2024-10-29 19:42:56[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

As soon as Benjamin left the venue, he retrieved his air pods from his back and placed them in his ears before looking down at his phone screen to type.[Andy, get in my ear. We need to talk.]A second later, the screen turned blue for a moment before returning to normal. But then, Benjamin could hear the voice of the AI through the air pods.“Hey, Sir! How may I help you?” Andy's voice sounded cheerful.Benjamin went straight to the point as he walked through the hallways, heading to his next class for the day. “Tell me the truth, buddy. Are you responsible for what happened back at the lecture venue?” Benjamin kept his voice at a minimum volume as there were other students and non-teaching staff members littered around the hallways of the building.Andy replied with no remorse in his voice. In fact, he sounded quite proud of himself.“Of course, it's me. Who else would be more capable of retrieving deleted footage right under the nose of tech professionals, without even getting de

Benjamin began walking towards Andrew. “Sometimes, you really don't think before you start yapping.”Andrew felt his heart racing as he saw Benjamin getting closer to him, but he put on a facade of bravery. “What?! What will you do if I don't shut my mouth?!” He scoffed. “Benjamin, you suddenly think you're untouchable just because you won that bet against me last week?! Don't forget that no matter what, you'll forever be an abandoned orphan who grew up in the slums. The ugly mud of your origin will never be washed no matter where you go!”Andrew was loudly saying these words and the whole class couldn't help but watch the drama unfolding.Andrew sneered as he wasn't done. “As for that money you got from winning a lottery, it's only a matter of time before it runs out. By then, I'll be there to remind you that you're not but a speck of dust to be trampled on and ignored.”Benjamin suddenly rushed the rest of the way, his face conveying what could be interpreted as fury.Seeing this,

The class became a bit noisy as students began whispering to each other, wondering if it was a coincidence that Principal Dice showed up here, and at a time that Professor Blanca was proudly claiming that no one could challenge her authority.As for Professor Blanca, she was frozen on the spot. She would have never guessed that this kind of awkward situation would occur at a time like this.Principal Dice’s gaze was calm but broody as he stepped into the lecture venue. “What's wrong, Mrs. Gorge? Why did you stop talking? You were telling your students how you're practically above every chain of authority on this campus, including mine, right?”“What?! No, no! Of course, not!” Professor Blanca Gorge was quick to shake her head with wide eyes before she smiled awkwardly. “Principal Dice, please, come in! I really wasn't expecting you'd show up here during my class. You should have given me a heads up.”Principal Dice raised an eyebrow and a cold smirk spread across his face. “But if I

Benjamin wasn't done as he spoke with confidence. “Of all the other students who presented before me, you waited until they were done before you corrected them. I expect the same level of respect from you, Professor.”He then glanced down at the necklace he had on. “As for my accessories, it doesn't make any sense that you'd suddenly have a problem with it. Every other student here has something in both their wrists and around their necks. Why do you only seem to have a problem with it when it comes to me?”“You……Benjamin, watch your tongue!” Professor Blanca had turned into a blabbering mess, as she hadn't been spoken to like this in years.Benjamin raised an eyebrow. “Why should I watch my tongue? I don't believe I've said anything out of reason. As a student, whose grandmother struggled through hell to pay his academic fees, I'm allowed to exercise my rights to the fullest if I see fit.”Professor Blanca felt utterly humiliated on the spot.

Benjamin smiled calmly at the professor before shifting his attention to his laptop. He connected the device to the huge screen as the students in the class whispered about him.“Hey, I think we should try becoming friends with Benjamin from now on.”“Hey, I was thinking the exact same thing. He's no longer the poor miserable loser who we saw get humiliated by Andrew last week.”“That is an understatement right there. He's now far from being poor. For goodness sake, the guy paid $70 million in Health-Bind Hospital just this morning. He's definitely loaded.”“Plus, he doesn't have a family member other than his old grandmother. He must not know how to spend such a huge amount of money, so let's help him spend it “Even though Elites Domain University is attended mostly by the wealthy class, most of the students here are simply children of millionaires.

It was like Benjamin had heard those last words. He quickly connected his phone to the huge screen behind him, and he selected those pictures of Max in the hospital bed, allowing the whole class to see them on screen.The students felt elated that they could see the pictures with their own eyes, and they thanked Benjamin in their hearts.A couple of seconds later, the students began giving their verdict as well.“Hey, those pictures don't look fake at all.”“Yeah! If they were AI-generated, I would have definitely known by now.”“Yeah, look at him and the surroundings. I have been inside the Health-Bind Hospital buildings before. Those walls…..their private rooms are really designed like that.”Just like that, Andrew, Alexa, and Professor Blanca found themselves on the minority side. Their accusation had become void as so many voices were confirming that Benjamin wasn't being deceitful with his claims.“Fuck! He came prepared.” There was a thick wave of resentment in Andrew's words as

“What did you just say to me?” Professor Blanca was definitely not expecting the reply she got from Benjamin.Benjamin could see that the professor was more shocked by his reply than she was angry about it.Benjamin decided to just give the woman her reply. “I'm sorry but my partner, Max, won't be able to make it today. He got into a very serious accident during the weekend and had to be rushed to the hospital.”The students began whispering among each other, wondering what kind of accident Max could have gotten into.Andrew and Alexa exchanged a glance with one another. Just a while ago, they were wondering why Benjamin's best friend was nowhere to be found. So it turns out to be like this.Professor Blanca seemed to be thinking about it before she sneered at Benjamin.“You really want me to believe that common lie? Then you'll have to accompany those words with some hard-to-disprove evidence right now.”Benjamin glanced at the professor. “I had a feeling you'd ask for that.” He ret
