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 felt 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 isn't meant for poor 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. And if Daniel was, to be honest, he saw a smirk on Victor's lips. 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 like he is already proposing to her,” Daniel mumbled, walking closer to see things for himself. No one had taken notice of his presence yet since everyone was chanting, “Say yes, say yes, say yes.” The unison was going in one accord. Inside the circle, a young man was kneeling in front of a lady with a golden ring in his hand, his face raised, looking at the lady. This was Orval Morris, the rich arrogant campus guy. “Kathie, please, don't say no to me. I promise to give you the best life as you deserve. I'll lavish my money on you as well.” Morris said, “Please, be my girlfriend, will you?” He stretched out the ring. Meanwhile, as Daniel heard the name, his heart raced faster, and his eyes widened a bit. “Kathie?” He mumbled, trying not to believe it was his girlfriend, Kathie Karol. He started squeezing himself through the crowd to confirm his doubt, “Daniel, where are you going to?” Victor called his voice barely above the murmuring in the atmosphere. But before he could rush after him, Daniel had already made his way forward. “I love you very much, Kathie, please, don't say no to me,” Morris said again. He was a wealthy guy from a rich family that every lady chased after so it was certain that this lady wouldn't decline his proposal. The lady smiled widely, “Yes, I will be….” Before she could finish her words, a voice echoed, reverberating throughout the whole place and causing everyone to turn in a frown, wondering who dared to interrupt the incident. “Kathie Karol?” Daniel's voice echoed, overshadowing every other sound. A hint of confusion and surprise etched on his face as he stared at what seemed to be daydreaming. He had secretly prayed that it wouldn't be what he had thought before approaching the scene. But to his heartbreak, it was his girlfriend, the one who had already bought a silver necklace for– Kathie Karol. Kathie's and Morris’ gazes landed on him. A hint of anger and embarrassment flashed through Kathie's eyes while Morris was filled with anger as he stood up with his fist clenched and face tightened. Morris stared at Daniel, his face blasting with fury, “Hey, you wretched popular campus guy, Daniel Hovsep, who permitted you into this place? And how dare you shout my girlfriend's name like that? Has poverty blinded your eyes not to see that this place isn't for people like you?” His words cut through Daniel's spine so hard that his blood boiled, and his face turned red, but he approached Kathie instead. “What are you doing here with this spoiled rich brat? I know he must have forced you with his influence to do this but don't worry, I'm here now to take you. Come with me, let's get out of here.” He held Kathie's hand, ignoring the disdainful looks that were on him. “Just let me go and don't touch me with your filthy hand again!” Kathie jerked her hand out of Daniel's grip. Daniel turned, his face plastered with disbelief, “Kathie…..” his voice cracked, his words hanging in his throat. “How dare you try to force yourself on her?” Morris yelled, giving Daniel a swift blow. Daniel staggered back but regained his composure, he glared at Morris, his face filled with something darker. “What gives you the nerve to hit me? Are you insane?” He rushed forward, delivering hard punches to Morris’ face. “You mannerless fool. You think you can lay your filthy hands on me and get away freely?” He kept hitting Morris. The people there rushed forward and held Daniel, pulling him away and leaving Morris to spit out in anger. “Leave me! Let me go!” Daniel struggled to break free from the people's grip and he was finally freed after several yells and attempts. “How dare you come to my house and attack me? I will kill you.” Morris moved forward to attack Daniel but Kathie intervened. Morris looked at her unbelievably, “What's this for, Kathie?” He asked. “You don't have to waste your time on a stinky person like him.” Kathie coldly responded, embracing Morris tightly. Daniel's face burned as if a fire was set on his face. “I now stink to you? After everything I did to you? You have chosen to pay me this way?” His voice dripped with emotion. “What is he talking about?” Morris furrowed his eyebrows at Kathie. Kathie hesitantly replied, “Don't take whatever he's saying to heart, baby. He's just been sent to destroy this wonderful day. Can't you see it?” She stepped forward, her face filled with disdain, “Have we ever had any conversation with each other? And what have you done for me?” She asked Daniel coldly. Daniel chuckled bitterly with a frustrated face, “Kathie, why are you pretending like you don't know me? Go ahead and tell everyone that I'm your boyfriend.” He responded, glancing around. Bringing out the silver jewelry, he said, “Look here, your birthday is tomorrow and I bought this for you. Tell them we have been dating for the past two years now.” “Haha. Look at that. That's the cheapest silver necklace. I heard someone buying it yesterday for $40.” One person exclaimed while laughing aloud. “No wonder he's the popular broke campus guy. Haha. A cheap necklace for the popular beauty lady.” Hearing the murmuring, Kathie was overwhelmed with rage. She grabbed the necklace, throwing it to the floor with all her strength which caused it to shatter into tiny pieces, “Get out of my house now!” Morris, on the other hand, was looking confused. Kathie had told him about her birthday being tomorrow then how did this wretched guy know it? “Maybe, he's telling the truth but I mustn't let him dare make any move. He doesn't deserve Kathie.” He shook off the thought, stepping forward. “Whatever relationship you had with her is over; I, Orval Morris, the rich guy, want her to be my girlfriend, and so it must be!”

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
The Return Of Daniel Hovsep Chapter 10: Enjoyment
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.
The Return Of Daniel Hovsep Chapter 11: Nicholas
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 12 Minutes later after Daniel had settled still with a clutched face after firing Nicholas, a lady walked in, looking extremely beautiful. She was tall, wearing a luxurious blue suit and a black blouse. Daniel opened his mouth in awe as he let his eyes roam around the beautiful sight of the lady. She was looking like an angel. “Hi, Mister Hovsep. I'm Hannah Ezra, and I'll be taking you on things you need to know about your father's businesses.” She exchanged a handshake with Daniel professionally with a light smile. “Oh, that's great. Nice to meet you, Hannah.” Daniel said, returning her smile, “please, have a seat.” He gestured to the sofa opposite him. Hannah nodded, adjusting her black skirt before sitting, “Thank you.” She said, pausing. After a deep breath, she continued, bringing out a magazine from her bag, “Master Daniel, this is a clear picture of how the interior of the Blackstone Group looks.” She leaned forward, showing Daniel pictures of the group. “I

Chapter 13 Hovsep reached out his hand to the wardrobe and brought out a black card. It was sleek, premium, and sophisticated in appearance while Daniel sat on a well-furnished chair, motionless yet looking at his father. Hovsep then handed the sleek black card to Daniel and said, “Here, you go. That's a platinum card.” He said and added, “it's yours.” Daniel began to look at it, confused. The card was extremely beautiful but he didn't know what it was used for. “What should I do with it, Dad?” He asked, raising his eyebrows. Hovsep cleared his throat, looking amused, “Son, that's a platinum card, as I said, and it's a premium card that provides you with seamless transactions and no income limit.” He said, “In it, is over $900 million, and you can make use of it without any restrictions.” “$900 million?” Daniel shouted, cupping his mouth. He was visibly shocked. The gravity of his father's words almost pulled him from his seat. “You mean, this card has over $900 million in i

Chapter 14 “What do you want from me, Victor?” Daniel asked, tightening his jaw, “Do you think I was going to die? You're wrong because as you can see, I'm absolutely fine.” Victor’s jaw tightened, his nostrils flared, and a deep scowl crept across his face. “A good samaritan must have helped a bastard like you. Just be grateful to the good Lord.” He smirked, and his eyes flicked to Daniel's wrist and sneered, “A new watch? Where did you even get the money from?” Daniel's face twisted into a frown and he replied with a steady voice despite his simmering anger, “And what does that have to do with you? This is my life and I owe you no explanation!" Victor chuckled, amused by Daniel's words, “Whatever. In case you've forgotten, the hotel's f*e for the semester is almost due and I won't continue to live with someone like you not in my life again.” He paused, smirking while Daniel looked at him steadily, his heart clenched but he didn't say anything. And yes, Victor and Daniel had

Are you calling it or not?” He asked, his voice echoing with anger. His patience was growing thin.Victor felt a pang of surprise at Daniel's firm words. He sighed and began to call his account details just because he wanted to mock Daniel and not for anything else.As he called, Daniel was also typing in the account details into his phone, and after Victor finished calling it, he fixed his gaze on Daniel, waiting to hear what he had to say.However, Daniel looked up to him in a few minutes and informed him, “I have just sent $200 to your account. Use it wisely, alright?” He said, his tone laced with mockery.Victor ignored him and brought out his phone from his pocket, awaiting an alert notification but he didn't see any.

Just as they threw five steps forward, the Chancellor yelled at them, causing them to halt in mid-steps. “Don't touch him!” His authoritative yet wavering voice echoed in the room.The security guards instantly halted exchanging confused glances at each other. William had told them the Chancellor was the one who sent for them to have this man out. …..and now…?Meanwhile, the smirk on William's face instantly disappeared, replaced with a startled and disbelief expression. His gaze now shifted from Daniel to the Chancellor.Daniel, on the other side, smiled, letting his gaze focus on William. “Let's see who this favors.” He mumbled to himself, adjusting himself with a little bit of pride.“Just leave,” the Chancellor continued, waving a dismissive hand to the security guards. They hesitated, still confused before finally leaving with res

Chapter 21 “What sort of joke is this?” William interjected, moving forward, “do you think the Chancellor has time for someone like you?” His voice was sharp and his jaw clenched. Daniel looked at him, shaking his head. He didn't respond to him. Instead, he returned his gaze to the Chancellor and said, “Sir, just provide five names of year one students who haven't paid their fees,” he said again, bringing out his phone. The Chancellor's anger grew thin. He raised his hand to slap Daniel but he was too quick to dodge it. This made him more furious. His fist clenched and his face twisted in rage, “Do I look like your playmate?” He turned to William and yelled, his voice filled with authority, “Call the security guards now and let them throw this thing out of here!” William quickly nodded, eyed Daniel angrily, and immediately rushed out. As William left, Daniel, with already regained composure, looked at the Chancellor, “Sir, there's no need to call the security guards. I'm not a

But why does he seem to care so much about him?“Do you have a problem with where I am?” Daniel asked, his tone sharp and a little rude.Victor who had called, replied from the other end, “I waited for you inside after you left, thinking you went to the library to read but I've gone there to look for you but didn't see you so I thought of calling you—”“As if you care,” Daniel interjected. “Anyway, I'm fine, and thanks for calling, but I'm fine.” He didn't wait for any response before abruptly ending the call with a frown on his face.Staring at the phone in his hand, he mumbled, “What impression is he trying to create this time?” He asked himself. “Does he really think I will fall cheaply to him again?” He shook his head before tapping his phone to life.After unlocking it, he went to call history, his finger settled on Victor's number and without much thought, he coldly blacklist

Chapter 19Daniel's gaze remained fixed on the lady who had just introduced herself. He hesitantly accepted the handshake, “Daniel,” he said, his voice calm and cautious. He then asked, “How may I help you, Joanna?”He gently pulled back his hand.A tiny smile escaped Joanna's lips. She took a deep breath, composing her demeanor before responding, “I saw you booked a room so I thought of—” she paused, feeling a bit nervous, “keeping you company.” She forced it out, observing Daniel's reaction. Daniel raised his eyebrows at Joanna, “Keep me company? What do you mean by that?” He asked, almost sounding rude. He wasn't sure whether to feel suspicious about her choice of words. Joanna shifted uncomfortably, tucking her black long strand hair behind her ear, “I didn't mean to sound….improper,” she clarified politely, her voice breaking. She was about to continue, but Daniel interrupted, his patience already thinning, “....sorry, but I don't need anyone's company. I'm okay this way.” He

The staff worker, moving with practiced professionalism, paused and gestured toward a beautifully crafted wooden door. “This is your room, sir,” he said, his voice respectful and unwavering, “please, proceed forward and tap the card assigned to you here.” Daniel nodded and stepped forward with a composed expression and followed the staff worker’s instructions, tapping the card to the door until it swung open. The staff worker was the first to step inside, gesturing to Daniel to join in as well, and with a nod, he entered. “Sir,” the staff worker called to him but Daniel was busy taking in the breathtaking interior beauty of the room. He began by introducing, “This is a professional suite designed to provide you with maximum comfort. You have got a large TV here—just use the remote to access movies, sports, news, or anything else you'd like to watch.” He pointed

Chapter 17“Hello, Dad?” Daniel greeted, his voice brought low.Hovsep, from the other end, noticed Daniel's faint voice, so he said, almost apologizing, “Sorry for disrupting you so late. I only called to remind you of the test you'll have tomorrow. Are you preparing for it?” He asked.Daniel nodded, although his father didn't see him, “Yes, Dad. I'm still awake preparing for it. Thank you for calling.” He replied, lying a little. He hadn't even started. “That's good. I want the best from you.” Hovsep nodded his head, voice laced with excitement. “Alright. I'll call back tomorrow to know your performance. Good night and good luck to you.” He ended the call immediately. As the call ended, Daniel pocketed his phone and stared at the dark sky, his lips curving into a faint smile as his father's words lingered in his mind.He then glanced at his watch, and seeing that it was already 9 PM, he quickly made his way to the gate, but then he heard a voice.“Hey, you, where are you going?” T

But let me get it for you.” He took to his heels to retrieve the body cream from his bag but Daniel called out to him. “You don't have to worry yourself. I'm okay.” Daniel replied, his voice a mix of calmness and firmness. He knew Victor was only trying to act nice again because of what had happened earlier. “It has been yours,” Daniel began again, “there was no point in hiding it.” He narrowed his eyes, shocked. Victor's display of character had really shown him who he truly was. Sighing deeply, Daniel turned, facing his back on Victor who stood, looking remorseful. He rubbed his hand in his hair and mumbled, “I've messed up everything. Damn it.” He slapped his forehead gently and calmly, feeling frustrated. As Daniel unwrapped himself from the thick towel, he slipped into the same clothes which he had worn without oiling his body. The body cream
