Chapter 8"Are you jealous, Jess?" Ashley was pissed, so she stepped forward and smirked at Jess."Don't be so full of yourself. There is nothing to be jealous about," Jess rolled her eyes, but deep inside her, she was fuming. How could he have found someone so early just barely forty-eight hours that they broke up?"You should mind your business then," Ashley said to her, then turned to Miles."Miles, let's go sit over there," She pointed toward the set of tables and chairs just behind Leo, and he nodded. They both walked over to the chair and sat on it."Your order is here," The waiter walked up to them and placed the food they had ordered earlier, along with Miles's bottled water since it was the only thing he ordered. He didn't just feel like eating anything tonight. At least not now."It's pathetic how he can't even afford a plate of food," Leo mocked Miles."I'm glad you left him, Jess. I couldn't afford to be with such a pathetic broke loser," Jess's friend added, and Jess snick

Chapter 9"I'm afraid I would have to involve the manager in this," The waiter threatened Miles."Yes, you should," Miles agreed, and they all glanced at each other.After the waiter left, Ashley looked around and found Leo and other classmates staring at them, so she sighed. Maybe it was a bad idea coming out here in the first place.Barely ten minutes after the waiter left, the manager of the restaurant, a man in his late forties, came walking into the restaurant with two hefty men walking behind him. They seemed to be his bodyguard."There you are, Mr. Collins," Leo uttered proudly as he stood up and smiled at the manager as he extended his hand for a handshake."It has been a while, Leo. How have you been?" The manager greeted Leo politely like they've been friends for a long time now."I've been good. I was still going to come to see you when we were done here. Is there a problem? You don't usually come here," Leo asked even though he knew that the manager was there because of Mil

Chapter 10"Over here, please," The waiter called out to his colleague who didn't spend another second before he walked over to where they were seated."Take this to that young man over there," The waiter gave Miles's bill to his colleague as he pointed toward Miles who was seated calmly.The waiter handed the bill to his colleague, and he left to meet Miles.While everyone was waiting for Miles to panic as he went through the bill, they were shocked to see the calm expression on his face instead."Two hundred thousand?" Miles raised his gaze to the waiter and asked."I told you that he won't be able to pay. How is a delivery guy going to raise two hundred thousand dollars for just a one-time meal?" Jake laughed even though he had yet to sort his bill out."What is two hundred thousand dollars that he can't afford? He is really a pauper," Leo mocked him as he laughed loudly."I'm glad you dumped him, Jess. I wonder how you would've coped with this," Jess's friend rolled her eyes."Yes

Chapter 11A dead silence played in the atmosphere as they all turned their faces away like Jake did not just speak to them. How were they supposed to afford such an expensive meal when they could barely raise money for their tuition fee? It's crazy how they were all bullying Miles earlier when they weren't any better than him. At least, that was when he was still poor."I don't have anything on me. I'm broke," Jess's friend was the first to quickly speak up as she scratched the back of her head, and the murderous glare that Jake threw at her was enough to kill her if look could actually kill."Didn't you say you have a rich boyfriend?" Jake scoffed unbelievably."I was just trying to make myself feel good," She muttered. Her voice was so low that Jake could barely hear, but still, he scoffed.Furthermore, he turned to Jess who quickly turned her face away and bit her bottom lip."I'm sorry... I don't have anything on me. I was waiting for Leo to send me the money he promised me," She

Chapter 12Ashley glanced at Miles for the umpteenth time as he drove them down the road. Even though she desperately wanted to mind her business and not ask about the money, her curiosity wouldn't stop kicking in, and she knew she would be disturbed and curious for as long as she kept it to herself."Are you ok?" Miles glanced at her and asked when he saw how uncomfortable she was, and she finally seized the opportunity to ask her question."I'm just curious. Miles... Where did you get that kind of money from?" She asked him out of the blue moon, and he matched the brake, bringing the car to an abrupt halt at the side of the road where many vehicles were passing by. "Uhm... The money?" Miles bit his inner bottom lip, trying to think of something convincing enough because he couldn't just reveal his identity to her like that. It wouldn't make any sense, and she wouldn't even believe him because even he would find it difficult to believe if someone ever said something of such to him.

Chapter 13Miles breathed out in relief once he stepped out of the class. The lecture was finally over, and he could finally go back home since he had been looking forward to the time the class would be over.He walked briskly down the walkway and made his way straight to the parking lot, and when he arrived there, he hopped inside his car and the ride back home began.As Miles rode through the dark yet busy road, his new phone beeped and a text from Ashley popped on the screen. 'Why are you taking so long, Miles?' He read through the text after he pulled over at the side of the road. He replied to her and told her he was on his way back to the dormitory. After he dropped his phone on the seat beside him, he started the car and drove off.The ride back to the dorm took less than ten minutes, and when he arrived, he pulled over neatly at the spot where he usually parked his car. Furthermore, he proceeded toward the building.Miles arrived at the front of their apartment and pushed the

Chapter 14'Why don't you be a man and stop this while I'm being nice, huh?' Miles dropped another comment. He couldn't just fold his arms and watch someone bash his friend like that, right?'Or else? What are you going to do? Are you going to beat me up?''I see you are a new user. I guess you are just using this for the first time' Came another couple of comments from the same person, and Miles huffed.'This is crazy and immature. You can't just come into someone's live and bash her like that''This man must be an asshole. Why would he talk to a woman like that? I guess he was not brought up well by his Mom. If not, he wouldn't talk to a woman like that''All these social media influencers are worse than Jezebels. Who knows, maybe she really slept with many men to keep her career going. People and doing things desperately just to get what they want''That's not fair to say to your fellow woman. It's her life, and besides, everyone is doing what they can to survive. If she is really

Chapter 15"Why is he not dropping a comment again?" Miles mumbled as he scrolled through his phone. Although comments from many users were still coming in, commending him for a job well done, but he was concerned about the man's comment and wanted to see it."Maybe he gave up," He concluded, and just when he was about to drop his phone, a comment from the man finally dropped.'You think I'm going to give up just like that? Never!' Came his comment.'Did our puppy go to borrow money to buy more gifts? I hope he doesn't end up in the police station after taking a loan''You should give up already. You can't afford anything again. It's obvious you are already broke''The next time you want to bash someone, be sure to be prepared financially so as if the same occurrence comes up again in the future' Many users bashed him.The man bought the fourth most expensive gift and sent it to Ashley.'I challenge you to beat me if you can' He dropped a follow-up comment with a few emojis smirking a

Miles stepped out of the car that had just driven into the big compound of the mansion standing in front of him. The house was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and he was even awed by the number of cars parked in the garage. Even though he wanted to take his time to admire the place and check out what it looked like, he wasn't so settled to do that."This way, please," Bryant gestured toward the entrance door and started walking toward it immediately, so Ethan followed him, counting his steps nervously. His jaw dropped when he walked into the living room which looked like another planet on its own, but he was soon distracted by the number of men in black suits queued in the living room. Something he was just noticing."Welcome home, master," Again, they all stood up and bowed to him just like how those people did back at the prison."Wait here while I go call our boss," Bryant uttered and was about to walk away when a deep baritone voice sounded along the stairs."I've been

Miles sat on the cold floor, gazing into space as he shivered from the cold piercing through his bones. His body felt stiffened, but he knew he had to hang in there. He needed to. He couldn't just give up at this point in his life.'You are not the father of my child' Those words have been living rent-free in his head for the past two days since he has been here, wishing that it was a dream. He wished someone would tap him to wake up and maybe tell him that it was all a nightmare. 'How did I get here? How did everything suddenly go wrong? Why did she do it?' he asked himself as he hugged his knees to his chest, but his only crime was being poor. His only crime was not being able to afford the luxurious life she wanted, but he did his best. Until two days ago, he had done everything in his power to give her all the happiness she wanted. He tried to provide for her with the little he had, and all he wanted was to have a happy life together as one big family with the kids they would hav

Chapter 51"Why am I getting dressed?" Sonia paused and asked herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. It's not that she was going to see him for the first time. She didn't even get this excited the first time she was going to meet him, so what was this about?"Ugh! Forget it," She rolled her eyes and continued what she was doing, regardless.Sonia was soon getting dressed, so she left her room. She was impressed when she walked inside the living room and the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed her."I trust your cooking so well... The aroma is everything," She closed her eyes and breathed in after she walked inside the dining room where she met Amelie setting the table."Whatever! The food is all ready now," Amelie announced as if she didn't see that the table was already set."But wait... Why are you all dressed up, girl?" Amelie was forced to ask after she scanned her with her eyes."I just got married, so I should look good," Was the only excuse she gave Ame

Chapter 50"Are you kidding me? You really got married to that dude?" Amelie, Sonia's best friend shrieked as she held the certificate in her hand with her eyes narrowed in shock."Are you out of your mind, Sonia? I mean, how can you get married to that dude? He looked like a student and he is not even...""Can you quit ranting, Amelie? You are going to make me sick if you keep being like this. Ugh! I feel like passing out," Sonia whined as she rubbed her fingers gently on her forehead while closing her eyes."It just doesn't make any sense to me, Sonia. You need to think about this again. You can't be married to that dude," Amelie insisted, and she sighed."What is there to think about again, Amelie? We are already married," Sonia just shrugged and rolled her eyes."It's not something to worry about, Amelie. I will handle things, ok? We are just married because of..." Sonia paused and briefly sighed. She didn't want to tell not even her best friend that her marriage was just an arrang

Chapter 49Miles stepped out of the car that had just pulled over in front of the city hall. It was the day he was supposed to get married to Sonia and also inherit the fortune. All he needed was just to get the marriage certificate and sign the contract with Mr. Ace later in the day, and everything would finally become his.The sound of his ringing phone pulled his attention as he walked toward the entrance door, and when he saw that it was Sonia, he quickly swiped the answer button."Hey!""Hey, Miles... I'm sorry, something came up here and I'll be delayed a bit. Can you wait for me, please?" Her innocent voice sounded from the other end."Sure, I will," At that moment although Miles knew that this marriage was just an arranged one, still, he didn't want anything else more than to get married to Sonia. She was everything he ever wanted in a woman.The call ended and he sighed. Miles walked over to sit at the corner of the city hall, waiting for his soon-to-be wife while imagining wh

Chapter 48Sonia glanced at Miles for the umpteenth time on their way home and she couldn't help but feel grateful for coming to her rescue. Maybe those bad guys would've harmed her if he had not shown up."Thank you," She muttered as she glanced at him, and he hummed as he nodded. Since she was still shocked by what happened earlier, Miles decided to drive her instead after he helped her fix the car.The ride to Sonia's apartment didn't take much time before they arrived, and Miles stepped out of the car after she did."You should sleep early. I'll be busy tomorrow so we might not get to see each other," Miles handed her the car keys, but she glanced at her wristwatch and turned her attention back to him."It's late. Why don't you sleep over? I have two rooms. You can make use of one of them...""Don't worry about...""Your house is still far from here and it's going to be difficult to get a cab at this time of the night. So, I insist," She insisted and he was eventually left with no

Chapter 47"Thanks for earlier," Sonia muttered as she glanced over to Miles on their way home."Hmm," Miles just nodded and looked out through the window. He had a lot of things to ask her which were not limited to her family, but they were not legally married yet, so he didn't have any right to ask her. At least not just yet."Why don't we go to the city hall for the marriage certificate next tomorrow? I have time then and I think it'll be perfect," Sonia suggested, getting Miles's attention."Hmm... That's fine," He nodded and she forced a smile.Sonia pulled over in front of Miles's dorm minutes later, and he removed the seatbelt from his body."See you around," Miles was going to open the door when she spoke up."Why don't you come over to my house tomorrow? I think you should know my house since we'll be getting married soon," Sonia suggested and he thought about it for a few seconds before he nodded."That's fine,""I will send you my address," He nodded and finally stepped out

Chapter 46"What are you talking about?" Mr. Frost hesitated for a few minutes before he finally asked.Over the years, Sonia had been pretending not to know everything that happened years ago. How her Dad had been spending the money that her Mom worked hard for.Mr. Frost was just a delivery guy who found favor in the eyes of the billionaire heiress, Claudia Ramos. They dated for a few months before they got married, and Frost automatically inherited her wealth because of the love Claudia had for him. A few years after the death of Sonia's Mom, her Mom's assistant had reached out to her from where he was hiding and told her about everything that happened but the death of her Mom remained mysterious. For years, she had been deprived of her mom's wealth, she was fine with it, but now she couldn't fold her arms and watch her Dad give it to his other daughter. That was the last thing she'd ever allow."We both know what I'm talking about, Dad... Do you think I will fold my arms and watc

Chapter 45"Why don't you stop with the pretense, Dad? We both know that you don't care about me," Sonia scoffed as she stood up from the couch, and Miles did too. "You! How could you be rude to Dad in the presence of a stranger?" Harley stepped forward and snapped at Sonia."Dad...""Your sister is just under the weather. You shouldn't be like that to her," Mr. Frost, their Dad forced a smile."You called me here to attend Harley's birthday dinner party..." She huffed as she crossed her arms on her chest and rolled her eyes."What game are you trying to play this time, Dad?""Sonia... I only called you here so we can get to know your fiance. Besides, it's family time together, so I was thinking you shouldn't be left out. Don't you think?" Seeing the smile on the man's face made Sonia's skin crawl with disgust. She tried to fight back her tears even though it was difficult to. Her heart was breaking into a million shreds. It's fine that he didn't like her and not that he was complain
