Caesar's Rose

Chapter 59

Still on the floor, my heart picked up as I stared at CJ, leaning down and holding up my iPad.

He knows I don't have an iPad. God, what is he going to do or say now?

"Is this yours?" He asked.

Nervously, I reached for it, but he moved it away.

My heart dropped again.

"Hmm. Interesting." He said, scanning the iPad.

"Hey, Jane," I heard some girls call.

"Lucy, hey," Jane said, walking away and leaving me at CJ's mercy. Some students were passing by while some were looking at us.

"Tell me, wench," CJ got my attention. He is still scanning the iPad.

"How can a church rat like you afford to get an iPad like this?" He asked, looking at me.

I dropped my gaze.

"This is the latest model. Same as mine. It cost a fortune. How did you get it, huh?"

"Gi....give it back," I muttered.

"Answer the damn question."

I gripped my bag nervously.

"Mr C got it for you, didn't he?"

I froze.

I looked at him.

He raised his brows. "He did, didn't he?"

I shook my head slightly.

"The whole school has to hear about this," he said, looking at everyone.

Terror washed me.

"Hey, everyone!" He yelled, standing on his feet.

I didn't know, when I quickly reached for him and held his arm. "No, no, please..."

He looked at me.

"Please.... don't." I trembled, feeling my pounding heart. I felt tears coming as well.

He looked at my hand on his arm. I looked at it as well.

His eyes moved back to mine. I saw something flash through his eyes.

"Get your low-class hands off me." He snarled.

"Please don't do this to me, I beg you." I almost whispered, as I felt everyone looking at us.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I heard Jane's voice. She is standing close to us now.

I kept begging CJ but with my eyes.

"Hey, let go of my boyfriend," Jane said, trying to take my hand off CJ's arm. My heart begged to explode as I kept staring at him.

He is staring at me as well.

Jane forced my hand off his arm and stood in front of him, facing me with anger.

"What's your problem?" Jane asked as tears rolled down my eyes. CJ is about to ruin my life.

It is over for me.

My mum is surely going to kill me. I dropped my gaze, leaning down to pick up my bag on the floor but...

"Babe," I heard Jane call.

Before I could look her way, a strong hand grabbed my arm and brought me closer. My heart skipped a beat.

It was CJ.

His green eyes were piercing into mine. His grip on my arm is hurting.

"Now, do you want to tell everyone about the older man that got you this iPad?" He asked.
