“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

“Wow, this is crazy.”“So awesome. I’ve never experienced this in my entire life of watching live streams.”“Lara is so lucky, I’m jealous.”“Please, who knows who User X is? I need to make him my friend, please.”The comment section was still going wild over User X. Messages kept flooding in, people praising him, people worshipping him, people begging for him to notice them. It was chaos and Lara almost thought that she would have to end the live stream because she was scared of traffic. Almost everyone in her comment section was just as impressed as she was. But Ben, Cole, and some of the other boys in the class were not impressed at all. In fact, their faces were dark as they watched everything unfold on their screens. They didn’t care about the amount of gifts he dropped. They didn’t care about the money. All they could see was how disgusting User X was. He could have dropped those gifts without humiliating Lara, without asking her to unbutton her shirt but he decided to do it th

Everyone could see that User X was starting to get impatient and that he would really leave the live stream if Lara didn’t do what he wanted. Suddenly, the people that were on Lara’s side earlier slowly started to change what they were saying.“I don’t know if Lara is making a good decision by sending User X away. It would be a huge loss for her.”“She would need at least twenty people or more to raise a million dollars, and one single person is willing to give it. Is she really going to let that flop?”“A million dollars is a crazy amount of money. If she’s not willing to do what User X said, then she’s not ready to be an influencer or even help the orphanage.”“I thought she said she was willing to do anything to make sure the orphanage remains. Unbuttoning just a few buttons shouldn’t be a big deal if we think about it.”The comment section completely shifted. More and more people started saying things that pointed at the fact that Lara should just unbutton her shirt and that it wa

The boys all mumbled angrily among themselves and returned their attention to their phones because Ben didn’t give them the answer they wanted to hear. Ben realized most of them weren’t even listening anymore, so he leaned a little closer and lowered his voice.“The reputation of this person… it’s not very good,” Ben said quietly. “I recognize his username well, and I can tell you it’s the same person I’ve seen before.”“What do you mean? What kind of reputation does he have?” Nolan asked, curiosity and interest evident in his tone.“He’s a narcissist,” Ben explained. “He always uses the fact that he’s rich to make some ridiculous requests. He’s very… strange, and he asks influencers to do things that are indecent if they want his rewards.”“Oh, is he the one? I’ve heard about him before. I’ve even seen some influencers do most of the things he asks for, and honestly… I don’t get it. I don’t know why he’s like that,” Cole said, shaking his head. “I had no idea he was the one.”Lara kn

All this while, as Lara was explaining, more gifts and rewards kept coming in nonstop. From the look of things, she had already gotten up to five hundred thousand dollars, which was honestly crazy. She hadn’t even been live for up to an hour yet, and the numbers were already that high. It was crazy work, and her fans were clearly not joking about the support they had for her. They were willing to do their very best, and it made Lara genuinely happy as she kept talking, smiling, and thanking every single person that dropped a gift.“This must be very difficult for Lara, and I know behind that smile that she has on her face, she’s scared and worried that she might not get the total amount of money she wants to raise.” Ben said, shaking his head slowly. “I know for a fact that the majority of her fans would love to help, but they just can’t.”“Like me, for instance.” Cole said with a sigh, his eyes still glued to the screen. “If I had the money, I would clear the limit she wants immediat

“I’ve been helping the orphanage for over a year now, and it’s all thanks to every single one of you watching this live stream right now. You all made it possible for me to pursue my dream of making sure that the orphanage gets everything it needs. But the truth is, I still need help. There is still a lot that needs to be done. A whole lot. A lot of these children are still depending on us for their homes, for food, for safety, and for a future. And I’m here today to say thank you in advance to everyone that would make this possible. Thank you to everyone that would support, no matter how small or big it is.”“Any rewards and gifts I get from this live stream will be going directly into the account of the people in charge of the orphanage. And of course, I’ll also be donating part of my own personal money too, just like I always do. This is something I truly believe in, and I would never joke with it.” “Lara is so selfless, and I can confidently say that she’s the only influencer I k

Nolan couldn’t help but chuckle as he listened to the conversation the boys were having. First of all, he couldn’t believe the lie that Lara had fed them, telling them that the man in the video was someone her best friend brought. Well, he wasn’t complaining. In fact, he liked the idea very much. As long as his name wasn’t mentioned and his face wasn’t clearly shown, he didn’t care. He was more than okay with it.“Cole, I’ve never seen you pay this much attention to a live video before. Is there something special happening today? What exactly is going on that is making you focus like this?” Nolan asked as he sat down beside Cole, glancing at his screen.Cole’s eyes didn’t leave his phone as he spoke. “Well, today is different because it’s Lara’s birthday. And every year on her birthday, she does a special live stream and all the money she gets from the stream goes straight into donation.”Nolan raised his brows slightly but didn’t interrupt him. “Lara came from a very struggling home
