The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 97
I arrived at the hospital in a jiffy and was afraid when I saw Annie hooked up to various wires. I couldn't help but panic at the sight. "What happens to her? Is there any problem?" I inquired from the Doctor who was busy charting something. "I need you to calm down, Master Jordan. You were the only person that we could reach out to because of your contact on speed dial. I believe that you can contact her parents, right?" He inquired from me, making me shake my head. I had never visited her house. How was I supposed to know what her parents looked like or have an idea of their numbers? "You can always reach out to the school I believe that they have proper information about every student. She is my friend and..." I trailed off, realizing that this conversation was not necessary especially when we had an elephant and the room we needed to dissect before things went out of hand. "How is she feeling and do you think she's going to get better anytime soon? I can't stand to watch her un

Two Days Later, I sat in my grandfather's office and gazed around trying to figure out what exactly was wrong in this mix. I had everything under control, or so I thought, but there was something still weird about occupying a place where someone else had made his residence. Maybe it was because I had not been officially inaugurated into the office, so I always had this feeling that I was a temporary replacement and it made me want to work harder so that people could respect me. I gazed at my laptop screen, expecting to see an avalanche of messages, but was surprised to see it bare. Whoa, it was supposed to be a relaxation period for me but I suddenly had the nudge to do more. I wanted to impress whoever had the chance to come in contact with me. They didn't need to feel my grandfather's absence. I knew that filling into his shoes was going to be a huge problem for me to deal with but I guess I had to do it as soon as I could so that I get ahead of my mates who probably hadn't

Donning my suit and inspecting my full length in the mirror gave me the confidence boost that I needed. I was looking smart, and everyone around me attested to that, starting from my grandmother, who had hyped me up. "Do you think that this is going to fly?"She nodded. "They would be stupid enough not to allow you present simply because your grandfather is currently indisposed. I don't know if anyone is going to take that step but I'm sure that the minute they hear you speak, they will be convinced without measure." She responded, shooting me a warm smile. I had never wanted to get involved in this conversation unless there was something important, but according to what I was hearing, I guess I was doing a damn good job at my grandfather's company. "How have you been coping with my grandfather's sickness?" I said while putting my cufflinks in place. A sad look appeared in my grandmother's eyes but she quickly brushed it away. "Today is not about your grandfather; it's supposed to b

"Dad, I need you to see this!" Mikky yelled throughout the house as he rushed to where his father was sitting. His hands trembled when he saw the news. Who would have ever imagined that this son of a gun would have such affiliations? Not only that, he also had more ranks than him. "I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it on the news but now it's beginning to sound true. Did you ever notice him in Langston consortium whenever you went visiting?" Mr. Coker was a bit stunned when he saw the news. How the hell did Jordan manage to sneak himself into such a large corporation pretending to be the long-lost heir? "It's probably a stunt, you realize that that boy has a lot of tactics up his sleeves and is only looking for a way to come back here and prove that he is something when he isn't?" He said, his voice also slightly trembling because he understood the gravity of what had happened. What if this boy was the one behind the disappearance of his shares in that company and he was only

"Master Jordan, I hope you can Grant us an interview. This is the best news that has ever graced our platform. We were the first carriers of the news and that has skyrocketed our magazine. A lot of people have been trooping in asking that we sell private information about you to them, which we have declined. I need you to just grant me an interview which I promise you is going to bring us revenue." Mr Sanders from the city press house said, all in a rush, expecting that I was going to be psyched up by his proposal. Did he think that his money was going to make any changes in my life besides that which I wanted? I stared at him for so long before deciding to speak. "It's a pity how most of you go about selling stories that are not true simply because you want to gather traction. I am not going to be a party to any of this nonsense you are willing to put out. If you cannot find stories on your own then count me the hell out." I responded I only picked up his call simply because I tho

"Hello, can you come as soon as you can, I think your grandfather is recovering!" The doctor said over the phone and my joy knew no bounds immediately. I jumped into my car and drove off. I knew that I was taking a risk because I had not gotten my license but with my position, I guess I could flex some privileges.Upon arrival at the hospital, I could feel the giddiness in the air as I moved in anticipation. Finally, my grandfather is going to be awake and take over his place. This was the most exciting news I had heard in a long while even though I was newly inaugurated into my office."Mst. Jordan!" The doctor called, falling into step with me as I rushed towards my grandfather's ward. "Why don't we discuss this in my office first before you go and see him so that you can prepare your mind for whatever you encounter." He said, making me worry about what could be happening to my grandfather in such a short time. "Doctor, I need you to just tell me the truth. Did you call me here jus

The hands of grief stretched towards me, enveloping me in its tight embrace, leaving me with no space to think. The weight of the situation dawned on me. My grandfather was gone. How was I supposed to cope in his absence? Why did all of this happen so fast? Although I didn't weep, like my grandmother was doing I felt the hit in my chest. There was no way anyone could have told me a few months ago that my grandfather was going to pass and I would have believed them. I would have fought them to the last but here I was without anyone's comfort. I was filling such large shoes. The fact that he still had every hope of being alive gave me the push I needed, but right now, I didn't feel like I existed. I could feel the jitters run down my spine with no one understanding the gravity of what had happened."I'm sorry for your loss, Master Jordan." My new assistant spoke in the distance.Grief has a way of dealing with a person's psyche. I felt inadequate. I couldn't run to him whenever I had

Standing at the front of the school gate where I was once humiliated but now donating so much to them was a jump in the stratosphere of things and I loved how much I was willing to go far with getting things done. My first move was removing Mr. Braxton as the principal and making Mr. Hudson the head instead."I have never encountered such a change in social status sudden as this. Who would have ever imagined that Jordan, of all people, was going to be able to find answers that would fit into the school's problem? I would never have imagined that and I think it's the same with everyone here." I heard a few classmates whisper as I walked past them. Josh was my right-hand man because I wanted to improve his standard of living, and the only way to do that was to give him a job that would make him forget his poverty. A few students rallied around me as I moved but were unable to speak any ill words, unlike before, when they would have gone ahead to brandish me with different names. I ref

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
