Smith watched everyone as they grumbled angrily. He didn't want to be blamed but wanted to be the one to pay his bills. He was surprised Damson could offer to pay for his food. If he could decide to pay for his food, that means he has the money. But how? He was confused.The waiter collected Damson's card and processed the payment. It was successful. Everyone was surprised and stunned. They didn't expect it to work. Damson collected his card and walked out of the hotel."Is that the same person we attended high school with?""How was he able to afford the bills?""Where did he get that card from? What if he had more money in it?""Wow! What is going on?"Smith was shocked. He didn't know how Damson was able to afford the money. He expected the card to decline or not even have the sufficient funds. "How could you guys fall for that?" Smith asked, facing the others. "Something is fishy. We all knew the type of person he was growing up. He never had money. He begged us for our snacks
Nora burst into laughter as she watched Damson stand confidently in front of her. "Do you mind repeating yourself again?" she asked, holding her stomach and trying to stop herself from laughing. "I work in this company." Damson said, again confidently. "Who? You? Who gave you a job in this big company? You think it's accessible for people like you? You must be out of your mind.""Do you know how long it took me before I was acknowledged here, before I got to do my internship? It was solely because of the connections my father had here. You're just a nobody, claiming that you work here. You must be delusional." "See how you're dressed. Your clothes are old and worn out. Don't even get me started on your shoes. You got a job here looking like that? Must be a joke.""Who gave you the job? What do you do here? What job were you offered? I'm sure you're lying." Nora said, folding her arms. "Oh, oh, oh. I think I get it." The security guard said suddenly, laughing. "You must be a cle
Nora was ashamed. She wanted the floor to open up and swallow her. She never imagined herself pleading with Damson for a job offer. Last night, during the reunion, she hated the idea of Damson sitting next to her or being around her. Today, she's willing to do whatever he wants her to do to get her internship. Damson stared at her as he thought to himself. He wanted to have no mercy on her, but he decided that it's not the time yet. For now, he will have mercy.If he decides to cancel her name out of the internship list, he was hundred percent sure she would go around telling people about him and he needed her mouth shut."You said you'll do anything I ask and want right?" Damson asked, looking straight into her eyes. "Yes, yes. I will do anything to get the internship." She said, bowing her head, avoiding eye contact. "You have two major offenses that can make you not to get this offer, but I'm willing to overlook it.""You will get the internship offer if and only if you do not
"Instead of trying to hide behind the fact that the pay is too high, how about you come clean and say you cannot afford the payment." Caleb snorted."I think it's no news Damson hasn't been able to afford the prior payments and according to what I heard, his card is no longer with him. He bought food in the cafeteria with his girlfriend and was unable to pay. She ended up paying for both of them.""I think it all makes sense now. The card he stole has either been taken away from him, or he has spent all the money. He's back to ground zero." "There's no reason to try to lie, or hide behind that. We'll just do what we always did before, when you couldn't pay the maintenance fee.""You will do our laundry and we'll overlook the fact that you didn't pay."Caleb said with a smile Damson burst into laughter, shaking his head. "I will not be doing that, I'll rather lick your feet than do your laundry again." "You had no problem doing it back then, you were always happy washing the clothes.
"What do you mean everything went black, mum?" Caleb asked, confused."I mean that I fainted. The shock of seeing your father lying on the floor…it was too much for me. I couldn't handle it.""I woke up to see the maids trying to revive your father, but he wasn't responsive, the ambulance came within minutes and they took him to the hospital."Caleb hugged his mum. "Oh, mum, I'm so sorry. You must have been so scared."His mum nodded, tears streaming down her face. "I was. I'm still scared, Caleb. We don't know what's wrong with your father yet. All we can do is hope and pray that he will be okay.""Don't worry, mum, I'm sure it's nothing serious. Caleb said, trying to reassure her. Sad will be okay."His mum smiled weakly. "I hope so, I really do."After what felt like an eternity, the doctor finally came to update them on their dad's condition. "I have good news." He said with a smile. "Mr Anderson is awake, he's going to be just fine."Caleb, his mum and Emily all exchanged a reli
The next morning, Damson's phone rang, waking him up. He groggily answered it, and Luus's voice was on the other end. "Young master, there are some people here at the company, they want to see you." Luis said. Damson rubbed his eyes and tried to shake off the sleep. "Who are they?" He asked, his voice still husky from sleep. Luis hesitated for a minute. "I think it's better you see them for yourself, young master."Damson didn't like the sound of that. He wondered who might have come to the company to see him. "Tell them I'm not available today, they can come another day.""Young master, they're not leaving until they see you. I think you should come to the company. This is not something I can explain on the phone" Luis replied. Damson sighed, feeling frustrated and tired. All he wanted to do today was relax and rest. Caleb didn't come back to the room last night which means he could breath and have a good day without his side remarks. He slowly got out of bed, freshened up and m
Damson was very angry with Luis. "Why didn't tell me about my father's family? Why didn't you inform me that he had a twin brother?" He asked, his voice loud. "I'm sorry, young master. Your father told me to keep it a secret. He said you had to find out about them on your own." Luis said, bowing, avoiding eye contact. Damson narrowed his eyes. "What's going on Luis. Why are there so many secrets and tests? Can't we just be a normal family like everyone else? How much more secrets do I have to find out myself? What more are you hiding from me?"Luis sighed. "Your father wants you to be strong, young master. He knows that if you want to be in charge of Stellarcorp and the Underworld, you'll face many challenges. He wants you to be able to stand up for yourself and fight for what's yours." Damson rubbed his face, feeling frustrated. "I don't know how much more of this I can take, Luis. I have Marcus's men chasing me, there's Kate too, we're still looking for her. Now I have to deal wi
Damson shrugged as he read Lily's message. He didn't need to reply her as he doesn't need to do such jobs again, but he decided to. He's not just anyone, he's the president of Stellarcorp. "I won't be available tonight Lily, I have things to do." He typed, sending the message.Lily replied immediately. "You can't just bail out on us Damson. We've been struggling with all our stuff for weeks since you disappeared. Tonight is important. Sasha will be around and we can't mess things up. We need all hands on deck."Damson smiled when he saw Sasha's name. She was the former leader of the sparkle squad and Damson might have had a little crush on her before she handed her position to Lily. He hadn't seen her in her in a while and the thought of seeing her tonight made him reconsider. "Alright, fine." Damson typed. "I'll be there."Lily's response came quickly. "Thank you! See you at 8pm sharp at the basketball court."Night time came by pretty fast and Damson was looking through his cloth
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
