WISH TO BE RICH RAFFLE DEADLINE EXTENDED
“This is getting interesting if I should say so,” Johnathan said and George who heard him this time smiled.“I know right? Getting adopted by someone like Mr. Rose Dana is crazy. That’s a fairytale come true, like the plot of one of those Urban novels I read sometimes. Imagine being poor all your life and then getting adopted by a trillionaire overnight, what a life-changing event that’ll be. I wonder who the winner is going to be at the end of all this” George said and Johnathan looked at him skeptically.“You make it sound like you don’t think you have a shot at winning. You know anything is possible and maybe your numbers will be called” Johnathan said and George grimaced.“Anything is possible I know but what’s the chance of me winning when I didn’t even participate, to begin with,” George said and Johnathan became shocked.“Wait, you didn’t? Well, I guess there’s still some time left so you can do it now before it’s too late” Johnathan suggested as a joke because he already knew
WISH TO BE RICH RAFFLE KICKS OFF
“What for?” Both of them asked.“I said gimme your phones and show me your portals. Something tells me that I can’t trust you two” Bradley said as he opened his hands to collect their phones.“Umm, my phone is dead right—“ Chris was saying but Bradley cut him off.Bradly grabbed his collar and said “I told you to bring your phones and show me your portal. Do it now or regret it later” Chris was shaking so Bradly looked at his trouser pocket which had a phone-sized budge so he took it for himself.Bradly used Chris’ face to unlock the phone then he accessed his student portal, already knowing his login details.“Here you go Bradly, look,” Marcel said as he showed Bradly his portal and he wasn’t participating in the raffle.“Alright, you’re good. Lucky you, because you would have been in for a world of hurt if you were participating after I told you not to. This just leaves—“ Bradly said then looked at Chris’ portal and saw something which made him frown.“What do we have here? A backs
WISH TO BE RICH WINNING TICKETS
Dr. Willstrum who had gotten a microphone of his own asked Mr. Rose Dana to wait a moment before starting the raffle and the elderly gentleman waited.Now given the time he asked for to address the students, Dr. Willstrum used it to remind them to watch their raffle ticket numbers carefully so they don’t miss when it’s called as they won’t be repeated once passed.When that was done and all the students were watching their phone screens like hawks and listening to the numbers that would be called like rabbits, Mr. Rose Dana commenced.“The first number is seven,” Mr. Rose Dana saidIn the raffle basket were a hundred tennis balls of five different colors. This meant that twenty balls in the basket were of the same color and Mr. Rose Dana is to pick one of each color to make the five winning numbers.The balls of the same color are meant to reflect the first twenty numbers which are zero to nineteen. This means that the winner should have a combination comprising of those numbers in co

"There seem to be some challenges with the result so give us a moment to get to the bottom of it," Dr. Willstrum said to the students then turned off his microphone and gathered with the other officials.Even the camera operators took the initiative to stop filming the podium and start videoing the students seated all around the Arena Hall.They were giving the officials the privacy they needed to come to a resolution before the award ceremony continues."How do we settle this situation?" The Vice-Chancellor asked the gathering of officials which also included Mr. Rose Dana and they started to discuss it.Meanwhile, the three winners of the raffle were having their own conversation."Who would have thought that three people would win the same prize, talk less of the fact that out of the thousands who participated it ended up being the three of us. Is this what they call fate?" Jack said then chuckled.Bradly who had his arms crossed, looked at his cousin and then at Johnathan and saw
WISH TO BE RICH BROTHERS
“After a lot of talking, we’ve finally come to a solution for the predicament we’re having with three winners for a single prize. As such, we decided to leave it to the winners to answer this question themselves, and whatever their answer is, that’s what will happen” Dr. Willstrum said then gestured at Mr. Rose Dana to ask the question.Everyone focused on Mr. Rose Dana, including the three winners who had no idea what was going to happen.“There are three rooms in the apartment so do the three of you wish to have combined ownership of the apartment or not? My offer still stands for the winner to be a part of my family and I understand that two of you here are already family so that should make things easier. So what do you three say, do you share the prize?” Mr. Rose Dana asked and everyone had their focus on the three winners.What is their response going to be? They wonderedThe first to respond among the three was Bradly who showed obvious contempt for the idea.He said “Me? Share
WISH TO BE RICH LEAVING
Everything finally came to an end and everyone started leaving the Arena Hall. As the winners, Johnathan and Jack were still standing on the podium until the end but Jack was the first between the two to exit when everything was over, while Johnathan remained because he wanted to talk to Mr. Rose Dana. The officials left before Jack which means that only Johnathan, Mr. Rose Dana, and his security team were left on the podium. The two of them went closer to the chairs which the officials had sat on and when Johnathan glanced at the students who were all walking towards the exit, he realized that the looks they gave him were different. He was being given the looks he’s noticed Bradly and the other rich kids in Wellstone get. Same one everyone who knows that he’s the owner of the Bugatti gives him. Because of Mr. Rose Dana “adopting” him into his family, Johnathan was now, to public knowledge, one of the richest students in Wellstone and the students' demeanor towards him had changed
WISH TO BE RICH UNINVITED NEIGHBORS
Exiting the stairwell and walking into the floor that his room was in, Johnathan was surprised when he noticed that the floor seemed deserted. Because of the days he’s stayed in the dorm, Johnathan had gotten used to running into at least one student outside the corridor whenever he leaves or is on his way to his room.Most times it’s even a group of students from the same floor and he’d see them discussing different topics out in the corridor or in their rooms with the door open whenever he returns from lectures. However, today was different.There was nobody out there, opened doors, or noise of discussions being had.“Maybe they haven’t returned after leaving the Arena Hall,” Johnathan mumbled after passing the first few rooms leading up to his and not hearing a single sound that lets him know his neighbors were in their rooms either.Eventually, Johnathan got to his room and was about to unlock the door when he started hearing a lot of mumbling noise in voices not possible for his
WISH TO BE RICH HOUSEWARMING
Johnathan walked up to Bret who had the entire crowd of neighbors behind him and from the looks of things he was acting as their spokesperson.“So— Umm— sorry but what did you say your name was again?” Johnathan asked.“It’s Bret, try and remember it next time will you buddy,” Bret said and Johnathan crossed his arms.“Okay, Bret and crowd, let’s go straight to the topic. My roommate said you guys are here to congratulate me on winning the apartment. That’s what you said before forcing your way into our room so is what I just said correct or is there more here?” Johnathan asked then looked at all of them.With a smirk, Bret said “Well, saying force our way in here is a very strong word don’t you think? I personally wouldn’t use that. We were more in the line of persuaded our way in here. Yeah, persuaded, that’s the right word.” Bret looked at the others behind him to corroborate his choice of words and they all smiled and nodded in agreement, letting him know they were all on the sam

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
