I can't believe this.
"Kyle Lincoln, you have got to see this."
David's voice was laced with urgency as he dragged Kyle out of his chair and straight to the school Cafeteria.
"Dude, what the hell!"
"Quit pulling me around as if I'm some horse!"
Kyle immediately shunned his friend.
"Kyle, if you know how serious this issue is you would leave me and run down to the cafeteria yourself."
David's voice was barely above whispers as he bent down to catch his breath as he had ran all the way down to Kyle's lecture room.
Leaving his friend, Kyle immediately raced down to the school Cafeteria.
On reaching there, students were gathered and taking pictures of two people.
"What is going on here?" Kyle asked one of the students who started laughing at him and took a picture of him, the flash light of her iPhone almost blinding him.
Pushing his way through the crowd, he finally found his way to the front of the crowd.
What Kyle saw almost made him faint.
"Chloe!"
"What are you doing?"
Kyle immediately screamed as he walked towards Chloe who was busy kissing Jefferson Edward, Kyle Lincoln's friend in front of the whole crowd.
Kyle's voice had suddenly killed the vibe of what the whole students were enjoying.
"What does it seem like I'm doing?"
"I'm flirting with your friend obviously."
Chloe said without remorse as she goes in to continue the kiss but Jefferson Edward immediately moved his face away.
Kyle stared at the both of them, his face was etched with a mixture of bewilderment and anxiety.
"How could…you?"
Kyle asked, his voice was a bit quaky as he continued staring at them.
His gaze showed that he was more disappointed in Chloe.
"How could I not?"
"I I mean take a good look at yourself"
"You come to lectures with an old bicycle from the 1900's, Jefferson on the other hand comes to lectures with a Bugatti Mistral."
"Can you ever beat that?"
Chloe's voice was laced with disdain as she pushed Kyle back who fell but was fortunate enough to fall into the hands of David, his friend.
"You see, look at your faded shirt, Jefferson Edward on the other hand puts the L in Louis Vuitton."
"Look at your unbelievable shoes, Did your dad give you those?"
"Sorry I totally forgot, your parents are dead and you are nothing but an adopted poor brat squatting with the Webs family."
Chloe Walter's voice was laced with disdain and humiliation as he stared directly into the eyes of Kyle Lincoln.
Disgust and disdain reeking all over her.
Kyle couldn't believe his eyes and ears as he stared back and forth at Chloe Walter and Jefferson Edward.
"Chloe I can't believe this is coming from you…after all we have been through together."
"You better believe it Kyle…I'm tired of putting up with your stinking poverty."
"I mean do you even know how much my skincare products cost?"
"Oh you think all this glow just happens all by itself?"
Chloe asked as she turned around showcasing her feminine assets causing most of the boys to wish she was their girlfriend.
"Chloe I really understand, but you shouldn't be comparing your boyfriend to Jefferson Edward."
"I mean look at Jefferson Edward, the Edwards are the biggest realest tycoon in the continent."
"How do you expect Kyle to beat that? like you said he is just starting out…you should have given him a chance."
David's voice was laced with reason and wisdom as he spoke in the defense of Kyle.
"And you Jefferson Edward, Kyle used to be your best friend,at least used to be, why would you go on and flirt with his girlfriend in public?"
"Relax smart pants, this isn't the first time we have done this and Kyle is poor and I'm rich."
Jefferson Edward said, smiling gleefully as the whole crowd cheered him up.
David just shook his head as Kyle watched Jefferson Edward drag his girlfriend closer to himself.
"Chloe, are you really breaking up…with me?"
Kyle asked as he managed to stop his tears from hitting the wooden floor board under him.
"Are you this dumb or has your poverty really gotten into your brain?"
"Kyle Lincoln, I just broke up with you! What else would you call me kissing your rich friend in your presence?"
Chloe's voice was accompanied by a heavy laughter and mockery from the crowd as David dragged Kyle away from the scene.
"Hey Kyle! you forgot the stupid locket you gave me."
"I couldn't even swap it for toilet paper at the local market."
Chloe Walter said as she, Jefferson Edward and the whole crowd laughed out loud.
Immediately she threw the locket to her feet and as Kyle walked over to pick it up, Chloe immediately crushed it with the luxury pink Prada boots that Jefferson Edward just bought for her.
"Oops…sorry, that's the symbol of our love and I have crushed it forever."
Chloe said in the most disdainful manner ever as she stared down on Kyle.
Kyle stared at her in bewilderment and walked away from both of them, joining David, he walked back to his lecture room wiping his tears slowly with the edge of his blue sweatshirt.
"Don't worry Kyle…everything will get better soon."
David said, trying hard to console his friend.
Throughout the remaining lecture, Kyle wasn't himself as he was also getting messages from Sophia the daughter of his adopted parents asking him of her clothes that he had washed.
"Kyle, stand up!"
"What are you staring at?"
Mr Harris, the lecturer asked, his voice was barely above whispers.
"Probably the pictures of his former girlfriend who dumped him today."
One of the boys from the back of the lecture hall screamed causing everyone to burst into a mocking laughter.
"It's nothing Mr Harris."
Kyle said as he hid his phone.
"If you insist, make sure you see me after this class before heading home."
Mr Harris said as he continued his teaching.
After the lesson, Kyle walked into Mr Harris' office and in less than a minute he was out.
Walking towards the school garage, his head was all heavy from the whole break up thing, he mistakenly bumped into a guy who immediately shoved him backwards.
"Watch it loser."
"Sorry…"
Kyle said as he walked faster towards the garage.
Turning around he noticed that someone was following him.
He immediately ran off and got to his bicycle, as he tried to unlock his rickety bike, the cold hand of a man dressed
in an Armani suit held his hand.
"Lord Lincoln!"
"Come with me at once, it's not safe here."
The voice was ortund and laced with trepidation and urgency.
"Get into the car!"The man in the Armani suite said as he opened the door of a military grade armored Escalade."But my bike!"Kyle immediately screamed pointing to the direction of the garage."Forget your bike.""Lord Lincoln, your life is more important to me…get in now!"Immediately Kyle got in, the man immediately drove off.Moments later, Kyle is staring at the man driving the Escalade."Sorry, who are you again?" Kyle immediately asked as they were far off from the Silicon Mountain university view.The man remained silent, he was putting on dark shades that made it really hard to see his face in a way."I asked a question and I demand answers immediately."Kyle immediately yelled as he was now getting uncomfortable with the whole situation.Staring behind him he immediately noticed that they were already on their way outside of Silicon Mountain.He immediately swallowed a heavy lump as he stared at the man who was still focused on the road."Help me!!!"Kyle yelled as they spe
"I would love you to keep your cool and lay low at the Webs until we figure out what actually happened to your dad's helicopter and more importantly why it happened."Carlos Alfred said, his voice was laced with reason.Kyle stared at him as he pondered on what he just told him."You are definitely right, if my father's helicopter crash was a coverup news that means that I might be a possible next target."Kyle added, his face now etched with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety."Lord Lincoln, I'm pretty sure no one is aware of your existence.""Your dad did a great job hiding your birth from the world and I believe it was for a purpose.""Right now, like I said, lay low at your foster home and together we will figure out what happened to your father's helicopter that night."Carlos Alfred's voice was laced with a hint of assurance and security.Kyle only stared back and forth at Carlos Alfred and his mom's ATM card that had access to trillions of dollars.***************************
The next day Kyle was awoken by the loud sound of his ring tone.Jumping up immediately, he stretched his body and picked up his phone.His gaze fell on the screen of his phone, the number was secured."Who they heck could this be?" Kyle asked as he immediately picked up the call."Hello…Carlos Alfred is that you?... How did you even get my number?"Kyle asked as he plopped into his bed."Lord Lincoln, meet me at your university Cafeteria in 30 minutes and come alone."The voice of Carlos Alfred was a bit vehement and laced with urgency."Okay I will be there…how did you get my number, I don't recall giving it to you."Kyle asked, as he awaited a response."Is that really a question?""You are talking to the personal guard of the most influential man on the continent, I have got my own ways of doing things and so many things you are yet to know about me."Carlos Alfred immediately said, his voice was barely above whispers."Lord Lincoln, remember don't come to the cafeteria with your
Kyle immediately ran over to where Carlos Alfred was squatting and going through the files.Gazing at his hand, Carlos Alfred immediately dropped a box he found in the safe on the table."What's in the safe?"Kyle asked as his face was laced with eagerness to find out what's inside this box."We are about to find out soon enough."Carlos Alfred said as he opened the box.Dipping his hand inside the box he pulled out another Premium card."This must belong to your dad, add it to your mom's ATM card, who knows it might come in handy soon enough."Carlos Alfred said as he handed the gold plated card to Kyle who took it immediately."That card was issued to your dad by the bank of the world, the Switzer bank…you can't even imagine the amount of money that is already logged onto that single card."Carlos Alfred continued as Kyle still admired the gold plated fortune."Here are some of your dad's dairy, notes and joter.""Keep them on that table over there we will go through them to see if
"Alright Lord Lincoln it is done.""In the next few minutes I will be sending out the information to the other directors for immediate execution."Mr Chang immediately said, his voice was barely above whispers but laced with assurance."I will be expecting an update."Kyle said as he immediately hung up the call.45 seconds later, Kyle and Carlos Alfred got the notifications on their phones."That was fast." Carlos Alfred said as he stared at his phone."This should teach the Hunters and the Martin's who's the boss around here."Kyle said as he and Carlos Alfred laughed out loud."Those girls are animals, I really still can't believe they made that horrible video of you."Kyle stared at Carlos Alfred and smiled, "I have had worse experiences especially from Mr Stephen and Martha Webs."His voice was barely above whispers.Picking up his phone he stared at it in shock."Wait a minute!""The moment we pulled off the Platinum Guard Investors support from the Hunters and Martin's family b
The situation was intense as Carlos Alfred searched through but safe house for Kyle.Pushing open a door frantically, his gaze fell on Kyle who was backing him."Lord Lincoln, what are you doing here?"Carlos Alfred asked, his voice barely above whispers as he approached Kyle."Carlos Alfred, you have got to check out this book that I just saw."Kyle immediately said as he turned to face Carlos Alfred.Carlos Alfred immediately took a heavy breath of relief."Lord Lincoln, you really got me frightened back there.""How did you access this part of the safe room?"Carlos Alfred asked, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared at the weird book in his hand."My palm…it seems to be the key to practically everything in this room."Kyle said as he stared too at the book in his hand."Carlos Alfred what do you make of this book that has a biometric lock?"Kyle asked as he examined the book."Careful with that Lord Lincoln!"Carlos Alfred immediately screamed.Kyle immediately smiled g
"Mr Carlos Alfred.""It appears your secret code ain't any secret code."Jake immediately broke the shocking revelation to Kyle and Carlos Alfred who stared at the phone in bewilderment."What do you mean by that?""We found that code in a secured vault…there is no way it's not a secret code."Carlos Alfred immediately said, his voice was ortund.Jake kept silent for a while and then gave out a silent giggle."Jake!" Kyle immediately screamed."Okay you got me… it's a secret code and it belongs to Mr Douglas Lincoln."Jake said laughing out loud."It appears to be the code of 1 of his 32184 depository boxes at Vortex Vaults, the world's most secure vault system."Jake added now losing his playfully demeanor and putting on a serious look."Nice work Jake…nice work."Kyle immediately said, his voice was laced with respect for the young boy's expertise."I heard you run my dad's cyber security company?""Yes Lord Lincoln… I do."Jake replied, smiling gleefully from his seat in the Lincol
The situation was intense and palpable as Kyle paced around and began."It all began the day I was adopted into the Webs family…My foster mom, Martha Webs saw the key stuff on my neck and she took it.""She was like…I will keep it for you whenever you need it, you can come get it.""I trusted her and let her keep it…I didn't even know what it was, all I can remember is that I have always had it from the orphanage."Kyle Immediately cleared his throat and continued, "Since then I have tried asking her and she keeps saying it's lost.""It wasn't until last week I saw the star key on Sophia's neck.""I had earlier overheard Mrs Martha telling Sophia to keep the stuff which she gave her safe.""Immediately I saw the star key on the neck of Sophia, I immediately realized that it might be what her mom was talking about.""I didn't think it was that important so I hadn't confronted Sophia over the star key."As Kyle narrated, Carlos Alfred just stared at him, nodding his head slowly."This i
