“Nolan is my friend… and his business… is my… business,” Cole stuttered, his voice shaking but still loud enough for everyone to hear. “You can’t call him a thief and expect me to not say anything about it. If anyone was calling Damien what he isn’t, will you just sit still and let it happen? Definitely not…”Nolan was honestly shocked. He didn’t even hide it. He stared at Cole, surprised that he was actually standing up for him against Jett of all people. Everybody in the whole school knew how Jett was and how he could do anything he wanted, hurt anyone he liked, and still walk around freely because people were scared of him. Nobody ever wanted to be on his bad side. But Cole… even with the fear in his voice, was still standing his ground. He wasn’t backing down at all.“I told you to shut the hell up, you idiot!” Jett suddenly snapped. Before anyone could tell what was happening, he slapped Cole hard across the face, the sound echoing loudly around the entire classroom. Cole fell to

Ginny and Savannah had texted Nolan already, showing clearly that they believed he was the one who paid for the meal with his own money. If they, of all people, could admit that he paid from his pocket, shouldn’t Jett and his stupid minions also be aware of that? Or what exactly were they trying to do? Were they aware of the truth and just decided to twist it into a lie that would make him look terrible?Nolan shook his head slowly. He couldn’t understand how people could be this wicked and shameless.“Oh, the thief has chosen to grace us with his presence.”A loud voice rang out in the entire class, making everyone turn instantly. Of course, it was Jett, and right beside him was Damien, smiling like a fool that didn’t have sense.“You really have no shame, Nolan,” Jett continued loudly, making sure everyone heard him. “How can you still show your face after stealing? Have you become that shameless? Don’t you know how disturbingly embarrassing this is? I’ve never seen a thief like yo

It was another school day that Nolan honestly dreaded attending. He dressed up slowly, taking his time because he wasn’t ready to face his classmates at all. In fact, he dragged everything longer than usual. He already knew that by now, the whole news of him paying for the meals at Ginny’s party would have spread everywhere and everyone would be talking about it. He could already imagine the whispers, the questions and the unnecessary attention. He wasn’t in the mood for any of it.Of course, he knew they were going to start hailing him, calling him “billionaire,” “rich kid,” and all those nonsense names people used when they suddenly started seeing someone differently. But even with that, he still wasn’t ready for all the drama. He drove to school anyway and sat inside his car for a few minutes, staring at the steering wheel and mentally preparing himself. He let out a long breath and finally decided to just go inside and get it over with.When he stepped into the class, he winced a

Savannah started to think about how she had treated Nolan all this while, and deep down she knew there was absolutely no way he would ever accept her with open arms again. She even insulted him at Ginny’s party and always found every slight thing he did disgusting, like nothing he ever did was good enough for her.“What have I done… what have I done…” Savannah muttered to herself as she groaned out loud and paced around, feeling her chest tighten.She ran her hands through her hair aggressively, almost pulling it, because now everything was starting to set in. Nolan wasn’t the broke guy she thought. He wasn’t the embarrassment she used to complain about. He wasn’t the person she looked down on. He actually had money. The kind of money she would have enjoyed if she hadn’t messed things up. If she had just stayed with him, she would have been the girlfriend of a rich man and she wouldn’t be here beating herself up like this.The more she thought about it, the more overwhelmed she became

“Even if I tell you who I truly am, and even if I’m not who you think I am, what does that have to do with you? Whatever is happening in my life has nothing to do with you anymore. That was exactly what Nolan typed and sent back to her.Savannah's message came in so fast that Nolan knew she had been waiting on her phone, probably staring at the screen.“What do you mean I have nothing to do with your life? What about all the times you confessed your feelings to me? Are you trying to say you never loved me or what? Was there another girl in your life? Because this whole thing isn’t adding up, Nolan. You never bought me anything expensive when we were together, just cheap things here and there. But now all of a sudden, Ginny is celebrating her birthday, and you didn’t even think twice before dropping a huge amount to cover her food and drinks. You never did that for me on my own birthday. What does Ginny have that I don’t have!?”When Nolan read the message, he sat up on his bed slowly

“I’m being honest,” Fred said to Claire as he tugged on her arm a little harder, trying to make her look at him. “I was really joking all through. I love you and you alone. Nobody else.”“Better,” Claire muttered, trying her hardest not to smile even though the smile was already creeping onto her face. “It’s better I’m the only woman in your life because to be honest, I don’t think anyone can love you the way I do.”“Are you sure about that?” Fred asked, raising a brow with a teasing smirk. “Are you sure you really love me?”“Of course I do,” Claire replied immediately, looking offended that he would even dare to ask. “How will you question the love that I have for you?”“Then prove it,” Fred said, his voice dropping low as he licked his lips slowly. “I want you to prove it to me tonight.”“Ohh… I see now,” Claire said with a playful giggle. “I totally understand what you’re trying to play out, you sneaky man.” She leaned closer, smiling at him. “Okay then, what do you want me to do?

“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
