“I didn’t do it. I swear it wasn’t me.”Summer cried on his knees, with blood dripping from every part of his body and his whole face aching from all the beating he had endured for the past five hours.Five whole hours of pure torture. He had endured hours of punches. His whole face was swollen, blood was coming out of his mouth, and every breath he took sent sharp aches through his ribs. All for something that he hadn’t even done. No matter how much he tried to explain that he hadn’t done it, they refused to listen to him.“Put him on the electric chair. Maybe then he will finally confess to stealing the five billion and tell us where to find it.”Five billion. That was how much they were accusing him of stealing. Summer had never even seen that much money in his whole twenty-seven years of life, but somehow, they managed to convince each other that he had stolen the money when all he had done was his job, which was only the paperwork to allow the huge sum of money to be transferred.

“Rise and shine, graduate!”Summer jolted awake at the sound of an unfamiliar voice.Graduate?What the hell was that supposed to mean? He had graduated five years ago, and as far as he remembered, no one had been with him on the day he graduated. Heck, he had gone straight from the night bar he worked at to the graduation ceremony.Unlike his coursemates, he had no one to cheer for him and bring him flowers, even though he had graduated at the top of his class.It had been one of the happiest yet saddest days of his life.That was five years ago, and besides, the last thing he remembered was dying…Wait!Summer opened his eyes, but the sudden brightness made him squeeze them shut again.His head throbbed faintly, and he shifted beneath the covers, expecting the familiar agony that had consumed his body before he died.Except, there was no pain.No restraints digging into his wrists. No burning sensation tearing through his muscles. No suffocating helmet covering his head.Just a soft

“You fell down the stairs. You were drunk.” Harry said, which made Summer even more confused. “But I don’t drink.” He argued, and for the first time, Harry stared at him as if he had lost his mind. “Yes, you drink! You have a whole bar filled with various brands of expensive alcohol. I think you really hurt your head when you fell. We will go to the hospital, but not today. We have to leave now. Your parents are already on their way to the restaurant.” Harry told him and hurriedly helped him fix his tie. Summer kept rethinking everything he knew was real and trying to make sense of his new reality. Walking out of the bedroom showed him a whole new side of his supposed apartment. It turned out that it wasn’t just the bedroom that was huge; every part of the apartment was. Harry hurried him out of the house so he couldn’t look around. Finding out that he not only had more than three cars in his parking lot but also had a personal driver was another experience that shocked Summer.

“Where is Dad right now?” Summer asked, his mother stared at him in confusion.“In the meeting discussing the investment. He said he would be joining us at your school.”His mother explained.“I need to call him. I need to stop him from investing in that business! It’s a fraud and if he doesn’t stop, he will lose a lot of money.” Summer told his mother as he turned to Harry who was standing not far away. He beckoned him over. “I need to speak to my father.” He told him. Harry understood and took his phone from him. He dialed the chairman’s number and handed it back to Summer.“What’s going on?” His mother asked. Summer turned to her and smiled. He had only just met her but he already liked her a lot.“Nothing to concern yourself with; I will fix it.” He assured her and hugged her again before excusing himself to speak to his father.“Son, are you calling to give me an earful for not being at breakfast? I am sorry; I had to finish a meeting. I will make it up to you.” For a long

“This is my school?”Summer asked as they pulled up in front of his old school, the same one he had graduated from five years ago in his past life.“Yes. Did you forget your school too?”Harry whispered back to him. Luckily, his mother was busy talking to someone on the phone.“Was I on a scholarship?”Summer asked, and Harry stared at him as if he had lost his mind.“Why would you be on a scholarship? Your father is Charles Montague! Your father gives out scholarships to people in your name. It’s been like that since you were born.”Harry revealed to Summer.So, it was the same school, but this time, he wasn’t on a scholarship.“Do I have any friends in this school? Anyone I am close to?”Harry nodded.“You have friends. You are closest to Diamond.”Summer’s eyes widened at the mention of a name he knew very well. A name he hadn’t heard in over five years, and it was all his fault. He was the one who had stopped trying to reach out to her, and when she did reach out to him, Summer ha

Summer couldn’t remember the last time he had been this happy.Actually, he couldn’t remember ever being this happy.His parents had been practically glued to him since the graduation ceremony ended, and he wasn’t complaining; if anything, he wished the day would never end.“Have you taken enough pictures, Mom?” Summer asked when his mother pulled out her phone again. They had taken professional pictures yet his mother still made it a point to take more with her phone.“One more, sweetheart. You can’t possibly expect me to let my son graduate without taking enough pictures to fill an entire album.” His mother responded, making him chuckle. He didn’t know how he had gotten so lucky.In his previous life, he had celebrated his graduation alone. He remembered sitting in a small restaurant, staring at the medal he had received while wondering what his life would have been like if he had someone to share the moment with.He had been so proud of himself that day, but the excitement had qu
