WISH TO BE RICH DIANA DANE PT 11
Stirling stood up from the table to go sit back on his chair at the opposite end but first, he said "Since he's your new partner, why don't you tell him, Diana" Adam looked at Diana and she said with a nostalgic look on her face "The pizza place he's talking about is somewhere I was resigning from when I and Mr. Chase met for the first time. I was just about to cross the road when he parked in front of me and came rushing to talk to me"Stirling sat on his chair beside Janice and said "The best decision I ever made and it's all thanks to that pizza place" Diana smiled and looked down in reminiscence but then an intrusive memory forced itself into her head which made her think "Wait, that's the same pizza place Johnathan told me that we can't be friends anymore. That's right, Johnathan, it's been so long since I last saw him. I wonder what he's up to now"While Diana was thinking about all her fun memories with Johnathan, Janice was communicating with the receptionist on the ground f
WISH TO BE RICH DIANA DANE: FINAL PT 12
Security came and carried Johnathan off the ground while the people they called to disinfect the place came to do just that as they were all going to the hospital.After her test which they paid charitably to make sure the result comes fast, Diana was told that she was fine and that there was no virus in Johnathan's blood or body fluids to get her infected."Alright Miss Diana, everything shows that you're okay so can we go now? Because of the time difference we can't waste any more time here" Adam said as they all stood together in the hospital but then Diana saw one of the nurses that were there when Johnathan was admitted."Gimme one minute," Diana said then left to go speak with the nurse."Excuse me nurse but I was with the people who brought the skinny-looking young man who was also unconscious in here." She said and the nurse focused on her."Oh, you're the one who paid the hospital bill for the young man aren’t you? Johnathan, is his name right?" The nurse said and Diana nodde
WISH TO BE RICH HISTORY
Johnathan and Diana were so happy to see each other again that they forgot where they were or that they had such a large number of people around them. They didn't care that everyone's eyes were on them. Their reunion was more important than that, but also, another thing they found more satisfying was the shocked look Bradly and Molly made by their side right now.Bradly cleared his throat to get their attention but it didn't work, meanwhile, Molly clenched her in annoyance, grumbling and vibrating visibly so that they would notice her but they didn't bother to address what she had going on."What is this nonsense, the two of you know each other?! How on earth is that possible?!" Molly who had had enough of being ignored asked with a look of disgust.Just then, both Johnathan and Diana flicked their eyes to her to see that she losing her mind and they smiled internally.Johnathan flicked his eyes to Bradly and saw that he too shared the same sentiment with Molly and he wanted to react
WISH TO BE RICH WELLSTONE’S HOT BACHELOR
Molly got angry that she was being shamed in the eyes of everyone."Why you—" she exclaimed, about to slap Johnathan for what he said when suddenly the lecturer who had been waiting for them inside the lecture hall since showed up."What the hell are all of you still delaying the class for? I can't teach a single student so get in here and let's begin" the lecturer said, talking about George who was the only student seated in the hall right now.Everyone who had thought they would be experiencing a slap this morning was disappointed that it wasn't going to happen and so they went into the class, lacking luster.Johnathan and Diana went in together too, leaving Bradly and Molly. They say next to George and all three became the focus of everyone throughout the entire lecture.Bradly who was jealous of Johnathan when everyone was heading into the class could only sneer at his rival's back and wish he was the one Diana Dane was walking that close to.He wished she would give him the time
WISH TO BE RICH MOLLY’S CONFRONTATION
Molly was fuming from the nose as she glared at the picture and was seeing the happy grin Johnathan had from winning the raffle. At the same time, her roommates were quick to notice her dissatisfaction.There’s no reason for anyone to have this level of offense and annoyance in their reaction to seeing a stranger so it left them with one answer as to why she became like that.“Molly, do you know Johnathan by any chance?” The first roommate asked and the second looked at her roommate sitting beside her on the bed skeptically.“How can that even be possible? Aren’t you the same person that told me you heard from a reliable source that Johnathan started school last week so how can Molly know him when she was on her travel all week long?” The second roommate asked and the first grimaced.“Yeah, I get that but can’t you see that Molly looks like she knows him? That’s the response of someone who has a history with Johnathan, don’t you think so too?” the first roommate said, pointing at Moll
WISH TO BE RICH DIANA VS MOLLY
He had now become her ideal guy, even more than Bradly and it made her angry that he wasn’t like this when they used to date. Maybe she wouldn’t have cheated if she had dated this Johnathan but there’s no going back now.“Why so uptight Molly? This is a public place and yelling like that is a really bad look, especially for someone whose entire persona revolves around looks, a model” Diana said but Molly glared at her.“I’m not talking to you right now so mind your business. My talk is with Johnathan” Molly said dismissively and Diana frowned.She definitely hadn’t forgiven Molly for cheating on her best friend in the past and here she is, having the audacity to try and talk to him like they are dating? Is she crazy? Diana thought.“That’s where I’ll stop you Molly, Johnathan and I are having a conversation so—“ Diana was saying but was cut off by Johnathan who saw that Molly’s antics had drawn Chris’s curiosity enough to stay back and not leave like he was going to.“It’s fine Diana,
WISH TO BE RICH JOHNATHAN’S ANSWER
“Did you just hear that? Diana said she’s going to do what to Molly or is my ear just hearing things?”“Is it even possible? Can she do what she just said she would to Molly?”“Wait, I just realized that Diana is the face and ambassador of the Wellstone modeling program slash scholarship. That means she has a say on who benefits from the scholarship and who doesn’t, right?”“I think you’re right. Don’t forget she’s also a big celebrity so those special rules that people like Modella have also apply to her” “What the fuck, I completely forgot that Diana is such a massive influence in Wellstone. Because she doesn’t show off like the other celebs it skipped my mind that she’s just as dangerous to mess with if not more than the others.”“Looks like Molly is fucked 'cause she just tried to slap someone the goddess of beauty, Diana, calls her friend. I wonder what Johnathan is going to say. How is he going to handle this situation because everything is in his hands now”The other students w

Johnathan looked at her from head to toe then he shook his head in pity before shrugging apathetically.“Honestly, you do a fine job of accomplishing that yourself,” he said and Molly grumbled.“Anyway, there’s nothing to worry about. I have absolutely zero reasons to want to see you expelled. It would give me no pleasure ‘cause as I said, I want nothing to do with you” Johnathan said and everyone was surprised that he was this big of a man to let her go Scot free after all she’s done.Molly lowered her head, smirked, and said to herself “I knew a love-sick idiot like you could never do anything to offend me. Maybe I’ll give you another chance with me if you grovel and beg—“Johnathan interrupted her thinking.“We have no qualms because I didn’t expect a different behavior from what you just showcased. Unlike everyone else, I already know who you are behind the makeup and facade. For them on the other hand, it’s a different story” Johnathan said, making Molly raise her head and look a

THE MIDNIGHT HEIR PT 22(FINALE)
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
THE MIDNIGHT HEIR PT 21
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
