WISH TO BE RICH ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT
Johnathan was staring back as well, and Dr. Willstrum’s intense and unwavering gaze was starting to make him retreat a little.“I know a leading question when I hear one so tell me, Johnathan, why are you so interested in my past, specifically sixteen years ago?” Dr. Willstrum asked.He watched Johnathan’s demeanor closely. He saw the young man’s eyes fidget around the room as it was becoming difficult to maintain eye contact with him.He looked down and Johnathan was squeezing the armrests of the chair he was sitting on while he was also pushing his body deeper into the chair to create some space between the both of them.Johnathan’s breathing had also spiked significantly, even though he tried acting natural and he started breathing through his slightly open mouth which had his teeth gritted.Dr. Willstrum took notice of all of these things and when he had seen enough he smiled and leaned back.“Be a man Johnathan and don’t get scared so easily” Dr. Willstrum said as he chuckled and
WISH TO BE RICH LIRBARY
Johnathan walked into the library, using his memory of what he saw on the brochure back when he was writing his admission exams into Wellstone as his guide around the place.It was a little bit of a maze from the entrance of the building to the main library where the books and people are so that was what the brochure helped him get through.However, there is so much that memories of a brochure could help him accomplish so the first thing he did when he got into the main library is he walked up to the librarian and asked her where the series of books for engineering freshmen are kept.“..”Johnathan waited for a response while she chewed her chewing gum and operated her phone, going through different posts on social media.Johnathan cleared his throat and asked a second time. “I don’t know if you didn’t hear me the first time, but I am asking where the engineering books for freshmen are arranged?”The librarian huffed as she rolled her eyes away from her phone screen to look at him. Sh
WISH TO BE RICH OWNER OF THE BUGATTI
Johnathan flicked his eyes back to John. He was quiet for some seconds to calm down and when that happened he shrugged, saying “I don’t have one and even if I do, what makes you think I’ll tell you?”John became pissed and he threw his face to the side to smack his tongue before looking back at Johnathan.“Looks like you’re looking down on me Welfie just because you don’t know who I am. Well, lemme show you something I’m sure you’ll find interesting” John said then started taking out his phone from his pocket.Johnathan raised a brow, wondering what nonsense which he had absolutely no interest in that John was possibly going to show him. “Here in Wellstone, one of the best ways to judge that someone is a big shot when you don’t know their last name is by the type of car they drive. So, how big and important of a person do you think I am for driving a machine like this?” John said then showed Johnathan a picture of him sitting on a Bugatti.“The picture says it all and only I have a ca
WISH TO BE RICH DEBUNKING THE RUMORS
After John’s two friends who were sitting beside Johnathan had massaged their arms to get the blood flowing in the right direction again, curing their numbness, they looked at John and the other two beside him confusedly.“What’s the matter, John? Why you three looking shook like cats got your tongues?” the student by Johnathan’s right side said.When John wouldn’t say anything but look dumbstruck while pointing a trembling finger at Johnathan, the two friends by Johnathan’s sides looked at each other and then at Johnathan in their middle before looking at John again.They got up from their shared bench with Johnathan then they went around the table to go stand behind John and ask him what the problem was.The other two friends filled them in on who they’d discovered Johnathan’s identity to be and they too became shocked as they looked at Johnathan's annoyed face.All he wanted to do is study before his next lecture and here these idiots are, interrupting his peace and they refuse to
WISH TO BE RICH J FOR JOHNATHAN
“Are you stupid? Of course, he’s familiar. Didn’t we just talk about how we know him some seconds ago?” John asked the friend, annoyed by what his problem was to be asking such a stupid question.Johnathan bringing up Modella is already annoying enough and now this friend was asking obviously annoying questions. John just wanted to leave the table even more now and Johnathan started smirking because he could sense it.The friend looked at Johnathan skeptically then he whispered to John “That’s not what I was talking about.”John creased his forehead “Then what’s your point? You’re really making me angry with the nonsense you’re on about right now, you know that right?” He asked.“Just listen to what I’m saying.” The friend said then John decided to give him some seconds to explain himself. However, if there’s no point to his words then John’s ready to give him a hot slap before leaving.“You have less than a minute before I leave this bench so you better talk like your life depends on
WISH TO BE RICH FAKE SMILES
Johnathan looked at them, not being able to grasp the entirety of what they were just talking about, and was curious to know why they were all looking at him with eyes of amazement now.What had changed in the couple of seconds he used to flip to the first chapter of his textbook and read the first paragraph to now that made them like this?It was like they were all shells of what they used to be. Their faces had smiles but their body made it obvious that they were very pessimistic about him for some reason.“What’s with you idiots and those stupid fake smiles on your faces? You’re not fooling anyone, especially me. I know a fake and real smile when I see it” Johnathan said as he dropped his pen on the middle of the page he was on.He huffed, sat upright, and crossed his arms. He was making sure to observe them properly because it seemed like they were up to something fishy and he wanted to be prepared for when it eventually happened.Last time someone gave him a fake smile he receive
WISH TO BE RICH WHAT CAN’T MONEY BUY?
Immediately, Johnathan scowled as he let go of John’s hand which allowed John to stand upright and look down at Johnathan.“So that’s what this was all about,” Johnathan said, rolling his eyes and sighing annoyed.John chuckled as he rubbed his arm which Johnathan had made red while returning to sit at the opposite bench from Johnathan. Meanwhile, his friends had all already sat at the right and left sides of the table, giving the two of them their space to talk.“What else do you think we would have to talk about if not the truth of who you are? It’s an interesting topic after all, don’t you think so too, Mr. J” John said and Johnathan grunted as he crossed his arms.“So you know that I’m Mr. J and I have no reason to lie just to hide the fact, now what?” Johnathan asked apathetically as he shrugged.Now that he knew what the topic was he wasn’t as invested as he once was. Who cares if they know that he’s Mr. J, does that change his life or affect it in any way?John grinned “Well, wh
WISH TO BE RICH OTHER SIDE
John gulped as he leaned back a little and while smiling nervously he said “Nice joke, Johnathan. You can’t expect any of us to take a joking threat like that as real, do you? Only a crazy person would kill someone over what I said”John kept chuckling nervously as he looked at his friends who were also smiling worriedly at Johnathan. Johnathan was the only one with a calm and confident expression around that table and that’s because he was the one controlling the conversation now.Johnathan chuckled then picked his pen from his book and said “Only a crazy person would spend a hundred million dollars just to get a title like GOD, don’t you think so too, John?” John blinked multiple times as he gulped.“Well, that’s not the same. Spending money and threatening to kill somebody is completely diff—“ John was saying but Johnathan cut him off.Johnathan smirked wickedly “Spending money to get something done myself and spending money to acquire a professional to get something I couldn’t do

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.

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
