2026-04-06 05:43:11Alex frowned and said, “That’s not fair. Why would you even let something like this happen when I didn’t do anything wrong?”
The man leaned back in his chair and looked at Alex like he was looking at a stubborn child.
“Not fair?” the man repeated slowly, his lips curling slightly. “Young man, this is not a place where fairness is discussed like a classroom topic.”
Alex’s expression stayed calm. “Then what is it?” he asked quietly.
The man sighed and waved his hand lazily. “It is a place where orders are followed. And the order came from the dean.”
Alex’s eyes narrowed slightly. “So you just threw my things out because someone said so?”
The man nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”
He leaned forward and tapped the table lightly. “Let me explain something to you in a way even you can understand. When the dean speaks, we don’t debate. We don’t argue. We act.”
Alex let out a slow breath.
“So anyone can walk in here, say anything, and you just obey?” he asked.
The man smirked. “Not anyone. The dean. And the people he listens to.”
Alex’s gaze grew colder. “And Lily?”
The man shrugged. “She came with the dean. And that rich boy… Daniel.”
He gave a faint chuckle. “Those two spoke like they owned the place. Honestly, the way they talked about you…” He shook his head. “Even I started to wonder if you were some kind of walking disaster.”
Alex’s hand clenched slightly.
The man noticed and leaned back again. “If you have a problem, go meet the dean. Arguing with me is like arguing with a wall.”
Alex stayed silent for a moment.
Then he nodded once. “Fine.”
He turned and walked out.
—
As Alex stepped out of the dormitory, his face remained calm, but his eyes had gone cold.
He walked toward the administrative building.
That was where the dean’s office was.
As he walked, he suddenly saw someone ahead.
It was the dean.
The man was walking out of the building, heading somewhere else.
Alex’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Perfect timing.”
He quickened his steps slightly.
“Sir,” Alex called.
The dean didn’t turn.
“Sir!” Alex called again, a bit louder.
Still nothing.
The man kept walking like he didn’t hear anything.
Alex frowned slightly.
He continued following him.
“Sir,” he called again, his voice steady.
But the distance remained.
The dean walked faster. Or maybe he simply didn’t care.
Alex kept following.
Step after step.
“Sir.”
“Sir.”
No response.
The dean suddenly turned a corner and entered a large hall.
An auditorium.
Alex saw him disappear inside.
“Sir!” Alex called one last time before the man went out of sight.
No response.
Alex reached the entrance.
Then he stepped inside.
The moment Alex entered the hall, he stopped completely as his steps froze.
His eyes lifted slowly.
The hall was packed with hundreds of students. Some were standing and some were seated.
They focused on one place.
The stage.
And on that stage Lily stood with Daniel.
Standing side by side.
Smiling.
Like they were the center of the world.
Alex stood at the back, unnoticed.
His face remained calm.
But his eyes… had gone dark.
On the stage, Lily held a microphone.
Her voice was loud and clear.
“Everyone,” she said with a bright smile, “thank you all for coming.”
The crowd clapped lightly.
Daniel stood beside her, his hand casually in his pocket, his expression full of confidence.
Lily continued, her tone playful. “Today isn’t just any day.”
She paused dramatically.
“It’s the beginning of a new chapter in my life,” she said cheerfully.
The crowd leaned in.
“And tonight,” she added, smiling wider, “we will be hosting our official engagement party. Right here.”
Cheers erupted, claps, whistles.
Daniel smirked proudly.
Lily laughed softly, enjoying the attention.
“But that’s not the only thing worth celebrating,” she added.
Her tone changed slightly.
“And more importantly…” she said slowly, “I am finally free.”
The crowd quieted slightly.
Lily’s lips curled into a faint sneer. “Free from a certain… burden.”
Some people in the crowd already started laughing.
They knew.
They all knew who she was talking about.
Lily tilted her head slightly. “Free from that pig who calls himself Alex.”
The hall exploded.
Everyone laughed loudly, uncontrolled.
Some students clapped.
Others whistled.
Alex stood at the back watching everything.
His face showed nothing, but his fingers slowly clenched.
On the stage, Lily continued, her voice filled with mockery.
“Honestly,” she said, “being tied to someone like him felt like being chained to a stray dog.”
The crowd roared.
Daniel chuckled beside her. “A stray dog might actually have more value,” he added casually.
More laughter followed.
Lily nodded. “You’re right.”
She looked at the crowd. “At least stray dogs know their place.”
The hall erupted again.
Lily raised her glass slightly. “So cheers,” she said brightly. “To a new era.”
The crowd echoed. “Cheers!”
“To a future,” she continued, leaning slightly toward Daniel, “where I marry someone who actually has value.”
Daniel smirked proudly.
“Someone who isn’t poor,” Lily added casually. “Someone who isn’t useless. Someone who isn’t…” she paused and laughed softly, “…a mistake.”
The crowd laughed again.
Alex’s eyes darkened further.
Daniel stepped forward slightly. “Let’s be honest,” he said, his voice confident. “Some people just don’t know their place.”
He looked at the crowd. “Imagine thinking someone like Lily would stay with… that.”
He didn’t even bother saying Alex’s name.
“Delusion is dangerous,” he added.
The crowd nodded. “Very dangerous.”
Daniel continued, his tone mocking. “And then he goes to prison and comes back acting like a victim.”
He scoffed. “A victim of what? His own stupidity?”
The crowd laughed harder.
“A man whose job was cleaning toilets,” he continued. “Thinking he could date someone like Lily?”
He shook his head. “That’s not ambition. That’s madness.”
Alex closed his eyes briefly.
Then opened them again.
Lily stepped forward again.
“And now,” she said, “even the dean agrees.”
She gestured slightly and the dean stepped onto the stage.
The crowd clapped respectfully.
Lily smiled. “He understands that someone like Alex shouldn’t even be allowed near other students.”
The dean nodded slightly.
“It’s for the safety of the school,” Lily continued.
“He just came out of prison,” she added. “Who knows what kind of dirty thinking he brought back with him?”
The crowd murmured.
“True…”
“Can’t trust people like that.”
“He might corrupt others.”
Lily’s voice grew sharper. “So his things were removed from the dormitory. And he has been… handled.”
The crowd nodded.
Satisfied.
Alex couldn’t hold it in anymore; he couldn’t restrain himself any longer.
“Handled?” Alex spoke up.
The entire hall was confused where the voice was coming from.
Heads turned and slowly Alex stepped forward from the back.
The crowd parted slightly.
Whispers spread.
“Him…”
“He’s here…”
Alex walked forward, slowly until he reached the stage.
Then climbed it with no hesitation.
He walked straight to Lily and took the microphone from her hand.
The crowd gasped.
“What is he doing?”
“Is he crazy?”
Alex looked at Lily with a calm expression on his face.
“Why are you insulting me?” he asked.
The hall went silent.
Lily blinked, then her expression twisted into a sneer.
“You came here?” she said mockingly.
She looked him up and down. “Wearing that?” she added with disgust.
Alex didn’t react.
“You don’t feel ashamed?” she continued. “Standing here like that?”
The crowd started laughing again.
Alex spoke calmly. “You betrayed me.”
He paused for a few seconds before speaking again.
“And now you gather people to mock me?”
Lily laughed loudly.
“Mock you?” she repeated. “You think you’re important enough to be mocked? You’re nothing,” she said coldly.
Daniel stepped forward. “You should thank her,” he said calmly. “She gave you a reality check.”
Alex turned his gaze to him.
Daniel smirked. “You went to prison because you’re useless, a thief and a criminal,” he continued. “Not because of us.”
He tilted his head slightly. “Or do you want to blame others for your stupidity?”
The crowd laughed again.
“You couldn’t even afford anything for yourself,” Daniel added. “So you kept stealing and getting into trouble until you went to prison for it. Whose fault is that?”
“And now you come back acting like a hero?” He shook his head. “Pathetic.”
The crowd burst into louder laughter.
Lily crossed her arms.
“You should leave,” she said coldly. “Before you embarrass yourself more.”
The crowd cheered.
“Yeah!”
“Get out!”
“Go back to prison!”

Father and son left the warehouse together shortly afterward.Outside, a long convoy of luxurious Rolls-Royces was already waiting for them. Before long, Alex and Victor entered one of the vehicles and the convoy pulled away from the warehouse.Although they were seated together in the spacious backseat, a strange silence hung between them. Neither man seemed to know where to begin. The entire situation felt unreal. As a result, both men remained quiet while the convoy drove through the city. Nearly thirty minutes later, the vehicles finally arrived at their destination.As the convoy passed through a massive security gate, Alex looked through the window and immediately froze. His eyes widened as he stared at the breathtaking sight before him.For a moment, he genuinely thought they had entered a private city.Before him stood the most beautiful villa he had ever seen in his entire life.Alex already owned the most extravagant mansion in Eco City Estate, and before today he had beli

For several moments after Victor revealed that Margaret was his mother and he was his father, Alex simply stood there in silence.His mind was in complete turmoil. Everything had changed within the span of a few minutes. For twenty-two years, he had believed he was alone in the world. There had been times when he watched other children spending time with their families and wished he had someone waiting for him whenever he returned home. But there was no one.Now after all this years, all of a sudden, he had found his father.The feeling was difficult to describe. There was confusion, disbelief, and shock, but beneath all of it was a profound sense of joy. It felt as though he had finally found something that had been missing his entire life.Victor, however, did not have mixed feelings.The old man was completely overwhelmed with emotion. His eyes were red, tears continuously streamed down his face, and before anyone could say another word, he stepped forward and pulled Alex into a t

Silence filled the entire warehouse after Victor's declaration.Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Even Sosa and his men had temporarily forgotten about everything that had happened earlier. The tension that had been building because of the confrontation suddenly disappeared as every single person in the room focused their attention on Alex and Victor.Meanwhile, Alex stood frozen in place as Victor's words continued echoing inside his mind.The statement was so unbelievable that for several moments, Alex genuinely did not know how to react. Then suddenly, he threw his head backwards and laughed.After a while, Alex finally stopped laughing. He shook his head before looking directly at Victor."Sir," he began respectfully, "I truly respect you. In fact, I am grateful for everything you have done for me. You gave me money when I needed it, and every time we have met, you have treated me with kindness. Because of that, I have a great deal of respect for you."He paused briefly before continui

The atmosphere inside the warehouse had become extremely tense. Sosa himself stood at the center of the room with a cold smile on his face."You brought this upon yourself," he said menacingly. "Nobody interferes in my business and walks away unharmed. Today, you are going to learn that lesson."Several of the thugs tightened their grip on their weapons and began taking slow steps toward Alex.However, just as the situation was about to explode into violence, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the warehouse.A few moments later, one of Sosa's men who was positioned as a watchdog outsider the warehouse came running through the entrance. The thug looked terrified. His breathing was uneven and sweat covered his forehead."Boss!" he shouted urgently. "Boss!"Sosa frowned immediately."What is it?" he demanded. "Why are you running around like your life depends on it?"The thug swallowed nervously before replying."There are several vehicles heading this way."The words immedi

The moment Sosa's voice sounded from behind them, Alex, Maurice and his family immediately stopped walking.Maurice slowly turned around, and this time there was obvious anger on his face."What now?" he asked coldly. "You already got your money. What else do you want from us?"Sosa slowly slipped his phone back into his pocket before looking at them with a strange smile."You seem to be forgetting something important," he said calmly.Maurice frowned."And what exactly am I forgetting?"Sosa clasped his hands behind his back and slowly paced around the room."You paid the debt, yes," he said. "But you only paid the original debt. You have not paid for the inconvenience you caused me."Maurice stared at him in disbelief."Inconvenience?" he repeated. "What inconvenience are you talking about?"Sosa stopped walking and looked directly at him."The repayment date I gave you expired a long time ago," he explained. "Because you failed to repay on time, I had to spend additional time, addi

With the knife still pointed at his throat, Alex continued pressing his phone repeatedly while trying hard to stay calm.Sweat slowly formed on his forehead as he refreshed the banking app again and again, but the network was still completely gone.Sosa’s face became colder with every passing second.Then suddenly, he slowly raised one hand into the air.“You have thirty seconds,” he said darkly. “If I do not receive my money before then, your blood will decorate this floor.”Immediately, he began counting with his fingers.The entire room instantly became silent.Maurice’s wife held her children tightly against her body while trembling badly in fear. Maurice himself looked completely helpless as he stared nervously at Alex.“Alex,” he said quickly, “Forget about us and find away to leave this place immediately. Please. This man is not normal.”But Alex ignored him completely as he continued struggling with his phone.He quickly turned on flight mode and switched it off again, hoping
