SHE BETRAYED HIM.
It was 5:00 p.m. when Robert Edward, a slender and athletic individual, confidently rode his powerful power bike into the grounds of Campbell University.
One couldn't help but notice his striking appearance, resembling that of an athlete or a runway model. However, the truth was far from glamorous, as Robert struggled to even afford two square meals a day.
His days were filled with a constant hustle, juggling part-time jobs, and often neglecting his lectures. If he wasn't running errands for rich students, then he would be doing one of his part-time jobs. It was no surprise that he was considered the poorest student on campus.
Initially, Robert had been granted admission to the university on a scholarship. However, due to the vice chancellor's greed, he was abruptly denied the scholarship and forced to start paying tuition fees after just a few months.
Casting a glance at his watch, Robert realized that time had slipped away, and it was already past five o'clock p.m. With determination in his eyes, he switched on his bike and ventured deeper into the heart of the campus. He had one final delivery to complete before returning to park his bike by 6:00 p.m.
Coming to a halt in front of an elegant three-story building adorned with delicate flowers and exquisite interior and exterior designs, Robert skillfully parked his bike.
"Excuse me, could you please open the gate?" he politely inquired.
The security guard promptly approached and, without hesitation, opened the gate for him.
Perhaps the guard assumed he was there for a delivery, but that assumption was incorrect.
Robert's purpose was to deliver a special package to his girlfriend, Olivia.
The package contained a customized Burberry headscarf valued at approximately $750.
This purchase had cost him three months' worth of wages, as he decided to dip into his savings instead of relying on his salary.
With the wrapped package in hand, he entered the building and paused in room 005.
After three unsuccessful attempts at knocking, he reached into his pocket and retrieved his phone, dialing Olivia's number.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
There was no response.
His face contorted into a deep frown as he turned around and walked back to his bike.
Realizing that any delay would jeopardize his punctuality with the next customer, who could be quite irate even with a mere minute's delay, Robert hastened to return to his hostel on his bike, muttering to himself.
"I must leave this package in my room!" he reminded himself.
Aware of his dwindling time, he accelerated towards the vicinity of the male hostels.
Suddenly, a swarm of students emerged, running in the same direction, and Robert narrowly avoided colliding with one of them.
"What the hell?!" he exclaimed, swiftly applying the brakes just in time to avoid a collision.
"Where is everyone rushing to?" he couldn't help but inquire, observing the palpable excitement that seemed to grip the entire campus as they hurried along.
"It's Owen! Owen! He's selecting a girlfriend today," a student exclaimed, her voice tinged with astonishment. "He's already chosen someone and is about to propose!"
With that, she hurried away.
"Owen?" Robert pondered to himself before zooming off.
Owen was a well-known affluent figure at Campbell University. Despite his ugly appearance and the fact that he only had one eye, girls flocked to him solely due to his wealth. None of them seemed to care about his looks or the layers of makeup he applied to mask his unappealing visage.
He had a reputation for selecting the most beautiful women on campus, only to discard them every two days. Robert was well aware of this.
Often, he would deliver substances like Postinor, Crystal Methamphetamine, GHB, or Amyl Nitrite to enhance his sexual experiences with these women.
That's why Robert found it astonishing that Owen was now proposing to a girl. It wasn't the kind of thing he would expect from him.
As he approached the gathering of students, a noticeable chant filled the air: "Say yes! Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!" Robert couldn't help but roll his eyes at the spectacle. Although it held a captivating allure, he resisted the urge to stop and continued onward until a thought struck him.
What if his girlfriend was among the onlookers, clustered there to witness the event?
Parking his bike, he seamlessly blended into the crowd, his eyes darting around as quickly as possible, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
Finally, he found himself within the circle of the campus's grand proposal scene. However, what he didn't anticipate was that the person being proposed to was his girlfriend, Olivia!
"Olivia, say yes! Olivia, say yes!" The chants resumed once more.
His eyes widened at the sight before him, and his heart raced rapidly. He was too stunned to utter a word as he observed Owen, one knee on the ground, delivering his proposal.
"Olivia, you should accept my proposal. I'm wealthy, and only I, Owen, can help maintain such ageless beauty," he declared.
The entire crowd erupted in excitement, with murmurs filling the air.
"She should say yes already! They are a match made in heaven!" exclaimed one student.
"She should say yes and move to his luxurious mansion so she can arrive on campus in a flashy car!" added another.
"Oh my god! I can't wait for their future children. They will be incredibly beautiful!" gushed a voice.
"Nah, Owen is an ugly individual who doesn't deserve such beauty," retorted another.
Robert almost let out a smirk at the one genuine comment amidst the sea of gullible students who seemed to be licking Owen's ass.
As Owen took Olivia's hand to slip the ring on her finger, Robert's voice halted him midway as he bellowed out Olivia's name.
Anger flashed across Owen's face as he turned to confront the person who had disrupted his long-awaited golden moment.
Despite his involvement with various campus beauties, he had set his sights on Olivia for his selfish reasons—his family's desire to merge business contracts with hers.
Owen stood tall and imposing, exuding an air of power and dominance. His voice rose sharply, filled with anger, as he addressed Robert. "What the hell are you doing here? You should be attending to your deliveries! Why, in God's name, are you shouting her name in such a manner with your poverty-stricken tongue?"
His words pierced deep into Robert's skin, yet this time he wasn't there for Owen or to engage with the students who typically looked down upon him.
Without hesitation, he lunged towards Olivia, attempting to grasp her arm. However, she swiftly evaded his touch and retorted with disdain, "Don't touch my skin!”
ROBERT, IS SHE STILL YOURS? The whole place went dead silent like a graveyard. Most of the students were stunned by what Robert, the poor church rat, was trying to do. That was what he was fondly called by some students. “What the hell is he trying to do?” The first whisper hit Robert's ears, but he was still recovering from how Olivia just stopped him from touching her skin! “Did he just disrupt Owen's proposal?” "Now that he woke the sleeping lion, he must be dense to disrupt such a proposal!" Of course, every student was stunned; the majority of them didn't know Olivia was Robert's girlfriend. She had asked that they keep it low-profile. She told him she wanted a personal relationship. Owen, with his one eye, wandered to where Robert was still standing. He clenched his fists tightly as he felt his fingers digging into his palms in anger. “What do you think you're doing?” He sneered. Robert remained unfazed. He didn't even bother to give Owen a look; instead, he foc
MOST RIDICULOUS CALL EVER?! The whole school was still in a frenzy about what just happened. “Did you say that poverty-stricken boy hit Owen?” One of the students asked. Most of the students didn't know of it, but it didn't take a minute before it spread like wildfire. The whole campus, academic groups, and school websites featured videos of Owen and Robert. Meanwhile, Owen lay in the school infirmary for treatment; the punches were too heavy to just let slide. Pulling his phone out, he went over to the school website. The world seemed distorted and out of focus, and anger began to cloud his perception once he read the negative comments that weren't supporting him. “Oh my god! "Who knew Owen wasn't strong... haha haha…," one said. “I hate to admit it, but poor Robert is an Anthony Joshua!” “He knocked Owen down with a punch. The boy might be poor, but I think he won this fight!” Each one he slid down to read taunted him more, and for some reason, he couldn't take it any
HILARIOUS CALL BEGOT A GRAND MOMENT! That was hilarious! Well, it was also an emergency. After a few minutes, the emergency alarm began to ring so loudly that it awoke the whole campus. They rushed inside and headed straight to the acclaimed room "050.” When the security and professors saw them, they all rushed towards them. “What's the problem?” asked one of the professors… “We were called for an emergency in room "050." “ One of the men replied, still heading straight in there. “I'm sorry, we have no emergency in there. I think there is a misunderstanding!” The men didn't listen to her; they continued rushing towards where room ‘050’ was. From each tag at the door, they could easily decipher. Onlookers and other lecturers were surprised by what was happening; they never heard anyone ask for help or anything else that the fire was burning, but now the emergency was here. How is it even possible that room 050 needs an emergency?" One of the students mused. “Wait room ‘
RISE OF ROBERT EDWARD. When Robert opened his eyes, he couldn't understand what was happening. The hours have slipped by, and it wasn't just morning, but now evening. He had been unconscious for almost twenty-four hours. He was met with a well-furnished ward filled with medical equipment; it was the best one in the state. The whole place was lit up with LED lights, and he was lying on a bed shirtless. He glanced down at his body only to see different medical equipment plugged into it. Where am I? Shouldn't I have been dead by now in my dorm?” He had a puzzled expression as his mind raced, attempting to understand how he got into the hospital. His eyes wandered around as his thoughts raced. What could have happened? Did he die and be sent back to life? Or is it even a rebirth? His brows furrowed as he scratched his head, trying to make sense of the jumbled thoughts in his mind so he could crack the code of where he was. But the door suddenly creaked open, snapping him o
BILLIONAIRE LIFESTYLE. Robert sat in the corridor of the colossal building, marvelling at its opulent details. The tiles were so polished that he could see his reflection in them. He didn't need anyone to tell him that his mother was incredibly wealthy. However, a nagging question lingered in his mind—how long would her fortune last? The thought consumed him as he sat on the couch, deep in contemplation. Suddenly, a knock on the room's door disrupted his thoughts. Startled, he stood up to investigate. The door creaked open, revealing three individuals who entered the room. Robert couldn't tear his eyes away from them for a moment. Were they truly maids? Dressed in exquisite attire, the three of them proceeded to set his breakfast on the table before quietly departing. Robert approached the array of food, his curiosity piqued. With each plate he opened, he discovered an extravagant, five-star billionaire's meal. The sight caused him to blush as he pulled out a chair and took a s
Meanwhile, inside the cinema, Olivia and Owen were seated in the VIP section of chairs. The air was filled with festive chatter among the students, yet nobody dared to speak too loudly as Owen had requested silence. The scent of popcorn wafted through the room, intensifying the anticipation for the upcoming movie they were about to watch. "Honey, can we change the movie?" asked Olivia, wrinkling her face as she pleaded for everyone to support her choice. "Babe, it's the official selection today. It wouldn't be fair to change it, don't you think?" Owen tried to convince her with a smug smile, but she persisted. "I don't want it. I want 'Mea Culpa!'" she stated confidently. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the air, creating an excited buzz as everyone settled into their seats and ordered their popcorn, ensuring nothing would grab their attention once the movie officially began. After a few minutes of conversation with the cinema manager and leaving a generous tip, Owen retu
CHAPTER 8. UGLY?? There were onlookers, and students began pulling out their phones to capture the moment. However, in Campbell campus, there seemed to be a prevailing hypocrisy among them. They would eagerly record the most dramatic moments solely for the sake of gaining social media attention, even if it meant capturing someone's suffering or even their last breath. Amidst the commotion, Olivia couldn't help but giggle. She felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that Robert would be expelled from the cinema. Owen, on the other hand, stumbled back in shame. He didn't fully comprehend Robert's actions, but the forceful punch had left him disoriented. He blinked rapidly, trying to regain his focus. As Owen lifted his head, gasps reverberated through the crowd. Even Olivia, who was eagerly waiting for the manager to arrive, was taken aback by the collective surprise. It appeared that there was no manager coming to address the situation. Most students immediately aimed their cameras a
CHAPTER 9. PAY FOR COMMOTION CAUSED. Olivia couldn't help but smirk, a wide grin stretching across her lips, when she saw Robert go mute in response to Ivannah's words. Ivannah wasn't someone to mess with. Not only was she the owner of the school's cinemas, but she was also known for being ruthless and cold-hearted. She never backed down on her words. Seeing how sternly she looked at Robert, Olivia and Owen felt relieved. Finally, someone else was going to deal with him! They exchanged glances and both smiled wickedly. Suddenly, Robert burst into laughter. "Pay for everything?" he repeated incredulously. "That's impossible! Why should I pay for everything when I did nothing wrong? I was the one being bullied by this ugly duckling and his gold digger," he said, pointing his hands at both Olivia and Owen. "If you're struggling financially, you should politely ask for assistance!" He sneered as he spoke. Ivannah's eyes slightly widened at his words. Did he just suggest that she was
