Chapter - 21"Bet? What kind of bet?" Diana who was annoyed a moment ago was suddenly interested."If we pay for the clothes now, won't we be at a disadvantage?" Sebastian said, "Even after paying for the clothes, the ridicule and insults will stay etched on our hearts. Well, I can manage, but what about my young master? Who is going to be responsible for that?" Sebastian asked."Why are you going on and on about young master? No need to pretend. Did he pay you money to act? Because we all know he is nothing but poor..." Stacy was annoyed and wanted to lash out at Sebastian, but she stopped as Diana raised her hand.“You have one rude bitch in your staff. If this is the standard of your store then I was right. This store is indeed shabby,” Sebastian said smirking and it hit Diana hard. Though she had a smile on her lips, one could see her lips twitching in anger."Well... That's true… I guess I need to pay more attention when hiring my employees," Diana nodded. She found Sebastian's w
Chapter - 22 Under the curious gaze of the crowd, the machine finally chimed. "Transaction successful," The green light on the machine lit up, and soon a receipt was printed. And there was pin drop silence that followed. No one spoke a word for some time until someone from the crowd finally said. "Didn't he win the bet? He paid for his clothes..." And hearing that lone comment, suddenly the crowd broke into a frenzy. After the first transaction failed, they all pounced on Mathew, calling him names. But now, Mathew suddenly pulled a reversal, and now, every face was red with shame. But even now, not everyone was feeling embarrassed. Diana was amused. The sales lady in charge of Mathew's transaction was happy. She was finding it difficult to hold her face straight. She tried not to show it on her face, but inside, she was jumping with joy. And there were two who had their insides churning with anger. Stacy and Georgie have been continuously on a losing streak for the last three
Chapter - 23"What happened in there?" As Sebastian drove Mathew back home, Mathew asked."What do you mean, young master? What happened? Where?" Sebastian looked confused."Don't play dumb. Why did this card not work the first time?" Mathew asked as he flipped the black card in his hands, “But suddenly everything was fine.”"Oh..." Sebastian exclaimed with a smile but did not answer."Don't oh me... Tell me, what is going on?" Annoyed by his smile, Mathew frowned, “Do you know how scared I was? One moment, and I would have been labelled a thief, rotting in jail for god knows how long. That Georgie’s uncle would have made sure of it.”“How can that be?” Sebastian continued to be in a jolly mood, “Your father and the Wilson family would have brought down the police station if they dared to lock you in there. Just for a hundred thousand dollars? The Wilsons’ would have become a laughing stock.”“Just get to the point. Why did this card not work?” Mathew was annoyed. Sebastian was always
Chapter - 24"Young Master... Let me..." Sebastian stopped the car and turned to look back, but Mathew stopped him."I know what you want to say. But I don't want unnecessary attention," Mathew said, putting a mask on his face, "It wouldn't be good if someone saw me in this car.""So, you don't need to worry... I will meet you here after school," Mathew said, looking left and right out of the window. And after Mathew had made sure that no one from his school was around, he stepped out of the car.“I will be waiting for you here,” As he walked away, Sebastian could only watch his young Master walk away."Why is he so hesitant to claim what is his?" Sebastian thought out loud, and when Mathew was out of sight, he turned the car back home.~ ~ ~ ~ ~"Hey, Mathew! Here," Just as Mathew walked through the school gates, he saw Harry waving at his from a distance."What are you doing here?" As he got close to Harry, Mathew asked."Of course, I was waiting for you," grinning ear to ear, Harry
Chapter - 25Mathew sat in the interrogation room all alone. He was almost kidnapped from his school, brought to the police station and thrown into the room. And for about an hour, he had been sitting there, all alone. No one came to see him. They did not even give him a drop of water to drink. They were surely treating him like a wanted criminal. Wanted for something much worse than beating the shit out of your love rival.And on top of everything, somehow, he had started to feel cold. When he entered the room, it was somewhat warm. But as time passed, the temperature in the room dropped continuously. So much so that he was almost shivering in his boots right now.It was a psychological thing. A tactic used by the police to intimidate and play with the psyche of the felon. Mathew was not new to it. Not that he had faced it before. But, he had seen it in many of those crime thrillers. As the temperature drops, it is easy to scare the criminal into admitting most of the things that the
Chapter - 26"You sure about that?" Mathew patiently heard the Deputy Superintendent Albus's vulgar words and asked."Huh? About what?" Georgie's uncle was taken aback when instead of shivering in fear, Mathew questioned back."That I fucked your mother. Because there is no other way for me to be a motherfucker," Mathew's lips curled up in a smirk as he mentally destroyed the Deputy Superintendent."You bastard..." The Deputy Superintendent leaned forward on the table and grabbed Mathew by his neck, "You bastard is not afraid of death, it seems.""Oh! Believe me... I am shaking in my boots," Mathew gently grabbed the Deputy Superintendent's hand and pushed it away."boy... You..." Georgie's uncle looked at Mathew, amazed. What's the reason behind this poor boy's calm? He had done a thorough background check on the boy, and he was nothing... Absolutely nothing in his eyes. So what was he missing here?'NO! He is trying to bluff his way out like the last time,' But soon, the Deputy Supe
Chapter - 27 "Superintendent?" Georgie's uncle, the Deputy Superintendent, looked at the man in front of him in shock and horror. His boss was here? Why? "... What are you doing here?" Georgie's uncle was so shocked to see his boss there that he did not even ask for the reason the Superintendent hit him. "Why else? To see what your wretched ass is up to," the Superintendent said as he looked at Mathew, "Misusing your authority to frame innocent citizens. You bastard really have no fear of anyone, do you?" "Superintendent?" Georgie's uncle looked at his boss, confused. “What Superintendent? Do you even take me as the Superintendent?” 'Is this boy related to the Superintendent?' Georgie's uncle tried to think. But no matter what, he could not remember seeing anything influential in the boy's background. What was it then? A misunderstanding? It must be a misunderstanding, that's all. So, he only needs to win over the Superintendent with words. "You are misunderstanding, Superintend
Chapter - 28Georgie walked inside the police station, brimming with joy. Just thinking about the sorry state Mathew must be in, Georgie could not stop himself from grinning ear to ear.Georgie saw it all in the morning. He was thise when Mathew was pulled away by the police officers in front of everyone. Georgie knew in one glance that his uncle had finally made his move. Though his actions a few days back still confused Georgie, but better late than never. He was more than happy to let it go if it meant Mathew could experience the torment of hell.And if that was not assuring, hours later, Georgie also received a message from his uncle, reassuring him that it was certainly doomsday for Mathew today.Oh... How much Georgie wanted to watch as his uncle tormented Mathew. What a sight it would have been to see Mathew on his knees, begging them to let him go... Just thinking about that, Georgie felt his body tingle from inside with a rush of adrenaline. It was more satisfying than the pl
