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?"

    "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 interior of the R-9 Phantom glistened like the inside of a private jet—leather so soft it whispered against your skin, neon trims pulsing faintly along the edges, and a digital dashboard that looked like it had been stolen from a spaceship. Precious’s perfectly manicured fingers trailed along the door as she climbed in, her expression unreadable. Her friends hovered nearby, still processing what had just happened, while I slid into the passenger seat beside her with a quiet smile.I knew I had not only gotten her attention but, as a matter of fact, her father, the president, was surely going to invite me for a launch if he heard what I had done. Not just anyone could afford to buy the car. "That is one of the most expensive cars in the world." "I can't believe Pointus pulled that stunt off." "Do you think he is still spending Jeremiah's father's money? I heard he was kicked out." "And how is that possible? How did he manage to afford this, except if he isn't the son of a ric

    I looked at precious amidst the whispers of her friends. " I am sure you hate Jeremiah as much as i do. Why don't you help me take him down?" I asked staring at her face. " Take my fiance down? And what do I get in return for helping you?" Precious looked at me. I knew she was going to ask for something in return. I wasn't expecting her to do this for me for free. " Name your price." I said looking at her face. There was a moment of silence. " Do you actually think you can afford me? Your eyes.." Precious took a pause when she saw I was actually not with a walking cane. " How did you?" she stuttered a bit before regaining her composure. " Did you have the surgery?" She asked staring at me. " Can we forget about that? You don't need to feel guilty because you didn't do it. He did. So, are you going to help me take him down?" " My father will never agree to me coming home with you. You are not an elite and you don't belong in our world." Precious replied. " What will y

    [Ding!][System Alert: Emotional Interference Detected. Mission trajectory compromised. Recalculating.]I ignored it. For once, I let the message fade into the back of my mind. I was supposed to be scared of losing favour with the system, but if I was really the system, then I had no reason to be. The prom hall was alive with music and chatter, but I didn’t hear any of it. My eyes were locked on Zeo as she moved gracefully ahead of me. Heads turned when we walked in together. I felt it. The shift in atmosphere. Some people whispered, others gawked, and a few—like Precious—looked like they’d just swallowed acid.My gaze caught Cassie having a dance with some guy who had this look on his face. I didn't bother. All I cared about right now was the game I was playing and having a dance with Zeo. But I was glad to see them look in my direction. Good.Let them talk.Let the rumours spread like wildfire. I wanted it. Needed it. This wasn’t just about getting back at Jeremiah anymore—it w
