pter 3 Chapter 3 55 vouchers In her old life , Kayla could never understand why , despite how good she had been to Davon , he had hurt her so recklessly for Marianna . It wasn't until much later that Kayla learned the truth . Davon's father was a man with no power or influence who had married a wealthy heiress . He then had an affair with Davon's mother . After Davon was exposed as an illegitimate child , the Ortiz family cut off all financial support for him and his mother . Davon , deeply insecure about his identity as an illegitimate child , fell into extreme pain and despair . One day , while out alone , Davon encountered Marianna in the park , where she was conducting a survey . Marianna asked Davon , already aware of his background , to fill out the survey , handing him a lollipop as she smiled sweetly at him . To Davon , Marianna was like a ray of sunshine , cutting through the filth and insecurity of his life . She brought a little sweetness into his bitter world . Later , Marianna transferred to Davon's school , and the moment he saw her , Davon recognized her immediately . As they spent more time together , Davon was charmed by Marianna's warmth , sweetness , and her perseverance despite being poor . He couldn't help but fall for her . Even when Marianna falsely accused Kayla of bullying , Davon , without hesitation , believed in Marianna , whose tragic background and drive to succeed seemed flawless in his eyes . But because Davon's family relied on the Sexton family for support , he couldn't openly turn against Kayla . Instead , he pretended to be gentle with her while repeatedly speaking of Marianna's hardships , warning Kayla not to bully her . Behind Kayla's back , Davon even teamed up with Marianna to trap Kayla over and over , ultimately driving her to the point of being betrayed by everyone , horribly disfigured , and spiraling deeper into despair . As Kayla thought about this , her eyes were filled with fury . She thought , ' Marianna's lollipop made Davon so grateful , but all the money I spent on him and the expensive gifts I gave him mean nothing to him ?" For a moment , Kayla's gaze toward Davon was filled with disgust . She coldly snapped , " Piss off . " In her previous life , Davon had taken advantage of Kayla's love for him , hurting her without hesitation . Now , in Kayla's eyes , Davon was nothing but a scumbag . She would never again give him the chance to hurt her . Davon froze for a moment , his expression stiffening . After a long pause , he forced a smile and reached out to grab Kayla's arm . " Kay , what's wrong ? Who upset you ? Why are you so angry ? " Kayla didn't hesitate for a second . She shook off Davon's hand , then slapped him hard across the face , Wiping her hand on her sleeve , she looked at him with disgust and said , " Don't touch me , you lowlife . " Davon stood frozen from the blow , a red handprint already blooming on his cheek . He instinctively glanced around at the students who were watching , and the smile on his face faded . 9:07 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 3 55 vouchers His expression hardened as he scolded her in a low voice , " Kayla , are you out of your mind ? What nonsense are you saying ? " Kayla raised her chin , giving him a mocking look , her smile barely there . " Am I wrong ? You're the illegitimate child of a mistress who ruined someone else's marriage . Doesn't that make you a lowlife ? So don't come near me again . You disgust me ." At that , the students around them gasped in shock . They all stared at Davon , stunned by the revelation that the usually proud Davon was actually an illegitimate child . Whispers and murmurs started to spread through the crowd . " Davon is an illegitimate child ? No way . Is that true ? " " I thought he was the Ortiz family heir . He's always being chauffeured around , wearing designer clothes . All his stuff is top - tier luxury brands . How could he be an illegitimate child ? " " I know , right ? Davon always acts so high and mighty . Who would've thought he's a lovechild ? What's so special about an illegitimate child ? " " It's disgusting that he tries to act all dignified . He really makes me sick ." " Yeah . How can the school allow someone like him to study with us ? Aren't they worried he'll ruin the school's reputation ? " Davon's face turned grim , and he gritted his teeth . " Kayla , are you crazy ? " He thought , ' How dare she do this ? How dare she expose my background like this ? ' Kayla crossed her arms , looking at him with a smile that didn't reach her eyes , enjoying the frustration and humiliation written all over his face after the revelation of his background . Kayla then spoke , " I am crazy . That's the only reason I ever let an illegitimate child like you manipulate me before . So for my own good , do me a favor and stay the hell away from me , okay ? " The bell rang for class , and Kayla , not wanting to deal with the gloomy expression on Davon's face any longer , tried to walk past him and into the classroom . But then Davon grabbed her arm . " Wait ." Kayla immediately yanked her arm out of his grip , cold fury radiating from her . " Am I being too nice to you ? Is that why you think you can ignore what I said ? I told you not to touch me . You disgust me . " Davon reached out again , intending to grab Kayla's arm , but he hesitated halfway , pulling his hand back . His expression soured as he said , " Kayla , I don't know what's gotten into you , but you've gone way too far today . " Kayla had expected Davon to be angry , but instead , he stepped closer to her . In a lowered , condescending voice , he muttered , " Give me fifteen thousand dollars . I need it now . If you do that , I'll forgive you for today's little stunt . " Kayla was so enraged that she almost laughed . ' So , this whole time , Davon's been waiting for me here for money , she thought . 9:07 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 3 87 55 vouchers It suddenly hit her that in her old life , Davon had asked her for money around this time , too . Back then , Kayla had been accused of bullying by Marianna and blamed by everyone , including Davon , who had looked at Kayla with disappointment . At that time , Kayla had been so focused on not upsetting Davon that when he asked for fifteen thousand dollars , she didn't hesitate . She gave him thirty thousand dollars , hoping to calm him down . Later , Kayla found out that Davon had used the thirty thousand dollars to buy Marianna a gift . When Kayla confronted him about it , Davon claimed it was his way of apologizing to Marianna on her behalf , saying he did it all for Kayla's sake . Although Kayla had been furious that Davon didn't believe her and thought she had bullied Marianna , she had still been foolishly touched by Davon's gesture . Now , looking back , Kayla saw everything for the lie it was . She raised her hand , brushing Davon off . They were standing so close that just the smell of him made her feel sick to her stomach . Kayla sneered , " Mr. Ortiz , you're asking the wrong person for money . I'm not your parents . Why should I give you money ? " She thought , ' Davon really thinks I'm some kind of sucker - making me give him money to please the I hate most .' person Kayla deliberately raised her voice so that everyone around them could hear . Davon's face immediately turned red . He awkwardly looked around . He then scolded , " Kayla , why do you have to talk to me like that ? I just didn't bring any money . I was hoping to borrow some from you . I'll pay you back tomorrow . You really think I'd take your money and not return it ? " As he spoke , Davon stepped closer to Kayla , his voice dropping again , now laced with anger . " Kayla , do you really want to embarrass me like this ? Don't push it . If I get upset , don't expect me to let you off so easily . " Kayla thought , ' Let me off ? Now that I see the real Davon after traveling back in time , would I ever try to win him over again ? ' B
