James swallowed harder and quickly thought of what to do. He didn't want to lose face in front of Rose. If he could successfully resolve the issue, Rose would be indebted to him.He turned to look at Rose. "I will speak with him and resolve everything," he assured.Rose nodded once, with a smile on her face as James proceeded towards Sean."I didn't know there was someone that could easily go against Mr Louis. James is an influential man," She applauded.James stopped before Sean, with fear written all over him. "Mr Sean," He greeted, with a forced smile. "I was on my way to speak with you."Sean raised skeptical brows. "What's wrong."James swallowed harder, as he looked right behind Sean, at the men that were taller and more built than he was."I want to use this opportunity to plead with you for the sake of the two ladies standing far away. Please, whatever they have done to offend you. Please forgive them," he expressed.Sean huffed. "Get him out of my sight," He ordered.One of t
Sophia turned to Brad quickly. "Step back, Brad. Don't complicate the matter the more," She warned.Brad ignored her plea and moved to her front, preventing the men from proceeding with their plan.They tried to get him to push him out of the way but it was to no avail. It looked like a stone was standing in their way."It's Maxwell!" A voice gasped.Every gaze turned towards the entrance, as Maxwell walked inside with few of his men.At the sight of him, James released a sigh. His father was an underlying of Maxwell. So, he was certain that he would surely help out.He turned to Rose. "Don't worry, Rose. I've got this. I promise to handle this," He promised and moved closer to Maxwell.Sean was shocked at his audacity but when his gaze followed him, his heart nearly stopped. How did the fool know about Maxwell?Even though his father was tough and quite popular for getting whatever he wanted, he couldn't fail to acknowledge how powerful Maxwell was.With Maxwell, his father was nothi
Brad nodded once. "I'm ready," He turned to Ava. "What do I need to know about the party?" Ava smiled, happy at the decision. "I will list out everything you need to know and I will get back to you tomorrow," She assured. Brad nodded once. "Alright. You can call me whenever you are ready so that we can meet. And with that, I would like to leave. I have a class tomorrow morning." Ava nodded once. "I will drop you off." Brad looked at Ava. "Are you guys not here to discuss? Don't let me disturb you. I will find my way home." Ava shook her head briefly, with a smile. "Actually, Maxwell called to discuss you." "Yes, I was thinking of a way to convince you. I saw the news this morning and I was bothered. I feel we need to get you as the new president of P-Bold before things get worse than it already is," he explained. Brad smiled. "Alright then. Let's leave." . Brad got out of the car with the bags of clothes and looked at Ava. "Thank you for the ride." Ava smiled. "You should get
Brad pulled out his phone and dialed Linda's contact again. Even though he didn't want to have anything to do with her, he didn't want anything to happen to her.The phone rang the first time but no one picked it up."Brad!" A familiar voice called out as he was about to dial the number the second time.Brad looked up at Linda and a flash of annoyance flickered across his face. Linda wasn't even in danger. It looked like Linda made that pretense call to lure him to come.She walked closer with this smirk on her face and Brad instantly knew he had been tricked.She had a shirt and a pair of shorts on. She was actually certain that Brad would come running back to her. Brad was soft-hearted and Linda was used to manipulating him."Why did you call me, Linda? If you were not in trouble. Why did you choose to disturb me?"Linda smiled instead. "I knew you would come running, Brad. I knew you still had a soft spot for me," She moved closer and rubbed Brad's chest.Brad carefully detached h
Brad felt pity for her for an instant but he soon shook it off.There was no way he would even accept someone like Linda back into his life."They threatened me. They said if I don't find a way to break up with you, they would come to the school and report you for a crime that would get you expelled. So, I had no choice but to plan the break up in such a way," She explained and looked up at Brad.Tears were streaming down her eyes.Brad found it hard to believe. How could her parents threaten her to break up with him? How could what he saw at the hotel be a lie?"It's true!" Linda blurted out when she saw the disbelief in his eyes. "Ever since we broke up, I haven't been myself. I haven't been able to eat or sleep very well and I'm telling you the truth. Mick also threatened me," she sobbed harder and wiped the tears off her cheek. "Mick threatened you?" Brad was finding her lies incredibly upsetting."Yes, he knew the break up was planned and I still love you. So, he threatened me.
The next day came so fast.Linda waited until lunchtime. She couldn't afford to go into class with all the rumour going around about her and Mick.But she was definitely sure that Brad would be in the school restaurant with his friends and the majority of their classmates wouldn't be in that particular lunch room at that time.She has already started to think of how to manipulate Brad further in the relationship. Well, it would be very easy because Sophia was currently spreading news about how Mick was being wicked on Brad and tried to spread false news about Brad.So, currently, everyone was supporting Brad and thought Mick overrode Brad because he was richer.Linda and Mercury entered the lunchroom and different comments came flying from some corner."That's Linda who left Brad for Mick, right?" A voice asked."Yes!" The voice laughed. "He left the poor guy for a wicked guy like Mick. I hope they all get expelled together. Perhaps they both planned it together.""Of course! Even th
Brad was too shocked to say a word. He hadn't expected to see Ava in Stanfold, not as a student anyway. Besides, he met her the night before and she didn't inform him of any of this. Linda flared up. "Just what the fuck do you think you are doing? Are you trying to go between me and Brad? Brad loves me!" She openly argued. "And that's why you had to leave him for Mick but you came back because Mick is in trouble? You are a disgrace to the girls!" Ava said softly, yet making sure that her voice carried the weight that it needed. Linda looked at Brad, with pity. "Brad, you still love me. Don't deny it. Don't let her come between us." "Well, Linda. You did yours and I found myself a girlfriend as well. It's too late and I can't leave Ava for you," Brad muttered. Comments came flying from around the corner at Linda that she felt embarrassed and rushed out of the lunchroom. Mercury hurried after her. "Seriously?" One of the students laughed. "Who would have thought that Brad would
Brad returned to class. He had one last class before the end of the day. While Brad is a business student, Ava is a statistics student.So, they both went to their various classes.Brad couldn't stop thinking about what Ava had done. Though, he could say that he still loved Linda. Linda was the lady he had planned to settle with anyway.That was why he gave her everything. And maybe, he would have eventually succumbed if Ava hadn't shown up unexpectedly.He wouldn't deny the fact that he still loves her.The moment Brad walked inside, students started talking about him."You can't imagine who Brad's new girlfriend currently is?""Who? I thought he was single.""Haha, says who? A newly transferred student just announced that she was the new girlfriend of Brad and damn! She was so beautiful. I'm so sure she will soon become one of the top five beauties of Stanford.""Damn! Brad always got the good things even though he had no money! How did he come across such a beauty?"The lecturer so
