Hearing his words, a faint tension spread through the room.“Is it true? Could he be secretly rich?” Some people thought.“What a braggart! He probably can't even afford to pay for the food he just ate.” Others whispered.<

Clara learns the truth
At this point, a few curious alumni had stepped out, followed by a trickle of socialites and security personnel, all drawn by the screams of betrayal. Damian anchored his arm firmly around Sophie’s waist. She leaned into him, smoothing the silk of her dress with a calm elegance."Clara, since you have already seen us, there is no need to hide it anymore." Damian said casually.Clara stood trembling, her face a mask of pale horror as more people circled them. "Damian, what... what are you saying?" She stuttered."Isn't it clear to you yet," Damian replied with a sneer, straightening up and looking her directly in the eyes. "We’re in love, Clara. Real love. Not the pathetic, manufactured devotion I’ve had to perform for you every night for the last half-decade. Sophie and I have been together since high school. We were a couple before you even knew my name."The hallway erupted in a wave of gasps. Clara staggered back, her hand flying to h
The Restroom affair
"Did you guys hear that? It sounds like he’s saying... saying it’s Ethan Vale?" In the Class of 2016 group chat, a single message flickered onto the screens of both those who were present and others who weren't present. For a long, agonizing minute, no one answered. The silence from the students physically sitting in the hall was deafening. Classmate B: Hello? What’s going on? What’s wrong with Ethan now? Classmate C: Yeah, did he do something funny again? Did he get tackled by security? Someone post an update! Classmate D: Hey, everyone at the gala, why aren't you saying anything? The suspense is killing us! Marcus Reed was stunned into a catatonic state. Philip Vance looked like he had been struck by lightning. Their eyes were locked on the stage where a man and a woman were walking out, hand-in-hand, under the golden glow of the chandeliers. Kara Lewis amazed everyone. She moved with the gra
Humbling the group chat
Ethan looked at his suit and back up at her. “Is something wrong with the one I have on?” He asked.“No, Ethan. But I just want you to match with me, don't you think we will look better in a matching fit?” She pouted.Ethan smiled. “Okay, just for your sake.”“Perfect, there is a changing room back there, change quickly.” She urged.He took the suit from her and went to change into it. After changing, Ethan walked out and looked at her like asking what she thought.Kara's face glowed with a smile. “You are the hottest man alive,” she said and hugged him, then she kissed him deeply.He grabbed her ass and kissed her back, she gasped. “Ethan!” Her eyes widened.“What? You started it.” He chuckled.She laughed and claimed his lips again in a passionate kiss that lasted for over a minute.“So what now?” Ethan asked.“Now? Let's just stay here for a while, then we can go out together. I ve
VIP Tickets
When Ethan Vale got home, everyone had left. He quickly dressed up in a simple suit and took an extra pair to the hotel for Donald. After they were ready, they headed to York Town University for the anniversary party.It was already 8pm by the time they got there. The park was filled with luxury cars as many dignitaries from the city and beyond were present for the occasion.York Town University was the biggest university in the city, so it was expected that a lot of top socialites and successful old students attend the event.The corridor outside was swarming with people—alumni who hadn't secured tickets, local journalists, and onlookers all hoping to catch a glimpse of the city’s power players, especially the legendary Kara Lewis.As Ethan and Donald approached the checkpoint, a familiar, annoying voice cut through the air."Ethan Vale! Donald Glover! Stop right there. Neither of you is getting in."Ethan didn't even have to lo
Donation Chaos
While they were sitting at the roadside stall, the quiet buzz of the evening was interrupted by the constant pinging of Donald’s phone. Someone in the "Class of 2016" group chat had tagged both of them, and the messages were already spiraling out of control."Ethan, look at this. That idiot Philip is causing trouble again," Donald muttered, his voice slurred slightly from the beer. He slammed his bottle on the table, his eyes red with indignation. "I swear, I really want to punch that guy in the face..."Philip Vance was indeed back to his usual sarcastic self in the group chat:Philip Vance: @Ethan Vale, hey Ethan, since you were boasting earlier about knowing the 'Beauty Queen' Kara Lewis, that must mean you’re rolling in it, right? Why don’t you step up and donate a little to our alma mater?Philip Vance: Our class monitor, Marcus, and I have already put down 1000 dollars each. Surely a 'friend' of the Lewis family can beat that?It wa
Damian’s deceit
Clara Kent's penthouse was a monument to modern opulence, covered with glass and cold marble from floor to ceiling. Inside, the scent of expensive bourbon filled the air.Damian Lillard was sitting on the plush velvet sofa, swirling a glass of amber liquid when Clara walked in. She was already dressed, her hair meticulously styled, jewelry glittering under the recessed lighting. She stopped behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder.“Damian? Why are you still sitting here in your robe?” she asked, her voice tinged with a mix of confusion and impatience. “The York Town University anniversary gala starts in a few hours. This is the biggest event of the year, honey. I’ve already secured three VIP tickets; one for you, one for me, and one for Sophie. We need to start moving.”Damian didn’t turn around. He let out a long, theatrical sigh and took a slow, deliberate sip of his drink. “I don’t think I’m going, Clara. You and Sophie should go ahead without me.”
