The stolen Scholarship.Zachary held the rose flower and the box of chocolates in admiration. He just could not get it off his head that he was finally going to propose a relationship with Emily. He was going to express his feelings for her. He had been nursing this feeling for a very long time and was looking for the right time and opportunity to tell her how much he had loved her. He only prayed that she also feels the same way he does.Well, judging from the way she looks and cares for him, he had concluded that she loved him too.On sighting the school bullies, Duncan and his cohorts, he immediately hid the items inside his mini bag and headed towards the School auditorium where the graduation ceremony would be held.One of Duncan's friends tapped him on the shoulder. "Look over there, it's the loser, Zack. I think he hid something inside his bag. Let's go confront him.""There won't be any need for that." Duncan replied to his friend, dismissing his suggestion with an evil smile

I did it for my grandson.Zachary's heart skipped for a bit as he exited the restaurant in a haste leaving the other workers flabbergasted. He would have the manager to contend with as he did not inform him before leaving. As he stepped out to hail a cab, a Hyundai car pulled over before him and the occupants was none other than Emily and Duncan.The seems to be like glue, always sticking together.Stepping down from the car, Emily approached Zachary who walked away to hail a cab but unfortunately for him, no vehicles were stopping for him.Fate seems to be against him today. First, his father had been rushed to the hospital, now it was Emily before him and no cab was stopping for him to get away from her taunts.Pretending not to notice her, Emily got to where he was to insult him as usual with Duncan following behind."Look who we bumped into Duncan, Same old Zach. Still poor and wretched." Emily scoffed and Duncan responded with a mocking smile.Zachary just stared at them indiffe

You better watch your back As he spoke, his voice was hoarse. If Carlos Paddington was close by, he would have been torn into shreds.Kelvin held him by the shoulder, gradually lowering him to his seat in consolation."Calm down Zachary, you will see your father soon and when he is ready to face you. For now, there are more important things I want you to focus on."Just as Kelvin was still speaking, May walked in with a glass of Cranberry juice. Walking to place it at the table before Zachary, She said. "I made fresh Cranberry juice for my grandson.""Come on, go on and try it. You would definitely love it."Zachary thanked her for the gesture. Just what he needed to calm his anger. Especially as it is his favorite juice. He really admired the old lady, though she was stricken with age, she still looked strong and even cooks.Indeed she was a strong lady."We have over a dozen domestic staff in this Mansion, yet you prefer to stress yourself with house chores." Kelvin scolded his wif

Keep your guards up.The hall was thrown into Chaos as the noise came up again. Surprise and confusion were all plastered on their faces. John got hold of his daughter just in time as she staggered on her feet. Her heartbeat rose above normal. Because there was confusion in the air, people did not really notice Emily who almost fell to the ground.From where he was standing, John stared at Zachary in bewilderment. Although he dressed simple, he looked different.Zachary did not really notice the other employees. As he scanned through the crowd, his sight caught Emily and her father. He smiled as they avoided his gaze."Well, this young man here is my grandson and you don't need to know why he does not bear the surname Paddington." Kelvin's voice interrupted them."So from now onward, I'm officially stepping down as CEO. I would let your new CEO address you now."Zachary felt chill run through his spine. How would he address these people? He had never been in a position of power befor

I'm in love with you Zach.Stone waited for him to explain further before taking action."I've just been insulted by this waiter and the manager."Stone's face suddenly darkened on hearing what Zachary just said.Zachary left Stone to sort things out as he headed for the car."Well, I'm sorry to say this. You are both fired. You just insulted the owner of this bar. Next time, be more careful with your choice of words." Stone told the manager and the waiter at everyone's dismay.Shocked, they immediately fell to their knees to plead."Sir, please pardon us. It won't happen again. Please beg the young master on our behalf." They pleaded but it fell on deaf ears."It's too late now." Leaving the duo still on their knees pleading, Stone joined Zachary in the car and it Zoomed off immediately.Zachary had just been informed that the bar belonged to his grandfather and those two had the temerity to insult him. They were more unfortunate that he was not in a good mood.It was 7pm in the ev
