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
WISH TO BE RICH CAUGHT
Darius crossed his arms and frowned "What are you trying to say, prick?!""It's a simple question that needs a simple answer," Johnathan said then stepped closer to Darius.Even though George was between the two and he could have prevented Johnathan from getting closer so that nothing violent can happen again, he was too enthralled in what was going on to act.All he did was watch Johnathan walk past him and stand in front of Darius."How did you know what the size of the envelope is when you say you've never seen or touched it? Where did you get that information from?" Johnathan asked.Darius scowled "When did I ever mention the size of the envelope, I don't remember ever saying anything like that," he said."George, you heard him call the envelope small right, or am I the one going crazy?" Johnathan asked while peering right into Darius' eyes."…" Georg was quiet as he tried to think and remember everything Darius said since Johnathan made the accusation.Darius flicked his eyes to
WISH TO BE RICH PREMIUM DEBIT CARD
George who was surprised to see that his roommate of how many months was actually someone who could steal and then lie about it with zero amount of remorse felt his heart become broken by the betrayal.This was the person he defended against Johnathan but now he was being shown to have been wrong from the very start.George lost all hope of giving Darius the benefit of doubt so he let go of his wrist and Darius stood up straight, looking embarrassed about being caught.Darius walked back to his side of the room, going past Johnathan who still had the envelope raised to show him when he walked past and didn't address the question.Darius grabbed his bed and dropped it back on the bed-stand then he arranged the bedsheet and everything else to how it was before Johnathan touched it.All this while Darius hadn't said a word and all Jonathan and George could do were watch him and wonder what was going on in his head right now.Darius carried his headphones from the floor, played a song, an
WISH TO BE RICH WAKE UP
From his side of the room, George stared at Johnathan, wondering what his new roommate was looking so dumbfounded about as he sat on his bed and was saying nothing.Johnathan wasn’t like that before making the call so it definitely wasn’t something that had to do with any of them in the room. At least that got George relieved.But, since Johnathan also looked happy at the same time, George thought nothing much of it and went to sleep.Johnathan continued arranging his clothes in his wardrobe then he organized his side of the room to meet his satisfaction and with that, his move into the dorm was finalized.Because of every eventful thing that happened today from getting his three new cars, moving out of the apartment, and settling into Wellstone, and then what happened with Darius, even though Johnathan had only eaten once in the morning, he didn’t seem to have an appetite right now.All he felt was tired and sleepy.With nothing else to do aside from freshening up, Johnathan went int
WISH TO BE RICH RETRIEVAL
The first place Johnathan went to was the Vice Chancellor’s office and it was a lot easier to find with the map than he expected. Getting lost on his way to the dormitory yesterday had made him think that that’s how it’ll be for everywhere he wants to go in school but it wasn’t the case.The dormitory was just that rare occurrence that might not happen again if he follows the map as he should.It was also nighttime yesterday so that contributed to things being difficult but now that the day was bright, finding places became easier.Johnathan went into the building and asked the receptionist for directions to the Vice Chancellor’s office and she gave him then he went up.Standing outside the office door Johnathan knocked and waited for a response to be allowed in.“Come in!” a soft feminine voice at the other side of the door said and Johnathan did as told.“Good morning ma, I came to see the Vice Chancellor—“ Johnathan said with just his head making it through the door but then asses

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
