“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 is of no good. It has no meaning at all.” He began, “I recently lost my job as the cafeteria cleaner because of Camron and his group, and now…” Tears began to drop from his eyes as he narrated what had happened in Brown's office. “Daniel, your life is never meaningless. Anything happening to you now is just preparing you for the success to come.” Victor caressed his hair, wiping his tears. Daniel shook his head, disapprovingly, “No, it's not, Vic.” His expression turned more sorrowful but this time, it was filled with rage. “Since my Mom passed away, my Dad ran away without checking on me. I'm just the one taking care of myself. Where I am today is just because of my struggles….” Victor cut him off and moved his anguish, “It's okay, Daniel, everything will be fine. Trust me.” He then tried to make him feel happy, “Guess what, Dan? Orval Morris is proposing to the most popular girl on campus at his mansion, why don't we go there?” Even though Victor hated Morris for being a bully to Daniel, he only suggested going there since all campus students were invited too. Daniel raised his eyebrows at Victor, his face a mix of disbelief, “Morris? No, you can go, I'm not going with you!” Daniel retorted his words firm. Although he secretly admired Orval Morris for being the most famous rich campus guy on campus, he also hated him for using his wealth to intimidate others, which he was among. Victor tapped his shoulder, smiling, “Come on. I'm aware of the fact that you hate him so much with everything inside of you. I do also, but let's just be there, and once we catch a glimpse of the lady he wants to propose to, then we'll leave the party.” There was a moment of silence at their table in the restaurant. Daniel sipped through his glass of water, looking at Victor with hesitation. “I don't hate him; I just hate his pompous behavior towards others.” “That means we're good to go.” Victor declared without letting Daniel say a word. A took a spoonful of the stewed rice. “Aha, how much have you saved to get the birthday gift for Kathie, your girlfriend tomorrow? No matter how little it is, let it show your love for her.” Daniel's face paled, “I got no single penny. Where I expected payment from, none paid.” He answered emotionally. “Don't worry, I'll add up with the little you have. We'll get it on my way before going to the party.” “You will?” Daniel's eyes opened in shock but adorned with heartfelt gratitude. “Thank you so much, Victor.” He got up and hugged him. “I promise to repay your kindness.” “It's nothing, man. We're friends so we're supposed to help each other in both good and tough times. Come on, let's eat.” ***** The clock ticked so fast that day and it was already 5 PM. Daniel and Victor were spotted in a jewelry store. “Yes, I want the silver one.” Daniel pointed, his face full of excitement that Kathie would be surprised to see that he was able to get silver jewelry for her. “How much is it?” He asked after the sales lady brought it. “This is a lower quality, sir and it cost just $40.” The sales lady responded, and Daniel quickly paid with two $20 notes; one was his, and the other was the one Victor added up. Within minutes, the sales lady packaged it nicely for him, “Here you go, sir. Thanks for patronage.” With a wide smile, Daniel collected it, pocketing it. Once he and Victor were outside the store, he glanced at Victor, happy, “I'm sure, she'll love it and will be shocked.” Victor nodded in agreement, “Yes, she will. This shows your unwavering love for her.” “Thank you, this is all possible because of you.” With that, they flagged down a cab and headed to Morris’ mansion for the party.

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

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

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 2 Daniel immediately turned as the loud shout pulled him from his thoughts. It was the man who had employed Daniel and had earlier shouted at him. His name was William Jones, and he was in charge of the University's facilities. Getting up quickly, Daniel wiped his tears in a swift move and pretended as if nothing had happened. “What the hell have you been doing since the morning?” William asked with an angry voice as he approached Daniel with a disdainful look. “Is this how you want to be doing the job?” He shook his head, “It's evident you can't continue.” Khud! Daniel fell to his knees in front of William, and his face grew pale, “Mr. William, please. It's not what you think, I beg you. I was almost through with everything before….” “Just shut up, you good-for-nothing excuse of a guy!” William cut him off angrily without hearing him out. “What kind of excuse do you want to give now? Tell me.” He asked, his tone sharp. “You came to my office begging me to give you

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

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.

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?
