Chapter Five
Vincent found himself caught in the whirlwind of an extraordinary and dangerous event. With his heart pounding against his chest, he glanced around nervously, his eyes darting from one side to another.As Vincent turned a corner, he noticed two colossal figures, dressed in impeccably tailored black suits, standing beside an expensive, black-tinted SUV.Their stern expressions and bulging muscles made their presence known. A sense of authority emanated from them, leaving no doubt in Vincent's mind that they were bodyguards.Curiosity sparked within him, and before he could think twice, Vincent found himself drawn closer to the enigmatic scene.From his vantage point, he could see that the SUV exuded an aura of power and luxury. Its gleaming black exterior reflected the city lights, blending seamlessly with the urban backdrop.Suddenly, as if by some unspoken cue, the two bodyguards turned their heads in Vincent 's direction.Their gaze pierced through him, locking onto his trembling form. Panic surged within him, urging him to flee, but his feet seemed rooted to the ground.In a swift, synchronized motion, the bodyguards approached Vincent , their confident strides echoing with each step.Their stern faces betrayed no hint of emotion as they encircled him. With a firm grip on each arm, they gently but assertively guided him towards the open door of the SUV.Vincent 's heart raced, his mind flooded with unanswered questions. Who were these imposing men, and what was their purpose? Was he in danger, or was this an unexpected stroke of fortune?The interior of the vehicle was a world unto itself. Luxurious leather seats, immaculate craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art technology blended seamlessly to create an atmosphere of opulence.The scent of rich leather and the gentle hum of the engine greeted Vincent as he was ushered into the plush back seat.Once inside, the bodyguards released their grip, allowing Vincent to breathe again. He found himself alone, momentarily enveloped by a silence that seemed out of place within the pulsating city. The only sound that resonated through the vehicle was the soft purr of the idling engine.In the back seat of the sleek black SUV, Vincent sat anxiously, his mind racing with anticipation. The leather upholstery embraced him, its smoothness adding a touch of comfort to his restless nerves. He adjusted his clothes nervously , straightening it for what felt like the hundredth time, his eyes darting to the rearview mirror in search of any sign of her arrival.And then, like a vision materializing from the depths of his imagination, she appeared. A stunning woman, draped in an elegant business attire that exuded both power and allure.Her curves accentuated every inch of her figure, highlighting her confidence and femininity. Her dark, cascading hair fell gracefully over her shoulders, framing a face that could launch a thousand ships.As she approached the SUV, the world seemed to slow down. Her eyes, a captivating shade of emerald green, locked with Vincent 's, causing his heart to skip a beat.The corners of her lips curled into a subtle smile, teasing him with a glimmer of mystery and excitement.She slid into the back seat, her movements effortlessly graceful. The scent of her perfume lingered in the air, a delicate fragrance that hinted at passion and ambition.Her eyes sparkled with a gleam of triumph, as if she held the key to a treasure trove of possibilities.“This is not someone that I expect to see , why did you kidnap me? What do you want from me ?” Vincent asked impatiently"I have good news," she purred, her voice a seductive melody that sent shivers down Vincent 's spine. It was a voice that commanded attention and demanded respect, carrying an air of authority that mirrored her business attire.The young man leaned in, captivated by her presence."What is it?" he managed to utter, his voice tinged with a mixture of hope and curiosity.Her smile widened, revealing a row of pearly white teeth."It's something that can change your entire life," she whispered, the words dripping with promise.Vincent 's mind whirred with possibilities. Could it be a career opportunity? A chance encounter that would alter the course of his future? His eyes bore into hers, searching for answers."I've gone through your documents , your life and I even know what happened between you and your girlfriend Nina,she called you broke and uneducated" she continued, her voice resonating with admiration.Vincent 's heart swelled with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief. To think that someone of her caliber had been paying attention to his life was beyond scary."I was asked to come here by tsome influential people who believe in your potential," she revealed, her tone filled with conviction. "They want to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that could catapult you to heights you've only imagined."Vincent 's breath caught in his throat. He struggled to absorb the weight of her words, the magnitude of the opportunity she presented. His dreams, so long confined to the realm of fantasy, now danced tantalizingly within reach.The woman reached into her briefcase, retrieving a folder with meticulous care. She handed it to him, the weight of it symbolizing the gravity of the moment."This contains the details," she said, her voice tinged with excitement. "Take your time to review it. Consider it carefully."As he held the folder in his trembling hands, Vincent couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the woman sitting before him even though he knows that it’s too good to be true. She was a force of nature, an enigmatic presence that had entered his life with the promise of change.Their gazes locked once more, and in that instant, Vincent knew that his life was about to transform. He couldn't suppress the excitement that swelled within him, nor the spark of determination that ignited in his eyes.With the taste of possibility on his lips, Vincent vowed to seize this opportunity with unwavering passion. The journey ahead was uncertain, but he was ready to embrace it,guided by the powerful allure of the woman in the back seat, who had arrived with the promise of a life-altering change.“I thought you wanted to kidnap , why are you giving me this opportunity?” Vincent asked“Your dream is to go to Kingston Emerald University and here are full time 100% scholarships for you. I hope you know that it will take you more than 5 million dollars to afford a prestigious university like this, “ the lady said with a sly smile.“Yes , it’s all written in the documents but I want to know what you want from me “ Vincent said smartly“Your silence , if you promise that you will not say anything about the accident that killed that young girl then this scholarship will be yours but you will either die or rot in prison the moment you open your mouth and tell a soil about this…” she said with all seriousness“Think about it and sign the documents if you agree . Your girlfriend called you poor and educated, this is the right time for you to go to a prestigious university and change your life around “ she convinced Vincent.“But it’s so wrong , the girl should get Justice …” Vincent said but the lady cut him off.“Either sign the deal or face the consequences Vincent Hugo” she said with authority and seriousness.Chapter Six “Fine, I will do it.” Vincent said being selfish and signing the contract before the bodyguards pushed him out of the car. “Kingston University, here I come!” Vincent said shouting and getting all excited that after all the things that he has been through , he is finally going to attend his dream university which is great news to him besides it’s either he accepts it or these influential and deadly people will kill him. Vincent didn’t go to work at the construction site that day, he ran back home and completed all the information he needed to fill in the school portal. Vincent was so anxious and excited that he washed his best clothes , pressed them and slept early so that he would wake up early in the morning and start attending school which is on the other fancy and rich side of town. The first rays of dawn peeked through the gaps in the curtains, gently illuminating the room where the young man, Vincent , lay fast asleep. As the sunlight slowly caressed his face, h
Chapter SevenSeeing the extravagant vehicles only reminded him of the vast gap between his own circumstances and those of his classmates.As the day went on, Vincent couldn't help but feel like an outsider. The conversations around him revolved around luxury vacations, designer boutiques, and the latest gadgets. He listened quietly, unable to contribute to the discussions that seemed to define the social fabric of the university.His mind began to wander back to his shabby little house, where a simple meal on the table was a luxury, where every dollar counted. He recalled the nights he spent working odd jobs to save money for his education, sacrificing sleep and leisure. At that moment, he questioned whether his efforts had been in vain.Yet, amidst the turmoil in his mind, Vincent also felt a flicker of determination. He refused to let his financial shortcomings define him.He had earned his place in this university through hard work and intellect, and he wouldn't let material wea
Chapter Eight “Leave me alone ,I am not your slave and you have no right to bully me !” Vincent said while trying to stand up from the dirty floor of the toilet. “Look at this dude , do you know who we are ? How dare a nobody and trashy toilet cleaning slave talk to us like that !” One of the student shouted while kicking Vincent in his face with his legs till his lips cut and blood started coming out: In a dimly lit and decrepit bathroom tucked away in the corner of the university campus, a young man named Vincent found himself trapped in a nightmare. The stench of dampness and neglect filled the air as he timidly entered, hoping to find a moment of respite from the chaos that awaited him outside.Vincent’s heart was pounding with unease because he couldn’t believe that his coursemates, a group of affluent students known for their disdainful attitudes, had singled him out to bully and treat them badly when he did nothing to them . They had cornered him in this desolate restroom

Dressed in his janitorial uniform, he swayed and twirled as he rhythmically mopped the dirty girl's toilet. With each stroke of the mop, his voice rose in a melodic hum, filling the confined space with unexpected joy.Vincent was a dreamer and a very talented singer and dancer ,an individual who saw beauty in the most mundane tasks. Even though he was treated like trash , he didn’t want it to get to him so he did what he loves doing the most in the entire world apart f
Chapter Ten“Hahhahhahahhahhaa , a Quintillion dollars ? What kind of sick hallucination is this ?!” Vincent started laughing at himself thinking that what he just saw was just a silly dream or a broad daylight imagination so ignored the System’s Instruction .“I must be so broke that I am now imagining things , even the richest man on earth is just a billionaire. It’s never possible for some to own a Quintillion dollars. I better head out before I I get late “ Vincent said to himself before quickly entering a public train and he had to trek the remaining distance because no public taxi, Uber to Bolt, is allowed. It is an expensive and exclusive club so everyone going there is very rich , has expensive cars or power bikes with drivers. “You can’t come in, only exclusive members and staff allowed” The security guards told Vincent at the gate“I’m here for a part time work “ Vincent said “Obviously, you don’t look like a club member in those cheap thrift clothes and cheap deodorants
Chapter Eleven“Don Jazzy the Grammy award winner!?” Vincent mouthed , Don Jazzy is a famous super star, he is a model, a musician and also a rapper. He is so cool and wears the most expensive diamond chain in the country so Vincent is shocked that such a popular celebrity is slapping him for no good reason. Without warning, Don Jazzy’s gaze locked onto Vincent's face. For a brief moment, Vincent felt a surge of excitement, thinking the superstar had recognized him as a fellow admirer. But that feeling quickly turned to shock as Don Jazzy’s expression darkened. The superstar's eyes narrowed, and before Vincent could comprehend what was happening, a resounding slap echoed through the bar.The force of the blow sent Vincent stumbling backward, his cheek stinging with pain. The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the young man, the recipient of Don Jazzy's wrath. Vincent's mind raced, confusion and embarrassment overwhelming him. He couldn't understand why Don Jazzy had target
Chapter Twelve “Follow me and I will make you a stinking millionaire with my power and influence “ Don Jazzy said a cringey way in front of the crowd that started shouting , whistling and hyping him up. “Uhmm, I don’t think this is a good idea “ Vincent said to Don Jazzy when he saw how he was smirking. “Come on, it’s okay. You are a badass performer, maybe he wants to sign you and I don't think you need to be afraid “ Sassy combined Vincent with a beautiful smile. “Fine “ Vincent said after gathering the tips he got inside his pocket because he doesn’t play with any single dollar.Vincent, sassy and Don Jazzy were walking dangerously close to the sea that was behind the club where no one can see them.Don Jazzy and Sassy were all mushy and kissing each other while walking till they went deep into the sea.But then, the atmosphere shifted. Don Jazzy's friendly facade cracked, replaced by a sinister glimmer in his eyes. He turned to Vincent, his voice dripping with malice. "You know
Chapter Thirteen “Am I on earth? Am I in heaven or hell? What’s going on?” As Vincent slowly opened his eyes, he was immediately greeted by a disorienting wave of weakness and shock. The world around him seemed blurry and unfocused, as if his vision was struggling to adjust to the new reality he found himself in. He blinked several times, trying to clear his sight and make sense of his surroundings.Gradually, the details started to come into focus. The sound of crashing waves filled his ears, accompanied by the distant cries of seagulls. He realized with a sinking feeling that he was lying down on a sandy shore, the beach stretching out before him in both directions. The air was heavy with the salty tang of the sea, and a warm breeze caressed his face, carrying with it the promise of a new day.Vincent tried to move, but his body felt heavy and unresponsive. Panic welled up within him as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of his situation. How did he end up here? Memories of
