WISH TO BE RICH OVER DINNER
“When did that happen?! Johnathan, is he being serious?! Wow, you have a lot of explaining to do Mr.” Diana said, frowning that Johnathan was keeping such a big piece of information from her.“We were busy catching up on old times after the class and you didn’t think it was worth mentioning that by some sort of magic, you went from being broke to having a bastard level of wealth because that’s the only way anyone can be classified as one of the richest students in Wellstone. Even I’m not classified as that yet” Diana said then pondered and recollected for a moment.“Now that I think about it, it’s starting to make sense why people were so invested in your drama with Molly. It makes complete sense now and I can’t believe I’m just finding out now” Diana said and Johnathan chuckled bashfully, scratching the back of his head.“You know what else is cool?” George said, esthetic that Diana was this happy about his friend and roommate’s status.“No, what is?” Diana asked hurriedly as she sta
WISH TO BE RICH GOODBYE
“Over dinner? Huh?” Johnathan asked.He thought they were just going to hang out casually and maybe do a few sightseeing but she was making it seem like their next interaction would be something very serious and private.“Yeah, we should both have a long and quiet conversation about what both our lives have been like since we last saw each other, don’t you think so?” She asked and Johnathan shrugged.“I guess. I see nothing wrong with that” Johnathan replied.“Great to see that we’re on the same page and I have just the perfect place in mind,” Diana said.“Where?” Johnathan said then started to think of possible places she could be talking about but only one place came to mind.“The Cobalt Blue Restaurant. What do you think? You haven’t been there yet right?” She asked and Johnathan creased his forehead.“I knew it” Johnathan mumbled under his breath “It’s the same place I was planning to take Chris and Rachael to”“What are you saying, Johnathan? You haven’t been there, right? I’m wa
WISH TO BE RICH GATHERING
Johnathan parked at the same spot he had dropped Shirley off the week before and with the distance he gave, it wasn’t that far from the dorm’s entrance. He made sure that he was out of sight of the security guard stationed there as he knew that parking as he did for a certain length of time was prohibited.He is supposed to park at the back of the dorm like everyone else and because he clearly wasn’t going to do that, he didn't want anyone hassling him and telling him to leave if he happens to still be searching for Rachael longer than a few minutes.Before Johnathan could even come out of his car he could already notice the attention his car was getting from the female students who were either on their way to the dorm or to class.He could read the lips of a few of them and they were asking themselves if this was the same car that belongs to Johnathan Cross. Only the Bugatti was marked with his face, thanks to the pictures that spread the week before, but he has been driving this ca
WISH TO BE RICH PEN AND PAPER
For a moment he couldn’t understand why they seemed defensive but after studying their demeanor for a second longer, Johnathan’s excitement dwindled.From the crowd, he heard one of the girls say in a low volume “How annoying. You’re asking about Rachael and we’re here in front of you and you didn’t even bother to acknowledge us when we told you our names”The faces the other girls were making seemed to share that sentiment and he knew that there was no use getting his hopes up with these girls as they weren’t going to tell him what he wanted to know.His suspicion was confirmed when the girl he had asked the question finally answered after faking a smile.“No, I don’t think I’ve seen her. In fact, I’m not sure she stays in this dorm because if she did then I would know, right girls?” The girl said and the others started to echo in agreement with what that one girl just said.“I think you made a mistake thinking she lives here but regardless, why don’t you give me your number and I’ll
WISH TO BE RICH IMPORTANT QUESTION
It was a girl and she was leaving in the opposite direction from where they and the car were.Johnathan saw that she had silky long black hair with a luster to it that even from the distance he was at he could clearly see. The way it bounced and flowed in the breeze as she walked was also alluring.She had fair skin and was wearing an expensive-looking outfit that hugged her figure. Compared to the girls who have been pestering him for the last couple of minutes, this girl in the distance had a very impressive and feminine figure and curves on her. She had one of the best looks he’s seen, up there with dames like Shirley, Diana, and Modella and he hadn’t even seen what she looked like from the front.Without meaning to, he started to think if she was among the top ten hottest girls in Wellstone, and for a moment he got distracted from what he came here for. However, he managed to catch himself before he slacked too much.“Hmm, maybe I should ask her if she knows how I can get in touc
WISH TO BE RICH RACHAEL’S PLAN
Her ears twitched like rabbits’ and her body tensed up a bit when heard the sound of running footsteps coming for her. The thought of if this person was going to attack her or run past her made her heart race which got her ready to defend herself if the former was the case.She had already started reaching for her phone inside her purse in preparation, planning on using it as a weapon against whoever this person was.However, just as she grabbed the phone and was about to pull it out, she heard the voice that belonged to who was running after her.They asked her to give them a moment of her time and the manner they asked made her calm down and leave the phone where it was. The person behind her talked some more and after thinking about why the voice sounded so familiar she realized that it was Johnathan’s.She could never forget that soft and soothing voice, not after what had happened the week before and so she stopped from leaving, smirking because this was the moment she has been
WISH TO BE RICH THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
He wondered if he should go ahead with trying to clear things up but then the fact that he had already gotten her to agree was giving him second thoughts.In the end, he went with his gut feeling and smirked.“Great to hear that you’re on board with this. Alright, the location is The Cobalt Blue Restaurant outside Wellstone and the time is six o’clock. You don’t have to worry about anything, not how you’re going to get there or what you’re going to wear because I’ve got it covered” Johnathan said and Rachael raised a brow and tilted her head.“You do?” She asked then remembered that he was Mr. Rose Dana’s adoptive son or at least that’s what the public thinks.She wasn’t there at the gathering when everything went down but it’s public knowledge around Wellstone at this point that anyone who doesn’t know is either living in a cave, lying to themselves, or had been out and is just returning that day.“Yes, I do. Just give me your phone number and you’ll receive a package with everything
WISH TO BE RICH FAKE ACCOUNTS
Johnathan couldn’t believe the magnitude of the number he was seeing right in front of his eyes and so he refreshed the page.For a moment he thought that it had to be some sort of error with the platform but after the quick refresh, he ended up seeing that he had gained another thousand followers.“This number is crazy.” He said thinking that he was basically a celebrity at this point, a faceless celebrity.Those are the most followed because people are curious to know what they look like behind the mask.Johnathan remembered seeing the icon that says he was tagged by someone when he saw the new followers icon earlier and so he went into the section that allows him to see every detail about his account and he saw the people that tagged him.From the image at the end of the notification of being tagged, he saw that they were all clips from Modella’s stream and when he checked the posts one by one, he saw that they had nothing less than a hundred thousand views each.Combined, videos a

The paramedic who had the syringe in his hand paused, jaw dropped, leaning back and filled with utter confusion.Anthony who was seeing all of this instantly got a look of disgust aimed at Franklin and what he just did."What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced.He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground."Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could.Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm."Alright you fool, that's enough from you. Just take a look at wha

Chaos ran wild as many of the patients in the main entrance of The Meteor Garden hospital scattered for either their safety or as a knee-jerk response to Anthony and Franklin.Some were patients with high sensitivity like epilepsy, autism, or Tourette so the sudden act of violence was enough to trigger them.Being among the few staff there and a proactive one at that, the nurse behind the counter hurriedly grabbed the landline and put out a call."Can we get some medics over here in the main area, right now?! We need as much help as possible with handling the patients and also to put a stop to a visitor who's gone crazy!" she yelled into the mouthpiece then slammed the landline back on itself.The nurses were able to get to the more mentally balanced patients who only fell to the floor while trying to move away from Anthony and Franklin.As for those currently going crazy, they needed more serious help from the paramedics who were able-bodied enough to appropriately handle the situati

["Hello? Who is this?"] Finally, after three attempts his call was answered."This is Anthony, Mr's Faller. I was just calling to see how Samuel was doing" he sat in the bed with his shoes off but still had his casino dealer outfit on.["Umm, he's fine. It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"]After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not.Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth.Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account. I'll be just fine" he smiled["I'm glad to hear that and you make su

'The features, the resemblance, it's all so uncanny' Even in the intensity of the reproach, a conflicting thought lingered in Franklin's mind as he stared at Anthony.Anthony's face didn't undergo any negative changes after being accused, he remained as unfazed and stoic as ever "What are you talking about Sir, cheating in what game?""Don't play dumb with me kid, the others may have been too distracted to notice but I had my eyes on you the entire time and I know sleight of hand when I see it. Nothing can escape these trained eyes of mine" Franklin said."Okay sir, sounds like you're talking about a magic show you must have gone to. Sleight of hand? How does that have anything to do with me, a simple part-timer?" Anthony scrunched his eyebrows, tilting his head to the left."Why you!" Franklin exclaimed, smacking his tongue afterward.'Who is this kid? He couldn't be him could he?' Franklin's glare became even more intense and with that, it was evident that he wasn't going to back do

Since the beginning, the manager had had his head bowed ever so slightly that it looked like he had a slouch but in truth, he didn't ("Oh, one last thing. Always remember to lower your head when in the presence of these guests.") The manager told Anthony during the interview but Anthony responded with silence at the time.The manager took that as compliance but he was wrong as he has been glaring at Anthony but Anthony wasn't lowering his head to the guests. Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes.Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave.However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them. They were even more accepting of him than the manager had calculated, especially from the man on the left."So how did you get so skilled in cards kid? You also gamble a lot?" Asked the VIP on the left, puffi

"Ah! I caught you!" Exclaimed a panting voiceSeeing Samuel getting shoved and falling towards the street, Anthony screamed out his name, reflexively reaching out with one of his hands even though the distance between them was too great that he wouldn't even be able to do anything.The driver of the incoming truck panicked and smashed the brakes as hard as he could.Unfortunately, the distance between them was so small that their impact was certain, but still, he tried. The truck's tires skid forward, about to hit Samuel while at the other side of the road Anthony watched, unable to do anything.Suddenly, his eyes flicked to a few meters behind Samuel where he saw a man, an aged man in a carton brown pants suit, reaching out for Samuel.Everything happened so fast that before Anthony knew it the aged man had grabbed onto Samuel's wrist, then pulled the preteen towards himself.*VROOM*The truck passed, nobody was hit and the person on the passenger seat, whose heart felt like it was

Outside the Grand Blue Restaurant, Anthony brought out the ID card to stare at it, about to make a left turn into the next road."Who could have thought that this tiny thing would mean the difference between being jobless and under the control of my f*cking in-laws and now having part-time jobs in three different locations? I could have gotten my share of her hospital bills already if I had just done this since day one" he mumbled, finally turning the corner He scoffed "I guess it all happened for a reason because I wouldn't be trying to regain my power if I ha—" out of nowhere, a kid ran into him and fell to the ground."Ouch, my butt!" The kid complained, wincing and rubbing his butt "Why don't you watch where you're walking Mr." The kid yelled, not even looking up to see who he was talking to"Huh? What the hell did you just say to me you stupid brat?!" Anthony was furious, glaring at the kid who finally looked up at him and saw who he had just run into.Instantly he shriveled, sm

He picked up his ID card, not caring about what she had going on beside him."Okay, good luck with that" he started heading for the exit but…"Good thing you said that because you're the one who's gonna need it" she smirked and he stopped with his hand on the knob, turning around to face her."What's that supposed to mean?!" He asked with a frown, sensing that what she said was a threat.She got up, walked back to her seat, and sat down without any restraint that it almost broke the spring in the seat.She continued stuffing her mouth with her food while glaring evilly at Anthony."What did you mean by t—" he asked again but then she interrupted him."Since you're looking to work for a restaurant of this level, you should also know that there are benefits or I should say, connections, that being the manager has presented me with. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors, politicians, Mobsters, and even families in the Hierarchy all pay a whopping amount of money just to reserve seats around my t
