Sasha glared at the lady as she slammed the bills on the table. She was determined not to back down, so she pulled Damson to a corner, whispering to him. "I need $2000 dollars, right now." Damson looked at her in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock. "What do you mean, Sasha? We're here to buy just a ticket, not 20 tickets! We didn't plan for this. You're going too far. Let's focus on why we came here." "I know, but I can't let them win. They're trying to intimidate us. They think they're better than us just because they have more money? No way. I need $2000 to show them we do belong on the same level." "We're not riffraffs, but by the time we leave this place without doing anything, we're accepting that everything that everything they said is true." Damson shook his head. " Sasha, think about it, We're students. We don't have that kind of money and even if we did, it's not worth it just to prove a point. We don't even know them. Let's just leave."Sasha was adamant. "Find a way,
Damson left the bathroom and went straight to the office where the previous owner, Mr Matthews, was sitting. He barged in without knocking, which made Mr Matthews glare angrily at him. "Who are you and what do you think you're doing in my office?" Mr Matthews asked, angrily. "Have you no manners? Who sent you to my office? I already told my workers to let you all know I have no hand in the winning process. If you're here to beg me for help, I can't do anything. Get out of my office, you rude and mannerless fool." Damson chuckled, sitting down on a chair. "Quiet! Your voice is too loud, you're hurting my ears. I'm right in front of you, you don't have to yell." Mr Matthews was surprised. He saw that Damson was wearing the shirt that had a university logo on it, so he was just an ordinary student. "A university student is right here in my office, telling me to keep quiet? Are you out of your mind?" He grabbed Damson by his collar, fuming with anger. "You must be crazy. You think yo
Damson was caught off guard and couldn't react fast enough. He watched as the person dissappear into the crowd, taking the money with him. He immediately stood up and ran after the person. "Stop, thief! Stop running!" He yelled as he chased the person who had taken the bag. "I'll call the police if you don't stop!" He threatened, bumping into people and breathing hard. But the person didn't stop, he kept running and dodging through the crowd and cars. Just as Damson was about to give up chasing after the thief, the person's hoodie fell off, revealing a face he didn't expect. It was Kate! He was shocked. She looked back, smiled, quickly covered her head and ran as fast as she could, with Damson chasing after her. Damson had been trying to find Kate for a while. The last time he saw her was on a CCTV footage, and now he finally had a chance to catch up with her. He pulled out his phone and called Luis, breathing heavily. "Luis, I need your help." Damson said. "I just saw Kate and
Damson, who had been watching Madison's mother with growing irritation, quickly stepped forward and held her hand as she grabbed the scalpel. "This is a hospital." He said, angrily. "You're causing a scene and disturbing the other patients. Luke is also a patient, stop handling him like he's not. He's also injured. Can't you see the cast on his leg? You need to let go of him right now."He quickly pried the scalpel out of her hand, handing it to a nurse standing nearby, who quickly took it away. Everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe Damson stood up to Madison's mother after what she had said. "Does he have a death wish?" Linda whispered to Aria. "What is he thinking? He's so stupid." Aria nodded in agreement. "Madison's mother is going to crush him like a bug. What was he thinking, standing up to her like that? He's either very brave or very stupid. I'm not sure which one it is."Linda shook her head. "I think it's a little bit of both. He's in deep trouble today."The two g
It had been a month since Damson last saw Maria. He had received many text and calls from her, but he ignored them all. He knew he had done something wrong, but he wasn't ready to reveal his true identity to her, and he was also avoiding her questions. Feeling guilty for ghosting her, he decided to check up on her. He initially wanted to call Luis to pick him up from school, but he changed his mind. Instead, he took a taxi to the apartment. When he arrived, he noticed a black van parked outside. Confused, he walked closer to check it out, that's when he saw Maria struggling with two men. They were trying to drag her into the van."I'm not going with you! Leave me alone! Stay away from me, I'm going to call the police if you don't let me go." Maria screamed, struggling to break free from the men's grip. "I promised to pay you back. It's not two months yet. You can't take me with you! Somebody help me, please! Help!" She screamed, fighting back tears."You can't do this to me!" She
Maria woke up with a terrible headache. She sat up slowly, holding her head in her hands. She looked around, taking in her surroundings and found out she was back in the apartment, but she didn't remember how she got there. The last thing she remembered was almost getting hit by a car. She dragged herself out of bed and walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, trying to remember if she came back to the apartment on her own or someone brought her back but she was sure no one saw her leave the house. As she entered the kitchen, she was surprised to see Damson cooking at the stove. At first, she was surprised and happy to see him, but got angry immediately when she remembered what he had done to her. "What do you think you're doing here?" She asked, angrily, folding her arms. Damson turned to her, a smirk on his face. "Oh, you're finally awake. I was getting worried. You seem to forget that I also live here." He said, his tone playful.Maria let out a sarcastic laugh. "'Livin
Luis fixed Damsons tie, concern visible on his face. "Young master, are you sure you're ready to face the shareholders?"Damson nodded. "I'm ready, Luis. One way or the other, I have to face them. If I don't do it now, they might sell their shares and before that happens, I need to show them what I'm capable of." Damson rubbed his hands, nervous. He hadn't slept much the night before. The first reason was because of Maria. Last night didn't go as planned. She was angry with him and her reasons were valid. He wanted her to share everything about herself, but he was holding back from telling her the truth about himself. He was also worried about the meeting with the shareholders, he didn't know them and didn't know what to expect. Luis had sent him files about them, including their names and what he should expect from them. There were five of them: Ethan Thompson, Alexander Pierce, Julian Lee, Gabriel Reed and Lucas Brooke. Julian Lee and Lucas Brooke were businessmen who took thei
"As for you two. Damson said, pointing at Julian and Lucas. I know all about your silly and foul games. I have the annual financial records with me here and from what I've investigated, the funds you've been receiving in your accounts haven't been matching with what's written down in the records. Do you want me to investigate further and see why there's no balance?" Damson laughed, a cold hard sound. "You want to continue your fraudulent activities, that's why you want to get rid of me? You're very wrong. I'm here to stay and I'll make sure to get rid of leeches like you all from my company. You dare look down on me? You're all crazy fools." The shareholders were shocked and scared, their faces pale. They hadn't expected an outburst from Damson. They thought he was someone they could push around and control, but Damson just proved them wrong. He stood his ground."I didn't agree to this meeting in the first place." Alexander said, sitting up, his voice shaking. "I really don't have
