Once he was done with his assignment at the school library, Aiden stood up and headed for home. It was already quite late and he was also exhausted. He used the Uber app on his phone this time and ordered a ride home. It came within a few minutes, and he smiled as he got into the car. Usually, when he went out, he would walk or use a taxi. He never had enough money to pay for an Uber, but it was enough reason to be grateful that he could comfortably afford one. When he got to the apartment, he had a quick shower. He was still very full from the meal at the restaurant, so he did not bother about dinner. As he headed for his bedroom, he looked in the direction of Lena's room. There was a bright light streaming from below the door, and there was also soft music coming from the room. He smiled and shook his head as he headed to his bedroom. He knew that she was probably busy with her influencing job again, and he did not want to disturb her. As he collapsed on his bed, he was bored
As soon as he clicked 'send', Aiden began to panic as he did not know what the reaction of the fans would be to his message. To his surprise, a lot of them began to like his comment. He smiled as he noticed that the hate comment had not come for a while. He thought that the person was suddenly afraid and it made him smile. If you want to challenge me, then you should do it like a man and stop hiding behind a faceless account. Aiden's smile disappeared immediately when he saw the reply to his comment from Jack Shark, but it only fueled his confidence. He slid up again to post another comment. I don't need to show my face to show you how much I would deal with you if you tried to say anything bad about your host again. He waited for a while, and just as he expected, Jack Shark sent another message. Stop trying to be who you are not. I will deal with you here, right on this live stream, so you can see who is superior. At this point, the views on the livestream tripled. People were
Everyone waited patiently as they thought that they would get a reply from John Shark soon. They were expecting something that would beat what Aiden had just done, even though they knew that it was nearly impossible. It may seem as though John Shark has finally decided to let it go. One of the viewers commented and people seemed to agree with the comment. Some of them laughed at John Shark. He was thinking of what to do at the moment. There was a platinum package that went for five million dollars, but he did not have the money for that. Instead, he decided to go for the premium diamond package again, and selected six of it this time, so that he could attempt to top what Aiden had done. Once he sent it out, people applauded him, but it was so obvious that they were expecting more. Aiden smiled at this, as he thought that John Shark would go for the platinum package. It was the most expensive, but five million dollars was the tip of the iceberg compared to what he had in his poss
"Come in!" Aiden finally sang.Lena entered the room with a big smile plastered on her face that made Aiden's mind suddenly be at peace. He slipped his phone under his pillow so she would not have a slight idea of what he had been up to. "What are you doing here at this time?" He asked her. "I was working," she said excitedly. "That's good. How was work today?" He asked her. She put her hands together gleefully as she looked at him. "I think I have made enough money to start a new life henceforth and even pay you back for the help that you offered me," she blurted out. "I did not ask you to pay me, but what are you talking about?" He asked her. "The man that sent his boys to come and harass me yesterday met his Waterloo. He was threatening me on my livestream, but an unknown account countered him, and it suddenly became a challenge," she began. "They began to drop ridiculous amounts of money into my account and I could not believe it as well. I was gravely astonished, and at th
As Aiden got into the hall, the rest of the students turned to stare at him. They knew that he was one of those less privileged students who stayed away from such events because they could not afford it. When they began to point fingers at him and laugh, he began to feel embarrassed, but he bore in mind that he did not have to feel inferior to any of them. "I see that you succeeded in borrowing a suit for this occasion," Jason began as he walked up to him, holding Alice to his side. She was dressed in a beautiful red dress that accentuated her curves. She looked very elegant but he did not stare at her for a second time. Aiden did not say anything to Jason but kept his cool. Even though the other students scorned him, he knew that it was better that way than to engage in any banter with Jason at this time. The event soon started and everyone looked up to the podium where the principal of the school was presenting a speech. When he was done, there was a thunderous roar of applause
Aiden was taken aback by her guts as he could not believe that she would ask him that after what she did. "I believe that it is none of your business," he said quietly as he started to walk out of the store room. "If you walk out of that door, I promise you, I will raise a false rape alarm, and you know that they are likely to believe a beautiful innocent girl than a nerd that could be a pervert," she said to him as a means to make him stay. He took a deep breath as he stood before the door. He then took out his phone quietly and opened his sound recorder before he turned around. He knew how much of a sneaky person she was. If she threatened him that way, she was sure to do what she had said. He was not ready for any of her shenanigans at all, so he decided to comply, but with an option to redeem himself. "What do you want to know?" He asked her in a feigned defeated tone. She smirked before she spoke. "I want to know how you came about the ridiculous amount of money you have be
Suddenly, almost all the students gathered around the scene, but Aiden did not move a muscle. As usual, Melvin and Jason saw a body of students and decided to insert themselves in the mix. They had been looking for a perfect opportunity to get back at Aiden after the embarrassment from the previous night and this looked like the perfect opportunity. "What did you do to her?" Melvin asked him first, dragging him by the collar, but Aiden did not move a muscle. "Nothing," he replied casually as he pulled Melvin's hand away. "How dare you touch my girlfriend?" Jason thundered as he advanced menacingly towards Aiden. He was about to punch him, but his hand was held in the air. Aiden and Jason turned to see Ms Donna, their philosophy professor. "What are you doing trying to hit a student?" She asked Jason sternly as she forcefully let go of his hand. "He just harassed a female student," Jason blurted out. "I believe the right thing to do here is to report to the school authority ins
By the next day in school, everyone already knew about the lottery that Aiden won as the news spread like wildfire. As usual, everyone had their opinion about how he spent the money. Some of the students, mostly those who have benefited from the scholarship scheme in the past commended him for his efforts and sacrifice. However, other students thought that it was foolish of him to donate all his money to charity. As Aiden stepped into the school that morning, all eyes were on him. Some looked at him with admiration, while others looked at him with disgust. He decided that he was not going to pay any attention to anyone and just move on with his business of the day. Before he could enter the lecture hall, Helen, the departmental head of the students' board summoned him into their meeting. Helen had been of help to him in the past. As the departmental head, she was responsible for the welfare of the students in the department. She mostly helped those students who were charity cases
