Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 748 - Seven Hundred And Forty-eight: Moving In

The third point of view:

Eve was in a bad mood and it was all because of that rascal called Allen. God, what she would do to him if she could get her hands on him? But then, what could she do anyway? The Spencers were more powerful than she could ever be.

"Tell me you only share part of my sadness and that you\'re not really sad?" She said to her brother who hasn\'t said a word to her since they arrived home and none of them bothered to come down.

"Well, guess?" His voice was low and dreary.

"Ailee again?"

"Yep," He said.

"You didn\'t speak to her today?"

"I actually did?"

Eve turned to him, surprised," She wasn\'t in school today," She pointed out, "How then?"

"Sent me a text, said I was a great guy and all but it was better if we remained friends - strictly platonic friends. I ruined this, didn\'t I?" He asked, looking his sister in the eye as if waiting for a confirmation from her.

"No, you didn\'t. Everyone\'s bound to make mistakes and I don\'t think this is the reason Ailee wants the both of you to remain just friends. I spoke to her today as well and she sounded stressed, as if she was going through a lot. Perhaps, all she needs is space and time," Eve gave him a pep talk.

"The same way you need space from Allen? " Theodore hinted, catching on to her secret.

"What?" Eve went red in the face, "No way! Allen and I are nothing. The guy\'s an asshole and you are supposed to encourage me to stay away from trouble like him!" It took everything not to hide her face. She was so embarrassed right now.

"Allen\'s trouble but he\'s honest. You don\'t see honest guys like him nowadays and so you know what you\'re getting yourself into," He warned her.

"Or perhaps, Spencer twins are not a good fit for us Donovan twins after all," She teased her brother.

"Well, that\'s left for fate to decide since it\'s spinning its wheels for you right now," Theodore told her while glancing out through the window.

"What?" Eve didn\'t understand what he meant by that until she glanced out through the window as well and her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Oh, you gotta be kidding her because across the street was Allen moving into a new house not far from theirs. To be precise, the house was directly in front of theirs except for the fact it was separated by the neat concrete road.

"This is no longer funny!" Eve growled.

"Eve?" Her brother called to her but she had already climbed out of the car and was striding towards Allen in full rage.

Niklaus was not interested in making things easy for him, Allen thought so when he was introduced to the place where he would be spending his two months of expulsion - that is putting it mildly. It was a fancy duplex and as beautiful as it looked, its maintenance would eat at his pocket.

The only thing Allen had on him was the cash in his wallet. His cards were probably declined by now - Niklaus never goes back on his words - and were petty much useless by now. The money left would be to handle the electricity, water, and other bills that he was sure his father would cut off their subscription after today. At this rate, he would have to go find a part-time to support himself if he wanted to survive for two months without running back to daddy with his tails in between his legs.

"Well, what is this?" Allen asked when he saw the mover heading back to the driver\'s seat.

"Well, what is what?" He asked back.

"You\'re not moving my things inside the house?" Allen was dumbfounded.

"Well, your father\'s instructions were to bring your things at the doorstep, not the foyer, so I believe I have no other business being here," the man said, grinning at him.

Allen flexed his jaw. Real smooth, Niklaus. Real smooth. He could tell the man did this on purpose to infuriate him.

"Fine, be on your way then. Go suck up to my daddy," He said mockingly to the man whose expression changed immediately and that gave Allen a huge satisfaction.

"I bet you wouldn\'t even last outside two days," The mover sneered and then climbed into the car where he drove off, leaving a puff of smoke in his wake.

Now all alone, Allen looked over his property and sighed loudly. Perhaps, he had been quite childish as well because he intentionally took everything in his room back home. He did it out of spite so everyone could miss him - especially his mother who stood still as his father gave judgment on him - whenever they saw his empty room.

His, absence would make Reina resent Neon and it was long due the boy left already. Why does Allen dislike Neon greatly? Well for starters, his mother, Jennifer, was crazy, and secondly, tried to kill his mother, Reina. Twice now. What if craziness runs in the family and he backstabs them the same way his mother did?

Yeah, it was just a supposition but unlike her naive twin and sister, Ailee, Allen was proactive and tend to stop the problem before it even arises. No matter how much they wanted in, Neon will never and would never be a Spencer. It\'s just not in his tainted blood.

However, back to the present, how was he going to move all this into his house. Before he would be done arranging his things, it would be nighttime. Well then, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.

So Allen picked the two of the cardboard box he used to pack his things and took them in. And it was while he was making his fifth round, that a loud shriek sounded in his ears.

"You?!"

He looked up to see that it was nothing but that troublemaker.. The girl who made him act out of character in the hallway days ago.
