Chapter 4
Daniel's face blasted in anger as he turned to look at the old man, “Hey, old man. What do you mean by I stink? Don't you know how to talk to someone?” He shot at him. There was a shocking expression on both Brown's face and the old man's face. The reason why Brown was shocked was that he had always been rude to Daniel, and he had never in any time talked back to him the way he just did. The old man angrily got up from his seat, “How dare you call me an old man? Do you know who you're talking to?” He asked, fuming at Daniel. “Who do you think you are? You just insulted me, and you want me to remain calm?" The old man chuckled, “You don't know me and you dare raise your voice at me? Haha. For your information, I'm Nicholas Andrew, one of the members of the Blackstone Group.” Galp! Daniel was startled. Who in Sandalwood hadn't heard about such a powerful group called Blackstone Group? They were the most powerful and popular company in the whole world, and even companies within and outside the countries partnered with them. Nicholas, after noticing the shocking expression on Daniel's face, smirked. He knew Daniel was afraid, so he further said, his voice filled with authority, “Now, bow your face to the ground at my feet and apologize!” Brown, who had been silent finally shouted, adding, “You stinky fool, don't you hear what he just said? Do it now or get yourself rot in jail!” Daniel slowly shook his head, his body vibrating slightly. How can I apologise to a rude arrogant man when I did nothing wrong? He muttered to himself. “You have just but ten seconds to apologize or get yourself beaten up by my bodyguards,” Nicholas said, his expression cold. Boom! Michael's heart began to beat faster. He quickly remembered the fierce men who were all in black suits in the garden, which he had ignored when he was coming in. He knew that if Nicholas happened to call them, then he'd be dead. But then another thought crept into his mind, ‘What happened to his right? Will he just allow this old man to trample on him just because he's rich and him poor?’ “No! I can't do it just because he's rich!” He muttered and looked up to Nicholas with a furious look, “I'd rather die than bow before you!” He spat and with a swift move, he pushed Nicholas forcefully to the ground and raced out of the office. “Chase him!” Nicholas groaned in pain as he shouted. "He mustn't escape!" Brown raced after Daniel leaving Nicholas in the office. “Catch him, don't let him go. Catch him, don't let him escape!” Brown was shouting, hoping someone might get hold of Daniel before he would escape from the surrounding. Downstairs, Daniel ran faster and passed the hall where customers had already filled and were eating. “What's that? Is he mad or something? Who's chasing after him?” Murmuring filled the air as all customers frowned their faces, feeling annoyed, disrespected, and uncomfortable. At that same moment, Noah, Alexander, and Victor were busy serving the customers when Daniel raced past. Noah and Alexander began to laugh, “Haha. That fool has caused trouble again.” They said in unison. Meanwhile, a worried expression etched on Victor's face, “What has he done this time around?” He mumbled, and his concern appeared palpable. Suddenly, a loud, angry voice came out, overpowering the murmurings that had filled the air. It was that of Brown, “Hey, bodyguards, run after him and catch him!” Immediately, the men in suits heard it, and all of them ran after Daniel, who had already made his way outside. Within ten minutes, the men arrived back, “We're sorry, sir. We couldn't catch him.” They announced with a bow. Instantly, a sluggish movement was heard coming downstairs. That was Nicholas. “What's wrong with you, sir? Are you okay?” The men rushed him, helping him. Their faces were filled with anger as they realized that the young man who had just run out must have been the cause. Because they had seen him go upstairs. Slap! Nicholas furiously slapped the three of them as he yelled at them, “Fools, you all are so stupid to have let that fool like you all escape.” “We're sorry, sir. We didn't know this is what he did to you.” The men apologized in unison with their knees on the ground. Furiously, they got up and approached the waiters and waitresses who were working there. As the waiters and waitresses saw them approaching, their bodies began to vibrate vigorously. Their hearts ponder in their hearts at the sights of the men. “Who among you is a friend to that bastard who dared hurt our master?” The leader asked, looking so fierce. His fist was already clenched ready to strike. Quickly, all fingers were pointed towards Victor. “He's his tight pal.” They all echoed, their voices trembling in fear. The three men turned their fierce looks towards Victor, who out of fear, slowly began to shake his head, “I'm…I'm…” His voice was cracking, and the bladder's muscles increased, which instantly caused it to pour out urine on his trousers. Noah's and Alexander's frightened expressions turned to amusement. “He urinated in his trousers. Haha.” They laughed sarcastically in tones. On the other hand, the three men ignored the urine as they kept on approaching Victor. Victor was busy moving backward; he knew he was too fat to even run, so he didn't bother thinking about such a moment. Before he could stammer another word, the three men jumped on him and began to throw hard blows on his face. “Help me! Help me!” Victor was shouting, his voice filled with emotions that moved the customers there but no one dared intervene. They were all afraid of the men. By the side, Nicholas stood and watched with a cold and satisfied expression even though he knew Victor wasn't the one who pushed him down. “He's his friend so he deserves whatever he's getting now.” He said with a smirk. Just then, his phone began to ring. Seeing the caller ID, he picked up immediately, “Alright, sir. I'm coming right away.” The call abruptly ended. He raised his head and shouted with an authoritative voice, “It's okay. That's enough for now. Leave him and let's go!”Chapter 5 The three men, without delay, jumped off Victor, whose face was filled with bruises. His jaw had swollen up, causing his mouth to look as if there was something inside of it. His breathing was so fast that everyone there was hearing it. There was a little relief in his voice after the men stopped even though he was in pain. Victor sat up, his hand on his chest, trying to calm his breath. “You're very lucky I was called or you would have paid more than what your friend had taken.” Nicholas stepped forward and said, his expression still cold. He then turned to his bodyguards, “Let's go.” They nodded in synchronization. They were about to leave when Brown rushed forward, “I'm sorry, Mr. Nicholas, for the trouble caused. I sincerely apologized on his behalf.” He said with a heavy heart, his voice laced with emotions. Nicholas looked at him and replied indifferently, “Sorry won't change anything, Brown. Your useless employee almost killed me in your office and you
Chapter 6 “Hello, Lucas Victor…..” Before Daniel could ask his best friend, Victor, what the issue was, Victor broke the shocking news. “I got fired after being beaten up,” Victor said from the other end, trying to steady his voice that was filled with sadness. “What? They beat you up and got you fired because of me?” Guilt washed over Daniel's face, “Let's meet.” *** “Is this what they did to you? How dare they lay their filthy hands on you?” Daniel's blood boiled as he looked at the disfigured face of his friend, Victor. His face was red with bruises and was also swollen as a result of the forceful blows that the men had landed on him. Standing up, Daniel approached Victor, gently touching his face to soften it, “So sorry, Vic. All this happened to you because of me. I'm sorry.” “It was never your fault, Dan.” Victor forced a smile to his face and replied. “But what exactly happened at the office?” He asked. Daniel took back his seat, his face a hint of anguish, “My life
Chapter 7 The cab that had carried Daniel and Victor came to a halt in front of a big black gate and they stepped out. After settling the driver, they went inside. The compound was filled with cars; Daniel looked around and saw something inside of him telling him not to go further. He halted, “Victor, I don't want to go; please, let's go back; this party is meant for rich people like us.” “Oh, come on, Daniel. Stop belittling yourself this way.” Victor waved his hand in dismissal. “We aren't going to do anything here. Just have a glimpse of everything, then go back.” He dragged Daniel's hand, taking him inside. The hall was filled with familiar faces as Daniel looked around, recognizing everyone as his fellow students in the same 300 level. Every one of them was all the people who were always mocking and making fun of him for being poor, except for Victor, who had always stood by his side. Everyone had already formed a circle leaving just two persons inside of it. “It seems
Chapter 8 Daniel, although heartbroken but didn't want to escalate the whole thing, looked at Kathie, tears streaming down his eyes, “So, I'm trash to you. You don't know me anymore, right? No problem, but remember this day, you will regret betraying me this way.” “And you, you might be rich but I promise that I'm going to crush you under my feet someday. Trust me, you'll pay heavily.” He said to Morris. “Haha.” Morris laughed mockingly. “You definitely can't! Go and have a bath with good soap first before you can talk to me, okay?” Daniel swallowed hard, his eyes filled with both rage and revenge. Without a word, he turned to leave, but then cruel words hit him that were more than Kathie's betrayal. “Daniel, you can't go from here until you pay me back the $20 note that you borrowed from me to buy the silver necklace.” Victor echoed, after seeing that the necklace was damaged. “What? He even borrowed the money? So, he can't even buy a necklace worth $40 without borrowi
Chapter 9 The nurse immediately brought out the stethoscope, examining Daniel before reassuring the old man, “Don't worry, he'll be alright.” She left. “Dan, ho..how are you doing now?” The old man asked, his voice breaking as he stretched his hand forward, touching Daniel emotionally. Daniel's eyes blinked, his blurry eyes staring around the room before settling on the old man whose face seemed a bit familiar to him but he couldn't recall his face properly. The man was looking extremely wealthy. His outfits and look alone said everything about him. “W—who are you? And where is this place?” Daniel's weak voice came out, trying to get it strong. The man sat beside the bed, his face laced with sorrow. He tried to touch Daniel again, but he dodged. Sighing frustratedly, he replied, “You're in the hospital, son. And I'm your father, just get well soon.” Father? Daniel's heart was swollen in anger. What will his father be doing here after abandoning him for years? And another thi
Chapter 10 Soon the cars arrived at a spacious compound that exuded wealth from every corner of it. Daniel looked through the window, shaking his head in amazement. The inside of the car was also giving him a comfortable zone. “Dad, where is this place?” He asked after the cars stopped and he stepped out. “This is one of my buildings,” Hovsep replied smiling. “Yours? You also own this place?” Daniel asked, shocked. “Yes, just follow me.” He instructed, leading the way while Daniel followed behind, glancing around. The maids began to greet him with respect and he responded politely too. “Please, take him to his room.” Hovsep told one of the maids who nodded and said to Daniel, “Sir, please come with me.” Daniel reluctantly nodded, his gaze fixed on his father's before he followed. Upstairs, the maid twisted the knob of a door, revealing a luxurious spacious room with unlimited items. “This is your room, sir. Please, feel free to make use of anything.” The maid announced.
Chapter 11 The man was startled at the sight of Daniel. Words only couldn't describe how shocked he was to see Daniel there. This man was Nicholas Andrew who Daniel met at Brown's office. “W—what! You?” Nicholas stammered, feeling a lump formed in his throat. Before Daniel could say a word, Nicholas was already on his knees begging. Daniel's father, Hovsep, had already told him about his lost son being found after a long search. And he had instructed him to put Daniel through everything since he was the right-hand man to him. “Young master Hovsep, please, forgive me. Don't hurt me, I beg you. I never knew you were the son of my master. Have mercy on me.” He begged, putting his head to the ground, his tears escalated. A smirk played around Daniel's lips as he glanced down at him, “Oh, you're begging me now because I'm Hovsep's son, right? Have you suddenly forgotten how you almost killed me even after insulting me back then in Mr. Brown's office?” He asked, feeling annoyed. “I'm
Chapter 1 "You lazy ass, be fast with the cleaning! Hurry, go start cleaning the cafeteria, the students will be out soon for breakfast." A man shouted angrily with contempt noticeable on his face. "I'll soon be done, sir. Just give me some minutes." A voice answered. This was Daniel Hovsep, a twenty-three-year-old University student, who had been working different part-time jobs just to save up for a special birthday gift for his girlfriend, Karol Kathie, the school's most popular beautiful girl. Apart from being a delivery and laundry man, Daniel was also a part-time cleaner at Leeds University, where he and his girlfriend were both students. That morning, he woke up around 5 Am to clean the cafeteria. A rivulet of sweat was plastered on his face, showing how long he had been cleaning the whole place. It was already 8 a.m. and he wasn't done cleaning. He was currently cleaning the University cafeteria when students started entering to eat. Placing his face on the ground

Chapter 3 After an hour's drive, the cab that Daniel was inside came to a stop in front of a luxurious building with a large black gate. This was the Royal Garden Hotel. Daniel stepped out of the car and settled the driver who drove off after receiving his payment. Daniel then turned and stared at the gate. He looked at himself and he didn't mind the wet clothes he was wearing at that moment. With a composed demeanor, even though he was slightly ashamed of what he was putting on, Daniel approached the gate and knocked on it gently before withdrawing his hand, awaiting it to be opened for him. Almost immediately, the gate was opened, revealing the gate guard, who looked at him with an irritated expression. “Good morning, Mr. Daniel.” He just greeted him casually. If not that he knew Daniel to be a worker there, he would have thrown him out without a second thought because his outfits were so dilapidated to the eyes. Daniel noticed how the gate guard was looking at him dis
