“Are you sure about that?” Mia asked, feeling a bit scared for Chris.

“It's okay.” He shrugged.

Ria took this as the cue to call her brother and she did. The phone rang and on the second ring, the call connected. It was on speaker phone but then Ria didn't let her brother know it was.

“Hi, Big brother…” Ria smiled as she greeted her brother.

“Yes, Ria. Are you okay? Do you need some money?” Alexander asked, his tone caring.

The other people looked at Ria with envious gazes, especially Shantel. Ria had parents and a brother who was ready to spend on her, yet their families were rocky even though they had wealth.

“No, bro. But if you want to send me some. You can.” Ria chuckled. Mia couldn't help but roll her eyes and she just wanted to shout at Ria to go straight to the point.

“Alright. Is there anything else?” Alexander asked.

“Yes, big bro. There is someone named Chris here…” Ria watched Chris for any change of expression but there was nothing. So, she continued, “He claims h

    “Where did you get those clothes from?” Mia asked, tapping her feet on the floor as Chris got out of the restroom. “Do you think I stole it too?” Chris chuckled. “Huh?” Mia didn't know what to say. “Uhm… I...” She then sighed. “What do you want me to think? I know you don’t steal but what is more baffling is how you got in touch with Alexander McQueen. How did you do that?” She asked. “I just did.” Chris shrugged. “It's not a big deal.” He cleaned off the last residue of wine on his clothes. With his clothes soiled, he just wanted to go back home but he couldn't leave yet.He had not even presented his gift to Mia yet. It was still in his car with his driver. “Then how did you get the money?” Mia didn't let go of the issue. “I am not trying to insult but then you and I know you don’t have that much money to buy luxury clothes.”“I am just concerned for you, Chris. I hope you don’t go down the wrong way in a bid to impress me or anyone else.” Her eyes were questioning him. “You d

    The table went silent and all eyes were on Chris. They saw nothing with him and they immediately felt like he was just leeching off Mia since he didn't bring anything. This time, Mike chipped in, “But then, do you expect him to get something after he must have used all his life savings to bail himself out today?” At his words, there was a round of mocking laughter at the table. “Oh, Chris. How was prison?” A guy at the table asked. “Should we consider you an ex-convict now?” “Ex-convict Chris.” Somebody called out to him and they all burst out laughing again. “This is not fair!” Mia cut them off, her hand fisting on her thighs. She then glared at Mike and Melissa. “What makes you think Chris didn't get anything for me? Why are you attacking him? Is it because of what happened today?” Mia was sure he did though because he told her. “Of course, he didn’t.” Melissa chuckled. “Did you see anything on him?” “And if you want to talk about what happened today, not here, please.

    The table went silent, all eyes moved from Chris to Mike but they still didn't make sense of why the waiter was asking for Chris. “Chris Westminster?” One of the girls gasped. She glared and the waiter, and then pointed at Mike, “Does he look like a pauper to you?” “I.. I.. Don’t know.” The waiter shook her head. “But I was asked to deliver this to Chris Westminster. If he is not Chris, then I can’t give it to him.” “What? Do you mean Chris ordered this?” Melissa shot up to her feet, in disbelief. “Yes, ma’am. The person who delivered this showed me a picture of Chris and you sir…” She pointed to Mike. “…you do not look like him.”“Wow... Unbelievable…” The girls gasped in shock and started to pull away from Mike. Chris who was still on his feet called out to the waiter, “Bring it here. I am Chris.” “Yes. It's you.” The waiter gasped, with a nod. An uncomfortable silence was heavy in the air. Everyone looked at Mike whose face had gone ashen. The waiter then pulled the gift b

    Chris was polite and Ria couldn't do anything to stop him. He actually had no reason to reject Ria but then it was a bit uncomfortable for him to just accept her demands. He met her for the first time they day, and while Ria didn't seem to be poor and after his money, he knew he had to be careful. Ria watched Chris walk up to Mia and kiss her goodbye. She was seething in anger, not knowing why he turned her down that way. What was he in a hurry to do anyway? As she watched Chris walk out with Mia, she didn't want to be left out. But what she did, was to take out her phone and she called her brother, Alexander. He picked up on the first ring. She said, quickly, “Big brother, is there a way you can invite Chris to the house?”“Why?” Alexander was confused. “You will know very soon.” She replied and then coaxed him into acceptance. He did and she ended the call. By that time, Chris had already been out of the event hall with Mia seeing him off. “You are going to the parking lot? Di

    Later that morning.“Young Master!!” There was a banging sound on Chris’ door as he rolled on the bed. Slowly, he opened his eyes trying to make sense of why someone was trying to wake him up so early.He was so tired from last night’s party since he got back home way past midnight. In his sleepwear, he stood up from the bed groggily and went to open the door only to see Bulter Steve. “Uncle, what is it? It's not time for school yet, is it?” Chris groaned, in displeasure. He looked back at the clock by his bedside to see that it was just a little past 6 am. “I am sorry, Young Master but this is urgent.” Steve looked very serious. “What?” Chris asked, spotting a stash of papers in Steve’s hand. “A court summon was delivered to the old house. It's concerning a car accident that occurred at midnight. Did you happen to cause any? They are suing you for deliberating causing the accident which caused them injuries.” Steve looked very worried. “Car accident?” Chris was surprised. He he

    The drive to school was short and no one knew Chris had even arrived in school since he drove in his car. As he drove past the school gate, there were a bunch of students standing outside waiting for him, clamoring to see the school’s biggest offender because he was one now. Among those students, Mia was there too, probably waiting for him to pass by. However, he didn't wait to talk to her, he drove straight to his designated part of the school but made sure to let Mia know that he had arrived. He waited in his car until she got to him and knocked on the car window. Chris slowly wound down the window and smiled at her. “You own this car too?” Mia gasped. “Yes, I do…” Chris nodded. “And many more.” He winked at her. In the next second, he got out of the car with his backpack, and a few minutes later, they walked toward the class together. Mia didn't question him further because she knew Chris would give her the same answer he gave yesterday. “What are you going to do with Mike a

    Melissa’s appearance was sharp and abrupt, and as Chris’ face swung to the side, the whole class gasped in shock. The pain that shot through his face was massive but he was calm, as he wiped the blood from his lips with a swipe of his tongue. He had to control himself not to hit Melissa but someone else jumped in, in his defence. Mia rushed toward him, asking if he was okay. However, Melissa rushed forward and pushed Mia. “Why are you asking if he is okay? Don’t you see what he did to Mike?” Melissa screamed. “What are you saying?” Mia spat back. “Mike was the one who came at Chris. You are acting up like a perfect girlfriend when the reason why you are with Mike in the first place is because of his fucking money.”“Woahhh…” The others let out booing noises and they started to point fingers at Melissa, calling her a good digger.“And so what? Mike has the money this bastard here doesn't have.” Melissa screamed, her face turning red. “Oh, is that why he bought the cheap jewelry he

    As Melissa walked out of the class, the students turned their attention to Reid, Ren, and Mike. They looked so embarrassed and Chris went to stand before them.“Make sure you cancel the court summons… and wait for mine.” Chris smiled, his eyes twinkling with venom. Even though he had revealed the truth, he wouldn't let them go just like that. He would sue them for defamation, assault, and also for attempted murder. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Mia, took her hand, and led her out of the class. They walked for a few more minutes before they came to a secluded space and they sat down comfortably. “Thank you, Mia,” Chris whispered, looking at her with eyes filled with gratitude. “You always stand up for me, even when you don’t need to. I'll make sure to repay your kindness.” He promised. However, Mia chuckled, “Nah… you don’t need to worry. You are my friend and I should support you always.” She smiled, hugging him from the sides. They continued to make small talk w

    Leaving The Country

    Ria’s words served as warning bells to Chris’ head and he felt like his world was crumbling. If Reid had gone to testify and Jose was dead, Chris knew he would definitely be implicated. His eyes dimmed, as he wondered if he was the one who had pushed Jose off the building. But then he was quite sure that he didn't push Jose that hard. However, the thought of him being responsible for Jose’s death couldn't stop ringing in his mind. What if Reid had gone to the police to implicate him? Chris sat on the bed, his hands holding onto his head as he buried them in between his legs. On the other hand, Ria stood up and started to approach the door. “Where are you going?” Chris asked with a frown. “Your father is here. My brother informed him of what was going on…” Ria’s words were like another blow to Chris. He recalled how the butler had asked him not to cause any trouble or scandal. His father was on a trip and it seemed it was crucial to the Westminster family. And so, he watched Ria

    Thrown Into A Deep Mess

    Ten hours later…Chris opened his eyes, slowly at first but then what came into his view was a white ceiling, and then a wide unfamiliar bedroom. Beneath was a soft wide bed but then he was sure he wasn't in the Westminster mansion. As he turned his head to look all around, he couldn't place where he was and the memories from the school’s rooftop started to resurface in his mind. The last thing he remembered was pushing Jose off Mia and then he was hit in the head. As soon as he recalled all that, his heartbeat spiked up and he jolted up from the bed. “Mia…” He called out, breathing heavily as his eyes started to dim again due to the force he used in getting up. He felt his head to see there were bandages around his head and a searing pain shot from the back of his head. At the same time, the door was pushed open with so much force and Ria came rushing in, with a frightened look on her face. “You are awake. Are you okay?” Ria asked, rushing to his bedside. Chris was very confused

    I Am The Boss Here

    Chris took a deep breath, he looked all around his bedroom, knowing it was late at night and butler Steve would not be in support of him stepping out. However, Mia was in danger and he couldn't let it be. “Are you still there?” Reid’s voice rang out again. “Or are you scared?” He chuckled. “Do you want to see your dear friend?…do you want to see her beautiful battered face?” This time, it was Ren talking, his mocking voice sounded like stale music to Chris’ ears. At the same time, his phone rang and he saw that he received a message from Reid. It was a picture of Mia lying almost naked on the rooftop, with her face bloodied. Her eyes looked into the camera, pleading. Chris held onto his phone, almost crushing it with his grip, and with his eyes red, he looked like he was going crazy. And yes, he was. He was hurt for his friend.“Where the fuck are you guys?” Chris spat into his phone, his body churning with energy and all he wanted to do was beat up those boys. “Come to the schoo

    Butler Steve’s Caution

    Chris went quiet seeing the butler’s resolution, and he was made to step aside as the butler turned to the cops to settle the matter. Soon, they got back into the car and Chris was a little bit angry. “Why are you trying to stop me from helping?” Chris stared at Steve, with a very serious expression. On the other hand, Steve who was behind the steering wheel, ready to start the car let out a tired sigh and then he began, “I have a duty to protect you, especially now that the master has gone on a trip. The police asked you to sign some documents and yet, you didn't stop to think what kind of documents they were.” Chris went silent upon hearing that, there was no defensive mechanism he could come up with at that time. He was indeed wrong. “The Westminster family cannot be involved in any form of scandal especially not with such a bloody case and girl. She is your ex-girlfriend, is she not?” Steve sneered, looking out of the window to the police officers who were still scrambling aro

    No Obligation To Her

    Chris and the butler silently looked at each other, with Chris staring at Steve with daggers in his eyes. “What do you mean my dad left for a trip and I have to wait until he gets back?” “I mean what it means literally.” Steve shrugged, acting nonchalant. “What about our promise? You and Father promised to tell me what’s up with Mia and now he has absconded. What sick joke is this?” He thundered. At the same time, a few servants had come out to witness the altercation and Steve quickly told Chris to get into the mansion. At first, Chris didn't want to follow his lead but then he wasn't naive to how servants can be so interested in their boss’ business.He followed Steve back into the mansion and they approached Jones’ study. Seeing this, Chris went calm thinking the butler had been playing pranks on him. His father was home after all. A few seconds later, they got into the study but instead of seeing his father behind the large desk, he saw only his father’s suit jacket. “What’

    Dread And Confusion

    “Why?” Chris asked, frowning. “I have a guest.” He pointed back at his bedroom. If his father wanted to speak to him about something serious, then it had to wait until Mia was gone. “I'm afraid, this is very important and it is about your guest.” The butler replied, putting his hand behind him to show how serious he was. “About Mia?” Chris asked just to be sure and seeing how serious the whole situation was, he followed butler Steve into his father’s study room. A few minutes later, Chris stood before the desk, keeping eye contact with his father who was abnormally quiet. “You sent for me, Dad. Why aren't you speaking?” Chris frowned. “Why do you want to talk about Mia?” “Hmmm…” Jones let out a groan at first, he then closed his eyes and massaged his temples. He looked so stressed and in his mind, he knew he had made a fatal mistake. “Take Mia out of this place.” He instructed. Chris froze for a moment, not knowing what to think. That instruction came out of nowhere with no bas

    Mia’s Extreme Reaction

    Mia’s voice was shaky and her chest rose and fell so fast, that she couldn't breathe. “What are you saying, Mia? What shady deal?” Chris questioned with a frown. He didn't like how she was so fearful. He was there to tell her everything and yet, she suddenly started to accuse him. “Tell me what is going on right this instant! Who owns this mansion? What are we here for?” She bombarded him with questions, while she held her chest, trying to breathe. “The mansion belongs to my family,” Chris replied. “Oh, really?” Mia sneered, not believing him in the slightest. “You know what?! I think I am going to call...” She frantically reached for her phone. On the other hand, Chris could already guess who she wanted to call. It could either be her parents or the cops. “Mia, you need to calm down…” He tried to reach out to her but she started to punch her fingers on her phone. In the next second, he took the phone, throwing it into the back seat. “What the fuck did you just do? Are you tryi

    What Did I Ever Do To You?

    Chris and Mia had walked far away and they didn't even go back to class, because the day had practically been ruined for them. As they walked, a lot of students pointed at him and some even came to him to apologize about bashing him on the school forum. By the time they both reached Chris’ car, they were exhausted. “Get in.” He opened his car door and Mia sent a questionable look at him before she got in. He got in the driver’s seat as well. However, he didn't drive away, he had to take a few moments to breathe. “You have a really nice car.” Mia looked all around with a smile. She didn't have a good car like his and even though she was a rich heir, her family had been going through some internal crisis. “Thanks…” He nodded at her and the car turned awkwardly silent while she suddenly looked down at her hands, with an itchy feeling to bombard him with questions. On the other hand, Chris had observed her nervous reaction and he knew she really wanted to say something. “You can say

    Coming With A Prey

    Mike and Melissa stood back, while she watched Chris leave, Mike watched her. His face was brimming with anger and even long after Chris had left, she still couldn't bring herself to look at Mike. The secluded area became eerily silent as Melissa could neither speak nor move."Aren't you going to break up with me?" Mike finally broke the silence. He was surprisingly calm, even with how he was angry and this made Melissa courageous enough to look at him."What do you think, Mike?" She asked back, finally looking at him. "You heard everything. I don't think you should be in denial.""Are you admitting that you indeed were Chris' girlfriend? Back at the court, where I proposed to you, you denied him." He chuckled, mockingly and then continued. "Now, you are denying me? Before that thing?""I thought Chris was coveting what was mine, but then, it's just that you were something he used to have. You are like his leftover and I took you in...""Don't fucking call me that!" Melissa yelled, he
