2025-04-15 05:20:55Ryan looked at his son. He was not expecting something like this from him? He was going to go back? There was no way that he was going to let him go back. It would mean that all of the plans that he had were going to come crashing. He did not want that to happen. He had planned so much for this. After spending two years abroad Nelson was really starting to get impulsive after spending two years abroad. . He would never say this to him before. He knew that he too had to toughen up and give him a warning.
"You want to leave? All right. . . go I won't try to stop you. I won't try to stop you from leaving this place but know that immediately you step out of this house. . . you are no longer my son! You should no longer expect anything from me if you decide to leave this place" Ryan warned. Actually he was playing a gamble. What if he got even more impulsive and decided that he was going to leave? He threatened him with disowning but what if he really left? What will happen then? He did not want to think about it. He just knew that he had to get this son to stay.
Nelson looked at his father. He was shocked when he heard that he was going to disown him. For a second he thought that he should just let him do whatever he want. . he did not want to go back to that school and have to see those people ever again. But then he thought about it again. What is he going to do if his father really let's go of him? He knew that the man could be really scary at times! If he left. . h won't even be able to get out of the country!.
Nelson looked at his father. "Dad am I really your son? How can you say that you are going to disown me just like that? Just because I said that I am not going to go-to some school? Dad. . . . how can you even do this to me? Is that why you asked me to come back?! Am I really just a tool for you?!" Nelson asked. This was the reality of the MK group's owner that everyone was jealous of. This was the reality of the son of MK group that everyone wanted to get close to. The reality was that. . . he was only a pawn for his father.
Rita looked from her husband to her son. Even though she was not his birth mother. . . she knew. . just how much this kid that suffered. He has been through so much for his age. She knew. . . why he did not want to go back to that school. He was pretty sure that his father knew too. . but he just decided not to care about his feelings. She looked at him pitifully. . . other people might be envious but she knew. . . . just how much he was going through. Did he really have to suffer so much?
However, Rita knew that she could not take Nelson's side. No matter what happened anyway Nelson was going to end up doing whatever his father wanted. All that she could do right now was to try and ease the tension between them. That was the safest bet. "Do the both of you really have to go this far? Do you really have to talk to each other when you are in such a bad mood? You should have this conversation tomorrow. Then you won't be so agitated" Rita said. Deep down. . . she knew that she was only trying to prolong it. It was still going to come down to arguing.
"What do you mean by leave him alone till tommorow? Heavens know what he is going to do if we let him be till that time! No I'm not going to do that. This is the reason why I asked him to come back home! He is my son! He is the one who is supposed to take over MK group. What do you think people are going to say if my son refuses to attend Viants High?! How is it going to look like? We have to make him go to that school!"
Ryan felt that his wife was doting on Nelson too much. Sometimes he got jealous of her. . no matter how much he tried. . he never had a good relationship with his son. It always ended with them fighting with each other. But his wife. . . since the day that she came home with him. . . Nelson loved her immediately. Maybe it was because he had always been missing his mother? He did not know. Ryan sighed. Maybe it was a good thing that his wife was close to him. At least one of them had a good relationship with their son.
Nelson looked at his father. The more he heard the man talking the more he thought that there was something fishy going on. He felt that there was something else to him attending Viants High. It was just not about the school or putting on a good show for other people. He knew that his father was a sly man. He was always thinking of plots. . . Nelson was afraid that he was about to be part of a much bigger plot. Something came into his mind. His father had done something like this before in the past. Was he trying to do that again?
"Dad. . . what really of going on? I know that this is not just about me going to Viants High. I have been out of the country for two years now and you were not worried about what people would think if i do not go to Viants High. I can just continue my school abroad and graduate college! Why do I have to come back? I know that you are planning something dad. What really are you planning? What do you want to do?" Nelson asked. He did not want to accept it but somehow his guys were telling him that it had something to do with Raechel. His father did not give up that stupid and crazy idea after two years?!
Ryan looked at his son. He did not know what to say. Could it be that he already figured out what he was going to do? But how did he know that? Ryan shook his head. It did not matter how he came to know of it. . if he already knew what was going to happen then it was fine. It was even better for him. It meant that he won't waste time trying to explain to him again what he wanted to know. Two years ago. . . he pretended as if he forget about it because he just wanted Nelson to forget about what happened and open a new chapter of his life that had nothing to do with that woman Vanessa. . . after two years. . . he was sure that Nelson doesn't even think about it anymore. . . so it was safe to bring up the topic right?
"You are quite smart. You've gotten smarter I see. You were able to figure it out. Actually you coming back. . it's not just about Viants High. You remember that your childhood friend Raechel is at Viants High right? Be nice to her when you meet her at school again. The both of you are going to get engaged" Ryan said with a smile on his face. He was really happy about it.
Raechel was having dinner with her her mother. No matter how arrogant she was. . . when she was in front of her mother. . . she was as harmless as a dove. For someone who was observing from a distance. . it seemed as Raechel was scared of her mother. Well she really can't be blamed. Esther. . . she really was a scary woman. She was someone who could burn a hole in you with her stare
Raechel's step father Philip was at the table too. But he knew better than to give his opinion when this mother daughter pair was involved. Esther was a really scary woman and it seemed as if she passed those traits to her daughter. She was only an eighteen years old teenager but an adult like him could never guess what was really going on in her mind. The result. . . he tried as much as possible to keep out of her way. Nothing good was going to come out of it anyway if he offended her. He just had to whatch his steps until she left for school.
Esther looked at her daughter. She had spent a lot of time and effort on the girl. When she divorced her father 10 years ago she could have just left her with her father and focus on building her company but she realized that this girl was going to be very useful to her in the future. The things that she could not do. . . the things that she could not achieve. . . she was going to use her daughter and make sure that she got them. Yes. . . the woman was this selfish. She did not mind using her daughter at all.
"Raechel. . . . " Esther called. The latter stopped eating and looked up at her immediately. Esther liked that. It meant that she had the girl under her control. "I think that you might have already heard that Nelson is back from abroad. And that he is going to start attending Viants High when school reopens again. You know what you have to do right?. You have to make sure that you get his heart. That way. . . you will be in full control of the company. Your cousins. . . no one will be able to challenge you when you take over the company!" Esther said.
Her family was actually quite complicated. When she divorced her husband she hired a team of lawyers and made sure that she got a good amount of his wealth. In the end. . . she was able to get a lot of money and a subsidiary of his company. She was able to get a fashion company. It was not quite big anyway and so his brothers did not mind when she took it. But then with the money that she got from them in less that a year she was able to make the small fashion company into a really big one. Suddenly. . . they wanted the company back. They even tried to threaten her by saying that they will take custody of Raechel but she did not care. She held on to the company. Even though she was still in control. . . she knew that the war was never going to end. They could not fight against her now but what about when Raechel took the company? They had children. . . they were certainly going to bother her daughter and take away all of her hard work. She knew that she had to be prepared. To make sure that they won't ever try to get that company back she knew that she had to have the backing of a big company. And that company was MK group. . she already talked with Ryan and decided that Raechel and Nelson were going to get engaged now and get married in the future. . . for the sake of their companies. For some reason. . . Ryan seemed to need her company. But for Esther. . . a promise of marriage was not good enough. Raechel needed to get Nelson to fall in love with her. She had seen Nelson a few times and she knew. . . that he was a really emotional person. Once he fell in love with someone. . . he would do anything for that person. Once Raechel gets him to fall for her. . . their influence would have no limit. She would finally be able to trample on that family that tried to take her company!
Raechel sighed. She knew exactly what her mother was talking about. She had to get Nelson to fall in love with her. He was already back and she knew that she had to do it now. It was what she had always wanted. . . she had been preparing for some time now. . . two years now to be exact. . but now that she was going to do it. . . was that indecisiveness she was feeling? For someone reason. . . she thought of Mike. . . .

Raechel looked at her mother. She knew that she could not go against her. She had to do whatever she wanted her to do. "Of course mom. . . I know what I am supposed to do. I have to get Nelson to fall in love with me. Don't worry mom. . . it's something that I can do easily" She told her mother. She already made up her mind two years ago. The one that she needed was Nelson. She had to love him. . . that was the only way that she was going to survive. So she had to be in love with him. And she was going to make sure that she gets Nelson to fall in love with her.Esther looked at her daughter. Even though she said that she was going to do it she could sense that there was some kind of hesitation in her voice. Why will she be hesitating? She suddenly thought of something. Two years ago. . . she and that boy Mike had been really close. It could not be that it was because of him right? "Raechel. . . you know what you have to do right? You must not get distracted.

Nelson looked at his brother. He knew that he was not joking around. He really could make his life hell. their parents. . no. . . their father and his mother. . . the both of them doted on him. He could do anything and get away with it. And his parents tended to believe him whatever he said. He could do nothing against him. Maybe it was because Lander was the legitimate son and he was the illegitimate child? He remembered what Lander had said to him one day. The only way that an illegitimate child could survive in a family like this was by not knowing anything. He should not do anything. . . he should not know anything. . . that was the only way that he was going to survive.Sometimes Nelson really wanted to hate his mother for abandoning him in this family.

Bella and Margaret were standing in front of the school right now. Bella looked at the school. It really was big. Her mother already completed the admission process online and there was no need for her to be here. But maybe because she was missing her daughter for some reason, she came all the way here and was standing with her.

Nelson was standing in the hallway surrounded by most of the students in the school. This is what he wanted. A grand entry. Since he came here against his will, he should at least make the most of it by causing trouble for everyone right? Since they won't let go of him they were all just going to have to deal with the pain together. For some reason, Nelson found himself searching for Mike in the crowd. Was it nostalgia for their lost friendship? He did not know.However, instead of Mike, a person that he never wanted to see again showed up in front of him. Rachel!She pushed through the crowd and stood in front of him. "Nelson! I'm so happy that you are back!" Rachel said. Her tone sounded so friendly, the students could guess for themselves what their relationship is.Nelson looked at her with an indifferent gaze. In front of everyone he asked. "Do I know you?"The entire school gasped in shock. Nelson just said that he does not know Rachel? It was obvious that he was doing it to hum

Lily and Cynthia looked at each other before they decided. Even if they did not help her she would still find it on her own. Then, won't their relationship with her be awkward? They still did not know who she is, just that she caused quite a scene with her entrance. Lily was the one that spoke up. "If that's the case then you can come with us. We are also in Dorm A. Infact I think that we are going to be roommates from now on. It's nice to meet you. I'm Lily Blair. And she's Cynthia Thompson. What about you?" Lily did the introductions.Bella sighed in relief. At least one good thing has happened to her since she stepped her foot into this school! She actually met her roommates and from the looks of it the both of them were nice enough. Bella had always been good at making friends so she immediately flashed her best killer smile. "Of course it's nice to meet you too. I'm Bella Anderson. I'm new here and I have to admit I don't know a thing about this school. I hope that we can get alo

Bella looked around the room she has to admit that it was great. Most schools won't have such a room for students. But thinking about the money that her mother had payed for the school, she calmed down. At least it was worth it. Bella knew that those two girls, Lily and Cynthia were looking at her. She was going to ignore it but she could not do it any longer. She turned to look at the both of them if they have something to say to her they should just say it. Why beat around the bush? "Do the both of you have something to say to me? Why do you keep looking at me?" Bella asked.Lily and Cynthia were startled. They did not think that she was going to be so straightforward. But they could not be blamed. Bella had yelled at Rachel in front of everyone just now, and she even seemed like she knew Nelson and Mike, of course everyone was interested in her. She is a new student, how does she know them. "Hey Bella, you probably don't know right? The entire school is talking about you!" Lily tol

Cynthia, Lily and Bella were getting ready to go to class. Bella looked at the uniform. She only needed to take one look to see that it must be really expensive. How can someone use something like this for uniform? She was really starting to wonder why her mother sent her to this school. What does she really want her to do in a place like this?"Bella, what are you thinking about? Let's get going" Lily said.Bella turned to look at her. She had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask her. Like what was her relationship with that Nelson. But when she tried to bring it up yesterday, she could see that Lily did not want to tell her about it. She said there was nothing but Bella knew that there was something going on.Bella just decided to let it rest. After all, there are some things that people want to keep to their self. She would not try to intrude on other people's privacy."Alright. Let's get going then" Bella. She really wanted to see what Viants High classes were like. A school

"It's because I wanted to eat with you" he said.Lily blinked her eyes. What is he talking about? She is talking about what he did to Bella and he is trying to change the topic? "What nonsense are you talking about? You. . . you should not have done that to Bella! What if she gets in trouble because of you?!" Lily asked. She was trying hard to change the topic but Nelson was not buying it."I did it because I wanted to eat you. You won't even look at me. I felt like that the only way to get you at least look at me was to target her. See it worked! We had a meal together and you even held my hand!" Nelson said. You could tell that he was very happy.Lily felt like facepalming herself. How can he be so happy? His brother is here and he is already causing problems for him, isn't he worried at all? How can he make jokes right now?"How can you still be in the mood to joke around? Your brother is here, aren't you worried at all about what he is going to do to you?" Lily asked. She was so s

A student said, "Hey isn't that Lily? I heard that her father lost his company to his younger brother!"Another student chipped in, "A fallen princess and an illegitimate son, aren't they the perfect match?"Nelson turned to look at Lily. He knew that she was hurt by the words that those people said. No matter what, no one liked to have their private matters talked about in public like this like it was nothing. It really must be a lot for her. After all, not everyone is able to live without caring like him. But still, she did not let go of him. She was still holding on to his hand."Let's go I said" Lily said. She decided that she had had enough. She did not want to continue to listen to this.Cynthia got up and looked at Lily. Lily was her friend. She did not want her to get herself in trouble. Wasn't she the one telling Bella yesterday to just ignore everyone and not get in trouble yesterday? How is that she is doing the same thing for Nelson? Besides, didn't she already saw that it

Mike sighed. Since she already heard, he can't just brush her off right? "Well, what do you want to know? Rachel and I. . we. . " Mike was still talking when she cut him off."No, I don't want to hear it!" She said.Mike looked at her. He was trying to figure out what she was thinking but all that he could see was her innocent face smiling at him. What did shs mean? She just heard what Rachel said, is she saying that she is not curious at all? That she doesn't want to know at all?"What do you mean? Are you not curious?" Mike asked.Bella shook her head. It's not that she wasn't curious. She really wanted to know what the both of them were talking about. Does he really love her as he said? But just looking at him like this, she could already see that he was in a lot of pain. Because of her own selfishness, she did not want to make things hard for him."I really don't want to know. It has nothing to do with me anyway. It's your own personal business. Besides, I really don't like gettin

Rachel was on her way to the cafeteria when she saw someone walking towards her. She thought that Mike was going to stop or at least give her a side way glance, but he did not do that. He just kept walking on like he did not see her at all. There was no way that she could put up with this indifference. How can he treat her like this? How can he treat her like she doesn't exist at all? She really wanted to know the answers. Just where did it all go wrong? They used to be good friends, the three of them used to have a good relationship, but now Nelson really hates her and Mike won't even look at her face. Just what did she do wrong?.Perhaps Rachel already knew the answer but she did not want to accept it. She did not want to accept that she had done something wrong. She was under pressure too! There was nothing that she could do too! If the both of them were hurting, does it mean that she too wasn't hurting? Instead of being this way to her, why don't they consider the fact that she ha

Mike looked at him. "If you are that curious, you should go meet her. I'm sure she will be happy to see you" Mike said.The next day, during the lunch break, Nelson was on his way to the cafeteria when someone walked up to him and stood in front of him. Nelson was not surprised. He wasn't happy to see him but he wasn't supprised either. He came to Viants High in the end after all. There is no way that Lander will let him be. He and his mother, Nelson knew that the both of them were planning something seeing how happy they were for him to come here. But no matter what they wanted, Nelson did not want to be a part of it. He just wanted to be left alone.Unfortunately however, no matter how much he told them that he just wanted to be left alone, they did not seem to believe him at all. They all thought that he was lying and that he is actually trying to take the company away from them. Between these two paranoid people, Nelson barely had any space to breath. At least before, he could esc

Mike walked away from the room. He did not know where to go. He just knew that he wanted to be away from that Nelson. Why the hell did he have to come back to this place? Why the hell does he have to come back to this damn annoying place and annoy him? It's already been two years. He did not have to come back! He should have stayed abroad. If he had said that he is not going to come back, he should have done as he said and stayed abroad. Why did he have to come back. That woman, Vanessa, she probably knows that he is here.That is the reason why she had been trying extra hard to get close to him when he got back from school! What a joke! Does she really think that she is going to do anything for him concerning Nelson? What a joke! Everything was just so messed up! Nelson should not have come back, then everyone lives would have been easier. But deep down, Mike knew that there was nothing that Nelson could do about it. If his father says to come back, then he has to come back. He won't

Nelson looked at Nelson. He really did not understand this kid. Other people when looking at him might just see a clueless kid who only knows how to cause trouble but he could not help thinking that there is something about that smile. As someone living under pressure himself, he felt that there is more to this kid. But he did not care about it much. "I already thanked you. What else do you want? For me to pay you? I don't think that you are that poor" Nelson said.Nelson almost choked! What is Nelson thinking? Does he realize that he is talking to his helper right now? "Hey, do you know how much trouble i got into for helping you that day?" Nelson asked. He had still not forgotten what his brother and step mother did to him. Because he helped Nelson get away from those people that day, Lander is coming to this school. He knew that his step mother used that mistake to get her son to come to this school so that the both of them could whatch her. If this continued, Nelson was sure that

Cynthia suddenly had an idea. "Hey Bella. Why don't you take you on a tour of Viants High? This school is really big and it's quite easy to get lost and lose your way" Cynthia said. Maybe if they showed Bella around this school and told her how Viants High works, she would know what to say and how to act so that they won't be getting in trouble. For some reason, Cynthia seemed to really like this girl. She did not want her to get in trouble with Nelson or Bella.Bella looked at the both of them in gratitude. "really, you guys are going to do that for me?" Bella asked. She remembered how she went into that boy's room and she shuddered. She definitely did not want to experience something like that ever again. This school is really big and it's quite easy to get lost.Lily looked at Cynthia and she nodded her head. Lily was convinced. "Alright then. We'll take you on a tour of our school. Let's go" Lily said.The three girls left the room happily.Nelson entered the room that had been al
