied.

Jade snapped angrily,"You know,Hardin,you're like a storm cloud,always brewing troubles and raining down chaos."

Hardin eyes narrowed,"Ice,you are cold and heartless."

Jade smirked,"I'm wondering who is heartless between the both of us."

The student started murmuring

°Can't believe she said trash about my Hardin.

°At least someone can bring down his ego someone added.

The bell rang,Hardin couldn't believe Jade had dared to challenge him like that.But deep down he knew she had struck a nerve,the two of them stormed off in opposite directions.

****chemistry lab****

Hardin entered the lab,because he was frustrated,Tessa entered and shut the door,Hardin darling I despise her,sorry love,She is just a b**tch,yearning for attention, she kissed him.

Hardin adjusted and looked irritated,don't kiss me,I don't like it.

She moved closer to him again and sat on his lap facing him,Hardin gained access to her boobs,and started fondling it,kiss every part of her body,that's kissing ever sensitive part of her body.

Hardin,Tessa moaned when Hardin gave her b**bs a hard squeeze.

Am about to explode with pains ,and I want you to make me forget it ,he shifted her pant from her uniform ,he finally touched her pussy ,her eyes shut immediately ,Tessa couldn't hold her moan,his hands worked on her faster,ouch, hardin,ahh.

"Good girl",let me hear every sound.

She moaned liked a b**tch that she is.

Jade found Beck sitting on a bench,his eyes fixed on his phone.She approached him,her voice soft.Hey,Beck,can we talk?

Beck looked up,"what's up,Jade?"

Jade took a deep breathe,"I wanted to apologize for yesterday.I was totally out if line,and i know hurt you...it's just...I was frustrated,when I needed a friend,no one turned up,everyone just watched from a distance."

"I know..I don't even deserve to be a friends cause why is it that when you've decided to stand you ground...that I now noticed you..i'm really sorry".He replied.

She smiled,"We're cool."

I wanna make it up to you,I want you to go out with me,a date,Jade,Just us,No drama,Just a chance to see if we connect without all the baggage.

Jade hesitated,her mind racing,she hadn't gone out with anyone before.

Jade took a deep breathe and agreed,"Okay,Beck one date,But just as friends,Right?"

Whatever,you want,Jade,just don't cancel on me.

Jade nodded,she hadn't expected to agree to a date,but there was something about Beck's warms smile that put her at ease.

Grace scott burst into her husband's study her face etched with worry,Richard,we need to talk about Hardin's future.

Richard looked up front his desk,his face still as cold as ever,"what about it,Grace?"

Grace's voice trembled,"You're forcing him to switch to business administration,He's not interested,Richard.He's passionate about medicine and it's a great course."

Richard expression turned cold,"One day he would retire and for medicine his children can't take over it,Grace,Business is the future,Hardin will take over this company and that is final,he needs to be prepared."

Grace pleaded,"But can't we just let him follow his dreams?He's talented,Richard and we have seen his results,he aces everything,even if he acts like he does not care,It is obvious he cares a lot about his career,He could make a name for himself in future and not depending on his family wealth."

No,Grace,Our son will have a secure future,even if it means sacrificing his so call passion.

Richard slammed his fist on the desk."Enough,Grace!I've made up my mind,Hardin will study business,and that is it."

Grace's face fell,because of this your attitude that is why we can't find your daughter,She stormed out of the office,crying but her mind kept racing.

Richard's expression softened as he thought about his daughter,"where could she be, is she dead?even with his connection he couldn't find her",He knew Hardin's resistance was just a phase.He's come around to the idea of taking over the company eventually,and when he did,he would be ready to hand over his reins.

Hardin's future was set,whether he liked it or not.

He left his study and went to console his wife,Grace don't start crying again.

Hardin can study hus course,I thought about it,but eventually he has to take over the company.

Grace felt relieved a little bit,and she signed.

Hardin smiled,"as he typed away on his phone.welcome back,Adrian!The boss has returned."

He posted the message on this weibo account,accompanied by a flashy poster he'd designed himself.The poster featured a bold font,bright colors.

©©Get ready for the most epic welcome party of the years,Food,drinks,music,and more,Don't miss out on the fun#AdrianIsBack #WelcomeParty#HardinScott.

Hardin grinned,"he had already started planning the party,booking a trendy venue and inviting some friends."

He waited for Adrian's response,Hardin's phone buzzed with notification.Their friends were already sharing and commenting on the post,hyping up the party.

You're such a show off,Hardin,But I'm impressed,can't wait to see what you have planned.Adrian response finally came.

Hardin smirked,"Whatever",he replied.

**hardin's mansion**

The party was in full swing,with music pulsating and laughter filling the air,the interior and the exterior of the mansion,decorated blue,and white according to the theme,despite the fact that the houseful student are still entering.

Hardin and Adrian made a grand entrance,drawing attention from the crowd.

°Wow,Hardin's finally dressing like a rich kid!someone said.

°One night stand Hardin someone chimed in

°Looking at Adrian right now i'm wet.

Tessa,Angelina,and Tori huddled in a corner,gossiping a ng goggling.I can't believe,Hardin is f**king hot.

Angelina smiled,"Have you seen Adrian?He's even hotter now!I have a major crush on him!"

Tori rolled her eyes,"You're so predictable,Angelina.I,on the other hand,have my eyes on Beck,it's just crush though,I don't do love."

Jade walked in,Her stunning appearance left everyone speechless.

°Am i dreaming,Jade attending a party.

°I know,right,She's even more gorgeous than Tessa!another person chimed in.

°Why does she hide her beauty with just hoodie and Joggers.

Hardin's expression turned intense,his eyes locked onto hers.Adrian raised an eyebrow,intrigued by the sudden tension.

"Jade walked in,flaunting her luscious locks",She muttered.

This are the same people who bullied and belittled me,are the same people admiring my beauty now,She smirked.

Why is this world so heartless?
