All Chapters of Rules We Break: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Kehlani I woke up happy tonight. Today's going to go well. Day two out of three weeks and I think I might be getting what I want on time. I said a few prayers and used the bathroom. When I was done, I ate cereal and dressed up. No classes today. What a big damn relief. Just meeting with Mason. I packed my hair into a tight ponytail, then wore a tank top and shorts, with a jacket. Now it's a few minutes past ten. Let's go. I drove for about twenty minutes before my navigation finally announced I'd arrived. I pulled up in the visitor parking lot. My mouth fell open when I looked up. “Wow.” The building is big. Towered over everything around it. Modern architecture with sleek steel and glass. In fact, the entire building looked like what a billionaire would own. This is Mason Reed's office? Or he just rented a studio space here? Well, whatever it is, I know he'd get me a collaborator in less than a second. Jeez. The large digital screen covered part of the exterior, displaying adverti

Kehlani “What? Travelling? How?” I tilt my head to one side and pursed my lips. My eyebrows squished together as I tried to understand what he meant. “Kehlani.” He sighed. “You can try to reach out for the rest yourself. I'm leaving for a job in less than an hour now. I believe at least out of that list, you'd find someone good.” He patted my shoulders. “I believe in you.”“Oh, shit.” I groaned and we left Theo Dave's studio back to Mason's. He really was going on a work trip already packing up and another guy, his assistance had been trailing with him. He checked his watch again. “So where are you going?”“Philadelphia.” “Oh, it's a couple of hours away.” I watched him pack away and grabbed his jacket from the chair. “Two weeks without you and I don't think I would have easy connections or a safety net.” I complained. “Well, I'm pretty sure a lot of your course mates are busy searching for someone. At least you have a hint.” He points at the paper on my hands. I managed a smi

Kehlani I stared at myself one more time adjusting my clothes. Thirty minutes left for school. I didn't give up. I went to the next name sooner. Liam Owen. I drove to school anyway. The lecture halls slowly filled up as students walked in. I sat at the back of the class so the professor teaching wouldn't notice me. I was continuing with my collaboration hunt. The next contact, Liam Owen. A travel content creator with a growing YouTube page. He's Chinese and looks so calm. I sent a message telling him about everything. It's almost ten minutes, I was losing hope. What if his girlfriend responds just like Cassius. Oh gosh. To my surprise, three dots appeared. My eyes widened when I saw a response. Hi, Kehlani,Thanks for reaching out, unfortunately, I've already agreed to work with another student from your program. Good luck though. I stared at the screen and sighed. Then I looked around the room. Wow, so one person here got him before me. Interesting. I crossed his name. Seventee

Kehlani I was so silent that I could hear the faintest sound in the room. Mason just froze, eyes on me. I couldn't utter a word. I didn't blink. Just stared and stared back at him.“What?!” I screamed that other people would even hear outside of the glass walls but I didn't care. “What? What do you mean by fake-date him?” I exclaimed in a strained voice. “Lower your voice.” He winced. I stood to my feet and whispered. “What do you mean by fake-date? I mean, what does he mean by that? How do you expect me to lower my voice!” My whisper transited into panic mode. He shrugged. “A fake relationship?” I asked again. “Yes.”“Fake girlfriend?”“Yes.”“Fake romance too?”“Y—I don't know. Are you willing to agree?”I huffed. “This is ridiculous.”“I know.” “This is insanely unprofessional.”“I know.” I sat down back, still stunned. “Aren't you also surprised, mason?”“Yes.” He replied flatly. “I've done this shit before.” I frowned. “High school.” The memories flooded. When Trevor and

Kehlani My eyes fluttered open. It took me seconds to realize that I actually fainted. I fainted after seeing Trevor's face. No way. It's not him. I wish I could see the monster I saw in my dream instead of this face. I need to escape because none of this looks real. I pushed myself upright and my hands landed on my chest. It's still the same fantastic room. “Easy.”I snapped my head towards the voice. Trevor sat across the room in a leather chair, resting his elbows on his knees, staring intensely at me like he owned me. Those eyes, they still haven't changed. I hated how he was watching me. “Would you like to drink water? Are you good?” He asked and I scoffed. After we forgot about ourselves for three years. How come I'm sitting with him? Mason had given me a wrong address or something. “Really? Water?” I rolled my eyes. So, is this the nameless hockey player Mason was talking about? Why did he tell me his name? I silently cursed Mason. Why is everything so fucking confusing? Wh
