Chapter 1628
As the author penned her whimsical adventure, the sudden urge for a road trip became an irresistible call to the
open road. She embarked on a solo journey, her car the trusty steed that carried them through the arid stretches
of deserts and the lush vastness of prairies…
Just picturing these wondrous scenes filled Skyler with a deep yearning, her eyes tinged with the green of envy. Oh,
how she wished to embark on such an escapade herself one day.
But could she wait for that day to come? She couldn’t wait; she had to seize it.
Skyler put the book down and grabbed her phone to scroll through a job portal.
In the Capital, there were plenty of music schools in need of instrument tutors, and they paid a decent wage. Once
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe semester started and she moved into the dorm, she’d have the time to tutor on the side.
She had to earn some cash, save it up for the day she could leave the Rivera household and start a new life with
her little sister.
After browsing for a while, Skyler applied to a couple of promising job listings. With her applications sent, a sense of
calm washed over her, and she quickly drifted off to sleep.e2
While Skyler slept upstairs, downstairs was anything but quiet. The guys were restless, each one more riled up than
the last.
One teased, “Zavier, man, you’ve got a knockout fiancée and you’re just leaving her to chill? You’re one cold dude.”
Another chimed in, “Man, we’ve all had our share of fun, and there’s Zavier, still as pure as a greenhorn. Got cold
feet or something?” Yet another egged him on, “If I were you, Zavier, I’d head upstairs right now and, you know,
take care of business with that little lady.” Zavier downed his beer in one go and, with a swing of his arm, smashed
the bottle to the floor, “Get the hell out, all of you!”
The drunken bunch sobered up instantly. “Dude, what’s your problem? Did we hit a nerve?”
Zavier’s cold gaze swept over them as he spat out, “I said get out!”
The guys, used to joking around, had never seen Zavier this fired up. Scared, they stumbled out, leaving as quickly
as they could.
Marissa brewed a strong cup of coffee and offered it to Zavier. “Here, drink up. It’ll sober you. You should get some
rest.”
Zavier didn’t take the cup. He leaned back on the couch, eyes closed. “Tomorrow, you rent a place outside for her. I
don’t want to see her around here.” “Zavier, do you even hear yourself?” Marissa was incredulous. “That girl was
handpicked by Hudson himself as your fiancée. You think you can just send her away?”
“So what if he chose her? I won’t marry someone I don’t want to. No one can force me,” Zavier declared.

Marissa knew all too well how stubborn he could be and tried to reason with him, “Even if the Blue family isn’t on
par with the Riveras, they hold significant sway in the South. If the Rivera family wants to expand there, the Blues
are the perfect bridge. Hudson’s plan to unite you and the Blue girl is his way of announcing you as the future head
of the Rivera family. A privilege the others would kill for, and you’re turning your nose up at it.” “If you don’t find
her a place, she’ll be out on the streets by tomorrow,” Zavier grunted, pushing away the offered cup and
staggering upstairs. The Rivera family intended to leverage his marriage for their business ambitions, but he
wouldn’t even give them the opportunity. Watching Zavier’s resolute departure, Marissa thought of Skyler’s fragile
silhouette from earlier that night and shook her head in resignation. The poor had their own set of struggles, just as
the wealthy grappled with their own. Every household had its own set of challenges to face.
