Aside from Annabelle, Anthony could sense the hostility oozing from everyone else and all the alarms in his head were going off. What could they want?

"Look at that, the dog has returned! Sadly, Officer Wilson and his partner will be taking you back to jail, a cage where animals like you truly belong!" Patience standing in front of the other family members spoke.

"What are you talking about? You know what, I don't have time for thi—" Anthony was extremely tired so he waved Patience and the rest of the family goodbye, wanting to walk away when…

"You're not going anywhere you scumbag! You remember this?" Officer Wilson stepped forward, blocking Anthony's path to his room and then he pushed something small and shiny towards him.

"A woman's necklace? Of course I don't remember that, why should ?!" Looking annoyed Anthony answered.

"This was found in your room and we all know you can't afford something this luxurious. The real owner is right here, Carla Maple!" Officer Wilson said, provoking Anthony to flick his eyes towards Carla.

"Admit it, you stole her necklace and tried to sell it!" Officer Wilson dangled the emerald necklace in front of everyone, making Anthony look at it.

"What? And why would I need to sell a necklace? Is your uniform buttoned too tight that your brain isn't receiving enough oxygen or what?" Anthony was getting annoyed.

"Why you! Watch your mouth when talking to my boss, you pig!" Wilson's partner interjected. Although they are supposed to be partners, he seemed to hold Wilson in much higher esteem for some reason.

"It's okay Greg, the trash has been caught and is just trying to deny but there's no use," Officer Wilson said, looking mischievously into Anthony's annoyed pupils then turned around to the rest of the family 

"Carla, since it's your necklace why don't you reveal to the garbage the fact that we all know his dirty secret" Officer Wilson suggested.

"??" Anthony was shocked, thinking that the family had found out about the secret past he was trying to hide and bury from them. His heart started to beat faster. This was the worse possible thing.

Anthony glared at Carla who stepped two paces forward and stood behind Patience.

After Patience, Carla was the one he hates the most because she was the one they used to try and accuse him of rape, and so seeing her left a sour taste in his mouth.

"I overheard Anthony speaking with Grandfather about needing money for a friend's daughter who's in the hospital. Before then, he must have stolen my necklace because he also told Grandfather that he had found a way to get some money for a portion of the payment and we all know there's no way someone like him can have any money to do anything…"

"Suspicious of him, Julius and I checked his room which was where we found my necklace, hidden so that no one could find it"

"WHAT!? That doesn't even make any sense! Grandfather promised to give me all the money I need after the party so why would I steal your necklace?! Officer Wilson, this is all a lie—" suddenly, Anthony's eyes fidgeted 

During his speech to defend himself, it was obvious by the smirks they all had that something wasn't right so he started peering above their heads and then he understood. They were lying through their teeth.

"You all know that I'm innocent but still planned to frame me for something I didn't do, again! And you too Wilson, you're also a part of their plan!" Anthony gritted his teeth angrily, eyebrows furious, fists clenched in rage.

"Why would anyone from such a distinguished family and two officers of the law lie about a waste of space like you, huh? You've been caught red-handed and now it's time to face your punishment" Officer Wilson handed the necklace to Greg.

At the moment, seeing Officer Wilson walking towards him, something deep within Anthony broke from all the built-up rage he had had no other choice but to contain.

This has been the most ruthless the Maple family has ever been towards him and it was because Grey Maple is no longer there to protect him.

"What did I ever do to you people to deserve getting all your shit, what's my offense? Tell me!" Anthony cried out. For the first time since he came to the Maple family mansion, he had been brought to his limits.

"Your offense, you ask? Your offense is that you were born and you dared to think that you could come into my family as you belong. Well, I have bad news for you, I won't allow that to happen, over my dead body!" Patience replied, arms folded and having no remorse for what they were all doing.

Anthony couldn't believe that they hated him this much to go this far. All he could see was evil standing in front of him.

He mumbled "Why am I just realizing that these are really bad people, all of them and bad people should be PUNISHED" Anthony's aura was stained black, his heartbeat doubled, eyes red with veins popping out on them, and finally…

HE SNAPS.

Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

    Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

    Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

    "Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

    Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

    Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion.
