Abigail hurriedly approached them and when she caught up with the duo, Adolphus frowned his face and looked away.
“What do you want from us?” He said in a very cold voice but Abigail didn't take it to heart. She knew that he was angry and had the right to show his emotions.
“About whatever that happened earlier. Believe me, I will never support my family's cruelty and you know that. I'm sorry about everything.” Abigail quickly muttered an apology on behalf of her family.
“I know that you're different, my dear and I wish that your family are like you.” Doris placed a hand on Abigail's shoulders as she spoke to her. However, Adolphus ignored them and stopped the next cab that was approaching.
“Mom, let's get out of here.” Adolphus said as he opened the door for her while acting like Abigail was not there.
As soon as his mother was inside the car, Adolphus turned to Abigail and said in a rude manner. “Thank you for your concern but I don't need your sympathy. We might not be rich but I won’t let your family continue to humiliate my mother.”
Without another word, Adolphus got into the car, leaving Abigail standing speechless at a spot.
She was truly concerned but Adolphus was judging her by her family's behavior towards them.
He no longer wants to have anything to do with any member of the Graham's family.
Although they attended the same Boston University, he'd vowed to do his best and avoid crossing paths with Abigail and his arrogant brother.
“That was so rude. You shouldn't treat her that way because of her family.” Doris scolded him but he ignored her.
He wasn't going to talk about the Grahams any longer.
The ride to their little apartment was a quiet one while Adolphus was completely lost in his thoughts.
At that moment when he glanced through his phone, a message popped in, leaving him open-mouthed.
***
Adolphus had completely forgotten the birthday of his girlfriend Svetlana. His thoughts were so occupied in making more money that his totally forgot until he saw the message from her.
In fact, she was marking it at Golden gate hotel, one of the biggest hotels in town.
Without wondering how Svetlana got the money to organize a birthday party at such a hotel, Adolphus quickly hurried to the nearest department store to buy her a gift.
He was able to take out two hundred dollars out of the one thousand dollars in his account. With that, he bought some jewelry worth the amount and hurried to catch a bus to the hotel since it was quite far from his current location.
A moment later, inside the bus, Adolphus's phone began to ring. It was one of his friends, Donald, who was calling.
“Where the heck are you, man? Haven't you been checking the messages in our group chat?”
"What group chat are you talking about? Have you forgotten that I'm no longer in that group chat after the last incident.” Adolphus replied, recalling what happened to him the last time.
Just like every other student, he joined the group chat until one person posted a video of him where he was washing Joel's clothes while Joel was pouring dirty water on his head.
Joel was one of the school's rich kids and a bully as well but he pays well. Which was the reason Adolphus endured the humiliations from him.
For more than one week, he was the object of ridicule in the group chat and had to quietly exit the group. They even nicknamed him ‘minion’.
“Oh, that's right. You're no longer in the group. Well, I just don't want you to bother yourself by coming to Svetlana's birthday party. There won't be a need for that anymore."
“Just stay back in the hostel, we're coming to meet you there." Donald said to Adolphus, getting him really anxious.
“What are you talking about? In fact, don't worry yourself. I'm already on my way to find out what's going on.” Adolphus ended the call immediately without waiting for his friend to say anything more.
He got to the hall where the party was happening and was greeted by a very unexpected sight.
Before his face, Svetlana clutched tightly onto the shoulders of the school's acclaimed richest kid, Richmond Wright. The latter held her on the waist while they exchanged a very passionate kiss to the amazement of all the guests.
“Wow!!!” Everyone cheered while clapping happily for the couple.
Out of impulse, Adolphus dropped the small box of jewelry on his hands and charged at Richmond.
Angrily, he shoved him off and took Svetlana's hands, dragging her out of the place but she refused to follow him.
“Have you gone mad, Adolphus?" Svetlana managed to pull her hands out of his grip and gave him a deafening slap.
At that moment, the guests began to gather around them, their whispers filling the hall.
“How dare you come here to disrupt my birthday party, something you can never do for me in your entire life?" Svetlana barked angrily while clinging tightly onto the enraged Richmond.
Richmond's friends, Vincent and Gabriel also charged at Adolphus and with one unaware kick, he was swept off his feet, sending him to the ground.
“You have the nerve to push our friend and try to take his girl away. Where did you get the temerity?" Gabriel barked angrily while glaring down at Adolphus.
“Richmond, what do you want us to do to him?” Vincent inquired and everyone waited for a response but he said nothing at that moment, only glaring daggers at Adolphus.
Adolphus even managed to stand up and turned to Svetlana who was giving him a dirty look.
“How could you, Svet? After everything I did for you?”
"What have you done for me? In fact, what could a guy like you possibly do for me?” Svetlana replied coldly, curling her lips into a sneer.
"Just because you managed to help me with some school work, you think that I'll ever be in a relationship with you. You must be dreaming, loser.”
"But…."
“But what, Adolphus. Just take your trashy gift and get out of my party.” Svetlana pointed at the small box on the ground.
"Yeah, leave already, minion. You're spoiling the fun here. Take your bad luck with you.” Joel's cold and deep voice cut through the crowd.
Adolphus turned to the direction of the voice but felt someone holding his hand. It was Richmond.
“You're going to pay for your insolence and for spoiling my girl's party.” Richmond said calmly but the look on his face was deadly.

“That's more reason you should be extremely careful.” Abigail spoke. “You already know who the enemy is, yet you're not being careful.”“It hasn't been long since you came back from prison, and the same woman sent you there.

Be extremely careful.” Donald also warned him.The friends talked for a few more minutes before Donald and Glover left the conversation, leaving just the couple to talk alone.“Adolphus. Please listen to us and do not get your mother worried again.” Abigail and Adolphus spoke for a few more minutes before the call ended. Inside the house, he found his mother seated on the sofa, waiting for him. As soon as she saw him, she stood up and walked up to her.“What did your father say to you?” She inquired seriously with raised brows. “He's imposing some bodyguards on me. Well, he's also worried like you, so I just have no choice.” Adolph

The effect of the van's collision left the driver and the front seater severely injured and unconscious. Adolphus and the others at the back only sustained a few injuries but weren't unconscious. They quietly came out from the car and pointed their guns at Adolphus, who was about to get down as well. “Don't you dare move another inch.” The man said to Adolphus, pointing a gun at him.The other man also pointed his gun at Bradley. “If you move, I'll shoot you down.”“Drop your weapons now.” A voice shouted from behind, and they knew that it was over for them. The police had finally caught up with them, and there was nowhere to run anymore. “Final warning. If you don't drop your weapons, we'll shoot you down.” The voice came again, this time, with a serious warning.

Adolphus was going home from work days later when their car suddenly stopped. He was alone with Bradley, and the path was lonely. Only a few cars drove by occasionally. He had worked so hard that day and decided to go home and rest. His mother would join him afterward. It was almost getting dark at that time, and their car suddenly stopped in the middle of nowhere. A place where they weren't sure of their safety. “I'll go and find out what happened to the car.” Bradley said to him and hurried down from the car to check it out. He noticed that the fault wasn't serious and began to fix it while Adolphus waited for him inside the car.The next minute, a black van pulled over before their car, and three men in black came down from the van. They were all dressed in black and covered their faces properly. One of them pointed a gun at Bradley, who was engrossed in what he was doing. He had to stand straight and raise his hands in surrender. The men were armed, so they must be careful.
