Chapter: Chapter 9Romeo, still standing in front of his uncle, Mr Alexander, whose eyes were still widened in shock as he gazed at his wife, madam Tracey, who was also in shock too as she gazed at Romeo Tristan, who still had his face gazed to the floor.“Are you sure that is what you want to do, you really want to leave this mansion?.”Mr Alexander asked as he lowered his glasses to his nose level and gazed at him.“Yes, uncle Alexander, that is what I want to do.”Romeo Tristan responded as he gazed up at him, his voice now laced with seriousness. Mr Alexander gazed at him eye to eye for a second.“Okay then, if it is what you want then I will support you.”Mr Alexander spoke as he broke the stare and took up his magazine.“What!”Madam Tracey exclaimed as he gazed curiously at Mr Alexander and then gazed back at Romeo Tristan with a scornful gaze.“Uhmm…thanks uncle but there is no need for that, I am going to get a per time Job in the city and I will sort my need with my salaries that I will be get

Chapter: Chapter 8Romeo groaned as the loud music thumped through the walls, pulling him from a deep sleep. He sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes, his dark hair messy from the night. The beat was upbeat, like something from a party, vibrating the floor beneath him. "What on earth is that?" He muttered, swinging his legs over the side of the bed. He stood, stretching his arms, and grabbed his clothes from the chair,a simple t-shirt and jeans Ryan had lent him. He pulled the shirt over his head, the fabric soft against his skin, and slipped into the jeans, tugging them up and buckling his belt. His sneakers were by the door, and he laced them up quickly, the music growing louder as he moved.He headed down the stairs, his hand sliding along the wooden banister, curious about the noise. As he reached the bottom, his eyes widened in surprise. The living room was alive with energy,Ryan and his father, Mr George, were in the middle of a dancing lesson. Ryan was trying to follow his dad's smooth steps, the m

Chapter: Chapter7Romeo sprinted into the dark alley, his sneakers pounding the cracked pavement, the flickering streetlamp casting long shadows. The girl’s scream still echoed in his ears, sharp and desperate. He skidded to a stop, his amber eyes narrowing as he spotted her,pinned against a graffiti-covered wall, her black eyes wide with fear. A burly man loomed over her, his smirk dark and menacing, flanked by two others gripping baseball bats.“Hey!” Romeo shouted, his voice booming. “Leave the damn girl alone!”The leader spun around, his face twisting in confusion. “Who the hell are you supposed to be?” He sneered, sizing Romeo up. “Oh, wait, don’t answer. Let me guess,Superman?” His two men burst into laughter, their cackles bouncing off the alley walls.Romeo’s head dipped, his gaze falling to the ground. A slow smile crept across his lips, small at first, then growing. He started laughing, a low chuckle that matched theirs, his shoulders shaking. The men stopped, their laughter fading, c

Chapter: Chapter 6Romeo sat in the front seat of Mrs Lilly’s blue Rolls-Royce, the leather cool against his rumpled clothes. His amber eyes stared out the window, his gaze heavy with sadness as Gem City’s streets blurred past,neon signs, bustling crowds, and gray buildings smudged by the morning fog. The weight of the past few days pressed on him: Erica’s betrayal, Madam Tracey’s lies, the cold jail cell. His cheek still stung from her slaps, and his heart ached with the sting of being called a thief.Mrs Lilly glanced at him, her blue eyes soft but searching. “You okay, Romeo?” She asked, her voice gentle, cutting through the hum of the car.He turned slowly, his face pale, and forced a small smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Yeah.” He said, his voice low, almost a whisper. He nodded once, then looked back out the window, his fingers tracing the edge of his seat.She frowned, her hands steady on the wheel. “How about we get something to eat? You must be hungry.”Romeo hesitated, his stomach gro

Chapter: Chapter5The hallway of Gem City College buzzed with students, their cheers still ringing from Steven Jones’s proposal to Erica Trump. Romeo Tristan stood frozen, his amber eyes wide with shock, his heart pounding as he watched his fiancée,(ex-fiancée)beam at another man. Ryan George, his best friend, tugged at his arm, his blue eyes worried. “Come on, bro, let’s move.” Ryan urged, but Romeo’s feet felt glued to the marble floor.He shook off Ryan’s grip and stepped forward, his voice breaking through the fading applause. “Erica!” He called, his tone thick with confusion and hurt. Erica turned, her blue eyes meeting his, her smile faltering for a split second before hardening. Romeo’s face was a mess of sadness, his jaw tight, his hands trembling at his sides. “What’s the meaning of this? What’s going on here, Erica?”Erica was radiant in a sleek dress, her fair skin glowing under the hallway’s lights, but her expression turned cold as she looked at him. She adjusted the sparkling ring o

Chapter: Chapter 4Romeo tossed and turned in his narrow bed, the thin mattress creaking under him. His dreams were a jumbled mess, Madam Tracey’s cruel laughter, the mysterious woman’s voice calling him“Young master,” his mother’s gentle face stained with blood. His eyes snapped open, and he bolted upright, his heart racing. “That was a hell of a dream.” He muttered, rubbing his face, his amber eyes bleary in the dim morning light filtering through the cracked blinds.The door creaked open, and Miss Valerie stepped in, her apron slightly askew, a warm smile on her tired face. “Oh, good morning, Romeo! You’re up early today. How was your night?” She asked, moving to the pile of clothes on the floor, scooping up his worn jeans and faded shirts into her laundry basket.Romeo’s voice was rough, like someone just dragged from sleep. “Night was… good, I guess.” He said, pausing as he ran a hand through his messy hair. “I think.” His tone faltered, the weight of last night’s humiliation still clinging
