As she swiftly hopped out of the car, Zavier added, “This marriage of ours is bound to be called off
sooner orter, so try not to mention it to anyone.”
Skyler nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone at the university find out about us.”
Zavier paused, then continued, “Even though we’re going to annul it, you better not start dating anyone
else before then. The Rivera family is all about keeping up appearances. I might let it slide, but the
Riveras definitely won’t let you off easy.”
Skyler replied, “Thanks for the heads-up.”
After a moment’s thought, Zavier went on, “Remember what I taught you yesterday. If I ever see
someone push you around again and you don’t stand up for yourself, don’t expect me to step in next
time.”
Skyler affirmed, “Got it.”
Zavier’s gaze drifted away as he floored the elerator, and the car shot off like an arrow, leaving
Skyler in the dust.e2
Skyler collected her thoughts and started walking when she heard someone calling her name from
behind, “Skyler?”
She turned to see her roommate Vivian, “Hey Vivian, good morning.”
Since Vivian seldom stayed in the dorm, Skyler didn’t know her as well as the other roommates, which
made interactions a bit awkward. But Vivian was the outgoing type. She enthusiastically linked her arm
with Skyler’s, “Aren’t you a dorm dweller? Howe I bump into you so early outside the campus?”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
Skyler replied, “I stayed over at a rtive’s cest night.”
“Vivian, didn’t you say you had no rtives or connections in the Capital when the school started? How
come all of a sudden you have a rtive?”
Skyler was bbergasted. At the start of the semester, she’d said she had no family in the Capital
because Zavier had essentially kicked her out and was reluctant to acknowledge her as his fiancée.
Skyler’s silence led Vivian to jump to conclusions, “Skyler, you couldn’t possibly be… you know…”
Skyler asked calmly, “Couldn’t possibly be what? Just say what you mean, no need to get worked up.”
Vivian looked around to make sure no one was listening and whispered, “You haven’t been kept by
someone, have you?”
The insinuation was offensive, not only to Skyler’s integrity but also to her dignity. Even the usually
composed Skyler couldn’t tolerate such nder, “Vivian, we are roommates. Why do you nder me
like this?”
Vivian was quick to rify, “I hope I’m wrong. I’ve heard of rich folks preying on college students, and I
just didn’t want you to get duped.”
Seeing that Vivian wasn’t being malicious, Skyler felt a twinge of guilt, “I know what I’m doing, and I’m
not that kind of person.”
Vivian nodded, “I know you’re not. You work part-time to make ends meet. I’m just worried about you.
Take care of yourself.”
Skyler thanked her, and they arrived at the university just in time for ss. The entrance was bustling
with students. To Skyler’s surprise, Zavier, who had driven off some time ago, was still at the gates. He
stood there, hands in his pockets, leaning against a tree, surrounded by his usual entourage.
When Skyler nced over, he caught her eye for a fleeting moment before returning to his
conversation, and then they all headed off
campus.
As Skyler moved towards the campus, their paths crossed. Zavier suddenly stopped and called out
loudly, “What are you, a snail?”
Skyler was taken aback. Although he didn’t name her directly, she knew he was taunting her. She
couldn’t possibly walk as fast as his car could drive, and she had been dyed by running into a
ssmate.
One of the guys with Zavier chimed in, “Zavier, that’s on me. I shouldn’t have made you wait.”
Zavier said nothing and walked on.
Skyler wanted to hurry back to the dorm to grab her notebook and then head to ss. But Vivian held
onto Skyler’s arm tightly, “Skyler, oh my gosh, that was Zavier. I feel like he stopped just to talk near
us.”
