In the car, Jeremy was grinning from ear to ear as he drove, when his stomach suddenly growled. Alec looked at him with raised eye brows. "I'm hungry, man" Jeremy said, pursing his lips.Alec chuckled, suddenly remembering his own empty stomach. He took out his phone and started tapping on it. "Uhh...." Jeremy glanced at him. "What are you doing?" Alec went quiet, his face in a slight frown of concentration. "Alec?" Jeremy called questioningly. "Sorry" He apologized, still typing. "Just texted my dad, asking if he would like to have dinner with us somewhere, and..." He paused to read the message on his phone. "He said he's already had dinner...and I should have fun with my friend""Oh" Alec kept typing on the phone. "So what's the issue now?" Jeremy asked, noticing how focused Alec was. "I'm trying to make reservations for us at Starlight Restaurant." "What!?" Jeremy coughed in shock. Alec looked up. "Is there a problem?" Jeremy cleared his throat "That restaurant is real

Sam was annoyed at how Alec winked back at him without fear. "Who the fuck does he think he is?" He muttered. "He is just a broke joke" Linda said with a sneer. Sam saw Alec talking to the waiter who bowed respectfully to him and scorned. "We'll have the champagne!" He said loudly to the waiter at their table, making Jeremy and Alec look up. He smirked. "And the prime rib." He added, his voice loud enough for Jeremy and Alec to hear. "What's his problem?" Jeremy asked. "Money." Alec replied instantly. Sam smirked deepened "And keep the wine flowing!" Jeremy groaned "That guy needs to shut up" "Or shut down" Alec said, then said to the waiter. "Let's start with the wine" He smiled.The waiter stood in a polite pose, waiting for Alec to order. "Red wine," Alec mentioned. He had heard a lot about red wines from the smug rich people, and now he was ready to buy one. "A fine bottle of red wine, please" Jeremy grinned. "Something rich. Full bodied, you know?" He demonstrated with

Linda narrowed her eyes at her boyfriend but didn't say a word. She didn't even know what to say, all she could think about was what Sam would need a cheap wine for. Soon, the waiter arrived with the wine, and for a second, Sam's eyes lit up. "Now..." He pointed to Alec's table, his eyes now hardened again. "You're gonna send it to that table""That...table??" The waiter asked carefully. "Yes. Alec's table." Sam confirmed firmly. "Tell him it's from Sam Thomas, and tell the poor little dick over there that 'this is not over'" The waiter blinked, his feet not moving an inch. "Tell him Sam Thomas said 'this is not fucking over'," He said again with a raspier tone. "He'll understand." The waiter hesitated but eventually went to the table to deliver the wine...and the message. "From Mr. Thomas over there" The waiter said sluggishly, feeling awkward. "He said....that..." He swallowed "That this is not over" Alec arched his brows. "I see" He stared at the wine, then clicked his tong

Thirty five million. The money rang in Alec's head, his eyes still glued to the phone's screen. "So?" Linda toyed with her hair, an evil grin playing on her lips. "You still wanna play?" Alec did not reply. "Listen, Alec, this is a game for the wealthy ones only, but I am allowing you to be a part of it, so you should count yourself lucky" Sam added. Alec's eyes flashed to him. "A game." "Yes. A game," A leer crept up his face. "Or are you scared now? You want the game off?" "No..." Alec's eyes went back to the mansion listing, then back at Sam's over confident face. His jaw tightened. "The game is on, Sam""Good. Good" Sam's evil laughter echoed in Alec's ears. "And you should know that you're lucky I was not in the mood to beat your ass up the other time" "Yeah, tell him" Linda said in her irritating tiny voice. Alec stood straight, his eyes dead serious, "No, Sam," He said, remembering how he should be careful with his new found powers. "You are lucky I don't wanna beat yo

Chad stood with arms folded across his chest like he owned the whole space, and his minions were there, standing behind him, idiotically copying his action. "Surprised to see me?" He smiled slyly. "Of course you are." "Yeah, I am" Alec responded casually. "'Cause last I checked you were thrown out a store for acting like an annoying little prick" Jeremy laughed loudly on purpose. "How dare you" Chad growled at Alec, leaning forward, his nose flaring, his hand grabbing the front of Alec's shirt. "You little piece of shit".Alec smiled at his reaction. "I was just talking about what happened, and I had thought you would disappear, but here you are, dragging my shirt like some pained asshole.""Shut up, poor brat. You know I don't stay gone for long." Some people in the restaurant saw what Chad was doing, but they chose to ignore that because it was Chad, the 'rich guy', rough handling Alec, the 'poor guy', and they didn't care about that 'poor guy'. "So, what do you want now?" Al
