When Melissa heard this, she smiled widely. “Bye mom,” she said. “You better be a good girl, okay?” Her mom responded, and she nodded in agreement.And then her mom walked back into their compound, and the gateman locked the door behind her.With her mom finally out of the picture, Melissa turned and faced me.“You know that was a dirty move right, I told you I didn’t want to meet your parents,” I said and gave her a straight look.“Well, she insisted. And it’s not like she doesn’t like you anyway, hehe,” she responded and skipped toward my car.‘She wins this round,’ I thought.She finally got to the front of the car, and squealed in excitement.“Oh my god, Malcolm, is this your car?” She asked.“Yes it is,” I responded. I walked toward the driver’s seat and opened the door with my keys, and she hopped into the car.“How can you even afford something this expensive?” She asked.“I’m rich,” I responded and started the engine.I revved the engine loudly before I began to move, my usua
I wasn’t too surprised by it, I knew Melissa as the type who was very forward and going after whatever she wanted.I kept my cool and kissed her back, I wrapped my arm around her head, and the other around her waist.We both really got deep into the kiss, and after almost a full minute, I pulled back.When she looked into my eyes, she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.I simply smiled back and said nothing.As if on cue, the Ferris wheel began to move again and soon, we were back on the ground.We walked back into the car, and I drove her home.She was quiet throughout the ride, but not because she was angry or anything, because she was content.‘So after my whole makeover and everything, I still didn’t even get a compliment,’ I thought to myself.Well it wasn’t like I was trying to look good for her anyway, I wanted to make looking good my lifestyle.When we finally got to her house, I parked at the usual place and escorted her to the gate.When we were finally about to part ways she
I picked up the phone and spoke.“Logan, I was just about to call you,” I said.“Oh really, weird,” he said and laughed.Even though he tried to keep the tone as friendly as possible, I could tell something was off.The way he laughed, his voice sounded like he was in trouble.I sensed something like this the last time we spoke, but I denounced it as nothing.And now there I was having that feeling again, something was definitely wrong.‘I’ll hear what he has to say first, and if he doesn’t bring up the issue, I’ll have to get to the bottom of it myself,’ I thought.Logan was my friend, and what kind of friend would I be if my comrade was in trouble, and I did nothing to help.I wanted to let him know that if something was bothering me, he could tell me.“So what’s up, why did you call? Do you need something?” He asked.“Logan, is something wrong?” I asked.“What do you mean Malcolm?” He asked, trying to hide his emotions.“It’s obvious that something is off with you, tell me what’s w
After we finished eating, I packed the dishes and took them back to the kitchen.The cleaning lady was still there so I politely asked her to help us do the dishes.She nodded in approval and I commended her for a job well done, and she smiled heartily.I then went back to the outdoor lounge and spoke to Logan.“Well I know it wasn’t much, but I personally made those sandwiches. What do you think?” I asked and smiled.“Actually they were very nice, it’s not like making sandwiches is a big deal though, but you did good Malcolm,” he said and we both laughed.I was glad the mood had lightened a bit, that was my intention exactly when I brought the food.We chatted about some non business related stuff a bit more, and soon we were totally relaxed.As I saw that we were both calm and in good moods now, I seized the opportunity to ask him what was wrong.“So Logan, dude what exactly is going on with you?” I asked.“Well Malcolm, I got fired,” he said calmly.It didn’t come as a surprise to
The second arc begins and the story takes us to the halls of the Ruby mansion, where a lone figure is seen making her way across the grand, brightly lit room.That person is none other than, Mrs Alice Ruby.She swings open two large doors when she gets to the edge of the hall, bringing her into the personal workspace of someone of unknown origin.He sar across the room at a large desk, and was seen writing something down.[Stepmom’s POV]‘This feeling, it’s appalling. It’s the first time I’ve tasted defeat from him in so many long years. Consecutive losses at that,’ I thought.The thoughts danced endlessly inside my head, and as I made my way across the large halls of the Ruby mansion, I had only one thing in my mind, revenge.I got to the edge of the room and swung the large oak doors open, and I was brought into an office where i could see a lone figure, at a desk at the end of the room.That lone figure, was the illegitimate head of the Ruby family, my father, Mr Anon.I made my wa
[Malcolm’s POV]I found myself checking in at a hotel, but not to spend the night, it was for my meeting.A meeting that should’ve come way earlier, but for some unknown reason, perhaps of fear of me, or fear of my step mother, had been avoided.Either way, it was a long time coming, and as I paid for the room, I went in and prepared myself to meet up with the criminals, my henchmen as I often referred to them as.After I declined my phone call with them, I’d arranged for a meeting with them, and here I was.It was the evening of the day I’d met up with Logan, and I chose to meet up there, because I didn’t want them to have any information of my whereabouts.It was kind of ironic however, my house address could clearly be seen on the magazines I had my face published on, but I guess my estate’s security was well to do.I waited patiently in the room, rocking my usual face mask and hoodie.‘Come to think of it, are the media allowed to just publish my face in a magazine, without my kno
The phone didn’t ring for long before he picked it up and I spoke to him.“Hey Logan, come over to my place, I have some things I need to discuss with you,” I said.“Alright then, I’ll be there in a few moments,” he responded.“Good I’ll meet you there,” I said and hung up.I zoomed out of the hotel and headed back home, as usual I needed to utilize these months I had at home effectively, so I would be discussing business with him once again.I arrived home shortly and thankfully he wasn’t around yet.I didn’t have much to do, so I waited till a cab pulled up directly at my gate.The gatekeeper opened the gates for them and sure enough, Logan came down from the taxi.He paid the cab man and they were on their way and he came into the house and was greeted by me.“How did you get the cab to come all the way in here?” I asked him.“I’m rich now,” he said simply and we both burst out laughing.We sat down at the outdoor lounge and chatted for a short while before getting down to business
The next day I woke up in high spirits, my results would be coming out that morning and I was eager to see how they would turn out.I was told at an earlier date that a link would be sent to our emails, where we would be able to check our results.I immediately jumped to my feet and rushed to my computer.Sure enough, the email was right there waiting for me.I clicked on the link and after a few steps, I was finally able to access my result.What I saw exceeded my expectations, I finished the exam top of the set, and I had perfect scores in all the subjects.I expected this, but I didn’t think it would actually happen. I ran downstairs and met Logan in one of the living rooms, he was doing some push ups.I jumped on him and we both crashed to the floor, thankfully we had a soft landing.He sat up first and was scratching his hair, “heyyy, what was that about,” he said.I jumped up to my feet and asked him to follow me, and I practically dragged him up the stairs.When we got to my ro
