Chapter 190: Lily

A few days have passed since Pippa and I split up

I was resting my head in my mom's lap while she was gently running her fingers through my hair, and putting my feet on Paige’s lap. Loki was resting on my chest.

"This is life," I mur...

Chapter 189: Break up

A few days have passed since I revealed the Marshmello deal to Cara and Pippa. 

Pippa kept glancing at me from time to time. When class ended, she came over.

"Jake, can we talk?"

I nodded, and we walked to a quiet corner of ...

Chapter 188: Brit's Reveal

"Jake!" Britney grumbled, giving me a glare, though a playful smile lingered on her face.

"Hey, I said Britney, comma, Bitchy. I didn't call you bitchy," I corrected, feeling wronged

Cara and Pippa still looked frozen, staring between ...

Chapter 187: Carly's Place

As I pulled up in front of Carly's house, I could already hear faint music coming from inside. The lights in the living room were on, and the front door was slightly ajar—typical Carly move. I knocked twice before stepping in.

"Hello? Carl...

Chapter 186: Study Group II

We spent the next half hour hunched over the biology books—me, Miley, and Lilly (Missy was reading some gossip magazine). Diagrams of bones, joints, and the skeletal system covered every page, but it all felt like noise after a while.

Mile...

Chapter 185: Study Group

Another day after the whole husband fiasco, Missy was calling,

"Hey Jake."

"Hello Missy, what’s up?" I answered.

"I need a favor. Well, actually, Miley does. She needs help with her biology test," she explained.

"Hmm..." ...

Chapter 184: Monday Morning in Malibu

The day after the party celebrating Paige on the yacht, I was sitting in my room in Malibu, talking with Pepper.

"So we spent hundreds of millions on scripts?" I asked.

"Yes, we now own the rights to hundreds of scripts," she confirmed...

Chapter 183: Yacht II

Before hanging up, she had asked, "What are you even doing right now?"

"I'm on a yacht with some friends," I answered.

"Of course you are... wait, what??"

"I bought a yacht at the end of the year. I'm using it again now," I added...

Chapter 182: Yacht

It is mid-January, and we are all gathered on the yacht to celebrate Paige. I had bought some balloons and had her picture printed on them. On the regular balloon, though, the photo got distorted and made her look like she had a big head. When Pai...

Chapter 181: 'Naming rights'

After a few days, classes resumed. I had contacted Pepper about Fergie, discussing the idea of bringing her into the group Black Eyed Peas (which still only had three members at the time) and bringing them into JDS.

For now, Black Eyed Peas ...

Chapter 180: 2002 II

"Hey, I'm living frugally, these are just normal expenses for someone of my caliber. But if you're worried, we can sell that new 50" plasma TV we put in your room," I offered.

"Noo waaay!" Paige exclaimed, throwing her arms around me.

...

Chapter 179: 2002

The olive bounced off my forehead and landed in my glass of water. I blinked. "I’m under attack," I announced dramatically, rubbing the spot.

Pepper didn’t even look up from her plate.

Alan chuckled while Paige, seated beside me, l...

Chapter 178: New Year’s Eve

The year was ending.

Paige wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek a few times.

"What's all this about?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. "What dumb thing did you do this time? Or what do you want?"

"Nothing, you dumbo,"...

Chapter 177: JD Company 2001 Report

Five people are now gathered for the year-end closing of JD Company: Pepper, Anthony, Harvey, Grandma, and me.

"Now we’re closing the accounts of our company, JD Company and its subsidiaries," said Pepper.

"First, the movies. We rele...

Chapter 176: iChristmas II

"Sam. You're out of juvy," Carly said, smiling as she pulled Sam into a tight hug.

"Juvy? What are you talking about?" Sam asked with a grin, clearly confused by the whole situation.

Carly turned around and faced Freddie.

"So, wh...

Chapter 175: iChristmas

I was entering Carly’s apartment with her when Spencer greeted us at the door. He immediately covered Carly’s eyes.

"Just keep walking," Spencer urged, guiding her.

"Just show me the tree," Carly replied.

"Oh, you wanna see t...

Chapter 174: Party III

The cheers were still echoing when I raised the microphone again, grinning at the crowd.

"Alright guys, let’s keep the music going!"

A fresh beat dropped—this time it was Billionaire (Travie McCoy feat Bruno Mars)

I started s...

Chapter 173: Party II

Missy mentioned she needed to go to the bathroom, so I asked Paige to take her to one inside the house, which was empty (even with the expansion and the huge bathrooms we had built, the women's restroom was still always crowded).

Pippa spott...

Chapter 172: Party

A few days have passed, and it is already December 21st.

"Is everybody ready for tomorrow?" I asked.

A loud cheer erupted from the whole class.

"Don’t forget, it’s a costume party! Like Halloween. There’ll be prizes for the...

Chapter 171: Singing

"Okay, how about singing, Britney?" I said, getting up and heading toward the corner to grab two microphones. I also took the instrumental recording.

Britney nodded with a soft smile. She’s not a singer just for the fame and money—s...

Chapter 170: Britney

Me and four other people are in my room.

I kicked Cher and Regina. "Okay, stop being starstruck. How many times have you seen her already?"

"But still, it’s Britney..." they both responded, eyes fixed on Britney, who lounged comforta...

Chapter 169: iCarly

Cara looked at me, eyes narrowing with curiosity. "Wait… are you going to sing at Tomorrowland?"

"Not really, they're going to use a recording," I responded.

"Too bad," Lauren remarked, and Pippa also seemed a little down.

"But...

Chapter 168: Next day II

Monday morning I was taking my usual nap — the weekend had been wild. A wedding and two days of nonstop partying. Cher’s birthday was similar to Regina’s, just a bit less formal. But people still showed up in dresses and suits. Britney perfo...

Chapter 167: Another Lunch II

Claire opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She narrowed her eyes slightly, then blinked, clearly trying to find a retort—but failing. I did look fine. Too fine for someone who has drunk a lot.

Freshly showered, sharp-e...

Chapter 166: Another Lunch

The moment the girls reached me again, the music had already shifted into a slower beat—one of those romantic Latin tracks that practically begged for body contact. They didn’t hesitate. One of them took my hand, the other slid her arm around ...

Chapter 165: Dance Floor Heat

The music shifted as I nodded to the band. “Despacito now,” I said into the mic with a grin. One of the band musician gave me a thumbs up from the side.

The familiar rhythm kicked in (familiar for me). I placed my jacket neatly ...

Chapter 164: Wedding III

I glanced to the other side of the room and spotted Phil—he was far away from the main table, completely surrounded by several of Gloria’s uncles. They were all laughing loudly, slapping him on the back like he was one of their own.

I ra...

Chapter 163: Wedding II

I adjusted the cuff of my social shirt as the sleek black car pulled up to the entrance of the wedding venue. The December night air was cool but not cold, the kind of crispness that hinted at the holiday season.

We stepped out—me, Paige, ...

Chapter 162: Wedding

The final bell rang, signaling the end of another school week. I was sleeping peacefully, completely out cold at my desk, arms folded like a makeshift pillow. The classroom noise faded into the background—none of it reached me.

"Jake... Ja...

Chapter 161: Lunch (with Friends)

Everyone was in high spirits as Monica finally served lunch. The smell of Beef Wellington and truffle risotto filled the apartment like a warm hug.

"Alright, dig in, everyone! And don’t be shy—there’s plenty," Monica declared as she se...
