These clothes are not properly washed!" Caleb shouted from the other side of the room, making Damson groan out loudly. He let out a puff of air as Caleb came into the bathroom. He tried to control his anger, he was at the verge of breaking down, but he seriously needed the money from doing his laundry. He had been working hard, going on numerous and ridiculous errands for his mates. He also did a lot of part time jobs. He needed the extra cash so he could afford a ring his girlfriend, Mia, wanted for her birthday. Damson really loved her and always dreamt of them spending the rest of their lives together. He would do anything to make her happy. He has been trying his best, living from hand to mouth to satisfy her wants, despite him being really broke. He smiled at the thought of the excitement he'll get to see on her face when he gets her the ring and that gave him more energy to work more and harder. He hated the idea of doing Caleb's laundry. He's a rich, rude and snobbish gu
I'm the what?" Damson asked, trying to hold back his laughter."You're the next heir to the family's company, young master and we need you.” The caller replied. Damson burst out in a fit of laughter. "Is this a prank?" "This must be a prank.” He said."This is not a prank young master, there's a lot to talk about, which I cannot do over the phone. Would you kindly tell me your location, I'll come and pick you up.” The caller said. Damson kept quiet for a moment. He had no idea who the caller was and he was skeptical about revealing his location just like that. "I'm a student of Palmers University. You can wait at the university gate. I'll meet you there.” Damson said, after so much begging from the caller to share his location. "Thank you, young master.”The caller said happily"I'll be there as early as possible.” He said before disconnecting the call. Damson went back to sleep, his mind lingering around Mia, her betrayal and the call with the stranger. ***It was 10am in the
"What is this? A free club membership card?" she shouted angrily. "Does this place look like a joke to you?""Not only are you wretched and poor, you're also mentally derailed." she shouted at him, making everyone look at him. "Security! Please come and drag this boy out of this place." she continued. Before Damson could explain that he gave her the wrong card, the security guards already dragged him out. "I have the membership card.” Damson shouted as he struggled with the security guards.. "You don't have it, you liar." she replied, walking towards him. "I think you need to go for a check up. I understand why you are behaving like this. Poverty can make you think of the impossible.""You do not have the membership card." she continued "Will you at least, let me prove that I have the card, before you come up with your ridiculous conclusions?" Damson said angrily. "I put the club membership card and the bank membership card together in my pocket, so they got mixed up. This is
Damson was furious as he watched the bank manager call the security on him. "This is the membership card with me. Here is the proof that I came here for a reason, which is to withdraw an amount of money. I just want my money." he said, frustrated."Where did you get this card from?" the bank manager asked as he snatched the card from damson. "This card is not an ordinary card you can see or find anywhere. The only reason that you have this card with you right now is because you stole it!""I know thieves from the first glance and I do know you're one. Not only did you steal this card, you also had the audacity to come into the bank, claiming it's yours." "This might not be your first time stealing but it will surely be the last. You might have thought you would never get caught, but today is not your lucky day." he continued, angrily."The card is mine, I didn't steal it! I am not a thief and I won't let you treat me as one." Damson said as he struggled to fight off the security gu
"Oh, shit. I'm going to be late." Damson thought to himself as he looked at the time displayed in the taxi's dashboard. "Can you go faster, please? I need to get to school as soon as possible or else I won't be able to get into my dorm." He pleaded with the driver. "Do you want me to fly? Don't you tell me what to do!" the driver replied angrily."If you knew you were in a hurry to go back to your dorm, you would have left where you were early. It's better you shut your filthy mouth and mind yourself." "Why so angry?" Damson muttered to himself as he decided to keep quiet. The turn of events at the bank was still fresh in his memory and the last thing he wanted to do was to get into a fight with the driver.When he got to school, he realized he was really late and couldn't go to the dorm again. He didn't also want the security to start asking him questions and stressing him on why he chose to come late. Instead, he made his way to the cafeteria. The plan was to enter the cafeteri
Damson was surprised to see the vice chancellor and was more surprised when he asked him to come with him. Everyone around watched as the vice chancellor stood in front of Damson and waited for him to respond to him. “How does the vice chancellor know him?”“Why is he here?”“Why couldn't he just call Damson to his office?“Don't you think it's weird that the vice chancellor came with someone in a Bently to see him?”“How can someone poor like Brad get special attention from the vice chancellor?” Murmurs and questions filled the air as everyone was trying to understand what was going on. “Mr Malcom. we need to go.” the vice chancellor said again, clearing his throat. “Alright.” Damson nodded as he followed the vice chancellor to the car, with everyone staring at them till the car got out of sight.Damson kept wondering why the vice chancellor came for him. He also noticed that the vice chancellor called him by his last name with a hint of respect in his tone. It was rare for the
“What Is going on? Why are there a lot of students at the door?” Damson whispered to his friends, confusion etched on his face.“I don't know, I think it's best if we open the door before they break it.” Fred said as he opened the door. Damson was surprised to see a number of students at the door. What surprised him more was the fact that they all looked angry and ready to pounce on him. “Where have you been all day?” One of the male students asked, as he faced Damson angrily.“You think you can just promise us dinner and get away with it.” Another voice said “Leave him!” He thinks he can just stay in his room and act like he did nothing? He wants to take us as fools?”“Wait guys, I didn't promise anyone dinner.” Damson said, looking around in confusion. “Oh please, cut the crap. Do we look like we're here to joke with you? You think you can just play us?”“You promised the students in the cafeteria free dinner then you ran away.”“You really think you can escape?” The male studen
“What the hell!” Mia screamed out, as she vigorously tried to clean the water that spilled on her ring. The water Damson spilled on the ring came as a shock as she didn't see it coming.“Are you blind? Can't you see? Do you want to ruin my ring?” she continued as her face flushed with anger.“You probably hate the fact that Caleb bought me the ring you couldn't even get for me and you're trying so badly to ruin it.”"You're just jealous and angry I left you for a better option. I'll pick Caleb over you anytime. You're just a servant boy and will always be a servant boy"“Am I to be blamed for your miserable life? You're a good-for-nothing human being.” she screamed at him.Mia's words pierced Damson's heart. His cheeks burnt with anger and he tried to fight back the tears that had built up in his eyes. “What is wrong with you!?”Caleb yelled angrily as he grabbed Damson by the collar of his shirt.“Did you just do that on purpose? Do you know how much I got the ring? Do you know how
They got to the wedding location and they walked towards the building. They got to the entrance only to realize that someone was telling people to return back home. Damson was wondering why and what was going on.People stood in batches, whispering to themselves as they all talked about what happened but Damson didn't understand what they were saying. He walked forward to meet the person that was sending people back and asked him what was happening. "The issue right now is that the family of the bride just realized that her husband paid fake money to us as her bride price. This is such a disgrace to us and because of that this wedding won't hold anymore!""Viktor thinks he can outsmart us and make us look like fools? That is very wrong! He thinks because we are illiterates and didn't go to school he can play on our intelligence? He is very wrong." "We're no longer giving him a chance to get married to our family! He is a very bad person and can't be trusted. All he would do is brin
Days passed by in a blur and Damson was starting to get used to living in the Wilson's house. Laura's cousin still made things difficult for him while Mrs Wilson was always oblivious to things happening around her.Laura's cousin used her as her puppet to make life unbearable for Damson but she wasn't smart enough to even realize that. She was really that oblivious. Things became very awkward between Damson and Laura after what happened to her in her professor's office. After she had told Damson to follow her to the student union building to report the professor, she went back to grab her bag from the sculpture room. She had told Damson to leave her alone and go but he didn't. She was injured and he just couldn't leave her alone. They were walking home together when all of a sudden, she sat on the floor and started to cry. Everything that happened and the pain she was feeling from her entire body was too much that she started to cry. It took Damson by surprise and after watching he
Laura looked at the professor to see his eyes widen with shock and surprise. She wasted no time and decided to run for the door but luck wasn't on her side. The professor was faster than her and pulled her to the floor with her hair."You bitch!" He snarled as he sat on top of her. "You think you can try to escape from me? Never! Not under my watch" Laura screamed in fear as she saw the look on the professor's face. He looked so feral and scary. "Somebody help me. Please help me!" She screamed out loudly. The professor hit her mouth to keep her from shouting but she fought back and continued to scream.She couldn't scream before because even if she had, nobody would be able to save her because the door was already locked automatically from inside. She had been saving her strength from when she would need it. The professor had forgotten that she had actually opened the door and anybody could walk in. He was focused mainly on the fact that he had caught her and could have her to hims
"Just as I said earlier, I never do this without consent from the other party. I always told the girls to go and think about it before I decide to have sex with them. I'm a man of principles and my girls know that." "Both parties would enjoy themselves and in the end, we get what we wanted. They get really good grades while I get my own satisfaction. It's a win-win situation." "I have had my eyes on you for some time now but you've been that little miss perfect. You also seemed to think that you'll never be at my mercy but look at you now, shaking and whimpering. Why did you have to start what you couldn't finish?" "I am so going to deal with you and ruin you beyond recognition, just like I did for the phone. You will not be able to tell anyone about it because you will be traumatized. You will end up regretting why you didn't just agree to the options that I had laid out for you." The professor said unbuttoning his shirt. Laura's eyes widened as she realized what the professor w
“You need to open the door and let me leave immediately." Laura replied, fear evident in her eyes. She didn't know how the professor was able to lock the door automatically and she didn't see it coming.The professor walked up to her and backed her up against the wall. "I was going to let you leave with your two legs out of my office but it's not looking like it anymore. I gave you a chance to make a decision without forcing you but all I got in return was a recording from you. You even went as far as threatening me and saying that you will testify against me." "You shouldn't have said those things to me when you're still in my den! You should have just walked out and not say anything and I wouldn't have known that you recorded me but you just proved that you're not so smart." "It didn't have to end this way but you asked for it. Now hand over your phone to me right now!" The professor barked and Laura shook her head. "No, I'm not giving you my phone. Let me out of your office im
"I've been looking forward to this day for a very long time and I couldn't be any more glad that it's here. I waited for the day when you'll need my help and you'll walk with yiur two legs into my office.""You see, you couldn't fall into my trap because you took my course seriously and there was never a chance to fail you but right now, you have messed up. You don't have my attendance and my assignment , so what are you going to do now?" He asked, rubbing her arms. "Please sir, stop this." Laura muttered, clenching her fist together. She was disgusted and irritated by the professor's behavior but she knew better than to lash out at him if she didn't want to be in more trouble. The professor chuckled, raising his hands up. "Okay, fine. The ball is in your court. What would your choice be? You can easily just walk out of here if you want, i won't stop you but the problem is, you will have to fail my course." "If you do as I just say, inside this room with nobody finding out, you'll
“What type of hate do you have towards me and my family that you had to play such an expensive joke." Damson listened to what Laura had to say and he was able to put two and two together. She had no idea about what her father was doing. Of course, no one knew who he was. In his school, nobody knows that he's the president of Stellarcorp but even after she found out about that, her dad was supposed to explain to her that it wasn't true and that he was just hiding his true self from others but he didn't. He also didn't think that Laura knew about the fact that he had to sign some documents concerning the marriage with him. She's just a pawn that her father is using. She wasn't genuinely interested in the marriage after finding out from his school that he was nothing but her father didn't listen to her."I know that you'll have nothing to say because you have been caught in the act. If not for the fact that my father is already obsessed with this whole thing and I really don't have an
"I don't understand you. What do you mean by the sculpture is broken?" Damson asked, confusion etched on his face. CAre you seriously trying to play dumb? This sculpture wasn't like this when I saw it this morning. It was intact! There was nothing wrong with it but all of a sudden it's broken. How do you explain that? What did you do?" Laura asked again, yelling. "Hey, you seriously need to calm down because I have no idea about what you're talking about. This sculpture was given to me this morning by your mum and all I did was just put it in my bag. I really don't know how it was broken." Damson explained. "Oh, so now you're trying to tell me that my mum was the one that broke it? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" Damson let out a sigh. "No, I'm not saying that. I didn't even check it when it was given to me. Who knows if there had been an issue with it before then but one thing I know for sure is that I didn't break it." "Your mum said it was quite important to you so wh
Mrs Wilson was about to call a maid to quickly get the sculpture to Laura's school but she stopped her and told her to send Damson instead. That he should be able to do things like this. If there weren't any maids around, he would have to go. She also reminded her not to forget that they were married. Mrs Wilson agreed to her idea and that's how she ended up telling Damson to take the sculpture to her school. Damson called Viktor and told him to come and pick him up because he still wasn't familiar with the roads that led to the school from the Wilson's house. He used his phone and waited till Viktor arrived. Then he told him to drive him to his school. He had totally forgotten about Laura's sculpture that was in his bag. He didn't remember that he had to drop it off for her. Damson got to his school and sorted out his courses. He also spent time with his roommates after because they went together from office to office to do it together. Back in Laura's school. It was time for
