"Say hello..." he raised his hands in the air, "...to your new black card." He slammed his hand on the table and withdrew, revealing a black card. Brian gasped in shock and took the card. He turned it, examining every spot. His name was embedded in it. "Your father created an account with your name recently and sent me the card." He paused allowing Brian to process the first piece of information before adding. "There's ten billion dollars in it." Brian's eyes widened. "Ten what now?" "Ten billion dollars," Richard repeated. "Yeah. As long as you are in this house, you'll never lack anything." "Oh, my goodness. I think I'll go shopping again." "Of course go have fun. Also, you'll start training tomorrow." Brian's face twitched. "Training?" Richard nodded. "Being the heir of the Addams family, you need to learn how to protect yourself. Sure, Melanie and Charlene are your bodyguards but they can't protect you all the time. There are times when you may need to protect yourself. S
"So, how do you think Brian Ashton got rich?" "Well, he could have been pretending so he wouldn't attract attention but Alexia's heartbreak must have hit him so hard he decided to expose himself." "Or he could have done something to get rich after Alexia broke up with him to get at her." "Come on, Lillian. What could make him rich in two days?" "Something illegal?" "Hmm, it's possible but Brian doesn't strike me as someone who would do something illegal." "You never know what is going on in someone's mind." Two girls gossiped loudly without a care of the world in the school parking lot unaware of the eavesdropper lurking nearby. Raymond couldn't take it anymore. He walked towards the car where the two girls were gossiping. "Don't you two have anything to do with your life rather than gossiping?" hissed Raymond. The girls only glowered at him before entering their car and zooming off. Raymond blinked. Did the girls just glare at him? Before, they would quickly go away without
'Dang it. Why did this man waste our time? Mel and Brian must be waiting for me.' Charlene thought as she came out of her class and started rushing to the cafeteria. The lecturer, who taught her class, overused his period, making them stay five minutes extra after the ringing of the bell. The students were not happy about the delay. Due to her focus on getting to the cafeteria quickly, she didn't notice the person coming towards her until she bumped into him. "Ouch!" Her head hit a strong forehead and she bounced back. "Oh, I'm so sorry." They both apologized in unison, rubbing their foreheads. "No, I'm sorry." They said, speaking at the same time again. Charlene raised her brow and stared at the boy, noticing his features for the first time. He was as tall as Charlene with a red fluffy hair and freckles on his face. Charlene couldn't help but admire his cute face. She reminded him of the Weasleys from Harry Potter. "Uhm...I'm sorry. My forehead must have been really strong
Brian clenched his jaw. "Why does it pain you so much that I'm not attending the ball?" "No, no, no, Rian. It gladdens me, instead. No competition." "I have better things to do than attend silly dances." "Better things like burying your face into Harry Potter books or Business Management textbooks? Life isn't always about studying, my dear Rian. But you won't understand. After all, you lived three-quarters of your life in poverty." "Hey," Brian protested. Raymond flashed him a smug smile. "That hit a sensitive spot, huh? Well, not sorry. Oh, I heard a new teacher had an interest in you. Dating a teacher? That's too low even for my standards." Brian frowned. How did Raymond know about his encounter with Miss Claudine? One of his classmates must have spread the news. Before he could clarify he wasn't in that kind of relationship, Raymond added. "Anyway, see you some other time. Have fun with the teacher." He entered his car and zoomed off. Brian clenched his fist. The nerve of
He took a sip. Immediately, he made a disgusted face and spat the espresso out. "I asked for a sugar-free espresso," Brian yelled. The espresso was loaded with sugar that irritated his taste buds. Marilyn's face went pale. She glanced at Jason who only raised his brows. "Uhm, sir..." Marilyn tried to pacify him but Brian cut her off. "Is this how you treat your customers? Arguing with them and giving them wrong orders?" "It must have been a mistake," Marilyn said, regretting why she added sugar to the espresso. She did it only to piss off Brian but she never knew it would backfire this way. Brian scoffed. "Mistake? What kind of stupid mistake is that? You could have just gotten my espresso from the machine and brought it to me directly. I think you did this deliberately." "No, why would I?" Marilyn was already panicking. "You tell me. Oh, I'm so disgusted. I'm never coming here again." Brian got up. Jason nodded and scribbled something on the clipboard. Marilyn bit her li
Melanie and Charlene's jaw dropped. Charlene glanced at Brian and Melanie and covered her mouth, holding a squeal. Melanie was speechless as she stared at the rose in Brian's hand. Brian was nervous. "I thought...I thought you weren't going to the dance." Melanie stuttered, still staring at the rose. Brian shrugged. "Had a change of mind." Melanie looked at Brian with her brow raised. "Awn, this is so sweet, Brian," Charlene said with a dreamy face and placed her hand on her chest. "You like Melanie?" Brian's eyes widened. He nearly dropped the rose. "No..." he cleared his throat. "Let's not misunderstand things. I don't have that kind of feeling for her. I just need a date to go with to the ball." Charlene narrowed her eyes and looked at Melanie and Brian. "Yep, definitely like her." "Charlene," Brian protested, his cheeks flushing red. "Awn, he's blushing." Charlene teased more, causing Brian to blush more. "Brian is in love." Melanie rolled her eyes. "Stop being such
Brian called out to her. "Hello, Alexia." Alexia looked back when she heard someone call her name. She scowled upon seeing Brian and hissed. "Here I was thinking it was someone better calling me. What are you doing here? This is a female section." "Shopping for my date if you must know," Brian replied. He faced the sales lady that followed him. "I would like to buy that gown." He pointed at the black gown. "Too bad. I'm about to pay for it." "Well, I want it." "Are you deaf? I said I'm about to pay for it." "But you haven't paid yet. So, I want it." "I asked for it first." She faced the sales lady beside her. "Here is my card." She handed her a black card. The second sales lady's eyes widened at the sight of the card. "I'll pay double the price for the gown," Brian said and brought out his black card. Both sales lady mouths hung open. They knew now that they weren't dealing with ordinary people. "Uhm..." The second sales lady hummed, not knowing what to do. "I'll pay trip
"Are you insane?" Alexia screamed and pushed Raymond away. "Let me have sex with you, then you'll get the money," Raymond growled. He tried to touch her again but Alexia slapped his hand. "I've told you before Raymond. I'm not ready for that yet." "When will you be ready, Alexia? When?" Raymond yelled. "Why do you care about sex so much?" "Because I have needs. Do you want to know what I was doing? I was jerking off because I haven't fucked for weeks. Isn't that your job as my girlfriend? To satisfy my needs?" Alexia scoffed. "What do you think I am? A sex machine? We aren't even married for crying out loud." "Bullshit." Raymond stomped his feet. Alexis sighed. She went closer to him and traced her finger on his forehead. "Ray, I understand you have needs. But I'm not ready yet. When I am ready, you can use me as you like OK?" She tickled the back of his ear. Raymond closed his eyes, enjoying the tickling. "Promise?" "Promise. Now, will you give me that money?" "Of cours
