It was none other than Nathan Reed. “Oh my fucking god! This isn’t happening!” “No way! Is that the orphan?” “I don’t understand what is going on. Do you know him?” “I do. I fucking do. He is.. I mean.. was a broke kid in my college. We often called him a church rat. It seems the rat has found gold in cheese.” “Hell yeah! That dude is fucking crazy!!” “$40 million for a sculpture? Dude must be a billionaire!” As Nathan rose up in the spotlight, the air around him became sophisticated. His aura and charisma flew across the whole room. Almost every damn girl in that hall was immediately drawn to him. His handsome face, his physique. They admired it. What even made it more memorable was that Kamsi, who was dressed like a goddess, stood beside him. They looked like the world’s best siblings. Nathan was then given a microphone to say something. Anything. “Um, hi. I’m happy to be of help. If this was 10 years ago, my sister and I would be clutching our hands as we watch
“Oh, hi, Amanda. What a surprise. The event is still ongoing.” Nathan said and gave off a mature smile. “Um.. hi, Nathan. Yeah. They are um.. simply making closing remarks. So, I.. you know.. came to see you off!” Amanda stammered. Nathan chuckled. See him off? Why? When did that start? Well, just a few seconds ago. “I appreciate your care, Amanda. Now, I have to get going. And you also need to get back. Your boyfriend must be waiting for you!” Nathan said and smiled. “Umm.. no no. It’s fine. So, um.. I see things are working just fine for you now. It’s cool!” Amanda said. Nathan understood her reason for being here and what she wanted. He was no fool. She now has a boyfriend and he has to respect that fact. He wouldn’t want to pry into the relationship of two people. “Well, Amanda, hard work does pay, doesn’t it? And oh, things have always been working for me. I mean, I had everything I needed; my loved ones. I only had to change the trajectory.” He responded. Amanda
Nathan was brutally tired. He had expected to have a good time at the gala event, but it was ruined by Dave and he was understandably angry. Nathan had never done anything to upset Dave, well, except the time when Nathan beat Dave mercilessly for stealing his babe. But those were bygones and Nathan now had a new life. He just wanted to live alone and happy, But Dave had pushed him to the wall and now, he was going to pay for it. He pulled out his phone and called Fred. “How many percentage of shares do you mention that we own in Mr. Lynch’s company, Fred?” “65% of shares, young master. We have 65% of shares in D Royals eat out. Is there something wrong, young master?” Fred asked. “I want you to take back all the shares in the company and close any further dealings with Mr. Lynch. If he is smart enough to beg you, offer to buy his business and make him the manager. His pay should be fair. All the documents of the purchased company should be sent to me!” Nathan said angrily.
Nathan was shocked to his bones as he saw those images. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked up at the principal. He looked through her eyes and read her expression. She wasn’t so convinced that the young man sitting before her was truly capable of such a hideous crime. “Come on, Mrs. Heather, you do not possibly believe this, do you? This is a fake image. It is clearly a photoshopped image. Why would I ever loot a car? It is not even possible!” Nathan explained. “I believe you are telling the truth, Nathan. But belief is not enough. The company reached out to us today and informed us that the very car you drove to the gala last night was a stolen property and they have no record of selling that car to any individual.” Mrs. Heather kindly explained. “This is ridiculous. I…” “Hold it there, young man! You are a thief and a liar. Everything you say and do is fake. Is it even possible for a student as broke and incompetent as you to be able to purchase a car worth $900 Millio
“Young man, you are a thief, is that so hard to see? Just plead guilty, turn in the car and serve a few months of punishment. If you keep refusing to cooperate, things will only get worse for you,” the officer said sternly, his tone brooking no argument. Nathan sat in the interrogation room, his hands clenched into fists. He was disappointed with the fact that even the police could not dig into this matter and ensure that both parties were heard from. Or maybe they did dig into the matter and found out the truth, but they were too greedy to refuse a bribe. They chose to turn a blind eye due to their own interests or the influence of powerful individuals involved. The company had definitely met up with them and they had definitely made an alliance. For real though, when the company heard that a little college kid had ownership of the most expensive car they ever made, they knew that was a quicksand to quickly drown the young boy in. Who would believe a young college kid anyway? W
“Oh my goodness! This is absolutely insane!” “Damn! This isn’t happening, is it?” The following day at school, a viral news spread across all the universities in London. Everyone was tweeting and making videos about it. See Dave who had spent the previous night partying with the team got high and slept in the bar. He woke up late and quickly had to drive back home to prepare for school. This resulted in his coming late to school. As soon as he got to school, everyone began to act strangely while looking at him - his shoes -. Previously, they would look in admiration of the Diamond Bunny shoe worn beautifully on his feet. But today, their reactions were rather unusual. They looked at it in disgust and he didn’t know why. Dave quickly met up with his gang and demanded the reason for the unusual behaviour from everyone. “Take off your shoes bro! Now! Put these on.” Draco began and tossed a normal sneakers to him. “The fuck you mean ‘take off your shoes’? These are worth $5 M
“Has it been done?” Nathan asked Fred. After a few seconds, Fred texted back with a yes. “You should have seen him beg like a dog. And yes, his son is indeed a spoilt young man!” Fred admitted. “Good, Now, he has three days to pay up the share fees. If he is unable to do so in that time frame, we will continue with our plan. We offer to buy his company before it crashes.” Nate texted back. “Now, come get me out of this fucking cell. It is a disaster here!” After a few minutes, a Mercedes Maybach pulled over in front of the police station. Fred stepped out looking elegant and expensive. The aura and charisma he carried passed a clear information to onlookers as to who he really was. “Hello, sir,” the female police officer at the counter welcomed Fred with utter respect. Judging from his status and looks, she could tell that really, this was a man of high value. “Save your greetings, I have a release order for Nathan Reed immediately!” He ordered. The officer nodded
The morning was a beautiful one for Nathan. He slept well and did not bother waking up to prepare for school as he was under suspension. He actually needed to have a good night’s rest. He had the most busy month of his entire life. As soon as he was out of bed, he walked into the kitchen to prepare himself a cup of coffee. He looked at the world through the facade of his window and he admired the serenity that lavished his mighty home. It was empty, really empty. Sometimes, he would even hear his own echoes when he made calls. He needed people around. Despite the fact that he loved living in solitude, it was mentally exhausting. He thought about his friends, Marcus and Neil. He understood their feelings and chose to see things from their perspectives. They had every right to be angry. He never told them who he was and how he got his wealth. He wished they would understand that he despised attention and he only desired to keep his wealth a secret. How would they react if he just
