"You are what?" Georgie frowned when he heard Mathew.
"I said... I am her boyfriend," Mathew was not the rash type. But with Stacy on the line, Mathew did not back down as well.
Meanwhile, the other guy with Georgie, who filmed everything inside the restaurant, pulled out his phone. This was a spicy twist in drama, and he had to make sure that there was an audience for it.
"Hey... Why did it start again?"
"Are there more surprises?"
"Georgie now just wants to rub it on our face that he got the school beauty,"
"Who's the other guy?"
"He is wearing some sort of uniform. Does he work at the restaurant?"
"Listen, you..." Georgie was angry, "I don't know why you are doing this. But keep this up, and I will beat the shit out of you." Georgie threatened Mathew as openly as he could.
As soon as they heard Georgie, the comment section was flooded.
"I am not here to talk to you," Mathew did not flinch, "I am here to talk to my girlfriend."
"I am not your girlfriend anymore. I am breaking up with you," Stacy almost screamed when she had had enough of it. She tried to hide it all until the end, but Georgie still found it out. She could do nothing about it now.
"What?" Mathew was taken aback by Stacy's sudden proclamation. He could not believe she would break up with him just like that. And not just Mathew, Stacy's words took everyone by surprise, and the chat went into a frenzy this time.
"I can't believe she already had a boyfriend,"
"Poor Georgie. Without any fault, he is stuck between the two of them."
"What? Why? I don't understand. Weren't things going fine?" Mathew asked.
"Well, for you, maybe they were. But what about me?" Stacy looked at Mathew teary-eyed and asked, "Did you ever think what I was going through?"
"What do you mean?"
"Huh... You don't even know," Stacy scoffed, throwing her arms.
"Never mind. There is no us anymore, Mathew," Stacy said as she took a step back, avoiding Mathew.
"Enough... She has made herself clear. Now back off, dude," Georgie finally spoke up as he got between Mathew and Stacy and pushed Mathew back.
"Don't touch me," Mathew flung Georgie's arm in annoyance and said, "I am not talking to you. It's between me and my girlfriend."
"Ex-girlfriend," Georgie said and pushed Mathew even further, "Now don't be a child whining for a toy. Just leave."
"I said get your hands off me," Having enough of Georgie added to the heart-piercing words of Stacy, Mathew finally lost it. He grabbed Georgie by his arm and twisted it.
"Ahh... Leave me, you asshole,"
But that was not enough for Mathew. He was angry. Angry at Stacy for leaving him. Angry at Georgie for taking his girlfriend away. But more than that, he was angry at himself.
He worked painstakingly without getting any sleep just to save enough money to get to college. But here was this bastard with tons and tons of money, playing around all day. Yet, he gets to be the nice guy, while his efforts are neglected and thrown aside. How could this be fair? Why were his parents not rich? If he was rich, would Stacy have chosen Georgie over him?
Suddenly Mathew found no meaning in his life. Now all he wanted to do was vent out all his bottled emotions, and Georgie was the unfortunate one to bear it all.
So while Georgie crouched, groaning in pain, Mathew punched him right in his face.
Georgie was rich, but he was hardly any strong. He even made the basketball team because of connections. So with just one punch on his nose, Georgie was on the ground.
"Aaahhh..." This scared the shit out of Stacy. She took a step away from Georgie and Mathew.
But Mathew hardly cared now. He jumped on Georgie on the ground and sat on top of him. Now without allowing Georgie to resist, Mathew started hitting him left and right.
"Omg... Someone save Georgie..."
"You dolt... What are you doing recording the video? Help him,"
"I know that guy. Isn't he Mathew from our school?"
"That guy who hardly spoke?"
"Nah... That can't be him. He is so handsome. And handsome guys won't do something so brutish."
"He just had his girlfriend leave him for someone else..."
Meanwhile, the boy holding the phone finally woke up from the shock. Looking at the crazy Mathew, he was too scared to jump in and save Georgie. So, instead of helping him, the boy made a run inside the restaurant to get some help.
"You are breaking up with me just because I missed your call once?" Mathew spoke without even looking up at Stacy, "What a joke... Then what about the numerous times I was at your beck and call? Running in the rain to fetch you another packet of pads because you did not use the brand I bought you? Huh..." Mathew smirked. Just one act of kindness made Stacy change her mind? You got to be joking.
"Since kindness is not what you are looking for, it must be his money," Mathew stopped for a while as he panted for air and looked at Georgie, "Aren't you a lucky rich brat?" Mathew said and slapped Georgie straight across his face.
"No more... Let me go," Georgie weakly called out. He was about to lose consciousness, "I... I didn't know..."
"Well, that's true..." After slapping Georgie a couple more times, Mathew stopped.
"It's all because of this money-grovelling bitch."
"Don't... Don't come any closer, Mathew," Stacy took a few steps back.
"Why... Weren't we really close before?" Mathew was like a crazy man. He only had one dream, and Stacy shattered it in an instant. For him, his world fell apart.
At that moment, the boy who went out to get help returned. With him was the manager, along with other staff of the restaurant, Barry included.
"Help... Help... He is trying to harm me," Stacy cried out hurriedly.
"Matt enough... What do you think you are doin'?" Barry called out to Mathew as he and others grabbed Mathew.
"Let me go... I will kill that bitch,"
"Snap out of it, man," Barry was anxious, "You had already done enough." He, along with others, tried to pull Mathew away from there.
"IT'S NOT OVER. IT'S NOT OVER, YOU CHEATING BITCH. I WILL DESTROY YOU."
And everything fell into silence.

Chapter - 04 "Let go of me... I am not yet done with that cheating bitch," Mathew struggled to break free from the grip of Barry and the others holding him. "You have done enough already. Don't make more trouble for us," Barry said as they pushed Mathew into a chair. They brought Mathew to the security room of the restaurant. With Barry's words, it finally dawned upon Mathew. His legs went numb, and Mathew crashed into the chair. He looked down at his hands, and they were covered in blood. And Mathew was sure that it was not his blood. He was so out of it that he did not even know what he was doing. But judging by the state of his knuckles, he could guess that he was in trouble. "Matt, everything..." Barry wanted to console Mathew, but before he could say anything, the door burst open, and the manager rushed inside. "You... son of a bitch," the manager pushed away Barry and grabbed Mathew by his collar, pulling him up. And just as the manager finished speaking, the door swung ope

Chapter - 05 'Where can I get this much money?' 'I can't even pay back the manager, let alone that guy in the black suit.' Alone, Mathew wandered through the dimly lit street towards his home, thinking about what he could do. Mathew knew he was in a hopeless situation, and it was hard for him to crawl out of it. He had no one to help him out of the situation. All his friends and family were ordinary people with ordinary life. They could not possibly go against Georgie and his family. So, Mathew had to think of some extreme options as well. And right now, even fleeing the country looked like a feasible option, but what would Mathew do after that? He, along with his parents won't even be able to feed themselves in some foreign land. He couldn’t possibly make his parents starve for the remainder of their life. 'Should I just confess?' Mathew even had this bold idea. But the charges against him scared the shit out of him. Attempted murder? Rape? Wouldn't he end up spending his twent

Chapter - 06 "We are sorry young master, we came late," Mathew was hell confused when a dozen men bowed in front of him in the middle of the street. It all felt like a dream. And to confirm that, his hand slowly made its way down, and Mathew pinched his thigh hard. 'Aah...' Mathew felt the pain jolt his muddled head, 'It's really not a dream... What in the crazy world is going on?' "I am not sure, but I think you all are mistaken," Mathew finally brought out the courage to speak. The vibe was already hard on him. On top of that, he was afraid that if the men found out that he was not really the so-called young master, he would be found in some dumpster the next morning. "It's not a misunderstanding, young master," the man leading the group smiled at Mathew and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Alfred, and we are here to escort you home." Alfred wore a neat, black suit with a bow tie and shiny black shoes. His hair was combed nicely, and his face had that calmness to it. Even hi

Chapter - 07 "Wh..." Mathew was left shell-shocked. The middle-aged man, without saying as much as a single word to anyone slapped Alfred. And he hit Alfred hard in front of everyone. "What are you doing?" Mathew could not help but ask. Even if it might be a misunderstanding, Alfred had been very good to him all along. So instinctively, Mathew stood between Alfred and the man. But much to Mathew's surprise, none of the men and women around them took a stand for Alfred. Instead, all of them stood rooted in their spot, with their head hung low. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man ignored Mathew altogether, "Look at him," the man pointed at Mathew, "Look at his clothes. Does he look like the young master of this house to you?" The man's voice continued to rise. "And what is this? How did he get injured?" The man roared, looking at the bloody leg of Mathew's. He was so angry that he wanted to hit Alfred again, but Mathew hurriedly stood between them. "It was my fault," Mathew said. "Ho

Chapter - 08 "Ahh... Wilson family," Mathew nodded his head, but soon his eyes widened, "The...The WILSON family?" Mathew asked with his voice shaking, 'It can't be that.' When the man saw Mathew looking at him with those shaky eyes, he nodded with a meaningful smile. Wilson Family? Are you kidding me? What was the Wilson family? Everyone in the world and not just the have heard of the Wilson family. They were said to be one of the wealthiest families in the world if not the wealthiest. Mind you, not the wealthiest man, but the wealthiest family. A man's wealth can be limited, but the wealth and power of a family? No one can match it. From needles to guns and matches to rockets, the Wilson family dwelled with everything that could be seen around them. The Wilson family had their fingers in too many pies at the same time. They were just too invincible. Be it a shop, mall or skyscraper. Be it phones, cars or aircraft. Anything one could think of, a high chance was that it could hav

Chapter - 09 'How can it be any more worse than what I already have,' Mathew shrugged. He picked up the pen and, not thinking about it any longer, decided to trust the man in front of him and signed the document. "Here..." Taking the file from Mathew, the man extended a badge and a card towards Mathew. It was a small badge that one could easily pin on one's clothes. "This is the Wilson family's crest," the man said as he pointed at the badge. It was a serpent coiling a hawk, "The Wilson family has always been sly. But more than that, for so many years against all odds, one thing that the Wilson family has shown is tenacity. You may think of it as cliche, but this crest has somehow accurately portrayed the Wilson family for years." "As for this card, keep this with you for the time being. After I am done registering you in the family, I will get you a card specifically for you." The man told Mathew. The card had no name to show whom it belonged to, but it did have the same logo. "

Chapter - 10 It was Georgie who called him. And with him was his ex-girlfriend, Stacy, standing together, hand in hand. "Look at our new superstar," holding Stacy's hands, Georgie walked towards Mathew with a smirk plastered on his face, "You bought yourself some new clothes. Oo... Even your bag looks brand new... Waah... Our Mathew is a rich guy it seems. You must have saved a lot of money cleaning toilets." "But should you pay the settlement money first?" Georgie shook his head. By this time, that friend of Georgie's, who was always carrying a mic and phone, started his broadcast. With the new broadcast and Georgie creating a scene, even those who did not know about the incident from last night would know all about it. "But you know... Even money won't solve the problem. What you did last night can't be washed away with money alone," Georgie let go of Stacy's hand and knocked on Mathew's forehead a couple of times, "You know that, right?" "... Because you are poor, you work pa

Chapter - 11 "You... Where did you get that from?" Georgie's uncle, the Deputy Supriedentent asked, pointing at the card in Mathew's hands. His face looked anxious, staring at the card. "This…”Mathew did not know how to answer it. Robert, his newly found father did not say anything about the card. All he knew that this card could help him pay off the settlement money. ‘But why does he care so much about it? Does he know something that I don’t? This got Mathew to ponder. "... You want me to pay, don't you? I am willing to do it," Mathew tried to steer the conversation away from the card, "But, do you take payments by card? I am sure with how invested you are in such transactions, you must be carrying the machine to swipe it." Mathew whispered the last part, but the Deputy Supriedentent could still hear him. "You..." The Deputy Supriedentent was angry, but he was not the rash type. So, he could only hold back for now. At a glance, the Deputy Supriedentent could tell that the card w

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

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

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!

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 - 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

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.

The boy did not deny it when most people would have.Mathew nodded."It's true that there was some problem with the payment. But it's nothing but his twisted imagination that I came here to steal clothes with my bare face for everyone to see. I am not as stupid as him, after all," Mathew taunted Georgie as he spoke."... And my friend here did call this store shabby," Mathew further told Diana and shrugged, "After all, he is from the capital. He had seen things that this frog can't even imagine.""So you are saying it was right of him to call this store, my store, shabby?" Diana asked as she looked intently at Mathew."No... Not at all," Mathew shook his head, and this made Diana feel a little better, "But who am I to disagree. It's his choice, he can think whatever he wants to." In the end, Mathew ended up taking no side."Is that so?" Diana suddenly found the boy interesting."How dare you talk to her li
