“You’re not even asking the right question,” Savannah said to Dora. “How on earth will you gift someone just a single hair pin? Does it make sense? See how dirty and nasty the hair pin looks. It doesn’t look neat or even pleasing to the eye.” Savannah added, leaning closer to look at the hair pin with pure disgust. “Nobody gifts this anymore and if you’re even going to, shouldn’t it be more than one and packaged aesthetically? What the hell is this design and why does it look like it has been worn by someone already? This is so embarrassing and I’m so disgusted.”“Wait, I even know this hair pin,” Dora said as she collected it from Jett and raised it up. “It looks like something I’ve seen at the mini mart. It’s very cheap and not even up to a dollar. Nolan, tell me the truth. How much did you get this hair pin?” she asked, facing him directly.Nolan took a deep breath, not even knowing what to say. If he disagreed with Dora, it would only lead to more arguments and more insults that h

Damien, you’re next to gift Ginny,” Jett said, making everyone’s attention go back to what they were doing.“Hurry up and show us. I’m so excited,” Dora said, laughing sheepishly.“You’re not even the birthday girl and you’re excited,” Damien said with a chuckle while Dora gave him a playful glare.“Just let us know already,” she added.Damien brought out a small bag and handed it to Ginny with a smile. Ginny wasted no time opening it, and she let out a loud gasp as she stared at the box. Inside was a gold necklace with love pendants, and a matching pair of love earrings and a bracelet with a cute charm that had her name on it.“Oh my god. This is real gold!” Ginny screamed as she showed the box to Dora and Savannah. “Oh my god. This is the best birthday ever!” she screamed louder. “Thank you! Oh my god, thank you so much, Damien. I can’t even imagine how much this cost. Thank you.”“It wasn’t that costly. Just some thousands of dollars,” Damien replied, and Ginny squealed again.“Tha

Dora couldn’t keep it in anymore. She was burning to ask why Kael, of all people, had given Ginny a pair of diamond earrings. It didn’t make sense to her. She wanted to ask straight up if there was something going on between them, but before she could even open her mouth to do that, Jett stood up and handed Ginny his gift.It was a huge box and everyone’s attention immediately went to it. The whole table went quiet for a moment, trying to guess what could possibly be inside. Jett crossed his arms and had a proud smile, watching as Ginny carefully unwrapped the ribbon and opened the box.As soon as she lifted the lid and saw what was inside, she gasped loudly. It was a designer handbag but not just any type of handbag. It was the latest Burberry limited edition.“This is the latest bag by Burberry,” Jett said, smiling hard as everyone stared at the bag. “I had it shipped in. They didn’t even have it here, and it’s a limited edition.”Ginny looked from the bag to Jett with her mouth op

“You must be acting like this because Damien is suddenly behind you, right?” Dora snapped angrily, glaring at Nolan like he had just done the most annoying thing ever. “But just so you know, you’re still very shameless.”Ginny was about to talk again, her mouth already open to add more insults, but Damien stopped them. “That’s enough, guys,” he said with a fake calm smile, before turning to the waiter. “Please get our food ready.”Minutes later, the waiter returned with some other waiters following behind him, all of them carrying trays filled with different meals. They began placing everyone’s food on the table one after another. There was so much food that it couldn’t even fit on the table alone, and they had to get another table to place the rest.The whole table looked like a mini feast. Plates of pasta, roasted chicken, steak, salad bowls, desserts, and glasses of wine were spread across the tables. Everyone stared in amazement at how much had been ordered. Nolan reached forward

Damien could see the look on Nolan’s face and quickly cleared his throat, trying to sound serious. “Come on, guys,” he said. “You can’t treat Nolan this way. Even though Nolan is a waiter or cleaner or whatever, we can’t treat him like that right now. We’re here for a celebration, and we should let him enjoy himself too, don’t you think? He just finished working, so we can’t let him come here and start working again. That won’t be nice of us.” Damien said, pretending to defend Nolan.Then he turned to the waiter and shouted, “When you’re done, please come and attend to us!”The waiter nodded quickly and turned back to the table he was already attending to. Everyone at the table went quiet for a few seconds, and Nolan looked at Damien, a bit surprised that he spoke up for him but little did he know that Damien wasn’t trying to help him at all.Damien had no plans of saving Nolan’s face. In fact, he wanted to embarrass him even more. He hadn’t forgotten what happened with Rico the last

The moment Damien said that, everyone paused. Savannah turned back slowly, staring at Damien like he had just said the most ridiculous thing ever. Ginny’s mouth dropped open a little, her eyes darting between Nolan and Damien. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.“Are you serious right now?” Dora asked, her tone filled with disbelief. “ You’re inviting Nolan? To Ginny’s birthday party? Damien, are you feeling okay?”Damien smiled. “I’m serious. It’s her birthday, and birthdays are supposed to be about fun, right? Why not let him join? Maybe he’s not as bad as everyone thinks.”Savannah rolled her eyes. “Or maybe you’re just trying to make things awkward for everyone,” she snapped. “Because there’s no way Nolan is joining this party.The girls were clearly not interested in Nolan joining them for the party, and Jett was about to say there was no way Nolan was stepping into that place when he caught a certain look on Damien’s face. It didn’t take him long to figure it out. Damien

“I worked all my life for your father,” Luis began, his voice filled with bitterness. “Tirelessly helped him build Stellarcorp from the ground up. And when the company became big, he still used me like a fool.”“I didn’t mind at first,” he continued. “I treated Stellarcorp like it was mine too. Gave it everything. But then, out of nowhere, he decides to look for his long-lost son, to give you the company.”Luis scoffed.“He didn’t even ask me what I thought. Didn’t care. Just ordered me to find you and hand it all over. To make it worse, he told me to watch over you while you ran the company. Can you imagine that? Me, the man who brought Stellarcorp to fame, reduced to your babysitter.”“The company should have been mine, not yours. Your father’s lucky he died when he did, helping you escape. It was supposed to be you six feet under, not him. But you were just lucky that day. My men did a sloppy job.”Suddenly, a voice rang out.“Enough of your talk, just kill this bastard already!”

“Am I in a moving car? I’m definitely in one.” Damson thought to himself as he opened his eyes groggily. He tried to sit up and realized he was in the trunk of a car. He banged on it several times, trying to get it open, but it wouldn’t budge. He began to sweat, helpless and disoriented, forced to wait until someone decided to open it.“Who did this to me? What happened?”“Why can’t I remember being put in the trunk?” Is Maria okay? Was she also shoved into another car?”So many questions ran through Damson’s head. He was confused. His head felt heavy, too big to carry.He eventually laid back down and decided to wait until the car stopped. After about twenty minutes of pure torture, the car finally came to a halt. Damson let out a small sigh of relief. He heard muffled voices outside, and then suddenly, the trunk flung open.He blinked against the light and tried to sit up, but his body failed him. He couldn’t move. No matter how hard he tried, only his head responded. “What the he

Damson couldn’t leave the Wilsons just like that after finding out what Mr. Wilson had done for him. The man saved his life, and the least Damson could do was help the family with the funeral preparations. He paid for all the expenses and also gave them a large sum of money to sustain them for a long time. He even advised Logan to invest wisely.He had wanted to stay longer, but Logan asked him not to. His mother and sister would only feel more pain with him around. His presence would be a constant reminder of what happened to their father, and they didn’t need that. Damson understood and didn’t push further so he left.At first, he decided to head to his apartment, but then he changed his mind and went to the dorm instead. He hadn’t been there in a while, and he wanted to see his friends, Luke and Fred. They had reached out to him several times, asking where he was and why he hadn’t been around. At the time, he couldn’t tell them he was married, so he just told them he had gone job

Maria sat in the car, fiddling with her fingers, random thoughts flying through her mind as she stared out the window. Kate was seated beside her, and two other men were in the car with them.She didn’t fully understand what she was doing or what she had just agreed to but one thing was clear, she couldn’t die because of someone else.Damson would do the same, right? Maria wondered, now biting her nails.He’d choose survival too, even if it meant putting me in danger… right? Anyone would… right? She was disturbed.“But Damson betrayed me too. He treated me like a fool, lied to me, and deceived me. I thought that we were close, that our bond was real.”“Had he been acting all along?”“How is he even the president of StellarCorp? When did that happen?”“He was the poorest student in school. So how? It doesn’t make sense.” Maria’s thoughts raced, growing angrier by the second.“I could’ve gotten more opportunities. I could’ve had a good job in his company. I was close to him! But he de

“What! No, no, please don’t kill me. Please don’t,” Maria cried, scared for her life. Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. She was scared, disturbed, and deeply worried and she couldn’t help but be angry at Damson for dragging her into his mess.She was in this situation because of him.“Caleb and the boss want Damson dead, and now, because of him, I’m going to die too.” She thought to herself. “Where’s Kate?” the boss asked, ignoring Maria’s cries.“Since the last time she almost got caught by Damson, Kate had been lying low.” One of the men replied. “Tell her to come here right now. She has someone to get rid of.”“Is that really the next thing you’re supposed to do? I don’t care what you do with Maria, but can it wait till we finish off Damson? Why are you wasting time killing people you’re not supposed to!?” Caleb asked the boss, frustrated.“It’s your fault this is happening!” the boss snapped. “I told you nobody was supposed to know that Damson is the president of Stel

Caleb ran his hand through his hair angrily. His body trembled, and all he wanted to do was find Damson and end his life. He wasn’t interested in whatever plan the boss had to offer. He just wanted to carry out his own.His life had taken a dip after his father lost his company and couldn’t get help from anyone. He had called all his father’s friends and visited different companies for assistance, but everyone gave him the same answer, they couldn’t help. He was devastated. His father became ill, and they had to sell their cars and properties just to afford treatment.Caleb was left with nothing. He was broke and had to struggle to get by every day. Because of that, he hardly showed up at school. Everyone had known him as one of the richest boys in the university, but now, everything was gone. He had nothing.To avoid questions and rumors, he stayed away from school and wandered around. He spent most of his days at clubs, stealing from people and drinking. It was during one of those
