His Only

Chapter 9

"Klaire!" Amy shouted seeing her friend at the entrance of the hall. Out of excitement, Amy ran to her best friend and practically jumped on her, pulling her tightly. 

 "Where on earth have you been?" Amy asked, happy tears evident in her eyes,

"I just... Sorta needed some time off" Klaire replies, Amy only nods, both of them walking to their next class, "did you get me my notes?" Klaire asked remembering her missed out work,

"You know I got your back" Amy says handing her a 30-page folder, Klaire's eyes widen when she takes it. Herself frozen, picturing the amount of work she has to do before tomorrow's exam.

"That's only half, the other half I emailed you. I hope you got"

"I was gone for 5 fricking days" she screams, squeezing her notes into her bag,

"That's Professor Revano for you" Amy jokes with the teacher walking into the lecture room shortly after.

Klaire had too much work to catch up with, she had called Emily and told her she'd be staying at Amy's to complete it, but Emily had other words, Klaire purposely told Emily knowing the answer would be a 'No' from Ricardo, even though he had promised her, her freedom.

"Thank you for this. I promise I'll be back by 6" Klaire kept the phone sighing in relief,

"Girl since when did you have to report to a nanny" Amy asked slurping the milkshake she had got from the dinner next door.

"Don't ask" Klaire said stuffing herself into her books once more.

Amy had always been one of the typical gossip girls in their college, and every day Klaire would get caught in it, it had become a routine that Klaire almost missed, during her time with Ricardo.

"Hey so I got some pointers" Amy distracted Klaire from her study session. By 'pointer' she meant gossip and Klaire knew where this was going, she purposely closed her book leaving a bookmark and took her shake leaning back on her chair ready to hear the latest news around campus.

"So I heard Cara telling Maddie in the bathroom that Ricardo Delvour has a girlfriend, and she is rumoured to be on our Campus! How exciting is that! A girl from our college dating the world's richest abstract man alive!... And that isn't the best part. Maddie was so pissed she threw all her makeup and books onto the ground and smashed it"

"No way!" Klaire acts out dramatically. She was in no mood to tell Amy who that person exactly was. It was a reason behind why she wanted herself to be masked when they were seen in public places.

"Yes way! If I ever get to meet this girl I swear I might bow down to her, Maddie had this whole plan set up to get Mr. Delvour's attention so she could be the future Mrs. Delvour. Fucking slut!" Amy applauds joyfully.

Maddie was the 'college rich popular girl', true to her title,  she was much more curvier and beautiful than Klaire, or that's what she _Klaire_ thought whenever she saw Maddie. "How would she even do that? Everyone knows that Mr. Delvour is a hard man to meet, he practically carries his army wherever he goes" Klaire questioned, which made her think, how did she meet him?

Of course. All because she was so stupid to volunteer for a friend.

"Didn't you hear?..." Amy examines Klaire's reaction and remembers, "shit! I forgot you've not been here for a while" She shakes her head, and going into further detail she says, "he's like our University money bank, which is also why he's going to be a part of this year's graduation speech and handout"

Klaire had a revelation upon her, her eyes widened when everything finally made sense to her. He had access to the school's database and that was the only way he knew every inch of her, including where she lived and automatically one would know where she shops as well given there was only one grocery market in her part of town. It was a life saver she had decided to continue her fake identity in Campus or he'd have traced her whereabouts to Mexico.
