Sebastian turned to Cecile who was on her phone and said, “Thank you for being here till this time and sorry for keeping you for long only for me to focus on another project.”“You sound like it was you who made me stay back; I chose to stay back to work on the project of my own free will Seb. The apology is unnecessary, don’t make the atmosphere uncomfortable for everyone. Gavriel is tense enough as it is.” She raised a brow at him and then continued what she was doing.Sebastian was at a loss for words. He scratched his head awkwardly and said,“There’s still a lot remaining for the project to be complete, I’ll feel guilty if you’re doing it alone. How about we continue working on it next tomorrow? The project is not due for another four to five days at least.”“She chuckled lightly, “Relax Seb. Don’t worry, I don’t plan to do everything by myself tonight. That’s a lot of work to complete in one night. I just need the distraction of working on something for a bit so I’m staying back
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 25. Projects 3: The Plan
Silence descended on the lab, everyone was thinking.For Lecturer Grizzalo’s project, they still needed to do the scale modelling of their blueprint, and that was a lot of work considering it hadn’t been started already. For Gavriel’s project, between completing the prototype design and building the prototype, they still had a lot of work to do.“I’ll take care of the scale modelling Seb, you can concentrate on Gavriel’s project,” Cecile spoke up.“But…”“It’s a lot, I know. I’m not confident I’ll finish it before the time for the presentation but we never know until we try right? And I’m quick with my fingers.” She wriggled her finger at Sebastian as she smiled at him. There was no hesitation in her eyes, instead, there was a gleaming fire in her eyes, a fire borne from the challenge. If there was one thing Cecile enjoyed, it was taking on challenges and overcoming them! And she so loved this particular challenge.“That would be pushing yourself too much Cecile…” It wasn’t that Sebast
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 26. A Stolen Praise
“Leonard, what do you mean by you’re cutting all ties with me?” Anna asked, her anger and irritation from last night still simmering on her skin. She was physically recovered thanks to Wintore Hospital’s expert care, but the same could not be said about her mind.“Exactly what you heard. I have no use for a has-been, a violent one at that. You should be grateful I didn’t put you in jail for assault.” Leonard was still nursing the stinging pain on his bandaged right cheek from the injury Anna inflicted on him last night in Wintore Hospital.“You have no right to throw me out now!” Anna’s voice was rising in decibels, just outside the conference room to be used for the project presentation, “Not after everything you made me do for you! Now all of a sudden when I need you the most, you’re leaving me to hang dry?!!!” A mini crowd was gathering around them.Leonard dragged her away from prying eyes into a corner, he pinned her with his elbow at her neck to the wall, “Listen and listen caref
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 1. Even if you Die
Sebastian ran like his life depended on it to the exam hall and actually, his life did depend on it. He had been fighting all night long. Part of his side test for the Guerrieri trials was to defeat an underground den and this was no simple underground den. They used acids actively in their operations and his job was to subdue them or completely wipe them out.He had fought into the morning – the fight took so long because he had other plans in mind, outside the task given to him by the Guerriero family. He was not a mere contestant; he had a secret agenda, and as an abandoned son, he only had himself to rely on to get revenge and to make a living.When he checked his time, it was 6 am and he had his first semester test that morning by 8 am.Attendance was the crucial factor here and not necessarily the grade as it would determine if you could write the finals for that semester.He stepped onto the road and as far as he could see, there were no vehicles, not even a bicycle in sight. Th
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 2. Did he have to exhaust his manpower on me, a nobody?
Leonard looked at the rod on the ground, his anger intensified, and he was literally red now. He lunged for Sebastian, punching and kicking but Sebastian blocked or dodged most of it. Leonard whistled, calling for backup. Men emerged from the corner, some were barehanded and some had sticks in hand. There were around ten men who appeared. “Woah woah bro, there’s no need to go this far. You damaged a car, it’s only right you pay for it, there’s no need to get violent over such a simple matter” Sebastian raised his hand in defeat Leonard laughed darkly. “Your first mistake was telling me what to do, then added to your crimes by trying to report me and you dodged my blows just now! If I do not make you crippled today, my name is not Leonard”. Sebastian tried to run but more men appeared from behind him, encircling him. There was no getting out of this without fighting his way through. His plan was to fight through an opening and then make a run for it – at this moment he felt a pr
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 3. A Sketchy Message
The battleground fell silent.The thud of a body falling to the ground was heard, other than that, the silence was palpable.Sebastian blinked and blinked again, then looked below him. He didn’t know when the scream escaped his mouth -“Gramps!!!”“Gramps? Gramps! Gramps!!!” he bent down and held Gramps. He applied pressure to the gun shot area. “Someone call an ambulance!” he screamed“No one would do such!” Leonard who recovered from the shock of what just happened barked out. He had gotten the perfect aim for Sebastian and Sebastian could not escape because the men were pinning him down.When he pulled the trigger, he suddenly saw the old man jumping in front of Sebastian! What a man! Was he not scared of death? Was Sebastian that important to him?Max immediately pulled out his phone completely ignoring Leonard. Leonard turned to him, “I said no one should do such” he repeated. Max completely ignored him, dialling the emergency number and it began to ring.Leonard pulled up his gun
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 4. I owe them five hundred thousand dollars
His eyes widened for a second, then he regained his composure. “Umm, can I make an instalment payment? I do not have the full amount at the moment” He only had ten dollars to his name at the moment. Where was he to get five hundred thousand dollars from? Sebastian thought to himself “Come with me to the counter to process the necessary documents for instalment payment.” The nurse replied. They went down to the counter. As Sebastian was filling in the necessary details, a lady walked in, looking in Sebastian’s direction. She looked at what he was doing, wrinkled her nose and asked, “Who dragged a dead dog in here?” No one responded or acknowledged her presence. She stomped her foot on the ground and yelled in a loud screeching voice, “How dare you low-lives ignore me?” The nurse looked up at this point. She didn’t recognise her still but on scanning her outfit, she was donned in limited edition wear from head to toe. If she could afford to dress like that, she must not have
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 5. Did he know?
Sebastian stood at a corner opposite the café he was supposed to meet the Guerriero guys. He was on time but he was not about to walk into what he did not know; in a place he was not very familiar with.For all he knew, this could be all a cruel joke by a rich heir and he had had his fill of rich heirs for a while. The next time they cross him, he may really lose it. He picked a newspaper on the floor, opened it and used it as a shade, standing by a dark corner to monitor the Cozy Café. Nothing was happening inside, everyone was carrying on with their business normally, nothing was out of place and no one was waiting behind from his point of view. It was already 9 am, and he considered going back home and sending them a text to meet him in a place of his own choosing. He at least wanted to pay them back for the money he spent and draw up an instalment payment plan. For someone who just spent five hundred thousand of money that was not his, he wondered where his effrontery was comin
