The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 28
"Hey, Jordan, wait up!" A small voice called as I walked up the porch. I turned and saw a young guy staring at me with a small smile on his face. Since I started living here, I have never encountered any neighbor who has tried to converse with me. He skipped towards my porch with a wider smile on his face. "I know you. Everyone has been talking about you lately, but no one seems to know where you reside." He made sure to remind me. I didn't appreciate his tone because it sounded a bit judgmental and problematic but I wasn't going to judge him for it. "Good to know that I have become popular, is there a problem?"He shook his head, however rocking on his feet, his eyes roaming about. "I just want you to see... I guess I was curious about a person who has been causing chaos and I am pretty shocked to see you here."I sighed; this didn't make any sense at all, no matter how much he might try to word it. I was tired of having to continue this conversation with someone who would pull my

Now, while that was not my agenda at the right time, I was curious to find out why they would think I would be remotely interested in such an arrangement. I had stayed long enough to realize that people often came up with various excuses just to get allies who would help them wreak havoc but I wasn't going to be part of those clique. "You want me to work hand in hand with you to bring down Mikky. Why would you even think that in the first place? Do you think I am one of those people who do not care about their reputations but will go ahead to destroy others? I hope you have heard that I do not frolic with people who aren't worth it. I stay in my lane which involves doing the right thing." I replied to him instantly. This could be a trap to get me to say something which I wouldn't on a normal day but I was waiting. He shot me a flustered smile, which I didn't pay attention to. "Mikky has stepped on a lot of toes but no one dared to bring him down. in case you do not know, his father

"Am I on the phone with Mr Braxton?" A gruff voice spoke over the phone causing the principal's heart to skip a bit. The familiar voice couldn't be missed, but he wanted to pretend not to know it. "I'm sorry, can I know who I'm speaking with?" The principal replied stylishly while putting the phone and speaker. He had been expecting the rebuttal but didn't know when it was going to come. "Do not mess with me, you know who is talking, Braxton." Mr Coker responded. He was in a bad mood, and throwing a pretender in the mix was only going to make his head spin angrily. "I believe that you already know why I am calling and that shows your level of dedication. Listen to me carefully, I don't care whatever you must have passed as the verdict but all I have to say to you is, I need that boy out of that school before my son resumes. You know what I can do in society, and I am sure that you wouldn't want to dare me. I have allowed your foolishness to go on for so long but now I am ready to c

There was nothing more to say besides the fact that the Coker enterprise was about to be damaged.No one had ever told him that stuff like this could arise, and he was trying his best not to be in such a situation where he would have to almost lose his resources. Talk about someone springing up something different immediately. He wasn't aware that there would be any form of interaction whether from the Langston consortium or whatever. "This can't be possible. How can someone who doesn't mean from anywhere suddenly just bring up weird rumors about me and people believe from begin to pull out of their agreements with me? I need to have a word with the CEO." Mr. Coker spoke. Mr Carlton shook his head, refusing to be plunged into that war. It would have been better if everything had been settled probably beforehand not now that he was just trying to get his act together. "Sir, I believe that we need to tread cautiously so that we do not upset some important people. I understand how you

It almost seemed like just because of what had happened, his father had suddenly become a lion to his beloved son. Gone were the days when his father would take it upon himself to do whatever he asked, but right now, he had to go tooth and nail just to make his father see reasons why he should answer his beloved son. The Genesis of all his problems was Jordan. If that stupid boy had not gotten him in that mess, he wouldn't have to bend over just to please his father and convince him to do his responsibility. His friends have refused to call and that pissed him even further. Scrolling through his contact list, he decided to call a cheaper friend who wouldn't mind any amount he was given as long as he was able to get some scraps to feed his ill mother. "I need you to do something for me. I have sent people to get Jordan for me but everyone has refused to be useful. I believe I can count on you right?" He said trying to guilt trip the young man into doing his bidding. Nothing was ever
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 33
I heard a knock on the door that evening just as I was coming out of the study and decided to answer it. Thinking that it was one of the kids in the neighborhood, I had already envisaged what I was going to say, but upon getting there, I was greeted with the shock of my entire life. Mikky stood outside with a weird smile on his face. "I thought that people were exaggerating when they told me that you resided here now. I mean, I felt like they were just trying to pull my legs, but right now, I can see that it's true. Aren't you going to welcome me into your house?" He said. I stared at him warily, knowing fully well that he wasn't here to exchange pleasantries with me but I wasn't going to give him the impression that I was scared. Instead, I kept on staring at him. "I didn't know you were going to be stopping by, hence my shock, but I do not allow visitors in, especially uninvited ones." Mikky stretched his neck behind me trying to catch a glimpse of the interior of the house. It p

A few Days Later, My confrontation with Mikky had spread like wildfire so much that immediately I set foot into the school compound. A few people rallied around me, asking about my well-being and asking if most of the rumors they had heard were true. I ignored everyone and continued down to my class. This conversation wasn't any of their business so they didn't deserve to get a scoop. If they wanted more information, they could go to their favorite outlet; I guess from the way I shunned all of them, they had learned how to maintain their balance. The bell was just ringing as I entered the class with my backpack. I refused to act differently so that it wouldn't ruin my charade. Since Mikky had been able to find my location, it wasn't rocket science that more people would be interested in knowing more about me. I was ready to dissuade their efforts. "Good morning, class. I hear that the school has been buzzing with different rumors, but I urge you all to maintain decorum, especially
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 35
"Mr. Coker, I urge you to take things easy so that we do not set everything ablaze. I believe that it is something we can talk about, and by that time, we won't have any issues. I thought this was supposed to be a reconciliatory discussion?" Mr Braxton said because right now he no longer understood why the man was trying to intimidate the boy despite being told that his son was the one behind it.Mr. Coker glared at the principal trying to get on his nerves without even trying to do too much. Why had he refused to say what was necessary all in the name of trying to do whatever he wanted? "I believe that we had concluded, even before this riff-raff came in here. I am not going to sit here and be disrespected stylishly by you or anyone. If there is going to be a change, then I should be aware of it. I am not going to be made to be a fool here." He said categorically.At this point, no one was dragging anything with him. Instead, they just kept on staring at him, and that made him even

The cameras flash. Always flashing. Like a strobe light hell. 'Click. Click. Click'. I straighten my tie. Cheap polyester. Scratchy. 'Good'. Reminds me I’m not one of them. The podium’s edge digs into my palms. Cold steel. Biting. The crowd’s a blur. Suits. Lipstick. Teeth. Hungry for blood. “Ladies. Gentlemen.” I let the mic screech. Feedback whines. They flinch. 'Perfect'. “Tonight, we carve out the 'rot'.” A paperweight sits on the podium. Glass. Useless. I hurl it sideways. It explodes against the wall. 'Crash'. The crowd jumps. A reporter spills his coffee. Dark liquid bleeds across the road. 'Symbolic'. I don’t laugh. “Coker,” I say slowly. Let the syllables rot in the air. “Saint of the City? 'Bullshit'.” The screen behind me flickers. Grainy footage. Coker’s docks. Midnight. Shadows slithering. Crates cracked open. White powder glowing. Ghostly. “Drugs.” I click the remote. Next slide: Judge Eleanor Pryce. Diamond earrings. Smug grin. Pocketing an envelope thick as a b

Jordan’s POVFirst, a ding, followed by a mild vibration.A smirk played on my lips as I dipped my hand excitedly into my pocket and brought out my phone. I had been expecting this message and it came at the perfect time.My eyes scanned the notification on the phone after which I unlocked it to view it better.It was from FriendsMe, a secret platform I and Josh created when we were just kids, whispering about taking over the world in hushed tones.Back then, FriendsMe had been a platform where we could dream big and fantasize about anything. It was our safe haven where we could plot our future and plot ideas without anyone watching us.But things had changed— I had changed.“I know it is you. Behind all of this. The accidents. The disappearances. The chaos. It’s you, isn’t it?” Josh asked.I let out a chuckle as I read the message again. Josh had always been smart but he wasn’t smart enough.I left the message on read and wanted to lock it when another message came in.“Listen man, I

Jordan's POVThe scent of fresh paint and polished wood filled the air as I stepped into the Langston Consortium’s main building. Truly it was fascinating how far we have come and I was so proud of myself.Months of silence had been replaced with ringing phones, busy days and nights, we had so many clients that we had to open a waiting list and that still got filled up.I walked through the hall, hands tucked into my pockets, watching the company my grandfather built come alive once more. It was mine now and I hoped he was proud of the slight changes I made.His death didn't go unpunished and I wouldn't let anything happen to this company no matter the cost.Near the entrance, an older man in a faded suit approached, his steps hesitant. His gaze held quiet hope. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve been with this company for thirty years. My loyalty has never wavered. I—”I lifted a hand, cutting him off gently. “The past stays in the past. It’s time for something new.” I uttered in a finite toneHis th

Jordan's POVThe courtroom was filled with tension. No one said a word but you could feel it in the air as we waited for the video to play.Mr. Coker sat stiffly at the defendant’s table, fingers locked together as though he wanted to strangle me.His lawyer whispered something, but he didn’t react. His jaw worked as if grinding gravel, his eyes shifting to the large screen where the next piece of evidence played.It was a briefcase exchanged proving Coker had bribed the inspector. The official took it with a quick glance over his shoulder, counted the cash, then nodded. Mr. Coker’s voice came through as he gave clear instructions. “This needs to be handled. No complications.”Gasps rippled through the courtroom.I leaned forward, hands gripping the armrest of my chair. My throat felt dry. Across from me, Mr. Coker’s wife pressed a hand to her mouth, face drained of color.The prosecutor stepped forward. His eyes flicked to the judge, then back to the screen. “For the record, this foo

The weight of my words had barely settled before the world caught fire.We couldn't even continue the interview because of how fast the clips circulated on news channels, social media posts multiplying like cells under a microscope. The video surged past fifty million views in hours, tearing through every platform like a storm with no intention of slowing down. "Jordan Langston exposes billionaire Coker in a shocking interview!""Explosive truth: Young heir accuses Coker of murder!""What really happened to Mr. Langston? The answer stuns the world!"Comments, opinions, speculations poured in. Some hailed me as brave, a warrior dragging hidden rot into the light. Others called me reckless, a kid playing with fire, a target painting himself in the brightest red.I sat in the dim glow of my phone screen, scrolling, skimming, watching my own words loop over and over. The sound of hurried footsteps pulled me from the trance. The door swung open. My mother stood there, her breath uneven,

I straightened in my chair wiping off invisible dirt off my suit, I was to look perfect today.We were at the TV station, bright lights beamed overhead, hot against my skin but I didn't break a sweat, we were surrounded by cameras and the interview team.Beside me, my lawyer adjusted his cuffs, his movements smooth, practiced, deliberate. He smelled like expensive cologne and fresh paper, like someone who knew his way around battles fought with words instead of fists.“You good Jordan” he muttered not out of care but hoped I wouldn't make the wrong move.“Never better” I reassured, giving a smile that would be stuck on my face for most of the interview.Soon the interviewer took her seat, a woman with clipped curls and eyes that held the hunger of someone searching for a story, she leaned forward. Her lips, painted the color of ripe cherries, parted as she spoke.“Nice to have you here today” she began giving a big smile for the camera before she returned to us."Mr Jordan, given the

I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked. I should have tried another alternative. It just occurred to me. I gnashed my teeth in regret. I've been running for my own life and now I'd have to protect two souls at the same time, I grabbed my phone, “Silvia…yeah I know…as soon as you're done, grab a few stuffs and come over…I have spaces here…I know, but believe me when I say this, Coker will come for your head and he won't take chances, that's why I said you should come” I hung up the call almost immediately. I've said what needed to be said. Preparations for the primaries to determine who the flag bearer for the parties was almost underway. I'm sure Coker will be all smiles, with the mindset

Life has been good for the first time in a while. At least, I'm getting to lay hands on the man that's taken so much from me. “All you investors should stay clear and be watchful. There's a scammer creating illusions everywhere and scamming big businesses of their money. I had a similar experience just last night…”I've had enough. Mr Coker has been up and about, going to tv stations and a couple of newspaper publications has been made already, trying to find the person that's broken through the firewalls of the company's site. Mr Coker will definitely not allow this slide like that and I'm well aware of how desperate he is. “He's just saying, he won't be able to fish you out” my mom said, trying to make me feel at ease. “I know right but we both know how desperate this son of the devil is. He definitely won't go down without a fight. Let's see what becomes of him” With an understanding that the money that was siphoned from him was public funds, it'd be more than easy to have him
