chapter fifty seven
The envelope sat there like it had weight beyond paper—like it was filled with danger instead of documents. It almost looked like it was rigged with explosive. I saw the look on Riku's face. He wanted to grab the envelope but I knew it can't be a bomb. I look around and saw the faces of the students. Smiling and talking and back at the paper in front of me. My eyes didn’t leave it, and for a moment, neither did Riku’s or Yana’s. The cafeteria felt quieter, even though the clatter and hum continued around us. “Don’t touch it yet,” I muttered, pushing my tray aside. Riku reached into his jacket, his movements subtle but precise. “You want me to scan it? Check for poison, tracking devices, explosives?” I shot him a flat look. “It’s an envelope, not a briefcase from a spy movie. Relax.” Yana leaned forward, her eyes flicking toward the door Vicky had walked through. “I can tail her. If she knows something about Jeremiah’s father, she could be a key witness… or bait.” “N
Chapter fifty six
I knew the power I was having now. No one could mess with me. Not Jeremiah and definitely not the school bullies.They all know their place now, or should I say I put them in their place?I was going to make them fear me. Enough with the bullying act. I needed to break the chain and show everyone that no one is above the school system.I don't want to be adored, worshiped, or praised. I just wanted to be myself and get through school with a name that will never be forgotten.I knew I still had many demons to fight, but now, all I could think of was graduating with the best grades.I sat at the cafeteria with my lunch in front of me.Jeffery had just asked two of the best ninjas he had to be on my guard. They are to be my shadow inside the campus. The good news was that they were young and more like students.It was very easy for them to blend in."Don't follow me up and down like some lost puppies trying to find their parents. I can handle myself." I said, Each time, they came out of

The air was thick with tension. Students lined the corridor walls like spectators at a gladiator match, phones out, their eyes darting between the three girls and me. Cassie, Precious, and Felicia—each standing tall, fierce, and ready to tear each other apart. Then came the sound. Tap. Tap. Tap. It wasn’t hurried, nor was it hesitant. It was deliberate. Confident. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Jeremiah. The crowd parted like the Red Sea. He walked in the middle, his boys—Nathan and Caleb—flanking him. His school blazer was tossed casually over one shoulder, his shirt half-unbuttoned like he was already halfway to an after-party. “You just had to make a scene, didn’t you, Pontius?” he said, his voice amused as he halted a few steps away from me. “You’re turning into quite the campus celebrity. Girls fighting over you, mothers begging for your approval, and now—” he gestured broadly “—this little circus.” I didn’t respond. My blood boiled just hearing his voice

"Is it true?" One of the students said, slightly raising her head up slightly. "Jeremiah and Pointus are finally going to be brothers." "More like his mother wanted it so bad. I heard she even had him sent out of the house for Jeremiah's father." I could hear those words. I clenched my hand so tight that my nails dug into my palms. "If you think I am going to be a brother of yours, then you must be kidding!" I lashed out at Jeremiah. "How long do you think you are going to last for? You think you are on top of the world because you have some cash stashed up? Well, I am going to see how long you are going to last before you come crawling back with your tails in between your legs. My father will be getting married to your mother, and she is going to want you to be there." Jeremiah said while the students kept bickering about our lives. To them, my mother was an opportunist, while Jeremiah's father was the rich man who had decided to change her life for the better. The same man wh

"What about my mother?" I asked, staring at Jeffrey."I am sorry to say this, Master, but a woman's mind can be fickle. Easily changed." he said, looking at me"What do you mean by that?" I asked, staring at his face."I am sorry to be the first one to break it to you, but your mother is getting married to Jeremiah's father. It seems you both are slowly going to become brothers." Jeffrey buttressed."That scoundrel is no brother of mine." I said with vermin. My fingers were clenched, and it threatened to break under my hands."I just think you should know since you asked." Jeffrey said, finally walking away.I looked at him, and I could feel the rage burning inside of me. I knew it was too late.I couldn't stop the wedding, but I was going to make Jeremiah's father pay for disrupting my life and still managed to get married to my mother.I knew Jeremiah was angry. All I needed was to get him more annoyed. I need to know how his father was getting his money.I lay on my bed trying to s

The beeping sound of the machine woke me up. I tried to sit upright but the throbbing pain in my head made it unbearable for me. I looked beside me and saw Jeffrey seated before me. His legs were crossed and he had a worried look on his face. " Are you awake Master Pontius?" he said slowly getting up to his feet. I nodded blinking twice. " What the hell happened?" I asked looking at him. " You tell me that. I came to meet you on the floor. You were knocked out cold." Jeffrey said looking at me. " Do you remember anything from last night?" " I was gifting Precious a car. I wanted her too.." I stopped. That was all I remembered. " Well, I am sure the person that had you knocked out wanted to teach you a lesson." Jeffrey replied. " The systems had done their work so you should be fine in two hours time." Jeffrey turned to look at me. " I managed to track Jeremiah within the time you were knocked out and I think he might have had a hand in that. What do you think I should do?" I g
