The car hummed again, almost as if sending signals to the men standing before me, their heads bowed. 

“Mr. Jordan, please, you have to come with us.” 

I observed them closely as they stood in two neat lines, one opposite the other, leaving a narrow space between.

Or did Mikky send his men to kidnap me? No, this can’t be. Mikky's car is flashy, but this... this is way too luxurious for him. 

The sleek white Rolls-Royce, the polished interior—it didn’t match his obnoxious flaunting of wealth. He’s rich, sure, but not like this.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, my voice firmer this time, though a knot tightened in my chest, and my body still ached from the earlier ordeal.

 I wasn’t in the mood for more trouble.

The man in front, the one who had greeted me so respectfully, looked down at his feet, pretending he hadn’t heard the question. Another man, standing just behind him, shifted uncomfortably.

"Mr. Jordan," the first man began again, "it's best if you just come with us. We’ll explain everything once we get there."

"Get where?" I narrowed my eyes. "No. I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what this is about. Who are you?"

The men exchanged quick glances, their silent exchange saying more than words could. 

They were hiding something, and my patience was wearing thin.

“I’m not asking again,” I said, taking a step back from the car. My body still ached from the beating earlier, but adrenaline was kicking in. “You either tell me who you are, or I’m walking.”

That polite smile from earlier faltered, replaced with a look of quiet desperation. 

The leader, or whoever he was, sighed heavily. “I’m afraid that’s not an option.”

Before I could react, the two men flanking him moved. It happened so fast that I barely had time to register what was going on. 

Their hands were on me, firm but oddly gentle as if they were trying not to hurt me. 

Instinct kicked in, and I fought back. I shoved one of them off me and threw a punch at the other. It connected with his jaw, and he stumbled backward, clutching his face. But the strange thing was—he didn’t hit me back. 

Neither of them did. It was like they were scared to fight me.

“Stop it, Mr. Jordan!” one of them pleaded as he dodged another punch. “We don’t want to hurt you!”

“Then let me go!” I snarled, swinging wildly. I didn’t care if they weren’t fighting back—I wasn’t about to let these strangers drag me into a car against my will.

The first man, the one in charge, stepped forward quickly, pulling something from his jacket. Before I could even process what it was, I felt the rough bite of rope being wrapped around my wrists. 

“What the hell—” I started, but the rope was yanked tight, and my hands were bound.

Panic surged through me. I kicked at one of them, but they continued to pull me toward the car. I thrashed and my heart raced, but it was futile. 

They were stronger than they appeared.

“Who the hell sent you? Why are you doing this?” I snapped.

He looked away, refusing to answer, he signaled, the driver who started the engine, and the car lurched forward. 

I sat there, helpless, the world outside blurring as we sped away from the school, away from everything I knew.

After a while, the car pulled up to a sprawling mansion, and my eyes widened at the sight before me. 

It was like something out of a movie. 

The driveway seemed to go on forever, flanked by neatly trimmed hedges and shiny marble statues that sparkled in the light of fancy street lamps. 

The mansion itself was massive, its walls a pristine white, reflecting the light from crystal chandeliers hanging inside. Every window glistened, and the grand double doors at the entrance were framed by towering pillars of polished stone.

The place reeked of wealth, the kind that made you feel small just by standing near it.

I was dragged out of the car, my legs still unsteady from the ride. As I looked around, I noticed the security detail. Escaping from a place like this would be difficult. However, I began to devise an escape plan.

There were at least a dozen bodyguards stationed around the house, all dressed in black suits with earpieces in their ears. Their gazes were sharp and alert. They stood like statues—impassive, immovable, and intimidating.

I tried to process what was happening. This wasn’t a simple abduction. Whoever owned this place had the kind of money that could buy silence, power, and anything in between. But why me? 

My heart raced as I was escorted up the marble steps toward the front door. My mind raced faster. 

Who had I offended? Was it Mikky?

 No, this was too extravagant even for him. Besides, he was too busy humiliating me back at school. 

Or did Mikky’s father know about my confrontation with Mikky and now wants me to pay? But no, that didn’t seem right either. 

The opulence and grandeur of the place before me were far beyond anything the Cokers owned. 

I’d been to their mansion enough times, forced by Mikky to run his errands, and even their entire estate couldn’t compare to the luxury of this garage alone. 

The polished marble floors, the expensive cars lined up—it was a world far above Mikky’s.

My heart was pounding as I struggled to make sense of it all. This wasn’t some petty revenge from Mikky. No, this was something much bigger.

I hadn’t crossed paths with anyone who lived in a place like this. 

I glanced down at my clothes—still torn from the earlier fight—and it hit me. I had nothing of value. Nothing is worth all this effort. Why go through the trouble of bringing me here? I couldn’t make sense of it.

The doors swung open before I even got close, unveiling a lavish foyer. The floor was a shiny black-and-white checkered marble that led into a spacious area with grand staircases gracefully rising on both sides. 

Above me, a massive crystal chandelier sparkled like the sun, sending reflections dancing around the room like diamonds scattered on the walls. 

Gold accents shone from every nook, and pricey artwork adorned the walls—pieces I didn’t recognize but could tell were worth more than anything I’d ever owned.

It was a completely different world—so opulent it felt almost overwhelming.

‘Why? Why was I here?’ The thought never left me.

    The guys who brought me here were totally quiet as they guided me further into the mansion, leaving my questions hanging without answers.More bodyguards were scattered around, their expressions impossible to read.And whoever owned this place… they definitely had plans for me. I couldn’t find a way out; every escape route I thought of felt pointless, and I had no clue how to navigate my way back.My steps stumbled when I noticed an unfamiliar old man standing in the center of the room. He had this regal vibe, decked out in a sharp suit that practically shouted wealth and his gray hair was slicked back with a precision that only someone used to luxury could manage. His posture was straight, but his eyes… there was something familiar in them.When our gazes met, he paused for just a moment, then his face transformed. His eyes sparkled with an emotion I couldn't quite identify—was it shock, relief, or maybe excitement? It was like he’d seen a ghost.The man stood up, almost stumbling

    I stood there, numb, as the weight of his words sank in. This was real. I wasn’t just some mistake or outsider—they were saying I belonged to this family, a family that seemed like something out of a dream. How was this even possible? My mind was reeling, desperately searching for some explanation. But before I could speak, my grandfather’s eyes sparkled with an excitement that seemed to have been bottled up for years.He motioned for me to sit, his voice taking on a serious tone. “There’s so much you need to know, Jordan.” I hesitated, my heart pounding, but finally, I sat down. He leaned forward, hands clasped tightly, his gaze never leaving mine. “You’re not just inheriting a name. The Langston family isn’t just wealthy; we’re an empire. We are the Langston Consortium.”“Langston Consortium?” I repeated, my voice barely a whisper as the enormity of what he was saying began to sink in.“Yes,” he nodded firmly, his expression intense. “The Langston Consortium isn’t just any busin

    “After your graduation, you will inherit everything—the entire Langston Consortium.”“The entire consortium? But why the rush, Grandpa?” I asked, my face betraying my shock. I was only a student and not a business mogul, the idea of managing a massive consortium was unimaginable. The discomfort of it all made me pull a funny expression.“Don’t worry, I’ll be here to guide you. I won’t throw you into the deep end without support. But my priority is to hand everything over and... focus on my health.”I swallowed hard, feeling the enormity of what he was saying.His pride was palpable, but behind it, I could sense the years of weight he had carried. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a sleek platinum card. The logo on it was familiar; I had seen it on almost everything, including Grandfather’s phone and the documents handed to me earlier. I quickly recognized it as the Langston logo, with many items, especially gadgets, being customized and carrying the logo design.He handed me

    I couldn’t take it anymore. Watching them degrade the woman who had raised me—who had sacrificed everything for me—I felt my chest burn with rage.I rushed to them and stopped my grandmother from kneeling. Mikky’s eyes locked onto mine just as I approached, and that smirk of his deepened.“Well, well, look who it is—the pauper himself,” Mikky sneered. “Come to watch the show, busboy? Maybe you could serve us some wine and cheese to make it more fun and memorable”I clenched my fists, fighting to keep my cool. I wanted nothing more than to knock that smug look off his face.“Grandma,” I said, stepping in front of her protectively. “Let’s go. You don’t need to beg anyone for anything.”Mikky stepped forward, blocking my path. “Oh, leaving so soon? I thought we were just getting started,” he said.I glared at him, my voice low and uninterested in his antics. “Move.”He laughed. “Or what? You’ll hit me again, Jordan? You want to make this worse for yourself?”I glanced briefly at Diana,

    I froze, my fist mid-air, my body trembling with rage. I slowly turned to see Mr. Martins, the school director, storming toward us. His expression was clearly annoyed, his gaze fixed squarely on me. Diana stood behind him, her arms crossed and a smug smile playing on her lips. Yeah, she called him. But who cares anyways.Diana stepped forward, her voice filled with false concern. "Mr. Martins, thank goodness you’re here. Jordan just attacked Mikky out of nowhere like a wild animal. He’s been holding a grudge ever since that fight in the dorms, and now he's taken it too far. Look at Mikky!” Her tone was all too sweet, her words carefully chosen to paint me as the villain.Mikky groaned dramatically from the ground, clutching his side as if I’d broken every bone in his body, well I guess I did. “He went crazy! I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t listen. He just jumped me—he's out of control, Mr. Martins!”I clenched my fists, still fuming with rage, yet somehow, a part of me felt

    The crowd fell into a stunned silence, and the director’s smirk faltered for a brief moment before returning, though now tinged with disbelief. "Ten times?" The Director echoed, laughing mockingly. “You’re joking, right?”I didn’t flinch, keeping my gaze locked on his. "On one condition," I continued. "That Mikky is expelled from this school."Mikky doubled over, clutching his sides, while the director shook his head in disbelief. I could see my grandmother looking at me from my side view with wide eyes, as if I’d lost my mind. "Ten times?" the director repeated, struggling to contain his amusement. “That’s $20 million, Jordan. Are you sure you haven’t hit your head too hard? You expect us to believe that you can just pull $20 million out of thin air?”I remained unfazed, locking eyes with him. I could see his confidence waver for a moment, as if he wanted to believe me. But after sizing me up, he clearly concluded that I was mad. “Give me the school’s official account number, and I

    I stared at the screen, frozen in disbelief and shock. The words were clear, glaring at me like a cruel joke. How could this be? My grandfather wouldn’t lie to me—this card was real, wasn’t it? It has $1 Billion in it so why did my transfer fail?Before I could process what was happening, Mikky’s laughter exploded into the air, loud and obnoxious. He slapped his thigh, doubled over in amusement, while Diana clung to his arm, laughing right along with him."I knew it!" Mikky howled, pointing at me like I was the punchline to some cruel joke. "You really thought that card would work because it's flashy, didn’t you? What a loser!"Diana chimed in. "Honestly, Jordan, you shouldn’t have stoop this low. This is just embarrassing. Did you really think we’d fall for that little show?"“This is ridiculous, I thought for a second he had the $20 Million.”“Such a shameless pauper, he wasted our precious time.”“So unfortunate I staked a bet on you.”“Nothing good can come from an arrogant pauper

    The transfer went through, and I received a notification of the transaction—my balance was now $980,000,000. I smirked proudly. “Now, what do you have to say, Director?” I asked, turning to face him. He continued to stare at his phone, frozen in disbelief. I knew he had received the notification, but he wasn’t saying anything. He was just glaring at me and the phone, as if unable to process what had just happened.The silence was deafening. Mikky and Diana rushed over to him, their expressions shifting from smug confidence to shock as they saw the same thing on his screen. I could tell they had just received the shock of their lives.Everyone was waiting, holding their breath, for the director or Mikky to say something.Mikky whispered something inaudible to the director, who quickly adjusted his demeanor.“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Joker of the Year at Kingsford University,” the director announced, trying to mask his shock with a forced laugh.The crowd erupted in c

    After scrolling through my media feed throughout the previous day and studying intently for the test, I decided to also go as far as getting involved in many things, such as the school club. Probably not my best bet, but I was stubborn like that. If I wanted to change things in the school then I needed to be wiser than they were. To Mikky, he had finally defeated me but that was far from the truth. I had many people who had come to me stylishly to inform me about them being bullied by the same man but it wasn't my place to start exposing everything that I saw. I needed to keep something myself and stop every form of familiarity. Instead, I was working as an undercover agent to make sure that people got their deserved Justice.

    "Thank you for coming. I didn't know you were going to arrive as soon as possible. Your grandfather shouldn't be aware of our meeting." Cole said.I was perplexed but didn't want to show my surprise just yet. I knew that if he realized that I was not going to, I was not going against my grandfather. He would be a bit skeptical about his words, and I needed every information I could get, especially since he was a proper insider. "Did you think I was going to inform him?" I demanded portraying a look of affront. He shrugged, but I ended up understanding that he part of had more things to hide than to tell you. Well, it was in my right to deal with, yes, a lot of information and sieve out the most important parts. "I am here because I want us to have a conversation about everything that has happened so far. Firstly, I think I need to highlight that your grandfather is not at fault; instead, you had poor management of the situation, if I might be permitted to say so. If I were in your

    Since things had gone awry at school. It was up to me to decide what I wanted to do. I decided that I would no longer interfere in issues that didn't concern me no matter how much I was begged to.Secondly, I would retain my privacy and watch other people run after finding solutions while I enjoyed everything bequeathed to me. Thirdly I would also look for ways to pull more weight into the company instead of running around with fellow high school students seeking Justice that they didn't truly want. It was going to save me time and energy, and I would have a lot more to do with my life instead of just waiting and hoping that things were done for me. A knock resounded on my door and I rolled my eyes. This was probably my grandmother coming to talk to me about how I shouldn't be angry with my grandfather or simply because he turned my life around. While she was telling the truth, I still felt like he needed to hear my side of the story and not just stump into conclusions because of hi

    I looked down as soon as I was done with the school issues. My grandfather was mad at me and I could see him just keeping his cool until we arrived at his mansion. "I asked you to lay low but you went ahead to portray yourself as the sacrificial lamb and now see where it has landed you." He blew hot on me. I didn't think that I was at fault in this area. Maybe because I didn't conduct due diligence before jumping to save a person but it didn't mean that my actions were intrinsically wrong. I opened my mouth to defend myself, but he raised a finger, signaling that I kept shut. This was the first time that we were butting heads together, and I wanted to believe that my actions were only going to either push him further away or draw him closer to me, and I wanted it to be the latter. "I'm sorry for not paying intense attention and thinking that everyone was like me, who needed help from a bully, but I know better now." I apologized to him. He shook his head angrily probably thinking

    "Mr- Mr. Langston, I didn't know that you were coming around today." Miss Rose said in a perplexed tone. Her fakeness could never be matched. It wasn't my business whether or not she was expecting my grandfather to show up. My grandfather, on the other hand, didn't look like he was here for peace. "I asked a simple question, Miss Rose. Why have you taken it upon yourself to stress a boy who has never done anything to you besides just fighting for Mr Braxton's right? How has this been proven for you to brandish him as a rapist? How much were you given to carry out this without flinching or any conscience?" He went on to ask. "I-I didn't mean it that way, sir. I just wanted a bit of Justice just like he has always been an activist for. I believe that everyone deserves a fair chance at getting Justice. Emily is a less privileged student and if things like this are swept under the carpet, then there is no hope for her kind. I'm sorry if this looks like I am trying to blame an Innocent.

    The Internet was set ablaze with the latest news, but at this point, there was nothing I could do besides just wait for a bit, hoping that I was able to prove my innocence. I gazed at Emily through the corner of my eyes trying to figure out what she was playing at. My grandfather hadn't still called yet, even though I was aware that he had seen the pictures. Too many things were happening at the same time but he stayed away instead "I have only one question for you."Miss Rose said immediately we got to the staff room. I could hear the disdain and victory in her voice as soon as I stepped in. She had probably been looking for the perfect means to deal with me and the greatest opportunity presenter itself."You can't just ask me questions that point to something which I am completely innocent of.""You should prove it. You, of all people, know that people do not believe mere words unless they are backed up." She cross-examined me. I had come to realize that not many people wanted pea

    "Why did you do this?!" Emily yelled, pointing at me, catching me off guard. This was entirely strange to me because I never expected her to behave this way. I raised my eyebrow in surprise, trying to understand if I had made a mistake somewhere. "Emily, what are you talking about?" I demanded from her when she continued pointing at me and crying. Like an invitation, people started pouring out and rallying beside her. "I've always known that he is nothing to write home about. His fake activism was to hide the fact that he is such a wicked fellow, and everyone needs to know that right now." Some of my classmates whispered between themselves and I was still a little bit confused. "What is going on Emily? Why the hell is everyone gathered here and not talking about the culprit in front of you?" "He held my shirt and tried to tear it open.

    I was waiting for her to Emily to come out and inform me about the meeting. One of the only ways that could be free from this problem that she had managed to imprint on my mind was seeing that she got Justice. My phone rang numerous times but ignored it. It didn't make any sense that she was stalling despite having such long time to plan for this. I expected Mikky to show up anytime soon and we kickstart our detective process but this was only slowing things down. I decided to send Emily a text. "What's wasting time?" I replied with a smile on my face and realized that there might be something different which I needed to do quickly. "You've decided not to go about things the right way instead you want me to accept that you are playing small right?"Meanwhile, the sun was setting over the school, casting a golden glow over the deserted hallways. Students were either in class or had already headed home for the day. But in a secluded area behind the school, a different scene was unfol

    I rushed through classes expecting to hear from the lady who had texted me over the weekend but received no text. Worry filled my heart instantly as I thought about the possible scenarios that could surround her sudden silence. One of the things that came to mind is the fact that she could be blackmailed or, worse, involved in a greater problem. "Mst. Jordan would you like to contribute to the topic?" My teacher said bringing my attention back to the present. I didn't want to act based on how I felt, such as reaching out to the girl again, especially after I knew that it could be a prank. "You were speaking about the transfer of shares between co-partners. I think it is a good idea especially now that loyalty has become a scarce commodity." I diverted the conversation to a more engaging mode. Some students were already sleeping because of how boring the teaching was but I didn't want to discourage myself from listening nonetheless. "So you are one of the people who could take suc
