Kagern could see it from ten meters away, a few steps behind 5 girls who liked it when a person called them Naughty Girls. He was always told to mind his own business but he didn't think picking up a card for a classmate was something bad. That's why he picked it up and took a few fast and wide steps toward the Naughty Girls."Excuse me, miss!" he said as he tapped Karen on the shoulder. He was a few meters away when the card fell but he had seen who it fell from. Karen. Naughty Girls had earned themselves a reputation of being arrogant and spoilt. They thought themselves as not-on-the-same-level as other people at 4TA University. Now... now someone like Kagern was tapping on their leader's shoulder.They turned around all at once, wearing mockey expressions on their faces. They were ready to teach him a lesson. Kagern had no intention of being misunderstood so he hurried to explain himself. "You dropped this!" he said, his gaze fixed on Karen.To his surprise, Karen gave him a
As soon as Karen saw Kagern, her face brightened with a mischievous smile, turning into a wide grin as if met an old friend. "Oh! What a surprise!" she exclaimed as she walked towards him. Her bodyguards walked close-by. "I didn't know you're a thief in real life.Like usual, she wore a designer dress that hugged her womanly figure, as white as her silver hair and with a slit that left her right thigh exposed. 'Only if her actions were as decent as she looks!'With this thought, Kagern took a step to meet her, angered with her comment. He said, "I'm surprised that you still remember me. After all, you've bullied too many people in your life to remember their faces. But let me advise you, mind your words! I'm not a thief.""Ha! What are you doing here if you're not a thief then?""Heard you called my friend a thief and sent your men to kill him so I came," replied Kagern.By now, Karen was a few inches from him. She glanced at Belinda, then said, "Oh! So your friend is the thief? She
Hearing Karen call the guy uncle, you would imagine a typical man in his or above 40s, sweet and kind to her and the country. No! The man was a living Lucifer, charged with human trafficking cases countless times but the court never defeated his lawyers. He always had a trump card or two... or even more to escape justice. Now, Kagern couldn't bring himself to imagine what horrors Karen meant by her uncle having good use for them. For him and Eric, it would be some body parts like heart, kidney and... everything vital. ...and something even more horrific for the girls. It was not a fate he would wish for Belinda or even Erica even though she had been a c. u. n. t to him.This alone made Kagern see Karen in a new shade. Evil. What kind of a person does that to people for just a $10, 000 computer? What if it was 100 million dollars as she claimed? Was it worth four lives of her fellow students? No wonder her scripts never sold. Like other students from 4TA University, an institution
"I can pay double the amount he paid you," seeing that she had nowhere to run, instead of getting out of her car, Karen tried to persuade Kagern's men to switch sides. They kept quiet. This enraged her but she had no choice but to maintain a smile on her face. "Are you sure?" No one spoke to her. Kagern was liking it. As if seducing the man would do the trick, she tried to touch kagern's security team leader who stood beside her car door, telling her to get out. The young man took a step backward, dodging her advance. Embarrassed, she burst out laughing, got out of her car and strolled towards him."I can see you're playing hard to get," she said, pressing her chest on him. "But that's normal for a handsome and decent man like you. Don't worry! We can talk in private. There will surely be something even more exciting for you besides the double amount I'm offering, don't you think?"The young man glanced at Kagern, seemingly annoyed with Karen's actions. Kagern was no fool. He cou
A few minutes passed in silence, Karen fuming in fury and looking at Belinda like she wanted to cut her in half. Kagern caught sight of her fingers which were shuddering, a sign that she was exerting much pressure into them as if she wanted to craw someone's face with them. However, in a hopeless situation like this, she knew she had no choice but to allow them to bully her. 'Is it even a big deal?'She asked herself, internally.'I just have to pick up some money, go back home and prepare my revenge. This is nothing compared to what I will do to them, especially this bitch for running her mouth like her brother owns this world.'These thoughts boosted her courage once again, then, with a smile, she said, "It's just picking these notes, right?"Kagern nodded as he added, "But just you. If it's over the car, climb there yourself!""That's unreasonable and cruel," she quickly protested. "You can't expect a beautiful girl like me to climb over a car, wearing a dress like this, too many
As Kagern stepped through the ornate entrance of the Golden Heart Hotel, the grandeur of Surreal City's most prestigious establishment he had entered countless times impressed him once again... like it always did. It's only that he was among its V-VIPs this time, not a waiter like before. 'Damn!'He had left Belinda to continue the journey home at her own (of course he knew how stubborn Karen could be so he gave her Tharn to drive her) with a promise that he would make sure to visit once he got time to, take her shopping and help her get ready to return at 4TA on Monday. "But why are you returning to the hotel so suddenly?" She tried to ask him what was the reason for his change of plans but he couldn't tell her about his dad, could he? When he took long to respond, Belinda looked at him with a suspicious smile, then all of a sudden, her face beamed as if she had discovered a treasure. She asked with a mischievous grin, "Was it Bingle who called?""Hell no!" Kagern quickly refuse
The word billions was a temptation even to Kagern, a son to the richest man in Cereal City and also, of course, Surreal city—especially now that he had spent 3 years in poverty, enduring mockery and humiliation.However, he couldn't understand why a man like his father would give up on his revenge just because of a few billions. His heart sank at the thought that the Williams Family would never pay for what they did. For forcing him to change everything about him and become a living dead. 'They're the reason I never saw or talked to Bella again!''The reason I accepted that cheater's proposal.''I'll never forgive them!'Though he knew he had close to no words to change his father's mind, he couldn't just let it be. "But Dad, is money worth the misery we suffered?"His father leaned back in his chair, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Sometimes, son, the best revenge is not immediate retaliation, but patient planning," he replied, his voice laced with a hint of cunning. "We'll b
The father son duo discussed more other topics as they carried on with their meal, but the father's teases didn't stop.That's why Kagern couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when they finished their meal and his father readied himself to leave. "Son, you're the future of my empire," said his father as he stood up and took a step toward Kagern. "Make sure you live up to its reputation.""Of course, dad!"The man gave him one last proud and admirable look before tapping him on the shoulder and heading for the door. Kagern's gaze lingered on him, his nails tracing the 10 billion dollar card in his hand. He couldn't tell exactly what kind of feelings he had. Just yesterday, he was a pauper, making a living off part time jobs and ghost writing scripts, without hope for the future. Mr. Stanley, a man his father had given him to take care of him was dead, a chance to communicate with his imprisoned father with him. Who would have thought that things would turn out this good short
