“What?!” Troy's jaw dropped, his expression shrouded in surprise. “Officers, do you know what you’re saying? I am Troy Williams, son of the Dean of this university, and Punch was my friend.” Investigator Dominic nodded. That connection was perhaps even more reason for his arrest. “We know that. But we received an anonymous video of your confession. We also reviewed the school CCTV cameras from that day and discovered that you once threatened to kill Punch.” They played a video from a phone. Everyone nearby, especially Troy, was left in disbelief. That day, when Troy ordered Punch to attack Peter in front of the whole class despite his injuries, Punch had refused, afraid of what else Peter could do to him after the terrible beating he had already received. The video from the phone showed Punch barging into the restroom, breathing heavily, hands placed on the counter as he tried to steady himself. Minutes later, Troy stormed into the restroom, filled with anger. He grabbed Punch b

Flashbacks from the past two years of his life came flooding back. Peter remembered when he first met Sophia. How kind she had been to him when they bumped into each other for the first time at the cafeteria. He was so cute and naive back then that they became instant friends. Peter used to be mocked by other girls because of how he looked and dressed, despite being a very handsome young man. In fact, it was that cuteness of his that drew Sophia closer to him in a romantic way. What started as friendship slowly turned deeper, and before they knew it, they became lovers. Sophia wouldn’t end the day without long hours of talking with Peter. They would chat and sometimes fall asleep on the phone. That was how deep their love for each other had been. So… would he be wrong if he accepted her back? She used to be his first love, the first woman he ever bought an ice cream for. He had deeply loved her in the past and was ready to sacrifice everything for her sake at any time. Ba

[BACK IN THE PRESENT] “Meet my new girlfriend, Paige Carter. I know you’ll be delighted to hear this news because it’s something you’ve always wanted, so I give you this one. You won.” Troy mocked, his hand wrapped around Paige's waist. “Your new girlfriend?" Peter asked, not entirely surprised. "I thought you were dating Sophia? What happened, Troy? Don’t tell me you’re down for polygamy.” Troy scoffed, taking a quick glance at the woman beside him as he said, “Funny, but no. My woman doesn’t like to share her meal.” “Which of them? Sophia or her?” Peter asked, triggering yet another round of murmurs from the gathered crowd. The students loved drama. I mean, who needed a N*****x subscription when you could always watch one every day in school? “Exactly, which one of them is actually his woman?” a voice said. “Is he a two-faced boyfriend? Does he now service two women at the same time?” “Wait until Sophia finds out. I can’t wait to see the look of humiliation on her face.” anoth

It was a brand new day. The morning sun was already up, and Peter, despite spending the night in his soft, comfortable, extra large, king size bed, didn’t dare think about making the same mistake he had made the other day—sleeping past his alarm. Today had a strange feeling attached to it. It felt strange but sweet. Peter could not explain it fully, but for some reason he was pumped, as if today was going to be one of his best days yet. Moreover, he had planned on purchasing a house for his grandmother today, after their discussion last night. He had thought hard about something pleasant to get for her birthday but couldn’t come up with anything tangible, so he decided to buy her a new house since he could now afford it. It was also the right thing to do. I mean, It felt wrong that he lived in a massive mansion that looked like a royal house, even larger than a king’s palace, while his grandmother, who had been there with him all his life, still lived in their old, shabby

Later that evening, around 8 p.m. Peter arrived at the Graham estate. He was going to spend the night at the mansion because of the amount of work he had to do, he needed a serene environment for it.The moment he stepped in, the maids welcomed him and took his belongings to the places they were meant to be.Peter ordered them to take the box to the library, as he would be using the place as his work office instead, despite the mansion having at least five empty rooms designed as home offices.When he entered, he saw Oscar already standing in his usual professional position, hands clasped neatly in front.“Welcome home, Young Master,” he greeted with a pleasant smile. “I believe you had a good day at the office. Your dinner will be served shortly. Please freshen up while the maids get everything ready for you.”Peter loved the idea, but not tonight.“Yeah, I did,” he said. “And as for dinner… that would be lovely, but I’d rather eat in the library instead. I have a ton of work to do.”

Howard stepped inside the office without even bothering to knock. When he entered, Peter sat up straight from shock. For a moment he was surprised that someone would have the audacity to barge into an office uninvited, but when he saw it was Howard, he shrugged it off. “Mr. Howard,” Peter called respectfully, still mindful of the age difference. “How may I help you?” Howard walked in as though disgusted and slammed the box hard on the table, making a loud thud as Peter watched on in silence. “You requested the company’s financial statements, right?” Howard asked, his tone filled with displeasure. “Well, be my guest. Inside this box are all the financial records, project plans, budgets, and everything else you may need.” He paused, steadying his gaze as he searched Peter’s eyes. “Go on…” Peter said softly, gesturing with a finger as he noticed the sudden pause and glare. Howard took a deep breath, finally opening his mouth to pour out all his frustrations and thoughts without the
