The hotel room was super nice, with shiny wooden furniture and comfy leather chairs. Big windows showed off a cool view of the city, and a fancy light hung from the ceiling. In this way, Julius's dad sat at a big desk surrounded by cool art, making the whole place feel really fancy. As his father was seated, Julius also took his seat in the comfy leather chairs adjacent to his father’s desk. Right beside him was a coffee pot, and he poured himself a cup. “Been a while since I had a nice cup of coffee, dad,” Julius voiced at once. “Well, poverty training is meant to be rigorous. When I had mine, I wished every day that the training would be over and I could get back to my normal lifestyle,” his dad smiled; hence, he rose slowly from the table after picking up a document from his desk. “Son, it's time to get at it now. You are now a man, and definitely, you must start to run part of the family’s business." His father handed the document in his hand to him immediately and grabbed a sea

“I can afford everything,” Julius answered almost immediately, his voice low and resonating with such confidence that Olivia had never seen before.However, if this meant that they agreed with him, it was a lie. “You? Do you mean you, Julius, can afford everything?” Olivia smirked loudly behind her mother, where she was, and she wasn't the only one with an audible smirk.“Perhaps he meant that after he stole from Fortuna Elite Bank, the one you said you saw him before, he would be able to afford everything,” Olivia’s grandmother voiced from behind Patricia, and hence, they all burst into loud laughter once again.“Let's just leave this dummy and go on in. God! Pfft!” Olivia’s younger brother rolled his eyes like a girl and scoffed upon hearing what his grandmother said.“You know, it's a good thing that you all are a family. Patricia, Cynthia, Mildred, Olivia, and even you, Ethan. A bunch of poor opportunists who think of themselves as privileged,” Julius voiced suddenly.“Pfft! And y

The next morning unfolded slowly, like a snail on a journey to a distant destination, taking its time as if reluctant to face the day ahead.Similarly, Julius was reluctant to rise from bed. It had been a long while since he had such a comfortable bed to sleep on, and he had slept perfectly soundly, like a newborn baby."Rise and shine, sir." Mr. Turner drew the curtain, and his previously darkened room was filled with the gaze of the sunrise, abruptly interrupting his sleep."What are you doing here?" Julius immediately opened his sleepy eyes. As he saw that the sunrise targeted his face like a group of snipers over a rooftop, he covered his face with his palm."What the heck, Mr. Turner?" he exclaimed once again."I sincerely apologize, sir, for interrupting your sleep, but do remember that I am not only your personal guard. I am also your assistant. And right now, you need to be ready for the tutor.""What tutor?" Julius asked, his face expressing total confusion about what Mr. Tur

Inside the lecture theater, the lecturer was standing a few inches away from his projector, and he was also pointing at his projection to guide his explanation of the particular topic he was lecturing about.It was at this moment that Julius opened the door suddenly, and everyone in the lecture theater turned to look at him, including Olivia and Alexander, who were obviously sitting together.In this instance, each student, including the lecturer, was shocked to see how Julius looked anew and different. With each stare at him, Julius could see that their eyes told a new story about him.Silence prevailed at this moment; the only thing that made a sound was Olivia’s heart, beating faster as if in trepidation. Once Julius peered at her, he could see regret dancing in her eyes, as even Alexander was not as cute as Julius in this different form. None of the students in the class matched his handsomeness, and no guy in the school could stand his cuteness."Ju ... Julius,” her shivered voic

“I apologize for this, Alexander. I want to assure you that this will not happen again,” the Vice Chancellor said immediately. Consequently, Julius saw both of them exchange handshakes as they both stood up.“Oh! I forgot, sir, Olivia is not with these two,” Alexander quickly added.“I can see that, Alexander. Don’t worry, you may leave while I deal with these two brats,” the Vice Chancellor said immediately.“What?” Julius exclaimed again. He could not believe what he just heard the vice chancellor of the university call them. Nevertheless, the way he exclaimed his shock didn't mean that Alexander did not leave the office with Olivia.As they were leaving, Alexander looked Julius in the eyes and smirked at him like a cunning fox. "Olivia, come." He called; thus, Olivia walked right to him, and he smirked once again, looking right at Julius."Are you jealous?" He mocked. He then purposely held Olivia’s hand as they were walking to the office exit door. Suddenly, they stopped once they
