George's chest began to tighten. He felt like he was getting enough air as he slowly unbuttoned his jacket and untied his tie. He couldn't believe the Melvin science project had gone to a useless boy, a nobody who used to live in the slams. In fact, I still did.Even with his connections back then, he was unable to obtain this project during his university days. However, that project landed with a nobody. He yelled out on top of his voice in frustration, attracting the gaze of people passing by."What are you all looking at?" He yelled at them as he grabbed his phone and began calling specific numbers in his phone, breathing heavily. He needed to block the stupid project. Thanks to the stupid aunt, he could not find "That Thing" and now it looked like the boy was heading for success which would be a disadvantage if the artifact ever resurfaced in his possession. The boy needed to maintain his poor status, that was how it was always supposed to be. That was the balance of things.Howe

Daniel smiled as he walked into his aunty's room. He'd just avoided a hundred questions from Craig. He could tell he hadn't believed him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that the friend would drop the subject and never bring the topic up again. He walked into Carol's side of the bed, took a seat while holding her hand, and excitedly told her about the good news he had received. He wished she was awake to join him in his celebration. He missed all the hugs and kisses she would have given him and a lecture on not becoming arrogant once he's made it. She always liked giving that lecture. He had always despised the speech, but now that she was in a coma, he wanted to hear it so badly, but he couldn't. He missed all the little speeches that used to irritate him and promised himself that when she woke up, he would never find anything irritating again. He was going to be listening to every word with a smile on his face. He looked at his watch and noticed that it wa

Before things got out of hand, the lecturer got up and asked everyone to calm down and take a breather. "Stay out of this!" George yelled at him. The lecturer froze and raised his hands in the air. He was one of those lecturers at the University who were afraid of George. When George turned his gaze to face Daniel, it was clear that the sewer rat had no idea who he was or what he was capable of. The stupid aunt had not filled the boy in on how dangerous he was but that was going to be rectified. "Do you know me and what I am capable of?" Daniel kept his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on him. He could only assume the old fool had never heard the word "NO" and always got his way. "What are you going to do?" Daniel asked, mockingly. "Beat me to death for refusing to grant your request," he smirked. George gripped on Daniel's shirt more tightly, pulling harder on it. He was expecting Daniel to react, but the useless boy kept a mocking smirk on his face and his hands in his

Daniel grabbed his phone, ignoring his friends' protests. They felt choosing Kendall Hamilton was a bad idea that would only add to the drama of the project and might backfire on the group.Craig locked his gaze on his friend, who was yet again making another uncharacteristic decision. Daniel was not the type to surround himself with drama or attention, but it appeared he was attracting all the attention he had tried to avoid his entire life."Daniel, are you sure?" Craig asked for the third time, knowing full well that there were other students who were far more qualified than Kendal for the position."Trust me, guys," Daniel said, his attention drawn to his phone.Zain, who was on campus, had just texted him. He summoned Daniel outside. It was crucial. Daniel abruptly excused himself and exited the room.Zain's request for a meet-up outside the room meant that whatever he had to say was only meant for the two of them and not to be heard by the other two friends.He crossed the camp

Kendall turned to face Shelly, then Daniel. The tense air between them piqued her interest but she had no time playing Shelly's games, she was more interested in finding out where Daniel stood."Let's talk over ice cream. It's far too hot in here," she laughed as she walked back into the room to put on makeup and grab her purse.Shelly approached the door. "What do you think you're doing?" She yelled at Daniel.Daniel looked behind him to see if the woman was talking to him or someone else."I'm talking to you, fool! Who do you think you are?"Kendall raised an eyebrow for a split second. Shelly was taking the entire issue too personally.Daniel cleared his throat as he moved closer to Shelly."What exactly do you think I'm doing?" he asked, a sleek smile on his face."Using Kendall to retaliate against me and Michael isn't going to work," she stated flatly.Daniel laughed."Not everything revolves around you, Princess," he replied coldly, before asking Kendall if she was finished."A

Daniel arrived at his apartment satisfied with the events of the day. He smiled as he walked to his room. He was certain George Meyers was already receiving phone calls from his friend's parents and biting his tongue while explaining his threats.He was no longer going to have any problems with the fool if everything went as planned. As he sat down, he relievedly signed. He held the relic in his hands, remembering the old fool holding it without realizing it.The adage "hide something in plain sight for the enemy" worked in his favor. He chuckled as he remembered the old man's expression.Perhaps one day, after making him pay for everything he'd done to his family, he'd reveal how he'd hidden the relic in plain sight.He stood up with a smile, clutching his insulin infuser. With the project's funding and the Relic's power, he was going to bring the device to life in his aunt's honor, and, more importantly, it was going to make the nurses' job of managing her diabetes in her coma state

"See you around," Shelly mocked as the couple walked away. Daniel's stunned expression was priceless and beautiful to watch. She wished she had taken a picture of it, but she didn't want to appear too petty.They had no idea how Micheal's father did it, but Daniel was off the list and Micheal was on it in less than 24 hours.As they walked away, Shelly inquired about Kendall's position on the team."I'm sure no one wants her on the team," Michael replied confidently, knowing exactly how to get rid of her.Soon, the announcement was made in the class group, shocking everyone. The Melvin project's drama was getting juicier by the day.Within minutes, the entire group was flooded with hundreds of messages. Some mocked and laughed at Daniel, while others felt it was unjust for Micheal to get the spot after his device failed during the presentation.His father had clearly purchased the spot, as some of the students had seen him on compass the day before.Craig and Max were taken aback as t

Kendall quickly offered Daniel a seat next to her and reprimanded him for not returning her calls.However, Daniel's attention was drawn to the CEO of Biopharm. He greeted him, but Josh Hamilton only glanced at him and continued sipping his coffee."You knew I was related to the CEO of Biopharm, didn't you?" Kendal enquired.Daniel cleared his throat and looked at her. "No, I did not," he replied.Josh chuckled and turned away."I knew your parents were wealthy and in real estate, but not that you two were related," Daniel responded."Do you have no shame?" Finally, Josh spoke up. "Do we appear to be fools to whom you can simply lie?""No, sir, I am telling the truth," Daniel protested but was cut off."Let's just wait for the other person in silence," Josh said.Kendal grinned. Even though Josh appeared to be cold and mean to the outside world, she knew he had a soft spot inside him.Daniel looked at Kendall, perplexed as to who they were waiting for, but lacked the courage to inquir
