“Are you out of your mind?” Mike yelled, pulling Melissa to himself while he glared at Chris.

“I said, get away from her!” Chris rushed forward, wanting to tear them apart again. However, Jose stepped forward and held Chris. 

Pak! 

A heavyweight slap landed on Chris’s face, his face swung sideways as his lips tore apart. Chris’s eyes were red from anger and pain, his face was swollen but then he struggled against Jose, while he glared at Melissa and Mike. 

On the other hand, everyone there was watching the commotion while Reid and Ren were annoyed that Chris had spoiled the whole thing for them. 

“Bring him to me,” Reid commanded. 

Immediately, Chris was pushed before Reid. His forehead slammed on the ground as he lay flat on the floor. 

Reid bent to Chris’s level, raising him up by the shoulder. 

“I already told you…” He slapped Chris lightly on the face, continuously, and then continued, “You shouldn't ruin this confession. I told you to get lost and now you are here, ruining it.”

However, Reid’s words went into Chris’s ear and flew out of the other. He just wanted to confront his girlfriend but Reid had him locked down. 

Chris’s emotions were getting the better of him and he glared hatefully. 

“You are glaring at me? Do you want to die?” Reid’s face was bloodshot with a murderous gaze. “You do whatever we say. If I tell you to clean after the confession, you do so! Otherwise, I will kill you and dump your body on a dump site.” 

“You are just a fucking cleaner!” Reid spat on Chris’s face. 

Immediately, there was an uproar of laughter as the onlookers pointed at Chris. 

“Hahaha! He is just a cleaner.” 

“I was quite scared when he rushed out, thinking he was some kind of crazy dude. What can a cleaner do?”

Chris bowed his head in shame, as he heard the insults thrown at him. He then shot Melissa a side glance, wishing he could just get her in the palm of his hands. 

On the other hand, Melissa took a step back in fear, her eyes darting around. She shook her head at Chris, silently telling him to keep quiet. How could everyone know that she dated Chris, a common cleaner?!

Although Chris was good academically, he was handsome, he couldn't be compared to Mike. Mike was the richest dude in school, he could spend on her and get her whatever she wanted. Even the flowers he bought for her for his confession were worth a thousand dollars. 

Chris’s wage wasn't even a quarter of that! 

“Why are you whispering, Melissa?” Chris sneered, seeing what she was doing.

“Don’t call my girlfriend with your trashy mouth!” Mike immediately shielded Melissa. 

“Let him go, Reid. I will deal with him myself.” He ordered. 

Swiftly, Reid let go of Chris and Mike came rushing forward. However, Chris was quick to dodge, he shot up to his feet. 

Chris held his painful jaw and pointed at Melissa, “Why are you whispering? Why are you here with Mike?”

Melissa took a step back, shaking her head, “What are you talking about?” 

“Why don't you tell them that you are my girlfriend?”  Chris sneered. 

“Girlfriend?” Ren sneered. 

“This dude is out of his mind!” They laughed, scornfully. 

“Why would a beautiful girl like Melissa date you, a loser?” Reid asked. “Do you think she is your class?” 

The laughter continued and Melissa sighed in relief, seeing that their opinions were in her favor. 

She stepped forward boldly, “Don’t mind his stupid ass. He pursued me, wanting to have me but I never accepted his pursuit. I only took mercy on him and talked to him. Now, he is ranting about me being his girlfriend?” 

“Tch!” She sneered. “If you dare come close to me, Chris, I will make sure you regret it.” She threatened coldly. 

Chris’s gaped in shock. He was shocked that the woman he had spent his savings on, the woman he worked overtime for was denying him. 

“Have… have you forgotten?” He stuttered. “I used all my money just yesterday to get you a gift you liked. How could you say that to me?” 

Chris was hurt. It hurt to love a woman who didn't even hesitate to deny him. What had he done wrong? 

“Me, money?” Melissa snorted. “How much could you afford to give me? You are just being delusional.” She then turned to Mike, “Make him disappear.” 

“You heard her, dumbass! Get lost!” Reid dragged Chris, wanting him to throw him out of the court. 

“Before you go…” Mike stepped forward, dipping his hand into his pocket. “Take this!” He flung up to twenty 100 dollar bills on Chris’s body. 

“Get a life, pauper.” He sneered. 

Chris was humiliated. His eyes darted around seeing how they ridiculed him and it was all because of Mike and Melissa. 

As he was being dragged out, something sinister snapped in his head, and he escaped from Reid. 

He rushed forward with so much force and anger and before Mike could comprehend what was going on, Chris punched him in the face. 

“Ahh!!!” 

Shocked gasps filled the air as Mike staggered backward, holding his broken nose which dripped with blood.

  • You Have No Power

    Gerald had long left the hospital, however, his face had deteriorated and he had also refused treatment from the hospital. He refused to let any doctor touch his face apart from Doctor Blackman. However, no matter how he reached out to the doctor, he never got a reply. Now, he was staying at the secluded house Baron had grudgingly provided for him with an attendant by his side. “What is he saying? Did you tell him I agreed to the surgery he proposed before now?” He asked desperately. “I am sorry,” The attendant apologized with pity in her eyes. “He has warned me to stop contacting him otherwise he is going to involve the police.”“Ohh…” Gerald let out, his finger nicking his flesh as he was slowly immersed in worry. The doctors had said he had a tendency to have a stroke now due to the way his health had deteriorated. But then, he wasn't ready to give up. He was going to find adequate help by all means. “Contact Baron.” He ordered the attendant. At this point, he had no choice b

  • Released

    Five days later…“Have you heard?” A police officer rushed to the detective in charge of Chris’s case with a bewildered look.“What is it?” The detective asked, his gaze displeased. He had a lot on his mind, he was trying to connect the Westminster family to the bomblast but there were no leads. He also has not been able to contact Chase about their ongoing deal. “Reid has been found.” The officer said and immediately the detective whipped his head in his direction. “What…what do you mean?” He asked shakily. “Oh, you don’t know?” The officer laughed scornfully. “I thought you were the detective in charge of the case.” Of course, he knew this beforehand but then they all knew how much the detective had been so hyper about the case.“What do you mean by that?” The detective snapped! “It’s my case and I know everything about it.” He lied through his teeth so he wouldn't be seen as a fool. He was the one in charge but how could he not know? “I guess you know then…” The officer chuckle

  • Emptiness

    “Family member?” Gerald muttered, his eyes flickering to the empty space in the corner of the ward. He was just like that, empty. His life, empty. On the other hand, the nurse wondered why he was thinking deeply about a family member. Did a billionaire like him not have someone to call his own?“Don’t you have one?” She probed. She was just curiously asking but Gerald felt like she was mocking him.“I do.” He blurted out without thinking. “Can you give me their names or contact?” She asked joyfully, feeling like there was progress. At least, if he had a family, they could help oversee his checkup. “Baron…” He whispered. “My son, Baron Rice.” The feel of those words on his mouth left a bitter feeling. He didn't have a son, he just had people he could use. “Okay, I will contact him. Rest well, for now.” The nurse quickly left. It was easy to get Baron’s contact especially when she contacted the police about Gerald’s case. They were overseeing the bomb blast incident. An hour later,

  • Sweet Smile

    Gerald’s frail body was spread on the hospital bed while he stared at the white ceiling in frozen shock. He didn't know how he got there or how long he had been there. He just opened his eyes to see that he was there. He called for Chase, but there was nothing. No one was by his side. The door opened and he whirled his head to the side weakly. He saw a nurse walking in with the sweetest smile on her face and in that moment, his heart shifted a little. No one had ever smiled so sweetly at him before. Not even his parents. All his life, he was surrounded by misery. “Excuse me, good day.” She greeted. “I see you are awake. I would like to do a quick check-up on you. You don’t mind if I touch you, right?”Gerald couldn't speak, so he only nodded. The nurse moved closer, and though he didn't suffer any burns from the blast, she noticed that his face was a bit weird with little bruises here and there. He wasn't like this when he came in with the emergency unit. “Uhm, Mr. Rice, did you

  • We Will Find Reid

    It had been two days since Chris had been wallowing in the police cell with the detective in charge of his case passing mocking remarks to him. However, Chris was counting down in his mind, until the time his father would make a move. With the true Westminster power, he should be out in a day. However, it was now stretching to the third day. “Hey, you.” The detective walked to his cell, with a sneer that had been plastered on his face for the last 48hours. He gripped the bars and poked his face between the bars. His mashed-up face between those bars made Chris cringe a bit and he pulled away, due to the stench emanating from him. “Aren't you going to go home? You stink.” He hissed. “Why would I?” The detective smiled, his yellow teeth more visible. “When I personally escort you into jail, then I will leave for home. For now, I just want to watch your misery—”Ring!Ring!!!The detective’s head whirled around when sudden ringing sounds filled everywhere. Different stations were ge

  • Everything Falling Apart

    Chase frowned, confusion riddled him, “What do you mean I was fooled?”In that moment, Gerald chuckled, “Like I said, you are a loyal dog who would never change its stripes. Dogs like you…” He licked his lips, taunting Chase even more. “Will always be led around, used, deceived, and dumped.” “Shut the fuck up and tell me the truth! Did you send Greg to kill me or not?” Chase barked, holding onto the old man’s shoulder, “I signed a document. Did you send him to do that too?”Gerald wasn't moved by his barking, he only continued to smile. No answer. He was reeling in Chase’s pain. “Damn it!” Chase cursed and slowly let go of the old man. His feet moved backward as he stepped out of the basement. As soon as the door closed behind him, he stumbled to the ground, struggling to even breathe. Darkness had overshadowed the mansion, the night sky brooding heavily as a storm was about to happen. A storm was happening in Chase’s mind too. All along, he had his suspicions. Chris had easily ag
