The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Be My Girl, Get Paid
So anyone who got in Mia’s way? They became target practice.
Finished
If Laurie was the definition of pure and gentle, Mia was the other end of the spectrum-ruthless, intense, and totally unpredictable.
She stormed out of the cafeteria. As she passed three girls from her dorm, they immediately gave her tight, awkward smiles-desperate to stay on her good side.
Mia didn’t even look at them.
She just walked straight past and pushed through the doors.
The three girls let out a breath they’d been holding and looked at each other, panic still lingering in their
eyes.
They knew the truth about Mia better than anyone.
She used to keep up the sweet act when she was outside the dorm.
Now? She didn’t even bother.
Those girls who picked a fight with her? Yeah-should’ve known better. They walked right into that one.
Mia pushed open the door to the principal’s office without knocking.
She walked in casually and dropped herself onto the couch like she owned the place.
“I just laid out three girls in the cafeteria. They’ll probably come crying to you about it. I assume you know how to handle it?” she said, voice cool and detached.
The principal, Ruben immediately felt a migraine coming on.
If Mia didn’t have dirt on him, she’d have been expelled a long time ago.
But she did-and now he had to smile and pretend everything was fine.
“Of course, Mia. Consider it handled.”
Mia shot him a cold smirk. “Good. Then the cleanup’s on you.”
Ruben kept grinning like an idiot until Mia finally walked out the door. The second she was gone, his face dropped.
If I’d known she’d turn into this kind of nightmare, I never would’ve taken Elliot’s money to begin with.
Back then, the plan was to expel Mia for some vague behavioral issues. But Elliot flipped the script and said never mind. And from that moment on, Mia clung to Ruben like a curse.
Somehow, she’d dug up everything-every shady little detail about how he’d been secretly supporting a female student in exchange for… favors.

He was trapped, and he knew it.
Finished
Not even half an hour after Mia left, three girls barged into his office to report her for starting a fight in the cafeteria.
Ruben took one look at their messy, tear-streaked faces and already in a foul mood-snapped.
He slammed the desk with both hands and ripped into them without holding back. His voice echoed, spit flying, the kind of yelling that felt like it could knock someone over.
The girls stood frozen, completely blindsided. Their eyes filled with tears as they stared at him, shocked.
What just happened?We were the ones who got attacked. So why were we the ones getting chewed out?
Mia was in a terrible mood. Everyone at school was rubbing her the wrong way.
She decided to ditch campus for a bit and clear her head.
Right then, a loud motorcycle pulled up and stopped directly in front of her.
The rider was decked out in black riding gear, long legs straddling the bike like he walked out of an action movie.
He pulled off his helmet, ran a hand through his messy hair, and flashed a cocky smile.
“Mia,” he called, casually, like it was no big deal.
Mia saw who it was and gave him a cool, uninterested look. “What do you want?”
Originally, Kenny was going to do what his dad asked-bring Mia over to the house and show her off.
But halfway there, he got a call from one of his buddies inviting him to a motorcycle race. What sealed the deal was the fact that Taylor would be there.
Taylor Giles-his ex. The one who had dumped him not long ago.
He hadn’t even been that into her, but getting dumped? That stung. Especially for someone like Kenny, who prided himself on always being the one in control. The whole thing bruised his ego more than he liked to admit.
So he came up with a new plan. Bring Mia to the race. Maybe shake Taylor up a bit. Get a little satisfaction back.
He leaned in and started telling Mia about the race.
Mia couldn’t have cared less about some dumb motorcycle race.
“Not interested,” she said, already turning to walk away.
Kenny scrambled. “Wait-Mia, what would it take to get you to come with me?”

She couldn’t keep that 140,000 dollars from Josh. That ship had sailed. Now she needed to find other ways to make up for it.
And Kenny? He had cash to spare,
The second she mentioned money, he perked up. “Alright then, how much do you want?”
She raised an eyebrow, “How much are you offering?”
He smirked. “Depends on your performance. If you agree to play my girlfriend for the day, how does 14,000 dollars sound?”
Fourteen thousand. For one day?
That was an easy yes.
Mia didn’t even blink and replied, “Deal.”
