Chapter 1
Nolan could feel a headache forming as he stared at the list of expenses his girlfriend’s mother handed to him.”$2,000 for the engagement party… $4,000 for family gifts… $10,000 for the wedding ceremony… $5,000 for more gifts… and $7,000 for the honeymoon.”The numbers blurred together and his heart sankHe had met his girlfriend in school, and he loved her deeply. Getting married to her had always been his biggest dream and he looked forward to it every single day. But now that the day was finally approaching, his dream was slowly turning into a nightmare. The cost of the wedding was beyond what he had imagined. He had already calculated over $100,000 and the list kept growing.As someone who had struggled financially all his life, barely getting by, this was overwhelming. His parents had died when he was young, and since then, he had lived with his aunt, who now sat beside him, her face filled with worry and sadness.“Can we try to do just a small wedding?” his aunt asked gently,

“I’m very disappointed with your choices, Savanna! What exactly is wrong with you? Don’t you think at all? Is this how I raised you!?” Savanna’s mother yelled the moment she stepped through the door.“Mom, please. I just got in. Can you let me rest before bombarding me with questions? I need a break.” Savanna sighed, rubbing her forehead as she headed toward her room.“Don’t you dare take another step!” Her mother’s sharp voice stopped her. She turned, meeting her mother’s angry gaze as she pointed a finger at her. “If I had married a poor man, do you really think you’d be living such a good life right now? I made the decision to stay away from men who are worthless and have nothing to offer, and you must do the same! There is no way I will let you marry Nolan while I’m still alive!”Savanna didn’t respond. Instead, she turned and walked straight to her room, locking the door behind her. If only her mother knew she had already ended things with Nolan. She had hoped they could work so

“You need to come with me. This isn’t where you belong.” The old man said to Nolan, pulling him out of his thoughts. Your place is with your family, not here. It’s time to leave this behind.” “What? No… I can’t just leave. What about Aunt?” Nolan hurriedly said, his mind racing.. Then, suddenly, he realized something. “Wait… where is Aunt?”He quickly scanned the room and found her sitting in a corner, sadness clearly written on her face.“Aunt, what’s wrong?” he asked, rushing to her side. He had been so caught up with everything that he hadn’t even noticed she was in the room.His aunt sniffed, trying to stop her tears . “I’m so sorry, Nolan.”Nolan was confused. “What are you sorry for? What’s going on? Why are you crying? Talk to me.” Elizabeth cleared her throat, drawing Nolan’s attention. “I didn’t get to tell you this part of the story earlier. The reason you weren’t found at the accident scene was because your… aunt and her husband took you from there and raised you as their

Nolan was about to speak to the woman whose name tag read Jane when the man who had pushed him aside cut in with a mocking tone.“You have a lot of nerve for someone your age,” the man scoffed. “Your boldness is something else. I deposit more than a million dollars every year in this bank, and I don’t act the way you do. You’re making noise over a few hundred? What a joke.”The customers around them burst into laughter. Some pointed at Nolan, others whispered to each other, clearly amused.Jane snorted and crossed her arms, looking at Nolan with disgust.“This bank doesn’t care if you take all your money away,” she said sharply. “So go ahead and do it. Do as you wish and stop being a nuisance.She clearly didn’t take him seriously.Nolan stayed calm. He didn’t see the point in arguing anymore. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his bank card.“Withdraw all the money in my account,” he said coldly. “Don’t leave even a penny behind.”“You’re still being stupid and difficult, aren

Nolan stood in front of Savannah’s house, adjusting his shirt. His heart was racing, filled with so many emotions, but the one that stood out the most was happiness.He finally had the money for the wedding and he could finally marry the love of his life.Taking a deep breath, he pressed the doorbell. The door swung open almost immediately and Savannah’s mother with her arms folded and eyes cold, glared at Nolan. “How dare you disturb me this hot afternoon?” she snapped. “Didn’t I make it clear to you and that aunt of yours never to show up here again? Were you deaf, or are you suffering from some ear infection? Maybe your poverty has affected your brain too! Do you think this is a charity house? Coming here, dressed like a beggar. Do you have no shame at all?”She scoffed and took a step forward.“In case you didn’t hear me last time, let me make it clear again. You’re not worthy of my daughter. Your family is so poor, I won’t even let you near my dog. You’re nothing but a walking d

A bright yellow sports car pulled up in front of Savannah’s house. She and her best friend, Dora, got out. Jett, the driver, followed behind them and jogged over to Savannah, pulling her into a hug.Savannah was dressed in a skimpy dress with heavy makeup, and Dora looked the same. They met Jett at the club the night before after Savannah had texted him. He had been interested in Savannah for a long time, and when she finally reached out to him, he was thrilled.He took her to a bar with his friends, and she invited Dora along. After some time at the bar, they all went to the club.Jett kissed Savannah on the lips, holding her tight and she wrapped her arms around him, kissing him back. Dora giggled as she watched.After a moment, Dora cleared her throat. “I’m still here, guys, in case you forgot,” she said with a smirk.Jett pulled away, looking at Savannah. “I’ll let you go before I drag you back into my car,” he said. “I’ll see you again, right?”Savannah smiled, tapping his chest
Chapter 7
Savannah and Dora stared at the pile of money Nolan had dumped on the table, their eyes wide with surprise. They had never seen so much cash in one place before.Savannah opened her mouth to speak, but her mother quickly rushed in from the kitchen. “I didn’t know you were back!” she exclaimed, bouncing with excitement. “Look at what Nolan has done! He really brought the money to make things right for the wedding. He’s serious about you, Savannah, and I’m so happy for you both. I give you my blessings. You can get married now.”Savannah couldn’t believe her ears. Her voice was sharp with frustration as she replied. “Mum, are you serious? What are you saying? You didn’t want us to get married before, and now you’ve changed your mind because he finally sold his aunt’s land to get some money?”To Savannah, the only explanation for how Nolan could afford this amount of money so quickly was that he had sold his aunt’s land. It wasn’t a sign of progress to her and it changed nothing.“You so
Chapter 8
It was Monday morning, and Nolan got dressed for school. He was in his final year and had been looking forward to this session for one reason, it was supposed to be the year he married Savannah. But that dream is gone now.Since it was the first day of classes, He knew most students wouldn’t bother showing up for lectures. So instead, he decided to visit his friends at the dormitory.He didn’t live in the dorm because It was too expensive. He barely managed to pay his school fees, so he couldn’t afford the dormitory fee either. That’s why he came from home every day, even though it was stressful. Sometimes, when it got too hard, he slept over in his friends’ room.As he stepped into the room, the room fell silent and his friends turned to stare at him.Nolan noticed the tension and raised a brow. “What’s going on?” he asked, walking in. “You guys were clearly talking before I came in. Don’t try to lie and say it’s nothing or a secret, because that’ll only make me more curious.”He sat

“We’re not buying food from the local store, I hope you know that? And I’m not eating anything less than proper food from that new restaurant that just opened,” Cole said to Nolan, eyeing him closely to see if he’d change his mind. But Nolan simply shrugged.“I’m fine with whatever you want to eat, so don’t worry,” Nolan replied casually.Cole narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure about that?” He pressed further, still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Nolan might be able to afford something like this now. He knew Nolan’s situation well. He had always been the poorest among them, struggling just to get by everyday. There were even times when Cole and Gabriel had to help him out with his school fees and daily needs. So, the idea of Nolan suddenly being able to treat them to expensive food didn’t sit right with him.“You don’t think I can buy food for the both of you?” Nolan asked with a smirk. “Why so many questions?”Cole stammered, unsure of how to respond. “No… it’s not that…
Chapter 10
Fiona burst into laughter, the sound loud and mocking as she grabbed her waist like she couldn’t breathe.“Is this some kind of joke?” she wheezed between laughs. “You want to know the price of the bag I’m talking about? Why? So you can buy it for me or what?”She laughed again, this time louder and drawing attention from nearby tables.“Yes, you’re right,” Nolan said calmly, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “That’s exactly why I asked because I want to buy it for you but I don’t get why you’re laughing. What’s funny in what I said?Fiona’s face twisted with anger as she shook her head. “It’s funny because someone like you is talking about buying me something expensive. Have you forgotten who you are?” She stepped closer, sneering. “In case you have, let me remind you and so you can also understand why I’m laughing.”Cole’s eyes widened, already sensing where this was going, but he couldn’t stop Fiona on time. She was already talking. You have nothing, Nolan. You’re broke, like dirt b
