Ramon looked at her "How do you allow them do this to you? You are also a queen in the campus. I don't get." Ramon asked wth his eye brow quipped.

"There is alot you don't know about Ramon Cruz." She said gently picking up the broken cup on the floor.

Ramon felt like telling Violet his secret, but he knew it was too early. Suddenly a thought crept into his mind. He could date Violet to replace Chloe.

"I know this might sound stupid, but I can see you are being treated unfairly by your friends. Do you want to take revenge against them?" Ramon asked looking at Violet.

"Revenge? What are you talking about in this your present condition? You will date me, Violet Meyers?"

Violet looked at Ramon and wasn't sure what he was asking of her. "Do you want to be the laughing stock of the university? Because I don't really understand." She cleaned her face getting up to her feet.

Ramon knew the time was ticking and he need to start spending his money or else his contract will be terminated.

"I don't know why I am talking to you. Maybe because I feel apologetic towards us or maybe.... or maybe I just don't know what I want anymore." Violet said sobbing and Ramon felt bad for her. He couldn't believe she was going through what he was going through too. He had thought he was all alone and here is another victim right in front of him.

Ramon knew he had to make Violet believed in him. "If you accept to be my girlfriend, then I can do whatever you are asking of me." Ramon said.

Violet looked at him again down to his wheelchair and smiled.

"Can you afford me?"

Violet was begining to feel herself and Ramon laughed.

"Try me."

"Okay, Chloe and her friends are going to get some clothes for the prom show coming up for the fresher. Can you buy me the most expensive clothes?" Violet asked looking at Ramon.

"Is that all? What about my proposal? Ain't you going to consider it too? " He asked rubbing his temple

"I will only do that if you fulfill my first wish." Violet said still looking at Ramon in a daring way.

Ramon knew he needed to make a good first impression. "Here, please type me your details." Ramon passed his phone to her.

Violet pressed her number and her phone beeped. She counted her zeros and her phone dropped on the floor.

"Who are you?" She asked looking at Ramon weirdly.

Violet looked at her phone and back at Ramon. "This is too much. I can't spend all on just buying myself a dress." she looked at him with her mouth wide open. Violet still didn't believe Ramon was the son of a nobody.

"Do you want to tell me who you are?" She asked again making Ramon smile.

"So you accept my proposal. Think of what we could do with joining hands to fight Xavier and Chloe. They both have been a thorn in our flesh." Ramon looked at Violet.

She was about to say yes, when the door opened again making their heartbeat.

"There you are. Are you alright?" Mark asked looking at Ramon who was looking a little tense.

"I am fine, Mark. You should help me thank her, Violet. She came to my rescue." Ramon said beaming with a smile and looked at Mark.

"Thank you Violet for taking care of my friend." Mark smiled, "I will give the two some space. I will be outside by the door. We can start going home when you are ready." Mark said.

They both watched as he walked out of the room. Violet looked at Ramon again.

"Are you a king?"

"Can you stop asking me that already? What does it matter if I am a king, chief, or even citizen? I can afford what many of the kings would be dying to have." Ramon bragged seeing the money he had in his account.

Violet looked at him and furrowed her eyebrow "You should know by now what hierarchy is all about. That is why we are always a victim of being bullied. We need to move in rank to be able to stand up for ourselves."

"You are a queen and does it matter? No, we just need to be able to stand up to their bully and we are going to give them a taste of their own medicine. Just follow my lead." Ramon looked at Violet and wheeled towards her.

"Just be my contract girlfriend for just throughout the semester." He said staring at her face.

"Then what is in it for me?" Violet asked.

"You are going to benefit everything you ever want. I will Make sure you are the pride of the school and many would envy you." Ramon's promise made Violet even wonder more about who he really is.

Ramon wheeled towards the door and looked at her " Think about it and give me a reply tomorrow."

Having said that, he wheeled himself out. "You should take your time." Mark smiled.

"Do you like her?"

    "Violet, you mean?" Ramon asked looking at his face. "Yes, it looked like I'm interrupted something earlier when I walked in." "Nothing really, I was just thanking her about how she had saved me. She even makes me coffee. I guess you are not the only nice human on the campus." Ramon looked at Mark from the wheelchair. "I guess not," he replied with a smile. "Who made the rules for this."Ramon's curiosity was getting the best of him. " What rules?" he asked staring at Ramon. "King, chief, and citizens. Violet was bothered about it." Ramon asked "Do you plan on saving her because clearly, you can't save anyone not even yourself? I would advise you to face your life and forget about her." Mark advised. "Can you at least tell me who made the rules?" "Well, it has been like that since the University was founded.

No one, not even the “kings” and “chiefs” of the university hierarchy, could ignore him now.The stares came from all directions. Some people whispered in admiration, others in confusion, and a few in resentment.

    Chapter 13As Ramon, Violet, and Lila crouched in the shadows, watching Xavier and his co-kings. They were concealed behind a stack of old crates, their breaths shallow as they listened to the speeches echoing through the dimly lit room. Lila, a few feet away, was trembling slightly, her hand resting on Ramon’s arm as if seeking strength from his presence. He glanced at her and gave a reassuring nod, silently promising her that they would see this through together.The gathering was intense. At the front of the room, Xavier spoke with a powerful, almost hypnotic tone, his words calculated to fuel the obedience of his followers. His voice filled the air, smooth and commanding as he preached about the importance of unity, loyalty, and absolute power. Yet there was something dark beneath his rhetoric—a simmering hostility directed at anyone who dared to challenge him. Ramon could see how Xavier had cultivated a culture of fear and control, casting himself as the indispensable leader,

After the showdown with Xavier, they had all agreed to lay low and regroup. They hadn’t spoken much on the way back, each of them lost in thought, absorbing the night’s events.Violet broke the silence first, her voice low. “Do you think they’ll retaliate?”Ramon looked up from the screen, his expression unreadable. “If Xavier thinks he still has a chance to keep control, he will. He’s too arrogant to let this go.”Lila bit her lip, glancing nervously at the door as if expecting someone to burst through at any moment. “He’s going to come after us.

    Ramon sat alone in his room, the walls cloaked in the warm glow of his computer screen. The message from Xavier still lingered in his mind, its threat hanging like a storm cloud, but he pushed it aside, focusing instead on the small icon that had changed everything. The system.It was the mysterious app that had appeared on his phone the night Xavier had crippled him, promising revenge and unimaginable wealth. So far, it had been true to its word. Each challenge it presented offered skills, abilities, and rewards that made him sharper, stronger, and more prepared to take down Xavier’s grip on the university and beyond. But it wasn’t just about Xavier anymore; the system was transforming Ramon’s entire life, unlocking opportunities he’d never dreamed possible.Ramon opened the app, noting the notification in the corner of the screen: New Quest Available.

    Ramon sat in the dim light of his dorm room, his fingers running through his hair in frustration. Everything had been moving so smoothly. The system had guided him through the ups and downs, helping him expose Xavier’s family’s corruption and rally his supporters on campus. But in a cruel twist, the rug had been pulled out from under him.Xavier's retaliation had hit hard. After the video Ramon leaked went viral, Xavier’s family had mobilized their resources. They’d launched a defamation campaign against Ramon, spreading rumors and slander that painted him as a manipulative fraud. Key members of the administration, all in Xavier’s father’s pocket, had blocked his attempts to present his case formally. It was worse than just losing credibility; Ramon was now on the brink of expulsion.Sitting in the gloom, he reached for his phone, opening the system for guidance. His screen lit up with a familiar message:New Quest: Survive the StormObjective: Find a way to clear your name and avoid

    Rebuilding TrustRamon sat alone in the campus café, his mind still swirling with the aftermath of Xavier's downfall. For weeks, he and Violet had dedicated themselves to unmasking Xavier’s corruption, finally breaking his hold over the university. But the victory had come with its share of losses. One of those was Mark, his best friend since freshman year, who had cut ties after warning him to stay away from Xavier’s gang. At the time, Ramon had ignored Mark’s pleas, thinking his friend just didn’t understand his vision for change. But as time passed, he realized the depth of Mark's disappointment—and how much he missed him.The café door swung open, and Ramon’s heart skipped a beat as Mark walked in, looking around. Their eyes met, and for a moment, neither moved, caught between familiarity and uncertainty. Mark took a deep breath and approached the table."Mind if I sit?" he asked, his voice a bit tense.Ramon nodded, gesturing to the chair across from him. "Go ahead."Mark lowered
