At first sight, she was startled to her bones, as she never expected him there at that time and never realized that Kelly had picked up the phone.
"So it's true. You have been cheating on me all this while." His cold words were an extension of the inner pains that flowed through his vines.
"And so what if I have been cheating on you? Or I cheated on you." She replied, trying not to look like a fool before him.
"Is that how you respond?" Christopher was finding it difficult to believe that it was the silver that he had known all his life.
"How long did you think that I was going to put up with your broke ass?
You should be grateful that I stuck with this broke ass of yours all through the years." A long hiss escaped from her mouth.
"I have found a man in Kelly."
"Kelly. This fool is known all over school. Are you going to allow him to deceive you so much?"
"Better to be with a deceiver with a secured future. Sometimes, I wonder how people like you still exist." Kelly spat on the floor, getting Christopher even more angry than he was already.
His hands were clenched with so much hate and anger as the school's billionaire pulled Silver over to himself by her waist and kissed her by her neck.
Adrenaline flooded through his bloodstream as he continued to stare at them in their little love play so bad that he could hardly control his rising anger. Pulling Kelly away from Silver, he punched him in the face.
"Go close to her again, and that's just going to be the tip of the iceberg." His eyes were flooded with so much fury.
Kelly's face lit up with anger as he spat the blood out of his mouth, and his hands were clenched with so much anger.
"How dare you punk let those filthy hands of yours on my face?" The words shot out of Kelly's mouth with so much anger.
"I am going to make sure that you pay for this so that the next time you see me, you will run away if you survive." He thundered, pricking out his cell phone from his pockets as he placed a call.
"I want you over at Keystone Hotel right away, and I don't want even a second delay." He fired.
Before Christopher could tell what was going on in his head, he was surrounded by a field of cars.
He could already feel his heart racing fast as the group of men came down from the car until there were up to a dozen of them.
His eyes skimmed around, only to notice that they were all with batons, their fierce faces ready to rip him apart into halves.
"That's him." Kelly pointed it out to him with his face twisted with so much disgust.
"Where is the fool?" He heard them chatting, and he was pointed at.
His face broke down into a cold sweat almost immediately, as he could tell clearly what was coming in for him next.
They advanced slowly towards him, carrying batons in their hands, while he moved backwards, slowly trying to make his way out of the place.
"What are you trying to do?" He heard one of them say.
"You are already surrounded. And there is certainly nowhere that you can go now." He heard one of them say that he was making a large lump go down his spine.
His head punctured around, and he was hit by the hard truth, making a lump go down his spine with his heart racing fast.
A baton fell towards his head, bringing him down to the group as a slight groan escaped from his mouth.
More kicks came afterwards as he yelled out in pain, but no one could dare come around to see what was going on.
They continued to hit and kick while he yelled at the top of his voice. Soon, his pain slightly filtered away from his body, pulling him slowly into unconsciousness, and he fainted.
"I think he is dead. We will have to leave this place right away." Their panicking voices were the last thing that he heard before he eventually passed out.
[Ding]
A loud vibration shattered in his head like a scream, snapping him swiftly into consciousness.
"What the heck was that?" He rose slowly from the bed as his head spun around, pairing into the strange environment where he found himself.
"Now, where am I?" He said it under his breath once again.
His eyes caught up with the hospital bed and the spot where he had been fed with a drip. Flashes of the past flashed into his mind as he thought about how he got there in the first place.
Memories of the sad past flashed through his head as he tried to push it aside, the hurt of the betrayal getting to him, but he could not.
He shook the thoughts away from his head almost immediately.
"She made her choice. There is no need to cling to someone who has never loved me. That would cease to be love and become an obsession."
[Host Allocated] Another loud ding sounded in his head.
"What the hell was that?" His head moved around in a motion, trying hard to figure out what was going on.

[Welcome to Your Fame Building System] The words crowded his mind, getting him into even more confusion than he already was.
The hands of Christopher were wrapped around his head, still trying to discover what was going on as his racing heart shot up even more. "What are you?" He finally inquired. Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth; he seemed to have opened a really strange portal before him. A system that only he could see appeared before him while he continued to stare at it, his face washed up with confusion. Words began to form on the system while his eyes were transfixed closely on it. [System adjustment to host] [Displaying the host's analysis] [Body Status: weak and malnourished] [Mind: Good] [Age: 24] [Will: Strong] [Intelligence: 5+] [Starting Balance: One million dollars but not activated yet] [Points: Zero] The words one million dollars that he just read on the system made his eyes shoot out of his eye socket with so much shock. "One million dollars?" He said it under his breath, still trying to figure things out. Having been poor, he has never thought about having su
Thoughts ran through his mind. He knew the possibilities that were going to befall him if he finally decided to perform the task.But the possibilities of not performing the task were totally out of his abilities."I think that I should do this." He said it under his breath with a frustrated sigh.[Ding: 55 minutes left for the task to be accomplished]"And I have to do it pretty fast." He reminded himself once again.With a dangerous dash, he walked away from the sidewalk towards the restaurant that was just overhead. one of the best that was available in the city.His eyes could already relate to the dignities that were floating all around in the place in their perfect clothes that glittered right in the sun, but he knew for sure that he wasn't there for them.He made his way to the reception, and when he finally got there, he noticed that he had spent thirty minutes of his total time already."I will have to get this over with as soon as possible." He whispered, already running out
Clara's feet crept away from the place with a dark smile hanging on her face as she went back to get the card terminal.Everyone caught their cells from their pockets to get a glimpse of the beautiful moments, which were going to be terrible for some people."Now that the card terminal is here, Which are you going to be paying with: cash, transfer, card, or QR code?"She snapped with so much impatience in her voice.[Ding..] The system rang in his head once again, making the pace of his racing heart go even faster than it was already.[The host has 60 seconds more to accomplish the task, or punishment will be rolled out accordingly.] It ended.Without a second thought, he reached out to his card, which had always been lying in his pockets all those years, and shoved it over to the receptionist."I just hope that you have gotten some money from this poor asshole." She said it under her breath, loud enough for him to hear what she just said.Clara took the card away from him, walking gr
Her eyes scanned through everyone in the hall who was ready to tear her apart, limb by limb, if she didn't do what they wanted her to.And with tears in her eyes, she walked up towards him, still staring at the vast crowd with shame.She went down on her knees, licking off the dirty particles from his shoes.Everyone chuckled while taking full records of the moments.Afterward, Christopher was transferred to the main dining section, after which he got out of his restaurant.After he was done with his meal, he was given a whip. His hands were still clutched to the phone that he had in his hands."I guess I will have to go to the bank." He said swiftly to himself.With every step that he took, he could feel his heart beating hard against his chest.Now, without his practical money and nothing to survive in school, he could only hope that all of that was true, or he would become one of those school dropouts."No, I can't allow that to happen." Christopher shook the thoughts away from his
He came down from the car with an air of grace, after which he went to a five-star hotel in the city to get a good night's rest.He could feel a completely different feeling rushing through his bloodstream.For the first time in his life, he had a steam bath, stayed for long in the shower, and slept on water foam.It was the best night's rest that he had ever gotten in his life, and the next morning, he woke up feeling energized.But he knew that he could not linger way too long on the bed. He stepped down swiftly, took his bath, and got back into his clothing.The practical project that he had always prepared for all his life was just today, and he could not afford to be late for it.He took an Uber for the first time in a long time, with his lab coat stalk in his right hand.When he got to the vast room, there were already a couple of students there, purchasing their practical plans.They were called plans, but there was mainly a distinction between the rich and the poor, as poorer
His steps were solid as he walked gradually towards the school board, and he could already feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through. Soon, he got to the administrative building of the school, which was littered with a lot of cars. Sweat was already dripping down from the corner of his face. But there was one thing that he could not place his head around, and that was how he was going to get to the principal since that was his very first time coming to the administrative block. "I think that I should ask around." He spoke slowly to himself. His eyes spammed through the building, and he caught up with a security officer at the far end of the line. Walking slowly towards him, he stared at him. "And how may I help you?" His face twisted into a frown immediately after they landed on him, but he was not shaken even for a single moment. "I need to see the owner of the school. I know they are having a meeting now, and it's with respect to that
The eyes of everyone in the room twisted with scorn as he said the words.There were whispers in the hall, but even with their hateful glares, he wasn't moved.Meanwhile, the man who wanted to go by the school could not help but laugh out loud at what he just heard."You what paid off?" He laughed."What do you think all of us are here for? Some child's place?" He thundered with mockery while everyone burst out into laughter.But there was someone who was not laughing even a bit. Mr. Maxwell.If there was anything that he didn't want to do, it was to sell the company over."Can I trust him?" The mechanism of his mind waged war in his head, and he could rarely speak.His decision was what Christopher waited for as sweat dropped from his face, dripping down to the floor.With a sudden flash, he waved his hands, and all the chatter died down.He stood up from his seat and walked toward Christopher, staring him right in the eyes, and finally, he spoke."And who are you?" He inquired."I'm
The hall was as silent as a graveyard as everyone waited for him to spit out the words from his mouth. "I'm sure he is going to ask for something really valuable." A man in the hall found his way to say. Immediately after he said those words, they all shot cold stares in his direction, making him freeze. "So tell me, Christopher. What is it that you want? We are all waiting." Mr. Maxwell said it with a smile on his face. He could already feel his heart beating hard against his chest as he opened his mouth to speak. "Lately, there have been cases about a particular employee of the school taking pride in treating rich students well while the other students are treated with so much scorn." He replied. Mr. Maxwell's face blew hot red with so much fury as he sprang up from his seat, hitting his hands hard on the table. "Who is this person?" He inquired, his teeth grating with anger. If there was anything that he hated so much, it was the act of bullying coupled with the act of brib
