The Midnight Heir HEARTBEAT
The elevator doors opened on the final floor and Tessa stepped out, practicing what she was going to say to Anthony when she sees him.She hadn't actually forgotten to drop her half of the access card when she and her siblings were moving out but she had purposely taken it with her.She even made sure to move out when Anthony wasn't around so that he couldn't ask her for it.She did that so that she would have an excuse to come back and see him since they might not see each other that often because of how far from here her new place is.To go from seeing someone you're interested in every day to only hearing from them via phone call was a quick change she didn't like. Even though they didn't stay together for long, not even a week, Anthony still left an impression.Why wouldn't she when he protected her from multiple armed men, gave her a place to stay, paid off her debt, put the people who were after her in jail, and helped save and reunite her with her younger siblings?Anthony had
The Midnight Heir EYES
"Fuck!" Tessa exclaimed then turned to the door in a rush."I should go get Cain, he would know what to do," she said then started to drop Anthony's body on the floor so she could rush out.However, she thought that if she leaves Anthony now then would they be able to revive him by the time she and Cain come back?She has no idea when his heart stopped so it could have been a second before she checked or an hour but one thing she knew is that if she leaves now then there was definitely no hope of his heart beating again.Tessa's heart was racing but there was only one option she saw right now. She had to do it herself.Tessa went down on her knees beside Anthony and started giving him CPR."Come in Silver, wake up. Do it for me and if not me then do it for Annabelle. You can't just die like this, you don't deserve it" she said while doing the CPR and counting in her mind.After a whole minute of CPR and Anthony's heart still wasn't beating, she got frustrated and so she started poundi
The Midnight Heir GETTING HELP
Tessa whose curiosity got the better of her leaned closer to Anthony’s face, regardless of her better judgment because she wanted to confirm if what she saw was real.“Open your eyes Silver, I want to check something,” she said.“What do you mean my eyes are glowing? Is that what you want to confirm?” Anthony asked as he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.Once she saw what she was looking for, Tessa grimaced and was speechless for some seconds.“Tell me, are they glowing or not?” He asked her.Tessa smacked her tongue confusedly then said “Umm, they are not. I guess I was wrong, maybe?”The room was dark so if they were glowing it would be obvious but there was nothing.It left Tessa even more confused because she had no idea what was going on or why she would imagine Anthony’s eyes glowing. It made no sense.“The intensity of the lights from the bulbs before they exploded must have temporarily damaged your pupils. Why didn’t you close your eyes when it was happening?” Anthony ask
The Midnight Heir DRIVEN TO ANGER 2
Parked along the road of Vintgate District, just in front of the restaurant and bar Anthony took Tessa’s siblings to which was also Vinny’s favorite place to hang out with his gang, was a taxi.The taxi driver was on a call and from the face he was making, he wasn’t in a good mood.“How many times am I going to tell you that I’m still looking for money for the bill? Stop hassling me!” The taxi driver yelled into the phone.[“Oh really? Then why can’t I hear the sound of the road if you’re working that hard?!”] the person on the other side yelled back.“What do you mean the sound of the road?!” [“The sound of the road, stupid! The sound of other cars driving by. You’re not driving are you?!”]“Of course, I’m not driving! How would I be answering your call if I was driving? You just want to yell at me and take out your frustrations don’t you cause this isn’t a reason to be angry!”[“Oh really? That’s why I divorced you in the first place. Our daughter is in the hospital and instead of
The Midnight Heir DEMON
The taxi driver drove Anthony to the alley of a deserted street where he parked, turned off the engine, and faced Anthony at the back."We're here son in law. Before I forget, in case you want to try something stupid and call someone for help, you should already know by now that I'm not going to let that happen" The driver said then reached for Anthony's pockets.He dabbed all of Anthony's pants pockets until he felt Anthony's phone and grinned wickedly."Let's just get rid of this before it causes problems," the driver said then pulled out the phone."Don't touch that—" Anthony said tiredly as he grabbed the driver's wrist and was struggling with him. Unfortunately, his strength right now isn't what it used to be."Gimme that!" The driver said furiously then forced his hand from Anthony's grip.The driver assessed the phone and what condition it was in and then he said "Nice looking phone. No use destroying it when I can sell it for some cash"The driver stuffed the phone into his po
The Midnight Heir INCREASED STRENGTH
The wind blew through the alley and every hair on Anthony's body stood. He had a chilling sensation all over his body as he felt the breeze run through every single strand of hair on the exposed parts of his body.It was a very strange sensation he was feeling. His entire skin felt sensitive to any stimuli."What was that—" Anthony asked himself then looked down at his hands and paused then said, "What is this?"His eyes widened in shock at what he was seeing.He swayed his hands around while flailing his fingers and he could see the air around his hands being moved by the motions he was making."What am I seeing? Why am I— What is this? This looks… bizarre" Anthony mumbled in disbelief.Just then, he heard one of the guy's teeth clanking rapidly which pulled his attention toward him.This particular guy was the closest to any of the cars and when Anthony looked at him, he could see the heat radiating from the engine in a reddish color.Anthony stopped looking at any of the guys and f
The Midnight Heir ON THE OFFENSIVE
"Hey Vinny, what's this rumor I'm hearing that has to do with The Overseer? What do you think it could be all about?" One of Vinny's gang members asked as they were walking and smoking on the road."What makes you think I would have any ideas? Knowing anything the Overseer does is way above my pay grade" Vinny answered.The gang member who asked the question smacked his tongue in disappointment and then mumbled "You don't ever know anything important that's going on in the Mob. So much for a leader"All the other members of the gang gasped as they hurriedly looked at this member."What?" The members asked before looking at an angry Vinny and realizing he had said what he just did out and Vinny had heard him being disrespectful."Oh shit!" The member covered his mouth and Vinny started walking up to him "Vinny, you know I didn't mean what I just said right? It was a slip of the tongue—""No, repeat what you just said to my face. Don't be a wuss about it and say it with your chest" Vinn
The Midnight Heir HEARING RANGE
Pulling Frank through the broken car window delivered many cuts on his body, especially his face and arms. Anthony also sustained a few cuts too but at the moment he couldn't feel any pain.Once he threw him, Frank didn't just hit the ground but he bounced and rolled a couple of times before skidding and stopping after hitting the pile of unconscious bodies which were his friends.Anthony raised his hands to his face and looked at them with amazement."It wasn't my intention to throw him that hard but look how far he went. This strength reminds me of Satyre's but not completely. With this power I could maybe surpass her" he said then grinned as he was filled up with adrenaline.Only a couple of hours ago and he was depressed about not having enough strength to protect those he cared about which was mainly Annabelle and now he has this much power coursing through his veins.The only question is, where did it come from, and why he of all people? Anthony was too enthralled in what was go

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
