The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 44
The school bell dinged just right in time as I entered the hall, and I checked my time. It was only Mr Braxton who knew my movements and allowed me to go and come in as I pleased because he knew I was taking care of my grandmother. Well, that was what I told him for now. He would know the truth later on. The janitor stared at me like I had committed a crime that I didn't even know of. I kept on looking at him, waiting for a confrontation of the sort, but nothing came, so I continued into the class. Babe might probably think that I was sneaking out of school to commit a crime like some people did but I didn't blame them. They gave people the impression that that was all life was all about but here I was making sure that everything was going on smoothly. "So... Why are you just coming to school by this time when you know the rules?" The history teacher confronted me as soon as I passed by the staff room. I had to wait and turn, return to where they were sitting to explain my plight.

A few Days Later,After intense preparation for the competition, I felt a little tired as I walked into the school environment the next morning. My entire body was screaming for me to go back to bed and get some rest. I yawned leisurely and tucked my hand in my trouser’s pocket as I walked through the school halls, as I did my brain was calibrating literally.I could have sworn I saw double images of everyone as I walked by. For a moment, in fact, I lost my way but soon found it back and quickly headed to my locker, picking out the notes I needed when it struck me that I hadn't done the actual home reading we were tasked to do. I shook my head slamming the door shut.“Man, school sucks,” I mumbled to no one in particular, strolling towards

"Both of you stand down!" The principal commanded in an authoritative way that he listened to Mikky's explanation, trying to justify his acts. "I thought that you would have found a way to settle your differences without always having butt heads, but that isn't the case here." I smiled at him because our fight wasn't going to end anytime soon and I was quite sure of that. "Mikky, we had a discussion where you promised not to ever be involved in this anymore. Why is there a problem here?" He demanded from him. Mikky's mouth fell open instantly at the implication. "Why do you think that I am the one with a problem question mark? He was the one who was engaging me and making my life miserable, but you find a way to blame me?" He inquired. "Simply because I know the kind of person that you are that's why I might not take it easy with you. Jordan has done nothing but be himself and you have always found a way to fight him. I believe that by now you should have overcome your grievances
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 47
I weighed my options, looking for the best way to go about this without things going south in the future.It wasn't because I did not trust Mr Braxton. Instead, it was because I was trying to protect my heritage till the time was bright. My grandfather had not even allowed me to start taking most of the decisions unless I was done with school so there was no need to brag about something that was mine. "I asked you a question, Jordan." He reminded me but I refused to speak. While this could have been a harmless conversation between my principal and me, I knew I had enemies lurking around who wouldn't hesitate to take whatever information got into their hands and use it against me. My grandfather wouldn't be proud of me if he found out. So many things were happening at the same time I decided to be as calm as I could so that I could process my words perfectly and not be in the loop later on. "I see that you are reluctant to tell me what you have been up to and it makes me wonder if t
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 48
Life had been pretty fast these days, but one of the only things that kept me grounded was the fact that I had most things under control, and I didn't need to report to anyone per se, besides my grandfather showing me the ropes behind the scenes. I was also invested in my academics because the examination was already around the corner, and I couldn't afford to have poor grades, especially now that my living conditions had improved. There was virtually no excuse that even I would come to terms with so I was pretty insistent on getting a high grade This affected my relationship with Josh because many times when he called me for things he considered important, I always found a way to brush him off. I made a mental note to visit him one of these days to explain what had been happening but it wasn't looking fruitful. My grandmother had also picked up on my craze and called me out on my b******* but as usual, I told her that it was nothing. It wasn't until yesterday before she put her
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 49
When I arrived at school the next morning, I was surprised to see that there were banners all around safety that there was a new law passed. "No one should come in without permission, and likewise, no one should leave without the principal's permission."I scrunched my brows, thinking why he suddenly brought up these rules. Not thinking too much about it I decided to go away. Exams were around the corner and I'd been studying back to back. We went into the hall, as soon as the bell rang. Finally enough, Mr Braxton was not present on the assembly ground, making me wonder what was happening. This wasn't usual. "Is anything going on?" I asked my fellow students."There is a rumor that Mr Braxton had designed. I don't know how true it is so, but I guess it's true because the day of all people would have been present in school without anyone's knowledge and permission." Philip said. My brain was calculating at the same time as to why you would suddenly disappear from his duty post. Mr.

Most people rallied around me, trying to get support, but the rest of the class was almost behaving like I was the weapon fashioned against them. Guess who didn't care? Me obviously. I knew what they were up to and wasn't going to give them that chance to waste my time. I wanted some rest and I was going to get it whether or not they like it or not. My work wasn't done especially when I knew that Mr Braxton hadn't still been returned to school after our rally. I decided to employ greater strategies that could make them know that I wasn't joking. "So, I believe that almost everyone knows what has happened in school but would gladly pretend that they are unaware because they don't want to lose their scholarships," I said, presiding over the school club. The students looked at me in fear and I understood what they were talking about. We all knew that it was Mr Coker that did this but we were going to pretend not to. A student raised his hand, "I don't think we should overstress this
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 51
"So with all the evidence presented against us, we can deduce that Mr Braxton is not guilty of the offenses but is only being kicked out for his high moral standards?" One of the students asked when he went through the information we got from his tab. Everyone nodded that in agreement and we couldn't be more proud that we had finally hacked the code. We had evidence of two teachers discussing Mr Braxton and how it would be nice to take over his position hence the reason for the accusation. I wasn't really pleased with only this piece of information because I believed something else was wrong but people were trying to hide it. One of the things was Mr Coker's involvement. I didn't want to involve my grandfather directly because it was only going to compound issues so I lay low and watched them daily great on their next move. "Jordan, you've refused to speak ever since you got here." The boy whose house we were using, said, making the room fall silent as they turned to stare at me I

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
Chapter 184
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
