Rise Of The Student Billionaire

It was around seven o'clock pm at Elysian University. The night had a festive air, with students enjoying themselves all around. Meanwhile, as the students enjoyed themselves, in the quiet Elysian library sat Benjamin Hayes, a young student with a book in his hands, deeply engrossed in reading. Despite his handsome appearance, Benjamin's clothes could tell from a first glance that he was poor. The truth is the 24 yr old student was an average student, juggling various jobs to make ends meet. At times, he would run errands for wealthier students just to earn a few extra bucks, and this made him one of the most looked-down-on students on campus. Suddenly, a loud noise echoed through the campus, shattering Benjamin's peaceful reading. He closed his book with a frown and rose from his seat. Since the library was on an upper floor, he approached the glass window to see what the commotion was about. "Huh!"The sight that met his eyes was astonishing. More than a hundred college students h

Dorothy frowned, about to reply, but her words were cut short by Maverick's interruption. He slung an arm around her neck, planting a kiss on her cheeks. "Don't worry about talking too much Dorothy. Let me handle this," he assured.Dorothy smiled in agreement, nodding. Maverick took a step forward, addressing Benjamin sharply. "Benjamin Hayes, I didn't catch what you said. Repeat it."Benjamin's lips curled into a sneer. "Ask her then. I don't have time to repeat myself." A brief furrow of Maverick's brow revealed his irritation. "Fine, forget it. You want your $1000 back that you lent her?""You heard it clearly, so why are you asking again?" Benjamin retorted, his tone laced with impatience.Maverick's patience was waning, but he maintained his composure. "You claim she owes you. First of all, are you a loan officer? Secondly do you have any evidence to prove that Dorothy owes you?""Mind your own business. Who are you, and what do you know? Where were you when she asked for the m

The words hit Benjamin like a tidal wave, leaving him stunned and breathless. His classmates' jeers only added salt to the wound."Expelled? Good riddance!"Maybe now he'll learn some manners."Desperation etched across Benjamin's face, he implored, "Please, Mrs. Ann, I understand I was late, but we have a test coming up. If I miss this class, I'll fail."But Mrs. Ann remained unmoved, her expression stern. "I've made my decision, Benjamin. You've disrupted this class enough.""Mrs. Ann, please, I beg you. I can't afford to fail this test. I'll do anything to make up for being late."Mrs. Ann's stern demeanor remained unchanged. "Your actions have consequences, Benjamin. I've made my decision."His voice trembling, Benjamin continued, "I promise I'll never be late again. Just give me this chance, please."But Mrs. Ann's expression remained resolute. "Leave this class, Benjamin."Seeing his pleas fall on deaf ears, Benjamin's desperation surged. "Please, Madam Ann, I'll do anything. I'

Uhm, Benjamin scratched his head, uncertain of how to respond.Madam Evelyn gestured beside her and said, "Sit down.Benjamin nodded and took a seat. Evelyn looked at him with a warm smile and inquired, "What's your name?""I'm Benjamin, mom," he replied. A joyful expression spread across the woman's face. The name Benjamin seemed to remember her of something, but apart from that, another thing made her smile. "What... did you just say?" She asked. "I meant my name is Benjamin," he clarified. Evelyn shook her head, her eyes glistening with emotion. "No, the word you mentioned after your name." "Mom?" Benjamin repeated. Evelyn nodded, her smile now tinged with tears as she wiped her eyes. She looked at Benjamin and shared, "You know, i also have a son named Benjamin and if was to be around, he would have been like you by now. It's been years since I heard the word, 'mom' addressed to me."Benjamin nodded, understanding her sentiment. He then inquired, "What happened to your son?

"Boom!" The revelation hit Benjamin like a tidal wave, shaking him to his core."Wha... what are you saying?" Benjamin stammered, his mind struggling to process it all.Evelyn reached out to hold his hand, but he pulled back, his confusion evident. "Benjamin, I'm your mom, you're the lost son I was talking about."Benjamin shook his head in disbelief. "No, no, what's going on? Didn't you bring me here because Mr. Ezra nearly hit me? Are you trying to sympathize with me by saying this? Explain."Evelyn moved to pour a glass of wine and handed it to him. "Drink this, son."Benjamin shook his head and said, "I don't need this, I need explanation."Evelyn nodded and said, "I know and I will explain everything that made me know that you are my son to you. Drink this and calm down."Benjamin hesitated, then took the glass, drinking it down in one go. "I'm done now, say it, please."Evelyn nodded, her gaze steady. She began to recount her years-long search for her lost son, visiting orphanag
