Patricia looked surprised. "What is going on?" She asked. "What is going on?" She asked once again turning to some members of her campaign team.One of them rushed to the podium, he was a German that went by the name Franz. He leaned to her ear. "I am sorry ma'am but what you just said is a very awful speech.""What!" Patricia was taken aback."You just delivered a derogatory speech in German. Let me look at it." Franz picked up the piece of paper from her hand and glanced at it."Oh my God. It's really bad.""What does it say?" Patricia was shivering."Trust me you don't want to hear it." Franz shook his head."So what do we do now?" "We need to move out of here, and fast."As Patricia and her campaign team hastily exited the venue, whispers spread among the audience. Confused murmurs turned into exclamations as people began to grasp the unintended nature of Patricia's speech. The air crackled with tension, and a wave of disgruntled murmurs swept through the room."This young lad
Victor was at home playing some video games, however with time he became bored and he decided to call Rachel, at least to congratulate her for her successful performance during the pre electoral debate.He dialled her number and immediately she picked it up."Hello Rachel.""Hello who is this?""It is Victor. Victor Mel Santos Clara. The dark handsome guy with dreadlocks.""Oh Victor how are you?""I am fine. I hope everything is going well for you as well?""Everything is fine.""Uh I called just to congratulate you for your performance in the pre electoral debate and the successful presentation of your agenda. I must tell you, it was fire.""Thanks Victor, I am honored.""I also heard about the demonstration.""Yes, according to what I heard, Patricia said something provocative in German and it caused the demonstration.""I was happy that happened. At least now I believe you have a big chance to clinch that position of the director of socials."Rachel just laughed. "We would see how
On a Thursday evening, Victor on an sat on an iron bench there at the junction awaiting Rachel who was going to pick him up for her birthday party.While sitting all solitary and alone, he couldn't help but marvel about the possibility of Alejandro Martinez being able to know about the residence of his alter ego Alexander Steel.Apart from that, he was surprised at the fact that Alejandro Martinez was ready to make this a do or die affair to an extent that the old man had sent some hitmen to take him down.Was he supposed to be surprised? Mr Alejandro had already declared war on his leadership of De Jarrod's'Cereals.Mr Alejandro had done a lot to undermine his leadership, from creating a rebellious faction, orchestrating the bombing of his supply trucks, the violent protests of his workers and now the plan to exterminate Alexander Steel?Victor believed that he had been doing his best to have the upper hand in this co-operate battle but he began to feel guilty of the fact that he had
Their faces were contorted into shapes that depicted disappointment, disapproval, annoyance and disdain.Victor never new any of these guys, apart from some of them that belonged to Rachel's campaign team, but for the ones he knew nothing about, how the hell did they know him?If these people had known him as the college pauper, that would be a complete destruction of his persona there at The Marquez Piso university.Or had he already gone rock bottom in the social circle?As the room fell into a sudden silence, a snarky voice emerged from the crowd, "Rachel, is this your idea of a charity event? Bringing the famous college pauper to your birthday party?"Laughter erupted, and more voices joined in, mocking Victor's presence. "I didn't know we were hosting a charity case tonight!""Maybe he applied to be the mascot so he could earn a few quid for the days meal."Another wave of laughter rippled amongst the crowd.Rachel, visibly uncomfortable, stepped forward, "Hey, that's not fair. V
Victor took off the company's long sleeved shirt, tucked it inside his bag, climbed his scooter and zoomed off to his girlfriend's place.Victor Mel Santos Clara was a college student on scholarship at the prestigious and overly expensive Marquez Piso university.He had earned the scholarship from the state due to his intellectual capacity, however due to his impoverished background, he took a part time job as a delivery man and also earned a few quid from helping some of his colleagues with assignments and projects.Due to his financial struggles, he was always a subject of ridicule among his coursemates who came from homes of prestige and affluence.Despite all this, he counted himself lucky to have a girlfriend in Patricia who was from a well to do family.She was also a student of the Marquez Piso university, and she rendered financial support to Victor since she was fully aware of his financial condition.Victor however reciprocated her kindness by helping her out with assignment
"This young lad here with an unkempt dreadlocks." The burly guy replied scornfully, pointing at Victor who struggled to get ready for the surprise that was able to knock him off his feet.Patricia turned to him, and at once his heart melted. The beautiful girl that he had spent months day dreaming about, was hooking up with another guy, who apparently was rich, and well to do. "Patricia." He hissed in disbelief. "What are you…what are you doing?""Oh Victor, it is you." She scratched her hair, looking less bothered, however she refused to make an eye contact with him. "What is it you want?"He struggled to speak but words could not come out of his mouth. "I - I just -""Hey Patricia, who is this guy and why is he getting so emotional upon seeing you?" The muscular man asked, looking pissed off."Do not worry Steffen, just go back inside I will be with you shortly eh." She caressed his chest and kissed him on his lips."Be quick with this punk okay.""Yeah, I will." She replied.As St
"Whoa, six thousand dollars!" Victor blurted out. "This is more than the transport fare." Victor however began to ponder on the reason for the doctors invitation, however since it was something concerning the hospital, he jumped up from his bed, took his clothes, and went out of his room.His mother was in the sitting room, watching some TV series still on her night gown and white stockings was alarmed when Victor walked out of the room, all dressed up."Where are you going son." She asked, looking above her glasses."I am going to the hospital, doctor Pius invited me.""For what?""I don't know."Mrs Yvonne put up a worried expression on her face. "Um son, I do not have any money to give you as transport fare, even only God knows how we are going to feed tomorrow, I am broke, and the month has not yet ended."Victor looked at his mother in pity, he wanted to speak to her about the six thousand dollars, doctor Pius had sent him, but he refused to do so, because he had no idea what the
"She is a primary school teacher, earning a thousand dollars per month.""And you are a delivery guy earning just a thousand dollars per month and two hundred dollars per delivery?""Yes daddy."Mr Jarrod then motioned to Keegan. "Keegan give me my phone." With Mr Jarrod's phone now in within his grasp, he requested for Victor's account number, and within four minutes he was done with the transaction."Jesus Christ, twenty five million dollars!" Victor hissed in disbelief. "Daddy this is too much, what would I do with twenty five million dollars?""That is just a fraction of what I am going to do, just to make you happy." Mr Jarrod said."But dad, this is too much, thank you very much." Victor said. "Now my mother would be able to pay off the heavy debts, she has accumulated over the years." Victor said satisfactorily."How much does your mother owe?""About a hundred thousand dollars." "Wow, what is your mom doing that she owes the bank a hundred thousand dollars?""She borrowed tha
