The Midnight Heir DRINKING DESTINATION
After she finished saying the word she greeted Anthony with, Marilyn had a huge smile on her face but Anthony on the other hand looked apathetic to seeing her. They stood where they were, staring at each other for a full fifteen seconds and nobody took it upon themselves to reduce the gap between them. Marilyn got annoyed by that because it showed that Anthony wasn't excited to see her which to an extent also meant he didn't care for their drink date as much as she did. "Don't just stand there, come here and lemme get a good look at you" Marilyn said when from the distance she noticed a difference in Anthony's appearance so she wanted to closer and better look. She gestured aggressively that he comes to her. Anthony rolled his eyes and huffed before dropping his hands from the door handle and walking over to Marilyn's car with his hands in his pockets. He wanted this to be over as soon as possible. When he finally stopped in front of her, the excited look she was having as she loo
The Midnight Heir MEETING IN THE KITCHEN
"You could have told me that this is where you were planning to bring me," Anthony said with an annoyed look in his eyes.He didn't like the fact that the same location he was to have his dinner date with his wife was going to be the same place Marilyn had planned their drinks together.Deep down it felt like her presence here was desecrating somewhere that was supposed to be special for him and his wife and the thought of that got him offended.Marilyn chuckled, locking her car with the remote on her car key before stuffing it into her purse and saying "And why in the world would I have done that? This was supposed to be a surprise after all so only an idiot would expect me to ruin the surprise ahead of time"Anthony creased his forehead and grunted from hearing her reason for not telling him ahead of time.Marilyn looked at him slyly and asked condescendingly "You're not an idiot now are you, Favorite?"Anthony refrained from saying anything back and his silence made Marilyn smirk,
The Midnight Heir MICHAEL SPEAKS UP
With guilt-ridden eyes, most of the male and some of the female workers looked at each other, grimacing like they were trying their best to say something but were holding themselves back before they all finally threw their faces away from who they were just looking at.Casey watched all of them with a shocked expression on her face because she could tell that they were hiding the truth from her and wanting them to say something she stepped forward and was about to pressure them into speaking but Michael quickly stopped her.Michael extended his hand to block her path which caused Casey to jolt into pausing in her current spot then she look at Michael, surprised at why he was stopping her or what he wanted to do."Michael?" Casey mumbled with a creased forehead but stopped when she saw the look Michael was giving her then she calmed down, knowing exactly what her friend wanted."Let me do this," Michael said before he clenched his fists then dropped that extended hand of his to his sid
The Midnight Heir A REAL PUNCH
Seeing the number of people victimized by Marilyn without her knowing how bad the things happening under her nose actually was until now made Casey angry.Out of all the staff, only she had been the one defending Marilyn against Michael and some of the other staff here anytime they acted weird whenever Marilyn's name was brought up in a conversation.However, now that she finally knows what the cause of their reaction was, Casey felt devastated and so she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and punched downwards."I can't believe I actually supported her just because she's a woman in a place of power and not because of her character. Fuck! I've always had a good sense of people so how come I was this blinded until now?!" Casey asked herself as she scrubbed her teeth together, feeling like she was about to tear up from the guilt she felt."It's alright Casey, it's not your fault that you didn't see her bad side because she hid it so well that I doubt anyone else would have. The fact
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,

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
