“Babe, faster. I’m coming!”

“Me too. Ugh!”

Charles listened carefully and heard a sad sound coming from Isabella’s room.

He had just returned from a night shift as a bodyguard and intended to surprise Isabella by bringing breakfast to his girlfriend. But it was not Isabella who was surprised, but he was after hearing the sound of male and female sighs from inside his girlfriend's room.

“Whose sigh is that? Is Isabella making out with another man in her room? No, no way. Isabella only loves me, and she can’t be cheating on me.” Charles said while planting positive thoughts into his brain.

“Isabella, open the door, Darling.” Charles knocked on the door of the room where his girlfriend lived.

Isabella and Charles didn’t live in the same house. Isabella rented a house and gave Charles a key so he could come in. Charles lived in a room near where he works.

When Charles knocked on the door, the sound of someone sighing stopped. This made Charles feel like something was wrong, so he knocked on the door even harder.

“Isabel! Darling! Open the door. Who are you within there? Isabel! Answer me!“

No one answered, but he heard the sound of someone quickly getting dressed.

"Isabel! Isabel!"

Charles knocked on his girlfriend’s door, but nobody answered. He got worried and broke the door to go inside. He saw another man in the room, and Isabella was trying to cover herself with a blanket.

“What the hell? Isabel! Are you cheating on me?” Charles looked sadly. He didn't even think that Isabella would do something to hurt their relationship.

Charles and Isabella have been together for two years. Charles didn’t think Isabella would cheat on him.

“Oh, you? I think I don't need to hide anything from you anymore. I was hoping you could meet my new boyfriend, Deon. We've been together for three months now.” Isabella went to Deon and gave him a big hug while Charles was watching.

“Stop holding that man's hand, Isabel! You are my girlfriend! Don't act like a bitch. I know you're not that kind of slut, my love. Come back to me.” Charles was trying to fix things with his girlfriend, but she didn't want to work it out.

"Let's just break up. I don't want to have a poor boyfriend like you." Isabella insulted.

"Wh-what? But why only now? We've been together for two years, and you're just protesting now? I know; this jerk must have instigated you, right? He must have asked you to break up the two of us, right? "

Isabella chuckled and made a facial expression to tease or make fun of Charles. "I am unhappy in our relationship because you can't buy me fancy things like Deon can. It's been two years, and I feel upset about it."

“No! You’ve got to be kidding, right, honey?” Charles shook his head several times, still not believing what was happening.

“Just accept it, Bro. You don’t deserve to date Isabella anyway. She’s beautiful and sexy, and you? Poor, shabby, penniless! Loser!” Deon laughed at Charles, his hands hugging Isabella’s waist to confront the man.

“Fuck you both!” Charles was angry. He picked up the pitcher of water on the table and doused them both with it.

“You two bastards, you cheaters! Aren’t you ashamed to admit that you cheated on me?” Charles shouted angrily.

“Hahaha. Embarrassed? What is there to be ashamed of, Charles? Men like you should be abandoned; you’re poor and have no future. I’d rather be with Deon, who has a clear future, than you.”

Charles wiped his eyes that felt wet. Today was the day he wanted to take Isabella into a more serious relationship. Charles wanted to propose to Isabella but saw his girlfriend cheating and sleeping with another man instead.

“Do you not love me even a little bit anymore?”

"No. A poor man like you doesn't deserve to be loved. I'll take the water you splashed on me to apologize for cheating. So, we are even." Isabella spoke in a way that clarified that Charles was unimportant to her.

“Isabel, please. Don’t be like this. Stay away from that man, and I will try to forget your mistake today.” Charles begged and said he still loved his girlfriend very much and didn't want to end their relationship suddenly.

“Besides being poor, it turns out that your ears are deaf too. Isabella has kicked you out, so get out of here,”

"Shut up! As a man, you have no self-respect at all. Is there, not a single woman who likes you, so you took someone else's girlfriend? Huh?"

Deon got mad when Charles made fun of him. He let go of Isabella and punched Charles in the face. Charles got pushed hard and fell. His cheek and his lip were bleeding.

“Feel that. Don’t be an ignorant person. Isabella already dislikes you and wants to break up. Get out of this room before I kill you right now.” Deon threatened Charles while pointing at his face several times.

“No! I’m sure Isabella is like this because of your incitement, right? What an asshole! Bastard!”

Charles got up, then he hit Deon back. They fought, hitting each other until Isabella shouted to stop them both.

“Stop! I don’t want you making a mess in this house. Charles, we’re breaking up. Get out of my house right now!” Isabella snapped at her boyfriend.

“No, I’m not. I don’t want to break up.”

“I don’t want to date you anymore, Charles. I don’t want to have a poor boyfriend. I want a boyfriend who can buy me many expensive things, and only Deon can fulfill my wish!”

Isabella walked to the bedside, opened her desk drawer, and took out a ring box.

“You see? Deon can buy me this, while you? You’ve never bought me anything expensive in our two years of dating. I can’t stand dating a guy who can only ask me to wait.”

Isabella acted very proud and showed a pretty box with a sparkly diamond ring. The ring was very nice and looked like it was expensive.

“I’m not unwilling to buy you expensive things, Isabel. I’m trying! I work hard every day for more than 12 hours a day to raise money so I can buy you branded items. I’m working hard for you! Just a little while longer. Just wait a little longer. You don’t have to cheat on me like this, Isabel.” Charles looked at his girlfriend sadly.

“I don’t care. Now that I’m dating Deon, he’s a rich man. He has a diamond and real estate business. I don’t want to live a hard life with you. So, leave my house right now before Deon kills you off!” Charles was moving his head from side to side because he wanted Isabella to stay with him and not leave.

“No! I don’t!”

“Heh, you deaf bastard! Get out of here!” Deon pulled Charles’ body out of the room and pushed him roughly.

“Get out!”

"No! I don't want to break up with Isabella! You should stay away from Isabella, not me!" Charles looked at Deon with a furious and intense stare.

“What can you do, huh? You’re poor and have no power. Your body is also thin. One punch, and you’ll die at my hands! So leave quickly before my patience runs out.” Deon gave a warning, but Charles still didn’t want to leave.

“I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving here!” Charles tried to return to the house, but Deon blocked his body.

Charles fell again after Deon hit his face repeatedly. This time Deon didn’t give Charles a chance to fight back. His face was battered, and his nose and mouth were bleeding.

“Feel it, coward! Die! Die!”

    Charles tried to wake up, but his head hurt when he touched it.“Ugh! It hurts!” Charles grimaced in pain. “Where am I? Why am I in this place?” Charles saw a room that was painted bright blue and had some basic furniture in it.“Hey, are you awake?” A person entered the room with a bowl with smoke coming out of it.“Daniel, where is this? Why are you in this place too?” Charles asked in surprise. “This is my room. Isabella called me and asked me to pick you up in front of her house. but when I got there, you were hurt and passed out.” Daniel talked a lot about it.“What exactly is going on, Charl?” asked Daniel. Charles remembered breaking up with Isabel, which made him sad because he didn’t want to end their relationship.“You don’t need to cry over a cheap woman like Isabella, Charles. You should be grateful that you don’t have to be trapped in a marriage with a gold digger.” Daniel gave advice.He gave Charles a bowl of breakfast mush and told him to eat it right away.“Eat up.

    “T-this is 100 million dollars? You’re suddenly rich, Charles!” Daniel yelled loudly and shook his friend's shoulder a bunch of times because he wanted to show that he wasn't just imagining things.“That’s right; it’s not a dream! I’m rich, Daniel! I’m rich!”Charles felt happy when he looked at Daniel. He never thought he would have so much money because he only worked part-time as a bodyguard at a fancy hotel. His salary was lower than his friends because he only worked part-time.After working part-time at night, he usually went back to work during the day as a bodyguard somewhere else. But he didn’t become a bodyguard in a good place; Charles was only in charge of guarding a school with very little salary.“I’m so glad you finally have some money, Charles. You no longer need to live in this cramped boarding room, nor do you need to prostrate in front of Isabel. You are rich now, Charles. You also have a bright future.” Daniel cheered happily. “Yes, I will prove that I also have a

So, keep your word like a real man.” When Charles said something to Robby, Robby's face turned red, and he felt embarrassed for disagreeing with Charles.Robby was very surprised when Charles gave him 10 thousand dollars as a tip. It was a lot of money, even more than what Charles used to earn when he worked at the hotel."H-how? How can you give me this much tip money? You're joking, right." Robby was looking back and forth at his phone screen and then at Charles' feet.He felt scared and nervous. He didn’t want to lick Charles’ shoes because it would make him feel bad about himself. But he promised to do it, so now he has to face the consequences.“Come on, lick my shoes. Keep your promise, Robby.” "No! I don't want to!

    “I don’t care! Whoever he is, get him out of this hotel! I don’t want to share a room with a poor person like him!” Deon got mad and yelled at the hotel manager. His face turned red with anger.“I can’t possibly expel Mr. Charles from here. I could get fired from this hotel!” “Who is he?” asked Isabella curiously. “That’s it; let’s not talk about it anymore. I just want him thrown out of here, Manager. Remember, I’m a VIP customer of this hotel. Don’t anger me, or this hotel will suffer the consequences!” Deon threatened the hotel manager. “No! I will not kick him out!” The manager talked to Charles, who was standing on his chair. The manager apologized for being mean and asked Charles to sit and eat his food. “Manager! Why don’t you obey my orders? I reiterate, expel that man and his friend from this hotel!” Deon was angry; he didn’t accept being ignored. "I'm sorry, Mr. Charles. Forgive me for asking you to leave this hotel. Had I known your grandfather was Mr. Michael, I can g

    "Charles, are you sure you want to go to class today? What if Deon and Isabella bother you on campus?" Daniel looked at Charles with a worried look. He didn't want his best friend to get into trouble again with the two lovebirds. Daniel, Charles, Isabella, and Deon are studying at the same place. However, after the college break ended, Charles and Daniel only learned about it today. This year the four of them gathered in the same class, which was the beginning of trouble for Daniel. "So what? I don't have a problem with either of them." "No problem? Are you kidding me? Your problems are bigger than my head!" Daniel gave Charles an annoyed look."I do have personal problems with them, but on campus? We don't have any problems, right? I think Deon is a smart guy who wouldn't mix personal problems with education, right?" "Huft, whatever you say. I hope what you said is true." ***Daniel's hopes were not realized after Charles entered the campus area. How could he not? Just as Charle

    "Mr. Samuel! I didn't think you could treat someone this badly. You're the head of the university; you should have checked the details first before calling the police. What if the allegations aren't true? You'll definitely be embarrassed!" Daniel, who had been silent and watching, couldn't hold back. He couldn't accept that his best friend was imprisoned because of Deon's accusations. He knew that Deon must have just made it up about the theft of the money. "Euna is in the same group as Deon, Sir. It must have been Deon who asked Euna to slander Charles!""Heh, do you think I'm so low that I have to slander a poor person like him? Other than him, who else can steal in our class? Only him! He's the only poor person who got into this university. As for the others? Their parents are businessmen! There can't be anyone else stealing that money besides him!" Deon pointed at Charles' face, his breath ragged and his eyes bulging. "You're too much, Deon! I don't want to fight with you anymo

    "Is that true, Charles? You stole someone else's gold card?" The university president asked. "No, Sir. I never stole anyone else's card. That card is my own, Sir!" Charles argued. The university president stared at Deon, asking him to explain what happened and why he dared to enter the president's room without knocking. "Deon! Explain! Don't let all this be just your tricks!" "I'm sure that he stole someone else's wallet while working at the hotel, Sir! He works as a bodyguard there, and I'm sure he must have stolen it while working. Otherwise, how could he have the card? Besides, he also had dinner at a 7-star hotel yesterday. How could he pay for the bill if he didn't steal it?" Deon explained at length. "Charles, show me the card you have." "Here, Mr. Samuel." The university president, Samuel, received a gold card from Charles. He looked at each side of the card; he scrutinized whether the card was indeed Charles' or not. Just for information, gold cards cannot be owned by

    Deon fell silent after being yelled at by Tony. In all his life, he had never been treated like this by the police. Every time he made trouble or reported to the police, the policemen would immediately arrest his opponent. It was all thanks to his father's power and big name. But now, why don't these policemen dare to arrest Charles? What kind of power and strength protected this man so that he could make others afraid?"Tsk, are you guys police or not? Why are you kneeling down and apologizing to a poor guy like him?" Deon sneered. Tony looked sharply at Deon because he felt humiliated. "Watch what you say, Deon. I still see my friendship with your father. If not, then I'll put you in jail." "You bastard cop. Just being a public servant can threaten others." Deon whispered in his heart. There was no way he could say his heart out loud. He didn't want to stay in jail even for just one day. If he went to jail for offending the officials, his reputation would be damaged, and he would

Charles immediately ran to his grandfather's room followed by everyone who was gathered earlier. Charles headed for his grandfather's room after hearing a loud noise. This was followed by Isabella. When he opened the door, Charles was very surprised to see Elizabeth in his grandfather's room which was already unlocked. "Elizabeth, what are you doing here?"

I just want to make you happy."Michael, who felt that Isabella was very attentive, did not have the slightest suspicion. He thought that Isabella was craving for affection because she had no one but him. "Yes. Make me some orange juice. It seems that drinking fresh juice like that, can make my day more colorful."

She was even happy because she didn't have to deal with Sebastian often.Unfortunately, because he was too busy, Sebastian didn't know that Elizabeth was secretly meeting with someone. That person was planning something on Sebastian, with Elizabeth as his ally."I was hoping you would be on my side. Are you willing?" the figure asked Elizabeth.Elizabeth flinched. Really, she did not expect to be in this position."Of course I'm willing. I will side with you," Elizabeth said with a smile. In her eyes, she immediately imagined how Sebastian's life would be.***That week, Sebastian deliberately did not take care of his organization.

    "Nooo!"Michael exclaimed and instantly opened his eyes.It was the same dream all over again. Michael sat up with a sweaty forehead. His eyes were glued to his blanket-covered feet. The dream seemed real, as he was on the edge of a cliff and someone was pushing him from behind."What a horrible dream," Michael whispered to himself.He vividly remembered how his body turned as he plunged and he saw the grin on the face of the person who pushed him. He couldn't see the face at all, as the sunlight refracted behind his body. But he knew it was the grin of someone who wanted to harm him."This is all a dream. Yes, it's just a dream."Michael tried to calm himself down. Honestly, dreams were like a scourge that haunted him lately.They say dreams are the flower of sleep. But is that really the case? What if we keep dreaming about it? Couldn't dreams be the clues that the subconscious gives to our lives?That's what made Michael depressed. Yes, the dream made the old man think about it all

    Sebastian let out a short breath. He lit the end of his cigarette using the lighter, then took a deep drag, just to relax his frantic mind.There was one thing Sebastian was thinking about at the moment, and that was Ken's death. For some reason he felt something was off, but he didn't know exactly what it was. What was clear was that Ken's death made him feel uncomfortable, as if there was something he had missed."I think that's enough for me. I don't want to interfere in the Duke family's life anymore. Let them have their life, I have mine. There's no point in meddling in other people's family affairs anyway."Sebastian gave a small nod. Yes, it was better that way. He would focus on taking care of his organization. He would also live happily with Elizabeth. Sebastian thought that was probably what Elizabeth wanted from him as well.Honestly, Sebastian wanted to build a happy life with Elizabeth. He wanted her to be completely separated from the Duke's family. That's why he wanted

    "Has Ken's death been confirmed?" Charles asked for confirmation.Elizabeth nodded. "Of course. The man is lifeless. There's no way he can live again. Don't you take my word for it? Do I look like someone who likes to spread fake news? Besides, didn't you see for yourself that the man was dead?" Elizabeth was a little offended that Charles didn't seem to believe her words."It's not like that. I just didn't expect him to die this easily.""What is clear is that he is already dead.""Alright. I'll tell Grandpa the news. It's good news to me. Ken deserved to die."Charles went to see Michael, his grandfather. The old man was relaxing in the den smoking a cigar.
