Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 12: And the Hunter becomes the Hunted
Hudson's eyes dilated in terror as Anna began to count."Wh… what the hell are you doing?" Hudson asked her but Anna ignored the question.Jason stood behind Anna with a grin pulling at his lips."Seven…six..five.." Anna continued.The bodyguards behind them started forward, when Anna hit the fifth count, going straight for Hudson. They were ready to tear him to pieces."Call them off. Call off your goons, you Idiot." Mia screamed at Anna."Three…two…" Anna continued."Okay!" Hudson screamed.Anna tilted her head at him."Okay what?" She asked him."I will do it." Hudson replied."Do what?" Anna asked again."I'll…I'll do it. I'll strip.' He said with tears brimming in his eyes."And?" Anna queried with a satisfied smirk."I'll strip and run." He whispered."What? Hudson you can't do that. You can't be serious." Mia shouted at him."Shut up!" He hissed at her."Alright then. Get on with it." Anna ordered him.The crowd inched closer as many of them took out their cellphones and began
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 13: Walk of Shame
Jason glanced back and forth between Anna and the director.The director had agreed to expel Hudson after hearing whatever it was that Anna told him.Jason went to ask Anna what it was but she anticipated it and shook her head, silencing him.Hudson finished his laps and red faced with shame, returned for his clothes. He walked towards them, all the while glaring at them.His face was red with embarrassment, and his naked skin glistened with sweat. His almighty shoulders were hunched over in shame and humiliation even though pride kept his expression tight with hate. He was covered in mud which was normal considering he had fallen two or three times during his run. His boxers were drenched with his sweat, and Anna noticed that almost immediately."Hudson, did you pee yourself during the run?" She asked him, amusement filling her features as her lips tugged into a smile.The students around them did not hesitate to continue recording, some were even streaming live, and giving a detai
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 14: Frying pan to Fire
Jason saw red. This was not the first time that John had extorted money from his grandparents. One time, when Jason had started college, he stole his tuition fees and made away with it.Jason had to work with his grandmother at a company as a janitor, eating insults for food daily. There was a time he got slapped just because the detergent he used did not have the right fragrance. If his wicked uncle stole from them and used it to do worthwhile things, it would be a different story. His uncle came home pleading for forgiveness a month later and of course his soft grandparents forgave their child.This time he would make sure that it would be the last time that John ever came back here for anything.Jason took several breaths to calm himself."Don't worry about the bruise, Jason. I told you, I'll be fine before you know it." His grandfather said.Jason stared at his grandparents knowing fully well that if he did not do something about the situation, that John would most likely come

The man's brows raised at that.He looked at Jason, not bothering to hide the fact that he was sizing him up. His eyes wandered from the cheap jacket Jason was wearing to the cheaper sneakers he was also wearing.He scoffed at Jason before asking him."And if I tell you how much?" "I'll pay you in full." Jason replied, barely holding back."You? You can't even buy yourself decent shoes and you want to pay off a debt." The man replied with a scoff."I can pay you. I assure you." Jason said, ignoring the insult."Please, don't pay him any attention. Does he look like someone that has a job? He doesn't have the means to pay you. Ignore him." His grandfather told the man pulling his wife close to his side.He dabbed away the blood dripping down her face with a handkerchief he took out of his pocket."Jason get back inside and let me take care of this. You are only a child. You don't know what you are talking about." He scolded Jason and tried to pull him away and push him inside but Jaso
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 16: Street Urchin!
Jason's grandfather shook his head at John with great disapproval and dismay."How dare you say such a thing? Jason has been the only one to care for us ever since you ran away with all our savings. There was a time when I prayed and hoped that, one day, you would change. But it seems that I was a fool to wish for such." Jason's grandfather spat, tears filling his eyes as he shook with disappointment.Jason looked at his grandparents and watched as John broke their hearts, whatever hopes they had that he would change was gone. He only wished they would remember this forever and stop letting him back into their lives. John's face scrunched up with hatred as he glared at Jason. "This is all your doing. If you had not come into our lives, this would not have happened." He said as he swayed on his feet, and spat at Jason. Jason wiped away the saliva, disregarding John.The gang leader who seemed to have had enough of their family drama finally mobilized them."Men! We will go into that
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 17: Young Master
Recognition flashed in the eyes of the gang leader when he took notice of the huge man. The man stopped before them with his eyes raking over the thugs with hard eyes. "You look smashing today, Sir." The gang leader said but the huge man ignored him.When the gang leader saw that the man was blatantly ignoring him he then asked,"Sir, what brings you to this side of town? I didn't know that you did business around this area." He asked folding his hands behind him like a child waiting for his mother to discipline him."Yeah, you are usually at the casino by this time of the day." Another gangsters piped up."You shouldn't have stressed yourself coming here. You should have told us and we would have gladly taken care of it." The gang leader added.Before the gang leader could make up an excuse for harassing Jason the man slapped him so hard while wearing heavy brass rings on his fingers, that his head snapped to the side.The gangster's backed away, knowing that the man was not there
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 18: Call Back to the Manor
"Why?" That was the first word that left Jason's mouth."I'm afraid I can't say, young master." The man replied.Jason grew a bit tense. Did something happen? "When… when is he expecting me?" Jason finally asked."Right now. It was why he sent us over. To escort you to the mansion." "Ok.. it's already late. Give me a few minutes and let me pack some change of clothes." Jason said, not waiting for the man to respond and quickly hurried back to the house.Jason pushed the door open and found only his grandfather in the living room where he had left them earlier."Your grandmother has gone to bed." His grandfather answered the question that was on the tip of his tongue.He nodded and was about to go to his room when his grandfather called him back."Jason…." His grandfather began, uncomfortably.Jason had an idea of what he wanted to tell him. Probably about him not being their biological grandson."About what your uncle John said out their….we can explain. You see your grandmother and
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 19: Becoming the Heir
What did he mean that I wasn't going anywhere soon? Jason thought in his head.His eyes widened at the possibilities but he pushed them aside. If they wanted to do something to him they would have done it a long time ago.Jason finally looked at the room. The room itself was more expensive looking than his entire house. The light in the room did not flicker every three seconds like the one in his room back home.He walked to the bed and let his backpack fall on it.The sheets on the bed were pristine and he knew that the blankets that would be brought to him would be way more softer and less scratchy than the one he used at home.There were two other doors in the room apart from the one that he'd just come in from.He knew that one of them would probably lead to a bathroom but where did the other one go?He walked cautiously to the door at the other side of the room and pushed it open and indeed it was the bathroom.There were marbles on the floor and on the counter, infact everywher

“That's brutal. I thought trust funds were to help start, I don't know, companies or at least a small business. What will he do when he graduates?” Jason replied.“Eh. He'll survive. Besides, he should have thought of all that before beating you up.” Barbie replied.Jason nodded, what'd he know about trust funds anyway? Barbie was also right he should have given it thought if he knew what would happen to him if he got suspended.They sat in the third row just as two other girls approached them.“Hey Stacey!” Barbie smiled and waved at one of them.“Hey…” The girl started but then frowned when she saw Jason seated beside Barbie.“Ugh, could this place get any more pungent?” The second girl said wrinkling her nose and sent Jason a glare.“I know right? It smells like poverty “ Stacey replied and they both left giggling.Barbie looked away from Jason.Jason drummed his fingers on the desk as they both sat in awkward silence.“I can leave if you want me to, seeing as you're all bothered a

Steven got out of the car next after Mathew and Jason couldn't help as his mouth hung open.“Jason, are you even listening to me?” Barbie asked with a pout which drew Jason's attention back to her. “Yeah, I'm sorry but can I ask you something?”“Yeah, of course you can.” “Has that always been Mathew's car? Like is this the one he's always been driving?” Jason questioned.“Well that's a random question.” Barbie commented.“Barbie….”“Yeah, that's his car. He got it early this year when the semester started.” Barbie replied.“Are you sure?” Jason asked her.“Yeah, is something wrong?” Barbie asked.“That car tried to hit me on Monday.” Jason told her.Barbie's eyes widened like saucers.“Are you sure?” She asked.“Yeah, it was after I walked you to your car, pretty much everyone was gone. It tried to knock me down. It almost did.” “Oh my God, Mathew!” Barbie shouted marching at him.“Barbie, don't!” Jason hissed, pulling her back.“Why not? He could have killed you!” She shouted, her

The sudden roaring in his ears made him think he hadn't heard Robert correctly. He obviously misheard, that was the only explanation for what he'd heard.“Jason?” Anna called out.“Um yeah, sorry. I'm just… I thought you said you'd found a wife for me but clearly there is something wrong with my hearing.” Jason said, laughing.“Jason, this isn't a joke.” Robert said seriously, his white face straightened with a little censure at Jason.Jason nodded his head “What do you mean you've found a wife for me. I didn't tell you I was searching for one.” He snapped.“I've arranged a marriage between you and the daughter of a friend of mine.” Robert went on ignoring Jason.“But why would you do that?” Jason all but screamed.“Jason! Control yourself.” Anna chided him.“I'm twenty three years old. I don't want to get married.”“You won't get married now. You'll marry when you're ready to take over.” Robert said, steepling his fingers together in front of him. Jason dropped his cutlery with a

“I believe I asked a question.” Robert said, walking forward.“M… M… Mr. Charleston, I am so terribly sorry for all this. A staff of ours has made a grave mistake, I was only reprimanding him. I didn't know that the noise disturbed you.” The manager stammered.Anna stood closely behind him, her eyes spitting fire at the restaurant manager. All eyes were now watching them, no one bothered to hide as they took it all in.Robert seemed to mutter something under his breath before he finally spoke.“Who is this negligent staff that has caused this?” “This is him, sir.” The manager replied pointing a finger at Jason. “That is my business associate.” Robert stated. “W…what?!” The manager stuttered.The receptionist quickly hurried over to him and whispered something.The manager's eyes widened in shock, as he immediately started to beg forgiveness.“Forgive me, Master Charleston, I didn't know he was an associate of yours.” The manager said bowing deeply from the waist.The other restaur

Jason stared in shock as the car pulled away from the curb and sped away.He was utterly speechless. Was the car stalking him? Who was the driver and what did he want with him?His thoughts ran wild as he watched the car disappear down the road. “Move it, some of us want to get home.” A voice said as he was shoved from behind. Jason realized that he was blocking the road on the busy sidewalk and immediately walked to the side.He glanced at his phone and saw that it was already six o'clock. He had roughly one hour to get home, change out of his clothes and head over to the Charleston manor for dinner.He made his way down the sidewalk as he blended in with the throngs of people who were going back to their homes.He noticed the looks people gave him as he walked along. He didn't blame them, if it were someone else he knew he'd probably cross over to the other side of the road.Jason got home later than usual, his time running out more and more. He had a quick shower and changed int

Jason blinked twice to make sure he was seeing correctly. He hadn't received a single message from them all through the weekend and now a summon to dinner?He sighed in resignation knowing that he had no say in the matter and quickly set an alarm to remind him or else he would forget all about it.“Jackson!” Jerry called from his office.Jason swallowed his annoyance at the name. He had already corrected Jerry quietly, that his name was Jason and not Jackson but Jerry didn't want to know.He stood from his desk and made his way to Jerry's office.He knocked once before walking in.He saw Steven seated opposite Jerry doing nothing.“You called for me, sir?” Jason asked as he stood in front of them.“Yeah. Steven here is hungry I want you to take this and get him takeout from that Mexican place down the block.” Jerry said placing some money on his desk.Jason almost laughed. Get Steven his food? “Sir, can't Steven get his own lunch?” Jason asked. “Steven is the son of the owner of the

Jason coughed at the sudden question. Obviously, money actually mattered to the princess that was standing beside him.“Are you ok?” Barbie asked with concern when he finally stopped coughing.“Um.. yeah. I am.” Jason replied bwuth a tight smile.“Ok. I have to go now.” Barbie said.“Already?” Jason asked with a playful pout. “Yeah. I have a family thing that I have to be at.” Barbie replied.Jason nodded at her reply. He was grateful that the conversation had steered away from his carless situation to somthing else.Barbie dug a hand into her purse and it came out carrying a key fob.She pressed a key on it and the car unlocked.“I guess I'll see you later, Jason.” She said walking to the car door.“Yeah. Definitely.” He replied with a smile.Barbie got into the car and reversed out of her parking space, she waved at Jason from her window before she drove off.Jason waited and watched as her car disappeared from view before he turned and made his way to the school's main entrance wh

Chapter 31: The Scholarship Student
Jason trailed after Barbie like a lost puppy as she led him back to the burger shop.They got to the shop and thankfully, most students had already left for their next class or done with lectures for the day. Barbie walked to the counter while Jason scored them an empty table that was close to the window.It hadn't escaped Jason that people were looking at them weirdly when they were walking to the burger shop but he wouldn't let that put him down. He was determined to get Barbie's number and no side eye was going to stop him from getting it.Barbie returned carrying two plates with burger and fries and two cans of soda. “I don't think I had fries in my ruined lunch.” Jason said as he stood up and pulled out the seat for her. “You don't like fries? I'm so sorry, I can't have burgers without fries. I guess I should have asked you first.” She replied with a tense smile.It was obvious that they were both trying to impress each other.“It's okay, I like fries.” Jason replied, pushing

The girl giggled which made Jason realize that he'd said that out loud. He raised himself up with little difficulty and stood in front of the girl, heat creeping up to his face.“Are you ok?” The girl asked a bit tentatively.It was as if Jason wasn't paying attention to anything she was saying. He was busy taking in her beautiful, long, curly blonde hair. She had the prettiest hazel eyes and was considerably average.“Hey!” She screamed in face trying to get his attention.“Yeah, thanks for helping me out.” Jason replied, shaking his head. “No problem. I don't even know what's wrong with them, I mean why would they just beat you?” She said, adding that last part with annoyance. Jason smiled a little.The girl smiled at him “I need to get going now or else I'll be late for my first class. I guess I'll see you around.” She waved and walked away. Jason stood a bit in shock. That happened so fast, he was still thinking about how he'd ask for her name.Jason brushed away the dust on
