WISH TO BE RICH LEAVING FOR WELLSTONE COLLAGE
Charles crouched near the front tire of the Bugatti and showed Johnathan the rims.Johnathan didn’t see anything wrong at first so Charles told him to look again.He tried remembering what the difference between the ones Charles was showing him now and the ones in the pictures on his phone and soon enough he realized.“The spokes on the rims, they connect to make a cross,” Johnathan said and Charles smirked.“On point sir but this isn’t the only place,” Charles said then he stood and went on to show Johnathan the other places on the car customized with a cross. There were a lot of them but they were all subtle.Even the license plate number had a cross on it but the cross was done in a unique style that grabs attention.It would be tacky if Charles just made the cross designs easily seen so as someone good at his job, if he hadn’t told Johnathan then he wouldn’t have even realized all the crosses his car had.“Thank you for the good work and the extra gift with the crosses Mr. Charles
WISH TO BE RICH SECURITY CHECK
He had already been sighted by cameras stationed a few meters before the gate which footage was streaming directly to monitors in the security post. As such, the security saw what he was driving way before he saw them.One of the security guards came out, walked up, and knocked gently on the driver’s window with the end of his flashlight which he didn’t need because it was barely dark out and the overhead lamps everywhere lit up the place.Johnathan rolled down the window and the security tried looking inside but he was doing it with an obvious level of fear and caution. He didn’t even switch on the flashlight because he didn’t want the beam to hit Johnathan’s eyes.All he did was a quick scan of the interior then nodded his head.The car Johnathan was driving was enough for this security guard to know that he wasn’t any regular person. So, if he doesn’t want to provoke Johnathan who looked rich and influential, or lose his job if Johnathan reports him to the school for misconduct the
WISH TO BE RICH DIRECTIONS
"Hey, look at that! Wow, what a cool-looking custom job""Yeah, I hear you. By the way, whose car do you think that is?"*SHRUG*"I don't know, never seen it here before. You think one of the Student Union people bought a new car?""I won't doubt that, they are the richest students in the school after all so maybe it's theirs, I don't know"Students started gossiping when Johnathan drove past them on his way to the male dormitory he was assigned to and Johnathan would look worried as he watched them staring at the back of his car through the rearview mirror.There were multiple dormitories spaced around the school and Johnathan was looking for the one he was assigned a room in. This information was on his student portal.Right now, Johnathan was using the map of the school that can be accessed through the school's website to find his dorm. He had made the switch from the regular Google map GPS function to this one when he crossed the security checkpoint at the gate.Still, Wellstone w
WISH TO BE RICH NEW ROOMMATE
Because of the new directions he received, it was easy for Johnathan to find the dormitory without having to rely on the map any longer.Soon enough, he was driving up to the dormitory, and just seeing it for the first time from afar he realized just how big it was."So this is why Wellstone school fees are so expensive" Johnathan commented.If all the other dorms as just as big then it only makes sense why students have to pay a hefty sum of money because their level of comfort which the dorm provides will be just as equivalent.Johnathan parked his car in front of the building, close to the entrance then he came out and went to take his two suitcases out of the trunk.There was a security guard he had to go through at the entrance of the building but the interaction was similar to the one he had at the gate so it went by with ease.As Johnathan was walking past the security guard, the man said "Sir, for sake of order, cars aren't parked here. You'll have to park at the back where th
WISH TO BE RICH DARIUS
Still standing by the door, Johnathan looked into the room and saw someone else who had just finished taking a shower and dressed up waking to one of the beds. The second roommate?"Who's that?" Johnathan mumbled and George looked over his shoulder."Oh, I sometimes forget he's here because of his personality," George said then turned around completely to face his other roommate."Hey Darius, what's wrong with you?! Our last roommate just arrived, come help him with his luggage!" George yelled out.Johnathan panicked a little "George it's fine. I can carry this one myself. In fact, I can carry both so the two of you don't have to help—" he said but George cut him off."Don't be ridiculous Johnathan. After what you did for me yesterday this is nothing" he said then frowned at Darius."Hey Darius, didn't you hear me? I said come help our new roommate out! If I shout anymore I'm going to make the other students come out"Darius flicked his eyes to both of them at the door then he smacked
WISH TO BE RICH SNOOPING
George palmed his face and shook his head from secondhand embarrassment.He looked at Johnathan and said, "Sorry about him, I don't know what's got him in a foul—"Johnathan cut him off by pointing at Darius with his chin. He said "I'm not the only one, take a look at that"George turned to look at what Johnathan wanted to show him and he saw Darius' second hand flipping him off as well and he was left confused about what he could have done to deserve that.Johnathan took in a deep breath and sighed."Anyway, since I've dropped these I'll be back to arrange the contents later," Johnathan said and George hurriedly turned to him with a curious look."Why? Where are you going?" George asked and Johnathan pointed down."I'm going to go park my car properly. I told the guard at the entrance that I'll only be up long enough to keep my luggage so I have to go keep my promise" Johnathan said and George gasped as his jaw dropped in amazement."You have a car?! Johnathan, why didn't you tell me
WISH TO BE RICH ENVELOPE
Johnathan raised his suitcases and dropped them on his bed then he was unzipping them so that he can start taking out his clothes and arranging them in his wardrobe.“That’s a lot of clothes. Sure you don’t need some assistance?” George asked.“Nah, I’m used to organizing things. Taking them from one place to the other shouldn’t be a problem” Johnathan said, remembering one of his previous jobs.George grimaced with curiosity “Really? Where did you learn to do something like that? Did you work somewhere before finding your sponsor?” He asked.“Yeah, I worked a few odd jobs but that’s all in the past now. I’m never going back to that life” Johnathan replied and started taking out the clothes from the first suitcase.Just as he touched the first cloth, Johnathan’s phone started ringing and he had to put a hold on what he was doing to answer.“Hello, Abraham, what’s up?”[“I’m fine Master Johnathan. I was calling to ask if you’ve arrived on campus yet?”] Abraham asked.Johnathan held the
WISH TO BE RICH GEORGE THE MEDIATOR
"Envelope?! What fucking envelope are you talking about your freaking asshole?!" Darius growled at Johnathan."Are you out of your mind?! Why would I want to steal some small envelope from your suitcase? Do I look like a thief to you or have you gone mad?!"Johnathan got even angrier and he raised Darius from the bed and made him stand up. Johnathan was obviously taller than Darius, he was the tallest in the room even so he had the height advantage and Darius couldn't break free.Just then, George who didn't understand why his two roommates were fighting jumped out of bed then went to separate them.George tried to force his way between the two but Johnathan wasn't allowing him and Darius didn't want him anywhere close to him so he was also shoving him away.George didn't care however, if these two don't stop their fighting right now then their noise would start drawing unwanted attention to their room and that wouldn't be good.They already walk on eggshells due to their status in t

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
