Chapter 11
Benedict straightened his hands on the table. “Look, I know you’re a poor man and a loser but I’ve always thought you were an honest man so cut the crap about paying the dame 6 million dollars.” He told Henry. “I meant what I said.” Henry maintained. Benedict broke into a laugh. He pressed his lips into a thin line and looked intensely at Henry. Was Henry making fun of him? He wondered. “How can a scavenger of all people be so arrogant?” Benedict spat with a vicious face. His voice was ringing with disgust. He couldn’t take it anymore. He pointed a finger at Henry. “What do you mean by 6 million dollars? Look, we are all coursemates here so who do you want to impress?”Henry wasn’t bothered by the fact that Benedict was turning red. He ignored his hostile face and reached for the wine in Stacey’s hand. She passed it to him. He took a sip and handed it back to her. Benedict clenched his jaw. Henry sighed and threw his back against the chair. “Look, Benedict. I’m not a good acto

CHAPTER 12
The way Henry gave orders to Nate stating that the hotel’s top staff be assembled made him seem like the owner and it pissed Benedict off. Benedict sighed and was determined not to deal with Henry just yet. He would rather wait for him to make a fool of himself. Benedict sat and Bella settled right next to him. They began to whisper while Henry was stamping his left leg patiently. Stacey was simply enjoying the drama and while some of the students had resolved to chat and dine, others were determined not to move an inch for they were determined to see the last of Henry’s games. About ten minutes later, a knock landed on the glass door. As if their gazes were guided by a magical wand, everyone turned in that direction. A dignified man in a customized suit walked in. His black hair had receded and he was about 50 years of age. The man was Mr. Cross, Star Moon’s hotel manager. Not only was Mr. Cross a dignified staff in the hotel, but he was also a respected man in Marylyn and was

CHAPTER 13
Molly, who was standing next to Bella turned to her with stars in her eyes. “Wait, Henry bought Star Moon Hotel? Can you imagine how powerful he is?”The other students began to whisper among themselves. “Did Mr. Cross just refer to Henry as president?”“Can you imagine how rich he is to have secured this hotel?”“I don’t understand. How is all this even possible?”The students went on speaking. Jared slipped behind Benedict and walked up to Markus. They began to whisper to each other.“I think it’s time we accept the fact that he’s rich. The signs are everywhere.” Markus said with his arms folded across his chest.Everyone was staring in disbelief as the staff went on to introduce themselves to Henry. “If he was this rich then why did he spend his life picking up trash? This whole thing is driving me nuts.” Jared cried out. Molly moved away from Bella and stood before her colleagues. “Seems like Henry had been playing games with us all these while. Isn’t it evident that he’s ric

CHAPTER 14
Bella’s face was covered with a shocked reaction after Henry made the response. She then joined her palms together and went on begging him. Henry was disgusted by Bella’s actions. What does she take him for? A fool? He knew she was bent on getting back with him because of his newfound money. He shook his head. “I’m not as lowly as you are.” He then walked away, leaving behind a stunned Bella. Benedict was trying to keep his temper in check and possibly free himself from the humiliating position he was in. When he saw Bella hovering over Henry like a bear at the sight of honey, he wasn’t bothered but the determined Bella went running down the lobby after Henry with tears rolling down her cheeks. The students began to point at Benedict and giggle. “Get away from him, Bella!” Benedict yelled, shooing her like a dog. Mr. Cross turned to the students. “Party is over. What are you all still doing here?”They vanished. Meanwhile, one of the guards had arrived with a camp-size bed. He

Chapter 15
Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. He felt his arms wrapped around something or someone rather. When he darted his gaze down, he saw Stacey in his arms, smiling at him. She was tucked beneath the sheets just like him. The sheets were the only covering around them. Henry’s eyes widened when the flashes of the previous night came wavering on his mind. Stacey was looking up at him with her eyes filled with desire. “Good morning, sleepy head.” “What time is it?” he quickly sat up and wiped his eyes with the edge of his left palm. Stacey stared at the wall clock. “noon on the dot.” She turned to Henry with a smile. “What a perfect time to wake up.”Henry’s brows went up in disbelief. “noon?” He then looked through the window. The sun was already up, shining brightly. “How on earth did I sleep for this long?” He cried out and lowered the sheet to his waist. Henry would always wake up at dawn to collect trash. It was the first time in 6 years that he ha

Chapter 16
Benedict went on nodding like a puppet while Henry made things clear. Henry was making use of every nerve in his finger pointed at Benedict to pass the message. He wasn’t throwing cheap threats. “You can leave now,” Henry concluded and in an instant, Benedict vanished. When Henry went back to the hotel room, Stacey had already packed their bags. They dashed out. When they got to the reception, they met Mr. Cross.“We will take our leave. We had a good time.” Henry said. Mr. Cross smiled. “It’s an honor to hear that from you. Did you come with a car? I can make arrangements for a private vehicle to take you to your destination.”Henry shook his head. “That wouldn’t be necessary.”Mr. Cross walked them to the door. When they got outside, Stacey moved to the spot where she had parked her car the previous day. She stepped on the driver’s corner and after Henry got in, she drove off. “Let’s go to the hospital,” Henry said after Stacey drove past the hotel. She smiled. “Of course.”Th

CHAPTER 17
Nurse Betty shook her head. “Calm down, miss. Your father is alive.”Stacey heaved a sigh of relief. Henry caught himself smiling. “Your father is in the treatment room.” The nurse supplied. “Got it,” Stacey replied and ran toward Henry. She grabbed him by the hand and ran out. She ran straight to the treatment room. Her father was once taken there so Stacey knew exactly where the room was. It was upstairs, right on top of the ward. When they there, Stacey noticed that the door was open so she simply barged in. She was taken aback by the spectacle before her. Her poor father was the only one in the room. He was in a wheelchair, crouched in a corner breathing heavily. Stacey quickly let go of Henry’s hand. “Dad! Are you okay?”The old man slowly lifted his head. “Why are you the only one here?” She rushed to him and knelt in front of him. She began to sob. When patients are brought to the treatment room upstairs, it means they were in need of urgent care and the room is mostly

CHAPTER 18
Dr. Derrick took his head into his hands, acting like he was feeling dizzy. “Did you say 10 million?”Over the years as a doctor, Derrick had met various patient relatives. Some people sold their properties to raise the needed hospital bills and some had to take loans and ended up bankrupt but no one could give out 10 million at once. After concluding that Henry was playing games with him, Dr. Derrick fell back on his chair. He looked up at Henry. “You got so much nerve. You think 10 million is a piece of cake and even if you bring 100 million, it will change nothing. He still can’t stay here.”Henry faced Dr. Derrick. “What are you talking about? Is the hospital full or what?”“And what if I say it’s full.” Retorted Dr. Derrick. He seemed irritated. “Well, he’s already here so there has to be some space,” Henry replied. Stacey palmed her head. It was all too much for her. “The hospital is full. All the wards are taken that’s why he was transferred to the treatment room, the only

CHAPTER 19
“You know what? You should be an actor. You’re very good at this.” Dr. Derrick said after having a good laugh. “You want to buy the best hospital in Marylyn City. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much this hospital is worth?”“Give me half an hour,” Henry said confidently. “Oh really?” Dr. Derrick fired back. “You want to buy the hospital in half an hour now?” he laughed and threw his hands around his head. “Unbelievable!”Henry looked down at Dr. Derrick who was gawking at him. He swallowed the lump that had developed in his throat and promised himself that in about 30 minutes, Power would change hands. Stacey had grown cold. While the men were going back and forth, she was just staring blankly at the grey wall.Dr. Derrick turned to her. “Miss, Stacey. I think your friend has a mental problem. Save yourself the stress and all the trouble. Just think of my suggestion.” He then began to create imaginary circles on the table. “As long as you pledge to serve me well, getting your

CHAPTER 20
The massive hospital with all its staff had just been handed over to someone else at a hat-throw. Dr. Derrick caught himself staring at Henry like a ghost. Who was this guy? He kept wondering. Dr. Derrick couldn’t hold it together anymore. He marched to the scene and faced President Gale. “Are you sure he bought this place? Isn’t this kid a fraud or something?”President Gale gasped and turned to his two assistants who had been silent all along. “Who hired this guy?” he was referring to Dr. Derrick. “How dare he talk to Mr. Parker that way?”“We are sorry, sir.” One of the board members responded and glared at Dr. Derrick. Henry realized that it was time to let the cat out of the bag. He faced President Gale. “Do you know that Dr. Derrick wanted to kick out a patient who was admitted here without any solid reason?”“What?” President Gale was shocked. “Not only that.” Henry continued. “He also tried to force my friend to sleep with him.” Henry was now pointing at Stacey whose hea
