Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 1: Scorned and Betrayed
"Mia! This is way more than the salary I just received today. I won't be able to pay my tuition fee if I pay for this." Jason clutched the phone in his hand, swiping through everything in Mia's cart. The total cost of what was in his girlfriend's shopping cart would cost him his a full months salary. Jason had received an email a little earlier today that he'd be out of school if the day finished and he didn't pay his tuition. "Why are you so horrible to me? This is not even too much to ask for." Mia cried out.She flounced angrily in her chair and folded her arms, refusing to look at him. Jason sat admiring Mia's beauty. With skin that looked like the sun kissed it everyday, big blue eyes and bouncy blonde curls, Mia was a beauty.He hated seeing her frown. Maybe he could take up another job and be able to get her these soon? "Other girls get more than this from their boyfriend, Jason." Her words taunted him. Jason scratched his head as he stared at the phone screen. A message

"Of course, Hudson. Why would you even ask me that? I'll be your girlfriend, I'm already your girlfriend, silly." Mia answered, her pearly white teeth shining as she giggled. Jason stood and watched as Hudson leaned in and kissed Mia. His blood was boiling and the rage engulfed him, making him really consider doing something he was sure he'd regret. Hudson released Mia and turned to look at Jason with a sly grin on his face."What are you still doing here, you loser?" Hudson asked Jason, as he pulled Mia closer to him, his left arm hanging possessively around Mia's slim waist. Jason eyed the arm, gritting his jaw to the point of pain. "Baby, don't mind him. He's just some really slow guy, in one of my classes, that has this stupid crush on me. I've already told him several times that I wasn't interested but he doesn't listen. He just keeps following me, and I didn't want to hurt his feelings." Mia whined to Hudson, and then placed her palm on his chest. "Why are you doing this, M

"What is going on here?" The school vice chancellor's voice bellowed. The crowd parted and gave way for the campus security to pull Jason to his feet. "He hit me." Jason said to the man, pointing a finger in Hudson's direction. The Vice Chancellor moved to Hudson and nodded respectfully to him in greeting. "You may leave now, Mr. Hudson. I am so sorry that something like this happened to you on school grounds. I apologize on behalf of myself and the school. I assure you that Jason here will not go unpunished for what he's done to you." The vice chancellor addressed Hudson, assuring him. "Make sure you keep your scholarship students away from the ones that can actually afford this school. They need to learn their place." Hudson spat furiously. Ridiculous, Jason thought. He wasn't a scholarship student, he paid his tuition himself! "Of course, sir. I'll make sure that this incident never repeats itself. Once again, I apologize." The vice chancellor said with a grim look on his
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 4: Mirrors
Jason gave the men a perplexed look, was it him they were addressing or someone else?Young master. Very funny, he scoffed. It probably was someone else, Jason thought and continued walking. "Young master!" One of the men called and quickly ran up to him."Is it me you're talking to?" Jason asked the man in black with a bewildered look on his face."Yes, young master. If you'd please come with us." The man told him."Come with you, where?" Jason asked taking a step away from the man."You'll know when we get there, sir." The man replied.Jason was about to sprint away when he bumped into another man in black."Get out of my way. Did Hudson pay you guys to do this? Who the hell are you people?" Jason asked, looking around, searching for a means of escape."Sir, we would like to avoid causing any unnecessary scenes here. Please just come with us." The first man said, his hand going to his face as he scratched in a shifty way, taking note of how passersby stopped to look at them."If y
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 5: Return of the Charleston Heir
Bison stared at the old man in bemusement, more than a little taken aback by the man's familiarity with him. He took a step back from the old man.The man arched his brow, letting his hand drop in disappointment. He looked sad for some reason. Jason looked around the room, finally taking notice of a girl, a few years older than him, standing by the old man's desk. He remembered he'd been forcefully brought here. "Are you people insane?" Jason blurted out. He had just been kidnapped by these people and they were looking at him as if he was their savior."Excuse me?" The young girl spoke up, arching a well carved brow in a show of arrogance that was second skin to those filthy rich people Jason always saw in the movies. "Who the hell are you people?" Jason continued, completely ignoring Anna's question and glaring daggers at the two of them."We are your family, Jason." The old man answered, taking a step closer to him."No, you are not." Jason replied."I am your grandfather, Jason.
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 6: Devil Bully
“Wait a minute,” Jason shifted back, his hands running over his face in jerky motions. “I can't be your grandson. I was raised by my grandparents. I have my own family.” The disbelief and frustration was rife in Jason's voice. The lady smiled for the first time, also moving closer to Jason. “That's because we lost you. Grandpa can explain everything to you later…cousin.”Jason laughed then, shaking his head. “This can't be true.”Sensing Jason's frustrated disbelief, the doctor took the files from the desk and crossed to Jason's side, handing them to him a little too reverently. Jason's eyes read the words slowly, over and over again.A 99.9 percent match to Robert Charleston. That was the old man. Jason rubbed his eyes, but the words were still smack in his face. “How?” He whispered, handing back the DNA test results to Robert. Anna answered him. “You're Jason Charleston. You're the heir to Charleston group of companies and that includes the $60,000,000,000 your father left yo
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 7: Demolition
Jason stalked towards his grandmother, his hands shaking with rage. He held onto her shoulders and helped her to her feet. "What the hell is going on here?' He demanded immediately. He could hardly restrain himself from punching Hudson out of respect for his grandmother."What does it look like, you fool? Your pathetic excuse of a grandmother, is begging me not to have you suspended so that you do not miss your exams. Tell me why I should listen to the old hag and pardon you." Hudson said, smugly stuffing his hands into his pockets with his chest puffed out."What do you mean she's begging you?" Jason asked almost exploding with anger. His hands fisted by his side's."Is that not right old woman? Now get on your knees and beg." Hudson kept his eyes on Jason's grandmother, arrogance ringing in his every word. He really believed everyone bowed to his pompous ass, and would always end up kissing his ass, one way or another."Is it true, grandmother?" Jason asked her incredulously, his
Rise of The Charleston Heir Chapter 8: Dealing with the Devil
Jason paused and glanced up when he noticed that people were stepping away from him and Hudson.He sat on the whimpering Hudson's chest, his bloodied fist about to demolish what was left of the dumb fucks face. One look at the school director standing over them made him breathe, finally the haze cleared and he could hear his grandmother crying. Hudson used the distraction and shoved Jason away from him and quickly standing and stumbling on his feet before going to where Mia was standing. She quickly flung herself into Hudson who wrapped his arm around her.Jason's grandmother ran to Jason, hitting his upper left arm with her tiny purse. “I told you not to do it, I told you!”Jason pushed himself up and stood before the director whose face was red with anger.His bald head beamed in the harsh sunlight. "What happened here?" He demanded, surveying both Hudson and Jason. He faced Hudson, giving Jason his back. "Your pathetic, poverty stricken,scholarship student hit me!" Hudson's wo

“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
