“Miles, I had no idea…..” Lucas was struggling to say his words coherently. He was just too stunned at what he had just found out.Miles looked at Lucas with an ominous smile. “Of course, you had no idea. Because I simply kept it a secret.” He then turned to resume his work. For minutes, the office was quiet as Miles focused on his work on his laptop. A confused Lucas tried to call Miles’s attention but Eden quickly stopped him from making any attempt. Therefore, Lucas was made to remain on his knees while Miles was busy.It took about fifteen minutes before Miles finally brought his attention back to the kneeling man. “Alright, Lucas, you can speak now. What exactly were you looking for my wife for?”“It’s you I was looking for,” Lucas spoke with wide eyes. “I heard that you were no longer an employee here as you had lost your gatekeeping job. Also, I've never visited your house before so I didn’t know how to locate you. I would have asked Lesley or Miss Blaine for direction but as

Miles and Lola had quickly become the center of attention at the class reunion. People who didn’t even normally speak to them back in college were now trying to act like they’d been best friends since forever. Of course, Miles and Lola tried to keep away from these pretentious people but they just kept flooding back towards them.“What is this, Abigail?!” Mark gritted his teeth as he watched the people around Miles and his wife. “I thought you said that Miles would definitely be humiliated if he should show up at this class reunion of yours. You said everyone despised him because he was poor and classless, so what am I looking at here?”“Hey, don’t be mad at me!” Abigail was getting pissed at her boyfriend. “How the hell was I supposed to know that Miles would suddenly show up looking like he was born extremely rich family?!” A devious idea suddenly popped into her head, causing a wicked smirk to break out on her face. “Since we know that Miles is nothing but a poverty-stricken man w

The slapped woman could only keep her shut as she saw that everyone was now looking at her with disdain. They scooted away from her whole whispering terrible words at her. Frustrated, the woman turned around and headed for the bathroom.“Bunch of fools and idiots!” She mumbled to herself while walking away.The crowd was starting to disperse a bit as they saw that the show was over. They returned to the smaller groups, chatting about what they had just witnessed.Meanwhile, Miles could see that Ethan was left heavily devastated and humiliated. His life had just been emptied out for people to judge so he didn’t feel welcomed here anymore. “Hey, come with me.” Miles pulled Ethan away from the crowd, towards a bathroom. Before he was gone, he winked at Lola.Lola sighed as she nodded back to her husband before he disappeared into the corridor. He understood that Miles was going to comfort Ethan. In the meantime, she got back to chatting with her friends from the sorority group. Some of

The other women around Lola’s table had mixed reactions to seeing Miles sit at that table. Worst, he had gone up there with Ethan James, of all people. This is the same man who had been utterly ridiculed by another former coursemate.“Lola, what your husband is doing is crazy and sorta disrespectful.”“Right. How much does he really make per year? We all know Miles Creek back at college. He’s one of the poorest men you’d ever meet. I doubt much has changed for him over the years, so I can’t understand what would give him the absolute audacity to go up there and sit down with the likes of August Leonard.”Lola frowned slightly when she heard the things that her friends were saying about Miles. She wasn’t dumb, and thus, she could sense the passive aggressiveness of these other women. She looked up on that podium and a little moment of witnessing the way Miles carried himself, she was happy.To be honest, Lola has long been suspicious of her husband’s true identity. As the months pass b

“My goodness! Mr. Miles, I had no idea it was you.” The older man had an apologetic expression on his face immediately. “I am truly sorry.”Miles smiled professionally at the older man. “Nah! Stop it, Mr. Bell, it’s fine.” He walked forward and shook hands with the man.Lola frowned slightly as she stared at the man whom she had been seen around her husband before. “Who is that man?” She mumbled to herself. Checking out the man’s outfit, she deduced that this Mr. Bell was an influential man. His total outfit was quite close to a million dollars in worth after all.Ethan, who had been standing close to Lola, heard the woman’s mumbled question. “Lola, you don’t know that man?!”Lola picked up on the surprise tone in Ethan’s voice, and she shook her head in response. “No, I’ve never seen him before. And you? Do you have any idea who he is?”Ethan nodded immediately. “That’s Mr. Jackson Bell, a very powerful man in the government. Specifically, he's a senior officer in the government.” He
