The Cross were destroyed
When I opened my eyes, the world was soaked in gold.The curtains were drawn open, and sunlight poured through the spotless glass, glowing haze. For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling of the presidential suite. Yesterday had been madness — a blur of blood, fear, power, and Clara. The rollercoaster hadn’t stopped until I fell asleep, half-dazed, in a room that looked like it belonged to a movie star.Now, it was real.The golden light, the soft hum of the air conditioner, the faint smell of fresh linen — all of it reminded me: I wasn’t dreaming.I pushed myself up, rubbing my eyes, and looked at the clock on the wall. Eleven. Damn. I hadn’t slept this late in years.After a quick stretch, I slipped out of bed and opened the door to the living room.Clara was there — seated elegantly on the sofa, phone pressed to her ear. She had changed into a white pleated skirt and a matching blouse that framed her slender waist. The sunlight caught on her skin, making her look almos
Can you afford her?
There was only one reason those four powers would go so far, so fast.And I didn’t need Clara to explain it.“They’re trying to please you, sir.”Her voice was calm, matter-of-fact, but the weight behind it was terrifying. She looked at me with those clear eyes of hers and continued, “The Cole Group intends to invest in Miami. This opportunity is something all four families desperately want. After what happened last night, even though they don’t know who you really are, they’ve figured out one thing—you matter. You’re someone they can’t afford to offend.” I didn’t respond immediately. My mind replayed her words slowly. Please me?I almost laughed.I’d spent years being the one who got ignored, the one who was looked down on for not having enough. Now, people with fortunes in the hundreds of millions were breaking families apart just to curry favor with me.The power of the Cole Group was beyond terrifying. I finally understood why Clara spoke about it with such composure—because in t
The Farewell Party!
Hearing my words, Mario only got more dramatic. He sighed heavily and muttered, “You really didn’t have to,” before turning to glare at Alora, who didn’t even flinch. She’d already grabbed his phone and was happily scrolling through shopping apps like she owned the damn thing.Mario rubbed his temples, defeated. “Forget it,” he said finally, then turned back to me. “Anyway, there’s a party tonight. You showing up?”Back then, when I was broke, parties like that were off-limits. I couldn’t even afford a proper meal at the cafeteria—what business did I have wasting money on booze and loud music? But now… things were different. The thought made me smile. This wasn’t just any party; it was our pre-graduation gathering. It would be awkward not to go.And besides, I wasn’t the same Ethan anymore.There were fifteen million sitting quietly in my bank account.“I’ll go,” I said with an easy grin.The bell rang. The chatter quieted down. We all waited for Ms. Summers, but she never came. After
Can you pay for us?
Gideon’s words caught me off guard for a moment.The premier room? What could possibly be so special about it? It was just a room.Seeing me pause, Gideon let out a low snicker and lifted his chin like a peacock showing off its feathers.“The premier rooms at Valente Ground start at three thousand dollars, minimum,” he said, his tone dripping with arrogance. “Since there are so many of us, that’ll be around twelve grand. I’m obviously not short of money…” — he paused, his eyes narrowing on me — “but are you worth it?”His words earned him a round of laughter from his lackeys.Kendry Thorne, his shadow and number one cheerleader, stepped up instantly. “Yeah, Gideon’s treating us all to dinner. Why are you trying to make him pay for a premier room? You that greedy? Trying to take advantage of him, huh?”The others followed like vultures who smelled blood.“I knew he was broke, but to think he’d also be greedy.”“Typical leech behavior. Always feeding off other people.”“You want Gideon
They're waiting for me
“Don’t worry, Gideon.” Kenny nodded, his grin slimy and eager. Then his voice dropped into something more cautious. “You aren’t really planning on splitting the bill with Ethan, right? Do you have enough cash to cover the entire room?”Gideon snorted. “It’s just a premier room. You think I can’t afford a few of those?” He puffed his chest out like a rooster, but even from behind, I could see the tension in his shoulders. He was bluffing, and the thought of me agreeing to split the bill had clearly thrown him off.Still, pride is a dangerous drug. He wouldn’t let anyone see the sting. “That arrogant loser dared to go against me,” he muttered through clenched teeth. “When the bill comes, I’ll make sure he’s destroyed. He’ll regret even opening his mouth.”“You’re so cool!” Kenny said immediately, his tone dripping with flattery. “Eden will definitely be impressed. Maybe you’ll get lucky with her tonight.”Gideon chuckled darkly. “Why do you think I spent so much money on the premier roo
A man with power
As Eden spoke, she took a few careful steps toward me, her voice trembling yet desperate.Behind her, the man’s face twisted with drunken impatience.“I don’t give a fk about your party!” he roared, lunging forward. “I must fuck you today!”He grabbed her arm roughly, pulling her back against him. Then his bloodshot eyes turned to me.“Kid,” he spat, his voice dripping with menace. “Fuck off. If you f****g mess with me, I’ll—”He froze.His entire body went rigid, the words dying in his throat. His pupils shrank, his expression morphing from rage to terror.He blinked twice. His breathing turned shallow. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, dripping down in trembling streaks.“Mr… Mr. Cole?!” he stammered.The silence that followed was almost deafening.Eden blinked, confused. “Mr. Cole?” she repeated under her breath, looking from him to me.Before she could say another word, the man released her as if she were on fire. He staggered back and bent at a ninety-degree angle, his enti
Go Naughty
Apart from Mario and me, everyone seated at the head table was one of Gideon’s cronies.We sat around a large circular table. I ended up directly across from Gideon.The seat to his left was left conspicuously empty. Everyone knew who it was reserved for Eden, the girl Gideon had been flaunting around all semester like a trophy.On my side, the seat next to me was also empty. The reason was just as obvious no one besides Mario had the guts or willingness to sit beside me. It wasn’t subtle either. Their glances, their whispers, their smug little smirks all screamed the same thing — you don’t belong here.Kenny, Gideon’s lapdog and self-proclaimed “comedian” of the group, sauntered toward the empty chair beside me. He made a show of it by pulling the chair halfway out, pretending like he was about to sit down, then froze mid-motion as if he’d suddenly noticed I existed.His expression morphed from fake surprise to exaggerated disgust.“Oh hell no,” he muttered loud enough for everyone t
she was so naughty
After she finished speaking, she lifted her gaze to mine. Her eyes were glistening, full of something mischievous, and when our eyes met, she blushed and giggled. There was no mistaking it—Eden was flirting with me. Strange, considering we were never close. In the past, we were nothing more than classmates who barely exchanged a greeting. No friendship. No shared memories. Just two people who existed in the same room. So her sudden warmth… wasn’t from nostalgia. No—this was about one thing: money. I had seen the way her eyes changed earlier in the hallway when Gideon knelt. That moment told her everything she needed to know—who had the real power. And Eden, a girl who drifted from one rich boyfriend to the next, dreaming of marrying into luxury, had instantly recalibrated her target. I didn’t blame her. But I wasn’t going to be stupid, either. I had no reason to push her away, but I wasn’t planning on pulling her close. Eden was not the kind of woman I wanted to invest my
this is the reality
Eden’s sudden actions startled me, but I’d be lying if I said they weren’t thrilling. The risk, the secrecy, the fact that we were surrounded by nearly forty people—it sent a strange jolt through me. I took a silent sip of wine and placed the glass back on the table. Beside me, Eden stole a quick glance at me, then turned away as if nothing happened. Her lips curved into a small, teasing smile. Under the table, hidden by the long cloth, her hand continued its sinful exploration. Her fingers pressed and stroked along my inner thigh, rubbing through the thin fabric of my pants. Her hand was soft—cold at first, then warm from the friction. Each slow movement was deliberate. Seeing we weren’t speaking anymore, Gideon finally relaxed. His shoulders eased, though he still shot me occasional hateful looks. Then, in an attempt to redirect the room, he raised his voice. “Guys, we’re about to graduate. Any plans for the future?” The table instantly warmed up. “I’m go
A total Simp
The room once against erupted into laughter. Full of ridicules Gideon turned to look at me. Gideon was trying to get under my skin. But I had no time pay him any mind. Eden's movement were becoming increasingly rapid. Waves of pleasure slammed into me, plunging me deeper into the chasm of ectasy. The pace increased, and I desperately tried to keep my expression neutral, trying to pretend I was not getting a hand job from one of the most sought after women of my college. Mario, who was sitting next to me, realized thst something was not quiet right. Concluding that Gideon's and others ridiculed had bothered me, he patted my shoulders and consoled, muttering bitterly, " Ethan, don't let those idiots get to you." With a forced smile, I managed to to squeeze out one word. "Ok." It was getting harder to just not flip the table off and lose myself to pleasure; I did not dare to say more. Seeing my grimace ad how tight my voice sounded Mario glared at Gideon and others. "Gideon, that'
