Chapter 1.

"Where do you think you are going?" A voice asked. 

Henry frowned as he stared at the figure in front of him. 

"I'm not staying any longer, I need to leave this place, I feel suffocated." Henry frowned as he looked at the man in front of him staring at him with disgust.

"The manager requested you to watch the award-giving ceremony before you leave." The voice frowned.

"Fine." Henry groaned as he walked back to his seat feeling rather defeated.

It was not as if he could go against the orders of his boss, so he could only sit down amidst the other employees watching the processing.

"And, the award for the Best Architectural Designer of the Month goes to Patrick Gonzalez." The loud voice of the Mc came and the clapping of the audience brought Henry out of his thoughts as he looked at the stage, his heart broken.

This wasn't the first time this was happening. That award was supposed to be his, but no, it had been passed to his boss instead.

He was an employee of Nexus Architects and was very good at his job, but then no one recognized him, all his designs turned out to be his boss's and he'd end up taking the credit for it.

This had been like this for five years, no matter how much he had tried to change it, nothing changed, and his boss continued to exploit it. The few higher-ups of the company who knew about this were all tight-lipped and wouldn't say a thing and thus Henry had already accepted his fate.

But then this was too much, this wasn't the first time, nor the second time this would be happening, his lay was not good and sometimes would be deducted or withheld by his boss saying he didn't do well enough.

Henry sighed as he watched as his boss received the award with a smile on his face. He was just too heartbroken. This shouldn't be happening to him.

Ring! Ring!

Just then, his phone rang which made him frown rather slightly as he brought it out. Looking at it, he saw it was his girlfriend, Abigail Parker.

"Come meet me outside." A cold voice came from the other end immediately after he picked up the call.

Immediately, Henry stood up abruptly as he dashed outside the hall. He could care less about anything as he loved his girlfriend.

"And why are you just coming, you kept me waiting for too long." Abigail sneered as he looked at Henry with disgust.

"I'm sorry, babe, but I rushed over immediately after you called." Henry panted as he replied.

"Whatever!" Abigail snorted coldly as she stretched out her hands giving Henry something.

"What's that?" Henry frowned as he collected the ring.

"Have you suddenly gone blind or don't you see that I'm returning what you gave me?" Abigail snorted coldly.

"You can't do this to me." Henry frowned as he raised his head to look at Abigail, his eyes bloodshot.

"Can't do what to you?" Abigail sneered as she stared at Henry.

"But, I thought you loved me." Henry frowned as he looked at Abigail.

"Loved you? Huh?" Abigail sneered, "Do you even hear yourself?"

"Do you think I would love trash like you? You're barely able to provide for me and yet you speak about love."

"But I've been working hard to provide for you." Henry sighed as he tried to argue.

"Provide for me Huh?" Abigail sneered.

"When was the last time you bought something worth five hundred Dollars for me? Huh?"

"You keep saying you are working hard, yet, you're wallowing in misery, I'll advise you to stop working at all as you're doomed to wallow in misery for all your life." Abigail sneered as she walked away.

"But..."

"We both are now strangers, so I'll call the police on you if you try to talk to me." Abigail sneered coldly as she Interrupted Henry.

At that moment, all the last bit of hope in Henry's heart was gone. He couldn't believe his ears. The one whom he loved the most was leaving, why the hell was this happening to him?

First, his rightful award was taken away from him, then his girlfriend broke up with him. No this shouldn't be happening.

Heartbroken, Henry walked back into the hall more like a zombie as he couldn't think about anything. His eyes were already bloodshot and he couldn't think clearly.

"We'll be pleased to inform you that Patrick Gonzalez is getting engaged to his beloved girlfriend, Abigail Parker." A loud voice resounded throughout the hall snapping Henry out of his thoughts.

"Huh?"

Henry froze as he couldn't understand what was happening. Who was engaging whom? His mind was in a complete mess at the moment. This shouldn't be happening, right?

"We'd like to invite the lucky girl, Abigail Parker on stage, to accept the token of love from her beloved boyfriend." The voice came again, snapping Henry out of his thoughts.

Henry watched, as Abigail walked up onto the stage with a smile on her face towards Patrick.

"No, this isn't right, that's my girlfriend!!!" Henry suddenly yelled as he stood up from where he was sitting and rushed forward to the stage.

"Huh?"

The crowd gasped as they couldn't believe their eyes watching Henry rush up to the stage. It. Some couldn't help but feel Pity towards him, while some sneered at him saying he was a toad who wanted to eat Swan meat.

"I'm sorry, but it seems like we have a problem here." The man who had announced the engagement chuckled as he looked at Henry who was rushing up to the stage.

"There's no problem, that girl is my girlfriend not his, besides, that award is rightfully mine, but he's despicable and stole them!" Henry yelled as though he'd lost his mind.

"And now that's hilarious." The man chuckled.

"Shut the hell up, nothing is hilarious, everything belonging to him was rightfully mine, but he stole them all," Henry yelled.

He'd finally lost it all and couldn't take it anymore. No, he had enough, besides, he couldn't believe his girlfriend was leaving him for his boss. His boss was a player and yet she believed that he wanted to get married to her. Wasn't she dreaming?

"Abigail, are you going to do this to me?" Henry frowned as he looked at Abigail.

"And who are you?" Abigail frowned as she stared at Henry.

"Huh?" Henry froze as he couldn't believe his ears. Was she going to leave him just like that?

No, that shouldn't be happening. It shouldn't be, he had to do something. 

"Abigail, are you serious, think about all the precious moments we had together?" Henry frowned as his eyes were bloodshot, his voice going hoarse.

"Get the hell out of my front you stinking brat," Abigail yelled.

"I don't know you, so don't try to come and destroy my happy moments with my boyfriend." She continued.

"No, you can't do this to me!" Henry yelled, his voice cracking as he couldn't believe his eyes.

Abigail was his world, he had worked so hard to satisfy her, but he couldn't believe what was happening. She was leaving him for someone else. Didn't she promise not to leave him?

Something had to be wrong and he had to get to the bottom of it, there was no way he was going to leave her."

"Well, enough is enough, stop playing and get the fucking hell out of the stage." Patrick who was by the side sneered.

"You..." Henry gritted his teeth as he stared at Patrick, the hatred in his eyes was evident.

"You'll not go scott free," Henry yelled as he rushed towards Patrick.

"Guards, throw this piece of trash and don't ever allow him near the company again, or else, you'll all lose your Jobs." Patrick frowned as he commanded.

Immediately, the two guards who were standing not too far away moved and caught Henry who was struggling endlessly.

"Leave me alone, let me deal with this scum of a human," Henry yelled as he struggled against the grip of the guards.

"Throw him out," Patrick ordered coldly.

"Yes sir." The guards modded and dragged Henry out of the hall.

Henry landed on the hard floor with his head and watched as the guards walked back into the hall.

Looking at the huge company in front of him, the hatred in his eyes intensified.

His clothes were already battered due to the struggle, besides, they were all old and worn out so it looked as though it was going to tear any time soon.

Standing up, Henry sighed as he shook his head, his eyes were still bloodshot. Well, this was the order of life, if you didn't have money or power, you're doomed to be looked down upon.

Ring! Ring!

Just then, his phone rang making him frown as he brought out the phone.
