 Jayden woke up the next morning, feeling energized.

Today, he must go to his company, sign some documents.

Then after his graduation, he would become the CEO of the company right away.

He took his shower, and opened the wardrobe to take out something to wear.

However, it dawned on him that he only had his delivery clothes in there.

He didn’t get time to get some new clothes for now.

“Well, not bad. At least I got used to wear it anyway.” He smirked.

He drove his delivery scooter to the company, and parked it in the parking lot.

The company's name was boldly written, "Fernando's Intl.".

He walked in, but was stopped by the receptionist. If there was one thing he hated, then it would be embarrassment.

"Where are you headed to, young man?" She asked, looking at him with an annoying face.

He was wondering why she looked at him that way, until he looked at his clothes.

"So, this is why." He muttered under his breath.

"I'm sorry, but I did not come here to deliver food. I—" he tried to explain, but it seemed like that short explanation would not change her mind about seeing him as a delivery guy.

"I do not believe you. If you are not here to deliver food, why are you in the delivery uniform? And how did you even come in here?" She sneered.

"Okay, fine!" He said, taking out his phone to make a call.

“Hey, don’t stay here calling, get out!”The receptionist was angry, she thought he was calling who asked for delivery.

The receptionist tried to take away the cell phone from his hand.

Jayden frowned and he tried to avoid, but by accident, the phone dropped on the ground and broke.

Jayden sighed, he had no time wasting here. Since the receptionist was so unreasonable, he ran away and rushed to the elevator.

After he took over the company, there was a better way to deal with her.

The receptionist was shocked, she yelled at the security guards, waving at them to come over to their direction. While she was busy talking to the guards, Jayden had already left, and was heading to the elevator.

"There he is. Get him!" She yelled.

Jayden had no ounce of energy to converse with them, so he quickened his steps, and was soon in the elevator.

"Hey, stop."

"Get out of there, now!"

He heard them yell from behind.

Just when there were close to the elevator, and was face to face with him, he pressed the button, and it closed.

He learned on the wall, and let out a long sigh.

"Is this how they treat people of lower class? Tch."

He was going to correct that impression. Starting with the receptionist. She was not fit to work in his company.

He would not blame them, anyways. He was going to set everything right, once he signs the document.

While he was in the elevator, thinking out loud about the things he was going to do, the receptionist had ordered the guards to stand by, and watch where he was headed.

She was angry. She was going to make sure he was arrested.

"How did you all let him in here? This is a big company, and you let a dirty delivery guy with no formal card, to get in? Even having the guts to take the elevator!" She yelled at the guards.

"We apologise. We will surely get him," one of the guards said. He seemed to be the Head.

They waited patiently for the elevator to stop, so they would know which floor he was.

The elevator suddenly stopped at the last floor of the building. Jayden came out, and walked straight to the office.

Meanwhile, the receptionist, and the guards had their jaws dropped. They could not believe their eyes.

"What is he doing there?" The receptionist whispered to herself.

They began to murmur. Everyone knew that the last floor belonged to the CEO, and no one, except the manager—only when called by the CEO, had the chance to go there.

It was the most restricted area in the company.

"Could it be…?"

She had come out just in time to see the receptionist slap the young man in front of her.She had wondered who it was, and what his offense was, that would make the receptionist slap him.She had hastened to get to the scenario, but halted to check her phone that had just beeped, indicating that she had a message. It was an email with an attachment.She had been informed about the CEO beforehand, but the email she received was a short description of the CEO, as the the heading was titled, 'CEO'.She had clicked it open, and it showed his picture.Her heart sank when she saw his picture.He was the same person the receptionist had slapped.

    He walked in, not minding the weird eyes that wanted to feed on him. He already expected to have another drama unfold. He would not blame them. A person dressed in a delivery uniform, or anything of that class had no business with a bank as this.It was the most famous bank, and only the upper class saved their money in it. The minimum deposit was 5,000 dollars. It was situated in the outskirts of the city. With the number of cars parked outside, and the way the people entered in and out of the bank, dressed in sumptuous clothes, one could easily tell that it was meant for big influencers, and the rich, as a whole.It was a bank that everyone knew was meant for the upper class. It was Bank d'Finance, owned by a group of French influencers, who had moved in to the country, and planned to become US citizens.Everyone, as always, wore their expensive dresses. Everyone, except Jayden.Not like he cared. He just wanted to get things done, and rest. He was already tired of the whole drama.

    The cashier was shocked. The manager was a highly respected person, and whosever he is bowing down to, must be someone of high caliber. The people who were present too, in the bank had astonished looks on their faces. He was just a delivery guy to them.Only the Creator knew where the cashier got the courage to question the manager. "Excuse me, sir. Why show so much respect to a delivery guy?" She received no answer from him, so she asked again.Rather than get a response, a slap landed on her cheek. The manager had slapped her. "Do you know who this man is?"She shook her head, telling him expressionally, that she did not know him.He showed her his Bank ID card. She took the card from him, and gasped in realization. The ID was specifically for Senior VIP clients, who had 50 million dollars in the account. She had first thought he stole it, until she saw his picture on it. As much as she did not want to believe that a delivery guy and the owner of the ID card were one, and the same

The girl in the car exclaimed.He could have just drove past, but he wanted to have fun.He came out of his car to meet Jayden, who was just getting up from the floor.Jayden turned to face him, and was about to say something, but he did not get the chance to, as the guy had already started yelling. Jayden just looked at him, confused. "Watch where you are going, will you? Now, look… you hit my car with that thing. Do you know how much this car worth? You, and your assets—if you have any, is not worth this expensive car."Jayden was very sure he did not run into his car, it was the man that drove carelessly, as though he owned the road. He was the one who drove on a high speed, and almost in

    The officer bowed his head, and apologized. "I'm sorry, sir."The thought of getting involved with The Jackson's was something he did not want to experience. He had heard of people's experience with The Jackson's, and he certainly did not want to have an experience. He turned to Jayden, and frowned."Young Man, you must pay for the damages you caused." He said."What damages? You have not confirmed if there is any damage, before asking me to pay. He was the one who hit, and knocked me down. Why should I pay for anything? By law, he is supposed to compensate me, for damaging my scooter.""You better obey, or I might arrest you.""You think I am scared of you? Are you sure you do not want to confirm the damages?" Jayden smirked."No, I won't. Are you going to pay back, or not?" The officer said. He was baffled by his boldness. Was he not afraid of him, or even the rich guy in front of him?"Are you this stubborn? I think I remember you. You were the guy from the party, who did not have

    The butler had called the company, and asked for some men, after he had received Jayden's call. The man was scared of Jayden. The butler knew Jayden was enraged. He needed to vent his anger. He knew almost everything about Jayden, because he lived with them, and watched him grow up. Jayden had a short temper, but he had learnt to control it, after the incident that almost left him traumatized. He had been angry at his schoolmate, for pouring water on his book, and refusing to apologize. As a quiet person, he was often bullied. Only a few people knew about his family. He did not understand why he was hidden from the world. While other rich kid went to school with their personal guards, the butler always took him to school. The boy had refused to apologize, and insulted him, after hearing that his mother had left him. Out of anger, he punched the boy, and he lost his tooth. Since then, he avoided anything that would make him angry. Seeing the cold eyes, and how he glared at the man,

    He rode his scooter to the mall. He sighed, wondering if there would be, yet, another drama. The mall was the biggest mall in Texas, and only the upper class had went there. Only a few members of the lower class were accepted there, to work as cleaners, receptionists, or security officers.It was an 8-storey building, where a wide varieties of products were sold, and services, provided. You could find almost everything you needed there—food items, electrical appliances, clothes, spa…People were going in and out of the mall, dressed in, of course, expensive clothes.He walked in, with the expectation of having another drama occur."After today, do not come back. You are fired!" The manager of the mall said, throwing a white envelope at her.Jayden wondered what she could have done. She had just gotten fired, and he was sure that she would create a scene.He took a deep breath, and walked towards her direction, "hello."He had expected her to frown, and say harsh things to him, as he

    "You know, I'm supposed to be the heir to all your properties. After all, I am the eldest."He walked around in circles, making weird sounds. His hair was looking unkempt, giving him the exact look of a mentally unstable person."Jayden is my legal son, and by right, he owns my properties. I already gave you what you asked for, whatever Jayden has belongs to him," Fernando asserted, his voice falling flat, his aura, intimidating."I worked with you in that company, so that I can take over and manage the company once you retire. This brat did nothing other than go on an unsuccessful adventure of finding true love. After his failed attempt, you handed over the company to him. Just like that!" Nathan yelled, jealous of Jayden.He had only worked in the company to gain his father's favor, only for the company to be given to Jayden, who initially didn't want the company."You," he said to Jayden, "you took everything away from me. Everything I worked hard to get; the company, his favor," h

    Rage burned down Jayden's heart, as he saw the ripped part of the dress, which revealed her thighs."You will do no such thing!" Jayden roared, instructing Alex to track the location.He looked at Fiona, this time, without anger. "I will save Carina. Don't worry, just stay here with your mother, and everything will be fine."He put on a pair of pants, and a shirt, folding the sleeves of the shirt. All that was on his mind now was to save Carina from his hands.There was only concern on his face, he could not imagine what she went through as a rape victim. If Charles was still alive, he would have surely made him pay for the crime he committed.Alex got the location and trailed behind Jayden, whose long legs strode towards the door.Nanny Perla and Mr. Thomas wished him luck. Sonia was there too, but she was not allowed to tag along."We will come back, okay?" Alex hugged her and followed Jayden. He turned on the engine and drove out at a high speed.

    There was a flash of surprise on his face. How could he be his brother? Someone who once worked for him? Someone who cheated the company?It was ridiculous, and if he were ever in any position to make a guess, he would never mention Nathan's name.How could a psycho be his brother? That was absurd! Jayden looked at his father, pain and hatred were visible in his eyes."That explains it, then. You should have thrown me out into the streets, and taken in Nathan, rather than treat me like I was the cause of your own problems! I can't even stand you, you don't deserve to be my father," Jayden thundered, his voice deepening in anger."Jayden, I—""You, Carina…all of you! There is nothing that differentiates you all. You are the same; liars! Here I thought you were really sorry for everything, never knew you were this selfish. The only true family I have is Uncle Lukas, Nanny Perla, and Mr. Thomas.

Just a while ago, he was the happiest groom, who could not wait to see his bride, and now, he was calling off the wedding.He didn't pay attention to the murmurings coming from the people. He stepped down, slowly walking towards Carina.Each step he took closer to her made her feel like she was meeting her doom. She glanced at the envelope in his hand, it looked like the same envelope she saw yesterday when she met Nathan."Jay, please, I can explain," she muttered, trying hard to calm him down, but the rage in his eyes didn't seem to become tender.Rather, it seemed like her plea made him more furious. Just a couple of steps away from her, he stopped. His eyes never left her, as though she was going to disappear if he even blinked an eye."You suddenly want to explain now, hm?" He started, "Explain what, exactly? That you are not a virgin? That you lied to me? Or, that you had an ugly past which you hid from me in the guise of being a good woman!" He hu

    Sonia had gotten a call from Alex last night, inquiring about their discussion. She hated to lie to Alex, and she knew that she sucked a lot at lying.Since it was over a phone call, she was able to lie to him, because she didn't have to look at his face.He didn't believe her, so he said he would meet her at CR Restaurant, so they could talk. It didn't make sense to him that what he heard that night kept leading him on to what Jayden told him.Sonia took out her phone and called Alex. She was panicking, seeing that Carina was a few miles away from her, talking to a stranger."Hello, where are you?" She said, immediately he answered the phone."I'm at the parking—""Don't park the car, drive out now. I'll meet you in front of the restaurant," she replied sharply, rushing out of the restaurant to wait for Alex.She kept her eyes on Carina, and she was about to enter the vehicle, following the stranger.Alex stopped right in front of Sonia, who jumped in immediately, without a care to

    Carina stared at Alex with widened eyes. This was what she was afraid of. Definitely, Alex would tell Jayden about it, and that meant everything was over.Alex walked closer to them, sitting down on the seat he sat on before he left."Oh! We..uh, we have something we wanted to do; more like content, so I was trying to tell her what to say," Sonia chipped in, covering up the whole thing.Alex knew when Sonia was lying and when she was not. He could tell it by looking into her eyes. There was just something about her statement that he could not believe. Even if he wanted to, it didn't just seem real.First, Carina was not a social media person, and creating content about a rape case was too sensitive. "Yes, yes. She is right, I was…I couldn't recall my part, so I was asking her to help me out," Carina supported, hoping that Alex would believe their lie.He didn't say anything. He shrugged his shoulders, taking Sonia's drink from her. "Hey, give me my drink!" Sonia yelled, punching hi
