REBORN WITH A REVENGE SYSTEM

“Hello Mr Scott, Your father is in a critical condition right now!. Your presence is needed immediately”

“Did you say critical condition?. he's dead” a voice behind the call muttered.

“What! 

Who the f*ck are you and What the hell are you talking about?".

“I'm the receptionist of a Local Estate, owned by your father. And your attention is needed.”

“My father?

I can't believe what you’re saying. What happened?

“I have no idea sir!”

“But a man was seen, dumping his dead corpse with a black car”

the voice said as he ended the call.

Scott’s fingers trembled over the phone as he pulled his back against the wall. His face looked pale instantly. 

Before he could get back into his senses, his phone  buzzed, already slipping away his palm.  

He glanced through the screen but couldn’t recognize the caller, it was anonymous. he answered immediately

“You’re next!”

“You have a very short time to pay back all your father owed, and bring back the secret files or consider yourself dead as him too.”

“My next move will be deadly and your whole family isn’t excluded”.

“You all will suffer till you’re wiped away” a deep frantic voice whispered in a cold voice as he ended the call.

Scott didn’t utter a word out of confusion and fear as he stood with his legs shaking in the midst of a crowd.

‘My father is a debtor?’

‘No!. that can never be possible. Something must be wrong’ he whispered silently, looking  malnourished and drastically weak.

      ***************************************

The night was perfect at first, as joy leapt in the hearts of the final-year students of Cape Town University.

Their graduation was the next day, and everyone was celebrating at a student night party when Scott, a 27 year old  final-year student received an emergency phone call.

Scott was the only son of his parents. He had been struggling in his academics coming from a poor family background, which was his major challenge.

He mostly works as a janitor secretly at night after school hours, sneaking out of the school premises without anyone’s notice.

Running errands for rich and wealthy men just to earn some little bucks for himself.

On the other hand, his parents were into a local mini-estate business, but it was nowhere near to the expectation as the business collapsed and fell unconditionally.

When his parents couldn't provide for him, paid his school bills. There was no other option left. He had to do it. This made him slack back in his study greatly, failing virtually most important courses. As a result he became a mockery status.

Additionally, he had planned on settling down with his childhood sweetheart after his graduation and continue working a way out for himself. Life has a way of treating everyone.

He had planned his marriage ceremony for the next day, the same day as his graduation so he could have a double celebration. He had even made all the necessary arrangements with his father and his lovely fiancée.

Yet… all of a sudden and without any warning, he received the tragic news of his father's passing.

It was devastating and unacceptable.

Scott found the news too difficult to believe, so he tried leaving immediately, but it was already late at night.

Moreover, he was living a hundred miles east of Cape City, and even worse, no one was allowed to leave the school premises at night for security reasons. So Scott could only stay back and wait for the night to pass

Throughout the night, Scott was restless. The image of his father appeared each time he blinked. He sweated profusely as he stood by the window, staring at the sky. The chance of him getting married became very slim that he couldn’t accept till it was declared.

Early the next morning, Scott began his trip back home as fast as he could, without anyone’s notice. When he arrived, he looked drastically tired and weak.

He searched through the house but couldn’t find his mom or his fiancée. He busted into the living room and saw two people already seated facing him.

His mother-in-law  Mrs Rose, a 52-year-old woman, and her 24-year-old son Smith were sitting in the living room when he entered.

“Where is my father?”, “What happened?” he demanded.

“Do we look like your father’s keeper? You malnourished fool”

Scott paused for a second. He didn’t believe what he heard from his mother-in-law and son.

Immediately he felt a shift. He smelled something was wrong.

“Me a fool?” he muttered.

Mrs Rose sigh disrupting the room's silence, in response to his question.

“He had been buried a few hours ago. Your mom went out , and your fiancée too. But this is your fiancée's address" Mrs Ross echoed her voice.

She handed him a card with an address.

Scott paused, unable to react for a second.

‘Buried? Went out? Address?’ he was completely taken back.

Then he shook his head hard, focusing his gaze back on Rose.

"I don't get you?” he blurted out, sounding both earnest and filled with disbelief. “You…buried my father without my consent, how?”

Scott felt as though his world was turning upside down.

"I also can't find my mom nor my fiancée. What's really going…”

But before he could finish…

"You better keep quiet right now, and get your f*cking ass out of here” Mrs Rose snapped, her voice loud, ruthless, and aggressive. “You unfortunate Fool asking me questions!”

Scott’s jaw dropped.

"What?”

“You heard me clearly, Scott . It's the right time you poor bastard and your dying family stop dragging my daughter down. Scott stood looking at her with his hand folded in his pocket, bending his head down in confusion.

“But I have done nothing wrong to deserve this”.

“I'm in love with Lucy and we're getting married” Scott muttered, as he lift his face up.

“She's getting married soon to a millionaire, who can protect her and my family's interests. Someone who can speak and your useless family will bow. I can't hand over my daughter to a trash like you, Scott. That's an indirect slave trade” 

Smith exhaled. he applauded hearing her Mom's statement. The room became a living hell for Scott instantly. sweat ran down his forehead.

“You're right mom. That's an indirect slave trade and my real in-law won't he happy with such decisions. Allowing a beautiful queen to stay with this vampire”

Scott gasped, his eyes became red as he moved to approach Smith.

“Enough of this” he yelled. He felt like a ghost, a statue of mockery.

Smith try to make more fun of him this time as he stood and confronted Scott.

“Just become our personal house help. you're good in picking up trash. And you'll be receiving as huge as $1”

Without uttering any other word, Scott turned his back against them in silence as he entered his old low budget car and drove away 

A few minutes later, he arrived at the location on the card, expecting to see both his mom, fiancee, and his father’s burial.

When he reached the house gate, Scott was surprised by the structure of the house. The exterior was really wonderful. 

“But this cant be a cemetery. Why then i’m i directed here” he whispered to himself slowly.

He then stood right in front of the gate like a man in the state of oblivion…

As Scott proceeded to enter, the guards stopped him right at the gate.

“Who are you looking for? One of the guard asked.

“I’m looking for my fiancée. I got an address. She's here.

“No!.

Poor dirty stinky people like you are not allowed here, so get out right now!

One of the guards yelled at him. 

Just then, Scott's phone buzzed and an anonymous person had sent him a pornographic video of Lucy and him. His hand shook as he held his phone tightly. He felt the world  slipping away. What all this is about.

Tricked to a location where nothing is happening but to add more pain to his feelings. Everything is falling apart.

With full view, Scott couldn't withstand seeing his fiancée groaning in both pleasure and pain on the bed of another man.

He battled with the guards to get in.

but unfortunately, he was restricted. 

After that, the guards received an order to let him in. 

He busted into the room, Lucy was still sitting on the belly of Misha. one of the great iconic influential tycoon in Cape town.

“W-What are you doing here Lucy?”

“As you can see I'm enjoying it with my man, you poor bastard. Did you expect me to keep waiting when you received  money from your poor  father? A high class debtor? before you could take good care of me?”

Scott couldn't imagine seeing her with a man under her, as she rarely allowed him to kiss her and talk less of touching her in a romantic manner. 

She always tells Scott they can only kiss when they're married. But now she'd slept with a man she met recently. 

“But we had planned our wedding ceremony already. Why did you do this?”

“Did I just hear you say wedding?. You must be a clown, you wasted my time for your stupid love now get lost you fool”

“I found him today and I'm staying with him forever.

“Stand right there and watch me,” Lucy said. He pulled herself closer to Misha.

        **********************************************

“She's mine. I have all the rights to do anything with her. And don't ever try tampering with her else you'll be considered dead as your foolish father.” Misha Said as she held Lucy boobs together in front of Scott.

“Ouch!”

“That's too sweet honey”. Just continue let the fool watch”

Scott couldn't take it anymore.The statement and Misha's action ticked deep into Scott's mind as he pushed Lucy away, he punched Misha in his face. But before he could hit him again, Misha's guards behind the door were alerted.

“Guards! Guards!! Guards!!!”

The door opened wide as they moved in quickly.

They brought out their baton hitting Scott multiple times on his head and arms severally. As a result, blood gushed out of his nostril and mouth. 

After that, Misha got up. dressed in his cold black suit. He ordered them to make him kneel before him, he spat out blood from his mouth amidst the heavy punch he received from Scott. He asked him to lick it up.

“You foolish dog lick my blood or you'll suffer my rage by injuring me. I won't hesitate to make you join your father in the grave”.

Scott's eyes open wide hearing this statement.

“S-So you killed my father?”
