The word hit Mr Joe and he immediately felt the impact. Tried to talk but the words ain't connecting. “Sir…. sir it's,.....”
“Just answer me! Are you qualified to be a teacher with what you just displayed today?” Jordan Freeman asked again, his voice more frosty and mean. Mr Joe swallow hard trying to look for the right word to defend himself, one thing is for sure, he has to mind his speech in front of someone as powerful as Jordan Freeman. What baffles him is why is he taking the poor dirtbag side. “Sir it isn't what you think, you see, this boy bad reputation made me believe the allegation against him. He's the good for nothing mischievous scholarship boy in our college and …..” “Shut the hell up this instance!!” Jordan Voice struck before he could complete his sentence, completely red and vein popping out of his head. “It is very clear how unworthy of a teacher you are and I'll make sure your job ends here” Mr Jordan declared, authority evident in his voice. As a man with the principle of ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, he immediately reach out to his pocket and put a call through to Donald Jackson, his friend and owner of Springfield college with the order to sanction Joe as an unworthy teacher. Jordan influence isn't one to joke with , Mr Joe phone buzzed instantly, incoming call from Donald Jackson informing him he will face panel and eventually be sacked. He started to panic, couldn't believe what just unfold right in front of him. The less privilege boy he takes pleasure in bullying is now the cause of his downfall. Why Will someone with a big personality like Jordan Freeman takes Vincenzo side? Unable to take it, he crawl towards Jordan and started begging. “Sir please don't do this, I can't lose this job, this job is my life” he sobs, not minding the fact that his students were present. Jordan didn't flinch at his words. “Then you should have been careful with your words and don't talk down at people anyhow just because you feel you're in a better position” he concluded, kicking his hand away from us leg. Richard is already frightened carefully waiting for his judgement, all his attempts to make eye contact with Jason and his cohort for support proof futile. “And you! How are you paying up for the damages?” Jordan asked, turning to Richard, further adding to the tension building inside of him. His heart beating in quick succession, Richard try to speak about his actions not planned alone and his accomplice, but the urge immediately died on sighting Jason deadly glare. He was wise to interpret what that means. He further accepts the blame alone, he couldn't afford to jeopardize the rest of his college days. If there's anything Jason hate more than Vincenzo, it will definitely to be in position of having to apologize to Vincenzo. The issues was resolved and Vincenzo was apologised to by the staff of the college and also the Antique company for misunderstanding him at first when he was not guilty. Jordan Freeman made sure he was respected, leaving everyone baffled by what relationship is between them. Jordan Freeman however said Vincenzo had helped him in the past when Gus car broke down in the road without asking for anything and he didn't forget his mind gesture, which makes him believe he has a good heart. Vincenzo smile at the perfect cover up story by Jordan, his identity has to be hidden by all means, only then he could enjoy dealing with his enemies without them being aware of where the hit is coming from. Everybody was dismissed and the camping ended earlier than scheduled because of the incident. Vincenzo gained himself more renewed enemies, Jason and Lillian believed he was just lucky today and Jordan Freeman won't be everywhere to safe him from what's to befall him moving forward, especially back in college. He however gained himself a love interest too. It took him so long to realize Evelyn actually do care for him genuinely. And today just opened his eyes. The way she stood by him and defended him while everyone was against him touched his heart. For the first time,He now believes there is hope for humanity, unlike before where everyone judge him and treated him bad because of his underprivileged background. Though he didn't have any special attraction towards Evelyn, he still felt it's a relationship worth keeping and having her around won't be bad. Also wanting to know more about her because of what Mr Joe said about her struggling background. Now that he's wealthy he can helped those people that stand by him while punishing the wicked ones. The newfound duo held hands as they got down from the college luxurious bus. “See you on Thursday” Evelyn said, waving her hand to Vincenzo as they set to depart. The school had given a two day break to all students and full activities for the remainder of college year will resume then. Vincenzo was waving back at Evelyn and thanking her for standing by him earlier when a familiar voice interrupt their lovely moment. “Why don't you both get a room, oh this is your b**ch now? Well you both fit and that's how it should be, finding someone from same social class and hopeless like you” Lillian said, giving them a disgusting look. Vincenzo paused, unwilling to trade words with her but he won't be taking it when Evelyn is insulted because of him. “Well yes, she's mine and far better than you if that's what you want to hear spoilt brat” Vincenzo hit back, shocking Lillian as the words pierce straight into her heart, much to the delight of Evelyn. Evelyn giggled not knowing which feelings gladen her heart more, is it how the word pierced Lillian heart or Vincenzo claiming her. She however decide to enjoy the sweet moment. The smile on Evelyn's face pained her and she didn't hesitate to throw a jab at her “ who do you think you are to even laugh? You are no match for me and will forever be under my shadow girl” she said, eyeing her features. Evelyn laughed at her words and looked straight into her eyes. “Says by a spoilt brat with a failed attempt at early marriage who is nothing without her father's influence and teachers help” “How dare you b**ch!!” Lillian yelled on top of her voice , evident that the word got to her. This caught the attention of Jason who was at the other side of the Bus. He quickly rushed to the scene. Vincenzo was both pleased and surprised about Evenly counter word on Lillian. Truly the majority of the college students are aware of her failed marriage but none is confident enough to ever say it to her face. Evelyn didn't feel the need to hold back, Lilian is a spoiled brat that never cares about how someone feels and it feels good to serve a taste of her own medicine. Jason rushed to the scene and was quick to defend Lillian. “Who dares talk down at Queen of the campus, in my campus! Are you tired of schooling peacefully?” he threatened Vincenzo with majestically practiced steps, marches forward, focusing his gaze on Jason. “ That is a thing of the past, the campus doesn't belong to you and enough of your wrath!!”The alarm blared loudly, filling the small cramped room with a screaming sound that would send anyone kicking it out the window. It was a grandpa clock that had bells underneath to wake up even the dead.In the heart of Newsville city, where people from outside the city would never be told about in the stories of finding greener pastures, a large building with cramped apartment stood tall. It overshadowed other smaller hood houses that were nearly breaking apart save for the mold and durable materials that held them together. From the back of a window, one could perceive the reeking odor of piss and dumpster. However, for someone like Vincenzo who had spent over three years in the city, the putrid smell was nothing. Maybe the blaring horns of vehicles and the angry yelling from passersby could get to him. A hand emerged from under the sheets, desperately trying to find the alarm clock. The search was futile which threw him into frustration and he yanked the sheets off, throwing the a
"What happened?" Vincenzo asked as he approached the accident scene.The crash was on the edge of the road where a small car was rammed to another one. His heart did a double take as he walked past the quiet road and shops around the area, taking in his surrounding to spot his girlfriend. As long as she's okay, he will be fine. A pretty girl dressed in a flowery gown and her hair worn in a ponytail squeezed herself through a dark corner as she ran towards Vincenzo. He saw her and ran towards her as well but an older man pulled her arm and stopped her from moving till Vincenzo got to where they were both standing. "Lilian!" He cried as he hugged her and assessed her face. "Are you okay? How did this happen?"The older man scoffed, bringing Vincenzo's attention to him."Mr. Johnson," he greeted the older man. "I came as soon as I heard. I hope nobody got hurt.""About time you asked." He spat. "I called to tell you there's been an accident and all you could do was come around to play
It has been exactly a month. Or maybe more than a month as Vincenzo has already lost count. He had been through hell and at this point, all hope is lost. When weeks passed and nobody had even bothered to visit not to talk of bring him out, he figured then that maybe the guard had been right and he was going to spend two years in prison. He felt betrayed, duped and pained. Not even Lilian, the love of his life had come to visit. He never thought they'll be a day like this in his life.The line at the cafeteria was always the same routine everyday which Vincenzo had come to hate. It was impossible for him to miss the daily foods as they were given only once a day. But every day would often come with beatings, bullying and wounds. This particular day was going to be the same, he was sure. So, he had managed to sneak a small picker into his pocket while on the line."Hey, dimwit!" Scarr, the big man who used to be his cell mate yelled. Vincenzo knew he was referring to him so he tried a
"Vincenzo, you have a visitor!" A stern voice called from the entrance of the dark solitary cell where Vincenzo was put since the fight he had with Scar. His brows shot up and his eyes lit as he heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, Williams remembered him and decided to get him out. Although, he was furious and he resolved to take it out on the man, he thought of the possible chances that him going to jail and Lilian announcing her wedding with Jason was all a test. It was all for Vincenzo to prove he was man enough to get married to Lilian. "You have just an hour, Sir. I'll be back to take him in." The guard said before turning to leave him with a strange man. The man was tall and slender, wearing a shiny black jacket over an outfit he was pretty sure would cost a fortune. His blonde hair with white streaks indicated he must be close to fifty years of age and if he hadn't smiled at him, he would have suspected he was in a bigger trouble. Surely, Williams must have sent him."Hello,"
"You could not even finish studying even though you were on scholarship. I wouldn't pray to be such an unfortunate poor scumbag like you so, please, forget we ever had anything.""I have no use for someone like you who I'm sure will die poor. You were simply a tool and i enjoyed using you for my father ambition."These words kept replaying in his head as he picked up the fountain pen on the side of the papers. The people who had gathered round him before were now gathered around him again as he sat at a garden dinner table. All the employees of the mansion in which he was, maids, cooks, housekeeper, butler, chauffeur, personal nurses and so on, had an expectant look on their faces."She called me an unfortunate poor scumbag," he repeated to himself as he stared directly ahead. "Let's see what happens when you realize how wrong you are, Lilian."Vincenzo struck his signature over each paper, carefully reading through and grunting in satisfaction. All of these belongs to him now. And as
"Hey, dimwit!" Vincenzo sat up almost immediately, then looked around the room, puzzled for a second and relieved the next. It'd been a dream, thank goodness. Because he was pretty sure he wasn't going to survive the head bash that Dream Scarr was about to give him before he jolted awake. Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair and looked around the room. Due to his time in the prison, he kept looking over his shoulder every four minutes, and getting into a defensive mode whenever he felt people approach him. At that moment, he was surveying the room in case someone had snuck in while he slept. He wouldn't put it past Scarr to not keep a grudge. After a short while, he got out of bed and into the bathroom, pouring water on his face while revisiting the dream he'd just had. Sometimes he wondered if he was truly healing.Hours later he sat at the dining table pouring over the news, when he caught glimpse of a report on television displaying what triggers his rough past. The orphan
As soon as he returned from school, all the information he'd requested for in the morning was in his hands.There were a lot of orphanages with the name Safe Haven (which was very much expected), but with the description he'd given, the results had been narrowed down to the barest minimum; down to the orphanage he remembered. With a smile he skimmed through the pictures, the smile widening every second as his joy could not be contained. It soon vanished, however, when he stumbled upon a channel later that day as he switched television programs. On the screen was a headline depicting an orphanage's need for financial support, and he was horrified to find that it was no other institution but Safe Haven."The Proprietor, Sophia Poe, is here with us, and she'd be speaking more on the situation at hand." Vincenzo sucked in a breath when he saw the former headmistress' face appear on the screen. Despite her trying to appear calm, a glance into her eyes revealed a storm brewing. But her v
Anthony's ego seemed to have spiked up as he watched the younger man before him walk away. He's known for his brutality and no church rat was going to dare bring him down. As long as remained Sophia's benefactor, they will continue to do everything he asked."Stupid people. Imagine that boy trying to tell me what to do!" He continued to rant as he walked towards Kevin, shaking his head in disbelief. "Keep working!" He barked at the seemingly tired and worn out young men digging in the sun. He could care less.Kevin scoffed, although worry clouded his face. Soon, his phone rang and he gestured towards Anthony to give him a moment. "Hello?" He started. "Yes, I'm the representative for Anthony Stewart construction company. How may I help you?" There was a pause and Anthony's curiosity was now piqued."What do you mean the contract has been canceled and our property is being revoked?" Anthony's eyes widened as he broke out in sweat, perspiring really hard and pacing back and forth. "W
