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!" He bellowed.A lot of timid students ran out, leaving the brave ones behind. The ones that didn't get out were at alert.Jason walked over to Harlan who was pressing his phone as if what was happening wasn't any of his concern.Jason dragged Harlan up from the seat, collected the phone from Harlan and threw it across the hall. Harlan stared at him in shock."What the heck!" Harlan shouted.Jason slapped him across the face. And held him by the collar."You are mad, isn't it?""You got to explain what this —" Harlan started to say when a slap from Jason interrupted him."After my warning for you not to have anything to do with Liza you are still bold enough to go af
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
Jason's father and Jason's uncle entered the room where Jason has been admitted to the hospital.Jason opened his eyes slowly at the sound of the door. He saw his father and uncle. 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
A day later, Harlan was starting to recover from the pain from the fight gradually. It was one of those moments when the doctor had just come in to inject him with sedatives and cracked some jokes before leaving.He heard a knock on the door before it opened."Someone is here to see you, Sir," the nurse told Harlan.Since this wasn't his first time here and everyone knew him to be Harlan Smith, he was treated with a lot of respect"Who?""She said her name is Elizabeth. She didn't tell me her surname."Harlan glanced at the nurse, "Elizabeth?""Yes Sir. Should I let her in? If you don't want to see her I would tell her that you are still resting.""Tell her to come in.""Okay sir." She said and went out.Harlan cleared his throat severally before the door opened and Elizabeth came in.Elizabeth was wearing white pants with a blouse
Two days later, Harlan got discharged and on the morning of the next day, Harlan drove to school in the new car that Jack had helped him get from the Alberts car agency. He parked the car and walked toward the hall. He had barely walked for a minute when two cops stopped him."You are Harlan?" One of the cops asked"Yes.""Come with us to Mr Healy's office, now." Harlan looked at the two cops for some seconds before going with them to Mr Healy's office. When they got to his office, they allowed Harlan to enter before they went away."Good morning, Sir," Harlan greeted Mr Healy.Mr Healy took off his glasses and looked at Harlan. He shook his head slowly as if seeing Harlan was the most disgusting thing he has ever had to do."I don't want to have any conversation with you until Jason comes," Mr Healy said before putting on his glasses. He focused on the files on the tabl
Mr Healy stared at Harlan, eyes widened. "What... Did you just say?" He stuttered."I should have introduced myself sooner, but now isn't bad, Sir.""Do you think I am a fool, you punk?" Mr Healy gnashed his teeth and clenched his fist.Harlan took a deep breath, "I know you were not going to believe me. It makes me amazed at how Elizabeth is different from everyone else.""Don't tell me you tricked my daughter into believing you are Harlan Smith!" Harlan shrugged, "you can recognize Mr Smith's voice, can't you?"Mr Healy stared hard at Harlan.He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Mr Smith's number. There was no answer.He tried the second time."Look, get out of my office. I am tired of seeing you. Seeing you disgust me," Mr Healy said."Just a second.""I said, get out!" Mr Healy yelled.
Adrian drove around the building standing alone in the Street many times before bringing the car to a halt some meters away from it. Although he had seen the man —if you would call that guy with a curly, grinning face a man— he wanted to be sure he was alone.He called the man to inform him of his arrival. Some moments later, the guy got to the car and tapped on the window. Adrian let down the window a bit just enough for the guy to hear his voice."Where is it?""You've got a nice car here. How much did you buy it?" The guy looked at the car with eyes rolling in greed.Adrian glared at the man. He gave an rueful smile."Do you get what I told you to get for me?" Adrian asked.He looked around, "you think it's safe for me to be out here while you are inside your car? Anyone could see us together.""Just hand over the list to me.""Adrian, we h
