WISH TO BE RICH SUCH A GENTLEMAN
Johnathan gave her a confused stare and repeated what she said but as a question.He mumbled “Right all along that I am a sponsored student? When did she find out about that?”Both of them were close enough for her to hear the mumbling he was doing.“Don’t think I was trying to stalk you or whatever, 'cause I wasn’t. The intrigue with your name just came up in the secretary’s office while I was there giving her your items and while talking I found out about your application for the Wellstone scholarship program” she said but Johnathan still wasn’t clear with how that helped her come to the conclusion that she did.“..” Johnathan said nothing, waiting to see if she would say it.“You know, only students who can’t afford their stay in Wellstone apply for the scholarship program, and the ones that fail to get it never enroll even after gaining admission.” She said“Okay?” Johnathan asked, wondering where her theory was heading because it was right so far.“The only way for a student like
WISH TO BE RICH GET OUT!
Being in the position of power that she is and for as long as she has had made Shirley be and act a little tough so that nobody challenges her authority.Somehow, Johnathan after just spending less than half an hour in total with her has been able to bring out her soft and feminine side without ever meaning to.She looked completely different right now than she did even a couple of minutes ago and it showed in the way she comported herself in the passenger seat.Once he made sure that she was in her seat properly, Johnathan closed the door for her then he went around to get into the driver’s seat and then he ignited the engine.“So, where am I taking you?” Johnathan asked.“Just take me to my dorm, that’s all I want. Since you have class right now I’ll let you off easy for today but next time doesn’t think I’ll be this kind” Shirley said and then Johnathan looked at her.“So there’s going to be a next time? I didn’t know that” Johnathan asked and she jolted after realizing the implica
WISH TO BE RICH SHIRLEY’S BOYFRIEND
Shirley’s eyes fidgeted as she blinked rapidly.“Sorry, but what was your question again? I think I missed it” Shirley asked then started contemplating what she was going to say.There’s no way in hell she could say that it was Johnathan who dropped her off and there’s no way Rachael wouldn’t find out it’s him when she sees him driving the car elsewhere. She was screwed.What option should she choose, lie and hurt her sister later or be truthful and make her lose her trust in her now?Both seemed awful.“The car you just came down from, who was it?” Rachael asked again, stepping closer to her sister.Shirley’s heart was pounding the closer Rachael got and wanting what felt like an interrogation to end immediately she didn’t know when she opened her mouth and blurted the first thing that came to mind.She said “It was my boyfriend!” then she started panting.Rachael tilted her head and looked confused.Rachael said “You have a boyfriend? Since when?”Shirley sighed and managed to calm
WISH TO BE RICH JOHNATHAN VS LECTURER
Johnathan looked from left to right, silent because he wasn’t expecting to be asked that question.Back at Primrose, none of the teachers were bothered with him so even when he misses days at school because he was sick or comes late to class due to running a delivery, they never asked him anything.They even relished when he doesn’t come to class so he didn’t think it would be different now.Johnathan sighed then said “My name is Johnathan and I’m here for the class, sir”The lecturer grimaced in confusion and pointed down multiple times while asking “This class? You’re here for this class? You’re here for Engineering Mathematics 101?” Johnathan nodded and said “Yes sir”The lecturer crossed his arms, pursed his lips while nodding softly, and said “So Johnathan, why haven’t I seen you in any of my classes all through the semester until now? What have you been doing?”“I had an accident a couple of months ago and was in the hospital since. I just got released not so long ago which is
WISH TO BE RICH TAGGED PICTURE
An hour and a half after the picture of Johnathan and Shirley in the car together was posted, one of the students who is a big streamer and social media influencer logged into her Bubble account.Bubble Tv is for streaming and Bubble is the social media platform and she is big around the school on both platforms.She was bored with the class she was in and the first thing that caught her eye was a pop-up at the bottom of the Bubble app.The pop-up let her know that he had been tagged on a post which isn’t anything new to her.Usually, she gets tagged on random posts and comments a lot because of how popular she is and she doesn’t bother checking on them.However, right now she was bored out of her mind so she decided to just check the first three on the list.Because the student who took the picture and her were both in the same school and as such within proximity of each other, the notification of his tag was taken to the fourth spot on the list just like the three before his.She ch
WISH TO BE RICH BRADLY FINDS OUT
“Well Bradly, as your friends I thought we could visit you once or twice and maybe crash in the other rooms some days,” said the friend to Bradly’s left.“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea, right? We’re already neighbors in the dorms so this won’t be that different if you think about it” said the friend to the right.Student Union members are given a dorm room all to themselves which means that Bradly doesn’t have any roommates and from the look he has, he’s not looking for anyone any time soon.Bradly glared at the two and they flinched and shut up.“Don’t even dream about stepping your foot anywhere near that apartment once I get it. I enjoy both of your company 'cause you’re entertaining, just like two sets of clowns but don’t ever think you can overstep your boundaries, got it?!” He said with a threatening tone and they nodded their heads.“Understood Bradly,” said the friend to the right.“Sorry for saying more than we should have. It won’t happen again” said the friend to the l
WISH TO BE RICH BRADLY’S QUESTION
“Is there a problem guys?” George asked while smiling nervously as he started stepping back.Bradly grinned and stepped closer “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me”George grimaced in confusion and asked “Why don’t I tell you what? Is there something I’m missing here?”Bradly’s two friends got behind George and blocked his path then they held his shoulders so he couldn’t move though he struggled.“Listen here you worm, time to get to the chase. Two days ago, after the party ended, you went somewhere. Where did you and that idiot go to 'cause I know it wasn’t Wellstone?” Bradly asked with a hostile tone.“Sorry, but what idiot are you talking about? I don’t remember ever associating with idiots so maybe you’re mistaking me for someone else who does that” George said jokingly, trying to look for where to back off too but he was being completely held down.“Are you trying to play dumb or are you just actually dumb?” Bradly asked then looked at the expression George was making and palmed
WISH TO BE RICH THANK YOU DARIUS
Elated, Bradly let go of George’s hair and he dropped like a log on the ground.Bradly walked over to Darius while smirking then he said “Alright, you seem more reasonable than that idiot roommate of yours so tell me what you know”George stretched his hand to Darius and tried to stop him from saying anything by begging him not to but Bradly turned to face him and then signaled at his two friends who stepped on Darius’ back.They shut him up.Bradly faced Darius again and said “So, what were you saying before the interruption”“After the party, the both of them went over to Johnathan’s apartment to spend the night, and over there he got looked after and treated for the pains you caused him at the party,” Darius said and Bradly creased his head.“Apartment? What apartment are you talking about? How does that idiot have an apartment in this expensive ass city? What type of apartment was it?” Bradly asked.Darius shrugged then said “I don’t know but he said it was a multiple-story apartm

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
