Chapter 31Power is power, if you ask me.I was a nobody before all of this. Everything changed with a single name. With a title, I became someone to be reckoned with. Someone to be feared.My name was on the lips of every student, and every stunning female student wanted to be friends with me. I can't say no.Tessa was a bit jealous. We agreed on a contract date, but then I wasn't going to show her I was lesser. I needed to show everyone that I was not a pauper anymore.I walked into the school campus with Park right by my side. Everything had been forgotten. The fight between Nathan and me was the only topic in the school, and who was going to come out on top was a question that no one knew the answer to.“ I told you, Adrian is capable.”“ I know he would silence those damn bloggers!”“ I can't believe he kicked Nathan's and Jack's asses.”The male students said right behind my back as I walked past them.“ He is so hot!”“ I want him!”“ I don't understand why Sophia would leave h

Chapter 33“ Boys, why don't we calm down? We are here for the party. Why don't we make this show a little lively?” Tessa’s father said, looking at both of them. “ How?” Nathan asked, staring at Tessa's face. The fact that I had to share Tessa with him again was very insulting to me. He had Sophia taken for me, and now this too. I know I had approached Tessa with a mission, but then Tessa is mine, and I won't allow him to take her.Not this time. “ Does she know about this?” I asked, my eyes darting towards Nathan. “ Does anyone know? And why do I have to tell her? Do you know how many women and ladies lust after me? I don't need to tell someone like you because you will never understand. You will never belong to our world.” Nathan taunted. My gaze darted towards Clifton, who looked at me. I was going to make him change his decision. I was going to make Nathan lose the arrangement he had with the Davenports, and I was going to win again tonight. “ Well, I believe I know what is r

Chapter 35My eyes darted, and I couldn't find Tessa or Nathan anymore. The way Nathan had talked to her. I felt Tessa might be in trouble even in her own house. “ I need to go,” I said immediately, my eyes dancing around the people who were in the hall. “ I just told you that she is fine. You don't need to bother yourself.” Zed said, grabbing my hands. “ Grab me once more, and you are going to see the other side of me!” I said, my voice laced with fury. Zed slowly let go of my hands with awe. She had never seen me like that before, or should I say she doesn't know much about me? Park walked towards me, his gaze fixed on mine. “ What is it, Adrian?” He asked, looking at me. “ I need you to find her,” I said immediately, tiptoeing to have a glance over the heads of many people who had come to the occasion. “ Who exactly are you looking for, and as for the meeting with her parents? How did it go?” “I need to find Tessa,” I said quickly. “ She will be fine, Adrian. You don't need t

Chapter 37The school bubbled over with what happened at Davenport's home. I needed to save face, but Tessa did not give me the listening ears that I needed.“ Do you think she is avoiding me?” I asked, staring at Park. “ I don't know, Adrian. I think you both need to sort that out again. Why don't you use this opportunity to bring Sophia back into the game? Tell her she was a side chick all along and Nathan has eyes on the ultimate prize.”“ And what is the ultimate price?” I asked with my eyebrows arched a bit. “ Do I need to spell it out for you, Adrian? Honestly, you need to start leveling games with Nathan. He thinks he is smart, but he is not. You need to let him see that.”“ Did you hear that Adrian tried to rape Tessa?” One of the students asked.“ What? I thought they were dating. Why?”“ I guess Tessa had been playing games with him all along. If I were Adrian, I would be angry as well.”I clenched my fist in anger as the whispering started getting louder. “ We need to do so

Chapter 39I lay back on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I had tried calling Tessa a few times, but she was not picking up. I knew I had created a bad impression of myself. It was obvious the Davenports hated me by now, but I needed to create another chance for myself.Another opportunity to redeem myself. I remember Mr. Clinton had talked about sponsoring a group of students at the university. If I could help him with the sponsor, then I knew it was a start.I looked at the video I was holding, and I knew it could change a lot of things for me. But first I was going to make a fool out of Nathan and Tessa; I was going to make her jealous, and she would wish she would come back to me.First, I need to make my move. I got up from the bed, entered into the bathroom, and had a clean shave. I was going to call Zee and take her out for dinner.That was a brilliant plan. I didn't even care if it was reckless or if I wasn't thinking it through. I needed to show Tessa it was all about the cont
