"That being said, you're dismissed," Professor James said, ending his class. The students packed their books to leave the lecture hall, chattering as they went out, mostly in pairs.
"Justin? A word," Professor James called.
"Uh man! What now?" Justin grumbled under his breath. He sighed frustratedly leaving the company of his friends to go meet his Business Management Professor, who happened to also be his supervisor.
"You called for me," Justin said as he approached Professor James.
"Yes. You're just a month away from your graduation. Have you considered my proposition?" Professor James asked, looking intently at Justin.
"Yes, I have," he replied. "But, I never thought of taking such a path before."
His Professor chuckled softly, looking at Justin.
"You're a smart young man, and this faculty could use someone like you. Besides, this is you being offered a job even before graduation. That's a rare opportunity for most students here at San Jacinto College."
Justin exhaled, giving what his Professor said some thought. He had bigger dreams than to end up caged in his home town. He wanted more from life, in as much as he was an orphan, and raised by his late mother's stepsister.
"I truly am grateful for the offer sir. I'll give more consideration to it," Justin said, respectfully declining, but not outrightly. Moreover, he was in a hurry to get ready for something he had been planning all week.
"Alright then. Enjoy the rest of your day," Professor James bade him. He smiled in acknowledgement as he hasted to his friends who awaited him at the entrance of the lecture hall.
"What was that for? The job offer?" Duke asked Justin.
"Mm-hmm," Justin replied.
"Dude, he sure is persistent," Alex said. "But I don't blame him. You're the best student he's got."
"Dude, I'm definitely leaving this dump. I can't be tied down here," Justin said.
"I love your enthusiasm," Duke said.
"That aside. Right now, it's all about Samantha," Justin was ecstatic. "Got everything I asked you to?"
"Yup. Everything will be set up in forty minutes tops," Alex replied.
"Perfect. Duke, reached out to some of Samantha's friends yet?"
"I did. And they've all agreed to play along," he replied.
"Amazing. Tonight is going to be a night to remember. I know it," Justin said, smiling satisfactorily.
"Definitely," Duke concurred.

"How do I look guys?" Justin called the attention of his friends, Duke and Alex. He had freshened up after they had set up their shared apartment off campus, for the surprise birthday party for Samantha, his girlfriend.
"Dude, quit asking us how you look, when we all know how good you always look even if you're putting on rags," Alex responded.
"In essence, you're looking great," Duke said.
"Thank you," Justin appreciated. "I'll be heading out now. Please guys, no slip ups."
"Roger that sir," Alex responded. Justin grabbed Duke's car keys, and headed to Samantha's dorm, to pick her up.
It was a ten minutes drive to Samantha's dorm. Arriving there, he parked and put a call across to her.
"Hey babe. I'm parked outside," Justin said.
"Alright. I'll be there shortly," Samantha replied ending the call. Justin sighed, thinking about how the night would go.
He checked his time as he had noticed that Samantha had kept him waiting way longer he had anticipated. He furrowed his brow wondering what could be delaying her. So he called her again.
"Anything the matter babe?" he asked.
"No. Be right out soon," she replied, ending the call. Justin shrugged it off, assuming she was doing her girly stuff, putting on her make up and all.
Justin waited for nearly ten more minutes before he saw her casually walking out of the entrance of her dorm. Seeing her, he alighted from the car to courteously receive her.
"You look beautiful," Justin complimented Samantha.
"Thank you," she nonchalantly replied. Justin went on to open the car door for her, ushering her in. He quickly got in and began driving off.
"So, where are we going?" Samantha asked.
"I told you it was a surprise. And it wouldn't be one if I told you, now would it?" Justin smiled.
"Alright captain," Samantha smiled back at Justin. She saw him typing something in his phone, but didn't care to ask what it was. He was sending a message to his roommates, letting them know they were on their way.
Shortly after, they began their commute. They hadn't gone far when Justin exclaimed, "Crap!"
"What is it?" Samantha asked.
"I forgot to get my wallet. I'll need to pass through my apartment and get it."
"Oh. It's alright," Samantha said.
Justin then drove to his apartment complex and parked at the parking lot.
"Why don't you come in? It'll be real quick. I promise," Justin assured her.
"Okay..." Samantha hesitantly agreed. Justin quickly alighted from the car and opened the door for Samantha, as he held her by the hand affectionately, leading her to his apartment, taking the elevator.
As they got to his apartment, he unlocked the door and led Samantha into the room, but it was all dark.
"Why is it all dar-"
"Happy birthday!" Many voices chorused all at once, clapping and cheering. It startled Samantha. Her heart skipped causing her to lose balance, but Justin held her, stabilizing her. She turned towards Justin looking at him in surprise.
"Happy birthday babe," Justin smiled at her.
"You sly devil. You got me real good," Samantha said, giving him a kiss and a hug. She was impressed.
"Let's celebrate," Justin declared as everyone indulged themselves with the little delicacies and drinks that Justin had sacrificially made available for them.
Duke and Alex approached Justin, as they shook each other.
"Nice work guys. I knew I could count on you both," Justin appreciated them.
"Always buddy," Alex responded.
"So, phase two now huh?" Duke asked as they looked at Samantha, chattering with her girlfriends.
"Yup. Phase two," Justin affirmed. He sighed and approached Samantha from behind. He tapped her from behind and got on one knee. Samantha turned to see who it was. She gasped in surprise seeing Justin on his knees, holding up an engagement ring.
"Babe, you've been the best thing that has ever happened to me. You've brought so much joy to my life, and I want us to continue this till the day we're old and grey," Justin began his proposal.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and paid attention to what was happening.
"So, Samantha Grayson, will you marry me?" Justin proposed.
Samantha looked intently at Justin, with her chin up. She smirked at him. It made most folks there wonder what that was all about. Justin was more perplexed at her expression.
"Justin, you're sweet, nice, and all, but no. I cannot marry you."

CHAPTER 2: BROTHERHOOD."Um, I'm not sure I got you babe," Justin smiled nervously, seriously hoping she was just messing around."I said, I cannot marry you," Samantha said slowly, and clearly, counting her words. Justin looked at her, furrowing his brow, confused. "I don't- I don't understand, Sam," he said, still on knees."Aren't you getting me? I cannot marry you. You can't afford to take care of me. I've endured putting up with your broke life for this long. I can't anymore."Those words hit Justin as though a two thousand pound bison slammed him in the gut on full speed. His head swirled, as a daze overwhelmed him. "Sam, tell me you're kidding right now," Justin said, struggling real hard to fight back tears. Samantha sighed frustratedly, and said, "Do I look like I am joking right now? It's over between us." Justin stood up, dumbfounded at the turn of events. This was the last thing he ever imagined could happen. He looked round and saw Samantha's friends laughing at him.

CHAPTER 3: A FULL HOUSE."Oh, Justin. It took you long enough. Welcome," Samantha greeted.Justin was utterly perplexed seeing Samantha at his house, being all warm and friendly towards him. He didn't know what to make of it. "Samantha? What are you doing here? We're no longer together. You broke up with me. Remember?" Justin said, doing his best to maintain his cool."Oh Justin, I am fully aware of that," Samantha said, rolling her eyes. "Are you gonna come in or what?"Justin kept looking at her, confused and oblivious as to what was going on. But then, he got his bag and walked into the house. Coming in, he was greeted with a sight that brought back mostly hurtful memories of his growing up days as a child. Not being a biological child of the family that raised him, made them to treat him discriminatively. He always felt like an outsider amongst them, under the same roof.He knew his only hope for a bailout from that situation was his education. So, he burned the midnight candle,
The Texan Billionaire Heir ENEMIES AT THE TABLE.
CHAPTER 4: ENEMIES AT THE TABLE."Dinner is ready," Mrs Adams said, calling the attention of everyone, as she and Samantha were done setting the table."Alrighty! It was about time," Joey said, all excited. The father-son duo got up and headed to the dining table. They were seated at the living room chatting away just between the two of them.Justin was seated in the living room as well, but he seemed to be invisible to them, as always. He didn't mind though, that was normal. At least, he wasn't being beaten anymore. He was way too grown for that now.The twins, Geoffrey and Juliet both exited their rooms and headed to the dining table. Justin was the last to get up and head to the dining table. Immediately he stood up, he saw Joey smacking Samantha's butt and winking at her. She gave him a look of disapproval, but he smirked instead and took his seat. Justin furrowed his brow, wondering what the hell that was all about, but he said nothing.Justin took his seat beside the excited Ge

CHAPTER 5: NOT MY FAMILY."Smack the shit out of that ungrateful moron. She's made her choice. Be happy that she chose someone like Joey," Mrs Adams said. "Language Magdalene, language," Mr Adams cautioned his wife this time. "Oh, whatever," Mrs Adams snorted disrespectfully at her husband. Her attention was on her favorite child, Joey.Joey and Justin stood, glaring at each other. As face off was imminent. Justin peered hatefully at Samantha and Joey, but refrained from swinging a punch at either of them. "Because you're all grown now, you think you can take me on? Huh? I don't need all that muscle to beat the living day light out of you," Joey snarled.Indeed, Justin who was once little had grown up to have a moderately muscular build on his six foot body frame, which appealed to most folks who beheld him. He was a good looking young man, but he lacked the things that would make that handsomeness of his stand out from many.Justin suddenly chuckled, shaking his head disappointedl

CHAPTER 6: THE BIG APPLE."Dude, what those folks did is outrageous. Jeez," Duke said over the phone, speaking with Justin. He had arrived his shared apartment at SJC a day after the altercation he had with his foster family. "Tell me about it," Justin retorted, snorting detestably."It makes me wonder how you were ever raised by those maniacs.""Point of correction, I wasn't raised by them, I only lived with them," Justin pointed out."That's about right," Duke agreed. "So what are you gonna do now?"He sighed, and replied, "I don't know man. Well, am thinking I should just take up Professor James' offer. What do think?" "Hmm," Duke pondered for a bit. "You have big dreams man, and I know you have a shot at pulling it off and getting your footing in the big apple, unlike some of us who've been tied down to run the family business. So I think you should give your dreams and aspirations a shot.""You really think so?" he asked."Mm-hmm. Despite all that you sacrifed for that self ce
The Texan Billionaire Heir THE INTERVIEW.
CHAPTER 7: THE INTERVIEW.Justin hurried to his apartment and locked the door behind him. He leaned on it as he inhaled and exhaled, doing his best to calm his nerves down as his heart raced. He quickly went to his window which faced the street and hid by it's corner to have a look at the street. From the angle he stood, he didn't see the vehicle. So he went to the other side, and slightly parted the curtain. Peeking through, he found no trace of the car that followed him.He sighed in relief, and sat on his bed. Anxiety had made a bit sweaty, so he wiped it off his face. "What the hell was that? Am I being followed or what? But- But, I didn't offend anyone. Did I?" Justin questioned himself, trying to be certain he wasn't just being paranoid."Could it be the pick pocket?" he pondered. "Or, could it be the Adams?" Those were the two folks that he could come up with in his wildest imaginations that would want to hurt him. But he did nothing wrong to them, so that made him even the
The Texan Billionaire Heir OUT COLD.
CHAPTER 8: OUT COLD"What?!" Justin gasped at what he heard. His name was the last to be mentioned to not have passed the second phase of the interview. The man who had tried to sow a seed of discouragement in him blurted out a laughter, but crossed his hand over his mouth to prevent it from being audible."Am sorry, but it's time for you to take your leave," the interviewer who called out the names instructed, unapologetically. Disheartened and disappointed at the turn of events, Justin got his bag and walked slowly out of the interview hall. Gloominess was written all over his face. He had high hopes, and all of a sudden now, everything seemed bleak.Mr Frank Alvaro watched Justin as he walked out of the interview hall, walking behind all the other disqualified candidates, heading to the elevator. He shrugged, pursing his lips, and faced the remaining candidates who made it to the third and final phase of the interview.Justin disappointedly walked out of the building, wondering
The Texan Billionaire Heir QUESTIONS UPON QUESTIONS.
CHAPTER 9: QUESTIONS UPON QUESTIONS.Justin was suddenly awakened as a result of his head bumping hard into the car seat in front of him. Shards of glasses were scattered within the car as the car was ran into by another car as his abductors conveyed him.An unknown group of men had kidnapped him, having paid off the neighbor some reasonable amount of money to have him sedated.Gaining a bit of consciousness, but drowsy still, he could hear an exchange of heavy gunfire for some moment. He could see some figures falling to the ground, as they were shot. But he had no strength, neither was he cognitive enough to do anything to keep himself safe from harm's way.After a while, the gunshots stopped. He saw the figure of a person approach him, flashing a light right at his face. Examining him, the man found that he was okay, except the concussion in his forehead."Wh- What's happe- What's happening?" Justin questioned faintly, squinting his eyes as he blocked off the light from entering hi
