“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.

"THE FAKE PATRIARCH OF THE RICE FAMILY HAS BEEN ARRESTED UNDER THE COUNTS OF IMPERSONATION AND MURDER OF HIS SON AND GERALD RICE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED HE WAS ONCE A MAFIA OPERATOR AND COMPLETELY CHANGED HIS IDENTITY TO FIT INTO THE HIGH SOCIETY."Chris walked out of the meeting room, where he had met the dumbfounded shareholders who had no objection to his unprecedented ownership of the Rice empire.Robin Smith’s arrest had come as a shock and now, they were planning to hold a memorial in Gerald Rice's memory.By Chris’ side, Baron wheeled himself, half heartedly as he couldn't get over the silent grief of losing his father. They couldn't even get his body back."Everything worked out well, didn't it?" Chris stopped, turning to face Baron. "Though your brother has been released, you will still take over the operations of the Rice empire.""You are the chairman now." Though Baron's heart rejoiced at that news as Chris was willing to give him a chance to shine, he still couldn't smile
Arrested
Two hours had passed and Baron sat in his wheelchair, staring at his phone for any sort of update from Chris. Though it was late into the night, his eyes wouldn't close. He was the last of three sons in the Rice family, yet, he felt like he was an outsider.What if something had happened and he knew nothing about it, and yet, Chris knew?He couldn't sit still and as he picked up his phone to call Chris, his wife came rushing in, putting her phone in his face."Have you seen this? What the fuck is wrong with that old man? Has he gone senile?"Baron held the phone, his fingers quivering slightly. His father, Gerald Rice stood before the reporters, his face half covered with a mask but they could all see the slight shake in his body. The way his eyes avoided the cameras, made him look like a country bumpkin.In that moment, Baron's eyes dimmed even more, as he finally realized that it was odd. He had used Gerald's camera fear to make himself look good earlier but now that he wasn't in th
A Show Coming Up
Gerald paced up and down, in the living area as he had been sent back home after Chris had thrown him out of the office building.He wasn't even allowed entry! How dare he!“I am going to crush that bastard.” He declared, his chest heaving. However, he couldn't dispel the fear in his mind. The chills that ran down his spine told him something was really wrong. Chris had addressed him with that name he detested. He couldn't sit still. He had to know what that boy was hiding and had to get to the root of the situation. “Someone get Baron here! Right this instant!”He yelled at the few attendants Baron had provided and they dared not ignore his words. As his rotten face scrunched and twitched, he looked like a monster they couldn't provoke. An hour later…Baron wheeled himself into the house, stopping before Gerald. “You called, Father.” He said, his voice calm. Too calm for Gerald’s liking. “Is there anything wrong?”“What?” The old man gasped. “I was sent out of the meeting room
Exposing Gerald Rice
All shareholders stood up in shock as soon as Chris appeared in the doorway, flanked by Rico Axe and Butler Rico. Gerald sat at the head of the table, his hands shaking and teeth gnashing against the other when he watched Chris come in like he owned the place. Even Baron was amazed and he quickly wheeled himself toward Chris. His chest tightened, knowing what he had done wrong, after all, Chris had told him to lie low and wait. However, he was too impatient, too greedy to wait. He wanted the Rice empire for himself and Chris was taking too long.“Mr. Westminster…” Baron said, hurriedly approaching. However, Chris didn't take a single glance at him as he walked further into the meeting room, approaching Gerald who was his target. But then, Baron was slowly descending into fear knowing he had made a fatal mistake. He thought things would go smoothly before Chris would be able to get to him. After all, Chris couldn't interfere in the company's issues, right? As Chris stood before o
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
