chapter three

" Where are you?" I just got a call from the hospital that you left walking already. " Xavier shouted again. I could feel a glint of happiness in his voice. I don't know if I should drag them into what I was going through. I was now a Grim Reaper.

I stood still and I could hear my grandparents shouting with joy over the phone. I decided to walk into the house and they hugged me. Xavier sobbed gently on me and Martha my grandmother was stunned. she looked at me and could hardly believe that I was walking. " I can walk now ma," I said with a glint of joy in my eyes. We all hugged and I immediately went into my room. I looked at her phone again and smiled. I had a whooping sum of $3,000,000,000.

The bang at the door made me rush out to see who it was. " What do you want?" I asked in a firm voice seeing the men in suits at my house. " What do I want? I had you treated and I was nice to you. what do I get in return? you broke down my window and ran away. how the hell are you even able to walk?" I looked back to see the doctor walk into the house. The door was completely broken down.

My grandparents were scared " We are so sorry doctor. I am going to pay the bills and also pay for the damages." Xavier replied looking at the doctor.

" Really? Pay for the damages? We are past beyond that now. I want something else." he said with a smirk

" What do you want?" I asked knowing what he was going to ask of me. " Tell me, how the hell you can walk with your two legs? I know your body was paralyzed. In fact, your whole system was. How did you manage to walk on two feet?" Doctor Albert asked.

" Do you believe in miracles doctor? Even if I tell you, you won't believe me." I replied. " Try me," he replied

The room became tense and I saw the look on my grandparent's faces. They also were eager to hear what I was going to say. " I was healed by God," I said with laughter and they all looked at me. " Do you think I am here to joke, Max? " Doctor Albert said without blinking

" Have that bitch shot in the head! " he shouted to one of his men

" Bitch? Did you just call my grandmother a bitch? " my lips parted and the word came out of my mouth with anger.

I looked at the doctor and noticed he was possessed by his demon spirit too. I needed to have it cast out and sent to the Abyss but I wasn't on any mission.

One of the men brought out a gun and shot at Martha but everything slowed down. I saw Xavier run towards his wife to get the bullet to his chest but then, the men in black suits appeared. And a fight ensured right in the middle of the room once more. " Let's get out of here!" I shouted to my grandparents as they fought tiredness.

The men were able to exercise the spirit and the doctor was fine. They left immediately without saying a word. " I will be expecting my payment," he said waking away from the wreckage.

" What bills? who will pay for the house damages?" I fired back in anger. Xavier placed a hand on me and told me to calm down. " Let's just try and patch things up."

I looked at him and smiled " What do you think about getting a new apartment?" I said looking into their faces

" A new apartment? And who is going to pay for that?" Martha asked still in shock. " I will. " I said gently looking through my phone. I immediately bought a house worth $3,000,000 online and have everything in order. I was no longer the poor and broken boy but now a billionaire and I was going to spend the money however I wanted. We packed into our new house while I waited for the next day.

The chirping sound of the birds woke me up. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the wall clock dangling on my wall. " Holly Molly! I. late." I shouted hitting the shower. " Why don't you wake me up! " I shouted as I heard someone open the door.

" I guess you decided not to go to school today," Martha said placing my breakfast on my bed. " Are you going?" She asked

" Of course ma, I am going," I replied coming out of the bathroom with a towel around my waist.

I quickly got dressed and drank my tea and ate my pancake. I rushed out of the house after greeting my parents goodbye

I was late and I wondered if I could get a bus to school. I ran as I walked and suddenly I materialized right in front of the school gate.

"What the fuck just happened?" I shouted in surprise

I walked into the school and I noticed all eyes were on me. " What! did Max come back from the land of the dead just to make Zaco and Flora pay for what they did to him?" one of the students said looking at me

" I am sure he is a ghost! but why are we seeing a ghost in our school?" another said

Everyone took out their phones and started to make a video record of me. I smiled seeing I was on top of the world. I was going to be famous but I was incredibly rich. I saw one of the students run toward the Elite class and I knew he was going to tell Zaco and Flora what he saw. I trailed behind him as all the students followed whispering behind my back. " What!" I heard Zaco's voice and I smirked

He walked out with Flora beside him " You are supposed to be dead? He said with his hand in his pocket

" Let's just say I was woken up from the land of the dead because of bullies like you." AI replied and all the students laughed

" Really? You just called me a bully?" he said walking towards me and pushing me right on the chest. I looked around and smiled.

" Did you just smile? wow! I guess coming back from the dead has given you a lot of balls. " Zaco said launching a blow at my face which I dodge carefully.

[ GASP ]

Everyone looked at me the way I loved dodging each attack and blow that was aimed at my face. I wanted to beat him up so bad but I remember the rules and regulations backing up my powers. I smiled, there were other ways to make him pay but first I needed to make Flora jealous of what she did to me. She didn't only pick Zaco over me but also had a hand in my death.

I looked around and I saw Grace. She was the hottest girl in the school. she sat down by a corner and carefully pressed her phone. " Yes! That was what I was going to do," I said to myself and walked towards her. without saying a word to her, I pulled her up and kissed her.

I was expecting a slap on my face but rather she kissed me too.

The whole school was surprised and wondered what was between the both of us. " Why would she kiss, Max? do they have a history together?" I heard a voice right behind me

" Woah! That was hot." Another said

I got disengaged from Grace and looked at Flora. " Jealous?" I said with anger. " I am going to get in your way from on now. You would see what it means to be rejected and even killed but no! I won't have you killed. I will make your life miserable that you would beg for death." I said and looked at Grace. " Are you coming, love?" I said with so much admiration in my voice

we both walked away while the rest of the student looked at us with surprise in their eye. They even took some pictures.

As we got into the school garden and were alone, Grace removed her hand sharply from mine. I looked at my palms and back to her face. " Why?" I asked with surprise in my voice

" Why what? That you kissed me without my consent or that you used me against your petty revenge!" she shouted at me

" Calm down, Grace," I said back at her

" Calm down? Really? do you go about just kissing random girls now to make a point to your Ex?" She looked at me

" I am going to do however I want and you are not in the position to tell me what to do," I said back folding my hands

" Oh yeah! say a boy that can't even take care of his looks. Do you know how you look?" Grace said gently looking at me

I looked at my sneakers which were old and worn out from trekking and being old. I looked at my uniform and they were a little jumpy. " Yeah, just what I thought. can you even afford me?" Grace asked with a smirk on her face

" Hmmm.... how much are you worth? " I asked back without looking at her. I had more than enough to spend on everything I needed. She let me quiet and I noticed her gaze on me. " $20,000 or $1,000,000. don't worry, you can name your price." I said absentmindedly

" You are out of your damn mind," Grace said gently walking away from me. I ran towards her and dragged her to myself. I could feel my heart beating fast against their ribcages. " Wha is this? am I falling for her? " I asked myself

Wanting to be sure, I placed a kiss on her lips again. Grace tried to free herself and when she did, she landed a very hot slap on my cheeks making them red.

" You scum! how are you different from Zaco? you just want to be another bully who has his way and gets whatever he wants. Then why can't he have you? I am sure he must have come to you." I said rubbing my cheek

" He can't afford me," Grace replied

" But I can." I replied still fixing my gaze on her " Just tell me how much." I walked closer to her feeling her breath on me. I looked into her brown eyes and I knew She was what I needed to exert my revenge against Zaco and Flora. " $1,000,000." Grace said without thinking twice.

"$1,000,000? l" I asked back in a surprised tone. I was expecting her to ask for more. Grace looked at me and laughed " Like you even have up to do in your account. I don't know why I am even here talking to someone like you." She said and walked away

" Can I have your account?" my lips parted with a smile on them. Grace turned back and stared at me " What? Are you serious?"

I said nothing but simply gave her my phone " Here, type them but on one condition. Will you date me?" I asked looking at her face

" Date you? I thought you just wanted to do this to make Flora jealous and get back with you?" She asked folding her arms. I smiled " Why would I want a girl that cheated on me and even almost had me killed? Do you agree to my conditions?" I asked looking at her face

" Well, you have to show me you have got some balls and not some timid Max the whole school knows. show me you have what it takes to be a man and I might consider dating you." Grace said still with her hand folded.

" Okay," I said without much thought and I immediately transferred the money.

[ TING! ]

Grace's phone rang and she looked at my face and gasped. I heard footsteps approach from behind me. I turned and I was hit on the head with a brick. I fell to the ground as blood trickled down from the cut. I heard Grace shout at the strange figure before me." Zaco!. " I said gently but the person before me wasn't Zaco. I looked at him and saw a fire around him." No way! an evil spirit? right in my school?" I fainted as I heard Jonas's voice
