2024-04-08 14:15:56Damson 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 vice chancellor to refer to people by their last name and it is even more surprising that it is someone like him he treated with respect.“Does it mean that the vice chancellor knows about his secret? Does he know who he truly is?” he thought to himself.“I'm sure he does. I'm sure he has found out already.”Damson was really curious to know why the vice chancellor came for him. He couldn't hold it any longer and quietly tapped him, calling his attention.“Why did you come for me sir? Where are we going? Is everything alright?” Damson asked“Oh yes. Everything is fine. I'm taking you to meet your brother. He's waiting for you in my office.” The vice chancellor explained.“My brother? I have a brother? I don't remember my parents telling me I have a brother. I thought I was an only child.” Damson was confused.Few minutes later, the car parked in front of the vice chancellor's office. They got out of the car and made their way into the office.Inside the office sat a man, he had a buzz haircut, and was dressed in a shirt and trousers. He also had some visible scars on his arms, neck and face.Damson hesitated for a bit before walking towards him. As soon as his brother noticed him, he stood up and hugged him.I'm so glad you're alive. He said smiling. I thought you were dead or lost forever.“Are you really my brother?” Damson asked with raised eyebrows. His elder brother could see the confusion on his face.“How about we sit and I explain to you.” He said, as he sat down waiting for Damson to do the same.“I'm sure mum and dad already explained the test you had to pass through for you to the heir to the company. I also went through the same test.”“After spending some time in the orphanage. I got adopted into a lovely family and started living a normal life.”“I graduated from university and joined the military. They found me and told me about the truth.”“I was told to come back and manage the company but I was not interested. I already took an oath to serve the country.” he explained.Damson listened as his brother explained, nodding at intervals.“You might also be wondering why our parents didn't tell you the day you met them” he continued.There was so much you could accept in a day.“This is a lot.” Damson sighed as he rubbed his hands over his face.“Is this why you came to see me in school? To explain who you are to me?” he asked his brother.“Oh, no. The reason I'm here is to let you know that our father wants you to manage the main company as soon as possible. He said bringing out some sheets of paper, handing them over to Damson.”“Stellar tech.” Damson muttered as he ran his eyes through the papers.“Stellar tech is a subsidiary of Stellarcorp. It creates technology for space exploration. They mainly work closely with the government space agencies and private enterprises.” His brother explained.“I know Stellarcorp. Damson said excitedly. It is the biggest company in the city.”“Are you saying Stellarcorp is the company father wants me to manage?”“Yes, it is.” His brother replied, nodding his head.“You are the heir to the company. You now own Stellarcorp.""Although Stellarcorp isn't the only company father has. He has other small companies scattered across the city. You're also in control of them."Damson let out a huge sigh as he was trying to understand what his brother just told him. Everything was moving very fast.Stellarcorp is a very big company and it was his to run and own.“We can talk about this later.” His brother said, bringing him out of his thought.“How about you show me around your university, we eat, catch up and then I drive you back to your dorm?” He asked.“Yeah, we can do that.” Damson replied.“Can we go to the mall to get you a change of clothes? Your clothes look a little….not too good.” His brother said, eyeing his clothes.“Oh shit! I totally forgot the kitchen staff poured slimy water on me.” Damson exclaimed. He looked down at his clothes and was ashamed his brother saw him looking like that.He soon shrugged it off as they made their way out of the office.It was late at night when Damson got back to the dorm. He had so much fun with his brother that he forgot that time was running out.“Where have you been!?” His roommate Fred yelled at him as soon as he opened the door.“We've been trying to reach you.” Luke the other roommate said to him as he stood in front of Damson, blocking him from going further into the room.“The vice chancellor came to pick you up and we thought you were in trouble.”“Why did he call for you?”"Was it because you haven't paid your school fee?"“Did you offend him?”"What did you do when you got to his office?"“What are these bags? You went shopping?”“Guys!” Damson shouted. “One question at a time.”“Fine, fine.” Luke said, rolling his eyes.“Did you go shopping with the vice chancellor?” He asked, looking into the bags Damson brought into the room.“Oh, no.” The vice chancellor paid me for some errands I ran for him a few days ago, so I used the money to get some clothes for myself.Damson lied as he wasn't ready to tell his roommates he was about to take over and run the biggest company in the city.He is also yet to process everything that has happened, from finding out he has a brother to running a company.He also wanted to keep it a secret.He could have just called you to his office. Why did he have to come to the cafeteria to see you?” Fred asked, getting suspicious."The vice chancellor never comes to visit students, he sends for them"“Have you guys had dinner? You probably haven't. I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat. I'll pay!” Damson said, smiling as he tried to change the subject.“Sure! Let's go.” Fred and Luke said, grinning happily, forgetting about the shopping bags.Before they could leave the room, they heard a loud bang at the door.“Damson! Are you in there!?”“Step out of the room before we break down this door!”“Quit hiding and come out!”“Get your butt out of the room now!”Voices yelled out in anger.

“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

“What were you thinking? Bringing up a card that doesn't exist so you could save your face?” Betty sneered.“How bold of you to think you can afford the most expensive food on the menu. 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

It's been weeks since the death of Damson's father. He couldn't shake off the guilt and responsibility of his father's death. His mother became a shadow of herself. The loss of her husband came as a shock as she didn't see it coming. Damson stayed in the mansion after he was discharged. He didn't return back to school or stay in the dorm. His friends reached out to him but he didn't respond to their calls and messages. "Young master, can I come in?" Luis asked as he knocked on the door of Damson's father's study. He has been there since his father's death."Come in Luis." Damson responded, his eyes fixed on a framed picture of his father. Luis came in with someone following him closely. He had a huge frame, a rugged face and a scar above his left eyebrow. "Your father was a great man." Luis said, as he watched Damson's gaze fixated on his father's picture. It's a shame he had to die so soon but he made the right decision by picking you over him. "He left a great void in our heart

“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

Damson couldn’t leave the Wilsons just like that after finding out what Mr. Wilson had done for him. The man saved his life, and the least Damson could do was help the family with the funeral preparations. He paid for all the expenses and also gave them a large sum of money to sustain them for a long time. He even advised Logan to invest wisely.He had wanted to stay longer, but Logan asked him not to. His mother and sister would only feel more pain with him around. His presence would be a constant reminder of what happened to their father, and they didn’t need that. Damson understood and didn’t push further so he left.At first, he decided to head to his apartment, but then he changed his mind and went to the dorm instead. He hadn’t been there in a while, and he wanted to see his friends, Luke and Fred. They had reached out to him several times, asking where he was and why he hadn’t been around. At the time, he couldn’t tell them he was married, so he just told them he had gone job

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!? If this is one of your silly pranks, you better stop it now. I don’t have time for this! I’m not interested in whatever this is, s

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

"Leo was the reason why my father had a stroke and had to be using a wheelchair. These past few months before you came have been brutal. Leo came with his friends to raid our house. It was just very sad that I was out clubbing on that very day. I should have been around to teach that bastard a very big lesson he would never forget." Logan said angrily. "I've been looking everywhere for Leo but I just can't find him." Damson replied. "If not that I have more pressing issues at hand, I'd do everything I can to fish him out from his hiding place." "I don't think you can find him just like that. Also, I think Leo also has something to do with the strange men my dad has been seeing. I don't know if it's true but that's what I just think.""That's the only reason why my dad would still be in contact with him after everything he had done.
