2024-07-29 05:02:15Despite being the early hours of the day, the dorm was rather too loud as the students carried over the groove from last night. Some were hanging on the bonnets of their expensive cars with their lovers, while some just got back from the club, still drenched in smoke and hard liquor. However, some serious-minded students were already set to hit the gym and prepare for the day.
And there was Sebastian Stone, a handsome and tall brunette, very muscular with a stern look. He was a guy of little words, the only time you could catch him smile was when he was around his girlfriend, Marilyn, or his roommate, Steve. He was an embodiment of charisma, even though he was just the Dorm’s laundry guy.
Sebastian was a final-year medical student at the institute and the only student who passed the Trust fund scholarship in his set. Despite his tuition fees being catered for by the institution, he still had to work very hard to cover his nonacademic expenses. So he opted for being a laundry guy after he carried out a survey and noticed how lazy and carefree some rich students were.
Sebastian had been up since five am, picking up dirty laundry from his clients in the VIP dorm. The pains in his eyes and gritted teeth were a hint of how much his back hurt from excessive clothing that filled his voluminous backpack.
“Knock knock! It's Sebastian the Laundry guy…” Sebastian’s Voice rang off on his last client's door, while he patiently waited for a response.
“Hold the fuck on!” A husky and cranky male voice thundered, his tone piercing through the loud vibrational R&B music playing out of his expensive boom box speaker.
The bass wave trembled on the ground and almost blew out the roof. After all, it was the Presidential Dorm, they never got queried or disciplined for misbehaving or breaking the rules, because their parents were highly involved financially in the school's activities.
Sebastian in no time was mesmerized by the rhythm of the song as he nodded his head and muttered the lyrics, while he waited for his client to open up the door or rather toss the clothes from the window as usual.
After five minutes of standing without a response, Sebastian began feeling agitated, his eyes narrowed in annoyance as the music slowly turned into noise pollution. He raised his hand in anger with a tightened fist yet he still gave a gentle knock, so he didn't portray rudeness.
“Hello??? I'm still here!!!” His voice echoed calmly even though his irritation was burning through his gray eyes. The weight of the bag hanging on his shoulder was making him feel a sharp below his chest whenever he breathed due to his asthmatic history.
“Get the hell out of you can’t wait!” Donald’s voice emanated sharply again, irritation palpable in his tone.
Donald Rowland was fond of being an asshole and never regarded anyone’s time irrespective of your person. He was a final-year student of the Institute, a respecter of none!
He could pass as the top two richest students and the most sought-after male in St Psalms Institute. Donald drove the most exotic cars in school, making girls and even some lecturers dance to his tunes for favoritism and gifts.
Solely because his father, John Rowland was among the richest in the region and also had the highest awards by the institution due to his contributions. Donald felt it was okay to trample on people's feelings and rights without being questioned. Well, he never got questioned after all.
“You have been standing there for some minutes now, I'm sure Donald is busy screwing his whore! You should go back and check on him later, Laudary guy!” Another student stated with mockery in his tone, making Sebastian’s anger boil even more.
Annoyingly, fifteen minutes had gone by already, Sebastian exhaled deeply, anger palpable in his countenance as he turned to take his leave, but the unlock sound from the door made him halt momentarily.
A sigh of relief escaped from his lips as he turned to face the door, but the sight he caught when he settled his gaze shattered his world completely.
“Here you go, Laundryman…” A feminine voice uttered, tossing the dirty clothes on his face. She was almost half naked with scattered hair, her droopy eyes and her alcohol-laced breath could tell she was high as hell. Her white towel almost left her chest, begging to be freed as it clung to her nipple alone.
She gave Sebastian a sultry look, before brushing her dark tattered hair behind her ears. Sebastian blinked continuously and cleaned his eyes to ensure that wasn't Marilyn, his girlfriend. Or could it be her look-alike? No.
“Marilyn????” Sebastian’s eyes hooded as he called out in shock, but before he could say Jack, Marilyn glared at him from head to toe, a mighty sigh escaped her lips before she slammed the door on his face causing him to jerk abruptly to reality, his heart beating faster than usual as he felt emptiness in his soul.
Marilyn Cooper was part of his strength, they had been in a secret relationship for the past two years and he had planned on taking their relationship to the next level immediately after they left college.
Even though Marilyn was gorgeous and petite, she still caught the eyes of many elite students on campus. Although Marilyn always reassured him and urged him to trust her whenever he felt insecure due to their class difference.
However, in the past months, she became very demanding and compared him to other elite students despite knowing his struggles. Sebastian tripled his hustle and took extra shifts at the cafeteria after lectures so he could at least see to her needs and also help himself, but it never seemed to be enough for the lady.
“She hated Donald Rowland, she always told me she hated his guts!…. Why on earth…? ” Sabestians uttered openly, his heart dripping with undiluted pain, one he had never felt in his existence.
Sabestian’s job was primary and he had a target to meet up with his clients. As a man, he tried to brush the feelings aside and continued with his duties, despite dying in silence. He strolled down to the laundry room to continue his job even though his whole body system had changed and he was unable to concentrate on his menial job.
***** “Holy shitttt!!!” Sebastian exclaimed, jolting back to reality when he perceived the smoke emanating out of Donald’s designer's jacket.“Not again!!!.” He mumbled while trying to see if he could fix the burn and ruffle on the Jacket, but the more he tried, the more the Jacket got torn.
The last time Sebastian ruined Donald’s shirt was two years back, Donald influenced the school into giving him an extra year, He locked him up in the basement and made him play tag with his dogs all weekend.
Sebastian had never forgiven Donald ever since, he was nothing but a rich bully and Sebastian never stood up to him because of the fear of losing his scholarship. Donald had the whole school in his control and dictated who stayed or left.
Sebastian quickly browsed the price of the Jacket online to see if it was something he could refund, but the cost he saw almost paralyzed him and sucked the air out of his lungs.
A whopping 80,000 dollars for an Alexander Weng Jacket! He had never seen five percent of that Income at once in his entire life, how would he now pay for this mess?
Ring!!!!!
“Donald is calling? Does he have a sixth sense?” Sebastian uttered with utmost frustration as he clung to his cell phone.

Sebastian exhaled deeply, and his palms suddenly became sweaty as tension built up. He clenched hard to his cell phone, staring at the caller ID before picking up the call. Donald usually calls him during the day to send him on minor errands, so he wasn’t shocked to see his call, but the circumstances he found himself in made him very tense and scared the hell out of him.“H… Hello.” His voice dripped with anxiety but he managed to remain calm, even though he was still very heartbroken from the sight he caught earlier.“Hey, Laundryman, it’s past noon already. Send my items to my room at once! but bring my Alexandra Weng jacket to me at the basketball court immediately, you know where to find me.” Donald stated from the other end of the line, his command making Sebastian anxious.How would he convey the heart-trenching news about his Jacket?“Hold on a minute, Donald. I have to tell…” The abrupt beep from Sebastian’s cell phone indicated that the call had been disconnected. He punch

After that heavy kick, Sebastian pounced heavily on Donald, he punched his guts so hard and gave him a hard nod on his lips. He had never unleashed so much anger on someone in his entire life, and for some weird reason, it was oddly satisfying he was unleashing it on Donald Rowland! “Get off me, you bastard!” Donald growled from the floor, unable to even throw back a single punch. His heart raced fast as he tried pushing Sebastian from his body, but Sebastian's body mass and strength overpowered him.“You…. will pay so dearly….. I promise!” Donald stated under his breath, while he used his hands to block and dodge punches thrown at him.Sebastian snarled and tightened his knuckle till it turned white, before unleashing it on his jaw this time,“How dare you spread lies about me with your girlfriend?!!!” Sebastian’s voice thundered, glaring deep into his eyes as he pulled him by his collar.For all the time he tossed his dirty clothes on his face, for all the time he made him play tag

“Quit acting like a kid, Steve. How bad is it?” Sebastian asked, his eyes laced with worry and uncertainty. His stomach grumbled from anxiety causing sweat to suddenly escape from his pores. “You shouldn’t have fought Donald, you shouldn’t have fought that bully!” Steve punched the air in anger, scratching his scalp in frustration. His demeanor made Seb even more concerned.Steve had always been a lily-livered guy, Sebastian looked after him like an elder brother and loved him wholeheartedly. For Steve to shed tears like a baby, that means the situation on the ground must be very crucial, due to the amount of chaos that occurred on campus the previous day.“A notice was pasted on the dean of student affairs notice board…. And,” Steve paused momentarily.“And what, Steve? What is the notice about?” Sabestian’s eyes widened, his heart beating faster than usual, he knew he was going to get into trouble, but he didn’t expect it to happen so fast. Well, that could be the influence of the

“My heavens! Grandmaster… forgive me, Grandmaster!” A husky sobbing voice yelled out.That was Benjamin, the man’s butler. He was about fifty years old and he appeared quite professional. Benjamin rushed to the scene, panting and looking very scared. He wasted no time in gliding to the floor not minding the very expensive gray suit he had on. His masculine scent was flavourful and immediately filled the air.“Oh! Do you know him?” Seb asked with furrowed brows, just to be sure and security conscious.“Of course!” Benjamin replied in a cold tone.He quickly grabbed the elderly man from Sabestian’s grip without sparing Sebastian a single glance or even uttering a word of appreciation to him, I guess he was too overwhelmed and shocked. “Grandmaster, I just left your sight for a moment…. This is the reason I humbly objected to you visiting Oakland, it doesn’t ever go well.” Benjamin stated, his eyes laced with fear even though he was glad he met the Grandmaster still alive.Despite indu

"Wait a minute! W.. what's going on here?" Sebastian's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed in confusion. He turned to face the old man who stood right behind him, "Is... that me?" he stuttered, his gaze shifting back to the golden wall frame of his doppelganger. For a moment, he felt his mind reeling as if the room was spinning around him.Benjamin then stepped forward, a subtle smile playing on his lips. "No, young master," he clarified, his voice low and soothing. "That's Master Alex, your father."“My father?” Sebastian scoffed in total disbelief. “There is no fact backing that claim,” Sebastian replied, his heart brimming with uncertainty as he kept ogling at the picture.“I understand your dismay, but everything would be related to you, sir.” Benjamin continued.“There is a high tendency you may have the wrong person, you know?” He asked, sharing equal glances with the duo. “Yes! The resemblance is mind-blowing but we can’t conclude by that alone.”The more Sebastian spoke, the mo

“I don’t think I have so much time left, son. I have been Favored greatly by the universe. I only had one wish and that was to find you, grandson, the one and only heir to the Adams Dynasty.”“Heir?” Sebastian asked, still trying to figure out what his grandfather was on about, his heart still reeling with shock from the wholesome revelation and now he is talking about him being an heir to the Adams Dynasty.“Yes! You, son, are the only surviving heir of the Adams, hence, it’s your duty to commit to this task and take over this dynasty.” The grandmaster replied.“Such great responsibility for a college student, I have zero experience, sir,” Sebastian said.“Adams are usually known for their bravery and leadership skills. And I’m sure you have that in you too.” The grandfather answered, a warm smile playing across his lips.Taking charge of a whole dynasty wasn’t a joke, it required years of experience and proper guidance. It takes more than just a leadership skill to rule and maintain

“St Psalm Adams?” The grandfather breathed as his softened gaze pierced deep into Sebastian’s eye. “That is your real name, son, your father named you after a saint due to the joy you brought into his life.”Sebastian’s eyes widened profusely,“So you mean I’m the owner of St Psalms Institute of…” Sebastian was too stunned to speak, he brushed his hands through his hair in astonishment, unable to contain all that had been poured on him.“The Institute was your father's least investment. You shouldn’t be thinking about that son. You have the whole dynasty in your name, I’m old and unhealthy, the Adams Dynasty needs a young blood to continue with her legacy.” His grandfather lamented, patting his hands on Sebastian’s shoulder.“I have been working for almost fifty years, and my brain isn’t working so smart anymore.” He continued.“You have absolutely nothing to worry about, son. A meeting with the managers and some stakeholders in all our companies will be held soon. Where you would be

“Call out your account details to Benjamin, son. It is my honor to hand over the token your dad had kept in place for you. You’re an Adam and your aura should speak splendor and sophistication at all costs.” The grandfather stated with pride gleaming in his eyes.“Another gift? But I have the unlimited black card.” Sebastian questioned, the endless flow of fortune blowing his mind away. Sebastian stuttered a bit while calling his account number, he felt a sharp rod settle in his stomach and his heart rate doubled. He was anxious and heavily confused about what to do with his fortune.A few moments after calling out his details, Sebastian let out an involuntary gasp, his hands flying up to his mouth as he stood with force, his eyes squinting to read the figures his eyes had just caught.“Holy hell! What?” He exclaimed in total disbelief, shock brimming from every angle of his face while his grandfather glanced at his reaction.“G… grandfather! Of what use is this income? This is exube

Sebastian and Benjamin’s hearts fluttered with restlessness, their impatient boiling over the roof, especially Sebastian’s.They had been impatiently waiting for the camera to be planted by Rose which looked like it was taking forever. Sebastian sat in front of the monitor while Benjamin paraded his room also waiting for a positive response.“Why is she taking so much time? It's almost an hour since she left your room!” Sebastian complained bitterly and Benjamin walked toward him, still bowing slightly.“Maybe he is giving her a tough time,” Benjamin said, trying to speak in Favour of Rose.“I told you that man wasn’t sincere, now see. He lied about having food poisoning.” Sebastian complained while Benjamin remained mute. He could tell the young master was paranoid and he didn’t want to make it any difficult for him.While they were talking, the monitor suddenly buzzed and turned on. They exhaled deeply, moving closer to the screen which was still shaking. They guessed Rose was sti

Benjamin rolled his eyes before he opened the door quickly and Rose came in quickly, after making sure no one saw her of course. He shot the door before glaring at her from head to toe. Anger and disgust brimmed from every corner of his countenance. Her behavior reminded him of his divorced wife, Shirley, who tried having an affair with the grandmaster. With the kindness of the grandmaster’s heart, he informed him about his wife's advances before she was thrown out of the villa after the divorce. Ben hated promiscuous women. However, Rose’s case was a bit understandable.“Are you ready?!” He asked in a stern voice and she nodded yes, although she still vibrated slightly from fear whenever she heard Benjamin’s voice.“Here is a camera. You can plant it in the flower vase facing the bed.” Benjamin said but her nose squinted with concern, she was scared to speak out.“Sir..” She began with a cracked voice. “I don’t think a camera will work.” she continued and Benjamin raised his brow

Despite the determination that eluded her demeanor, however, she was frightened and confused too. She pondered about the kind of work Benjamin was referring to and it made her heart rate increase profusely.“We need you to get close to Dr Tim and try as much as possible to get information from him,” Sebastian said, seriousness laced in his tone.He was willing to try everything possible to gather information about Dr Tim. He could feel it in his guts that something wasn’t right about the doctor. He couldn’t just place it. And if at all they were guilty like he had speculated that meant their scheme had been properly grafted before they got into the villa. They only used their profession as a camouflage to achieve their aim.Every means he had tried to get a clue had proven abortive. The drugs he had stolen from Tim and sent to the private lab came out clean. Paying the best hacker to gain access to Tim’s phone was still no progress. Sebastian was restless, he wasn't just ready to b

“What did you tell your lover? You told him the herbal doctor is the true don, right?!” Benjamin yelled, his tone stern and non-negotiable, causing fright in the heart of the lady.She forced her lips to remain close, joining them tightly. She was still shaking from the floor. Her eyes were tightly closed and her breathing filled with clogs.The grandmaster felt irritated, if not for the fact that they were trying to conceal the truth about Sebastian, they had no business carrying such a confrontation in his room. Rather, they would have easily disgraced her openly, outside the villa and in the presence of everyone. Not in a sacred place like the grandmaster’s chambers.“Take her away to the other part of my chambers!” He commanded deeply to Benjamin and he obeyed. He still needed to keep his health in check so it was wise they moved away from him. The noise and the wailing from the lady struck his brain hard which resulted in a headache. The lady knew exactly why she was fidgeting

The grandmaster sensed what Sebastian was trying to do and the balance he was trying to create between himself and Dr. Tim. It was commendable. His grandson had grown with so much wisdom all thanks to whoever brought him up.An unwise man would feel it was just a mere competition between two health practitioners but only a wise man would understand the stunt Sebastian was trying to pull.“Like I said doctor, I am not ready for any kind of medication today. And I do not want y'all insisting. My word is final.” The grandmaster said with the exact tone he used to respond to Tim and a grin of mockery was planted on Tim's face immediately. Targeted at making Sebastian feel embarrassed.“He felt his stupid herbal drugs were an exception. Stupid boy.” He mumbled under his breath. His gaze defeating as he stared at Sebastian who had taken a step back already. Sebastian, Benjamin, and the grandmaster shared a glance. Their minds were intertwined and they played the game with so much poise a

Sebastian was on his feet, eagerly waiting for Benjamin’s presence. Restlessness was evident in his demeanor as he walked up and down his room, his ears active waiting for any knock.His heart skipped a bit Immediately he heard footsteps approaching his room, he quickly rushed to the door and peeped through the peephole where he saw Benjamin who was about to knock on his door. He quickly Opened the door and Benjamin walked in and shot the door behind him.“What is the development, young master? I was startled immediately after I got your message.” Benjamin said, standing firm with just hands behind his back waiting for the next instruction.“Take a look.” Sebastian gave him his phone for a while and his eyes widened with each second as he went through the message sent by Karan Jose.“Really? They do have private meetings in this villa?” Benjamin asked with furrowed brows. His tone was laced with shock.“I told you I felt something was off with this guy. How do we get to hear their co

Sebastian stared at his grandmaster, worry laced in his countenance. He wondered what his grandfather meant by the enemy hanging around for ages. Why hasn’t permanent action been taken to ensure they met their Waterloo? Sebastian pondered to himself."My grandson, the enemy knows that our dynasty is equivalent to an unending treasure, their eyes would always be fixed on it.” He said but Sebastian still didn’t assimilate the message.“Grandfather, what do we do to wipe them out, I mean completely?” Sebastian asked, determination etched on his face. A weak smile curved upon the face of the grandmaster. “Wipe them off? As long as you are a great man, enemies will always lurk around you, son. It’s left for you to protect your empire or let them steal all you had labored for.” The grandmaster continued.Sebastian's annoyance became palpable. Although the grandfather was right, but he didn’t just see any reason why anyone would be so greedy to covet properties that he didn’t labor for.

This wasn’t just any coincidence but of course a well-planned conspiracy. After everyone in the Villa suffered a major food poisoning. The only opportunity they could question was the chef. The orchestrator had gone ahead to take the life of the pawn he used. How cruel?! A sudden surge of energy enveloped Benjamin. His hands molded into a fist while Sebastian clenched his teeth trying hard to still be in character so he didn’t blow his cover.Benjamin’s voice thundered, through the Villa's hallways and corridors. “Everyone!!! Fall out now!!’ His face was etched with anger. A few days the grandmaster fell ill, he couldn’t afford the Villa to fall on his watch. He had been too lenient and it might cost him his life too.While Sebastian and the rest walked behind him, Benjamin summoned all the workers in the main Villa and also security personnel from the main building. The atmosphere was very tense, the air thick with anxiety and curiosity. They all stepped out one after the other

Benjamin, despite being a bit weak quickened his pace as he reached out for his walking talking in the drawer. His heart was slamming in his chest because of the crazy thing happening that midnight. He needed to call the head of security to be on guard as he headed toward the alarm panel.“Hold on a minute, Benjamin!” Sebastian’s voice thundered, stopping Benjamin. His tone was laced with urgency while Ben halted immediately matching back to where Sebastian was.Sebastian squinted his gaze slightly as his mind reeled. “Before you sound the alarm, you must first change the lock code on the grandmaster's room. We can’t risk anyone snooping in there now.” Sebastian’s narrowed gaze was fixed on the monitor refusing to give Benjamin a single glance.“That’s a wise idea, young master.” Benjamin concurred with Sebastian's opinion.“Be fast and quiet about it, we must not wake him up,” Sebastian instructed.Benjamin nodded in coherence and walked off towards the grandmaster's room that was
