"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
"Is there anything wrong? Why don't you want your luggage brought over here?" His sister asked him."Well, uh, I think everything is happening so quickly, and I never expected it," he said, grinning it off."All right, young master. If you already approve of it, I will order for your luggage to be brought over here.""Okay. 52, Corton Street, along Horvmont Road.""Expect your luggage soon, sir," the man said. He turned around to leave, but Alaric stopped him."You said your name was Daniel right?""Yes sir. I am Daniel, and if you may ask, I am Miss Caroline's personal assistant and merc," he said. Alaric turned to Caroline. "Yes, he is," she confirmed."Thanks, Daniel. I really appreciate your help. Without the warm approach you used towards me, I would have lost seeing a family member today," he said."Don't mention it, young master," Daniel said. "I shall leave now." He turned around and left. Alaric sighed. "So, sis, what's next?" He asked Caroline."I think you will have to
They drove all the way to the Villa. The convoy attracted public eyes, and Alaric could witness it from inside the car. It was the first time in his life he felt like he was on top of the world."How long is it going to take?" He asked Steve, who was seated in the passenger's."It's a long drive, Master. It will take about an hour before we reach. The Villa is very far away," he explained. Why build a mansion, and a Villa? Alaric asked himself questions to which he didn't have an answer. It was a long drive. An hour in the car was making him feel a little bit sick, and the anxiety running through him made it worse. He now wanted to see his family so badly. He wanted to see what they were like and wanted the wait to be over so quickly. The car halted, as other cars on the lane did too."We have arrived," Steve said. Alaric felt his stomach drop. Suddenly, he was feeling nauseous. Maybe it was too much of a bundle of joy, that it made his stomach jitter. Steve stepped out of th
