Chapter 2 The documents

Chapter 2

I approached Lesley with a smile.

"Stay away from me!" she shouted, but I didn't back down.

"You like bullying so much, right?" I asked with a smirk.

"What do you want?" she snapped.

I grabbed the paint from the table and poured it over her.

"Oh my God... Eww! What did you do to me?"

Still unsatisfied, I grabbed her by the hair and dragged her toward the restroom. She struggled, but I didn't let go. By now, many students were watching, some even recording the scene.

When we reached the restroom, I shoved her face into the toilet repeatedly.

"Taste your own medicine," I sneered.

It only stopped when a teacher arrived.

"What is the meaning of this, Ms. Wilson?"

I didn't answer because I didn't care.

"Go to the office now! All of you!" our teacher yelled angrily.

As we entered the dean's office, I noticed a man sitting with Mr. Dean.

"Mr. Dean, I have something to report," the teacher said.

"Not now. I have an important guest," Mr. Dean replied.

The man turned around, and only then did I get a clear look at his handsome face. He was staring at me. Was this my illusion? He seemed to be smiling.

"It's okay, Dean. Deal with your troublemaker students first," he said, then walked past me, stopping just long enough to whisper, "My little kitten is a troublemaker."

What the-? Who was this guy? I didn't even know him.

Before I could say anything, he was gone.

The teacher explained the situation to the dean.

"Dean, please help me! Expel that girl! Look at what she did to me!" Lesley whined dramatically.

"This is too much, Miss Winston. I can't expel you, but..."

The dean hesitated. Of course, he wouldn't do it-my family is the second-largest investor in this prestigious school.

"But... you are suspended for one week. That's your punishment."

"What? One week? No!" Lesley screamed.

"Shut up. And you, Miss Cruz, will be suspended for one month. I've received multiple reports of you bullying students."

Blah, blah, blah.

I left, irritated. Honestly, I'd rather be expelled for a week. Besides, tonight, Dad was leaving for his so-called business trip. In reality, he was going to spend a week with his mistress. This was the perfect chance to expose his lies to Mom.

I returned to school because I needed to get some documents regarding a piece of land being auctioned. In my previous life, Jaine acquired that land for a low price, and it changed her life. The land became highly profitable after a year, generating billions in revenue. Because of it, she secured a 30% share in the company. But this time, I wouldn't let her have it.

According to my sources, the documents I needed were at school.

As I walked, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Sorry," he said, picking up the scattered papers.

I helped him since it was partly my fault for not watching where I was going. But I was shocked when I saw the documents-I needed them! I discreetly took them and smiled at him.

He walked toward a trash can and dumped a box of papers.

So, this is where I would find it. I smirked as I held the documents in my hands.

I was on my way home. As expected, Dad was leaving for his "business trip," but we all knew the truth-he was going to his mistress. Back then, we were foolish enough to believe his lies.

Before he left, I secretly placed a tracking device on his car to find out where he had hidden his mistress and his illegitimate child.

"Honey, take care," Mom said, hugging and kissing Dad on the forehead.

I wanted to vomit. How could he act like nothing was wrong? I was still furious at him for what he did in my past life. Less than a week after Mom's funeral, he brought his mistress home. Back then, I did nothing-I was timid and cowardly.

But now that I was reborn, I wanted them to pay.

Once Dad left, I rushed to my room and opened my laptop. I watched the GPS tracker carefully.

After an hour, he stopped at a private villa worth millions.

Wow. He could spend millions on his mistress and illegitimate child, yet he never took Mom to an expensive restaurant.

What a great husband and father. How shameless.

I chuckled bitterly and sighed.

This wasn't the time to feel sorry. It was time to act.

I changed my clothes and left to check out the villa.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going, sweetheart?"

"I just need to buy something. See you later!"

"Okay, take care."

I left the house and hailed a taxi. I didn't want to take my car-Dad might get suspicious.

Just then, a familiar car stopped in front of me.

I knew this car.

Anger bubbled in my chest when I saw the driver.

It was Xander.

I didn't want to see him. Not now.

"Hi, Ash. Want a ride? Where are you going?" he asked with a smile.

At this time, we weren't together yet-he was still courting me. I accepted his confession in the past because he saved me when I was about to fall down the stairs. I suspected someone pushed me back then.

"Thanks, but no thanks. Oh, and by the way, don't show up in front of me again. Don't pester me. Even if I die, I will never be with you."

I turned to leave, but he got out of his car and followed me.

"I said, stay away from me!" I snapped, annoyed.

"Hey, relax. Why are you so mad at me? I don't even know what I did wrong."

I ignored him and walked away, but he grabbed my wrist.

"I said, don't touch me!"

I shot him a glare. He looked surprised by my reaction, but he still wouldn't let go.

I was about to knee him in his private area when a man with glasses suddenly grabbed his hand and threw him to the ground.

"She said, don't touch her," a deep voice spoke behind me.

A strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close.

When I turned around, I couldn't take my eyes off his incredibly handsome face.

Wait. I knew this guy.

He was the man talking to the dean earlier at school.

"Hey! Who are you?" Xander demanded.

"Me? You don't deserve to know my name. So f*ck off," the man replied coldly, his aura terrifying.

Xander got scared and left.

Only then did I realize he was still holding my waist. I quickly pushed him away.

"Thanks, but don't meddle in my business again," I said, meeting his eyes.

Gosh, why was I blushing?

"He's your business? I don't think so... But," he stepped closer and gently tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, smirking.

What a psycho. I rolled my eyes.

"As I said, none of your business."

"Is that how you treat your future husband?"

What?! Future husband?!

Was this guy insane?

I never had a future husband before-except for that jerk Xander.

Was he trying to flirt with me?

Well... he was handsome, rich, and powerful. It wouldn't be a loss for me.

I smirked and leaned in, running my fingers across his chest.

He tensed and blushed slightly. Ha! You can't beat me-I'm good at flirting.

"Oh, my dear future husband, nice to meet you. You're so good-looking. What if I want to have a child with you?"

He gulped, adjusting his tie.

Then, he suddenly grabbed my waist and pinned me against his car.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

Before I could react, he kissed me.

Of course, I wouldn't back down-I kissed him back.

After a minute, we both pulled away, panting.

Mr. Handsome."

He just smiled.

"What if I told you this was my first kiss? Will you take responsibility?"

First kiss? As if I'd believe that.

"This is my first kiss too," I replied.

"You said you want to have a child with me, right?" he asked.

"Yeah, so what?"

I just want my lost child back from my previous life. If I have to choose a man, he's the best option.

"I want to as well, but..."

He looked at me and gently caressed my face.

"You're too young for that. I can wait until you graduate."

What a nice guy... Well, he has a point. In this life, I'm only 17.

"So, Mr. Handsome, can you do me a favor?"

"Yes. But what will you give me in return for this favor?" he asked sarcastically.

"Hey! You took my first kiss. That's enough!" I shouted.

"But you also took mine," he smirked.

I can't argue with this guy.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"I want you to marry me."

For God's sake, we've only known each other for half a day, and now he's proposing? Is he insane?

"No thanks... I'll just take a taxi."

"There are no taxis around here. You'll be waiting until nightfall."

"That's fine. I'd rather wait than marry you."

"Okay, fine. I don't want to pressure you. I'll take you home."

I hesitated for a moment before getting in. I had no choice.

"Where are you going?"

I pointed at the address I wanted to go to.

When we arrived, I saw them happily talking in the living room.

"Is that your dad?" Mr. Unknown asked.

"By the way, Handsome, what's your name?"

"You'll find out tomorrow."

Never mind. Talking to this guy is so brainless.

I used my binoculars to observe them... and to my surprise, he had binoculars too.

"Another favor, Mr. Handsome. I want to get inside their house, but I can't because they're in the living room. Can you divert their attention?"

"Anything for you, wife."

I just smiled.

He took out his phone and made a call. A few moments later, they suddenly left the house. That was fast.

I didn't waste any time and sneaked inside. Before entering, I turned off all the CCTVs. In my previous life, my uncle taught me how to hack.
