The Midnight Heir SWIRL
“Hmm!” Anthony grunted suspiciously as he peered right at the glass while he swirled it in his hand.Marilyn took her first sip before she paid attention to what Anthony was doing then getting nervous that he wasn’t going to drink it, she asked “What’s the matter Favorite? Aren’t you going to drink it? You know it’s rude to refuse a peaceful offering from someone right?”She tried her best to keep a nonchalant tone so as not to come of like she was instigating Anthony to drink. She knew that if he found out her intention was to get him to do just that then Anthony would out right refuse just to spite her.She was going for the reverse psychology trick.“Is that right?” Anthony said apathetically then he turned to look at her by his side, still swirling the glass in hand “Sorry to say but I don’t have good drinking etiquette because I don’t drink. Never have”Anthony shrugged then stopped looking at her before turning to face and look at the bar attendant who couldn’t stop himself from
The Midnight Heir KNOCKED OUT
Anthony covered his mouth to burp before facing a shocked Marilyn while looking confused at her reaction himself and asking "What's the problem? You seem like you've just seen a ghost of something"Anthony's question didn't register immediately with Marilyn which made him frown at how strangely she and the bartender were both looking at him.But then, Marilyn who finally got what she wanted because Anthony drank the spiked drink snapped out of her shock and tried to act normally.She smiled from ear to ear, saying "Oh, it's nothing Favorite. I was just surprised that you would drink after saying how uninterested you are with alcohol, that's all. It was just an unconscious response so don't mind me"While she talked nicely to distract Anthony, Marilyn gently raised her feet from the bartender's hand then she snapped her fingers, and then flicked it in Anthony's direction to signal him to go do something for her."Hmm" Anthony grunted skeptically before looking down at his empty glass t
The Midnight Heir GERALD OFFERS HELP
Back inside the kitchen of the Grand Blue Restaurant where the meeting was just about rounding off, Michael stared at everyone there with prepared looks on their faces then he nodded his.“Is everyone clear on the plan?” He asked and they all clenched their fists In confirmation “Great, so like I said we’re going to drive down to the hotel and stop Favorite from drinking whatever spiked cup of alcohol Marilyn and that damn bartender have planned to use. Let’s go!” Michael exclaimed enthusiastically and everyone shifted around to start heading out.Just then, Gerald stepped forward toward Michael and said “I like the energy and I want to contribute in some way so why don’t you all allow me to drive us to the Mercury hotel”Gerald extended his hand to Casey who had the restaurant’s delivery van keys with her and she looked at him and then at Michael who stared at Gerald with shock.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Gerald asked after feeling strange because of Michael’s and Casey’
The Midnight Heir GERALD’S TRUTH
“Hey, I know I haven’t delivered in a while but don’t they only lock the pedals with the pedal lock when we’re closing off for the day?” Micheal asked Casey who has done more deliveries than he has and she came to the driver’s door as well to check what he was talking about.“Yeah, that’s right. Is there something wrong?” Casey asked before she reached the driver’s seat and found out that the pedals had been locked.Just then, Henry who went somewhere else when they all rushed outside to find Gerald ran towards Michael and Casey at the front of the van with a panicked look on his face.Pointing towards where he just ran from, Henry said “Hey guys, I just came from where Gerald usually parks his moped and I can’t find it anywhere. I think it’s been stolen or something!”Michael and Casey widened their eyes in confusion before they started to think about everyone, trying to make sense of it.“Gerald’s sudden interest in wanting to help drive, him vanishing when we all turned our backs,
The Midnight Heir JOSH AND COLLIN
Casey drove them to the Mercury Hotel and just when they were entering the parking lot to find somewhere to park the van, from the passenger seat Michael saw Marilyn's car, leaned forward, and pointed at it."Look, that's where she's parked!" He exclaimed and it got Casey's attention."Don't worry, I see it!" Casey said then diverted from where she originally planned to park the van and drove them next to Marilyn's car which was where she ended up parking.Once parked, all of them hurried outside the van and circled Marilyn's car to see if she was still inside or not."She's not here which only means that she's already in the hotel and there's only one place she'll be in there, the bar—" Michael said while standing by the passenger's door of Marilyn's car but was interrupted when Casey called out to him."Michael come check this out!" she said which made Michael and the others on that side of the car with him to quickly rush to Casey."You see this motorcycle, it belongs to Favorite a
The Midnight Heir ROOM 306
Both Josh and Collin shrugged and said in unison "Sure, that doesn't seem like it'll be an issue"Collin continued "As long as Casey is one of those people and she promises to keep the rest two on their best behavior while inside then three can go in"Henry nodded his head then turned to face the others as they were going to do a group huddle and plan who those two other people were going to be."Alright, who should we pick as the two people that'll follow Casey in?" Michael asked and the others all looked at him which made him grimace in confusion."What are you all looking at me for?" Michael asked and they laughed and chuckled."Isn't it obvious that you should be the one to go in already?" "Yeah, if it wasn't for you and Casey then we wouldn't be doing this in the first place and most of us would have been dying inside in silence for what happened to us. It's only right that you represent us from this point onward"Two of the staff said and from the murmurs of the others, they we
The Midnight Heir ESSENTIAL OIL
Michael, Casey, and Henry all rushed to the elevator and when the doors opened, it already had someone inside so they tried to comport themselves while that person who was in there with them had their phone tightly gripped in their hand.They and that person greeted each other before Michael pressed the bottom for the third floor and the elevator started to go up.The bar was on the first floor so they needed to go up two more floors before getting to their destination. All three of them waited at the front of the elevator, closer to the door while the extra person stood there at the back.As they ascended, Henry couldn’t help himself but sneak side glances at the other person in the elevator there with them and as a result, he kept blushing.“What a beautiful woman. Wonderful orange hair and such mesmerizing eyes like they can warm the coldest of hearts. I want to ask her for her name so bad but I’m too intimidated to” Henry thought to himself as his heart raced and then he shook his
The Midnight Heir WRING ROOM
The door gently opened and already being prepared for it, Casey and Michael both slammed their bodies into it, forcing the door to be pushed forward all the way.As a result, they ended up knocking back the person on the other side who was opening it but the two of them didn’t care as they ran inside because it was Marilyn, or at least that’s what they thought.“Hey Favorite, where are you?! Are you okay?” Michael asked frantically as he looked around the room, trying to find Anthony.“You have to get out of here Favorite! You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into by accepting Marilyn’s invite—“ Casey said but was interrupted from behind.Henry cleared his throat to get their attention then said “Umm” before he gulped.“Hey guys, I think you should turn around for a second and see something,” Henry said with an embarrassed grimace and tone, and his words made both Casey and Michael curious enough to do as he suggested.“What’s the problem Henry?” Michael asked as he started to

ADOPTIVE SON ARC FINALE
Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while
SPONSOR PT5
Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

"Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
