Rise Of The Orphaned Student: Eddie Is An Aviatux! Chapter 15: Finding Out Who's Next?
San Roman took a step back, his face reddening with shame. His eyes darted around the room, but he couldn’t seem to muster the courage to move."What's wrong with me? I can't even move an inch from here. This is a total disgrace, Damien. You’ve taken this too far!" He gritted his teeth, unable to step forward or backward.Damien, however, noticed his hesitation. Without a moment's delay, he called out, “San Roman, please come to the stage.”San Roman froze for a second, then reluctantly began walking forward, each step slow and heavy.When he reached the stage, Damien raised his hand and motioned for the guests to applaud.The guests complied, though hesitantly at first. Their applause felt more like an obligation than genuine respect.With a smile, Damien's voice rang clear. “San Roman has been with me for years,” he began. “Though tonight isn’t what many of you expected, trust me when I say that he’ll play a significant role in what’s to come. His work is invaluable to this empire.”

Skarr rushed into the room, panting but he maintained his morale.Eddie raised his head up from his food and turned to look at him. "Hey Skarr, my man." He called out to Skarr who stood broadly at the entrance as if he was trying to block something from barging in. "Can't you see that I'm enjoying here; Kinemai rice and wine? Come join me, let's celebrate this new identity."Skarr bowed, swallowing hard as he glared at Eddie fearfully. "I'm sorry, young master. But this is not the time for celebration. Your Dad's on his way here!""Funny you, Skarr. Why do you have to get scared and report about that? Does my Dad not have the right to enter anywhere wants in this house? In this state? in this country...""He does but, he's coming with San Roman!" Skarr cut him short.“shit,”Like a thunder flash, Eddie pushed the tray of food aside and stormed to the bed, covering himself with the blanket as he faced the other side immediately and at the same time, started to shiver convulse.Skarr's
Rise Of The Orphaned Student: Eddie Is An Aviatux! Chapter 1: Shattered Pride In The Campus Garden
“Oh, look at you, Eddie. Scrubbing toilets again. How stupid.” Eddie scrubbed the lime-crusted basin, his hands raw and aching, when a voice he hated so much cut short his peaceful moment.Eddie could see the voice owner from the rear of his eyes– Tasha, his long-time enemy since he got a scholarship into the school.Even though Eddie has never for once liked Tasha because of her manipulative character, she is a close friend to his girlfriend, Eunice Lemar.Tasha succeeded in turning Eunice from the once sweet, innocent girl who would go to any lengths in order for Eddie to feel loved to the materialistic girl who wouldn't let any minute of his go without threatening to leave him for another guy if he couldn't give her $400 weekly.The firm that sponsored his scholarship to the University of Aveston was also sponsoring his essential needs up to his feeding.The only thing that made him resort to washing the campus restrooms was to meet up with his girlfriend’s excessive wants.Eddie
Rise Of The Orphaned Student: Eddie Is An Aviatux! Chapter 2: Smackdown at Aveston
Nathan is one of the richest students in the whole school. Almost everyone idolized and feared him. Girls in Aveston crave to flock around him because of his father's status as a millionaire. But what confused Eddie even more was the backdrop. Behind Nathan and Eunice was a large paper-made key. “Did Nathan buy a house for her?” Eddie wondered because he just paid the rent for Eunice's hostel five days ago. “Could it be that Nathan had bought a new house for her and all my hard work in sorting out her rent was a waste?” On both sides, two of Nathan's ‘Errand Boys' as Eddie would usually refer to them held the paper key that read: ‘Please be my girlfriend, Eunice. Will you?’ Eddie's heart leapt out of his chest. He felt his heart tightened when he saw Eunice allow Nathan to put the ring on her finger. His eyes glistened as he felt tears escaping down his cheeks. “Did Eunice, his girlfriend of about a year and four months just…” Until his tears and sobs were drowned by t

The officers wasted no time cuffing Eddie. Their grips were rough as they hauled him to his feet."Do you have any idea on what you've just done, kid?" the second officer hissed.Eddie glared at him, his body still trembling from the taser."You just assaulted Nathan San Roman, the millionaire's son," the first officer said, shaking his head. "You're in deep trouble."The students watched silently, some recording the scene on their phones.Eddie's heart sank further as he caught sight of Eunice standing beside Nathan, her head bowed. She didn't even look at him."Wait officer. I need to give this mannerless guy something to help him remember not to mess with my boyfriend again." Eunice said as she walked closer to Eddie and landed a hot slap on his cheeks.Eddie stared at Eunice, his face a mix of pain and betrayal. "You’ve betrayed me, Eunice. All for what? For someone with more money?" His voice wavered. "I thought you had changed."Eunice locked eyes with him, her smile icy and ful
Rise Of The Orphaned Student: Eddie Is An Aviatux! Chapter 4: A Broken Heart
Eddie blinked, unsure of how to respond. Why was this powerful man taking an interest in him?"I will be very glad if I can be employed, Almighty. At Least, I wouldn't have to wash toilets again." Eddie prayed in his mind.Damien reached into his inner coat pocket and pulled out a neat bundle of cash, sliding it discreetly across the table to Eddie."Here," Damien said with a small smile, his tone still warm. "This is $1,000. Use it as you wish. Now, enjoy your meal in peace."Eddie blinked in shock at the sight of the money. His hands trembled as he picked up the bundle, his mind racing."Thank you," he muttered, his voice hesitant and forced, the weight of gratitude and confusion making it hard for him to speak.Damien gave him a reassuring nod, his sharp eyes studying Eddie for a moment longer.Then, without another word, he rose to his feet, his imposing figure drawing the attention of the room as he moved toward the exit.As Damien passed by, Skarr leaned in close, his voice bare

"What's that?" Eddie glanced at him questioningly."Stop beating yourself up over her. She’s not worth it. Focus on what’s ahead, man. You’ve got too much potential to waste it on someone who didn’t appreciate you."Eddie let out a heavy sigh, feeling a small flicker of hope stir within him."Thanks, Phil," he said, his voice steadier this time. "Thanks for always being there for me, I hope I will have the power to also be there for you in the nearest future.""That’s what I’m here for, Now, let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow’s another lecture day," Phil replied with a grin as he beat Eddie's chest playfully, "and remember, Mrs Patricia, the vice chancellor herself promised your departments an ‘early in the morning’ session. You don’t want to be late."As Phil settled into his bed, Eddie lay awake for a while longer, Phil’s words echoing in his mind before sleep finally shut his eyes.The next morning, Eddie woke to find Phil not around, but he paid it little mind. Their schedules were d
Rise Of The Orphaned Student: Eddie Is An Aviatux! Chapter 6: Suspension?
"What!" Eddie’s eyes widened in shock. "That’s not possible! I never….""Enough!" Dr. Charles interrupted, slamming a hand on the table. "This institution has no room for such behavior. We are deliberating your suspension pending a full investigation.""I'm sure Nathan San Roman made Eunice's family do this, I'm sure." Eddie bit his upper lip as he thought to himself, the scenes from the previous night creeping back into his head."But, sir. I didn't…." Before Eddie could protest further, the phone on Dr. Charles's Desk buzzed.He frowned, annoyed at the interruption. "Who is it?""It’s a private call, sir," his secretary whispered. "The caller is insisting."Dr. Charles sighed and picked up the receiver. "This is not the time…"His expression shifted immediately, his face paling as he listened."Who… who is this?" he stammered, his tone suddenly meek.The voice on the other end was calm but chilling."Good morning, Mister Chancellor. I understand you’re about to make a significant de

Chapter 14: Retirement Dinner
The Aviatux Luxury Manor guests' dining hall was a sight of pure elegance. A grand chandelier bathed the room in golden light, reflecting off the polished marble floor.Towering black-and-gold columns lined the walls, while deep crimson drapes framed massive windows overlooking the glowing gardens.The air carried the soft hum of Aveston's orchestral music, blending with murmured conversations.A semi-circular dining table stretched across the hall, draped in fine silk and set with gold-rimmed plates and handcrafted glassware that had the diagram of two intertwined bracelets, the crest of the Aviatux family.The scent of gourmet dishes filled the air as business moguls, officials, and dignitaries sat in quiet discussions.Among them were Damien Aviatux’s most trusted staff and guards, their eyes sharp and watchful.At the center of the open space stood a sleek podium, waiting for the Master of Ceremony to begin the night’s events."Esteemed business ladies and businessmen of Aveston,"

"Concerning the new phone you gave me, is there anything else you're not telling me?" Eddie shot a questioning glance at Skarr as he ended the call."Yes, Master Eddie." Skarr bowed slightly. "I was about to inform you that, in addition to upgrading your keypad phone to the Falcon W25—the most expensive smartphone in the world—we also switched you to a private number that cannot be accessed by anyone except you, not even the service provider.""Wow, that's impressive," Eddie said, admiring the phone in his hand. His eyes sparkled at the karat gold covering it from top to bottom."I don't think any SIM service provider would have the knowledge or power to handle a level of privacy that allows them to keep their customer's number a secret, even if they tried," Eddie remarked, shaking his head in disbelief at the kind of company in Aveston that could provide such a service."Thanks to the capable computer scientists we have in the company, they worked hard to create this new B-29 encrypt
Chapter 12: Where are you, Eddie?
“Yes, he did come to class late yesterday and Mrs. Pat had to mock him using his breakup with Eunice as an excuse which I and some other classmates objected to before the school guards came for him....""The school guards?" Phil cut in, irritated by the ordeal. "Don't tell me they also punished him for breaking up with Eunice. I mean...it was not even a breakup for Lord's sake. Eunice hurt my friend strongly by cheating on him! Are they blind or didn't they hear the news?"Sebastian placed a comforting hand and then squeezed it lightly. "I can't say exactly why he was taken away from the class but I heard a girl mention that he was suspended…”“Suspended? Why would they suspend him? So this institution no longer cares for their student's welfare!?” Phil vexed. “Let's agree he broke up with Eunice, is that an offence? I mean, I didn't see that in the school constitution, or did I skip it?”“See, you have to calm yourself down, Phil.” Sebastian urged, feeling concerned about Phil's work
Chapter 11- Eddie Regains Consciousness
"Rmmphh..."Eddie groaned as he began to regain consciousness. His body felt heavier than usual, weighed down by bandages, plasters, and other medical supplies used to tend to the wounds he'd sustained from the brutal beating.Unaware of his surroundings, he tried to look around the room, but his vision was still blurry, leaving him frustrated.His eyes rolled sluggishly from one corner of the room to the other until they landed on two figures standing beside the lavish, overly expensive bed he was lying on."Please... don't kill me. I beg you..." he murmured weakly, his voice barely audible.He tried to force the words out, but before he could say more, a sudden, brief seizure overtook him, cutting him off. As he trembled, flashes of the previous night's encounter played in his mind like a haunting reel.When the seizure passed, Eddie remained disoriented. He had no idea what time it was or where he was.The only thought occupying his mind was the misconception that the two figures s
Chapter 10: Table Turned Twice
Tasha narrowed her eyes at Eddie, her lips curling in disdain. "So you admit it, huh? You’re just as worthless as you’ve always been. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re thrown out of here in the most humiliating way possible."Eddie crossed his arms and leaned against the counter, his calm pose a stark contrast to Tasha’s escalating fury. "Oh, really? Let’s make a bet then.""A bet?" Tasha’s laughter filled the room, dripping with mockery. "What could you possibly offer in a bet, Eddie?""It’s simple," Eddie smirked, his confidence catching her off guard. "If I end up being kicked out, I’ll admit defeat. But if I don’t, you’ll leave this lounge and never come back."The crowd erupted in laughter amidst murmurs, intrigued by Eddie’s boldness."Deal!" Tasha snapped, her arrogance overshadowing any possible doubt. "You’re as good as gone!""Good luck… I.. I mean success," Eddie said, his tone light as Dorothy returned with a glass of wine.She handed it to him with a slight bow, her
Chapter 9: A Test Of Patience And Power
Eddie stepped out of the room and was surprised to see the four men still standing outside the door, who all turned to face him.To his amazement, each of them bowed respectfully to him as if he was royalty.He felt a little bit awkward and didn't know the best way to respond but he just managed a nod of acknowledgement.The men, including Skarr all remained motionless and silent until he had walked into the elevator.Eddie walked out of the elevator and spotted a door with the word "Exclusive Lounge" boldly written at the entrance top.A man, armed with a rifle, was at the door, his gaze fixed on nothing.Considering that the armed guard might embarrass him, Eddie thought about returning to his father's office.As he turned around to leave, the guard called out, bowing."You may proceed to come in, young master. You have the right to every corner of this building."Eddie swallowed hard as he turned around, trying to comprehend if this was his new reality. He was no longer the poor or
Chapter 8: Reunion
Eddie froze, his mind struggling to process what he'd just heard.The realization of Damien's words seemed to echo in the silence that followed."My… my father?" Eddie managed to whisper, his voice trembling.He instinctively pulled back slightly, searching Damien’s face for any sign of deceit. "No… that can’t be true. I’ve never… I don’t even know who my parents are."Damien adjusted his cufflinks, his expression somber but still focused. "I’ve spent 22 years searching for you, Eddie. I thought I lost you when our car fell off that bridge… on Uphalene Bridge. The night your mother and I had a tragic accident which, unfortunately... took her life."Eddie’s breath hitched, his heart pounding in his chest. "No… no, this has to be some kind of mistake. I’m just… I’m just an orphan from the orphanage. How can I be…?"Damien cut him off gently, his voice firm. "Eddie, look at the bracelet on your wrist. It’s no ordinary piece of jewelry. It’s a family tradition, one that only the Aviatux b
