Annabelle's room was completely dark and because he hadn't gotten the time to rest since his exit from The Oat Stone Villa in Haven, sitting and watching his wife sleep was such a peaceful experience that he didn't know when he slept right next to her. Although uncomfortable, he maintained his balance on the small chair, body staying perfectly still so as not to stain any part of the room with his bloodied hands.

Finally, the drug in Annabelle's system had worn off and because the last thing she remembered was Benjamin's lustful eyes and feeling his hands trying to get her naked before she lost consciousness, when Annabelle regained said consciousness she continued from that state of fear and panic, screaming for help as she hurried sat upright.

She flailed her arms energetically in self defense before realizing the difference in her surroundings. Before she was surrounded by the brightness of the outside world but right now it was some dark place she was is. It took some intent obser

    "What took you so long?! I thought I was never going to see you again, Anthony! Do you know how miserable I was all by myself in that school? You should have found me sooner!" she said loudly, obviously showing signs that she wanted him to comfort her but he was hesitant.He wanted to hug her back and even rub her head to let her know that he was there for her more than anything but looking at his arms, the light from the lamp made the dried up blood on his hands look more dirty and disturbing than it actually was and he didn't want to touch and stain her innocent and clean skin with that.He was filled with second guessing himself but what he didn't expect was when Annabelle stopped hugging him for a brief moment, reached for his right hand herself and placed it on her head while his other hand she helped guide it and wrapped it around her waste, placing it gently on her back, with the tip of his middle finger being less than an inch away from touching her panties."But Annabelle, my

    Out of all of them, he picked the one which was a light desert dish having a lot of sugar in the ingredients and the maid went to him, lowered herself to hand him the dish which he took before she went back to stand with the rest on the line. The sugar was to replenish all he had lost during this case.Patience continued "I know a hotel might seem like a good choice for comfort but I can wholeheartedly tell you Mr. Dana that there is nothing as comforting as being home so if you would have called me ahead of time, I would have suggested that you bring this distinguished guest of yours and I and my family would have taken care of him like he's one of our own, showing the best of what hospitality can be, isn't that right kids?" She said, bringing her children and grandchildren into the mix and they not expecting this started to laugh nervously, agreeing to whatever she had said.An awkward amount of time had past and they didn't know when it had been long enough so Patience was beginnin

    Instantly, Patience leaned so far forward so fast that she almost lunched herself off her own chair. Her fingers sunk deep into the armrest, almost leaving claw marks on the material."Midnight?! Pardon my disbelief Mr. Dana but you mean the actual Midnight family, right?! The number one out of the seven progenitor families, that Midnight family?!" She asked with widened eyes, looking very energetic and standing on the edge of disbelief but she also knew that Mr. Rose Dana wasn't someone that would lie about something like this."What? Progenitor family? What are you talking about, Grandmother?" Julius asked, forehead creased while staring surprisingly at at Patience and the rest of the family were looking like they shared the same sentiment as him, having no idea what Patience was talking about.The name Midnight is common worldwide, most especially within people of similar social status as the Maples. However, what isn't common and is only a rumor is the fact that they are the proge

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 127: COMPROMISE

    She was clearly offended and tried to come up with a way around it "Mr. Dana, there's no need to be hasty with your decision. I hadn't even given a date to when I'll like to have the party, yet. There's a lot of planning that comes with a celebration as big as the one I would like to have so you and Master Midnight can just hold up on the decision of declining and I'm sure that when you're both less busy, it'll be the perfect time for my party. I'm sure you won't have an excuse not to attend then, am I right Mr. Dana?" she said, smirking because she had just set a trap for Mr. Rose Dana.The trap was, she would keep tabs on the two so that she would set the party when she knows they aren't busy and as such the likelihood of them attending would be very high, even though they can just go ahead and decline if they want but she hoped on the contrary.She saw Mr. Rose Dana as someone who wouldn't want to bring tension in a relationship between him and her family so he wouldn't try to seem

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 128: DISLOYALTY

    "Exactly what I just said Lady Maple!" Mr. Rose Dana said facing Patience before turning to face Anthony beside her and then gesturing at him "I don't see why this young fellow can't be my escort, it's all the same to me anyway" he smiled, acting his role perfectly.Patience not wanting Anthony to have anything to do with someone as influential as Mr. Rose Dana became irritated by this and the possibility of a relationship ever forming between the two was a fear she never knew she had until now. She thought he might try to sabotage all the hard work she's put into setting up the meeting with Mr. Rose Dana's master, having absolutely no idea that both Anthony and him were the same person.As such, she tried her best to put this situation down before it could go anywhere. This is because, in delicate discussions between two influential parties, every single moment is vital and a simple escort can mean the difference between closing a deal and completely destroying it, making both involv

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 129: RETURN TO THE AUTOMOBILE SHOP

    All the caterers and the Maples looked at him, wondering what was wrong. Knowing well that he wouldn't like to get into the details of what went down during that very brief exchange between him and Anthony, Vlad pretended like he had tripped over something and got up immediately. He looked at all the caterers with an intimidating face"What are all of you looking at?! The guests are all gone so you can go to your stations, now!" He yelled then turned to the Maples, bowed his head to great them goodbye before walking off to go to his post. He kept clenching his fist and releasing it every few seconds as he thought about how stupid he had been.Patience who was watching him leave, thought that Vlad must have been angry about Anthony taking his place in the escort and so she didn't pry into his anger, saying "That stupid dog, I'll teach him a lesson once he gets back!" She sneered.Outside the mansion, Anthony and the rest had gotten to the cars. The two soldiers had returned to their tr

    "Excuse me?!" Anthony halted with a surprised face, taken aback by the brashness of the manager's words which seemed to have come straight out of nowhere. "Appears like I'm going deft but did you just tell me that I'm not welcomed here?!" Anthony asked with a creased forehead of disbelief.The manager who had his arms folded walked even closer to Anthony in an attempt to impose himself more. The fact that he was taller and had more muscles than Anthony was giving him a lot of confidence to speak in any way he wanted. When he was satisfied with how close they both were, he forcefully pointed at the door "That's right, I said get the hell out of my shop!"Anthony who was getting better at controlling his emotions was being lenient with the manager. First, he had to assess things in his head, he knew that he hadn't done anything wrong and he dressed okay enough to not be seen as a crook so him being chased from the shop wasn't making any sense to him. Calmly he followed where the manager

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 131: ANTHONY’S RETRIBUTION

    "That's right, two hundred thousand dollars! That's the only amount I'm gonna sell so you can just get the hell out of here because I know someone like you can't afford it!" The manager smirked and the sales rep with the red suit finally understood the game the manager was playing.There was no way they could see the bike to Anthony when they had already sold it to someone they saw as very dangerous so the only thing to do is ridicule Anthony with the price and make him leave on his own, shame ridden.At first, Anthony had wanted to challenge the price but from the way they all looked at him, he instantly knew they wanted to embarrass him and so he frowned, looking straight at the manager and saying "Two thousand dollars, is that all? No problem then, I'll pay it right now!""What!" The manager exclaimed, getting angry "There's no way you can ever afford something like that!" He yelled, looking at Anthony up and down and being sure that Anthony was lying through his teeth about being a

    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

    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
