"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 cafeteria, go into the kitchen, get out and from there he will enter the back of his dorm. He was happy to come up with a plan.

He entered the cafeteria but went straight into the kitchen, hiding and making sure no one saw him. He got into the kitchen successfully only for him to feel cold, oily and slimy water on him.

"What the hell." Damson groaned out. A kitchen staff had accidentally poured dirty water on him.

"What are you doing here!?" the kitchen staff shrieked. "Are you planning to go into your dorm from the kitchen?" She asked, angrily.

"Mind your business." Damson replied through gritted teeth, taking some tissues as he tried to wipe off the stain on his clothes.

"Oh God! What is this? My clothes, how will I get this stain off?" Damson said to himself as he stood outside the cafeteria, frustrated as he tried to wipe the oily stains from his face and clothes.

"I can't believe this! It's about to happen!" A voice shouted as a group of friends rushed into the cafeteria, pushing Damson aside.

"C'mon guys, I don't want to miss it." Another voice said as a lot of students made their way into the cafeteria.

"What is happening? Why are they rushing into the cafeteria? Is there free food?" Damson wondered aloud as he tried to see what was going on but it was crowded.

"Hey, wait." Damson said to a boy, stopping him from entering the cafeteria. "What's going on in there?" He asked.

"Caleb is throwing a party for his new girlfriend." The boy replied.

"New girlfriend? He has a new girlfriend?" Damson asked, surprised.

"How about you go in and find out for yourself." The boy muttered, irritated that Damson stopped him.

Damson couldn't believe what he heard. Caleb has a new girlfriend already, after cheating on his own girlfriend? He has moved on just like that?

He hasn't forgiven Caleb for what he did, but he was surprised that he could move on easily from what he did to his girlfriend.

He entered the cafeteria to see the type of girl he finally asked to be his girlfriend but it was filled up with students as they also couldn't wait to see who Caleb was throwing a party for.

Caleb is known as the richest boy on campus, his parents are wealthy and they provide him with every single thing that he wants.

He was also handsome and he made heads turn wherever he went.

Damson forcefully made his way into the crowd, pushing till he got to the front.

Damson's face fell as soon as he saw the lady Caleb chose as his girlfriend. It was Mia!

As he moved towards her, she noticed him and walked towards him, a bright smile on her face.

"Mia…What is going on here?" Damson asked, his voice shaking as he tried to keep his emotions in check.

"What do you mean by that question? Can't you see what's going on here? Or are you blind?" She replied, disgust evident on her face.

"As of today, I'm now Caleb's girlfriend. I'm no longer with you. I'm breaking up with you." She said, smiling smugly.

"Mia… Damson muttered, what…What do you mean?" He asked, stammering.

"Are you deaf or do you want me to repeat myself?" She replied.

Gasps and murmurs went round the cafeteria as everyone saw Mia break up with Damson.

"Mia was dating Damson? Why did she do that to herself?"

"Poor thing? Must have been hard being in a relationship with a loser."

"I understand why Mia broke up with him. I'll also pick Caleb over a loser."

Damson could hear as everyone was talking about how much he was a loser and how Mia did the right thing.

"Will you close your mouth? You look like a dead fish, and even smell like one." She said as she made a stink face.

He watched as Caleb walked up to them, grabbed Mia by her wait and planted a kiss on her lips.

Damson was livid and pained. He loved Mia and saw her as a woman he planned to spend the rest of his life with.

He looked behind Caleb to see his other roommates smirking at him.

They knew about this. They knew Caleb had been seeing Mia and they also knew Caleb was going to ask her to be his girlfriend.

"Are you okay?" They asked as they stood in front of him.

"I'm sure this might have come as a bit of a shock, you should drink this, you'll feel better. One of them said, with concern as he handed a glass of alcohol to Damson.

Damson hit the hand holding the drink and grabbed the guy by the collar of his shirt. "You think this is funny?" He boomed, his face flushed with anger.

"He was just trying to help." the other said, trying to remove Damson's grip from his shirt.

"Chill out bro." He said as he separated them.

"Don't tell me that." Damson said through gritted teeth as he knew they were mocking him.

"You're such a loser! Couldn't you see they were just trying to help!?" A voice yelled out.

"He's a pathetic fool!"

"A good for nothing!"

"See his clothes, and his shoes, He looks like a beggar!"

Damson watched as everyone in the cafeteria started hurling insults and also shaming him.

All of a sudden, a car came to a screeching halt outside the cafeteria. Making everyone turn around. All the comments hurled at Damson stopped as everyone's attention was on the car.

It was a luxurious car, a Bently. The students were surprised and wanted to know why a Bently was in front of their cafeteria.

As they were staring at the car, murmuring amongst themselves, the Vice chancellor came out of the car, with a man next to him.

He walked into the cafeteria, as the students paved the way for him.

"Why is the vice chancellor here?"

"Who is the man next to him?"

"Did you see that car!?"

"Mr Malcom." The vice chancellor said, facing Damson.

"Please come with me to my office."

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?

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?

You could have just agreed to not being able to afford it than making a fool outta yourself.”“Young man, don't waste my time, you need to make your payment or you will not like the consequences of your actions.” The waitress said. “How about you collect the card from me and check if it's real or not? At least you'll find out if it is ancient-”Before he could complete the sentence, Mia walked forward and snatched the card out of his hands, taking a close look at it. “Are you sure you didn't go and dig the ground in one of your dirty places for this card?” she asked.“I don't think I've seen this card before. So black, bare and ugly like you.” she continued, making everyone burst out in laughter. “He probably had planned to try and deceive the waitress, thinking he could fool everyone, but only made

    “Well, well, well. Looks like the card was not fake after all. It's real.” Officer Ryder said, holding up his hand, silencing everyone. Damson let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face. “I told you, officer Ryder, I wasn't trying to scam anyone.”“Now that everything has been sorted out. Let me make this clear. I do not want to hear any noise from you guys again. You all need to focus on your studies and stop spreading rumors and causing trouble.” Officer Ryder said, clearing his throat. “I'm keeping an eye on you.” Officer Ryder said, pointing at Caleb. “Any more trouble from you or your friends, and there will be consequences. Do you understand!?” Caleb nodded silently as he was still in shock. He was still trying to process how Damson was able to afford 20,000 dollars. “I'll be on my way now.” Officer Ryder said as he turned and left the cafeteria. As soon as officer Ryder left the cafeteria, the students swarmed around Damson asking him questions. “How did

    As Damson walked home from the cafeteria, a satisfied smile spread across his face. He was happy about the turn of events at the cafeteria and he was proud of himself for having the last say. The look on Mia and Caleb's face was priceless. He replayed the moment in his head, chuckling to himself. He had never felt so confident and in control. For once, he wasn't belittled. He came on top by surprising them with the card and him paying 20,000 dollars and he felt amazing. As he walked on, he heard a rustling sound, which made him look back, but all he saw was pitch black as it was late already. Most of the students were in their dorm, while some were scattered around but far away from him. He shrugged the noise off and continued walking. He figured it might just be his imagination. He continued walking but stopped again after hearing footsteps and rustling sounds. He knew he wasn't alone. “Luke! Fred!” Damson called out. His voice echoed, but there was no response. He knew Fred an

    Damson laid on the floor, groaning in pain, his body trembling as he took in hard breaths. He was bleeding heavily, his vision blurring as his eyes struggled to stay open. He tried to shout for help, but he couldn't, the pain was unbearable. He placed his hands on the wound, applying pressure. As he laid on the floor, he couldn't help but think that this was the end. This was how he was going to die. No one knew he came here, he was far away from the school and didn't tell anyone he was leaving. He tried to move his body, to crawl towards the door, but his body wouldn't respond. "Help…Somebody help me.." He used his last energy to cry out. He could feel himself slipping away, his vision fading to black and his words slurring when he heard the door opening and a shrill scream filled the air. Damson struggled to stay focused, his eyes blurry, and saw the hotel cleaner standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with panic.. She was dressed in a bright yellow uniform, her tag reading Mar

    The room fell silent as they listened to the doctor speak. Maria's face widened in shock and Luis's face held the same reaction. "What? What are you talking about? Luis asked, shock evident on his face. How can young master be in critical condition? Impossible!""A liver transplant?" Maria repeated, her voice low and barely above a whisper. How soon does he need one?""We're already searching for a matching donor, but time is running out. Every minute counts. We need to act fast if we want to save his life.""His family members need to be here. We need to test and check if they are a match with the patient." The doctor said, excusing himself. As soon as he left, Luis immediately called Damson's parents. "Sir!" He said as soon as Damson's dad picked up the phone. "Damson was attacked and he's in the hospital right now. He's in a critical condition and needs a liver transplant as soon as possible."Few minutes later, Damson's parents rushed into the hospital, their faces filled with

    “I worked all my life for your father,” Luis began, his voice filled with bitterness. “Tirelessly helped him build Stellarcorp from the ground up. And when the company became big, he still used me like a fool.”“I didn’t mind at first,” he continued. “I treated Stellarcorp like it was mine too. Gave it everything. But then, out of nowhere, he decides to look for his long-lost son, to give you the company.”Luis scoffed.“He didn’t even ask me what I thought. Didn’t care. Just ordered me to find you and hand it all over. To make it worse, he told me to watch over you while you ran the company. Can you imagine that? Me, the man who brought Stellarcorp to fame, reduced to your babysitter.”“The company should have been mine, not yours. Your father’s lucky he died when he did, helping you escape. It was supposed to be you six feet under, not him. But you were just lucky that day. My men did a sloppy job.”Suddenly, a voice rang out.“Enough of your talk, just kill this bastard already!”

    “Am I in a moving car? I’m definitely in one.” Damson thought to himself as he opened his eyes groggily. He tried to sit up and realized he was in the trunk of a car. He banged on it several times, trying to get it open, but it wouldn’t budge. He began to sweat, helpless and disoriented, forced to wait until someone decided to open it.“Who did this to me? What happened?”“Why can’t I remember being put in the trunk?” Is Maria okay? Was she also shoved into another car?”So many questions ran through Damson’s head. He was confused. His head felt heavy, too big to carry.He eventually laid back down and decided to wait until the car stopped. After about twenty minutes of pure torture, the car finally came to a halt. Damson let out a small sigh of relief. He heard muffled voices outside, and then suddenly, the trunk flung open.He blinked against the light and tried to sit up, but his body failed him. He couldn’t move. No matter how hard he tried, only his head responded. “What the he

    Maria sat in the car, fiddling with her fingers, random thoughts flying through her mind as she stared out the window. Kate was seated beside her, and two other men were in the car with them.She didn’t fully understand what she was doing or what she had just agreed to but one thing was clear, she couldn’t die because of someone else.Damson would do the same, right? Maria wondered, now biting her nails.He’d choose survival too, even if it meant putting me in danger… right? Anyone would… right? She was disturbed.“But Damson betrayed me too. He treated me like a fool, lied to me, and deceived me. I thought that we were close, that our bond was real.”“Had he been acting all along?”“How is he even the president of StellarCorp? When did that happen?”“He was the poorest student in school. So how? It doesn’t make sense.” Maria’s thoughts raced, growing angrier by the second.“I could’ve gotten more opportunities. I could’ve had a good job in his company. I was close to him! But he de

    “What! No, no, please don’t kill me. Please don’t,” Maria cried, scared for her life. Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions. She was scared, disturbed, and deeply worried and she couldn’t help but be angry at Damson for dragging her into his mess.She was in this situation because of him.“Caleb and the boss want Damson dead, and now, because of him, I’m going to die too.” She thought to herself. “Where’s Kate?” the boss asked, ignoring Maria’s cries.“Since the last time she almost got caught by Damson, Kate had been lying low.” One of the men replied. “Tell her to come here right now. She has someone to get rid of.”“Is that really the next thing you’re supposed to do? I don’t care what you do with Maria, but can it wait till we finish off Damson? Why are you wasting time killing people you’re not supposed to!?” Caleb asked the boss, frustrated.“It’s your fault this is happening!” the boss snapped. “I told you nobody was supposed to know that Damson is the president of Stel

    Caleb ran his hand through his hair angrily. His body trembled, and all he wanted to do was find Damson and end his life. He wasn’t interested in whatever plan the boss had to offer. He just wanted to carry out his own.His life had taken a dip after his father lost his company and couldn’t get help from anyone. He had called all his father’s friends and visited different companies for assistance, but everyone gave him the same answer, they couldn’t help. He was devastated. His father became ill, and they had to sell their cars and properties just to afford treatment.Caleb was left with nothing. He was broke and had to struggle to get by every day. Because of that, he hardly showed up at school. Everyone had known him as one of the richest boys in the university, but now, everything was gone. He had nothing.To avoid questions and rumors, he stayed away from school and wandered around. He spent most of his days at clubs, stealing from people and drinking. It was during one of those

    Maria blinked hard, hoping she was seeing the wrong person but she wasn’t. She didn’t want to believe who stood in front of her.“Long time no see, Maria,” Caleb said, smiling sheepishly. “Did you miss me?”“Caleb… what…what is going on? Why are you here? Why am I here? Who are these people?” Maria stuttered, struggling to pull herself together. She didn’t want to believe Caleb had anything to do with her being kidnapped.“I asked you a question, but you’re throwing more at me in return.” Caleb said, his smile fading. “Courtesy demands you greet someone when you’re seeing them for the first time in a long while. Or have I become just ‘anyone’ to you now? Have you forgotten me so easily, huh? I made you a university student and suddenly you’ve grown proud?”“Cut it out, Caleb, and answer me!” Maria snapped, cutting him off. “What the hell am I doing here!?

    Maria paced back and forth, staring at her phone. She had spent the last few days thinking about the argument she had with Damson. She hadn’t tried to reach out to him since they last spoke, and he hadn’t reached out to her either. She was angry about that, but she had more to think about than just her anger.Damson and Viktor had acted really suspicious on the day she last spoke to Damson, and she was dying to know what was going on. “What emergency could Viktor have been talking about that made Damson react that way? What exactly went wrong?” she wondered to herself.She had had her suspicions about Damson before that day, but the way he acted even when he was injured made her realize something was definitely going on.She decided to find out for herself, so she packed her bags and left for Damson’s apartment. She wanted answers. She needed to know what was going on — and most importantly, the truth about his relationship with Luis, who represented Stellarcorp at the charity organi
