"What do you mean?" She asked.Roger ran his hand in his hair and paced around the little space available for him to walk. All of a sudden, he plunged at Harlan and held him by the collar."Do you want to die?" He shouted at Harlan.Harlan was taken aback by the action that he was dumbstruck, but only for a second."Are you out of you mind, man?" Roger asked in a menacing tone."I should be asking you that. Because, a person in his right frame of mind would not be holding someone else's clothes without no explanation."Roger jerked Harlan vigorously."I have had enough of this insanity of yours! How dare you take Elizabeth to your house and take advantage of her!"Harlan stared at him in shock, "what?""Yo, man, you are crazy and trust me, I will get you in an psychiatrist hospital to get your brain correct

There was a roar of "go! Cecilia!" From the students that had gathered.Harlan tilted his head slightly, "what are you saying?""One-one! It's a draw!" One student's voice rose higher than the rest of the buzzing. There were more hailing from the students."Are you drunk, Harlan?" Cecilia snapped."I should be the one asking you that. If you are not drunk, you won't ask me come knee in front of you and tell you that I am sorry for bumping into you. What exactly do you think you are, a god?""Harlan! Harlan!! Harlan!!!" Was the shout from the students.This is actually the first time Harlan would be getting that type of reaction from the students.

There were gasps from the students as Harlan and Elizabeth walked away from the crowd. When they had walked far away from the crowd, Harlan stopped walking and ran his hand through his hair."I am sorry about that. I didn't mean to involve you in things like this," Harlan said."I am trying not to worry about you, but to be honest, I can't help worrying over your face. It's going to be filled with scars pretty soon. Have you thought about that?"Harlan smiled as noticed the worried lines on Elizabeth's face. She looks more beautiful with that look. Harlan stopped himself from saying that."I will be fine. I need a few things to settle with Jason before revealing my identity."Elizabeth sighed and looked away."Don't worry about me," Harlan said softly."I didn't say I was worrying about you. I am just concerned about your face," Elizabeth said and started walking.

Harlan got a call from Andrew, telling him that he would love to see him and tell him everything he wants to hear. Harlan prepared for them to meet in one of the least expensive lounges where people would not pay any attention to them."I am sorry for the image we might have portrayed the other day. Simon shouldn't have said that, but he gets some nuts loose in his head from time to time. Makes him unpredictable." Andrew said as he lit the cigar. "Yeah, I understand that you love the Alberts so much that you will be willing to die for them." Harlan said quietly as he took a sip from the soft drink he had requested for."I can't die for anyone actually.""If you are ready to live on the street because of them and continue living as thugs, you are more or less living your life for them. There will be nothing different in dying for them."Andrew grinned, "I love your sense of humour."

"Everyone get out!" Jason growled as he walked into the lecture hall.There was silence. No one moved."Everyone except Harlan should get out before the count of two!"

Elizabeth stood up and yawned. She stretched her limbs. She sat lazily on the bed and took her phone that had been there on silence mode all the while.She had decided that she was going to surprise Harlan with what she came up with on the topic for the research and because of that, she had not gone to school today. Since the rest of the group members didn't seem to be ready to come up with anything with the topic and Elizabeth wasn't ready to get promoted to the final year in college on the basis that her father was the founder of the college, she had done the major things about the research. Having spent more than ten hours doing her research on the topic, the rest was nothing much for the rest of the group members to tackle.As she turned on the phone, she saw about fifty eight missed calls and two hundred messages. On normal days, she got nothing less than fifty messages from people in the college, especially guys who wanted to go on a

He sat up in bed quickly, ignoring the pain that shot across his body. It's been twenty four hours now in the hospital, but the pain was still unbearable for him. He had been lucky not to break a bone during the fight."Dad? Uncle?""You are such a disgrace!" His father spat."For how long are you going to keep us in this mess? If you are tired of living you can kill yourself!" His uncle said.Jason looked down, "I am sorry.""You are sorry? That is all you will say after all you have done to the Alberts prestige?" His uncle asked in anger."I am really sorry," Jason muttered."Do you know how many people are seeing the videos of what nonsense you did in school yesterday? As if that is not enoug

Combine his handsomeness with his being a genius and you have…" "Harlan Smith!" The audience and the graduating students shouted, completing the MC's sentence for him. Harlan came on to the stage, dressed in an academic gown. "Hey, Harlan, where is your cap?" Mr Healy asked in a whisper as he was about to hand over the prize to him. "Mrs Smith is wearing it," he said. "Now, you have to snap this picture without the cap," Mr Healy pretended to sulk. "Even with that, I still stand out," Harlan said and smiled.

Harlan dropped the envelope containing all the cards on the table. On the same table was his car key, his ATM card and a note which read: goodbye. Thank you.He remembered the exciting feeling that he felt on the day Mr Smith gave him those cards. He shook his head quickly to get rid of the thought. This isn't time to be emotional. He just cannot forgive his parents for what they did. He had always hoped that his father would never have peace, just look what happened. All these while, he had been Harlan Smith without knowing it.He opened the door and went outside. He only took four clothes and a extra pants. He would start from scratch and go back to living the life he used to live before Mr Smith came into his life.The light in the compound made it a very beautiful sight to behold.

Harlan almost choked on his food. He grabbed a cup of water and drank from it. She made a tsk tsk sound. "You are just like your father. Your face is flushed.""I am eating mo… Mrs Smith!" He almost called her 'Mom'."Does that mean you are studying law?" She asked."Yes. I am in my final year.""Wow! I can't wait to wear your graduation cap."Harlan found himself laughing in between eating. Throughout the rest of the day, he and Mrs Smith were discussing. She told him about her perfume company about how much she loved what she was doing. Harlan found out that she was a very easy going person. He had missed having her in his life all these years and he found himself wondering how great life would have been if she had been part of his childhood days.Later in the evening, Mr Smith came back home and the first thing he did was to turn on the television. The case had been a really fast one. Harlan would bet that everything was possible only by Mr Smith's influence. All the people that

He could not help thinking the CEO had come to check on his girlfriend who had come here with another man.Harlan stood up and left. The footage officer stared at his back. The CEO doesn't seem to be in the same mood he had been when he came in. He shrugged.****Harlan found himself at the large field where he already went whenever he was overwhelmed. He had had a lot of surprises in the past six months but none of them has even been as shocking as this. He rolled on the field and faced the sky. He heard the sounds of birds nearby and wondered if he would have any problem if he were a bird.He replayed all he heard from some hours ago in his head. The conversation between Mr Smith and Mrs Smith. His father and mother… he closed his eyes. So all these while, he had those two people's blood flowing in his veins and he wasn't aware of it.He took his phone from where it was lying beside him

Chapter 153: The real Harlan Smith
Harlan crossed over to where he had parked his car. He got inside and looked out through the window. In the next seventy two hours, he would be buying up all what the Alberts had. Through the help of Mr Smith, he had been able to refile the cases that the Alberts had been guilty of but had won. Mr Smith had told him how difficult that was, but he had not taken no for an answer.He took a deep breath and silently prayed that all these would be over. He had been able to get the victims of the Alberts and had convinced them that they would be duly compensated if they came back for their cases again.As he was about to turn on the car. He saw someone familiar pass him by. Mrs Smith? The fact that she was alone, with no bodyguard, made him more curious to know why she was at the hotel.

Mr Richard Albert has been meaning to see you all these while. He asked for your number but I didn't want to give him until I asked for your permission first.""Tell him to meet me at the Jay Team lounge," Harlan said and hung up."Drive to Jay Team," Harlan told Jack."I checked into the company where you made your friend the manager, things have gone really wrong there.

Chapter 151: Riffraff
The Alberts were in a pensive mood as everyone of them sat in the family hall. Unlike the other meetings where there would be chatters before the meeting started, today, everyone was focused on the phone, reading the various posts on social media that had managed to circulate around in the last three days. "Richard, how many companies don't want to partner with us anymore?" Grandfather asked."Seventeen."Grandfather sighed. "Let them go." "What are the updates about those riffraffs?" Grandfather asked."The TV station where they went refused to disclose anything about their identity. I have met with the owner of the station but he isn't saying anything," someone said."I have a friend there but he is more clueless than we are about the matter," someone else added."I have checked into it but there is really no one I suspect to have done this among our business rivals," another person said.Richard felt a feeling that he had missed something out...

Another movie had begun on the television and they both watched it as they ate the pizza Elizabeth had ordered. She kept stealing glances at Harlan. She had a lot of questions to ask him but she didn't know which one to ask first. "Stop staring at me," Harlan said without taking his eyes off the television."Huh?" She blushed and looked away.She looked back at the television and reached out to take a slice of pizza. At that same time was when Harlan was going to take one too. Because he was looking at the television too, he grabbed Elizabeth's hand. He glanced at her and for some unexplainable reasons, her face flushed."Hmm, I need to get something inside," she stood up and almost ran to her room. She locked the door behind her and held her fast beating chest. "Darn!"Harlan is in the sitting room… Why the heck is she over-thinking it? She shook her head and turned on the light in her room. She glanced at her face in the mirror. It was flushed. "No. This can't be happening!" She

Elizabeth didn't know how long she had been staring at Harlan's picture on the poster that had been placed in different places all over the campus. In the poster, the pictures of the six of them that had won the competition were there. When Harlan and Roger wouldn't show up, herself, Jason, Cecilia and Adrian had taken the picture. Roger had sent his picture and she had given Harlan's picture from the ones posted on the group chat when the gossip about their dates first started. Some skillful graphic designer had managed to put the pictures of the six of them together. In the picture, Harlan was the only person that stood out to Elizabeth.She looked around to be sure no one had been looking at her. There was no one. She sighed.Her phone beeped. It was a message from Harlan... No, a message from Jack because he is the one with Harlan's phone now. She checked it and saw a picture of some guy in a suit and tattoo on his neck.
