It was the day of Finn's Final exam and Rapheal made sure he was waiting outside the gate the moment the exam ended.They were family members of other candidates waiting outside. All with hopeful eyes and heart crossed.He sighted Finn the moment he stepped out.Back slouched, and feet dragging on the ground."Did it go well?" He asked, gesturing for Finn to enter the car."I think so." Finn nodded slowly. "Shouldn't get anything less than a B.""Not bad." Rapheal commented, turning on the engine.They drove to a restaurant about twenty minutes away.Cody and Vicent were already there waiting, as they planned throwing a celebration.Finally the last person in their small group had completed his school leaving exam.It was truly worth celebrating."Shouldn't we atleast wait until the results are out?" Finn asked incredulously."Isn't it all the same?" Vicent replied without lifing his eyes. He looked through the menu and ordered for a hotpot for the four of them.They hadn't gone for a

Rapheal blinked in confusion, then went ahead to give a sincere reply. "I don't know.He got an invitation so he came."This is not a place for you to just walk." His answer probably pissed the older man who then furrowed his brow, displeasure written all over his face."I don't see what it has to do with you." Since there were dropping all facades, Rapheal didn't see the need to be polite. "You..." Noah was taken aback and was thus reminded of what Dante told him."I see. You have done very well in hiding your true self." He sneered, teeth rubbing hard against each other."What can I say?" Rapheal didn't dodge bjs eyes, staring right back at him as he said. "I learnt from the best."Noah felt both betrayed and played. So Rapheal had been watching him put on a one man show ever since? Just the thoughts alone irritated him to no ends.Voice dripping with venom, he threatened coldly. "Do you really think that I can't do anything to you? Believe me when I say it won't take much to deal

The next morning Rapheal woke up late.He had stayed up for the event until 2am in the morning and still didn't get enough sleep.Eyes drowsy, he walked into the kitchen with drowsy eyes. The coffee machine hummed softly as the coffee bean brewed and a soothing light scent spread in the kitchen. After about two minutes he poured it into a mug.Rapheal satisfied his sweeth tooth by adding enough sugar, then a top of whipped cream.Unable to resist, he took a taste sip. Smacking his lips at the delicious taste.The toaster chimed, and he took out the bread toast and laid them open on a clean plate.He spread some cheese, then added tuna, sliced tomato, onions, lettuce. Pressed a handful of ketchup in the mux and slapped the other toast on top.The filings were so many that it was almost spilling as he cut it diagonally into two halves. Breakfast ready.He carried the tray of food and his laptop to the living room.As he sat down he casually picked up the remote and turned on turned o

Dante was sitting in a private room of an exclusive bar.Other than him there were seven to eight men sitting around the table.If it was on normal days, before the Devereux family fell from it heights he would have been offered the head seat without even lifting a head.Now he sat at the very end, waiting to get the chance to speak in the small gathering where he could sense that he was low key being ostracized.Ever since Noah went to jail he once again realized how treacherous the world could be.The last time he felt like this was about five years ago, when he was still rolling in the dumps as a orphan with only himself to rely on.He had gotten so used to the luxury that he had almost forgotten how hard it could be.The people that used flocked around him, striving to gain even a glance from his side had now dispersed.Running away the moment they saw him as if he was some kind of plague.The ones who still stayed where those who were still trying to get something from the little

"let's schedule it for next time." Rapheal said to him "Please sir. Just ten minutes." The assistant pleaded with him. "Mr Collen is waiting in a cafe close by, it won't take long."Rapheal pursed his lip thoughtfully for some seconds before nodding his head. "Okay."He waved off the bodyguards who were already eyeing the unknown person who just jumped out of nowhere and followed after the assistant to the cafe. "Mr Rapheal. It is getting hard to see you lately." Mr Collen stood up from his seat, reaching out for a hand shake. There was a warm smile on his face and the attitude he showed him in their last meeting was no where to be seen."I have been busy." Rapheal remained polite. Putting on no air, he took a sit and waited for the other man to speak."First of all. I understand your animosity with the Devereux family but I need to ask. How far do you want to take it?" Mr Collen probed cautiously."I don't think we are close enough for you to ask such questions." Rapheal replied p
