chapter one
Chapter 1 Outside the bustling Grandview Hotel in the heart of Riverside City, Jake Miller received a surprise call from an unknown number on his old, worn-out phone. “Good evening, Mr. Miller, I’m Barrister David Smith, the new lawyer in charge of your inheritance. The previous lawyer had a major emergency to take care of, and as such the case had to be reassigned.” Jake had an expression of confused annoyance. He was confused because he had no idea that his father had even left a will and annoyed because he was in a hurry—he needed to make a delivery. “Sorry uhm…Mr…Smith, for what reason have you put this call through to me?” “Mr. Miller, I’d like for us to meet in my office whenever is convenient for you, You have an inheritance whose details I wouldn’t want to discuss over the phone.” Jake let out a derisive laugh and assumed they must have gotten the wrong person. “I’m sorry to put it to you Mr. Smith but you have gotten hold of the wrong person. Do enjoy the rest of your

Chapter two.“Coming.” he quickly wiped the tears off. As he opened the door, it didn’t do much for him to find that it was his landlady, an ugly woman who was suspiciously large. “Good day, Mrs. Primrose.” He said politely “Good day right back at you, Jake” she fired at him and he shrank backwards. “Have you got the money to pay up for the space you are occupying right now? “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Primrose, I just need a few more days, I’ll be getting my paycheck then and I promise not to waste one penny before I bring it to you.” But she was having none of that, “You have till the end of today to get me my money.” “I apologise, ma’am but I don’t think that would be possible for me to do.” She flared up because he had called her ma’am which made her seem old. “You have only today. Or,” she said slyly, flapping the hand fan she was holding. “You can either move out by the end of the day or become my sugar baby and I could even give you some three thousand dollars each month.” she r

Chapter 3While in the elevator, Jake looked at his sweating palms and laughed self-deprecatingly, “I still made a scene.” But that was beside him right now, he needed to figure out why anybody would give him five million dollars and even speak about an inheritance.The elevator finally came to a halt on the 99th floor. Jake took deep breaths to calm himself down.He just stepped out when a well-dressed man in his early fifties walked to greet him and ushered him into the office.It was a big office, seeming to occupy the whole floor with expensive decorations.“Good evening, sir. I'm Mr. Miller.” Jake said as he entered the office.“Good evening, Mr. Miller. I am so glad that it was indeed possible for you to join me today. I know you must be dying to know the truth behind all of this.”“You are very right, I need to know.”“First things first, I am Jack Black, and what is your full name?””Jake Miller, sir. My name is Jake Miller.”“Okay, Jake, do you know the owner of this great c

Chapter 4“Margaret! What in heaven’s name are you doing? Why are you harassing him?”Before Margaret could answer herself, Antonio, one of the security guards jumped Jake and held him roughly, as though he had caught a thief. “He bumped into Madam Margaret, and made her spill coffee on her dress, and would not even apologize.”Antonio did that to show off because he has a crush on the manager.“Margaret, did he bump into you or spill your coffee deliberately?” Mr. Black asked Margaret, totally ignoring Antonio.“No, Mr. Black,” Margaret said meekly.He then turned towards Antonio, and said, “And you, let go of him and walk out that door, but do not return to set foot in here. You're fired.”Antonio was perplexed. He started to plead but Mr. Black dismissed him with a wave of his hand.“Now, Margaret, apologize to Mr. Miller here.”When she heard him call Jake Mr. Miller and treat him with so much respect, her heart began to beat fast because she then realized that he was not just a n

His aggressive plays fueled the Young Dragons as the crowd cheered on.After about an hour, the game finally came to an end with the Black Tigers losing to the Young Dragons.Amidst the celebration, Jake was congratulating his friend when someone bumped him from behind.“Hey fellas, rejoicing over a failure?” Arthur was shouting ev

Chapter 6Jake had had enough of listening to this and enough of clenching his fingers. Only that they do not know who he's yet, so he retorted “So what do YOU say? Have you got a place in mind? We could all go there.”“OH really,” Arthur nodded. “Then why not try Three Seasons, I doubt if you have ever been there.”“Three Seasons huh? Why not? Arthur, you and I will split the bill.”“What?” Arthur became instantly worried about the bill.“What? Are you scared? I mean you have definitely eaten at the Three Seasons, right? So let’s go on.” Jake urged.“Scared? Me? Are you out of your senses?” Arthur yelled at Jake. Although He wasn't sure how much money he had or if his credit card still had cash in it. But right now, he cannot afford to lose to Jake, the school pauper.“Let's go then.” Jake said, leading the way.An hour later, Jake, Saint, Santino, Katy, Arthur, Melissa, and the rest of the teammates arrived at the Three Seasons Restaurant.Daisy and Samantha and the other cheerleade

Chapter 7Among the dishes thirty signature dishes were, The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence which cost twenty thousand five hundred dollars, Almas Caviar, thirty four thousand dollars per kilogram.Everyone enjoyed the meal, even Daisy and Samantha. The only people that did not seem to be enjoying the meal were Arthur and Melissa.Arthur knew that he did not have enough money to pay his own half of what they had eaten and Melissa knew that too, but she was downcast because she had expected Jake to still be hung up on her and not him moving on this fast.When the manager of the restaurant heard about them, he came to their table with security.Seeing that they ordered a lot of food and they were barely students, he thought that they could not afford to pay."Who's in charge here? Your bill is 250k. Are you able to pay?" The manager said, looking at them sternly."Ha! Of course we can pay. It's a split bill, I'll pay half and my friend over there will pay the other half and I'm not

Chapter 8Jake spent the following day searching for an appropriate place to get suits from for Katy’s birthday ball he was attending. A lot of people treated him poorly because he was familiar to them as a delivery guy.He got to a particular boutique and stopped. Something about it just attracted him to it.When he entered the boutique, the store attendants took one look at him and decided they didn’t want to have anything to do with him.“Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you please? He was greeted by an intern.“Hi,” he said brightly and flashed her a smile. “I need help in picking out some suits for a masquerade ball.”“Oh that is really nice, so would you like a dark-themed suit, something within the lines of midnight black and maroon?”“Yes, exactly. That would be just perfect.”They heard a sudden burst of laughter and both raised their heads up to look but they could not seem to find the source of the humor.“Please ignore them.” the intern told him in a nice low voice, she

Chapter 9The night had finally come. Katy’s birthday party was the hottest event on campus. Held in a luxurious mansion on the edge of the city, everyone who was someone—or wanted to be someone—was there.Flashy cars lined the long driveway. A red carpet stretched all the way to the entrance and everyone present wore expensive suits and glittering gowns.All eyes turned as a particular gold Lamborghini screeched into the driveway. The doors lifted up like wings, and out stepped Arthur in a gold suit with black lapels, flanked by Melissa in a glittering silver dress that shimmered like ice. Her hair was curled to perfection. Behind them trailed Nathan, Daisy, Samantha, and the usual crew of spoiled bullies, all dressed to kill. Their arrival became the talk of the show.Arthur walked confidently with his chin up, as if the party was held just for him. He greeted people like a celebrity. Melissa held his arm, smirking as though she were already queen of the night.Everyone wanted to kn

Chapter 10Gasps filled the party hall. The crowd quickly formed a circle around Jake as the influencer—an online personality known as “RichieBoy_X,” who loved exposing fake rich people at events—stepped forward with a smug grin. He had nearly a million followers and was live-streaming already.“Let’s see if this so-called rich boy is actually who he says he is,” RichieBoy_X announced dramatically, holding up the blinking diamond tester like it was Excalibur.Arthur folded his arms and leaned against a pillar, smiling triumphantly. Melissa stood beside him with her arms crossed, pretending not to care, but the hope in her eyes was clear: she wanted Jake to be humiliated.Jake stood calmly in the center of the growing circle. He looked at RichieBoy_X, then at the crowd filled with hungry eyes, waiting for a show.RichieBoy_X stepped forward. “Don’t worry, it won’t hurt. Unless you’re lying. Then it’ll hurt your reputation forever.” He pressed the tip of the tester to the diamond on Jak
