As soon as Grace read the message, she realized something was not right. She got to her feet and fiddled with her phone with trembling hands.Since she arrived outside Starry City with Ricky, everything had not been the same. Grace was aware that going to jail was a much better option than staying here, even though Old Master Scavo chose not to file any charges.At first, she was fed up, she tried calling all the numbers she knew but it just didn't go through. It felt as though she had vanished entirely from the world.Two days ago, Ricky left home, saying he wanted to meet up with his manager.Grace decided it would be best if Ricky spoke with his Manager since he was asked not to sign the company's next contract.And since two days ago, Ricky hadn't returned home.When she saw the message on her phone, she was starting to become restless, and she had a gut feeling that Ricky had either done something or was about to do something.With haste, Grace gathered a few items and prepared t
"Mrs. Malfoy, not Miss Woods" The stylish woman corrected, bringing the cup of coffee to her lips. "I'm surprised you asked to meet, Mrs...""Call me Grace, and I will call you by your name as well," Grace replied.Some years back Arlina and Grace met at an auction house. They weren't acquainted then but they met again at a tea party and we're familiar with each other.Their familiarity isn't like that of close friends, it is much like that relationship between wealthy people.Arlina was married to one of the richest men in Arty City while Grace also directs the biggest constituents of the Scavo Group. Arlina wasn't really interested in Grace before but after what she saw at the hospital, she just couldn't think of anything while Grace knew that only someone with the same power as the Scavo family could be worthy of interfering in the matters at hand.Even if something goes wrong, it won't affect the Malfoy Family too much.Grace knows her son, what he can do, and what he cannot do. A
A gasp escaped the man's lips as cold water was splashed on his face. Coming back to life, he struggled against his restraints, his breath coming out in short, panicked bursts. His eyes, wide, frantically swept around the dimly lit room, searching for any clue as to where he was.The room was small, suffocating, and gave off an eerie sense. The walls were a faded shade of white, peeling in some areas, revealing the bleak grey concrete underneath. The room was small, with only one lightbulb hanging from the ceiling and its weak light creating long, ominous shadows. It seemed as though no one had been in there for a long time because of the musty smell in the air.The chair he found himself bound to was old and worn. The wooden structure squeaked beneath his weight, and his wrists and ankles were bit by the rope that kept him securely in place. The man strained against his bonds, desperate to break free and escape the foreboding atmosphere that surrounded him.His eyes fell upon a s
Hearing the Scavo family name, Jeff gave Arlina a cold stare. Arlina felt the effect of the stare, and for a split second, she was speechless.Although she had prepared some words for him when she arrived, they vanished from her presence as though they had never existed. She can't wait to divulge all Jeff's atrocities to the Malfoy Family and they will eventually know that she was right all along. They will know that the fake son they brought from Arty City is a trickster and a wicked person."The person I kidnapped?" Jeff scoffed at her words. "Are you shameless or you are pretending to be?! You just barge in here and start accusing me of kidnapping someone! What the hell are you talking about.""Are you going to continue denying it?" Arlina uttered, her voice not as harsh as before. "You thought your evil deeds would be hidden forever, right? Wait till the Scavo Family knows what you did by almost killing him and framing someone else for it.""Now that's a huge story you've got the
Of course, it didn't make sense to Arlina. Why was she afraid of a country bumpkin just because he said a few words?"I'm not scared, just surprised!" Arlina screamed this in her mind. Jeff, though, stayed stoic, anger brimming in his eyes. "Didn't you try to kill Old Master Scavo?" Trying her hardest to sound harsh, Arlina finally spoke up. But it was obvious, her voice had an underlying tone of fear. "Ricky found out and you framed him for it. You are exposed, there's nothing you can do. I won't blame him for trying to get back at you."Arlina finished her final words, her voice filled with disdain as she criticized Jeff for his alleged evil deeds. The air was thick with uncertainty, and the room hung heavy with tension. Without warning, the door swung open with a force that sent a gust of wind coursing through the room.Jamie stood frozen in shock as she laid her eyes upon Arlina, her expression etched with disbelief. Liam, standing beside her, shared the same incredulous gaze.
"Young Master Jeff" Chris called, running after Jeff. "Let me take you home, I brought the car."Jeff said, "I have to be somewhere now, I am not going back." He did not turn around. He still had something to do before going home. "Don't mind Madam's words. She didn't...""Chris! I don't care about my Father's wife but she went too far today" Jeff cut in.After Arlina departed, Chris showed up at the hospital. He got a sense of the situation when he heard the gossip and murmurs that were going around the hospital.In addition, he was irritated because he never imagined the woman he had always considered elegant would harm someone, especially someone Old Master Malfoy loved.Chris immediately informed Old Master Malfoy about everything that transpired at the hospital. Jeff's daily activities are usually disclosed to the Old Man by him.Chris, though, is aware of the kind of information he can provide the Old Man."I know she went too far, Young Master Jeff but what about your injury?
As the new Section of All Stars began, the campus was abuzz with excitement. Students were bustling around, ready to start their new classes and meet their new schoolmates. The atmosphere was alive with the anticipation of a fresh start.Amongst the crowd, Elias stood out, not only for his flashy car but also for his reputation as a well-known celebrity and a brilliant student. He relished in being the center of attention, always wanting others to know he had arrived.Entering the school grounds, Elias parked his car and stepped out, a confident smirk on his face. His sleek hair was styled perfectly, and his designer outfit screamed sophistication. As soon as he stepped onto the campus, heads turned and whispers filled the air."I can't believe Elias is here already! I've heard so much about him," said a first-year student who waited near the entrance."Yeah, he's supposed to be really smart and talented," replied her friend.As Elias walked towards the main building, students were
Jeff raised his brows upon hearing Sarah's words. Isn't today supposed to be a joyous day? After all, this is his first day of school.Since Jeff stepped foot into All Stars today, he has been receiving a lot of stares from everyone. Whether it was admiration or hatred, Jeff didn't care and only made way to complete the necessary things.After visiting a few offices, he realized that the stares were getting too much but being the nonchalant kind, he ignored the stares and made his way to his department.The people there aren't so welcoming too and it's really getting frustrating."Why would I insult him?" Jeff posed a query in response. "It is what the forum says! You insulted Professor Sean and switched departments from the department of modern medicine! At this rate, our department will not survive much longer," David said.David was a third-year student and some years older than Jeff. Having seen Jeff twice before they met in school, he was not particularly fond of him. The first
