Riley woke up with two large eyes staring at him.

"I thought you were never going to wake up with a sleepy head," Fred muttered.

Riley's eyes swept at them and could see that they were all dressed up. He was confused, stretching his head. The last time that he remembered, there wasn't any.

"Are you guessing about leaving me to go to a party?" He inquired with his blinking eyes.

"Leaving you! You wish. Guess you have already forgotten. Today is the day for Karl's team to shine. You don't expect us not to be there to cheer him right?" He said further.

Now saying that, it suddenly clicked. He had almost forgotten that today was the day for the school basketball tournament for which Henry was the captain.

They all got dressed and left, however, when they had gotten over to the stadium, he decided to use the bathroom.

"Oh well, guess I will have to find somewhere else to sit," Riley muttered to himself, seeing that the place where they sat was already filled up.

While he sat there waiting for the match to start, a stunning looking lady walked into the place.

Her skin was silk and glittering in the sun's rays. Enough to give all the girls in the place a run for their money and for the guys to grow hard.

"Where did such beauty come from? I have never seen anyone that's as beautiful as her." The eyes of the guys were all popping out from their sockets. Even for some of them that had their girl friends right in their hands, causing quite a few glares.

While for the ladies, they were filled with so much jealousy, wishing that they were the ones that had been in this person's shoes instead.

They wanted to rip that skin off from her body.

The states that she was getting we're all ignored by the stunning lady who seemed to be walking towards someone.

Everyone looked further seeing who this lucky fellow that had caught the attention of such a rare beauty was eventually going to be.

The good-looking lady walked up towards Riley with a smile on her face. It looked like she was also there alone.

Riley's gaze shifted towards her. She was beautiful with her body all bulging out. And from the dress that she was putting on, he could tell that she was stunning.

"Hi. Do you mind if I sit here?" She inquired and Riley didn't mind.

She sat down right beside him and brought out two bottles of soda, handing them over to him with a smile.

The hearts of the boys almost ripped open from the center.

Most of them already knew who this Riley of a person of a person was.

"Wait. She chose that poor rat over me?" One of them said still lost in his thoughts.

"Is the world suddenly playing a cruel trick or me is are my eyes suddenly deceiving me."

Riley was the least of the people here yet, the beauty had taken interest in him and was even trying to start a conversation.

This was beyond just luck. They were more than furious but didn't want to cause a scene that was going to cause the beauty any troubles so they decided to keep their cool until someone else that was quite popular eventually walked by.

Riley was a little bit stunned. He barely knew the stranger yet she was willing to give him something worth over two hundred dollars.

"It's nothing." She added unbottling hers.

"What are you doing here all alone though?" She inquired with twitching brows.

Riley was a little bit confused not knowing what to say. However, before he could say anything, he could hear a voice coming after him right from behind.

"Claire. What do you think that you are doing talking to Errand boy?". A forced voice came from behind.

Another stunning lady casting a look of disgust at Riley stepped forward before pushing her gaze back to Riley.

However she was not as beautiful as the first lady that had walked in. Though she tried to make it up with the excessive accessories that were laced all over her body and the way too exposing dress that she was putting on too.

"I know that you are a new transfer student but didn't you see that rage that passes for clothes in his eyes? Do you think that he is even worth your time?"

"Shouldn't you be trying to get back to Carter?" She ranted further. And Claire frowned.

"I told you. I don't want anything to do with that arrogant bitch anymore and nothing is going to stop that." Claire replied, already getting on the edge hearing this name more than once.

Most people hearing this conversation were stunned hearing these words. Even though they didn't know who this Carter of a person was, they could tell that he was from a very powerful family and someone not to mess with.

"And what's that?" Jane snared at Riley.

"She bought you soda and you dare to accept it?"  She quickly snapped it off from his hands.

"I never want to see you anywhere close to Claire again, talking to her or I am going to make sure that you pay for it." She thundered angrily.

"If I ever see you doing any of the things that I have listed earlier, I am going to get someone to beat up that poor bitchy ass of yours. Don't even breath the same air as hers." She glared expecting that Riley was going to start running off from the place, however, he was still seated.

"What are you still doing there? Did I just tell you to scream or do you have a death wish?" She blotted with her anger ever increasing slightly.

At this, Riley could no longer withhold his frown anymore.

He knew that he was trying to keep a low profile to enjoy the last moments that he still had to spare with his friends.

However, that didn't mean that he was going to allow anyone who didn't even come close to himself to trample on him like a coward.

Even before he passed the test of the family to become a billionaire, he was never a coward to scram away from bullies and he didn't plan for that to start happening just yet 

"What's your deal? If you feel that this Carter guy is too good. Why don't you go for him? Or do you feel that you are not up to par facially?" He inquired with a glitch in his eyes.

Everyone was stunned hearing these words and their jaws already falling to the temple of their feet.

"Did he just say those words to the leader of the pink panther? Has he eventually gone mad?" The crowd of mostly female students was in a daze.

The pink panther was one of the most powerful female groups compared to three students of whom Jane was a leader.

Her face was still hot red, looking like it was going to go up in flames. The situation between them has just been described in a few words.

"You! How dare you speak to me in such a manner. I am going to make sure that you pay for it."

Jane drew her hands, ready to slap Riley across the face but her hands were stopped halfway through the air.

And this time, it was not by Riley. Rather it was by Claire. Jane's eyes bulged and she soared with rage unable to believe her eyes...

Most people that were around had already brought out their cell phones from their pockets and school groups going up on a rampage.

"Two stunning Ladies fighting over Errand boy. Jane, the pink panther leader and the transfer hottie."

"If anyone had told me that this was going to happen right before my eyes, I would never have believed it." Another Student muttered

"Are you going to be on my bad side because of this piece of metallic trash?" Jane muttered staring into Claire's eyes with a deep frown to her face.

"As at the moment. He is my guest. I won't allow you to lay a hand on him because of me." She threw her hands away.

Jane was frowning with so much fury rising in her but there was nothing that she could do 

Until they heard the sound of a few cars stopping and a young boy almost the same age as Riley stepped out of the car.

He wore a deep frown over his face and most people that were around gasped at the recognition of who it was.

"This can't be happening. Is that Carter?" They were stunned.

Seeing this person, the grip around Claire's heart tightened a little bit. Not because of herself, not mostly for Riley.

Carter was known to be a very ruthless person, especially to people that were underneath him.

"No! I can't allow someone else to pay for my mistake. I started all of these and I will have to finish it." She straightened herself up and stared directly at Carter.

"What are you doing here?" She inquired quickly.

However, he ignored her questions and his attention firmly focused on Riley who was striking a model pose with his face high up in the air.

"You dumped me because of him?" Carter's voice was filled with rage as he spoke.

    The ladies walked out of the hall with Charles, the cold night air outside feeling much calmer after the chaos inside. None of them spoke at first. The sound of their heels on the pavement echoed softly as they moved toward the parking area.Lixxypie finally let out a long breath and shook her head.“I still can’t believe Collins would go that far,” she said. “Involving minors? That’s beyond disgusting.”Sapphire crossed her arms, her expression still tense.“Good thing you noticed in time,” she said to Charles. “If that went on any longer, this could have landed you in prison with no way out. Those charges were serious.”Serena looked at him quietly for a moment before speaking.“Please… just be more careful next time,” she said softly.Charles smiled faintly and nodded.“Sure,” he said. “I will.”Natasha suddenly clicked her tongue in annoyance.“I’m just angry about one thing,” she said. “Why did you even help her? After everything she did to you? She humiliated you, compared you t

    Tracy’s vision blurred as the officer’s words sank in. She stared at Collins in disbelief.“So… all this time…” her voice trembled, “you were trying to dupe me?”Her heart began beating faster.If this was true… everything would have been over for her.She had been preparing to sign her entire company to him as part of the so-called partnership deal.If Collins had succeeded, he would have sold the company and disappeared. Her entire life would have been ruined.Tracy felt a chill run through her body.She looked at him desperately.“Is… is that true?” she asked.Collins gulped.His face was pale and his lips trembled slightly.“Wait… listen to me…” he stammered. “It’s… it’s not like that…”The police officer cut him off immediately.“Don’t even try to deny it,” he said sternly. “We already know everything.”The officer looked at him coldly.“You contacted someone to secretly purchase Ms. Tracy’s company after the transfer was complete. We already have that person’s statement.”The en

    Collins’ face had already turned pale, yet he kept shaking his head stubbornly.“No… no… this isn’t real,” he muttered. “I didn’t do it.”Even with the clear recording echoing through the hall, he continued denying it. His head moved repeatedly from side to side as if refusing to accept the reality in front of him.“I didn’t do it,” Collins insisted louder. “This is fake! Charles fabricated everything!”The police officer’s expression darkened.He had already heard enough.Slowly, the officer turned toward the two girls standing beside him. His face was stern now, and the patience in his eyes had completely disappeared.“Look,” the officer said coldly, his voice sharp and commanding. “You two are minors. The law is already willing to give you some leniency because of that.”The girls froze.“But if you continue lying to the police,” he continued, “you will spend even more time in jail. So think carefully before you speak again.”The two girls gulped nervously.Their earlier confidence

    Charles felt like disappearing after the words left his mouth. Serena, the beauty who had rejected countless powerful men, just agreed to be his fiancee?.Hearing this, Fred grew angry, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at him. “What audacity! Who are you to say such a thing to Ms. Serena? You want to die?”Charles tried to stay calm and cool. Serena didn’t stop Fred; she just stared at him before asking, “You’re asking me to be engaged to you because you saved my life? I should have known you had something mischievous up your sleeve when you showed up so suddenly,” Serena said softly.Charles swallowed. “No… I didn’t save you for that. I… I just want to stay by your side. To protect you.” He didn’t even know what he was saying, he kept slipping.Fred’s face went red with fury. “Ms. Serena can protect herself…let alone with us, her bodyguards around. We are over two hundred. Say something like that again and I will blow your head off.”Charles managed to gather courage and said, “

    “What the hell are you doing here!” Tracy yelled as soon as she set her eyes on Charles.Charles stared at her, debating whether to tell her what he had just witnessed. He even had the evidence…it wouldn’t be hard to prove it to her. Part of him wanted to let her know; she didn’t deserve this, even despite their broken relationship and her betrayal.“Tracy…” he began.Tracy immediately cut him off. “Just hang it there. So, you are here to apologize, huh? I knew you would come back. I knew you would regret it! Now you have no place to sleep, and here you are.”Charles couldn’t believe Tracy was still stuck in her own delusions, convincing herself that he would come crawling back.“Who told you I’m here to come back?” Charles shot back.“Isn’t that what you are here for? Your little plan yesterday failed! How could you present a fake ring, thinking you could win Serena’s heart and buy your way out of your filthy, poverty-stricken life? Haha! They must have found out it was fake. Your pl
