“But I guess that number isn’t very impressive... Compared to the number of relationships you’ve been in.”For a moment, the courtyard went completely silent.Benjamin’s voice had been calm when he said it. There was no anger in his tone, no raised voice, no dramatic gesture. He simply just stated it and that made the words land even harder.Rose stood frozen in front of him. Her face slowly stiffened as she processed what he had just said.Around them, several students stared.Then someone suddenly let out a small snort.Another student covered their mouth. And within seconds, the reaction spread. Laughter broke out across the courtyard. While some students tried to hold it in but failed miserably. Others openly laughed without even pretending to hide it. Even a few people who had been walking past earlier had stopped completely.Everyone understood what Benjamin meant. His words had been sharp but precise. The video circulating online had gathered over four million engagements alre

Morning had already settled fully over Memoville Academy.From the outside, the administrative building looked calm and dignified. Tall glass windows reflected the bright sky above the campus while the trimmed hedges around the entrance gave the place a quiet, prestigious appearance.Inside, however, the atmosphere was less peaceful.On the top floor of the building sat the office of the school’s vice president.The room was large and carefully arranged. A polished wooden desk stood near the windows, while several tall bookshelves lined the walls. Certificates, plaques, and framed photographs decorated the space, each representing years of academic achievements and institutional pride.Behind the desk sat President Harold Whitmore. Harold was a man in his late fifties with neatly combed grey hair and thin reading glasses resting low on his nose. His posture was straight as he reviewed a stack of documents placed neatly in front of him.The morning had been routine so far. Emails, adm

“If it isn’t the attention seeker.”Rose’s voice carried across the courtyard clearly.Students nearby slowed down again. Some who had been pretending not to watch suddenly became very interested in the situation.Benjamin turned fully toward her.For a brief moment he simply looked at her.His expression did not change much. If anything, it only showed mild confusion.“…I’m sorry, what?” Benjamin asked.Rose scoffed immediately.The sound was sharp and full of ridicule.“Typical,” she said, shaking her head slowly. “Benjamin worthless Lawson.”She paused for half a second before placing a hand lightly against her chest as if she had just remembered something important.“Oh, sorry!” she added with fake realization. “I forgot.”Her lips curved into a mocking smile.“You’re the adopted son.”The two girls standing behind her burst into laughter almost instantly.They did not even try to hide it.One of them covered her mouth dramatically while the other openly looked Benjamin up and dow

“Dude, you’ve been trending.”Benjamin stared at Elise.For a moment he did not react at all.The words simply hung in the air between them as the noise of the courtyard carried on around them. “Eh… What?” he asked slowly.Elise exhaled through her nose like she was trying very hard not to lose her patience.“I said,” she repeated, pointing at him slightly, “you’ve been trending.”Benjamin blinked again.That did not help clarify anything.“Trending where?” he asked.Elise opened her mouth to answer.But before she could say anything else, someone suddenly rushed toward them from the side.“Benjamin!”Both Benjamin and Elise turned.A boy from their class approached quickly. Benjamin recognized his face immediately. They shared two lectures together, although they had never really spoken before.The guy looked excited.Actually, excited was an understatement.His eyes were practically shining.“Dude!” the boy said as he stopped in front of Benjamin. “You’re my hero now.”Benjamin fro

The next day arrived quietly.Morning light slipped through the curtains of Benjamin’s suite, spreading across the polished floor and creeping slowly toward the bed. The room itself was silent except for the faint hum of the city beyond the windows.Benjamin stirred slightly beneath the blankets.For a moment he did not move.Then his hand shifted toward the bedside table where his phone lay face down.The device vibrated again.And again.A low, continuous buzz broke the stillness of the room.Benjamin frowned slightly in his sleep before finally opening his eyes.He blinked once, adjusting to the light.His body felt heavy.The previous night had stretched much longer than he had anticipated. Between the dinner with Martha, the long review of documents, and the mental strain of everything that had happened in the past few days, he had not realized how late it had become before finally collapsing into bed.He reached for his phone.The screen lit up instantly.Dozens of notifications

“Pass these investment proposals over to the boss. I will go over the rest.”Ainsley stopped in her tracks and was about to reach out to get the documents when it suddenly struck her.The boss?She paused halfway. Surely she hadn't just misheard her employer, right? She thought to herself as one of the qualities of Ms. Mathews she had come to learn about in the few months she had been interning at the company was her being absolutely clear about whatever she said.She smiled faintly, then briefly gathered the documents and was about to head over to the other end of the table when she suddenly slowed down in her steps.That young man across the table was the ‘boss’ Martha just mentioned? How then was he so strikingly familiar? she thought to herself.More importantly, that face.She thought as she walked closer.She knew that face.On the other hand, it was only as he heard Martha refer to the young lady as Ainsley that Benjamin, who had been contemplating her exact identity, finally r
