Tyler boarded a cab to Ava's. He alighted from the cab after a few minutes. He stood in front of a luxurious penthouse. Tyler stared at the tall building and then he looked down to his tattered shoes. He heaved a sigh. Ava is like an icon, and that depicts the kind of people that'll be attending her birthday party. Ava is a sassy lady, and everyone who's close to her dines on the same table, except Tyler. "I hope I don't get judged because of my outfit" Tyler muttered beneath his breath. His shirt - was slightly drenched with rain, and his brown hair - was disheveled as it sprouted lazily across his forehead. A haircut won't hurt Tyler. He clutched the bag in his head and ascended the stairs, heading to the entrance. He arrived in the long hallway. A few people in sight - each minding their business. The address Ava sent asked that he goes to the second floor of the building. Tyler's eyes skimmed around the hallway and he saw a door, leading to an elevator. His eyebrows creased, a
Tyler paused - lips pouted in awe as he stared at Mandy. Mandy also reciprocated the same gesture. She stared at Tyler with eyes pricked with surprise and a glint of disappointment. "Mandy meet my friend Tyler" The awkward silence lasted for a few minutes. Mandy was the mystery lady in the elevator. "You guys know each other? Ava asked as the unidentified familiarity echoed volumes in silence. "....no" Mandy muttered. "It's good to meet you Tyler" Mandy snarled. She tried to be nice but the smirk in her face gave her away. " I've heard a lot about you. You look horrible by the way" Mandy said. Her face formed into a frown and stormed away. "Mandy!" Ava yelled as Mandy walked away. "Ugh..." She let out a deep breath. " I'm sorry about that. Mandy can be a pain in the ass sometimes" Ava said, placing her hands on Tyler's shoulder. "It's fine," Tyler said. "Happy birthday once again. You look beautiful tonight" Tyler complimented. A smile scurried to Ava's lips and her cheeks red
The teammate creased his eyebrows for a moment as Tyler walked away. He has never seen this savage part of Tyler. Tyler is always known for being a spaz and a weird redhead who acts like a child. But this new portrayal of action and confidence is alarming to the brim. **** Tyler walked back into the hallway, the bright walls gleaming at his sides. For the umpteenth time in a day, Tyler feels proud of himself, ranging from the Charlotte, Raul, and the manager saga in the store moments ago, and now - the teammate. He has never gotten a chance to taunt his oppressors. The fact that this opportunity presented itself makes it a moment he's always craved. Tyler turned back to gaze down the hallway he's been trudging from. He caught sight of the teammate walking miles away behind him. Tyler pressed his lips together and turned forward. But.He bumped into someone. His instincts swung into action almost immediately and he gripped the figure by the shoulder. The soft skin under Tyler's pa
Tyler walked down the stairs of the building like nothing happened a few minutes ago. As if he wasn't accused of presenting fake stuff as birthday presents to Ava. As if he wasn't discriminated against because of how he was dressed. He became less worried about that the moment his father's message popped into his phone. At first, that message felt like one of those entries he writes to Will Donalds, but the urgency in the message made him have a quick rethink. Johnson wouldn't pull such a prank on him. Not today. Of all days. Not when his newfound wealth has been revealed to him. Not when the urge for revenge is thumping hard on his chest. Tyler reached for his phone again to read the text his father sent to him again. 'Hey, son. Where you? I just got you a new crib. I need you to come check it out right now. The address is ....... Come quick Tyler" A gasp evaded his lips after he read the text again. He shoved his phone back into his pocket as he waited for a taxi. *** Tyler al
A confused frown appeared on Tyler's face. He blinked rapidly to ensure he wasn't asleep or the words he just heard weren't products of hallucination. "Brother?" He muttered coldly. His voice wasn't audible enough for everyone to hear. "You've have to kill me first before you hurt my brother" The lady added, stepping into the scene. She lazily swept her long braids back to her shoulder. Her deep blue eyes shimmered like the glints of sunlight and her alluring light skin glistened epically, like fine ointment. Her words gave Tyler the reassurance he needed that he heard her the first time she mentioned the word brother. As unreal as it sounds, Tyler swallowed the lump of saliva in his throat. He remained silent, hoping that everything would unfold. There's no flame without fore right? He yearns to see the source of the burning fire. The man who yelled at Tyler a few moments ago bent his head in remorse. The lady stepped closer to Tyler, with a smile curling on her long and elegant
Dear Will, Do you remember the last time I wrote to you? I promised to write to you again, but I added the phrase 'Maybe in another life" I guess I was being prognostic when I wrote that entry because this is a new life, a new Tyler, and of course a new beginning. That's one of the things you always talk about on the STAR TV SHOW right? You always say everyone would always have a new beginning and a new life if they believe and continue to grind. I think my situation is a bit different. Because I was only grinding. I never believed in anything. I was stuck inside my doom, slumping deeper by the second, without a single escape plan. Until the tune changed.Will, I'm the first child of the Johnson family. Yeah, the Johnson family you know. The family owns the most conglomerate in the whole of LA. I got to know about it that night I wrote my last entry to you. I was stunned to the bones too and all I did was go with the flow, even if it all felt unreal and dreamy. My dad knew I wasn'
"Are you nervous?" Kara said, nudging Tyler's shoulder. He's been standing by the entrance for a while and his head had been bent in confusion. Tyler forced a grin, nodding his head, negatively. "No I'm not"Kara feigned a frown and they both chuckled. "I know you're nervous. But its fine" Kara said. She moved closer to Tyler, adjusting the collar of his blue suit. He was decked out in a luxurious suit, his long and unkept hair had been cut, and now he looked pretty different from how he looked days ago. He doesn't look like Tyler the janitor anymore. His appearance now portrays the look of Tyler Johnson. The new found billionaire that's about to take control of his father's company. Tyler heaved a sigh, grazing his hands across the grill. "It all still feels like a dream you know" Tyler said. "A few moments ago, I was wretched and poor and now, this. The whole wealth and money feels unrealistic and weird" He added. "I understand how you feel" "You do?" Tyler cut in with a scoff.
Tyler and Kara sat at the reception in the hospital. Tyler intersected his hands across his chest, staring down the hallway. Kara had her eyes glued to the floor as if it'll take away the anxieties that are thumping in her chest at the moment. Tyler sighed incessantly, and for a moment he forget that Kara was sitting next to him until he mistakenly stepped on her feet. "Ugh... Sorry about that!" He said, swaying out of his realm of thoughts. "It's fine" Kara retorted. Tyler rose on his feet as he loomed to the two nurses at the reception. "Hey," he said, directing the question to neither of them. "Hi, how may I help you?" One of them said. "Please when is the doctor going to come out? We've been waiting here for more than two hours" He said. "Sir, you just have to wait. He'll be out soon" One of the nurse said with a tone of consolation. Tyler stared at her for he few seconds. He hesitated - short of words and then a hand rested on his shoulder. He turned to meet Kara staring
