Daven pursed his lips, his eyes gluing down on Dayna and Chris but then they eventually settled on her and they narrowed by the second.

For the first time, he decided to entertain their scorn.

“Do you think you belong here too, Dayna?” He asked.

“Of course…” She chuckled, her hand fanning her face as if she were a goddess just descended on earth. “I got in fair and square, unlike you…”

“Using your family connections, I suppose?” He raised a brow at her. Although his situation wasn't that much different from hers, he didn't go around shaming others.

“Is there anything else you can brag of?”

“What…what do you mean? Are you implying I have no brain whatsoever?” She snapped.

“Bingo!” Daven snapped his fingers. “At least, you can think that far with that puny organ of yours.”

“Daven! That’s enough!” Chris cut in, his eyes flaming with a burning fury. “You have done nothing but cause numerous disputes and problems, ever since you appeared!”

“And now you dare to insult Dayna?”

“Why? Ca

  • You Don’t Belong Here

    The air around the dining area was tense, with cutlery clanking on plates, the sound grating to the ears. Elena had her head buried in her plate and Ari couldn't stop glaring at Maya who kept wolfing down her food like a hungry dog.And Daven? He felt his heart weighing heavily with a ton of bricks and regret. He wanted to come back and enjoy a home-cooked meal but then, he let his plan to interfere. Now, the happy atmosphere he came back to was ruined and he had to keep seeing Maya's face."Daven, eat this." Maya excitedly dropped a slice of steak on his plate while sucking on her fork, like a child.But Ari hated the sight and he felt bad for his friend, Elena."Why are you back here, Maya?" He dropped his cutlery, the clanking sound causing everyone to wince. "You left Daven for Gerald and now you are back for what? To suck him dry of his money?"Maya didn't explode in anger like Ari had expected, after all, she had to do everything to stay but she couldn't keep her greedy side awa

  • Hostile Wind

    Daven drove back to his house while giving his teacher a call. He finally agreed to accompany him to the West mansion, after all, that was what the old man wanted. However, this was part of his carefully laid out plan. He was going to strike Gerald where it was hot. “Foolish boy,” He chuckled. “It seems your mummy didn't tell you what went on at the mansion.”If Gerald had known that the West patriarch had offered to take Daven as his new grandson, he would have gone bonkers and Daven was going to do just that. Make Gerald go crazy. “Good.” Doctor Blackman had agreed readily. “We are going to visit the patriarch at the end of this week. However, you have something else to worry about.”“Is it about the disciplinary action against me?” Daven asked, his tone without a hint of worry. “Yes. Aren't you afraid?” Blackman asked. “You know what is at stake here. If you get punished, then you wouldn't be able to achieve your dream.”“Although I can help you get out of this situation. It is

  • Using Family

    The chatters died down, the laughter seizing as James King looked up to see his son standing at the door. His smile faltered and his gaze turned stern.“What are you doing here, Daven? You didn't want anything to do with your family, did you?” James sneered. “I got a call…” Daven replied. “I thought something had happened to you—”“What do you think happened?” James hissed, his gaze sharp. “Are you hoping I go back to the hospital? Look at me, I am well.” “I didn't call you and neither did Arya. Don’t lie to my face, Daven.” James King was increasingly getting annoyed with his son and even though he had been hurt when Daven cut all contact with them, he wasn't now. After all, they had a steady supply of money now, and seeing Daven wasn't his priority. “So, brother. Why are you here? Father didn't give you a call. Did you hear about the party we are having without you?” Arya stepped forward, folding her arms like a princess. “Are you jealous we are doing this without you?” “Look,

  • Homemade Food

    “You really own this place?” Elena had to ask, as she beheld the beautiful ambiance of the house. It was a very comfortable place for a student to stay in, but of course, she was going to question this reality. “Yes.” Daven nodded.“How?” She raised her brow. As far as she knew, she knew he wasn't a rich guy. Or did he lie to Ari all this time?Daven scratched his head and Ari looked away quickly because he had no answer either. But she continued to probe, “How did you get all this money to get a house and then a car? I know it’s not in my place to ask, but I will be living here for a while. I need to know if we are all safe.”“Yes.” Daven nodded, his eyes holding her gaze to reassure her. “I assure you, I do not engage in any form of fraud and I pay my taxes regularly. You don’t need to worry.”Elena pursed her lips, her eyes intently searching his. Daven was a reliable man, she knew that but she could never know what was in his heart. However, she decided to trust him. “It’s good

  • A Harsh Slap To The Face

    “Of course, I do. Don’t you want to become affiliated with me?” The old man asked, staring keenly at Daven. “I would love to.” Daven didn't dare say otherwise, but still, he wasn't about to throw his pride away. “However, I may have to decline your kind gesture. Thank you so much for holding me in such high esteem.”Old man West went calm and instead of being offended, he was very pleased and proud of how principled Daven was. He realized the young man was reliable and he was even more determined to keep their relationship longer. “I understand you.” Old Man West nodded. “However, if you need anything at all, in this country. Do not hesitate to reach out to me.”“I appreciate your kind gesture.” Daven broke into a genuine smile and bowed slightly. He felt the old man was really wise and the secret of his system ability would be kept a secret. Soon, he was led out of the mansion and as he stepped out, he saw an alert of $20 million! A smile broke out on his face seeing that the old
