Richard Morgan boards a bus to the Star Royal Hotel where he works as a waiter there.
Today was a special day because it was this day two years ago that Jane Andrew agreed to be his girlfriend.After work today he planned on going on a date with her.
Filled with joy all over his face,Richard went into the Star Royal restaurant where he works.
As he put on his black trousers and black shirt, the dress code for his work,he waited to be called upon by the customers in need of his service.
Just then,a young man and a girl walked into the restaurant.The man was wearing a Gucci shirt,a Rolex watch,and a Benz key fold hanging on his waist.The woman was dressed in a short red gown that revealed her curvaceous shape.The two clung to each other and flirted with each other like they were a couple.
“Jane?” Richard could not believe him and he hastily ran to them.
Earlier that day,Jane had told him that she was going to see her aunt who just gave birth but she would return back later in the day.
She was startled,her expression changed.She subconsciously wanted to break free from the youngman when she heard Richard's voice,but the youngman was holding her tightly.
“What are you afraid of? Do you still want to be with that broke guy?”The young man beside her asked sternly.
Jane's eyes flickered for a moment.She was not as panicked as before.But she was filled with rage.
“Well now that you have found out,I guess it's time to let you know,Richard,” said the youngman holding Jane, “Your girlfriend is dating me now”.
He was Richard's classmate,Dominic Prescott. Unlike Richard,he was a rich kid.
Richard staggered back as his face was grave when he heard Dominic's words.Then,ignoring Dominic,he pulled Jane over. “ Come home with me,Jane.I promise to work harder to do anything you want me to do for you.
“Don't touch me!” Jane pushed Richard's hand away. Why should I go with you?Can you afford to buy the phones and handbags that I like? Everytime I ask you to get me a new item you always say I should manage the old ones I have.How long will I keep managing them?”
“Maya,I may be broke now,but I will work harder.” Richard said convincingly.
“Work harder?You are an orphan with no money or background.You can't achieve anything the level of wealth that Dominic has just by being a waiter in this restaurant” Jane sneered.
‘Wake up,Richard.Jane won't go with you.Do you want her to become a waiter with you?Dominic taunted him.
“I have long wanted to tell you that you don't deserve me because you can't afford to take care of my needs.We are done,Richard.” Jane said in an icy voice.Then she turned to look at Dominic with a fond smile and hold him by his hands.
“A broke guy like you doesn't deserve love you know? Dominic shot a disdainful look at Richard as he walked Jane to the reserved table he had made for them.
Richard looked at both of them while his heart was aching as Jane left.
He immediately noticed as all eyes around stared at him.Those around had been watching the scene as it unfolds and was wondering why a waiter like him would be interested in such a beautiful lady.
Richard felt angry,painful,indignant yet helpless.He was humiliated in front of the people there at the restaurant.
Richard lowered his head in shame because he had been publicly humiliated.
Richard and Jane met in college.They had been together since 100 level of resumption.She was innocent back then,but now,she had betrayed him and chose Dominic.
Richard did not beg or persuade Jane to stay because he was broke,Jane had repeatedly insulted him for the past two years.Nevertheless,Richard had never said a thing.All he could do was work harder and make more money to support her.However,she cheated on him by hooking up with the rich kid.
“You have humiliated me today.One day,I will make you realize that it is you who don't deserve me,” Richard said to himself with a gleam in his eyes.
Richard angrily left the restaurant,his Charles who was also working with him as a waiter chased after him to ensure he was safe.
Charles quickly catches up with him.Charles who was not just his friend but also his room mate said “You have to pull yourself together and move on.I told you a long term ago that Jane doesn't belong to our world.She is beautiful,hot and have good shape.I knew at first glance that she wasn't serious with the relationship”
“You have nothing to lose, just get another girl as a replacement for her.They are many girls out there you shouldn't be tied down by one.”
“The thing is I genuinely love her and I'm only interested in her,” Richard said.
“But she has left you for someone else so you should move on and let's go back to work if not you will lose both Jane and your work” Charles replied.
“I will be heading back home,you can return to work as for me I'm done working” Richard stated.
Richard was only doing the part time work so that he could cater for the needs of Jane but since they have broken up there was no need for him working.
Charles returned back to work while Richard headed home.
As he was walking down the road thoughts of the confrontation he had with Jane filled his mind.
“How would she have done this to me after everything I did for her?” he wondered to himself.
Filled with thoughts about his breakup with Jane he didn't notice the black coloured Rolls-Royce coming towards him as he crossed the road and he was knocked down by the car.
As Richard walked aimlessly on the street of Vatican town,he couldn't help but keep thinking about what Jane said that he can't take care of her.He couldn't believe that someone he loved and out of his whole heart could betray him like this.He loved Maya with his whole heart and he thought she loved him as well.He had never hated being so poor his entire life.He looked around his surroundings and saw that he was now at an open field.The moon shone brightly on the field,creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.He sat down on the bench and closed his eyes.The day's events started running through his mind and a myriad of emotions ran through his heart.He regretted being poor today.How good would it have been if he had an abundance of wealth?If it was so no one would look down on him.He wouldn't lose Jane to someone like Dominic.Afterall women love money and he wouldn't have been disturbed about any of them since he will have a good number of them fighting over him.He sighed.It was o
Richard stepped inside the room and entered what seemed like a study.There was a huge and neat desk with glass top and a mahogany stand in the room and behind the desk sat an old man.There were some documents littered on the table and it seemed that the old man was going through them before James walked into the room.Richard had expected the master to be someone who was high and haughty with plenty of women surrounding him ready to obliged to any of his demands.After all,it was a known thread that happen with wealthy men like this.However his imagination was a little too wild and completely different from the actual scene.The master was no high and haughty person,but a simple old man.He was different from the actual person he has thought him to be.As Richard was staring at the master,the master was staring at him in return.He narrowed his eyes and adjusted his glasses to take a closer look at Richard.After a few seconds of studying Richard turned to James who had been staring at hi
Richard struggled to make sense out of what his grandfather had said.He was still yet to overcome the shock of finding the identity of his parents,yet his grandfather had dropped another shocking news.for him.He wondered how many times he would be surprised before he would be able to take a break.“The Morgan Empire heir?” Richard asked.“Yes, you are the Morgan Empire heir” Richard grandfather answered.Richard was shocked once again.As a student in school he knows what a business empire was.He was aware that anyone who claims to have an empire was very wealthy.A business empire is a collection of businesses with the shared highlighted management especially one ultimately under the control of one individual.Richard looked at his grandfather differently.This revelation explained why everything here was so luxurious and why his grandfather butler was able to drive a car as expensive as a Rolls-Royce.Richard was confused as he wasn't familiar with the Morgan Empire.The fact he was po
Richard woke up after he had slept for a long time and was refreshed.He has never enjoyed his sleep like this because the bed on which he layed was so soft that he wasn't willing to wake up.He has taken a long time in the shower,admiring the luxurious decoration in the bathroom as well as the beautiful bathtub and full wall mirror.After taking his showers,he draped a white bathrobe and cleaned his body properly before changing into his dress, he had no other outfit as he never expected to spend the night away from his dorm.He pulled the expensive black curtains and looked outside the window from his room.He noticed it was daybreak and remembered he was still a student of Willowbrook University.Richard recalled everything that happened last night.His whole life literally turned upside down.From being a broke waiter whose girlfriend abandoned him to owning several top companies and businesses in the world.It was unbelievable.He pulled out his phone and remembered had switched it off
He thanked James for his help so far as they both went their separate ways.He checked his phone and he noticed he still had two hours left before the class got started.His hands got hold of something inside his pocket.He remembers it was the golden customized debit card he was given.He was eager to test it.On his way,he noticed a nearby bank along the road.He entered the banking hall of the bank.He went straight to the teller counter.The teller lady,a woman in heavy makeup and a professional suit,saw Richard come in and said lazily, “How can I help you?”She sounded cold.From her look on Richard,she felt he was somebody that was not worth her attention.Richard was wearing a faded shirt and a black rough trouser,looking like a pauper.The woman acted uninterested,thinking it was just an insignificant customer.Nevertheless,Richard did not mind her bad service and attitude. “I would want to perform a withdrawal,” he said sternly.“Withdrawal?Don't you see the ATM over there?” The tell
On arriving at his hostel,he discovered that everywhere was quiet and no one was left at home.He was surprised that they left for the class on time but when he tried to check his wrist watch he discovered that he had 10 minutes to make it to the class.Mrs Harper class is a class no one dares to go late for because once she arrives before you you'll be left to wait outside the hall until she's done with the class.Richard was very well aware of it and he hurriedly left his hostel for the class to see if you can still meet up with the class.He left with his bag and the bag containing the huge sum of money.5 minutes later you're right at the classroom but he was still late when recharge got to the classroom entrance he felt the whole class staring at himMrs Harper was already in the classroom and as usual,Richard will not be allowed into the hall.“Excuse me!” Richard called out as you stood by the door.Mrs Harper have been focused on her teachings that she forget to noticeMrs Harpe
“Natasha,Isabella, what are the two of you talking about?” Charles yelled furiously.“Was I wrong,will this penniless waiter have the money to join the lunch party?”“We have so many parties together as a class but have you ever seen him join one”Natasha responded while rolling her eyes.“I'll pay for Richard if it doesn't have the money.Is it really necessary for all of you to humiliate him like this?” said Oliver who step forward. He could not stand them anymore.“Hey Oliver,since you are so wealthy why don't you pay for me as well?”Dominic shouted with a poker face after he and heard what Oliver said.Oliver turned to glance at Dominic. A hint of uncertainty flashed across its eyes.Even though Oliver's family was doing quite well,his family's wealth was nothing compared to Dominic who was from the Prestigious Prescott family therefore he could only shut up.“I'll pay for Richard. We are all classmate.Was all of these necessary?”Christabel yelled with a frown.She could not stand th
It wasn't long, they arrived at the most famous restaurant in Willowbrook,Seven Star restaurant.The moment Richard classmate entered seven star restaurant,their eyes were wide in astonishment.Even though many in WillowbrookUniversity were from wealthy family,it did not mean that all students were very wealthy.There were student from average income families who had never been to a place like that.Meanwhile,Charles and Oliver were trailing behind Richard with anxious expressions.“Richard do you really have enough money to treat everyone to a meal?” Oliver hesitated before whispering to Richard.“Don't worry.Since I dared to come, I must have the money to foot the bill,Richard responded calmly. Just as Oliver wanted to speak further, a beautiful lady in white dress walked over Richard and everyone else with a smile.When the beautiful Lady saw Richard,a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.She then turn to Dominic and bowed while saying, “Mr Prescott are you here for a meal?”
