Chapter 47: Unraveled Schemes
Linda sat back on her seat listening to everything everyone was saying around her.
“Wow! Who knew Golden is this beautiful? She looks like goddess dressed in that outfit ” someone said.
“I just looked up that dress she is wearing and it's from Givenchy's latest collection and the price is about $70,000.”
That earned a whistle from someone. “Talk about money baby.”
Another continued. “The dress is cheap compared to her necklace and earrings.
I wasn't too sure before but I just confirmed it.
That necklace set was the closing pieces at an exclusive auction last month.” Lily a girl who belonged to a jewelry family said.
“Who would have thought that it ended up with Golden.” She smiled and shook her head.
Clara moved closer to Lily and slightly nodged her. “ Is the necklace that expensive?”
“That's an 18-carate diamond tear-drop set. The opening price was three million dollars.” She stopped and took in the shocking gaze of everyone.
“how much was the closing price?” someone asked a little scared of what he might hear.
Lily paused for a dramatic effect. Then she said in hushed tone, “100 million dollars”
Someone suddenly fell out of his chair.
“What?
“100 what?”
“Men! There is rich, and there is BILLIONAIRE RICH!”
“Fabulous isn't unevenly matched either.” Lily continued.
“How do you mean?” someone asked.
“Forget about the three-piece Valentino Suit he is wearing which is just about $250,000 dollars” Lily said like it was nothing.
“You see that wristwatch he's wearing?” she said for emphasis.
“That is a one of a kind diamond studded Rolex. There are only 10 in the world.
“And the price?” someone asked
“Oh honey your little head can't comprehend it.” she said with a smile. “Let's just say the price is enough to buy a small island.
“They truly are the Billionaire Power Couple.”
“Guys, did you notice that Fabulous looks different?” Another girl shrilled.
“Yeah. He looks nothing like his usual self.” some girl responded with a dreamy look as she continued.
“You can tell that he is well built from the way the suit is hugging him.
And his haircut?” she continued. “Talk about precision and style.
The razor cut sharp edges perfectly carved, and the curls gathered at the top.
A few curls dropping to the corner of his face gives him the ultimate billionaire bad boy look.” She said giving a very detailed description.
“He isn't wearing his glasses, I'm guessing he went with contact lenses.
He looks totally different from his everyday look. I wish he could look like this everyday” She said dreamingly.
“Oh please wake up from your dreams Shayna. I bet you wished you were Golden right now?” A guy nudged the dreamy Shayna.
They had Allan steal almost all the hearts of the girls in the class.
And now Fabulous the class Nerd turns out to be a billionaire and captured the hearts of everyone else in the class.
The guys around exchanged a knowing look. “The guys we have a problem look”
Linda couldn't take it anymore. The more she listened, the more annoyed she got.
She was supposed to have embarrassed Golden and she should have ran out of the class in tears.
But things didn't go as she planned. Instead it seemed like she was only punching cotton and that bi Alex had even shoulder-bumped her on purpose.
Why wasn't anything working out in her favor? She had paid heavily to get that picture photoshopped to look real.
She had looked forward to this moment only to have it ruined.
She angrily stood up and stormed out of the class, tired of hearing everyone praise Golden and Fab.
Linda went to the common room and tiredly sank into the plush cushion.
She calmed down and tried to analyze everything that happened and what really went wrong.
She unlocked her phone and carefully looked at the pictures again—this time she looked at the real pictures not the photoshopped one.
She finally saw what others saw.
Although Golden was still big, she looked really stunning, like the billionaire heiress that she was.
Her dress fit perfectly and beside Fab, they did indeed look like a power couple.
She also noticed something different about Fabulous. He wasn't the messy curls Nerd everyone knew him to be.
He looked dapper in his three piece Valentino Suit and clean haircut. He wasn't also wearing his glasses and he looked like a true billionaire.
OCU had many silent billionaires, and Linda was begining to suspect Fabulous might be one.
She felt her heart stir with jealousy as she remembered her classmates call them “the billionaire couple that deserved a spot on the cover of Vouge Magazine”
They did look like they belonged on the cover of a magazine and that stung.
Then again, Linda couldn't wrap her head around something.
She had obviously photoshopped their picture to be misleading.
She knew it, they knew it. Why weren't they bothered?
She expected Golden to at least try to explain it but she didn't seem the least bit interested.
She had even given her a sarcastic smile like she was some idiot.
Then there was Fab with the fake laugh and the “idiot” comment.
Everything just kept spiralling out of control after then. It felt like Linda had just exposed a secret that wasn't even a secret after all.
One thing that was consoling though, was Allan's reaction.
It was better than she expected.
Golden might pretend not to feel anything to put up a front, but that would also be her undoing when she tries to explain it later in secret.
Then again, something wasn't adding up.
What if Golden and Fabulous were actually an item? Would it mean everything she has done was for nothing?
Had she just helped them go official for free? Linda seemed a little confused.
She had sensed the tension between Golden and Allan since she got back from Africa.
She had seen the look in Golden's eyes whenever Allan ignored her when she thought no one was looking.
She had planned all these to hurt Golden and even widen the already existing gap. But why did she feel she had just done Golden a favor instead?
Linda stumped her feet angrily, not being able to make sense of all that was going on.
Suddenly a thought flashed in her mind like a shooting star.
What if Golden and Fabulous were truly together? Wouldn't that mean she could openly chase Allan then?
Linda smiled at the thought. It was what she has wanted since the day she set her eyes on him.
Maybe this could be the perfect opportunity to go for her man.
And with Golden and Fab together, she could use this opportunity to console him and make him fall in love with her.
With that thought in mind, Linda couldn't help blushing and she stood up and made her way out of the common room.
She had come in angry, she was leaving with a very satisfied smile on her face...
