Campus Bullying

“In a world ruled by monsters, the weak don’t die, they’re forgotten.” I was invisible unless they needed someone to humiliate. They broke my bones. The tyrants of Aegis killed my only friend. But that day, when my blood touched the floor, something inside me awakened. A voice. A system. A power that whispered: “Adapt. Survive. Ascend.” Now I’m not the prey anymore. I’m the beginning of something they can’t control. The government thinks they own the monsters. The hunters think they own the city. Worse, the bullies at Aegis Academy think they have all the power. Big fishes in little ponds.  They are wrong. I will rise to the top, I'll overturn the hierarchy, failures will become alphas. I’ll bring anarchy upon them because I can. Because the real monster… is learning to hunt back. Watch them learn what Apex truly means.

In the parking lot of Ifewood University, students were trickling in and out of the Mozambique hostel for female students.  James Keenan, a charismatic postgraduate student of business known as a "Campus Bad Boy," was infamous through his undergraduate days as a con man, sly, and a member of the university cult, The Eagles.  His piercing eyes rove up and down the road as he tries to select his pick for the night. The Eagles were throwing a party on the outskirts of town tonight.  Most students had returned home as school was officially on summer break.  James sat in Shane's car with Gabriel, Austin, and Shane, all members of the same cult, smoking, and each man nursing his own thoughts about the party tonight. Beatrice Kenan was coming back from the library, dressed in a simple yellow tank top, blue jeans, and denim canvas. Her bag was strapped to her shoulder, and her mind was in turmoil. She wondered, How on earth could she fail the simplest of her courses? Professor Bam must definitely be a certified bastard to have failed her. How is she ever going to pass this course without succumbing to his threats and advances? Just as she thought of picking up her phone from her bag to call her friend Yvonne, she came into James's vision. Who is she?  Definitely the one.  As far as James was concerned, the night was set for the Eagles. None of them could have imagined what destiny planned for the future, as love, betrayal, and deception set the pace in this love triangle.

They called him trash. A charity case. The broke scholarship kid who didn’t belong. Robert was used to surviving off scraps, laughed at, stepped on, and ignored. But the day his mother collapsed in a hospital bed, and he begged his so-called friends for help, they didn’t just turn him away… they crushed him. Publicly. Brutally. And then his phone rang. One call. Just one. In an instant, the life of the school's poorest boy shattered—and reformed into something no one saw coming. Robert Hayman was gone. In his place stood Robert McAfee… heir to the world’s most powerful hidden dynasty. Now, the tables have turned. The boy they mocked is about to become the nightmare they can’t escape. Let the reckoning begin...

Owen and Kate met when they were both in college. Then, Owen was one of the richest guys on campus, from the prestigious Sinclair family. The Steele family was also a rich one, though not as rich as the Sinclairs. The patriarchs of both families were friends and arranged for both their heirs to get married right out of college, since they already seemed to get along. Maria, Kate's mother was thrilled she got to call the most eligible bachelor in the city her son-in-law. Things go smoothly until Owen's father and grandfather both die in an airplane crash, leaving Owen alone, with his stepmother and stepbrother for company. Owen's step-relatives had always been jealous and had never liked him, so when the leaders of the Sinclair family were suddenly absent, they took advantage of the fact, kicking Owen out of the house and depriving him of his inheritance. Owen no longer had the wealth that had buoyed him for so long, and found himself helpless. The Steeles we're unhappy with the turn of events, and over the years, they seemed to forget whom Owen once was. They insulted and mistreated him, even turned his own wife against him. Kate cheated on Owen countless times, and treated him with disregard until one day, Owen suddenly got fed up and left. Imagine the shock on all their faces when he returns richer and more powerful than ever before. Deception will peak as everyone fights to get back in his good books.

************ For years, Adrian Hayes had been nothing more than a ghost at Northvale University. Despite his sharp mind and top grades, he was nothing but a scholarship student, a nobody among the elite. The rich kids mocked him, his professors barely noticed him, and even his so-called friends only stuck around when they needed help with their assignments. But the worst betrayal came from the one person he had trusted—Sophia Lancaster. The girl he had secretly loved, the girl who once smiled at him in the library, humiliated him in front of the entire campus, choosing to be with Nathan Sterling, the heir to the Sterling Corporation. "You? Compete with Nathan? Don’t be ridiculous. You’ll always be a pathetic charity case," Sophia scoffed, her hand laced with Nathan’s. Adrian had never felt more worthless. But everything changed the next morning when a single notification appeared on his phone. "Congratulations, Adrian Hayes. You are the sole heir to the Hayes Fortune. Your assets have been unlocked." Thinking it was some cruel joke, he clicked the link. Within seconds, his bank account balance surged to $50 million. Now, armed with wealth, power, and an identity no one saw coming, Adrian returns—not as the quiet, overlooked student, but as someone they’ll never forget. This time, he’s the one in control. The tables have turned. Nathan Sterling will fall. Sophia will regret her choices. And Northvale University will witness the rise of the Rejected Genius. Will Adrian use his newfound fortune for revenge, or will he prove that the best success is living well?
