"Cassandra, what's happening here? Don't tell me my eyes are not deceiving me. Oh, they are; they're deceiving me because this can't happen to me. No, you can't do this!" Rex yelled at Cassandra, who was still lying on the bed with no remorse.

Rex and Cassandra had been secretly dating. Many times, Rex approached Cassandra and brought up the topic that he wanted an open relationship, but Cassandra would threaten that they'd split if he ever brought up the topic, so he decided to remain silent over the matter like a slave.

On a fateful afternoon, a day before the upcoming celebration of Valentine's Day, which everyone among the students had been longing for, Rex and his friend Andrea were discussing something at his dormitory. Andrea was busy scrolling down on his phone and browsing the internet.

"Bro, guess what!" Andrea exclaimed out of excitement after coming across a post and seeing the picture of Kanye West and Cassandra.

"Yes, you know I'm not good at guessing, so go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush," Rex reluctantly replied.

"Kanye West has proposed to Cassandra!"

"Which Cassandra are you talking about? You mean Cassandra Knight?" Rex asked in disbelief.

"Exactly, bro, the girl is just lucky to have such a person propose to her; I'm happy for her," Andrea replied with a smile on his face.

"C'mon, man, you always make expensive jokes! Go take a pill if you're daydreaming," Rex replied in disbelief.

"I bet you it's not a joke or daydream either; you can check the post by yourself," Andrea said, trying to hand Rex the phone, but he barked at him, "Go away with your fake news, please."

Andrea stared at him in disbelief. How could Rex find it difficult to believe what he told him? He stood up to leave, but Rex grabbed him back.

"Where did you say you got this false news from?" he asked Andrea with a confused look.

Andrea thought for a while, wondering why Rex would doubt him and refuse to see the evidence he was showing him.

"Man, if you can't believe it, then forget about it. Let's talk about something reasonable; besides, I don't know why you acted like you're not happy with the girl, or do you keep a grudge against her, or have you in any way had any problem or misunderstanding with her? Tell me so I can reconcile both of you," Andrea suggested.

"How many times do you want me to say go away before you hear me out? Or didn't you hear me clearly when I said that you should buzz off? Get the hell out of my sight. I do not want to see you," he yelled at him.

"I do not wish to say anything to you or speak with you. Please leave. And I'm not holding any grudges against anyone. I hope you respect my request and stay away from me," he explained in a harsh tone.

"Alright, man, we are not quarreling. Let me leave your presence. Just a few minutes ago, we discussed the last event that was hosted by the campus, how the big boys stormed the event, and how the audience got carried away and lost concentration on the ongoing program and focused on the big champs and their exotic cars.

"Just a few minutes ago, you had already developed mood swings; I wonder what would happen if you were a lady," Andrea said and left the room, leaving Rex isolated.

As soon as Andrea left the room, Rex rushed to his phone, which had been broken to the point of being unrepairable. He unlocked it and wanted to check what Andrea said to confirm it himself.

He searched for Macro on his app list but could not find it, and just then he realized he had deleted it months ago as it consumed more data than other social media he was using.

He could not afford to exhaust 2GB only on watching reels and short videos on Macro, while 500MB would go a long way for him on other social media platforms. He hissed as he realized he could not see the post by himself if he did not install the Macro app.

He opened his app store to install it, and after typing the name 'Macro,' it appeared. He pressed the install option; however, it stopped after rolling for a few seconds; it had only loaded two percent of the app data.

"Gosh! What's wrong with this phone of mine? It seems the network issue has started again," he hissed and exited the app. He reopened it and had the same experience.

Confused, he decided to check his data balance, and he realized it had been exhausted. He became angry and instantly dialed his usual code for borrowing, but the response he got annoyed him: "Dear customer, you have exceeded your standard limit of borrowing; kindly clear up your existing balance of $200 to continue. Thank you."

"Oh, sh*t! Why now? Why now that I wanted to confirm if what Andrea was saying was true," he said and angrily flung his phone back onto his bed.

He dressed to go out as his curiosity to find out upsurges; maybe this could decrease it. He was dressing to go to the campus handball field.

"No, this can't be true. I trust Cassandra, and I know she won't do that. Maybe Andrea mistook her for someone else because Kanye is good at changing and dumping girls; he may have thought Cassandra could fall for that sh*t," he hissed.

"After how many years we have been together, starting from our childhood, Andrea now thinks Kanye's wealth could move my girl," he monologued as he was heading to the handball field.

After walking halfway to the handball court, he realized going to the field would worsen his depressed mood, as the majority of the handball players were among those who despised him and would not allow him to participate in playing or allow him to watch without throwing abusive remarks at him.

He remembered the last time he went there, one of them even tried to bully him, but he escaped, not minding that he could kick the guy's ass out. He fled because he knew others would not stare at him while he beat their colleague.

To avoid being made to feel uncomfortable by those boys, he returned home.

"No, alright, I'll find out by myself; I will find out when I visit Cassandra this Valentine's Day. Yes, I'll find out, and I'll make Andrea suffer for this he put me into if it eventually becomes a lie. A few more days to Valentine's Day; we shall see." A smirk formed across his lips.

"Who do you say you really are, and what is your mission here?" Kanye asked, still burning in rage. But Rex didn't utter a word as he was trying to digest the shock Cassandra caused him."Cassandra, you want to break up with me?" he said.

    "Can I get two cups of coffee?" Andrea asked. "Sure, sir, sure, we'll get to you in a short time," she replied. Andrea noticed she wasn't paying attention to him while answering. Instead, she was seriously staring at Rex in admiration, who was busy admiring the gorgeous interior of the hotel. The receptionist looks like she has been captivated by the Prince Charming. "Sir, what do we offer you, too?" she asked, knowing he came with Andrea. She desperately wanted to exchange even a greeting with him. Rex turned, the question brought back his lost memory that was lost in the admiration of the hotel's interior designs. With his hand shoved in his pocket out of shyness, like a middle school boy trying to get his first love. "No, I came with him," he replied, pointing toward Andrea.

The police officers didn't waste any time, and they followed the order commanded by the celebrity student. They cuffed Rex and dragged him to their van. One of the hotel attendants blocked the corps from moving, demanding to know the reason for arresting one of their clients."Excuse me, Mr., but this is a violation, and we don't allow that here to talk more about doing that to our customers; therefore, you have ten seconds to dilute the violations you are causing or else face the company's action.""Get out of the way, or you face my wrath now," Kanye poke-nosed."We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by us; we are the police officers, trying to bring justice to th

    "Jackson! What are you still waiting for to get him comfortable in the car?" The old man's voice reverberated. Immediately Jackson rushed down and opened the car door for Rex like a royal person.Jackson's outfit stunned Rex; he couldn't accept the fact that he was just a guard for the old man. His dress was not different from that of the president's son.Rex wondered how costly the old man's clothes would be for him to have his servant wear such expensive outfits, then he would wear the most expensive.Jackson opened the car door for Rex, and he stepped in the car; he couldn't believe he was the one who just entered the most expensive car in the whole of Bloomsbury district. He had never imagined he would enter such a car. Just a few hours ago, he was in jail, and now he is in Pagani H.P. Barchetta.Rex stared at each of the guards inside the car, observing their outfits one by one to know how much they would cost, but he could not believe the first guard who approached him and opene

    Rex adjusted his pants to his waist, making sure they did not slip down when he got inside. His pants have been too big for him because of the hunger he experienced at the police station. Kanye West made sure he starved that day by telling the police not to offer Rex anything. Rex stayed in detention for twenty-four hours, which was against the rule of the country, but who is Rex to defend his rights, being a wretched nobody? He managed to hold his pants firmly on his waist and returned to Jackson."Are we good to go?" Jackson asks Rex."We can go now " Rex answered politely. They entered the building, and Rex nearly ran out immediately. The adorning chandelier hanging on the ceiling and other decorative lights lit up the parlor; he never imagined the interior would be that fascinating. "What did you say was your name, man?" he questioned Jackson. "Jackson sir," "Did you know what you were just doing? Did you know how much your boss paid to rent this house for the business he has

The bathtub, which was designed in silver, and the wall mirror, which was carved in a rectangular shape to show the full human contour and be more visible,He went back to the room after the amazing shower; he could not recall ever showering in such a beautiful bath in his life. He opened the window and gazed out to fully observe how beautiful the building was, as he could not observe it last night."Yes! Thank God today I'm off from the semester so I could admire and observe everything about and inside this building," he uttered and let out a grin.'Knock!–Knock!–Knock!' "Yes, come in," Rex replied, knowing the person knocking would be none other than Jackson.The door opened, and a huge, masculine man who was completely different from

    At Range Global JD Hotel Street, the road was a busy one as different cars were trooping in and out of the hotel. Just then, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up in the street. Though the hotel street has been busy with tons of flashy and expensive cars, however, there was no passerby the car came across that wouldn't halt and take a second glance at it. After about two minutes, the car arrived at the magnificent hotel and halted at the entrance gate, waiting for the gate to open so it could enter. Without much waiting at the entrance gate, after about thirty seconds of waiting, the gate automatically opened, and the car drove in. The gate took so much time because its monitor was checking the car to know if it was really worth entering the hotel as the car owner was not a regular customer of the hotel. Hence, the gate didn't recognize the car immediately when it arrived to open. The car was directed to a parking slot by the hotel attendant. Meanwhile, at an empty table, a lady was sea

    "Alright, I'll text her right away with your number," Andrea responded."No problem," Rex responded, and the call ended."Wonders shall never end," Rex muttered as he was surprised by what he heard. He could not believe Cassandra was still in the country."This means she broke up with Kanye, probably after she couldn't resist his inability to stop cheating anymore." Rex was curious."Well, I shall hear the full story," he concluded, and he stood up to perform his morning activities before eating.As Rex squatted down and began his martial skills, he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone; however, he ignored the call because he didn't want a disturbance.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the school, and Tyga parked the car in the parking lot and waited for Rex while he went inside to consult the school HOD. *** It was already mid-evening when Rex came out of the HOD office. However, Tyga had been worried; he was about to call Rex to find out if he was really safe in there. From Rex's countenance, Tyga could figure out that his issue had been sorted out.
