"What are you talking about?" Liuet's eyes farrowed, the spike running faster through his vines.
Ariel drew a step closer towards him and stared at him in the eyes. "You think that I don't know?"
"I was just a stepping stone for you to become rich by selling your kidney. The doctor told me everything about it."
Lut was engrossed in his confusion trying to make sense of what she was saying while the pain increased even more.
How Richard here provided the money to buy over your kidney and you readily agreed to that." She frowned.
Luiet could not believe his hearings. After all the pain that he had to go through, his efforts were seen as a waste.
"Lair, how dare you come up with such a lie." Luiet shot up at Richard but the pain soon pulled him back.
He was finding it difficult that someone would come up with such a lie to separate him from his girlfriend.
And to think that he looked so Innocent pissed him more. Wishing that he could tear off that face of his.
"Stop being so dramatic, already stink and have some sort of delicacy for once in your life." Ariel glared.
"With or without this, I would have broken up with you already." She replied and walked over to Richard, giving him a passionate kiss on the lips.
There was pain in his eyes that the one that he loved most was not going to believe her rather than another person
"Are you even going to believe a stranger over me? After all the years that we have known each other?" He blotted out.
"Strangers?" Richard scoffed.
"I knew her right from day one. Three years ago, your delusion lost her virginity to me, so you see, we are only coming out to make our relationship open." Richard replied with a smirk.
"If we were so blinded that you didn't even realize who the true stranger was. You!" He burst out into laughter.
Every part of Lut's being was torn into shreds. Everything that he had believed was all lies. He was still lost in his stare, unable to speak.
For a while, Luiet was dumbstruck, unable to speak. He turned over to Ariel, the grief too heavy for him to bear.
'No... It could not be true... That the world that he had always believed and held onto was a lie.'
"Tell me it's not true Ariel.." He yelled not caring about the pain that he felt anymore but still trying to hold it back as much as he could.
Ariel's words were cold and she chuckled. "It was funny how you kept fooling yourself around me, thinking that we had a future together."
"The truth has always been before you but you were just way too blinded. The truth is, we never had a relationship. With your basket shoes and three-quarter shorts that never turn old. Jeez!" She emphasized and everyone there burst out into laughter at his detriment.
Her words were like a cold stab through his chest. His grief had now grown to the extent that he could no longer express it.
"Did you ever love me?"
"I'm carrying someone's child in me. I don't have time to spare for scumbags." She replied.
Luiet's pains increased as he stared at Richard with a smirk on his face. All these while, everyone had taken him for a coward.
He drew off from the spot and punched Richard in the face as he slammed back to the floor gritting his teeth.
A sorrowful smile twinkled on his lips, "I am sure that you know what's that for." He chuckled.
Everyone was stunned.
"Has he gone mad?"
"Look, Richard is even bleeding."
"Wow! This is one hell of a problem! We have to get out of this place as soon as possible."
"Has he gone mad? I am sure that he has a death wish that is certainly going to be fulfilled today."
OP
An air of commotion broke up through the crowd and some were already making their way out of the scene, knowing what exactly was going to happen next.
Richard blew up with fury, his face glowing hot red as he felt his mouth with his hands and could feel the warm sensation of his blood.
"You fool. I am going to make sure that you pay for this and I will send you to hell." He growled at Lut who only chuckled, not frightened even for a single moment.
He scoffed.
"Do your worst." He growled back angrily stamping on Richard's Nerves multiple times
'What exactly was the essence of living now?
"Whether by Richard or not, I am going to die anyway."
Richard brought out his cell phone and soon, a group of three armed gangs stormed the place, and the students pulled backward.
Richard's father was the Invincible king of the underworld and no one would dare to get on his nerves.
They all shook their heads out of pity. Everyone knew that he was as good as dead already...
"That's the punk that dared to touch me." Richard pointed out the Luiet...
The brutal men came to him with Richard in front as he smirked at Luiet for the very first time.
"Good luck on your journey to hell, and say hello to the devil for me." He added.
The brutes were about to strengthen him with a baton when a hand with a familiar aura crawled around him.
Emotions washed up through Liuet's face.
Arizona had run to search for his brother after she read the letter hidden in his backpack. She was broken, searching for her brother everywhere.
He has given up his life for another only for her to find this video trending in the hospital.
"How could you?" Arizona yelled at Ariel who paid deaf ears to her cries, and her heart stood as cold as a rock.
"After he gave up his life to save yours, this is really what you decide to pay him with." She yelled.
Ariel's brow twitched.
"Just another brainhole loser. I wonder how such people still exist." She spat on the floor, throwing away all the relationships that they had formed with each other through the years.
Arizona could not believe that it was Ariel who just shot those words out of her mouth.
If she hadn't been present and someone had told her, she would have not hesitated to give the person a firm slap across the face.
"Get off the way already a loser," Richard growled at her while Luiet was sweating with pain.
"I am not going to allow you to touch my brother. If you want to do that, then you have to get past me first." She replied.
"Awww, how cute." Richard sounded romantic and everyone burst out into laughter.
"Guess someone has chosen to see the devil first." He muttered in a really cute manner...
"I don't need to see the devil when I have seen you already." She growled at him with so much confidence in her voice.
The words angered Richard. He grabbed her away from Luiet slapping her severally on the face while she bled.
With the last stroke of strength that he had in him, Lieut yelled. "Noo..." As her sister collapsed to the floor a strand of tear escaped from his eyes.
He shot off from the floor and jerked towards Richard. Then a baton landed on a sensitive part of his head, sending him off miles away.
Lieut's eyes paired right with that of his sister's. He could feel Grim Reaper casting his shadows over him as he locked eyes with Arizona.
"If only second chances existed..."
"But was it going to make any difference?" He blinked twice and passed out.

No-one could stop him now. It was destiny.Grabbing his phone, he settled into the lush interior of the limo, then called the man whom he had been trying to reach for hours but had been unsuccessful time and time again because of the international call barrier.“Dad. I've been trying to reach you for days.”James Tillman smiled to himself as he heard the voice of his son. It was an unmatched feeling.It was called pride.“Yes son, same here.

Champagne and shadows
The yacht sailed on the sea next to the city, the backdrop of the lights giving it a depth of serenity that Lutenant had barely noticed before.He gazed at the city from the balcony of the yacht. Emotions threatened to boil over as he gazed.Once upon a time, he had muddled through mud in this city.At the moment, he was about to be the supreme ruler. The announcement was set to be made the next night in the city Square. News channels and journalists would be there.His life had changed out of the blue, and Lutenant James didn't know how to feel.“A penny for your thoughts?”Aurora joined him on the balcony. She bore two flutes filled with champagne, and smiled shyly at him. The fact that they had worked for weeks on end but even now she could barely look at him in the face without reddening completely was something that baffled him.He loved it though.“I just can't believe it. I did it. I pulled it off.”“From the first day you walked through the doors of your father's company, I kn
Ashes of yesterday
“I wish I could explain now. But I'm running late.”He retrieved his phone from his pocket, stared at the screen for a few seconds, then began to make his way as hurriedly as possible out of the hall.“Richard! Richard! We have a child together. Is this the married life we talked about?”She held onto his shirt, unable to believe that he would actually abandon her without an explanation.He shoved her, shaking his head in frustration.“I'll call you, I promise. I'll call you.”Her body racking with sobs, Ariel turned to the stage as Lutenant announced that the dinner was officially open.Even in the midst of numerous faces and people, she caught his eyes on her this time around. He didn't smile, his eyes never wavered. The stare he gave her was not one of victory or revenge.It was a stare of pity.*Richard grasped the steering wheel as he made his way towards the outskirts of the city.Damn Ariel.All she did was show up at the wrong moments. Why in heaven's name did she decide to
A new dawn
Ariel felt as if she had taken a massive blow to her gut.She doubled over, the lights from the cameras suddenly blurring her vision.Was this really happening? Was Lutenant James, the same man she had rejected for Richard, now the supreme ruler?It was at that moment that Ariel recognized the beautiful woman who had introduced him onto the stage. It was the same woman she had seen at the restaurant with him a few days ago.“Before I say anything,” Lutenant’s voice boomed across the hall. It wasn't the voice of a loser.It was the voice of a confident man.“Before I say anything, I want to personally thank each and everyone of you for honouring the invitations my company sent out. I know that some of you don't want to be here, and for those of you who took out time from your busy schedule to even come down here, I can't thank you less.”For a moment, Ariel felt his eyes rest on her table, and her heart pounded in terror.A thousand questions plagued her mind.Had he invited her person
The unmasking
Ariel arrived at the corporation after an Uber dropped her off, hoping she looked her best.Being pregnant had suddenly made her overly conscious of her appearance. Having a child was a good thing, but Ariel wasn't sure she was ready for the changes her poor body was about to undergo.The parking lot housed a lot of cars, and it made her wonder if she wasn't the only one who had received the strange invite.Grabbing her phone from the purse slung over her shoulder, she tried calling Richard again.When his number went into voicemail again, she swore under her breath.Where was he this time and why wasn't he picking his calls? Was she actually ready to spend the rest of her life with this man?“Welcome to the James corporation, Ma'am. Tonight's dinner is strictly based on invitation. Did you receive one?”Nodding, she retrieved the envelope that had been addressed to her.The towering unsmiling guard grabbed it and passed it to the smiling woman in a dark blue suit who confirmed that h
A crown in waiting
Sir? They've started coming in.”Lutenant turned to Aurora, who had gone home to change into something more dinner worthy.Her dark blue midnight gown graced her feet perfectly, and the heels she wore slightly made her look taller than she originally was.Lutenant wanted nothing more than to kiss her.But first things first, the dinner.“Thank you, Aurora. How are you?”“Very good, sir. I'm hoping tonight is a success. You've looked forward to it for a long time now.”Lutenant nodded, turning to look at the window which overlooked the city.A few months ago, he was a man disrespected, a man on the brink of having his life wrenched from beneath him. But here he was, about to take over the city. And he wasn't just going to take over, he was going to do it in style.“Thank you, Aurora. You can go now. Get the people ready.”When the door closed behind her, Lutenant opened his drawer and retrieved the ring his father had specifically mailed to him whilst he was still trying to find his fe
