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

    Brad sighed. Ben was being angry on a matter that didn't even warrant it. However, he understood where he was driving to. He probably wanted him and his girlfriend's friends to be on good terms.But Brad had a bad thought about it already. He doesn't even think he and Rose could ever be on good terms.His phone rang almost immediately, jerking him out of his thoughts. It was David. He picked it up immediately. "Hello, David.""Brad! We are sorry for not calling you earlier but we knew you had class. We are at La Rue. Are you coming over?"Brad released a sigh. "Ben just called me as well. He seemed annoyed on the phone.""Yes, I was there with him. I still want you to come as well. The last time didn't end well, doesn't mean it wouldn't this time. Besides, your name has been cleared," He hesitated briefly. "Have you had lunch?""No, but I thought I could get home, shower, and meet you over there.""That will take time," David said quickly. "We are already here. You might not be able

    Rose sent Brad a dirty glance. "And how do you know when he's going to come online? A poor guy like you will definitely not know anything.""That's harsh! Brad is only trying to help," Kevin protested softly."He should know his stand actually. I'm sure he has never given any StreamRoller any gifts. Why did he have to talk?" Ann combated angrily.Nancy cleared her throat meaningfully. "Let's make this lunch a successful one, please.""Well, let's make some order," Rose said instead, ignoring Kevin's remark. "Actually, if I'm not so busy this evening, I will definitely join Sophia's live stream but I have some plans for us," James muttered.Rose's eyes sparkled up with excitement. Now knowing how influential James is, she was willing to move with him. Who would lose someone whom Maxwell recognized?"Really!"James nodded once, with a smile that made him look more handsome.Brad scoffed. James was deceiving the people with confidence."So," Brad started suddenly and looked at James. "Y

    On their way home, Kevin turned to Brad."Is it true you got a job at fast tech?""How else did you think he must have gotten the information about Andrei's son? James doesn't even know about it," David muttered in response.Brad didn't want to tell them he was the new president of P-Bold. They wouldn't believe him anyway. So, there was no point wasting time."But why didn't you tell us all this while?" Kevin felt offended.For a few minutes, Brad was tempted to inform them the whole truth but he decided against it quickly."I got offered a job a few days back but I didn't know what to do. So, I decided not to inform you until I have accepted it," he explained.Kevin smiled. "I'm so happy for you, Brad. If you had accepted the job earlier, I might have said you were the reason why Maxwell stepped in yesterday night. Because you would have worked close enough to know him," he laughed.Brad joined in. Just how would they feel?Kevin pulled out his phone. "Let's see when Sophia will go o

If I was Sophia, I would ask to see him. I will trade anything in this world to be his friend] Sophia smiled encouragingly. She was impressed. To speak the truth, she has never been so interested in a guy like she was currently feeling towards Amazing Fighter. Most guys would have asked to see her and probably asked more than she could offer. And she would never use her body to get something she wanted no matter how much she needed it. "Amazing Fighter. Can you do me a favour?" Amazing Fighter: [Yes] "Will you agree to see me? Can we meet up? I will do my best to at least buy a meal that's up to your standard.

    Everyone was shocked.There was no way it would be Brad. Brad was poor and Amazing Fighter was right. It was two different personalities.“What! Brad is Amazing Fighter?” Kelvin asked, even more surprised.David couldn't talk. Shock kept him motionless and speechless for a long time.“No! No way!” Someone said suddenly amidst the silence. “Brad can never be Amazing Fighter. It's not possible!”“Yes, it's not!” Someone else chimed in. “There's a mistake somewhere!”And soon, everyone was already shouting about it.Suddenly, their phones beeped. They all stopped what they were doing and started pulling out their phones.It was a notification from Amazing Fighter. He just uploaded his picture.Everyone clicked on it and the picture that showed up on their screen made them shocked for another minute. It was still Brad.“Wait, are you saying that Brad pretended to be poor? And that was why Amazing Fighter has been hiding? Because we would have known it was Brad if he had shown his face ear

    Brad pulled into the parking lot while Sophia was on a call.“Alright,” Sophia hung up and looked at Brad. “I have to go see my friends,” she announced, with a smile.Brad nodded once. “I will pick you up later then.”Sophia reciprocated his smile and proceeded to open the door. She stopped and turned to Brad again. “There's actually something I want to tell you.”Brad gave her full attention. “Yes, what's it about?”“Well, the thing is I won the princess of the year due to Amazing Fighter help. So, I didn't want you to think I kept it away from you when you heard the announcement,” she explained.Brad smiled. He already knew anyway. But he appreciates her talking.“I knew you would get it actually. You are the best candidate for you.”Sophia smiled again, feeling impressed with herself. She leaned forward and captured Brad's lips in a quick kiss.Then, she rushed out without waiting for him to talk.Brad was shocked because he didn't expect her to kiss him, especially since he didn'

    Sophia hummed as she went about with getting ready for school. She was so happy that everything was over. She was even overjoyed that Brad was picking her up. She loved to be around him. If it wasn't for the fact that it would look even weirder, she could have concluded that she had feelings for him.But she didn't want that to disrupt their friendship. So, she was going to push it to the back of her mind.She got herself a black short gown that accentuated her curves. She was going to be proclaimed the princess of the year anyway, so she needed to dress very well.Aside, she wanted Brad to notice how beautiful she looked.If not anything, he should at least acknowledge her. She loved it whenever he did.Within less than an hour, she was already applying makeup on her face.She picked up her phone when she was done and dialled Brad’s number. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, Sophia.”“I'm ready actually. You can come over now.”“Alright,” It felt like Brad smiled. “I will be ther

    Sophia entered the room, with a big smile on her face. She has never felt so happy since all her born days. To even say she would be alive that day to see all the good news was an understatement.But she was happy and that was all that matters. Really!Exam is over! And she would soon be a graduate. What a nice day! Besides, all her problems were gone. Ned was gone, Vincenzo left already.Though, she was still bothered. He could come back but she wouldn't be in the city by then. Sophia would have been done with everything. She has a lot of money now and she could even continue as a creator. She has a lot of fans already.There just was nothing else she was supposed to be bothered about. Everything was good now!“No, don't eat like that!” Her mother was softly correcting little Lancelot.Sophia regarded them for a moment and the smile on her face got even wider.“No_ eat!” He murmured.The doctors said it was normal since Lancelot hasn't even spoken for so long. Even Though he still ha

    Some students walked out of the exam hall, stretching. "Damn, those questions were a shock!" One of the students said while the other clapped him on the back, laughing. "What will be will be." Brad, David and Kevin also stepped out of the exam hall, their writing materials in their hands. They had smiles on their faces and you could easily tell that the exam was turned out well for them.Rose also stepped out alone the moment Brad and his friends came out. When she saw them, she couldn't help but stare at Brad longer than usual, wondering, "could it be true ?"Ever since Cliare told her, she had been wondering, thinking non stop about it. She kept wondering if this random looking guy can really be as rich as Claire had told her. Gosh. He doesn't even look it."Rise?"one of Rose's colleagues called but she didn't hear she was too absorbed inher thoughts about Brad and his wealth."Is that Brad you're staring at?"

    Rose quickly freshened up, changed into more casual wear, and headed for Rose's school.In a few minutes, she was at the school. It felt weird being in a school she wasn't schooled in. She almost felt like a mom.She laughed at her silliness and proceeded into the school. She had no idea where she would find either Brad or Rose but she kept going anyway. She was determined to meet with them, in fact, she would like to meet with both of them and have a serious talk with them.As she entered a hallway in the school, her eyes scanned the bunch of students who were rushing out of a class, and her gaze easily fell on Rose. Almost immediately, she spotted her too. With a big smile, she waved at her and Rose just rolled her eyes. She muttered something to the two girls she was walking with and sashayed her hips toward her."Now what are you doing here? I said I want you out of my life!" Rose greeted Claire hotly.Claire smiled and playfully nudged Rose on her shoulders, "Relax, cousin. Come

    "But how do I make someone who hates my guts, my friend? I can't even get myself acquainted with him talkless of making him my friend," Gary said angrily."But- " Gary hesitated, still thinking about all she had. Found out and all that Dylan just explained to him. He was still confused as to how all of these were possible.His brows creased as he looked at Dylan, "If what you're saying is all true then Brad Harrier isn't just a rich man…" he trailed off and paused, " He is actually the head, " he broke off again, his sentences coming out distorted. His heart beats quickened as he started to grasp the real situation he was in, "That means Brad Harrier is a mafia lord," his heart skipped a beat, "one that had the power and had every legal right to take my life if he felt the need and the government would do nothing about it?"Dylan nodded tentatively, feeling sorry for his friend."Holy shit!" Gary had thought the walk calmed his nerves and made it easier for him to think straight but i

    Gary was just reaching the restaurant at the same time Dylan arrived too. He shook his head as Dylan suddenly stopped walking and squinted at him.As Dylan approached the restaurant, he scanned the area of Gary's car but couldn't find it. He's late? He wondered, surprised, Claire was never late to their meet up here since he always came with his car. His thoughts trailed off when he saw someone who looked like his friend in the distance, hands buried in his pockets as she swaggered toward the entrance of the restaurant, his gaze already on him.At first, Dylan squinted at him, not believing his eyes. Gary shook his head as Dylan wouldn't stop staring. Then he left him outside and went inside the restaurant. Almost immediately, Dylan joined him across the table."Bro! Did you just trek?"Gary shrugged, "I told you I needed to clear my head, didn't I?""Wow. This is new," Dylan muttered to himself. He was about to start throwing questions at Gary when the waiter arrived and Gary immed

    "Hey man," Gary literally sighed in his response after he answered the call."Man," the caller, Dylan, drawled. "You don't sound good, "What's up? How far have you gone with the search for your man? Did the chick tell you who he is?"Since Dylan was the one who arranged the men he used to get Claire, he knew about it.On a normal day when Gary was his normal self, if he had been asked so many questions at once, he would have lashed out at whoever dared to try it but this time, he didn't. He only knew his friend was talking, he couldn't process his excessive words."Man, I need to talk," he pinched the space between his forehead, squeezed his eyes shut, and opened it again. "I need to clear my head." "Are you okay, Gary?" Dylan asked worried."I might lose my job soon, I can't be fine," he answered Dylan's irritating question. "What do you say we meet at the usual restaurant in…" he trailed off and his gaze slid to his desktop screen to check the time. "I'm about an hour?"Dylan had
