2024-10-29 19:42:56When Kraig heard Juan's words, he turned to Wynn and held her hand and then said,
"Don't we have something to do?"
Wynn did not understand what Kraig meant, but she nods her head, "Of course."
Jade's throat tightened, unable to digest what was happening.
'Was it the fact that Kraig was dressed elegant or that he was with Wynn that tortured her.'
There was no guessing, as Jade was overwhelmed by the fury that was coursing through her veins.
"Is this your way of exerting revenge Kraig?" Juan asked causing Kraig to stop in his tracks.
Swiftly, Kraig turned to look at him. Juan's words didn't affect his countenance. He looked just as dignified, exquisite and daunting.
Jade pursed her lips and took a deep breath, unable to believe that Kraig was over her.
'Thst can not be!' She thought.
"I did not know you could go to the extreme just to get your ex back." Juan wrapped his hands around Jade's waist from behind.
Kraig was satisfied with the fury in Jade's eyes and he taunted her further, "You too look good together."
He had deliberately mentioned it. Jade clenched her fist to suppress the fire in her heart.
"Kraig, is this your new way of impressing girls?" Jade sneered. "Renting an expensive car with a hefty loan just to woo them? I must say, it's quite the strategy."
Kraig's jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing as he said, "And is this your way of breaking up with me?"
Jade was startled by his words, "I broke up with you, cause I'm done. You are useless anyways."
Kraig's eyes narrowed at her forceful response, "Hold on to that, don't you dare change your perception of me."
'So rabbits for get angry!' Jade thought.
How long have it been...three years, it's been three. Jade thought as she stares at Kraig unable to believe the rudeness emanating from him.
Kraig had always been gentle with his words, and was careful around Jade.
She wasn't used to this side of him, and it vexed her.
"Enough Kraig, let's leave." Wynn grabbed Kraig's hands and was about to leave when Jade blurted out-
"Are you sleeping with him?"
Wynn swerved around instantly, "What do you mean Jade?" She yelled.
"Come on, I won't get mad at you. I'm just worried you have poor taste in men." Jade laughed.
"They must have done it in the car. Oh Wynn, you act so high and noble, never knew you are nasty!" Juan snaked out his tongue and laughed loudly.
Kraig's insides turned, he rushed to where Juan was and hit him with his fist.
There was a sudden satisfaction that spread around Kraig's eyes as he stared at Juan crawling on the ground.
He have always wanted to punch Juan for his relentless taunting and direspect.
Juan, fueled by anger and humiliation, quickly recovered and signaled to the security of the university.
Juan's uncle was manager of the university, and for this reason, he could easily use the security for bully and get away with it.
Jade watched with a smug on her face, as the security personnel approached, ready to apprehend Kraig.
Kraig stared at the guards as they approached, and for a moment, he prepared himself to take some blows.
Juan's stared at Kraig, his eyes darkened as he said to the security, "Beat him up."
Wynn's heart raced with panic. She grabbed Kraig's hand, urging him to flee, but they were surrounded, with no means of escape.
"This is all a misunderstanding, we are students, you can't beat up students." Wynn tried her best but the guards only listened to Juan.
"What are you waiting for?" Juan yelled at them, and one of the guard grabbed Kraig by his shirt.
Suddenly, the entrance to the parking lot darkened a bit, as a car drive inside. The guards stared at the car, as it drove directly at them.
They let go of Kraig and quickly rolled off the way for the car. The car stopped, and two hefty men stepped out of the car.
"Mr. Kraig, is everything alright?" One of the hefty man asked.
Kraig nodded, and then sighed. He held.om to Wynn's hand, who stood quietly behind him.
The men turned to the guards and beat them up. As Juan tried to interfere, he received a punch on his face, and he fell to the ground.
"Who the hell are you people?" Jade screamed at the men, as she laid Juan's head on her arms.
When the men was done, they turned to Kraig and excorted him out of the parking lot.
Wynn's mind was filled with so much curiosity as she stares at Kraig.
She was now even curious about Kraig's identity.
Juan frowned, as he bleed out from his lips. Rage hovered him.
"I will get my revenge." He muttered.
He grabbed his phone from inside his pocket, and dialed a number.
"I need your help!"

It was a regular day on campus, all the students were in maths class.As much as Kraig listened diligently, he was unable to stay focus. He couldn't help but notice that Wynn was staring at him. Since the incident at the parking lot the previous day, he had been trying his best to ignore her, but he knew that Wynn had many questions, especially about how he had suddenly come into wealth.The classroom fell silent as the teacher left, and it was then that Wynn seized the opportunity to approach Kraig. She leaned in and softly asked, "Kraig, would you like to go for lunch with me?"Kraig hesitated, his eyes avoiding Wynn's, and then replied, "I'm heading to the library, Wynn."Wynn's expression turned somber as she pressed further, "Kraig, I know you've been avoiding me. Can you please tell me what happened to you? You used to be... well, nobody."Kraig stumbled over his words, unable to provide a satisfactory answer, when suddenly, one of Juan's friends, Peter, swaggered over to them

The tension in the headmaster's office escalated to new heights as the headmaster's request for Juan and Griffin to kneel before Kraig was met with defiance. Griffin, with a scowl etched across his face, spoke up firmly, "I won't kneel to any student, and if you insist on siding with Kraig, I will withdraw Juan from this school immediately, and I'll ensure that all our family's donations cease." The Dean, taken aback by Griffin's threat, hesitated for a moment. The prospect of losing the influential family's donations weighed heavily on his mind. With a reluctant nod, he turned to the dean and said, ", perhaps we should reconsider the situation. Maybe Kraig is indeed the one at fault here." The dean, eager to avoid further conflict, quickly apologized to Griffin, his voice shaking slightly as he did. "Mr. Griffin, I apologize for any misunderstanding. We value our longstanding relationship with your family." Griffin's expression softened, satisfied with the dean's submission. He le

After the tumultuous events had settled and everyone had left, the headmaster approached Kraig, a solemn look on his face. He cleared his throat and began, "Kraig, I owe you an apology. I should have handled this situation better, and I'm deeply sorry for the trouble you've endured." Kraig smiled as he said, " It's no problems Headmaster." He wasn't at all friendly with the headmaster, as he knew very well that the headmaster had only sided with him because of his grandfather. The headmaster further asked Kraig to seat and when he asked about Kraig's classes, Kraig only nodded and tells him they were great. But then, the headmaster was a bit reluctantly regarding the words that was hung on the tip of his tongue. When Kraig noticed this, he scoffed, "Is there something else headmaster?" Kraig was dying to leave immediately, he had no idea how to quickly leave the office. "Actually there is." The headmaster smiled at Kraig. "I had no idea you are the son of the DeVille." "App

"Why, Kraig?" Wynn asked, her voice tinged with worry. "Why do you want to stop being friends with me?"Kraig, burdened by the weight of his secret life and the challenges it posed, hesitated for a moment. He knew that Wynn deserved an explanation, but he also wanted to protect her from the complications he was facing. He decided to be brutally honest, hoping that it would discourage her from probing further."I don't want to have any friends," Kraig replied, his tone resolute.Wynn, however, was not one to be deterred easily. Her eyes softened with compassion, and she smiled warmly at Kraig. "Well, you accidentally became my friend, and that's how it's going to be."Kraig couldn't help but be touched by Wynn's unwavering determination to maintain their friendship. Seeing an opportunity to lighten the mood, Wynn suggested, "How about we have lunch at Kipps? My treat."Kraig was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected invitation. But then he accepted,"All right, Wynn," he said, hi

Kraig, took a deep breath. He quickly walked back into the cafe to rejoin Howie. As he walked in, Kraig was stunned when he noticed Wynn and Howie rather too close to each other.Their hands were locked and Howie's seemed to be attentive as he listened to Wynn.There was a sudden distress that sting Kraig's heart. He felt a rush of jealousy running through his spine.His chest clogged of jealousy so much that he couldn't breath. But he didn't get why he was jealous, it wasn't as if Wynn was his girlfriend.'She isn't!' He convinced himself.

The nurses turned to Kraig, startled by his sudden appearance. Madam Zury, who had been frail and quiet, looked up weakly, her eyes glimmered for a moment as she try to recognize the child standing in front of her. "Who are you?" one of the nurses asked, her tone defensive. Ignoring the question, Kraig approached Madam Zury, taking her frail hand in his. "It's me, Kraig. I've come to check on you." Madam Zury's eyes welled up with tears as she whispered, "Kraig, my dear." Kraig turned to the nurses with a stern expression. "This woman cared for me and countless others when we had no one else. She employed you, is this not enough reason to respect her?" The nurses exchanged glances and then looked at Kraig's casual attire—jeans and a plain sleeve. One of them couldn't resist a smirk. "Still struggling, are we?" she asked, her voice tinged with mockery. The other nurse chimed in, her laughter not far behind. "Yeah, and I wonder if he can even afford university." Kraig felt his f

Her heart ached at the sight of the young faces, their eyes filled with confusion and concern. She turned to Kraig, her voice wavering with worry, "Kraig, my dear, I can't leave them behind. How will we survive, and where would we they go?"Kraig gazed at the children, realizing that there were about 14 of them, ranging in age from 6 to 10.

Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di

Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time.""So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform

Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron

He felt Daniel's breath on his neck; he could smell the overpowering cologne, the aura of his being. Everything was too much for him; he had no choice but to take a step away from him.Daniel raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"Fabio rubbed his neck, trying to smoothen out the goosebumps that showed up on his skin, trying to rub away his presence away from him."If you want to look at it, here," he tossed it to him and then turned towards the funeral home where Wesley and his mother were still hiding.As Fabio approached, he saw that an older woman was placed on a stretcher and was being pushed towards the

Tabitha's heart raced violently in her chest. The anger that suddenly arose within her obviously had no recipient. If it was any other day, she could probably rant to Carolene, but the woman in front of her, sitting with a wrinkle between her eyebrows and a tired expression mixed with her livid one, surely wasn't in the mood to hear her bullshit.She cleared her throat and tried to work her way around her emotions, to be careful not to let Carolene's rage come upon her and to not let hers find comfort in Carolene.Tabitha bit her bottom lip until she drew blood. It was the best way to keep her lips shut. Her anger was nowhere near what Carolene would do to her if she spoke out of turn."Juan?"Carolene nodded her head, her fingers twirled in her hair as an exasperated sigh left her mouth."I have more reasons to kill him now." Their eyes met, "you were the one who wanted to keep him alive, why?"Tabitha immediately pulled her eyes away, bringing them beneath, showing the authority Car

Kraig took a step forward, the distance between him and Patricia only the space of two fingers. "I don't know why you are being like this," he said coldly and in utter disrespect. "I am the heir, I am the son of your nephew, and I apologize for the patriarchy, but I wasn't the one who made the rules.""And in addition, we have our own company we manage. Uncle had been quite understanding of how unfavorable the system is, and he gave us a company," Wesley said.Kraig raised an eyebrow in surprise, "so you have your own company, then what is your problem with me?""You own everything; you men took everything," she cried out. "I don't like this, I don't want this."Tabitha stood on the side, watching everything. She noted that surely it was because of the woman's age that was making her cranky and not just that; she might have some sort of disorder.When they first met, the woman had never really liked her, nor even tried to hide her disgust and hate.

She could recall how she had gotten out of prison, but no matter how many times she thought about it, it just didn't make sense to her.The woman arrived at the cell with the keys that would free her, and then the two of them just walked out. There were people there, officers everywhere like a pandemic, but she just waltzed through the crowd like it was nothing, like they were all beneath her.And from what Leah had seen with her eyes. They were really beneath her.She jumped off the bed and checked the time on the small black alarm clock resting on the nightstand. It was over three in the afternoon. She was lucky.She had been given her own space where she would just exist.

Different exotic cars were parked in front of the simple funeral home. There were people coming from all directions with one aim in their hearts: to get to the funeral of Petrus DeVille. Although it was considered a tragic event, there were still reporters lined up across the place just so they could get an overview of what was going on in that small, cheap-looking funeral home.Kraig stood by the door as he welcomed people; some he recognized, but many were a mystery to him. He had a frown on his face, which should match the ceremony, but his frown had not generated from sadness but rather frustration.The last place he wanted to be caught in was standing by the door and addressing the people coming in and out. His grandfather did not deserve it.The noise reporters kept making and the noise from the funeral home joined together, giving Kraig a severe headache.
