Chapter 1 "You lazy ass, be fast with the cleaning! Hurry, go start cleaning the cafeteria, the students will be out soon for breakfast." A man shouted angrily with contempt noticeable on his face. "I'll soon be done, sir. Just give me some minutes." A voice answered. This was Daniel Hovsep, a twenty-three-year-old University student, who had been working different part-time jobs just to save up for a special birthday gift for his girlfriend, Karol Kathie, the school's most popular beautiful girl. Apart from being a delivery and laundry man, Daniel was also a part-time cleaner at Leeds University, where he and his girlfriend were both students. That morning, he woke up around 5 Am to clean the cafeteria. A rivulet of sweat was plastered on his face, showing how long he had been cleaning the whole place. It was already 8 a.m. and he wasn't done cleaning. He was currently cleaning the University cafeteria when students started entering to eat. Placing his face on the ground

Chapter 3 After an hour's drive, the cab that Daniel was inside came to a stop in front of a luxurious building with a large black gate. This was the Royal Garden Hotel. Daniel stepped out of the car and settled the driver who drove off after receiving his payment. Daniel then turned and stared at the gate. He looked at himself and he didn't mind the wet clothes he was wearing at that moment. With a composed demeanor, even though he was slightly ashamed of what he was putting on, Daniel approached the gate and knocked on it gently before withdrawing his hand, awaiting it to be opened for him. Almost immediately, the gate was opened, revealing the gate guard, who looked at him with an irritated expression. “Good morning, Mr. Daniel.” He just greeted him casually. If not that he knew Daniel to be a worker there, he would have thrown him out without a second thought because his outfits were so dilapidated to the eyes. Daniel noticed how the gate guard was looking at him dis

Chapter 5 The three men, without delay, jumped off Victor, whose face was filled with bruises. His jaw had swollen up, causing his mouth to look as if there was something inside of it. His breathing was so fast that everyone there was hearing it. There was a little relief in his voice after the men stopped even though he was in pain. Victor sat up, his hand on his chest, trying to calm his breath. “You're very lucky I was called or you would have paid more than what your friend had taken.” Nicholas stepped forward and said, his expression still cold. He then turned to his bodyguards, “Let's go.” They nodded in synchronization. They were about to leave when Brown rushed forward, “I'm sorry, Mr. Nicholas, for the trouble caused. I sincerely apologized on his behalf.” He said with a heavy heart, his voice laced with emotions. Nicholas looked at him and replied indifferently, “Sorry won't change anything, Brown. Your useless employee almost killed me in your office and you

Chapter 7 The cab that had carried Daniel and Victor came to a halt in front of a big black gate and they stepped out. After settling the driver, they went inside. The compound was filled with cars; Daniel looked around and felt something inside of him telling him not to go further. He halted, “Victor, I don't want to go; please, let's go back; this party isn't meant for poor people like us.” “Oh, come on, Daniel. Stop belittling yourself this way.” Victor waved his hand in dismissal. “We aren't going to do anything here. Just have a glimpse of everything, then go back.” He dragged Daniel's hand, taking him inside. And if Daniel was, to be honest, he saw a smirk on Victor's lips. The hall was filled with familiar faces as Daniel looked around, recognizing everyone as his fellow students in the same 300 level. Every one of them was all the people who were always mocking and making fun of him for being poor, except for Victor, who had always stood by his side. Everyone had

Chapter 9 The nurse immediately brought out the stethoscope, examining Daniel before reassuring the old man, “Don't worry, he'll be alright.” She left. “Dan, ho..how are you doing now?” The old man asked, his voice breaking as he stretched his hand forward, touching Daniel emotionally. Daniel's eyes blinked, his blurry eyes staring around the room before settling on the old man whose face seemed a bit familiar to him but he couldn't recall his face properly. The man was looking extremely wealthy. His outfits and look alone said everything about him. “W—who are you? And where is this place?” Daniel's weak voice came out, trying to get it strong. The man sat beside the bed, his face laced with sorrow. He tried to touch Daniel again, but he dodged. Sighing frustratedly, he replied, “You're in the hospital, son. And I'm your father, just get well soon.” Father? Daniel's heart was swollen in anger. What will his father be doing here after abandoning him for years? And another thi
