“What Is going on? Why are there a lot of students at the door?” Damson whispered to his friends, confusion etched on his face.
“I don't know, I think it's best if we open the door before they break it.” Fred said as he opened the door.Damson was surprised to see a number of students at the door. What surprised him more was the fact that they all looked angry and ready to pounce on him.“Where have you been all day?” One of the male students asked, as he faced Damson angrily.“You think you can just promise us dinner and get away with it.” Another voice said“Leave him!” He thinks he can just stay in his room and act like he did nothing? He wants to take us as fools?”“Wait guys, I didn't promise anyone dinner.” Damson said, looking around in confusion.“Oh please, cut the crap. Do we look like we're here to joke with you? You think you can just play us?”“You promised the students in the cafeteria free dinner then you ran away.”“You really think you can escape?” The male student, Max, said as he moved closer to Damson, his fist clenched.Damson was confused. He didn't remember promising anyone dinner and he for sure knew he didn't promise a number of students free food.“I think you should just go with them, Damson.” Fred said, whispering as he was worried they could beat the three of them up in the room.Damson ran his hands over his face. He had a long day and the plan was to have a hot shower and sleep.“Can I at least freshen up before I leave with you guys?” Damson asked“No! They all exclaimed.“We leave this place together, right now!”Damson was frustrated. He hesitated for a while, before agreeing to follow the students back to the cafeteria.When they got to the cafeteria, Damson was surprised to see a large number of students. He didn't understand what was going on.“How did he promise a large number of people dinner without him remembering?”He looked around to see everyone looking at him, smiling smugly.“The loser is here.” A familiar voice said, making Damson roll his eyes.“Not again.” He thought to himself. It was Caleb.“We're glad to have you join us.” he said laughing loudly, making all the students join him.“Wait, did you tell the students to lie to me to get me here?” Damson asked, as it dawned on him that there was nothing like a free dinner.Caleb wanted him to come back to the cafeteria for one of his sick games.“Aw, the loser is catching up.” Caleb said, laughing as he sipped his drink. He looked like he was in a good mood.“I'm done here! I'm tired of your sick games. If you want to play, play with yourself and others.”“Count me out.” Damson said coldly as he tried to leave the cafeteria but was blocked by some students.“Running away?” Caleb teased.“You should fulfill your promise before you leave, I mean, remember you promised us dinner.”“I promised no one dinner.” Damson said, gritting his teeth.“You clearly lied to them that I promised them dinner so you could get them to get me down here. I know what you did.”“Oh, poor Damson. Just say you cannot afford the dinner and we'll understand.”"All you just have to say is that you are poor and you cannot afford to get us dinner"“No need to try to fight it. It's okay to be poor and wretched.” Caleb said, smiling smugly at him.“This isn't why I brought you here though.” Caleb continued, smirking. “Wait for the big surprise.”Damson was so over Caleb's taunt and wanted to leave but the students stood firmly at the door, blocking his path.He knew he had zero chance of escaping.“Attention guys.” Caleb shouted as he hit a spoon on the glass cup he was carrying. You all are here for a reason.“My girlfriend Mia, has been asking me for something for a while, something she couldn't get from her past lover.” He continued making all eyes turn to look at Damson.“What is it!?”“It must be a car?”“No, I think it's a luxury bag!”“What if it's a designer shoe?”Everyone was muttering amongst themselves, eager to know what Caleb must have gotten for Mia.They all stood on their toes, making sure they didn't miss out on seeing what he wanted to give her.Caleb brought out a box, opening it to reveal a sparkling gold ring.“It's not just any ring but a ring made by Aurora's embrace. It has a flawless diamond at the center and the band is pure gold.” He said proudly as he handed the box to Mia“Wow!”“Caleb really outdid himself!”“That ring is so expensive, not anyone can afford it”“I wish my boyfriend was like Caleb, so sweet, loving and rich!”“Caleb is such a dream boyfriend!”“Mia is so lucky!”“I'm jealous!!”Everyone in the cafeteria exclaimed in excitement and envy.“Oh my God.” Mia gushed. “I can't believe you got me the ring I've always wanted. This is a dream come true”She turned to Caleb and planted a soft kiss on his lips. “Thank you so much baby, thank you.” she said, emotionally.Mia's friends rushed up to her as they wanted to see a closer view of the ring.“This is so pretty.” Betty, one of Mia's friends, said as she held the ring.“Do you see why I told you to leave that good for nothing Damson?”“He would have never been able to get you this, not in his lifetime.” she continued.“I know right!” Mia exclaimed. “I'm so glad I left him.”“I dated him out of pity and I couldn't do that anymore. He's so poor that all he could ever buy for me was just 1 dollar sandwiches. Can you imagine?” She retorted.Students in the cafeteria laughed out loud, pointing at Damson who just watched.“I'm sure he's wishing he was the one that got her the ring.” Max said, laughing loudly.“A poor man can only dream. He would have to work all his life to be able to afford that ring. Funny thing is, he might still not be able to afford it.” Another voice said, making everyone burst into a fit of laughter.“I'm so glad I chose you Caleb. So glad I left the poorest student in the school for you.” Mia said smiling to Caleb who was satisfied with the reaction he got from Mia.“I would always treat you as the queen that you are, I promiseto give you the world. A beauty like you doesn't deserve to be with someone like Damson.”“He can't give you the life that you want.” Caleb said loudly, making sure Damson could hear him.Damson was angry and pained as he watched the scene before him.He was angry that Caleb brought him out of his room on purpose so he could watch him give Mia a gift and he was pained Mia never loved him as he loved her.Out of anger, he grabbed a glass of water, walked towards Mia, making sure no one suspected his move and spilled water on the ring.

“I worked all my life for your father,” Luis began, his voice filled with bitterness. “Tirelessly helped him build Stellarcorp from the ground up. And when the company became big, he still used me like a fool.”“I didn’t mind at first,” he continued. “I treated Stellarcorp like it was mine too. Gave it everything. But then, out of nowhere, he decides to look for his long-lost son, to give you the company.”Luis scoffed.“He didn’t even ask me what I thought. Didn’t care. Just ordered me to find you and hand it all over. To make it worse, he told me to watch over you while you ran the company. Can you imagine that? Me, the man who brought Stellarcorp to fame, reduced to your babysitter.”“The company should have been mine, not yours. Your father’s lucky he died when he did, helping you escape. It was supposed to be you six feet under, not him. But you were just lucky that day. My men did a sloppy job.”Suddenly, a voice rang out.“Enough of your talk, just kill this bastard already!”

“Am I in a moving car? I’m definitely in one.” Damson thought to himself as he opened his eyes groggily. He tried to sit up and realized he was in the trunk of a car. He banged on it several times, trying to get it open, but it wouldn’t budge. He began to sweat, helpless and disoriented, forced to wait until someone decided to open it.“Who did this to me? What happened?”“Why can’t I remember being put in the trunk?” Is Maria okay? Was she also shoved into another car?”So many questions ran through Damson’s head. He was confused. His head felt heavy, too big to carry.He eventually laid back down and decided to wait until the car stopped. After about twenty minutes of pure torture, the car finally came to a halt. Damson let out a small sigh of relief. He heard muffled voices outside, and then suddenly, the trunk flung open.He blinked against the light and tried to sit up, but his body failed him. He couldn’t move. No matter how hard he tried, only his head responded. “What the he

Damson couldn’t leave the Wilsons just like that after finding out what Mr. Wilson had done for him. The man saved his life, and the least Damson could do was help the family with the funeral preparations. He paid for all the expenses and also gave them a large sum of money to sustain them for a long time. He even advised Logan to invest wisely.He had wanted to stay longer, but Logan asked him not to. His mother and sister would only feel more pain with him around. His presence would be a constant reminder of what happened to their father, and they didn’t need that. Damson understood and didn’t push further so he left.At first, he decided to head to his apartment, but then he changed his mind and went to the dorm instead. He hadn’t been there in a while, and he wanted to see his friends, Luke and Fred. They had reached out to him several times, asking where he was and why he hadn’t been around. At the time, he couldn’t tell them he was married, so he just told them he had gone job

Maria sat in the car, fiddling with her fingers, random thoughts flying through her mind as she stared out the window. Kate was seated beside her, and two other men were in the car with them.She didn’t fully understand what she was doing or what she had just agreed to but one thing was clear, she couldn’t die because of someone else.Damson would do the same, right? Maria wondered, now biting her nails.He’d choose survival too, even if it meant putting me in danger… right? Anyone would… right? She was disturbed.“But Damson betrayed me too. He treated me like a fool, lied to me, and deceived me. I thought that we were close, that our bond was real.”“Had he been acting all along?”“How is he even the president of StellarCorp? When did that happen?”“He was the poorest student in school. So how? It doesn’t make sense.” Maria’s thoughts raced, growing angrier by the second.“I could’ve gotten more opportunities. I could’ve had a good job in his company. I was close to him! But he de

“What! No, no, please don’t kill me. Please don’t,” Maria cried, scared for her life. Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. She was scared, disturbed, and deeply worried and she couldn’t help but be angry at Damson for dragging her into his mess.She was in this situation because of him.“Caleb and the boss want Damson dead, and now, because of him, I’m going to die too.” She thought to herself. “Where’s Kate?” the boss asked, ignoring Maria’s cries.“Since the last time she almost got caught by Damson, Kate had been lying low.” One of the men replied. “Tell her to come here right now. She has someone to get rid of.”“Is that really the next thing you’re supposed to do? I don’t care what you do with Maria, but can it wait till we finish off Damson? Why are you wasting time killing people you’re not supposed to!?” Caleb asked the boss, frustrated.“It’s your fault this is happening!” the boss snapped. “I told you nobody was supposed to know that Damson is the president of Stel
