57 Force Confession Part 2

I had this urge to swoop in and play the hero, thinking it might earn me some brownie points. But simultaneously, a wave of fear washed over me, worrying that my disguise might be exposed.

As I gazed at her troubled expression, I couldn't help but marvel at her beauty even in distress. She was like the innocent version of my Aunt Alyssa, only a much purer .

Then, she began to speak, and the entire crowd, myself included, hung on her every word. Would she succumb to the overwhelming pressure? Would she say "Yes" and see her value plummet like a prime estate suddenly found to be on a fault line?

"I…" She stuttered

I wanted to know her answer as much as everyone else did. Would it be a yes?

"I'm already in love with someone else," she declared with conviction.

"Now way!" A collective gasp swept through the crowd, and shock registered on everyone's faces. Her revelation had caught them all off guard.

"Is this for real? Someone already has the goddess's heart?"

"OMG, this is breaking news!"

"Usually, she just rejects guys, but this time, she actually said she's already taken!"

"Taken? Are you deaf? She said she's in love, not taken!" A guy who seemed to be her fan berated another person.

Amidst the chatter, my heart inexplicably began to beat faster, like it was trying to keep up with the sensational turn of events.

""Don't tell me that I've actually fallen for her?" I muttered to myself, clutching my chest in a futile attempt to calm my racing heart.

My blood surged, and my face reddened.

"Who is this guy? Tell me his name!" The basketball captain's demeanor went from calm to infuriated in the blink of an eye.

What a jerk! This must be his true personality all along. I couldn't help but scoff inwardly, suspecting that he had only confessed to her because she was beautiful, smart, sexy, kind, beautiful, smart, sexy... Okay, I was repeating myself now.

"I don't have to tell you that," she responded defiantly.

"You have to tell me, or I'll just assume you're lying!" He berated her.

'Hey, hey, you're this close from jumping in front of a train. Don't shout at my property,' I thought to myself.

"I've already given you my answer. Please, just leave me alone," she attempted to assert herself, turning away as if to end the conversation once and for all.

"You can't just walk away like this!" The tall guy grabbed her shoulder.

"Stop, you're hurting me!" She cried out.

This is the perfect time to intervene.

"Stop it now! Do you want me to put you in detention for harassing your classmate?" I berated him with anger, slowly making my way toward the center. All the students' attention now focused on me, and they cleared a path.

He seemed even more intimidating up close, and his voice carried a menacing tone as he confronted 11:12

me.

He seemed even more intimidating up close, and his voice carried a menacing tone as he confronted me.

"Who the hell are you to intervene?" He asked, his teeth clenched in anger.

"Remove your hands from her if you don't want to face serious consequences. I'm a teacher here. Do you want me to expel you?" I asserted, using the authority vested in me by the school.

Now, all I needed to do was wait for him to back down and plead for mercy, allowing me to play the hero.

"Hahahaha! Expel me?" The guy chuckled as if he'd heard a joke.

"Stop laughing. I'm going to expel you for harassment!" I berated.

"You're a new teacher, so I'll forgive you if you turn a blind eye. My uncle owns this school!" he declared arrogantly.

"Wait... What? Your uncle owns this school?" I feigned astonishment, my eyebrows shooting up in mock surprise. Inside, I was thinking, 'Do you think I care if your uncle owns a school, a castle, or the moon? Not a chance!'

"Hey, I told you to let her go!" I tried to command with authority,

[Suggestion : Failed ]

I was genuinely shocked to see that my attempt at asserting control had failed miserably. It seemed this guy simply didn't take my threats seriously at all.

"You're really starting to get on my nerves. Do you want to get in trouble?" he challenged.

I cursed silently. Should I resort to physical force? I was fairly confident I could beat the shit out of him, but the issue was the number of witnesses. I couldn't just start throwing punches at a student.

Before I could utter another word, Alice's voice cut through the tension.

"I told you to let go of me!" Alice's words shifted abruptly as she twisted her shoulder to break free. In one fluid motion, she executed a high kick, aiming it directly at the tall man's chin.

*BAM!

Her shoe made clean contact, and the guy lost his balance immediately.

*THUD

"I've been holding back because of your status, but you're just trash!" Alice berated the guy.

I couldn't help but be amazed. I had no idea she could fight this well. That attack was flawless. Had she perhaps learned Taekwondo?

"And you..." She turned to face me.

Oh no. Had my disguise finally been exposed?

"If you don't have the ability, then please refrain from helping," she said calmly, before turning away from the commotion.

"I don't have the ability?" I muttered to myself in disbelief. What had just happened? I couldn't help but clench my fists in frustration. Why did I feel a pang of pain in my heart when she looked at me like that?

All the preparation, hard work, and planning I had put into my scheme had gone down the drain because of this... because of this piece of shit.

SNAP!

A ringing sound echoed in my head, as if something inside me had snapped. Fury coursed through my veins, and a dozens of scenarios played out in my mind on how to salvage this situation. ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ

I knelt down on the ground, pretending to offer assistance to the guy who had ruined all my plans.

"You got kicked by the woman you love. If I were you, I'd stand up and take my revenge on her. She just humiliated you in front of the whole school, and you'll be a laughingstock from now on," I whispered into his ear, my voice dripping with cold malice.
