At The Peak Of Greatness

Chapter 2. You are too poor!

A look of shock crossed her face as she laid eyes on Clinton at the door. Her face went pale as she quickly pushed the man off her and covered herself with the duvet, looking at Clinton with a mixture of shock and guilt.

The man on the other hand, had an ugly expression on his face as he quickly scrambled to his feet, reaching for his clothes in a hurry. As he dressed, he shot a look of disdain at Clinton.

"Clinton, what are you doing in my apartment?"

Feeling displeased and exposed, she tried to ease the tension.

Clinton tightened his fist and yelled. "What do you mean, what am I doing here? So this is what you've been doing behind my back?"

Xavier looked downwards ashamed to look up at Clinton. "It's not what it looks like. Clinton, I can explain. Just give me chance to explain"

"Bullshit!"

He replied with a yell.

"Are you trying to tell me that I am blind? Are you telling me it's not what it looks like when another man is on top of you having sex with you?"

The man looked at Clinton with annoyance. "Xavier, who is he? Why is he interrupting us?"

"Who am I?" Clinton said as he stepped forward. "I'm supposed to be asking you. Who the hell are you!'"

Tears welled up in his eyes as he dropped the cake he had bought for Xavier. He couldn't believe his eyes and what he had just witnessed.

"Xavier. Who is this shabbily dressed guy? Do you know him?" The man furrowed his brow and looked at Clinton. "Wait a second, Isn't this the school cleaner boy?"

When Clinton heard this, his heart raced with range. He stepped forward and pushed the man against the wall, holding him by his collar. "How dare you insult me." Clinton punched him on his face.

"How dare you!"

Clinton couldn't stop punching him in the face.

Xavier on the hand, yelled seeing Sanderson being attacked by Clinton. "Clinton stop it"

Clinton let go of him and turned to look at Xavier, his eyes blazing with fury. "So you are defending him now? You cheated on me after what I have done with this jerk?"

"So what if I cheated on you?" Her face brimmed with anger as she looked at Clinton.

"So you think you have the right over me? You barged into my apartment and had the guts to beat someone up?"

Clinton scoffed as he looked at the man. "Are you trying to change the subject, where was this pimp when I was struggling to make you happy?"

At the moment, Sanderson has spotted the box of cake that Clinton had brought inside the bedroom and laughed. "Xavier, is now my girlfriend. How could you take care of such a pretty girl like her."

"You've been buying her some cheap items like cakes and you think she will still be with you? You are joking"

Xavier also noticed the box of cake that had been smashed on the floor.

"You couldn't even buy me a simple Adidas bag, and you are here trying to comfort me with a cake? Look, let me tell you, Sanderson sent me 10,000$ within an hour when I told him I wanted an Adidas bag."

"Are you worthy enough to even lay a finger on him?"

Hearing how Xavier was now reprimanding him instead of feeling ashamed made Clinton's heart raced with anger.

He wiped away the tears in his eyes. "I've tried my best to make you happy all this time. How can you do this to me?"

"Pttf" "Xavier sneered "You are too poor! How can I be in a relationship with someone like you? Are you even forgetting that I was about to break up with you? Sanderson is now my boyfriend!"

The words that Xavier said hit Clinton like a ton of bricks.

"Leave me house Clinton, As long as you are still poor, don't ever think of getting back with me, we are done!"

Clinton couldn't stand still as he kept on wiping away his tears. "One day Xavier, you will see me and bow to me and I won't even look at you."

"Hahaha, you are dreaming. I will never regret my actions. Now get out!"

Sanderson curled the corner of his lips. "People like you, should never think of getting someone like Xavier. You cannot handle her. I wish you well. Hahaha "

Sanderson leaned on Xavier and said to her, "We weren't finished with our thing remember. Should we continue?"

Xavier ignored Clinton's presence and nodded. "Definitely, you are too good in bed, how can I not want more?"

Clinton had no further option but to walk out of the apartment. On his way he could still hear Sanderson and Xavier laughing at him as if he was worth nothing.

He didn't realize how long he had been walking before he appeared on the streets.

When he looked around, he didn't see Jimmy. But after a few minutes he received a call from him.

"Man, I'm sorry I left something came up so I had to leave. Did she like the cake? I'm guessing she loved it. I told you, women like surprises."

Even though he couldn't see him, Clinton shook his head. "No, Jimmy. She didn't like it"

"But what happened? Why didn't she like it?"

His heart heaved with pain as he said "I caught her cheating on me.." his words were unable to come out.

"Geez man, How dare she cheat on you. That's so messed up. Where are you right now? I am coming there "

"There's no need. I will walk" He ended the call.

***

After walking for what felt like an eternity, Clinton finally arrived at the dormitory.

Exhausted and defeated, he climbed into his bed, overwhelmed by the feeling that the entire world was punishing him.

Clinton buried his face in his quilt, tears streaming down his cheeks as he sob uncontrollably. "Do I not have feelings just because I'm poor? Am I not a person in her eyes?"

Clinton continued struggling internally as he could not stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks.

He didn't know how long he huddled under the cover, crying before he fell asleep. Perhaps the night was so silent, he got taken away by his own nightmares.

When he woke up the next morning, there was no one at the dormitory.

Clinton knew that Jimmy must not have wanted to wake him up, after last night event's.

However, he picked up his phone and was surprised to see that he had received numerous text messages and phone calls. When he checked the contents of the text message, he found that someone had sent him a huge amount!
