FEDERICK'S POV Austin University—one of the most prestigious universities in Orleans City. Getting in was a dream for many, and I had managed to secure a spot, not because of wealth or connections like most students here, but through sheer intelligence and hard work.But even with that, I was nothing special.I was an orphan. Poor. Looked down upon.To support myself, I worked part-time jobs, barely managing to get by. It was exhausting, but I never complained. This was my life, and I had accepted it."Thank you," I said as I handed over the delivery order to the customer."No problem. Are you new here?""Yes, sir. I've only been working at Felix Restaurant for a week.""What's your name?" "Frederick." "Okay, Fred. Get used to the atmosphere here. Gym customers usually order food from your place." the man said with a big smile on his face. "Yes, sir." I smiled as the tall, fit man walked away. He seemed to be the owner of the gym—kind and friendly. It was rare for people to tr

FEDERICK'S POV "Be your girlfriend? and why would I do that?" " Because you are going to be interested in what I have to offer you." I replied making Georgia take a quick look at me. " Fine, let's see what you have to offer." I led Georgia into the apartment I lived in. It was cozy and not well arranged. I pushed the door open and I immediately started to grab my scattered clothes that littered the room. I could see the look on her face but I said nothing. Without taking a seat, Georgia looked at me, " So what is it that you are offering. You wanted me to be your girlfriend so let's hear it." I knew what she meant, "I want you to be my girlfriend. More like a contract." "And what is in it for me?"My face lit up with joy. I knew she was interested in as long I would be paying her. " Can I pay with cash?" I asked sarcastically. Georgia sighed and rolled her eyes. "Everyone needs and likes money. As long as we don't need to get psychical then I will do it." I let out a chu

FEDERICK'S POV [ CRASH! ] The loud noise was deafening. The car rammed into her, sending her body flying through the air before she landed on the cold floor Blood pooled around her, as many bystander rushed towards her. " Call 911!" one of them shouted I couldn't breathe. The system screen vanished, leaving me to witness the horror with my own eyes. People screamed. The driver didn’t stop—he sped up and disappeared. But I saw him. I saw who was behind the wheel. I sprinted toward her, my legs weak, my heart slamming. hard against my chest. "Georgia…" My voice trembled as I dropped to my knees beside her broken body. "SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!" ****************************************************************** "Paralyzed? What do you mean?" The word hit me hard than I care to admit. The doctor’s voice was calm, but it felt like he was shattering my world. "She survived the surgery, but the impact caused damage to the brain’s movement control center. She won’t

FEDERICK'S POV " Get out!" Georgia shouted in anger. I could feel her pain, the mere thought of not being able to walk was not only going to end her career as a model but she was going to be the subject on every one slips once she gets back to schoolI could feel her pain knowing that I was the cause of it all but then I cat let Damian go without being arrested. He was going to pay for what he has done and I was going to make sure of it. I immediately got to my feet with rage and head out but I wasn't just going to stand and watch Georgia go through the pain alone. Damian is going to pay. I had seen him ram Georgia through with his car. Walking out of the hospital, I headed towards the nearest police station with only one minded set. To get Damian arrested. The police station was bubbling with lots of noise from the criminals and off course, the static radio on the table before one of the police. I walked toward one of the officer and greeted. They both looked at me an

I was stunned, completely dumbfounded by Marcu's' statement.Without thinking, I grabbed his shoulder, my grip firm enough to startle him. "Are you serious?" I asked, my voice urgent."Huh? What do you mean?""You have footage of the car at your gym?""Yes, I have it," he said, looking puzzled. "Isn't the footage near the scene enough to make the police find the car? This place is full of big shops—they must all have CCTV cameras installed, right?" he said looking at me but how do I tell him i have gone through the cafe without anything solid enough to nail Damian.Relief flooded through me so intensely that I felt like crying. After days of running in circles, searching for evidence, I had finally found a breakthrough.Marcus looked at me with concern. "Hey, what's going on? Why are you so emotional?""Marcus, take me to your place," I demanded." You might just be saving a life." I added Without wasting time, we got up and we were soon on our way to the gym house. ----------------
