"How could I have been so foolish, how did I not know that he lost his father, how did I not know that this was not a good time how?" Laura questioned herself."I am very sorry about that, I had no idea," she said and Tristan responded with a shrug."Of course, you wouldn't know that, you are more interested in seeking something that you will not find, good luck with that." He shook his legs from her hand and was about to walk away when he paused and called on one of the securities on standby."Get her out of here, and never again let her into my house," he ordered and walked away without turning back to look at her face."Tristan please, I am so sorry about your father's death, can I at least see your mother, she'll need someone to console her, please Tristan... Don't you touch me you stupid security." she snapped at the security who tried to get her to leave.She ran towards Tristan and kept on pleading." My mother doesn't need any form of consoling from you, Laura, she is fine and

"He must be out of his mind to think he'll pay for everything well take here," someone laughed almost choking on his rice."I am not joking, I want to know how much it'll cost to pay for everyone's body's food, I'll double that and pay it to you," Tristan said in a stern tone and this got Lewis agitated."What do you think this is? a joke? just pay for your father's food and get out of here, don't brag about the little hundred dollars that you probably stole."Unable to take the insults any longer, Tristan gave Lewis a resounding slap without thinking about it and there was a loud gasp amongst the customers."You idiot!" Lewis insulated and raised his hand to retaliate but Tristan caught his hand mid-air and held onto his wrist so tightly with his system-given strength.He never thought it would work out so well especially since the system had shut down for twenty-four hours, but it worked so well that Lewis was wincing in so much pain unable to say a word.Some customers who had stoo

"How?" Marie exclaimed in shock, she was aware, however, that others were trying to rest in the ward so she made sure not to shout too loudly."How what?" Tristan asked her with a raised brow.Marie couldn't utter a word, she was left speechless as she stared at her senior from Middle school. She remembered how he was one of the most wretched students, his clothes were worn out, and his shoes were pleading to be thrown into the garbage.She remembered how he was a constant victim of the bullies and was made to do a lot of dirty jobs on behalf of others because of his status, so as she stared at him, she couldn't believe her eyes."What brought you back to this place? I thought you left the country to New York, you said you were relocating." Tristan asked, taking his seat on the bed next to her. Tristan has known Marie only because she was the biggest school diva, her bad attitude caused a lot of students to dislike her, but her parent's financial status kept them closer.She enjoyed

They had just arrived home when Tristan received an unexpected phone call from Jennes, he stared at the screen and felt disturbed. The last thing he wanted was another lady flirting with him but at the same time, he did not want to conclude that it was the reason so he picked up the call."Hello Jennes," he placed the phone on his ear as he walked slowly into the living room."Good day sir, " she greeted him from the other side of the phone."How are you?" He asked and she retorted briskly,"I'm fine sir. I was calling to let you know that I am in the country and just wanted to know where I should come from the funeral sir, if it's not too much to ask."Tristan was dump-founded, he couldn't believe that Jennes left Florida just to attend his father's funeral, That was thoughtful of her but she hoped something was not amiss, or that she had no future expectations."Uhm... that was very nice of you Jennes, thank you so much for thinking about that... I don't know what to say, to be hone

The blessings service ended and the mass began to disperse, sadness followed as Tristan's father's coffin was moved into a car to be taken to the cemetery.As for Laura, she sat inside the car all the while in disappointment, knowing fully well that she wouldn't be allowed inside the church no matter how much she begged or argued, she decided to wait outside until they were leaving for the cemetery.Jennes on the other hand, whilst sitting far away from Tristan tried to figure out who that lady was. She tried to convince herself that it was Tristan's sister, but the chemistry between them caused her to think otherwise and her assumption was verified after the mass was over when Claudia hugged Tristan passionately and wiped the tears off the corner of his eyes.Now outside, Jennes forced her way through the crowd of eminent personalities hoping to catch up with Tristan who was far ahead. When she was close up, she had to wait a little to see him because he was discussing with another m
