Do you know that feeling of not having to answer to anyone?The feeling you get when you don't answer to anyone. No one bosses you around or tells you what to do.That was what I was feeling right now. I could do whatever I want. Eat whatever I want to eat, and also I have tonnes of workers and staff bowing at my feet.The house was like a maze.I got lost each time I tried looking. Lots of room and many staff. I don't understand why the house had to be so crowded that it looked like a market, but the truth was that every staff member had their own usefulness.Did my father really build this?"Yes, he did. And as a matter of fact, you are the sole heir to it. Your lesson starts tomorrow. You need to understand that you are not here to play around. Whatever is in your bloodstream is powerful, and they will come for it." Jeffrey said, looking at me.I wasn't sure if he was trying to scare me or if he meant every bit of the words that were coming from his mouth."Your enemies are not Jer

I looked back to see them gazing out of the house. Mark had a gleam on his face and of course Jeremiah was more than happy to see me thrown out of my very own house. I don't know what my mother was hiding from me but I am going to find out. " Get me out of here Jeffery." I said with my mind. I was the system.If it was connected to my blood streams then I know Jeffery could hear me. [ DING! ] [ System message ; Your escort will be with you in a while Master Pontius. Please hold on. ] I let out a sigh as I kept walking down the street. I looked back a few times as I walked down the estate I had once called my street. I was about to get to the main street when I heard a voice right behind me. I looked back and I saw three young rascals walking towards me. They were dressed in black clothes and I knew they were street thieves. " I don't want any trouble." I said out looking a bit exhausted from yelling at my mother all night. " Of course, we don't want any scuffles too pretty bo

"What is this madness?" My mother shouted at me, drawing me back in anger. "You are going to take your hands off him this instance!"My hand slowly fell off Mark's body. I took a look at my mother and didn't believe she was going to come all out to get me like that."Are you siding with him over me? What the hell is going on, Mother?" I asked, feeling torn. This was a woman who dotes on me every now and then, but what is slowly happening?She was becoming distant by the day."You need to understand that Mark is the man I love. The man I want to spend the rest of my life with." Eva said again."Mother? You are not thinking straight. I don't know what is going on here, but I am not going to live with a man who is my enemy. And to think I am going to live in the same house as them is making my skin crawl." I said in anger.Jeremiah laughed. "Oh, brother. You are not going anywhere, and if you do, I am going to make sure I hunt you down," he said with a grin on his face."Hunt me down? Ca

"Where the hell have you been, Pontius? Did you even look at your phone? You had me worried!" Eva yelled at me. I raised my eyebrows to meet her and said nothing. I simply walked past her into the mansion. "Didn't you hear me? I just asked you a question. Where the hell have you been?" My mother asked, raising her voice yet again. She had a look on her face that showed she would have spanked me if not for the law guiding the country. "And why must I tell you that? You brought a man who is not even my father back to the house we bought back, and you want me to tell you everything? What else do you want, Mother? I even gave you the money to start your own hospital. Shouldn't that be enough?" The tension was thickened between the both of us as we stared at each other. "So tell me, why is he back?" Eva said nothing but walked away from me. "Do you even know his son is trying to bully me at every chance he gets?" I was met with another silence which was beginning to get irr

I was lost in thought. The moment I heard what the system was all about. I knew I had a lot of enemies, and my fight just got more complex. "You have time to prepare yourself, Master Pontius. There is still time." Jeffrey said, looking at me. "Did you just say time? Have you thought about what I am going to have to go through and who I am going to face?" I said rubbing my temples. "You can do this. I believe in you." Jeffrey said again. "The house has been designed to help shield you from external forces. And of course, not anyone can find you here." "Are you saying this place is in the form of a sanctuary for me?" I asked, staring at Jeffery. "Yes, Master. Your father built this in a way that you will be able to harness the power of the system. You have lots of tools here, Master. You can train and also map out your next missions from here." Jeffrey said with a smile. "Don't worry; you are going to love it here." Jeffery said, looking at me. "Now, onto the next. You need to me

"Does anyone know about this?" I asked as I walked behind Jeffrey. "Are you asking me if anyone knows about this building?" Jeffrey stopped and looked at me. "Yes. That is exactly what I am asking. I need to know if I only have access to this." "Of course, it was built specially for you. You alone have the ability to unlock each door and, of course, have the power to self-destruct it." Jeffrey said, walking ahead. The view of the mansion was breathtaking. The lawns were beautifully mowed, and the flowers were planted in a way that captured the entire surroundings."Are you saying that my father planned all of this in the form of a system?" I asked, staring at the back view of the man that was walking right in front of me. "Yes, he knew this day was going to come. He wanted to give you the best of everything, but there was no time." Jeffrey said as they reached the front of a very big door. "What do you mean there is no time? Why does he have to leave us when he can shield and pr

" What is he doing?" " Don't tell me he can see now?" " That is impossible!" " Is this some kind of magic?" " We all saw what Jeremiah did to his face. He can't just be able to see." As the bickering continued. I grabbed my walking stick and walked out without looking at any of them. The thought of finding the man who came into the cafeteria the other time enveloped my thoughts. If only I could see him now. I don't want to go back to my house. I knew there was no way I would fight Mark without having to fight my mother. For some strange reason which she refused to tell me, I don't know why she would give in to a man who humiliated us. I got outside and I saw a black limousine parked just right outside. I was dazed. It was my first time seeing a car that long. I have seen many big cars parked in the school compound to pick up the rich or richer kids but none of them had come in a limousine. The door was kicked open as if it was readily waiting for me. I took a ste

The moment my phone shattered against the rocky ground, something inside me cracked too. The sound didn’t just echo in my ears—it rang deep in my soul like a funeral bell tolling for every humiliation I’d endured. Everyone gasped, some screamed, but most of them laughed. That kind of laughter that cuts, sharp as glass, like they were feasting on my pain." What is he going to do?" " It is not like he could beat Frankie and Jeremiah up?" " Who is going to side with him?" I could hear their words and jest but it didn't matter to me. Not anymore. My breath was ragged as I lunged toward Jeremiah with a snarl building in my throat. He didn’t expect the speed. Neither did I.My body crashed into his, toppling him onto the field. Fists flew—mine wild and fueled by months of built-up rage. The footballers froze, caught between amusement and alarm. Jeremiah tried to shield his face, but I landed one solid punch that busted his lip. Blood spurted from his mouth, and the cheers of the cr

I looked at all the students' faces, and I could see they were more than eager to see what I was really going to do. My cane was tightly grasped in between my fingers as I looked at their faces. Each has a cartoon face. I wonder why I have been seeing that anyway. But it didn't matter as long as I could see. My palm that was initially damp became sweaty. My glances began to shift between Cassie, Felicia and Zeo. Layla stood still with her gaze following my movements. Precious also walked in a few minutes ago. They all stood still, eyes on me. "Has he actually been spending Jeremiah's father's money?" "Is that what this was all about?" "I doubt he even has a cent in his account." "If he did, he would have shown us by now." "Little Pontius doesn't even have a hundred bucks." I could hear their voice and the way I was being shamed. I closed my eyes, and it was as if I asked, saying a silent prayer. I prayed the system would come back to my aid. All I needed was just
