2024-10-29 19:42:56Sasha couldn't believe her eyes and it seemed like magic as Alaric walked out of the store. Both she and Norton were surprised, and her eyes widened.
She felt like she had so much wronged him in the past, and was ready to put everything out. Just yesterday she insulted him and cursed him, choosing someone else over him, but she was feeling the love bloom again.
She was finding it in her heart to come closer to him.
Alaric made his way out of the store and was about to leave when he felt a pair of hands grabbing onto him. He stopped for a while, before turning around to see who it was.
Sasha.
She had a remorseful look on her face as if she wasn't happy with herself, and she clung to him tightly. Norton was furious as his girlfriend was going back to her ex.
"Sorry, Alaric. I doubted you and insulted you. I don't know why but I was blinded by status and fame, that of Norton. I see what it's like to be really in love. I am so much in love with you Alaric. Please accept me in your life," she cried.
Alaric didn't quite understand the whole situation. Why was she begging? After all she had done to him? She was the one who made sure to derogate his status and called him a lowlife, and she was here pleading for his mercy.
She definitely must have had a change of heart after figuring out that he was rich, he thought.
"Wait? If I'm not wrong, isn't that your boyfriend behind you?" Alaric jested, pointing at Norton, who had his fists tight, ready to throw a punch anytime soon.
"Sorry, Alaric. I never meant to hurt you in the first place. Please find it in your heart to forgive me," she pleaded.
He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"I think you should first…" he paused, grabbing her hands and moving them away. "Take these dirty hands off my body," he added, curling his lips. He turned around to leave, running his hands down his hairline.
"Alaric please!" She begged, with a much louder tone. It was pretty evident that she was remorseful.
Even if it was all an act, she needed an award for it.
"I'm sorry Sasha, but the time to forgive you is long gone. I think we had so many good moments together, but it's high time that you realize you can never win me back. From what you said yesterday, I could see how much of a golddigger you are," he mouthed furiously.
"What? Me?" She asked, with her eyes wide open.
"Yes you, Sasha. You can never be the one for me. I see that the only thing you care about is money, and you are only defined by it. There is nothing else that will satisfy you. You probably saw that I was well-loaded and you decided to ask for mercy right?"
"No Alaric, you're getting it all wrong. I'm serious and I truly lo…"
"Just shut up Sasha," he shunned. "Don't say any other word, or else…"
"Or else what?" Norton said, walking up to them and standing in between. "What the hell do you want to do to her?"
"Well, since the man of the house is here, I guess I'll have to leave. Norton, you better watch out for your woman, or else, I might take it out on her whenever I feel like it," he said, turning around to leave.
"I'm sure that's not your card. Come on Sasha, don't be fooled by him. Everyone here knows that this is not his card, and of course, he must have taken this card from someone, to deceive us and make us look at him like he's a rich fellow huh?"
That must be it. I know Alaric isn't this rich," Sasha added.
"I knew that you were cunning Sasha. Well, it is my card, and there's nothing any one of you two can do about it," Alaric defended, turning around to go.
"Come Alaric. You stole that card," Norton said, getting on his skin. Everybody concurred with him, and he turned to look at the saleswoman who was also nodding.
The scene attracted several other eyes in the massive store, and Alaric was angry that everyone was on Norton's side, including the saleswoman who he thought was on his side.
"The card is mine, Norton. Don't get on my skin, and just leave with your girlfriend," Alaric warned, wearing a serious face.
"You stole it. I also saw you stealing from the store, don't lie," he accused.
"What? Stealing from the store?" The saleswoman gasped in shock. Another woman, supposedly the manager, walked up to them.
"Now don't deny it Alaric. You stole from the store. I saw it for myself," Norton accused.
"What? You stole from our store?" The manager asked, surprised and a bit angry.
"Empty it, Alaric. You have to show us that you didn't steal from the store. Don't act all clean and innocent when we all know that you have done something that deserves punishment," Norton claimed.
Alaric's eyes rolled at Sasha. He knew that she wasn't so pleased with the entire situation, but she had to wear a good face as if she was okay with it.
He shook his head, denying the claims.
"This is why you can never be accepted on the school soccer team because of your classlessness. Look at the way you look, so tattered, and your behavior has proven it all. Now, you want to deny being a wretched folk?" Norton taunted.
"Shut your mouth okay? You'll soon watch how I get you out of that team."
"Enough of both your sports career goals. I need you to empty your pocket and make sure you bring it out before I call security to take it out on you," the manager threatened.
Alaric had no option. He had to do as they said to prove that he was innocent. Why would he steal anyways?
He was richer and better than that. He had to search his pocket inside out, a couple of things falling out into his hand and he placed them on the counter.
Unfortunately, one was a diamond hairpin. As their eyes rolled at it, they gasped in shock.
"What?!" The manager yelled, and Alaric couldn't believe his eyes.
What the hell was this?
He stole from the store?

The manager couldn't believe her eyes. This was one of the most expensive things on sale in the big store, and it was actually with Alaric. How the hell in the world was he able to get a hold of this without anyone knowing? Alaric looked shocked by everything that happened, and Sasha, together with her boyfriend Norton began laughing at him."I told you that he's just a thief who doesn't know how to control his appetite for luxury and steals them instead. What do you say about someone who can steal a diamond hairpin? I'm certain that he stole the card he used to pay the bills for the purse and necklace," Norton accused, firing immediately at Alaric. The manager's eyes rolled to the counter, scanning through everything it was that was on it until her eyes caught something. What? The Wright Ring? He had one with him? She was quite aware of how that ring could instill silence and could exert dominance over people. The Wright family was the greatest in the city. "T- that ring?" She s

Alaric walked out of the store after clearing all payments and saw the bemused faces of both Norton and Sasha. Reaching up to them, a smile ran across his face, in retort to their ugly faces. It was obvious that they were surprised. They were the first people to know who he is now, however, little did they know what he was planning to do with them. He was going to make sure that they lost their self-respect and dignity, and he was already building a master plan for it."Come on Sasha. Has it been so boring with your new boyfriend that you can't keep your ugly face off me?" He asked, wanting to taunt her. Her lips fitted into a curl, as she tucked several strands of hair behind her ear. She looked at Norton with a doubtful face. He knew what she meant by that. She was ready to go back to her past lover."You see Norton, this is just…""Don't tell me you want to go back to this loser, Sasha," he bawled. She shook her head."Don't say that! He is not a loser, Norton. I finally reali

"What is wrong with you Natalie? You know that you shouldn't be talking to a guest in such a manner," Kimberly scolded. The look on Natalie's face was baseless. Despite knowing that she hurt his feelings by insulting him, the puzzled look on her face only told that she wasn't an iota concerned. As usual, this was another opportunity to insult him, since that was what everyone always did."Come on Kimberly, you know I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. Look at this weirdo.""Geez," her friends hissed, and they all smirked, while Kimberly gave them a tough glower."Don't glare at me, Kim. You know that you shouldn't make friends like this. I thought you were supposed to be hanging out with Ace," she said. Alaric turned to Kimberly, with a befuddled look on his face. "Ace?" He asked."Don't mind what she's saying," she defended before I could say another word. He never meant to ask who Ace was, but then, it seemed like he had heard the name before. Maybe he was also the kind of pe

"Come on, Alaric, let's enjoy the party as you said. Why not meet my parents? I'm sure they will like me," Kimberly suggested."I don't think that will be a good idea at all. I'm not sure how your parents will react when they see me, and I know I am not so attractive, so they might have the wrong impression of me.""Don't say that Alaric, my parents are not like that. I'm sure that they will like you. Look, there are so many guests here. Why not mingle with everyone? I can show you to my friends, and some of my relatives," she said, smiling."Can I decline, please? Look, Kimberly, I don't think this would end up well. I don't know why, but I'm having this kind of horrible feeling towards that idea," he said, declining the idea. Alaric rolled his eyes at everyone here. She wasn't in any position to match up to their status. Well, with the way he looked. No one would consider him a gentleman, since he didn't dress elegantly. For him, it wasn't any use showcasing to everyone how influ

Alaric was furious at what happened, and how he was insulted by her family just now, and rushed down the hallway."Alaric, wait. Please don't get mad," Kimberly called, trying to chase after him. He reached near a post and leaned against it, trying to hide himself from the crowd."Alaric calm down. Come on, you shouldn't be doing this," she said, trying to pacify him. "I shouldn't be doing this, you say? I have every right to do this. I have every right to be annoyed because I was insulted for being poor. You are showing me that your parents wouldn't insult me, but I was humiliated because of my mediocre dress. I have every right to be angry," Alaric mouthed out, evidently angry at Kimberly. She sighed. Nothing was justifiable. He was wronged by her parents and family, and was once again insulted and humiliated."I said I'm sorry. I never knew my parents were like this. I never expected him to insult someone in the manner they just did.""An insult is an insult, Kim, and I was i

Several guests were handing a bunch of gifts to Kimberly, and she received them with perfect enthusiasm. Mr. Tate took the mic and called for the attention of everyone. Alaric folded his arms and watched as Kim's father would speak, with anticipation so obvious on his face."Good day everyone. I thank you for being a part of this wonderful celebration of my daughter's birthday. It's a great pleasure, and I want to give her the best gift of her life. Here, take them, these are the keys of a brand new Ford Gt Supercar," Mr. Tate said. Kimberly was shocked, and her eyes wide open. She thanked her father and hugged him."This must be his very best, huh?" Alaric scoffed in his mind. Kim's mother, Mrs. Humphrey, gifted her a new gold-plated phone, and a custom VR to match. Alaric snapped his fingers for the surprise. Two men pushed the trolley to the center of where they were gathered. "Good day ma'am, this is for you. A gift for you," one of the men said, as Alaric had commanded.

Alaric awoke to the sound of his alarm and groaned. His mouth hurt from the fight last night, and he didn't quite remember how it happened. Immediately, he took up his phone, and his eyes grew wide. His father had sent him the address of his new house, and he was excited about it. Quickly, he got dressed to go to his new home. Having just a pair of jeans in his wardrobe, he picked one of those and slid it on, with a white shirt. He left his house with high hopes. Stopping a cab, he showed the address to the driver, who didn't recognize it but took him to the nearest stop."Thanks," Alaric said, as he pulled out a $50 bill and paid the driver. He didn't know where to go, and it was as if he was in a different world. The places seemed so unfamiliar, and all he could see were mountainous houses. He decided to call his dad."Dad, I'm at the nearest stop to the address. Where do I go? Everywhere seems so bizarre," he said."Don't worry Alaric, they are coming for you very soon.""Wh

Alaric couldn't believe his eyes at what he saw. It was kind of untrue for her to live in this apartment all alone, but it was more suspicious that she was called Miss. He expected it to be his mother. She was a young lady, probably around his age or a few years older than him. Her curly blonde hair ran down her shoulders, and she wore a nice outfit, probably made by a designer He knew exactly who she was, but he dared to ask."Who are you?" He mouthed out the question, looking at her with unsure eyes. A smile ran across her lips, and she shook her head."I thought you should have known me by now," she said with a soft and calm tone, betoning her melancholic nature."I don't know you. If I did, I wouldn't have asked you about your identity.""You are finally here, which means that you can get everything you want. Make yourself at home, because this is definitely your home," she said, ignoring his question. He didn't want to let it slide."I don't know you, and I don't know wha

Evelyn was working in the office when suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up to see who was calling, and it was Mr. Steve. “Good day, Mr. Steve. Can I know why you are calling me? I am currently doing something at the office,” she said. “You need to come here right now, Miss Evelyn. Someone wants to see you, and she requests that you be here soon,” he said. “What? Who wants to see me?” She asked. “Someone in the household wants to meet with you.” “I don't really know if I have the chance to come because I have a lot of things to do right now, Mr. Steve. Can this meeting be scheduled later?” She asked. “It is not a business meeting, Miss Evelyn. In case you didn't hear me, I said that someone from the household wants to see you.” “The household? What do you mean by that, Mr. Steve?” She asked. “The mansion of the Wright family,” Mr. Steve said. “Really? A member of the mansion wants to see me?” She asked. “Yes. Come quickly, it's urgent.

"And your last wish?” Norton bowed his head, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes. “My last wish…”“Yes. Tell me.”“Please, forgive me. This is my last wish.” Alaric was surprised.“What?”“Yes, young master. That is my last wish. If you can grant me these three wishes, then I don't care if I die. I will live without regrets. I just want to make sure that my mother is okay, but if I have the forgiveness of the woman I love, and that of yours, then I am satisfied,” he said. Lucas was just staring at what was going on without saying a word.“So you want me to go and give your mother money?”“No, young master. Support her in any way you can is all I ask.

“Mom, Dad, look. We are finally getting back investors who left us before. They want to give us a second chance and invest in the company again. This is such great news and it's overwhelming,” Norton said, rushing down the stairs to meet his father and his mother who were in the living room. Mr. Jefferson turned around. “Really? Have our investors come back?”“Yes, Dad. Look at this, Mr. Peter said that he wants to give us a second chance and that we should not fail him this time. They want to invest in the company so that we can use the amount to produce and make a profit,” Norton explained.“That is very good news, son. You are doing a very good job when it comes to handling the company. This calls for a big celebration,” Mr. Jefferson said.“Dad, relax.

I am Inspector David Williams, the police officer who is in charge of the case in your company. I have two other police officers with me today, and an investigator,” he said, pointing at each one of them.“Good day, sir. I am Investigator Adam Phil,” he said, extending his hands. Alaric shook hands with the police officers.“It's good to see you all today. Our legal department reported a case and I'm happy that it's being looked upon,” he said.“Don't worry Mr Alaric.

The car pulled up at a cafe, and Evelyn wondered to herself why they had been at a cafe earlier and just arrived at another one“Is today all about drinking coffee?” She asked.“Funny joke, but no. It just happens to be my favorite venue for a meeting,” he said, as he stepped out. He went inside the cafe, and sat down, taking a table. One of the workers immediately walked up to him.“What can I get for you, sir? And your wife, ma'am?” He asked, looking at Alaric and Evelyn.“What?” Evelyn said in shock. “Wife? I'm not his wife.”“Don't mind her. She's going to be my future wife, but you know how shy women are. She's in the one I'm actually taking on a treat today. Wait a little while, the main character is coming,” he said. Evelyn, pissed by what Alaric was doing, began to mutter to herself.“Main character huh? Which means I am an ordinary character in this story. Well done, sir, for degrading me.” Alaric, seeing that she was beginning to get angry, smiled. “You know that you will

“Mr Donaldson told me himself that he was ready to take whatever penalty of his actions there was. He told me that if I wanted to kill him, his hands were wide open waiting for me. If the police would come, he would be at his house.”“So what do you want to do to him?”“He's the only one safe, father. He decided to turn from his evil ways and expose the truth. He didn't have anything personally against, and since you said none of them ever had an attack against the Wright empire, then, he is okay.”“And Mr. Tate?” He asked.“He might be the hardest to penetrate, but I will definitely find something against him,” Alaric said, his head immediately thinking of Kimberly. “Did he do anything to you?” Mr. Wright asked. Alaric was hesitant to answer the question, but he shook his head. “Nothing to the company, but to me, yes, father,” he said.“Then, what do you plan on doing to these people as a method of revenge?” Mr. Wright asked.“I want to put an end to all of them.

Mr. Wright was a little bit surprised. Something like that had never happened before and he was worried that something was wrong.“Hope everything is alright, son?”“There's nothing wrong, Dad. It’s just that I need your help for answers because I have questions that are disturbing my peace,” he said. Mr. Wright raised a brow. “Really? Then tell me, son,” he said. “Come have a seat,” he offered, pointing at the seat across his. Alaric sat down and looked at his father.“First, Dad, before we begin, I want you to promise me something,” he said.“What is that, son?”“I want you to promise me that you will tell me the truth no matter what,” he said. The question made Mr. Wright feel worried that something was wrong. “Son, are you sure everything is alright?” Mr. Wright asked again to be sure.“I am perfectly fine, father. As long as you decide to tell me the truth of the whole story, then every answer I need will be clear to me,” he said.“I promise to tell you the truth, then, son,”

Evelyn, surprised by how he was able to guess every single thing that was happening to her, tried to hide her shocked expression. “H… how?”“Don't worry, Evelyn. I told you that I would make sure you realize your love for me, and this is just the first step towards it. Look how you were able to calm me down without even doing much. That is the effect of your presence in my life,” he said. Tapping on the button that winded down the windows, he snapped his finger at the guard outside. He entered the car and ignited the engine.“Take me to the mansion. I want to see my father,” he commanded, and the guard nodded. Meanwhile, Evelyn, who hadn't said a word, rested a finger on her lips as she reminisced the feeling of Alaric's kiss that sent jolts of electricity throughout her body. The car drove to the mansion as Alaric had commanded. Evelyn was a little bit worried that he didn't decide to drop her off at the office, and she wondered why he was taking her with him.“Young master,” sh
