The door creaked open as Tess stepped into the house, with the late afternoon light spilling in behind her, casting long, warm stripes across the wooden floor.

It should have been a return to peace, but instead, her heart was tight with something she couldn’t name yet. She just couldn't wait to get her hands on those papers to confirm who the liar had been all this time.

Ben was right behind her, putting down everything they purchased on the living room couch. To anyone else, they would’ve looked like a couple who had weathered a storm and survived it. His smile was relaxed, almost lazy, as he took in the living room like he belonged there like he had earned that place beside her.

“Tess,” Alexa, called softly, dropping her hand and picking up a medicine bottle from the centre table,

“Mom’s still resting, I'd have to wake her up and give this to her, she ought to have taken it an hour ago."

"Yes, sure," Tess nodded distractedly, her eyes already locked on the papers placed neatly on t

    The class went silent, all eyes staring down at Jace with eyes wide open. His words carried such weight that they pulled down their shoulders even though they were yet to confirm."You?" One of the students asked, breaking the silence and bursting into laughter."I love your confidence, but you don't even stand a chance to apply for it, haha!""Exactly!" Another student chimed in,"I don't even know why that bottle didn't hit you on the face, it should have broken that stupid mouth of yours... return to your seat and stay silent just like that scholarship rag that you are.""Oh?" Jace tilted his head slightly, letting the laughter and insults echo around him without even flinching, while the rich boy who had thrown the bottle was smirking like he’d just won a duel.[ Charisma at 1% activated! ]“Return to my seat?” Jace finally spoke up. His voice was soft but how he said it made the air feel colder and tense.He picked up the bottle and stepped forward slowly, closing the distance un

  • [56] You judge people based on their shoes

    The next day, Jace sat at the back of the classroom, quietly observing his new classmates. Despite the chaos of the previous day, being assaulted, made a secret acting president, and discovering he now shared a room with Jack, he still showed up early, composed and unreadable.He didn’t speak, nor did he draw attention to himself. Dressed in his usual simple shirt and jeans, there was no presidential glow, no trace of the influence he now held, he looked just like any other student.Around him, gossip and news spread like wildfire, and it was one thing they all talked about.“Did you hear the president officially stepped down?” a girl with glittering earrings whispered excitedly. “He is graduating soon, so the position is open to everyone."“I wonder who’s next?” another chimed in. “It’s got to be one of the seniors. Or maybe Jane, I wonder why she hasn't taken up that role yet, considering that her father owns the school... it would be very easy to get it done."“Ugh. Obviously,” s

  • [55] I'm going to hate it here

    The door to the dormitory clicked shut behind Jace, reducing the sounds of campus chatter coming from outside. The hallways were quieter on his way here, with sleek marble tiles, crystal-clear windows, and gold-plated numbers above each door. This wasn’t where scholarship students stayed. It was the elite block, where sons of governors and CEOs passed the time in silence, their air-conditioned rooms smelling of imported perfumes. As important as they may be, Tristan Coleman ensured that each student had a roommate, and the roommate doesn't have to be a close friend. This was to allow them to relate better with others without feeling too proud, and important. Surprisingly, it has been working fine so far. As Jace stood in front of room 7B, holding a slim keycard the president had handed him personally, his mind went back to the conversation he'd had with the president just moments ago. “We’re grooming leaders here, Jace,” the president had said. “You may be a fresh student, but

  • [54] Who is this guy

    The admin lady stood up abruptly, and her chair scraped loudly across the tiled floor. The sound cut through the room’s idle chatter and drew the attention of a few students nearby. “You’re… Jace Martin, right... Your passport matches your face, but are you sure it's you?” she asked again, her eyes widening. "Yes," Jace nodded, blinking with confusion. "Is there something wrong?” “No, no, there is nothing wrong at all. But you’re not supposed to be here. You’re… you're a special category student.” She quickly moved around the table and stood directly before him, her once fierce and audacious expression softened to something more respectful. "Special category?" Adan mumbled under his breath, puzzled. The woman gave a quick glance at the other admin staff, and they all appeared equally stunned. She handed the file back to Jace and said in a much calmer voice, “You’re to be attended to directly by the college president. I’ll… I’ll escort you halfway, he’ll complete your

    The grip on Jace’s collar tightened as the athletic boy towered over him, with rage burning in his eyes. It was clear from the start that he was either in a relationship with the girl in question or he potential love interest. “How dare you lay your filthy hands on her?” the boy growled, pulling Jace off his feet a few centimetres into the air. His strength was impressive, but Jace was unfazed. “I didn’t, you saw what she did...” Before Jace could finish, the boy punched Jace across the cheek, and the impact sent a jolt of pain down his spine. Gasps echoed around the hall as students watched from a distance. “Stop!” a student yelled, but no one dared intervene, not even the admin staff. It was almost as if they knew him and decided to avoid trouble. But, wasn't he a new student just like the others? Upon noticing all the attention she got, as well as defence from the hottest and most athletic new intake on campus, the girl clutched her wrist, her eyes gleaming with triumph. “

  • [52] First day in college

    "The first day of college," Jace muttered, taking a deep breath and inhaling the seemingly fresh scent of the new environment he found himself in.Jace has heard so much about Tristan Coleman's university, but everything he has seen is much better than anyone could describe.The prestigious institution was framed by polished glass buildings and well-manicured lawns.TC was the kind of place that shimmered with the promise of opportunity, not just because that's how the brochures made it look, but because the worst graduating student from this institution stands a better chance at getting employed in big companies than an average citizen.It's not just an academy, but a hierarchy built on wealth, the kind of wealth anyone can sense from afar. Tristan Coleman, the founder, is known as the wealthiest man in the state and the twentieth wealthiest in the world.But truly, not even the wealthiest man on earth was as rich as he is. So when a man like that builds an institution, it's pretty o
