2024-12-23 16:33:07Jake had just finished his daily part-time work. He smiled sheepishly each time he remembered he was going back home to meet his girlfriend. Bella had always waited for Jake to get home each time it was his paycheck.
“Here you go. This is your pay for the month of November. I must commend you, Jake. You did a very nice job, so I decided to tip you with $50 more.” Jake's boss said with a smile, “Thank you, ma.” Jake said with his smile as he bowed his face to the ground. He felt relieved. Bella would always claim more than eighty percent of his salary each time he was paid, but Jake wasn't bothered. It was the things you do for love. He immediately counted the money as his boss walked away. It was simple; he was going to get her the handbag he had seen at the boutique earlier on. Jake's cheap Samsung phone rang loudly. He quickly clutched his pocket as he ran towards the men's bathroom. Some of his colleagues knew who was calling. They whispered behind him and laughed each time he was not there. “Another calm from Miss World.” One of them said, and they all roared with laughter. “I can't believe he had never changed that phone since he got here. Where the hell is he pumping all that money into?” Another said Jake entered the toilet and immediately picked up his call. “Where the hell did you keep your phone?” Bella yelled at him over the phone. “But you do know I was at work. Phones are off-limits, and my boss mustn't even catch me. What is the matter? Jake asked “You do know you are getting paid today, right?” Bella told him immediately. “And?” Jake replied. “I will be waiting for you at home, and you better not be late.” Bella said coldly, and the line went dead. Jake hung his head, feeling a little down, but then he cheered up, remembering that he was going to get her the fancy handbag. That should make her let him off this hook this time. Jake wanted to pay his tuition f*e for the semester, and not paying in time means he is going to have an extra year while his mates go on to the next class. The day went fast, and soon they were done with work. As Jake got into the boutique, he immediately went for the bag he had seen earlier and paid for it. It was nearby, wrapped with the word, ”I love you.” Jake got her some flowers too. As he got home, he was met with a cold attitude once again from Bella, who didn't welcome him. “I got you this.” Jake said slowly with a sad face. Bella raised her eyebrows to look at the gift he had brought her. “Is this for me?” Bella asked, staring at the bag sheepishly. Jake nodded and went into the kitchen to fix lunch immediately. They had finished earlier than expected at work today. “So how much was your salary?” Bella asked “I was paid enough for my tuition f*e. I had to pay that tomorrow.” Jake said from the kitchen, and the tension grew harder between them. Jake wakes back in with the bowl of noodles he wanted to eat. He wondered what Bella had been doing on the phone ever since he got back in. “Are you busy?” Jake asked Bella didn't reply as her gaze was fixed on the screen. Jake kept mute and continued to eat his food. After some time, Bella threw her phone at him. “That is the list of what I am ordering.” She said with a smirk across her face like she was expecting Jake to say something. Jake grabbed her phone, and color drained from her face. “What?!” He shouted as he choked on his food. He stared back at Bell, who didn't see a big deal in what she ordered. “I am sure your monthly salary can foot all that.” Bella stared at him. “But I bought you a designer bag. Can you just manage this, and I will get you all of this next month? This money is for my…” Jake was about to complete his words when Bella snapped at him. “This again! All you ever do is complain ever since we started dating. It is either you need to buy some textbooks or some exercise books. You are never buoyant enough to take me on a proper date, and you can't even get yourself new stuff. Look at the phone you have been using; that is cheap, and you can't even buy yourself the latest iPhone. All you do is complain about how poor you are, Jake. I am beginning to get tired of this relationship already.” Jake was lost; the money he was having was definitely for his tuition fees, and not paying it means he would have to have an extra year. “Can't you be understanding? That bag I got you cost a lot, and it is even the listed trend.” “This? You call this garbage the latest trend?” Bella picked the bag up, and immediately the handle broke. “This is fake! I can't believe you are so dumb to even realize that. The words were hitting Jake in the gut. He wanted to talk, but the fear of losing Bella gnawed at him. He can't lose her right now, not after everything he had to endure for her. He knew this was going to cause a rift between them, but Jake was ready to work extra time and make sure he gets the money to buy her just what she asked for. “Can I get all of this later? Just give me time to work for the money.” Jake said apologetically. “Give you time? And what happens to the money you are holding? Can't you fix my cart and get your tuition f*e later?” Bella bellowed at him. “But Bella, the portal closes tomorrow.“ Jake looked at her face. “Wait! How is that any of my business?” Bella replied. The atmosphere was thick with tension as Jake stared at the cold-faced lady who was his girlfriend. He was about to talk when a message popped up right in his hand. Jake read the message, and his face went pale.

Did you do it with him?” Jake asked with a croaked voice. His heart thudded as his gaze was fixed on Bella's lips. She had never granted him what he wanted. Bella will either give him a peck on the cheek and pat him on the back whenever he made her smile, but here was a message of her being intimate with another guy. “Answer the goddamn question, Bella! Did you sleep with him?” “You are a damn fool! I can't believe you are playing the boyfriend role over the chewing gum money you have been spending all this while. Do you think your money actually means anything to me? And who gave you the right to snoop through my phone? Bella shouted at him and snatched her phone from Jake. She ran out of the house with Jake trying to catch up with Bella, but what he saw made his leg feel numb. His eyes locked with the latest Lamborghini right in front of his little house. The car was of the latest model, and only a few rich people could afford it. Who was this man, and how far had he and Bella g

The audience hummed with giggles and murmurs while Jake remained on the floor, his cheek still hurting from Bella’s fierce slap. His hands were balled into tight fists, his knuckles pale from the effort, yet his gaze stayed fixed on Bella. She remained there, arms folded, a self-satisfied grin on her lips, as if relishing his embarrassment.Maxwell’s loud and humiliating voice rose over the murmurs. “Stay down, loser. It’s where you belong.”Jake’s vision blurred with a mix of rage and shame. He wanted to stand, to retaliate, but Maxwell’s minions surrounded him, each one looking more fierce than the last. The crowd of students, instead of stepping in, began recording the scene on their phones, some laughing, others shaking their heads in pity.“Jake, just stop it already!” Bella’s voice pierced the commotion, sharp and contemptuous. "How often must I repeat myself to you?" I do not want you. Can't you tell I've moved on?" She moved nearer, her heels tapping on the pavement, and bent

Hold him down.” Maxwell commanded his minions, who immediately charged at Jake once again. He was immediately held in one position with his arms stretched out. Sarah couldn't believe her eyes and wondered how Maxwell could be so devilish. Maxwell landed a blow to his stomach, making him throw up some fluid. The student all laughed each time the blow landed. Jakel was left sprawling on the floor while Maxwell had his leg over his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe. “I told you already, you are nothing compared to me, and the next time you decide to go all out against me, You better... Maxwell was about to finish his statement when he heard a vibe behind him. “What the hell is going on here?” A male voice said in anger seeing the state and position Jake was in. Maxwell slowly removed his leg over Jake's throat as he battled to breathe. He lifted his gaze to see the disdainful looks on the faces of each student viewing the show. He could have died, but none of them seemed

Jake woke up the next day, he yawned lazily and the thought of going to school scared him. He knew his video of him being humiliated by Maxwell must have spread round the school. The school premises was the last place he would like to be at the moment. He winced each time he tried to work. Walking towards the front of the mirror, Jake lifted up his clothes. His eyes opened wide when he saw that one of his side ribs was broken. He needed to visit the hospital. He got dressed and jammed his door. His dorm was just a few walks from the school ground but Jake was smart enough to know he had to be in a hoodie. He had walked a few meters from school when a black SUV car parked right in front of him. Initially, Jake was not bothered, he kept walking with the headset he had pressed against his ears. His hands inside the hoodie he wore as he tried to ignore the black car that was following right beside him. The car was moving at a pace he asked too. Suddenly Jake snapped and bolted. “ Get hi

Jake's eyes darted around the whole building. He watched in awe and wondered if he actually belonged to this type of family. A young lady walked out of the building, her eyes looking at Jake with disdain. “Do you think he is the real deal? I mean, look at him. He looks more like a beggar to me.” Stella said with sarcasm. Jake said nothing, his mind a whirlwind of what the man who had picked him up earlier had told him. “Well, we are going to know right after we take a few drops.” Stella said again, eyeing him. “Few drops? Of what?” He said almost immediately. The man walked out again with a man in a white uniform. “Are you sure he is the real deal?” He looked at the man. “Just take the damn blood samples, Josh. I don't have the time for any of this.” He snapped at him. “Fine.” Josh said immediately, walking towards Jake with a syringe. “This is going to sting a little.” Josh said, looking at Jake as he rolled up his clothes. “Why do you even need my blood samples when you had me

So what are you going to do about it? See a loser like you talking as if you are the son of the president. We both know you are nothing but a charity case. I can actually help your course. All you need to do is fall down beside your adopted mother and beg me to forgive you.” Maxwell said with a smug grin on his face. Jake looked at the students' faces and back at Bella, who was also enjoying the show. It wasn't a show to him anyways. It was more of a humiliation, and Maxwell was winning. “And what if I don't? You are nothing but a bully, and I wonder why everyone is not seeing you for who you truly are.” Jake snapped, clenching his fist in anger. “And what are you going to do about it? I didn't ask to be born with a silver spoon. It just happened, and you,” Maxwell laughed and spat in front of Mrs. Penelope. “Like I said, I am going to let this go if you fall at my feet.” The school head stood and watched, trying to maintain balance; he knew someone like Jake, who had nothing to lo

Jake had his hand clamped together as he looked at Stella and looked back at Stella, who had a smirk on her face. The man in front of him was well seated as he kept his gaze on the table he had in his hands. He occasionally looks at the wall clock on the wall and back towards the entrance to see if Josh was coming out anytime soon. Josh came out with a worried look on his face. “What is it?” Klaus Ashwood looked at him. “I don't think the result is coming out anytime soon. We need to wait for at least two days.” Josh replied. “I said it; I knew there was something off about him the moment you told me he is the one. Are you sure about this?” Stella said with anger. Klaus gave her a look that meant for her to keep silent. “Okay, Josh. Thank you.” He said removing his spectacles Klaus turned slowly and looked at Jake. “I want to believe I am never wrong. I am going to give you this because I know you are going to be needing it.” Jake looked at him as he dipped his hands into a black
