The Midnight Heir CALL IT EVEN
“Because of how we got in contact to work on this together Sir, you should already know that I’ve been working with our mutual friend for a long time and that’s why he had enough trust to request me for this task,” Mr. Young said, referring to Investigator Kim.Anthony nodded his head in understanding.“Well, because of how long I’ve been doing this, this isn’t the first time I’ve come to get some evidence against someone in this exact hotel. That’ll also mean that it isn’t my first time seeing that woman here with someone before” Mr. Young said, flicking his head at Marilyn and her eyes shone wide.“At first it was a coincidence that I ran into her and the bartender taking someone up in the elevator but because I had a job to do I paid it no mind. It was when I had another job and then saw her and the same bartender taking another person to a room that I decided to take note of her” Mr. Young said and Marilyn started to tremble that he knew of her other escapades.“While doing my oth
The Midnight Heir GERALD’S PROPOSAL
“What are you doing here?!” Marilyn asked as she tilted her head and scowled.In front of her was Gerald who supported the weight of his body by having a hand on the wall right next to the door hinges, hunched as he pants.Marilyn jolted and creased her forehead when something about him caught her attention.She leaned forward a bit, sniffed around him then she looked utterly disgusted, saying “And you’re drunk. Who said you can come up to my room while smelling like a brewery, huh you idiot?!”“In fact, who said you can come up to my room period?! Do you really want to get fired that bad because that’s what it seems like? This is the second time you’re getting on my nerves”Gerald burped then said “Yeah, I know I’m asking for it but you have to listen to me for a second Mari— I mean madam”Gerald burped again “Sorry bout that but like I was saying, the other staff have all banded together over what happened between you and them and now they’re looking for you to challenge you…”Geral
The Midnight Heir TEARY EYED
“What did you just say to me?!” She asked aggressively as she squeezed tightly on his neck to choke him out. She was also raising him to his tiptoes.“What was that you said about wanting my skin on your skin?! I might not know what you were talking about but is this what you meant by that? How do you like it when I do this?!” Marilyn asked, giggling because she could take out all her frustration on him.Gerald was gagging, trying his best to free his neck from her grip as about to pass out but he couldn’t because she was just too powerful.Thinking that it was over for him, just then, Marilyn looked out through the doorway to check on the cameras outside by the passage, and seeing them made her smack her tongue.“Hmmm, we don’t want anyone else finding out what we’re doing no do we?” she said then smiled as she looked at Gerald’s teary eyes “You said you’ll keep my secret right? So, let’s see how much you can be quiet for”Marilyn dragged Gerald into the room and then closed the door
The Midnight Heir FLAMBOYANT DELIVERY
Annabelle had been pulled by Anthony far enough and the reason why she came here in the first place kept pricking her mind to the point that she couldn’t be quiet anymore.“Anthony, can we stop for a moment so that we can talk?” Annabelle asked as she tried planting herself on the ground so that Anthony couldn’t continue pulling her easily.Anthony grunted as he stopped then he shrugged and said “Okay” before letting go of her hand.He turned to face her because she seemed like she had something very important she wanted to say to him.Annabelle took in a deep breath to prepare herself because of how fast her heart was beating. This was a question that could change her entire world so it had a lot of weight.When she was ready she blurted “Anthony, are you—“ but she couldn’t finish the question.She got cold feet from looking into his eyes and so she couldn’t go ahead with the question anymore. “I mean, what in the world was that just now?! How did you know that bad person? Why do yo
The Midnight Heir GUSTAV’S CONFESSION
Anthony chuckled, feeling gassed up by the compliment. Annabelle also wanted to blush but she was more concerned about who this masked person was so she didn't let his compliment sway her."Another one?" Annabelle mumbled, thinking it was someone like Mr. Young here to give Anthony something."I'm guessing these are the items we arranged for?" Anthony asked, pointing at the covers and bag in Gustav's hand."Yes, of course, Sir," Gustav said energetically as he pushed them towards Anthony so that he could have them, fulfilling the delivery."Since it's you, you don't have to sign any inconvenient order fulfillment papers either""Thanks" Anthony collected all three items from Gustav and that was supposed to be when Gustav takes his leave but two of them couldn't help but wonder why Annabelle had her eyes fixed on Gustav."What's the problem, Annabelle?" Anthony asked his wife who was leaning oddly close to try and get a better look at Gustav.Annabelle grimaced "I don't know, but I hav
The Midnight Heir LET’S GO
Gustav placed his hand on top of the first cover and started to rub it caressingly. That was the cover with Annabelle’s cobalt blue dinner gown in it.“Like you already know Sir, after you inspired me back at the shop to make your suit I just couldn’t rest once done. My next move was to make a Gustav unmatched dinner gown for your wife” Gustav said before taking his hand off the cover and holding his hands together behind him.“I know that but what does that have to do with anything?” Anthony asked.Gustav smiled nervously and said “Well, what I failed to mention is that until now I had no idea what your wife looked like and I might have told you that I used the measurements of the dress you picked to get an idea of what to do but that was not entirely true”Anthony tilted his head in curiosity and asked “What are you trying to say, Designer Gustav?”“I had no idea what your wife looked like so I imagined her for myself. I put hair on top of head and face, face on top of neck, and nec
The Midnight Heir THE EMPEROR’S FLOOR
Annabelle remained quiet and just complied as Anthony took her to the elevator which they got into and when the doors closed he focused on the buttons there.Just like how the floors get more and more luxurious the higher up you go, so does how unique and beautiful the buttons for those floors look in the already gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup and there was notably a significant gap between it and the one directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button leads to and the one under it were day and night apart.“The Emperor floor,” Anthony said the moment he identified the button and then he wasted no time pressing it.Unlike the other buttons that push in and return to normal immediately, the Emperor floor button went inside after being pushed and didn’t return.Instead, the button vanished comp
The Midnight Heir I AM
Anthony and Annabelle looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space."Thank you," Anthony said then looked down at all six of them and asked, "So which one of you should I be addressing from now on?"Out of all three wearing the normal hotel uniform which was a black pants suit, the one with a black inner collar shirt and gold cufflinks was the first to stand straight and walk closer to Anthony."That would be me, sir. My name is Ludwig and I'll be your butler for the evening" Ludwig said with a hand on his chest then the other five also stood up straight, smiling gleefully to see Anthony."Nice to meet you, Ludwig," Anthony said, stretching his hand for a handshake which Ludwig looked at in shock and reservation."What's the problem? Don't you shake hands or is that a part of the rules here or something?" Anthony asked after it had been some secon

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

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
