School the following day was as expected. Simply normal. But this changed when the news began to spread. April Freeman was now a millionaire. The whole college went up in flames. Everyone had so many questions to ask. Who was this Mr. Humble Bee? Just how rich was he? Why was he so obsessed with April? Why was he disguising himself? Attention began to quickly move from Amanda to April. Everyone suddenly wanted to be her friend. Everybody suddenly began to like her for ‘who she really was’. Nathan simply scoffed. Fakers! They would only love you when they knew they would get something in return from you. Their friendship was based on benefits. Bullshit! The news about April soon went round the whole college and beyond. Even the college principal had to question her for security reasons. They also offered to make her the school model for the year. This would mean that whenever a modelling company had a contract with them, April would be the model figure and she would
“Hey Fred, I did it! I was able to pummel David Lynch to purchase it! Now, talk to the echelons of the company. I want that same shoe to be recreated. It will no longer be a limited edition. I need the exact same shoe to be created for myself. You know, the charity gala is not going to be a funny one!” Fred smiled from the other end of his phone. “Smart you are, young master. Smart you are! I wonder what they would say when they find out that you are the sole owner of Reylux Footwear company. How foolish of David. He wants to make an impression. He is buying from us! Well, let's just hope his father would believe whatever lie he tells him this time!” Fred scoffed. The conversation continued and Nathan asked that Fred make his cars available by evening. The Charity Gala was just 2 days from now and Nathan would need to get familiar with his new ride. School was soon over and Nathan got home early. He couldn’t wait for the upcoming gala where he would get to bring old memories. A
Everyone turned around to look at the beauty queen as she walked down the hallway. It was none other than April. April had dressed elegantly to school that day and quickly stole the attention of everyone who looked at her. The reason? No one knew. “Oh look who it is trying to defend Reed. Tell me, April, are you also sleeping with the milkman?” Dave said and everyone burst into laughter. “And if I am? Would you beat me up? At least I would be better than your simp girlfriend who interrupted my date last night because she is a gold digger!” April spat loudly. Everyone gasped. Dave quickly stood up and walked to April. “What the fuck do you mean?” he asked. “Oh, your pretty angel didn’t tell you? She came all the way to D Royals just to see Mr. Humble Bunny. Tell me, Dave, if you are truly her boyfriend, why would she go out seeking attention from another man?” April asked loud and clear for everyone to hear. Everyone was shocked. Did Amanda really do it? Dave was furious and
As Nathan bumped on his bed after a cold shower, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Marcus and Neil in their little group chat. “Hey guys. What are your plans for tomorrow? It’s the Mega event.” Nathan asked. “Well, bro. I doubt if I’d make it. I’m having financial issues. My dad just lost his job and I won’t be able to make any donation even if I wanted to. Y’all enjoy the gala!” Marcus replied. Neil sent his reply as well. “I’m coming, but I don’t even know, I don’t want to be embarrassed. I mean, there would be students from over 3 different universities coming over for the event. Who am I in the midst of over 50,000 students? I mean, come on, I don’t even have a car!” Nathan sent a sad emoji. He was truly sorry for his friends. They had always been there for him and now, it was his turn to show up for them. He now had all the money in the world and ideally, his dragonflies should be the first set of people to enjoy his wealth. “I’m sorry guys. Look, we are al
Hannover Grande was the biggest event centre in London. It was over 47,000 square feet and could host thousands of guests for various events ranging from conferences to concerts and gala dinners. With its grand architecture and luxurious amenities, Hannover Grande had become synonymous with sophistication and elegance in London's event scene. Fred had earlier informed Nathan that he had over 55% shares in the industry and his father was a well respected figure there. His presence always shook the building. Tonight, the grand hall of Hannover Grande became a sight to behold at the annual charity gala, drawing the city's crème de la crème. Opulent decorations, sparkling chandeliers, and lavish floral arrangements adorned the venue, casting an aura of luxury and grandeur. Draped in their most exquisite attire, guests graced the event with elegance that matched the splendour of the surroundings. From sleek evening gowns to impeccably tailored tuxedos, each attendee looked like they
The roaring sound of the Lamborghini Egoista could be heard from a distance. The car attracted so many people that they had to push through the crowd just to take pictures and videos. The Lamborghini Egoista which was worth $900 Million was the only car of its type in existence, making the value higher than any other car that drove the earth. This was a car that could be seen nowhere but the internet. Then who would be so fucking rich to drive that car to the charity gala? Who could this extra wealthy person be? They waited eagerly to see who this trillionaire was. Dave, Princess Anastasia, Charles and Amanda all stood on the sidelines, their curiosity piqued as they awaited the reveal of the mysterious owner of the Lamborghini Egoista. Each of them had their own reasons for attending the charity gala, but the unexpected arrival of such an extravagant vehicle had captured their attention. Anastasia could not believe her eyes. Her father had once talked about this vehicle and w
At first, Dave was speechless. He did not know what to say or how to act. He just stood in between Marcus, Neil and Nathan. Amanda could not believe her eyes. This was not the same Nathan she once knew. It felt like she was seeing a completely different soul like the guys in fantasy stories and movies. Everything about him changed. From his face to his charisma and every other feature that describes a perfect male. What happened to her ex? How did he suddenly become so rich, rich beyond their expectations? Amanda could literally feel her body vibrating. She began to regret the day she ever broke up with Nathan. She should have stayed. She could have stayed with him and enjoyed many more moments with him, including his newfound wealth. A drop of tear escaped her eye, but she made sure to quickly wipe it off before anyone would notice her demeanour. “What is this, Nathan? Are you crazy? Who are you trying to deceive? Me? Never!” Dave uttered enthusiastically. Nathan looked at hi
“David Lynch, $15 Million” Bubble Gum announced and she paused for a bit to confirm if she read that right. “Did someone just donate $15 Million!” Bubble Gum said without thinking twice. Murmurs began to fly silently through the cluster of stuents. They all turned back to look for who this rich dude was. But the mumurs were quickly drowned in the echo of the next announcement. “Charles Beckham, $18 Million” “Anastasia Hearst, $20 Miliion!” The speaker accounced with so much enthusiam mixed with confusion. She had to call for an attendant to ensure she wasn’t calling the figures wrongly. Three mighty individuals just contributed $53 Million at stretch. The three donors, Princess Anastasia, Dave and Charles were asked to signify themselves and the three of them stood up gently. Everyone began to applaud them immensely. Some students were extremely jealous, others were sad that while they couldn’t even afford a nice car, there were students who could literally just spend
