The entire class had noticed, and now they were questioning what was really going on between the two of them.Richard could feel the tension rising in the room as whispers spread like wildfire. He had always been close to Miss Mirabel, but the attention it was drawing now made him uncomfortable. He had always respected her for being a good lecturer and a mentor, but this new level of curiosity from his classmates was unexpected."Is everything okay, Richard?" Charles asked, his tone a mix of concern and curiosity. "I mean, it’s not every day a lecturer calls you out like that, especially with an invitation to her place. You sure there’s nothing more to it?"Richard, feeling the weight of their gaze, ran a hand through his hair and sighed. He knew that his usual aloof demeanor wasn’t enough to brush off their suspicions. He could feel their eye

“There’s nothing going on between me and Miss Mirabel,” Richard said, his voice steady, though his mind raced as he met their curious gazes. “I just think she’s always had a way of looking out for me. Now that she needs my help, it only feels right to return the favor.”Charles and Oliver exchanged a glance, skepticism still evident in their eyes. Richard's tone was so calm, his words so confident, that they couldn’t quite read him. He seemed sincere, but they both knew how well Richard could hide his true feelings. Still, the certainty in his eyes made them pause. Perhaps, for once, he wasn’t keeping something from them.The conversation lingered in the air as they shifted back into the rhythm of the day’s classes. Richard, however, felt a sense of quiet unease settle over him. He couldn’t help but wonder about Miss Mirabel’s intentions. What could she possibly want from him?

Richard could feel the tension building in the air, the weight of Lily's disdain pressing down on him. He could sense the coldness in her tone, the way her eyes flicked over him as though he were beneath her. But Richard, despite the harshness of her words and demeanor, remained calm. He wasn't about to waste his time trying to engage with someone who looked down on him so readily. There was no point in it.What irked him the most was that he had just been kind to his friends, trying to give them a good time. Yet here was Lily, who clearly saw herself as superior, as if the title of "waiter" automatically made him beneath her. Richard had no time for that, nor would he tolerate it. He wasn't going to let her affect his mood.Oliver, on the other hand, was fuming. He was already starting to regret his relationship with Dora, especially since she kept associating with people like Lily. The thought of Lily dismissing Richard, especially when Richard was the one footing the bill for the ev

The New Century Eatery, a place so exclusive that only the wealthy and elite frequented, now seemed like the meeting ground for people from all walks of life. They hadn’t expected to see Richard here. After all, Richard was just the school’s humble waiter, someone they had seen serving others, never someone they imagined would be able to afford such a lavish meal at a place like this.The sight of Richard sitting comfortably at a table loaded with delicacies was enough to throw Dominic into confusion. He couldn’t understand why someone like Richard, who barely seemed to have enough to get by, would be dining in a place like this. Was it a fluke? Or was there something more to Richard that Dominic had overlooked? Regardless, he couldn’t help but be curious—and a little envious—of how easily Richard seemed to fit in with the wealthier crowd.Determined to match Richard’s extravagance, Do

Richard stepped into the living room, glancing around at the decor, his nerves still on edge. He hadn't intended for things to escalate like this. The simple task of visiting Ms. Mirabel had turned into something more complicated. He could still feel his heart racing from the moments he spent hiding under her wardrobe, and now, standing in front of her, trying to explain himself, he felt exposed.Ms. Mirabel appeared from the kitchen, a look of surprise crossing her face when she noticed Richard standing there, drenched in sweat, looking guilty. The room felt tense for a moment, the silence thick as she crossed her arms."Hey, Richard. What are you doing here?" Ms. Mirabel asked, her tone a bit playful but with an edge of curiosity. "Oh, right, I told you to come over, but how did you get in? The door was locked when I left."Richard's throat tightened. He hadn’t thought about how to answer that. "I... I came in through the door," he said, his voice shaky. He wasn't used to lying, espe

Richard had been struggling with the weight of his friends' judgments, yet he tried to maintain his composure, believing better days were ahead. Despite the constant ridicule and whispers, he was determined to keep moving forward.When he left Ms. Mirabel's house, he was filled with a mixture of conflicting emotions. The events that had unfolded in her home had left him feeling a certain discomfort. He couldn’t quite shake the images of her changing clothes, nor the strange sense of vulnerability he’d felt being in her private space. Richard was determined to put all of that behind him, yet the memory lingered. He had tried so hard to stay composed in front of her, but now that he was alone, his thoughts were clouded."Thanks for helping today," Ms. Mirabel had said, her voice calm, even though Richard could sense there was more on her mind. She had always been considerate, always the one lecturer who seemed to care beyond the classroom. That was something he truly appreciated.As Rich

He noticed a group of people gathered near a building, their voices rising in frustration and anger. At first, Richard thought it was just another protest, maybe something political, but then something made him stop. The figure standing at the forefront of the crowd immediately drew his attention.It was Amelia’s mother, her face twisted with emotion as she stood at the front of the group, demanding something. Richard’s heart skipped a beat. He knew of her, of course—she was a woman of stature, well respected in the business world, and married into the Hamilton family, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the region.

It was rare for people of her caliber to be caught in such public displays of protest.He had alway

Richard’s breath came in shallow bursts as he stood in front of Victor Carmichael, the man who had orchestrated the destruction of his family, who had built his empire on lies and bloodshed. The safe, which he had just been moments away from opening, now felt like a distant memory. His hand was still resting on the lock mechanism, but his focus was entirely on the man standing before him—Victor Carmichael, his face a mask of calmness, but with eyes that betrayed a flicker of unease.Victor’s calm voice echoed through the room. “So, you thought you could get away with this, Richard?”Richard straightened, his gaze unflinching as he met Victor’s cold stare. “I didn’t think I could get away with it. I planned for it. And I made sure my friends know exactly where I am. You can’t touch me, Victor.”There was a long pause as Victor took a step back, seemingly surprised by Richard’s resolve. His lips curled into a tight smile. “You’ve really thought this through, haven’t you? Always one step
Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Nine

It had barely been a month since Richard had joined Carmichael Enterprises, yet the impact of his presence was undeniable. In just a short period, he had transformed from a fresh-faced employee to one of the most talked-about people in the company.

Victor Carmichael himself had taken note of Richard’s rapid ascent, a rare feat in a company where loyalty was earned through years of backbreaking work. At first, it had been subtle.

Richard’s business acumen and ability to leverage connections had made him invaluable.

Richard sat in the quiet of Mr. James’s office, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood of the desk. The decision was made. He was going to do this. The path ahead was risky, but there was no other choice. If he was going to take down Victor Carmichael, he would need to get inside the beast’s den—his company—and slowly, piece by piece, tear it apart.The room around him seemed to hold its breath as Mr. James paced in front of him, the older man clearly troubled by the course Richard had chosen. Every few steps, he would glance at Richard, his face a mix of concern and disbelief.“You can’t be serious,” Mr. James said, stopping to face Richard. His voice was steady, but there was an undercurrent of worry. “This is a dangerous game, Richard. Getting inside Carmichael’s company? That’s not something you walk away from without scars. This man—he’s ruthless. And if he even suspects you’re playing him, he won’t hesitate to make you regret it.”Richard met his gaze with a

Richard’s mind raced as he stepped into the office. The sharp scent of wood polish and freshly printed documents filled the air. The sleek glass walls reflected his tired yet determined face as he moved past them. The office had always been a symbol of power, but today it felt different—like the calm before a storm.Mr. James, as always, was already waiting for him. The older man stood by his desk, his usual composed demeanor matching the gravity of the situation. As Richard entered, Mr. James straightened, offering a respectful nod.“Richard,” he said, his voice steady, “I’m glad you could make it. We have much to discuss.”Richard didn’t bother with pleasantries. “I’m here. Let’s get to it.”Mr. James nodded, gesturing toward the chair opposite his desk. “Please, sit down. This will take some time.”Richard took a seat, his gaze focused on Mr. James. The urgency in the older man’s tone only increased his already heightened sense of anticipation. The name Victor Carmichael still echo

He had just experienced the most public moment of his life—his declaration of independence in front of Eliza’s friends, his unspoken shift from quiet student to someone who could stand his ground—and yet, something was gnawing at him. His interactions with Eliza had changed, his standing among his peers had shifted, but there was still a quiet weight in the back of his mind, a presence he couldn’t escape: the past.As he gathered his things, slipping his laptop into his bag and adjusting his coat, Richard’s phone vibrated on his desk. His fingers hovered over the screen. H
