He stopped a taxi and went straight to the mansion. He was appearing to be fragile till he entered inside. His granny was stunned to see him that way. He left the house not for up to two hours and entered with an injury!
"Adrain! What happened to you?" She questioned with worries noticeable on her face.
Instead of him to retort, he began to climb the stairs to his room.
"Oh my goodness! I wouldn't have allowed you to leave If I knew you were heading to the place you will get yourself sounded. All these while that I've been watching you secretly, you didn't get wounded like this'' Granny exclaimed.
"It's nothing Grandma, stop worrying about me, I wouldn't have known a friend from a foe if I didn't go" he responded and entered his room.
Granny quickly called her doctor and ordered him to come immediately. Then, she went upstairs to check on Adrian.
After fifteen minutes, a young man that appeared to be in his early forties rushed inside. He was directed to the Adrain room, where he met him groaning in pain, along with Granny.
Adrain was treated and slept till the light went off.
★★★★★★★
He woke up the following morning, feeling more energetic. He yawned loudly and stretched his hands.
"Good morning young master," says from the entrance of his room. He was stunned since he hasn't experienced such.
"We are here to clean you and get you dressed for today" one of the four ladies uttered.
"Dress me up? I'm not a kid, so why dress me up" he asked, scoffing.
"I'm sorry young master but that's not a decision we can make. We have to follow the instructions sir" she conceded
Adrain stared at them for a while, noticing they weren't ready to listen to him.
"Grandma! Grandma!" He called rushing out of the room.
"Good morning darling, how is your health?" The old woman asked, not bothered by the way her name was shouted.
"I'm good, but I woke up seeing four ladies in my room. That's privacy invading for goodness sake! How will they barge into my room without notifying me?" He was ranting, sweating at the same time.
"What do you want me to do about that? They are only performing their duties, with no strings attached. You need to get used to them darling" Granny calmly retorted.
"Get used to what? Hell no! Call them out of my room right now! Else, I'll leave this house for you. I also need my privacy" he threatened, sounding more serious with the threat.
"What do you mean by that? Even if you are to leave this house, they will be after your inauguration as the CEO" she replied, trying her best to maintain her calmness cox she wasn't the type to speak calmly. Some even recognized them as tyrant business tycoons
"Then let me have my privacy if you want me to stay till then" he added.
"Fine!" With that, Granny ordered the ladies to leave his room. Adrain couldn't be happier. For the first time in his life, his voice was recognized. He went back to his room and dressed up for school in one of his expensive clothes that was in his wardrobe.
He wore a golden wristwatch and matched his dress with white sneakers. He styled his hair to another form and dyed it brown. He stared at himself for the last time and left his room.
He left the house afterward, with Rohan as his right-hand man, driving to the school in a black Lamborghini.
Lots of cars do drive in and out of the school premises but for a Lamborghini to drive in means a dignitarian is around.
Rohan drove into the school garage, calling the attention of the students and staff that were passing by.
"Wow! Don't tell me this car belongs to a student?"
"What do you mean by a student, it would be a visitor"
"I don't think it's a visitor coz we would have been notified if we are expecting a visitor in our school"
"If this person is a student, I wouldn't mind being his slave to get attached to him"
"He just is fucking rich! I guess he or she would be Trillionaire"
Those were the comments that were coming from the students. Their voices were loud enough for Adrain to hear. He was feeling glad within him and wouldn't stop smiling.
At last, he is no longer the pauper and the dirty nincompoop that he was referred to. Rohan was the first to step down from the car. He opened the door for Adrain to come down.
"Should I wait for you after school?" He asked.
"Nope, but will be expecting you during the weekend" Adrain retorted.
According to his grandmother, what he needs to make school comfortable for him has been sent to the school prior before he got there.
His black trousers and white shirt were speaking of wealth. Slowly but comfortably, he headed to the lecture hall.
The poor Adrain has a fixed seat, where he was told to sit to prevent transferring his dirtiness to other students. He walked to their seat and began to check through his latest iPhone 14.
"Hey! Guess you are new here but the seat isn't meant for something like you. One idiot was given the seat and for your health sake, it will be better if you join us" One of his fellow students suggested.
Adrain giggled within him. He never knew a day would be coming when his classmate would not be able to recognize him. He smiled in return and continued to press his phone.
Five minutes later, Matilda and Tony also entered the class, hand in hand together.
"Such a cute couple. Thank goodness that Matilda had finally left the dumbass" her best friend waved at her. They both sighted the so-called new student and went to check him out. Matilda was engrossed with the riches that were dripping from his head to toe.
"Hi, I'm Matilda. Can I know your name?" She asked, giving Adrain her best smile. Adrain chose not to reply. He pretended as if he didn't hear her. Though, he was burning in rage but still composed himself.
"It wouldn't be fun if I tell them it's me but it will be more fun if they happen to find out for themselves," he thought.
"Such a rude peacock" she hissed and left his side.
Adrain was still focused, waiting for the first lecture to teach them for the day, who seemed to be a bit late. His eyes were filled with his colleagues discussing his outfit and the cost of his total dress. Some ladies were drooling over him already and had started discussing how they will offer him their friendship during the lunch period.
A young woman, who happened to be in charge of the student's welfare, entered the lecture room.
"Good morning class, I'm sorry your first lecturer isn't available. He has been purging as a result of food poisoning and is currently on treatment. The next lecturer will be available soon" she made an announcement. Some students were happy their lecturer was purging while some felt sad.
The young woman walked towards Adrain with her iPad.
"Adrain Donald, on behalf of the school authority, we are sorry for any inconvenience you may have faced in the past and we promise to make it up to you in the future. According to the mail I received last night which I've worked towards, your new hostel is located in the white building and only you are using the second floor. Once again, we are deeply sorry" With that, she bowed a bit before leaving the lecture room.
"What! White hostel? Isn't that the hostel for the ten richest students in our school?"
"Wait, could that be Adrain Donald or did Miss Evenly make a makeake?
"Oh, it's the same Adrain. How come he changed overnight!"
Students kept murmuring and were surprised by the charges. Thru started comparing his physical attributes with the Adrain that left the school a day before.
"No! It can't be my Adrain!" Matilda rushed to his side.
"Sweetheart, is that you?" She commenced faking loving him.
"Tilda, where are you going? Don't let me because you are leaving me because your ex-boyfriend got popular overnight? I'm sure he is just faking it. Come back here while I'm still nice or break up with me" Tony roared, feeling annoyed with the whole thing.
"I only had a misunderstanding with Adrain, I didn't break up with him and for your loss, I'm done with you" she yelled back at Tony.
Adrain was only smiling, enjoying the whole drama.
"But what, how did it happen? He was here yesterday as a poor rat and turned into a Billionaire overnight? Is that even possible?" Rachel, the girl that slapped Adrain the other day, voiced out amid the crowds.
"I don't fucking care whether he fakes it. He is mine and I'm not going to allow any other bitch to come closer to him" Matilda screamed though she was also confused about everything.
"Why can't we play a game to know the richest among us? Who knows, he may have blackmailed Mrs Evenly with one of her pasts or something related to that to find his way into the white hostel and may have gotten these dresses at the roadside shops, faking his identity" one of them suggested while others quickly agreed.
"It's called the Game of the Riches, are you in, Adrain?" Tony questioned him.
"Sure, I'm in" he replied In his usual voice, which made them believe it was the same Adrain.
"But games ain't fun without a prize for both winner and losers" he added.
"The winner will be the king for a week, in which he will be able to rule over the students like a king while the loser will be the school's slave for a week and failure to do so will get him expelled," Tony said, in a mockery voice.
"Should we start now?" Adrain inquired, knowing nobody can beat him when it comes to riches. Then, he smirked afterward.
The game was scheduled to take place in an old museum that was facing financial crises and needed to auction off a few of its paintings. The highest bid for a chosen painting would be the winner while the person that couldn't afford the payment will be the loser. All to test the financial capacity, Adrian.Tony rushed back to the lecture room, he had gone to seek the school's permission for going out with the school bus."The driver is already waiting for us. So, we have to go guys" he implored his fellow students to follow him. Truly, Tony was also a son of a Billionaire and heir to a reputable company but his father doesn't support lavish spending."Adrain, it's not too late to back off. We all know you can't afford to visit a museum, talkless of participating in the auction. Don't you like how some respect was accorded to you for your decent dress today? Must you embarrass your ancestors? A fool like you doesn't know what the real game is about! Dumbass!" Rachel scolded him before
Adrain was shocked! The gaze on his face said it."Where could the card be?" He asked one In particular while still searching his wallet and trousers pocket."What happened young master, time is going and your painting has been packaged," the curator asked again. His mates were also glaring at him. Some have commenced their mockery laughs.At that point, Adrain knew something must be done to save his face from embarrassment."Can I have your account details? I'll like to transfer from my phone since I can't find my card. "He opted for another option since he had more than enough in his bank account."Sure" the curator responded, smiling.Adrain"s money transfer news was confirmed, which earned him some respect instantly from his fellow students. Some began to request for his friendship but he didn't waste anything to decline them all. After that, they left for school.Despite the screams and hails from the students, Adrain didn't bother to take a glimpse at the students. Instead, he r
Rachel headed towards her hostel while Adrain followed behind. The hostel was located at the edge of the school and it was built purposely for her."Are you the only one living here?" Adrain asked, feeling stunned that such a thing could be happening. It was known that all students were living in the school hostel while the richest ones were staying in the white building.Seeing another self-hostel built separately for one student amazed Adrain."Yes, as you can see, I'm the only one staying here" Rachel retorted nonchalantly. She didn't care about Adrain's status, as long as she was the one to train him."Wow! Incredible! Never knew something like this existed" Adrain was in awe."Your grandmother made it possible. She has the largest share in this school, which made all of her requests possible. She knew a day like this would be coming, that's why she made the preparations ahead" She explained and opened the door.The hostel was bigger than be hostel. It was a two-bedroom apartment
Matilda was sitting patiently, waiting for Tony to show up at the cafeteria. The news of what happened during the game of the Riches was all over the school blog. Tony had to use a face cap before he was able to leave his hostel. Yet, some people still noticed him." I can't believe he is still under his father, yet, he was ranting like he can spend more than others""I wasn't there but I heard he brought the game suggestion. Unknowingly, he only went there to embarrass himself""Shit! If he were me, I wouldn't have stayed another day in this school due to the humiliation" Those were the comments he was receiving from other students as he was passing. He was angry and clinging on his fist. If he was changed, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Adrain with the look he was wearing.Fortunately, he managed to arrive at the cafeteria without meeting those who would mock him directly to his face."Why did you come late? I've been waiting for the last thirty minutes" Matilda blasted him."Hey! Ke
It was already the weekend time, Rohan went to the school to pick Adrain up for the weekend as promised. Rachel also followed them since they were still training. "Oh my baby is here" Grandma rejoiced, welcoming Adrain with her wide arms. "Thank you granny but I need to complain Rachel to you. She is draining my energy every day" Adrain uttered while Rachel hit his knee from the back."Ouch! Can you see that" he completely while Rachel only grinned. Rohan almost busted out laughing too, seeing Adrain's reaction."You need it darling and I hope you will learn more so that you don't fail me" Grandma retorted."Now, go and rest, we are expecting some visitors," she added.Rachel went back into another unit of the mansion, where her room was located, along with Rohan's.Adrain was glad not to have met the ladies that would offer to Bath him at the entrance of his room.He entered, relaxing on the bed but the press-up scene was still playing in his brain." I need to practice hard so tha
The room was dark and stuffy. Rachel was the first to cough which made her open her eyes blurry. She instantly noticed the darker room and the poor ventilation."Adrain! Adrain!!" She called but no response, though she could hear him snoring beside him.Fuck! She wanted to tap him but her hands were tied backward to the wooden chair."Adrain!" She suddenly yelled, which woke Adrain."We have been kidnapped, Adrain!" She added."What?" Adrain exclaimed. He was feeling dizzy but his eyes had opened clearly."Shit! Now, I remember!" Adrain added, feeling stunned while recalling how they were bundled inside the car."What do we do now?" He questioned Rachel, knowing she had an experience regarding this."I have an idea but I need to know who abducted us and the reason behind it before taking any action" she responded, feeling calm too."Are you crazy? Is that what should be done now? We need to escape and you are talking about knowing the kidnappers! My ancestors wouldn't forgive you if a
Tony was sitting alone under the tree inside the school campus. He was reading ahead of the examination that was starting the following day but he was finding it hard to assimilate. He left his hostel to study under the tree, thinking it would help him but his efforts landed in vain.He could have gone to meet one of his fellow students to explain to him when the book seemed like magic to him but he couldn't, since they would not help him again. He was lonely. He stood up and headed into the library, hoping to find a clue to the topic he was reading. He was concentrating as he was looking for different textbooks that would give him more explanation on the library when he mistakenly collided with a lady."I'm sorry.." Before he could utter the apology, he was cut off."Will you open your eyes clearly and watch where you are going? Loser!" The lady screamed at him.Initially, that kind of lady wouldn't allow him to apologize but since he lost the game of the riches go Adrain, he had be
"Yes! We want to rewrite the exam" he repeated with courage."Excuse me, Mr.Donald, do you think we are sitting here to hear some sort of joke from you? If you don't have any other things to defend yourself, it would be better if you could just leave and await your judgment!" One of the judges, who happened to be a woman, blasted him."Mrs. Kay, I'm not surprised at all! What was I even expecting from a school with system failure? A school is huge like this and yet, you claimed you can't find the footage? How on earth would you find it, when it's sure that some of you are trying to send us out and put their wards in our positions? If not, you can prove me wrong by finding the evidence by yourself and making your judgment based on that or since you can't find it yourselves, let's us rewrite it, if possible give us different questions that are not in the first exam, and we will prove that the read and understood what we are taught before we sat down for the exam" He uttered.To his utmo
Kiara was pulled into one of the male restrooms while Rachel was also busy looking for her.Draco, on the other hand, also waited and couldn't see her again. He had to stand up and went to the restroom side, looking for her.After opening two doors, which were empty and others were locked, he went back to the bar.The abductor turned Kiara's back, making their faces staring directly to each other before removing his hand from her mouth."Adrian?" She Called with a faint tone and Adrain smiled.He has been trying, controlling himself from missing her but he couldn't cope anymore and since he was still in the city, he decided to pay her a surprise visit.Despite her disguise and fake mask, he was still able to recognize her."Is this you?Adrain?" Kiara asked again, still in shock.Adrain pulled her closer for a tight hug."You are doing well for yourself. I was scared when Tony informed me about using you for this revenge but I'm glad to see you doing well" He whispered to her.Kiara re
Rachel rushed to dress up and packed her hair into a rough ponytail. She still couldn't believe that she just spent a night with Harry under the influence of alcohol. She only came to appreciate him but has turned into something else."Jeez! How did it happen? I was even drunk to the extent that I couldn't remember how it happened!" She scolded herself as she made her way out of the room.She got to the living room and saw Harry preparing tea for her."Don't tell me that is for me because I wouldn't take it" she uttered while Harry smiled."I think you should have a sip because it's good for a hangover," Harry said.She was left with no other option than to drink the tea.After drinking, she was set to go.Harry walked towards her and placed his hand on her chin."Rachel, I nearly killed myself when you were in a coma, thinking that you ain't gonna make it. I nearly lost my sanity over your accident. I realize that my feelings for you ain't fake but genuine ones. Please, be my girlfri
"Ava, Ana,what are you girls doing there?" Ruth yelled at the girls."It's our brother. He is finally here for us. Wow! The moment that I've been anticipating is finally here" Ava rejoiced.Ruth was confused until she saw Peter dressed in disguise."He isn't your brother. He just looks like him. Now, go to the backyard and start playing" she chased them inside.Ava wanted to talk but Ruth cut her off and chased her inside.After that, she walked to Peter, who was still standing due to the shock that the twins could recognize him."Hello Peter" Ruth greeted."Unbelievable! I'm the only one that was left in darkness. I can't believe that you all recognized me while I had no idea about your existence, talkless of knowing you" Peter was in awe."It's normal. I don't expect you to know us since your father refused to add us to the family register. But I'm glad to see my daughters knowing you. They have always watched your video every day and love the songs. Anyways, why are you here?" Ruth
###Flashback###"How dare you harvest the organ of that little girl? Don't you know it's wickedness? Not only a random girl but my best friend's only child that I have been raising, you are cruel!" Peter's mother yelled at the director."Don't you get it? She has the same blood group as you! Her heart has been kept and it will be useful whenever we need a heart again! Were you deaf when the doctor said we should prepare in case the same thing repeat itself on our only son?" The chairman shouted back at her.At that time, Peter opened the door happily. It was his last day in highschool and he also got an admission to study his favorite course in college. He rushed inside to share the good news to his parents when he started hearing the argument.He calmly went to the living room and sat down on the sofa, hearing all the arguments."That's just it! We can start finding a donor from now and not killing the innocent girl. Whereas, if his condition is detected early, an artificial heart is
"Peter!" His manager yelled and entered. Peter Jerked away from his thoughts and stared at him."Why did you yell at me?" He asked."Why won't I yell when I've been calling you for a while but you are lost in thoughts? What happened? Did something happen during the date? Did you confess your feelings to her and she turned you down?" His manager bombarded him with questions."Why are you here? I think that's should come first" Peter asked, totally ignoring his questions."Your doctor called, asking if you would like to go for an artificial heart since there is no donor in sight but the chance is 50/50. What should I tell him?" He informed Peter."I'll think about it and give you the feedback!" Peter answered, pushing him out of the room and smashing the door to his face, preventing being asked another question.★★★★Adrain had been feeling guilty and wanted to open up to Ruth but didn't know where to start.When Cassie was busy attending to these customers, he summoned some courage and
Two days later, Kiara woke up to see a message from Peter. He was asking for a date with her. Kiara firstly discarded the message but on a second thought, she recalled that he was Raymond's son and she was curious to know what he was thinking about his father. Maybe he was in support of whatever he was doing or not.She stood up and went to the living room, where Kimberly and granny were watching a movie."Hey Ladies!" She greeted and smiled broadly at them.They also retorted the greetings and asked about the baby."I am going on a date this afternoon with Peter. Please, don't say no" she begged."Peter? Isn't that dangerous? Who knows, he might be working for his father!" Kimberly uttered."Mom, I've been friends with Peter for a while and I've been going on dates with him, though not an official date. I just informed you today, so that you would know my purpose of leaving the house since it is a public holiday" Kiara explained."What about you going with bodyguards? I don't wanna
Kiara's car drove to the Car's garage and her driver parked the car. She stepped down from the car with Irene by her side. Both were dressed in spot wears and Kiara belly has started protudelling. At least, someone would know that she is pregnant."The last time that I saw him was good. He treated us well and gave us VIP treatment at his concert. I wish to see him again and appreciate him" Irene uttered."We met up after the concert. We only met them to discuss random things and we also drank some wine" Kiara responded."Really? Oh, you should have called me to tag along. I would love to talk while drinking wine with my favorite artist" Irene declared happily."You were too busy at that time, so I couldn't call," Kiara answered.When they were about to enter the gym house, Irene noticed two or her friends, who were also her classmates. They weren't best of friends but at least, they did greet each other.The Trios exchanged pleasantries and also greeted Kiara."She is pretty" Irene he
The following morning, Kiara was still sleeping when Kimberly arrived. She rushed into Kiara's room."My daughter!" She called in anxiety.Kiara and her baby were her only hope and she wouldn't use them as a joke."Mom, is that you or am I hallucinating?" Kiara asked, still in her sleepy State."It's me. I took the latest flight to come back home, because of you. I didn't bother waiting for the chopper to come and pick me" Kimberly answered and sat beside her.A mere look at Kiara, she knew that she was seriously hurt.Kimberly moved closer to hug her. "It's okay to cry. Hiding your pain wouldn't only hurt you but will also hurt your child. I am giving you my shoulder from crying on" Kimberly uttered and Kiara bursted into tears, explaining all that she heard regarding her mother's death to Kimberly.While on it, the door opened, revealing Tony's father."I'm back to apologize again for what happened then" he said."It's not your fault. You tried your best to secure a good medical tr
Kiara went back to her room. She picked her handbag and cleaned the tears that were threatening to fall from her face."See you guys later" she uttered and went out."Don't tell me that you are going to drive by yourself!" Tony yelled and ran after her."There is nothing wrong with me, okay? I can drive!" She answered and was about to open the car door when Tony blocked her."I can't allow you to drive this afternoon. Let me drive you home, if you think going home will console you" He suggested.Instead of Kiara to allow him, she annoyingly closed the door and left to take a cab home.On reaching home, she met granny in the sitting room.Thinking about her, granny was the one feeling the highest pain. She lost her son and grandson to the cruel enemy and she was still trying to be strong.She dropped her bag on the floor and ran to hug her.She wasn't aware that she had bursted into tears, until she felt granny reciprocating her hug and patting her back."Don't try to hide the tears. I
