If only Donald was aware of the new development in his life, he would not be asking Adolphus all those questions.

Mr. Lesley was just trying to be a leech. He had been fed with honey, and now he was going after the bees.

“I don't know yet. Just be careful around that man." Donald replied.

The conversation ended at that, and Adolphus was glad it didn't press further.

Hours later at Flourish estate, at the Grahams’ villa. Benson Graham and his wife were seated close to the pool, having a conversation.

His phone rang, and he took it, staring intently at the caller ID. It felt strange seeing the number which was calling him.

It was Mr. Hudson, the owner of the estate.

Benson had not received a call from him in a very long time and was wondering what was wrong.

Mr. Hudson was not one to call him unless it was about money. Moreover, they don't pay the rent to him. It's his lawyer who gets everyone's rent.

The Grahams didn't own the villa they were living in. They were renting it and hav

In fact, you're not even half the man he is.”"Enough, both of you.” Pius's strong voice cut through the silence, leaving Abigail almost startled.For a moment, no one spoke, and at that time, Adolphus, who had been quiet, decided to act like the man he was.The man Abigail was seeing him as. He needed to be the man Abigail fell in love with and also profess his love.Adolphus reached out for Abigail's hands and gradually pulled her aside, stepping forward and standing face to face with the raging Pius.For a minute, they were staring at each other with intense hatred, not faking it.Adolphus hated Pius and likewise. The feeling was mutual. However, they're now connected because of Ab

    Taken aback by the voice, Abigail pulled out from the kissing and turned to see her brother angrily glaring at them.Pius's face had turned dark from so much rage, and his eyes were already red.He shot a dirty lok at Adolphus and quickly closed in on him, pulling him up and striking a punch on his face.“How dare you, a loser, come close to my sister. That is the height of it, Adolphus." Pius continued to punch his face while Drake went to hold onto Abigail, who was trying to interfere.Adolphus had been punched a few times, but he didn't retaliate.He was holding back from fighting with Pius because of Abigail. The woman who has just stolen his heart.“Let go of me, Drake." Abigail yelled at him, forcefully breaking free from Drake's grip.She ran up to Adolphus, standing before him and preventing her brother from striking again.“That's enough, Pius." She barked, breathing heavily with her hands spread open.Adolphus only stood behind her without a word. “You have to stop acting

    “What! Two hundred thousand dollars. Who is this anonymous man? Let him come and be my boyfriend." A student shouted from the crowd while everyone continued to cheer, clapping seriously.“Yeah. Anonymous man, if you can hear me. I'm openly asking you to be my boyfriend." Another female student added, shouting with so much excitement.As people clapped, they browsed through the place to see if the anonymous student would show himself. Unfortunately, nothing like that happened.Nothing like that has ever happened before. They were hearing it for the first time.The families of some students were not worth two hundred thousand dollars, and someone was giving it out for charity. How generous of him.The person must come from a very wealthy family.Richmond stood up and stormed out of the auditorium, his friends following behind.Svetlana also joined them.While they bolted out of the place in that manner, many students began to laugh.“Everyone please, there's no need to laugh at Richmond

    Richmond got to the podium, snatched the microphone, and announced cheerfully, with hopes of being the highest donor.“Hello everyone, we all know how it's done every year. No one can outwit me, so I'm adding an extra ten thousand dollars to last year's amount.“I'm donating the total sum of fifty thousand dollars." "Wow! Yeah. That's how we do it. Richmond is the man. He has always been the man.” Svetlana's voice cut through the noisy crowd that was filled with side talks, cheering and clapping.“Yeah, Richmond is the man. He always backs his words with actions." Another voice echoed from behind. It was one of Svetlana's friends, Hope. As usual, Prisca was seated beside her.Svetlana turned to the voice and saw her friends. Swiftly, she stood up and ran up to them, hugging each of them who rolled their eyes behind her.They no longer see her as their friend after the incident with her mother. They were just pretending before her face.Svetlana decided to sit with her friends since t

    The school auditorium had been set up for the fundraising event, which would commence in less than one hour. Flowers and ribbons placed and tied neatly and at every corner with precision. The hall was filled with seats and fluorescent lights that illuminated across, reaching every angle.As usual, many students were already seated, waiting for the event to commence. The fundraising event, although a noble course, did not get a noble procedure as everyone participating was just trying to show off.All the people who have made contributions in the past do not really care about the people whom those funds would be helping. All they cared about was to be respected the most.It was like a competition, and as expected, Richmond always tops the ladder. It was probably the reason he became school president despite his condescending attitude.In the past, Adolphus had never gone near the auditorium on a day like that. But this time, he was the person hurrying his friends.He had spent the wh

    Taken aback by the sudden apology from Adolphus, Abigail turned to him, her face scanning him with a curious look.She could not comprehend why Adolphus was apologizing. He hasn't done something wrong, has he?“I don't know why you're apologizing, so if you don't mind, fill me in on the reason for the apology so I wouldn't be lost." Adolphus lifted his head, staring back at her curious face. He nodded his head a few times before speaking.“I was horrible to you in the past even when you were being nothing but nice. You genuinely cared about me and my mother, and I treated you badly.”"I judged you because you're a Graham and because your family didn't treat us well.” Adolphus didn't want to dwell more on the topic of her family's mistreatment towards him and his mother, so he stopped talking.He saw the scowl on Abigail's face, which was quickly replaced with a warm smile.“It's ok. And about my family, I apologize on their behalf. I wish they'd view life from a different angle and
