Maneuvering his classic Ford SUV, Rex arrived at the hospital’s emergency bay and parked. The hospital, seen as one of the biggest and most cutting-edge in the city, stood out prominently. Feeling his heart race with anxiety, he quickly turned off the engine.Exiting the car, Rex took note of the bustling surroundings. When a nurse spotted him, she hurried over to attend to them with a genuine smile. "Hello, good day. How may I help you?" she greeted, her demeanor exuding warmth and professionalism."Yeah, we've got a patient. He was in a road accident," Rex exclaimed, anxiously observing the nurse rush towards Leander, her steps fast.“Um, did anyone help him with first aid?" With freckles sprinkled across her cheeks like stardust, the nurse was eager."Was any first aid given?" The nurse repeated. Rex shook his head, “We didn't administer any first aid.”As the door swung open, the nurse gasped sharply. Within minutes, a team of nurses emerged, pushing a stretcher on which they tran
Sebastian and Brayden, lounging by the pool, were taken aback when they saw a familiar face passing by the entrance. Curious, they fixed their eyes on the entryway to see what was going on. With bated breath, they heard slow, quiet footsteps approaching. Their jaws dropped as they realized it was Leander. Spooked by his presence, Sebastian turned to Brayden and asked urgently, "I thought Leander was expelled. What is he doing here?” "This guy is crazy. He still thinks he can do whatever he likes after being expelled. I'm sure he doesn’t know he’s playing with fire," Brayden said with a nod. Leander, standing a few meters away, pretended to look elsewhere while eavesdropping on their discussion. With a stern face, Leander confronted them. “Who is playing with fire? Why are you both biased?” he demanded boldly. “Rex initiated my expulsion and ruined my career. Don’t tell me you weren’t aware of the attack on me when I went to deliver a food order!” Sebastian lost his temper u
Leander finally went to meet Camila, who had been waiting for him. He saw the frustration in her eyes. With concern on his face, he asked softly, “Am I late?” Letting out a nervous sigh and a deep smirk, Camila said, her lips pursed in dissatisfaction, “You knew you were late. Ahh, I’ve been here for the past thirty minutes” “My apologies. I don't have a watch or a phone, which is why I was late,” Leander muttered, a warm look in his eyes. However, he was still skeptical. Was this truly the same Camila who had insulted him for being poor and chosen a rich campus playboy over him? The one who had called him a loser? Memories flooded Leander’s mind, causing him pain and filling him with anger. Despite feeling humiliated and on a suicide mission, he ultimately chose to hear what Camila had to say after reflecting on it. “Oh… no problem. Honestly, I don't dispute that,” Camila responded, her voice trailing off with confidence. She raised her head, searching for the right words. “Ca
Deep in thought, Leander was puzzled over Camila's words, questioning if there might be a hidden motive behind her sudden visit. Could she simply be probing for details about his wealth for Rex, or was there more to it? “This is ridiculous!” Leander thought to himself. *** Leander, smirking, joined his father for dinner. Entering the dining room, his eyes darted around, taking in the opulent surroundings. Soft light bathed the golden candlesticks and tableware in a warm glow, and the chandelier sparkled like stars above. The mahogany dining table, adorned with intricate gold filigree, commanded attention. Leander sank into the plush gold-upholstered chair, eager for the meal ahead. The table beckoned with trays of succulent turkey, its aroma mingling with fresh herbs and creamy mashed potatoes. Crusty artisan breads, soft rolls, and vibrant salads created a feast for the eyes. Dessert options ranged from rich chocolate tortes to delicate fruit tarts, catering to all tastes. Cry
The long-awaited wedding day of Daxton and Sophia had finally arrived. Excitement buzzed in the air as guests flooded the venue. From the lavish decorations to the impeccable service, every aspect of the event displayed opulence. In fact, the Goldstein family had spared no effort to create a celebration reflecting their power and status.Royal guards, in crisp formal uniforms adorned with badges and insignias, stood like statues throughout the hall. Delegates from King Alexander IV, the ruler of the kingdom, were accompanied by escorts, enhancing the event's formidable aura. The unease and anticipation in the regal chamber were palpable. Surrounded by the grand party, Leander’s eyes roamed the elegantly decorated hall. The memory of his parents' impending marriage brought back the same disbelief he had felt before. "Could it really be true?" he muttered, shaking his head. There was no denying it now; his parents were uniting.Leander walked confidently towards the stage where a popul
The air remained tense as Rex stood firm on his words. But then, the royal guards loomed nearby, a silent threat palpable. However, Leander remained unfazed and showed no sign of readiness for submission. Rex's ultimate desire was for Leander to kneel before him, no matter what it took. "You can never be a leader because you don't even know the responsibility it carries. Why should I kneel for no reason?" Leander's frustration bubbled over, his words flowing like a rapid stream. The onlookers gasped at his confidence. And suddenly, a young lady shot up from her seat, her eyes ablaze with impatience. Instead of putting an end to the clash, she fueled the rift: "Rex, can't you hear the disrespect in his tone? This man should be held accountable for his words." Rex sighed softly, noticing the displeasure clouding the woman's face. With unwavering composure, he spoke, “I know what I’m doing. Don't worry; I will surely show him the consequences of his actions.” Rex's smirk deepened
"Dammit! They've frozen my bank account," Leander exclaimed, his fists clenched in frustration. "Is it really that serious? Why would they freeze your account if you weren't involved?" Sophia's eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Uh, we need a lawyer to fight this," she suggested, a deep concern creeping into her voice. She pushed her hair back and reached for her phone, fingers trembling slightly. As she dialed the lawyer's number, doubt gnawed at her. Could Leander be capable of such a crime? Were there secrets he was hiding? "Leander, you need to prove to me you're not tied up in this fraud mess. Just hiring a lawyer won't cut it if there is more behind the scene." Doubt and worry filled the room as Sophia laid down her terms. At her words, Leander felt a chill run down his back. Clearing his throat nervously, he started, "I understand how hard it is for you to trust me right now but I've come clean. Rex and his group singled me out, assuming my poor lifestyle would make me an eas
However, Leander took his eyes off him nervously and still couldn't process what he was trying to figure out. Rather than struggling, he maintained his composure. Moving closer to the Rolls-Royces, Leander stood just a breath away from two striking models: the classic Phantom and the exclusive $420,000 Ghost Prism, a limited edition celebrating Rolls-Royce's 120th anniversary. Running his hand over the glossy exterior, he was captivated by its elegance. "Which of these cars catches your eye, master? The Ghost Prism seems to have drawn your attention," Jeeves, specific, requested as he noticed that Leander doesn't look ready to select. "Mm-hmm, yeah... The Ghost Prism," Leander rushed his words, his gaze examining other cars nearby. Ambling forward hastily, he circled the custom-made Rolls-Royce, scrutinizing every inch. Letting out a breath of relief, he asked eagerly, "Where's the key fob for this car?” Jeeves sucked in a sharp breath and shot Leander a quizzical look. Disr
