2024-09-27 22:28:35[What's up, Hot stuff. I'm currently alone at my dorm. Get here as soon as you can, okay? I can't wait to have an amazing night with you. ]
Benjamin Knox - a tall young man with a lean but well-toned build - stood right outside the dormitory of his girlfriend. He was currently in an excited state as he checked his cheap phone for the tenth time, reading the text message his lover had sent him earlier today.
“Could Alexa possibly be talking about something entirely different? Am I misinterpreting this text?” Benjamin whispered his scepticism to himself, as he still couldn't believe this.
Alexa, his girlfriend, had never invited him to her place before. More so, she has never agreed to have sex with him before. She wouldn't even agree to making their relationship public. Though Benjamin had never minded all that, believing that Alexa probably had her reasons. He had been willing to take care of her as best as he could, even giving her most of his salaries saved up from his several part-time jobs. Benjamin calmed his excited heart as much as possible before he began to ascend the floors, heading straight to his girlfriend's apartment.His mind couldn't stop creating scenarios of how his gorgeous girlfriend would meet him by the entrance.
The closer Benjamin got to the dorm apartment, the more he couldn't control his excitement. They were finally about to take their relationship a step further. Minutes later, Benjamin now stood in front of Alexa's apartment.“Oooh, right there. Oooh!”
“Mmmh! Do you like that, Baby?” “Uhhh, yes! I like that a lot. Don't stop baby.”Just as he was about to knock, he heard the sounds that made his heart freeze up.
No, it can't be Alexa!
It must be her roommate. He had heard from Alexa that her annoying roommate often took her boyfriend back.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
“By the way, did you make sure that I get the scholarship this year? You know there's only one spot, and I want it for myself.”
Bomb!
Hearing the voice, he felt like hearing his heart broken.
It was her!
A masculine voice chuckled. “Don't worry; you know my dad donates large sum of money to the university annually. All I need to do is make one phone call to the authorities to secure the slot for you only. No one else would be able to get it. ”
Benjamin felt his heart sink further into his stomach as he recognized the man's voice - Andrew Tyrone. He is the most wealthy student in the university, the son of a powerful family in the city. Despite his rich background though, Andrew had a bad reputation in terms of romance especially.He was discovered to have once forced his pregnant girlfriend in the past to have an abortion. The girl didn't want to, so in order to get rid of her, Andrew paid someone to beat her up until it resulted in her miscarriage. However, the after effects were quickly settled by his father.
Benjamin could only soak in the bitterness as his brain put together the pieces. He really didn't expect his girlfriend, Alexa, to willingly chose Andrew, of all people, just for the scholarship.He was now fighting the strong urge to kick this door in right away, and that was when he heard his name from Andrew's mouth.
“The awarders were originally going to give it to that fucking loser, Benjamin Knox, due to his excellent grades and overall exceptional performance academically. But then I asked my father to grab the quota for me instead.” There was a dismissive tone in his voice, showing that he didn't care how this affected Benjamin. He then heard a light gasp from Alexa before Andrew spoke to her. “What? Oh, don't tell me you feel sorry for that guy.” Alexa sneered at this. “Are you kidding? I've wanted to get rid of that poverty-stricken guy for a long time now. I only agreed to be with him just because he was persistent, and even quite good to me. Plus, he was willing to work hard for me. Even though I've been with him for a year, I wouldn't even get in the same bed with him.” She sighed. “It didn't even take me long to see him as the bastard he truly is. He doesn't even know who his parents are. He was raised by that cleaner he has for a grandmother. Such a filthy person is not worthy of me at all.” Hearing the conversation to this point, Benjamin's eyes were glistening as he tightened his fist with anger.True to Alexa’s words, he was raised by his grandmother, never knowing the identity of his real parents. This was the biggest pain in his heart and he rarely mentioned it to others, only trusting Alexa with it, and yet, his trust was betrayed.
“Unbelievable, I never thought he had such a pathetic background.” Andrew spoke with a belittling tone. “Even if his mother had him with a street dog, he should know who his father was.”That bastard!
Benjamin's blood was boiling as he heard this. How dare he insult his parents like that!Gritting his teeth, he kicked the door open.
“Fucking hell, Benjamin!”

“Fucking hell, Benjamin!” Alexa screamed as she and Andrew dashed for their discarded clothes to cover themselves. “Why the hell did you break into my apartment?! Do you have any idea how much of your salary it would take to fix that?!” Benjamin paid no mind to those words as he pointed at the entire scenery. “Is this why you sent a text? To see all these?” His voice was eerily low. Alexa had a confused expression. “What are you saying? I didn't send you a te….” She paused her words as a realisation crossed her mind. She stared at Benjamin as it became clear that she had accidentally sent her boyfriend a text which was never meant for him. It was meant for Andrew instead. Alexa and Andrew had actually agreed much earlier to meet at her dorm apartment. The text message she had then sent to Benjamin by mistake was supposed to be a reminder for Andrew. In the end, Andrew Tyrone came to her apartment as scheduled, but now, her mistake had led to her hidden affairs with Andrew being exp

As soon as these words were spoken, all the men in the crowd suddenly dashed after Benjamin, taking him down with brutal punches and kicks. This gave Alexa time to help Andrew up, and they watched with delight as Benjamin was being beaten to a bloody pulp. Minutes later, Benjamin was subdued, tied up by a rope like the lunatic he was being made out to be. These other students definitely wouldn't miss out on a golden opportunity to earn easy $5,000. Therefore, they felt no remorse for Benjamin's pitiful state. He was left struggling in futility to break free. Andrew, who was rubbing his bruised shoulder from the attack he endured, glared down hatefully at Benjamin who was now bound tightly on the ground. “Who do you think you are? You actually dared to lay your disgusting hands on me?!” He roared out at Benjamin with fury, before rushing over to stomp on Benjamin's chest. “Why don't you get up and fight me, you piece of garbage?! You can't, huh?! You think you're so strong, huh?! Why

Benjamin's face was definitely a study in confusion. He looked from the older man to the others, then back again. He lifted his hand to shake the man out of politeness. He didn't waste time in asking however, “Who are you and what do you want with me?” The older man cleared his throat, ridding his face of any kind of expression and doing his best to keep a level of professionalism in his extremely respectful manner. “I am Herbert McKlin, master Knox. If you wouldn't mind coming with us, you will be made fully aware of what this is all about.” He gestured to the car he'd just alighted from, urging Benjamin to enter. Benjamin looked at the car, then back at Herbert. “You really think I'm going to get into a car with some strangers? Just like that?” He wanted to say that he was sure they had the wrong person and they should just leave him alone to deal with his issues. But they knew his name. And there weren't very many Knoxes around this region. Then a thought dawned on him.

Benjamin sharply turned around, sure that he wasn't the one being referred to. But there was no one behind him. The old man hurried to his side and grabbed his hand, squeezing it tightly as he inspected Benjamin's face. “You look just like him. God, you look just like my son.” The man whispered, entranced by Benjamin's presence. Benjamin felt a bit creeped out and tried to extricate his hand from the man's. “Excuse me… I don't understand what's going on here. If you don't mind explaining?” Benjamin kept trying to put some distance between them. The old man cleared his throat, regaining his composure as he saw Benjamin's uncomfortable state. He smiled at him and then turned to return to his seat. “You are my grandson, Benjamin. ” The man stated proudly to the whole room. Benjamin's eyebrows raised and he looked round the room at the other individuals present— Herbert and the guards — and how they didn't look entirely surprised by the statement. Ben couldn't help but give a mock

Hunter stretched his hands into one of the compartments beneath his desk top, retrieving something from it. He turned to the still shocked Benjamin across from him and handed it to him. It was a black card. “This is a tax free card to a private account. It's yours from now on. This should eliminate any financial issues you've had and may have in the future. It holds a maximum of $3 billion. It's my welcome gift to you.” Benjamin could hardly believe his ears. He stared at the sleek black card being handed to him, the amount he'd just heard swirling in his head. "$3 billion?” Benjamin seemed in a daze. “Sir, that… that's more money than I'll ever need." He was reeling from the surrealism of the situation. Hunter smiled, clearly amused by his reaction. "This is just the beginning, Benjamin. As the newfound heir of the Whiteridge family’s business empire, you’ll be taking over the entire consortium after your graduation. Herbert, my assistant, will guide you every step of the wa

“Grandma, don't!” Everyone at the school's main gate, including Alexa and Andrew, were shocked at the voice, and they looked up to find Benjamin rushing over. “Benjy?” The old woman felt a wave of relief wash through her at the sight of her grandson. “Oh, my Benjy!” “Grandma, are you alright?!” Benjamin gently held up his grandmother's body. He then shifted an angry gaze up at Andrew. “You're a piece of trash, you know that? How dare you ask my grandmother to kneel before you?! Even if you hated me so much, you should at least give some respect for her age!” Andrew scoffed. “Her age? Why the heck should I show her any care? She's not my grandmother.” He then suddenly covered his nose. “Ugh! Now that both the boy and his grandmother are together, I can really smell the stench of wretchedness.” Alexa giggled as she lightly punched her nose. “Unfortunately, I can smell it as well.” Benjamin was furious as he gently moved his grandmother backwards, away from the two. “Grandma,

“Benjamin, have you lost your mind?!” The director rushed over. “Are you really trying to kill Mr. Tyrone?!” Benjamin loosened his hand and turned around, looking at the director in the eye, finally giving Max the chance to escape. At this point, there was now a crowd watching the scene. The whole situation was unfolding at the main gate after all. There was no way it wouldn't attract a large audience. “Oh my goodness!” Alexa exclaimed as approached Andrew. She had actually called the director earlier in case this idiot Benjamin would do anything crazy. Turned out she was right.“Oh, baby, you look a mess.” She then glared at Benjamin before turning a pitiful expression in the director's way. “Sir, thank the great goodness that you came on time! You saw it yourself! This madman was about to start another fight!”“Sir” Andrew didn't waste time taking full advantage of this situation. “He suddenly came after me, assaulting me for no reason. "It must be because he had been suspend

It was safe to say that the director, Andrew, Alexa, Max, and Benjamin's grandmother weren't the only ones shocked by Benjamin's claim.The crowd that had been watching the commotion ever since Benjamin had punched Andrew in the face. They burst into heavy bouts of laughter as soon as they heard those words as well.“Wait! Is he for real? I know that guy. He's so freaking poor, and now he's suddenly claiming that he can pay ten times the annual donation this school gets from the Tyrone family.”“Oh my goodness, this guy must have lost his mind. He's definitely gone crazy. The Tyrone family donates $1 million annually, which means that guy would have to be able to pay $10 million at once. Isn't that too pretentious?!”Another student quickly pulled out her phone. “Oh, I will be damned if I don't live stream this for my fans! They're gonna eat this up.”The crowd was bustling at this point, wanting to see how Benjamin would dig himself out of this ‘grave’ he created for himself.Benjami

Even more so, she felt the sturdy muscles that rippled beneath every movement of that body part, despite the thick layer of clothes Benjamin had on.This young man wasn't really incredibly handsome, he was incredibly fit as well.She accepted this considering the fact that Benjamin had held that muscular culprit by the neck with such incredible strength just a moment ago.Benjamin was oblivious to the secretary's state of mind, agreeing with her words for him to take this chance and leave.Benjamin turned to Olivia. “I think you should go stay with April.

For the first time in forever, Benjamin felt his heart grow cold with intense fear as he watched April lie motionless in his arms. His right hand, placed right behind her head, had gone wet with her blood.“I'm glad you're safe.”Those whispered words from April's lips right before she lost consciousness went a shockwave down his body. He couldn't move, just kneeling on the ground as he stared at his fake girlfriend with shocked eyes.It was safe to say that the world had faded out of his awareness as he focused solely on the unconscious lady.

Hearing this, Max smiled proudly with a head nod to convey his understanding. As for the two ladies, they were tearing up at varying degrees, having never met such a handsome man with such an overbearing aura but acting with such meticulous protectiveness when it came to the people he cared about.“Haba haba!” Olivia fanned herself while batting her eyes at Benjamin, conveying how flustered she was. “Just when I think you couldn't get more attractive with your show of masculinity, you prove me wrong.”Benjamin didn't reply to Olivia, turning to face Lieutenant Jason and his team of soldiers.“As for you guys, I know you'll resort to fircecwadikt if that means that I'm kept out of harm's way. And in that kind of situation, the chances of you hurting the protesters are high.

This decision came to abrupt. What exactly are you thinking?”April watched as Benjamin kept quiet, refusing to reply to Olivia, so she did that instead.“It's because Benjamin knows that his old neighbors would definitely attack him. They'll run after him to physically assault him just to show some grievances of what they've lost.”Max nodded his head as he stared outside the faculty building main entrance with a frown.“Yeah.

Do you realize that I can have you all punished severely for interrupting my class with a sensible reason?!”Olivia discretely glanced at the middle-aged teacher with disdain, mumbling to herself.“What lecture? None of your students are even in their seats at the moment.”Max doesn't reiterate this though. Instead, he spoke with a slightly gentler tone.“We're sorry, Professor, but we saw the commotion outside the faculty building and we had to check on our friend.”Professor Blanca rolled her eyes with a show of annoyance.“You came from your classes to check on your friend because you're worried about him? What about the victims he killed and the victims he stripped of their properties?

As soon as they reached their destination, these reporters and their camera people flooded out of their vans to speak to these protesters.“Sir, may I have a moment of your time?” A female reporter had quickly targeted a nearby man, hoping to gather scoops first. “What exactly is this protest about?”Of course, the other reporters were not slacking either.

With Andrew not around on campus for a month now, the surroundings became easily peaceful for Benjamin and his crew. With no Andrew around, there was naturally no Alexa around. It wasn't too hard to deduce that the $1 billion that Benjamin had taken away from Andrew had caused a temporary crippling of his financial status.In addition, his father - Simon Tyrone - had publicly poured all the blame on his son. It was fair to say that Andrew was under house arrest as a form of discipline from his father.Either way, this ensured that Benjamin, Max, April, and Olivia were able to focus on their studies without being worried that there was a scheme underway.In fact, neither the sorority girls nor Andrew's goonish crew came looking for trouble.

At a hidden base,Boss Jude sat on a comfortable couch, ignoring the two naked women kissing his neck and sliding their slender fingers over his torso as he stared at the tablet screen in his right hand.On the screen of this tablet phone was the information of a certain profile being displayed on it. This person was one other than Benjamin.“Yeah, it's definitely the strong kid from that night. Benjamin Knox, huh?”Going through the details, Boss Jude could see that Benjamin attended Elites Domain University, along with his background as a poor orphan with little to no money in his bank account.“Then where did such a kid get armed men with incredible stealth?” Boss Jude murmured to himself before groaning in frustration.“Call me my leftie, now!”One of the lower subordinates outside this private room immediately answered. “Yes, Sir!”A few minutes later, Brody now stood before his boss.Boss Jude kept his gaze on the screen of the tablet phone as he questioned his newly assigned le
