WISH TO BE RICH RACHAEL’S QUESTION
The lecture Johnathan was attending finished as it was supposed to and everyone started packing and getting ready to leave.“Before any of you stand up, is there anyone here who wants to take our late coming brethren, Johnathan Cross, under their wing and show him the way forward?” Dr. Willstrum asked and all the students grimaced.One of the students raised their hand and Willstrum pointed at them.“Thank you for volunteering. Mind saying your name so that everyone knows how great a student you are?“ Wellstrum said while grinning enthusiastically.The student stood up and asked “Oh, sorry sir but I rose my hand because I don’t understand what you meant by what you just said. Take under our wing, like what does that mean?”Willstrum looked at all their faces and most of them had the same confused expression.Willstrum palmed his face and sighed exhaustively.“These kids, smart but sometimes dumb,” Willstrum said tiredly while shaking his head in disappointment and then he dropped his

Johnathan raised his right eyebrow and grimaced annoyed. He asked, “What are you asking me?”“Listen when I speak because I don’t like repeating myself. Did you and Shirley see each other today or didn’t you? It’s a simple question” Rachael said.“How is it any problem of yours if we saw each other or not?” Johnathan asked and Rachael jolted.“That means the two of you did see each other, right?”Johnathan shrugged “I never said that. I don’t know why you’re getting ahead of yourself,” he said.She frowned and crossed her arms then asked “How am I getting ahead of myself? If you’ll just answer my question instead of playing around with it then this would have been over by now. Isn’t that what you want?”Johnathan crossed his arms as well then shrugged.“I do but first you’ll have to tell me what my whereabouts and activities have to do with you. Why are you asking about me and her?” He asked.Rachael clenched her fists and pursed her lips, refusing to say anything.“Okay, I guess we'r

Rachael gasped as she covered her mouth.“Oh my gosh, who did this?!” Rachael asked as she couldn’t believe that people could do something this disgusting to a beautiful car like thisJohnathan flicked his eyes to the distance and he saw all the students passing by and minding their business and to him, it could have been any one of them.He was in his lecture for over an hour going to two so any one of them could have done it and left or gone to their own lecture and pretend as if nothing happened.The only question now is, why? Why would someone do something like that unprovoked and specifically why did they choose those derogatory words that they used to deface his car?“I’ll go find one of the security guards and ask them if they saw the person or people that did this. I’ll be right back” Rachael said then walked away to go find the closest security guard.Johnathan touched the writings with his fingertips and slid them across but none of them smeared or came off. They had used pe
WISH TO BE RICH THE TRUTH
[“Johnathan what’s wrong? You sound angry right now, did something happen?”] George asked while looking concerned.He was doing his best to speak as clearly as he could without drawing any attention to him and disrupting the class.“I said, where the hell are you? Send me your location right now!” Johnathan said while driving to the part of the campus people in George’s department usually have their lectures.[“Okay I will but try and calm down. I don’t know why you’re being so aggressive”] George said calmly then sent his location to Johnathan.Johnathan got a ping and a message which he clicked to see what George’s location was.“Wait for me outside, I have something to ask you,” Johnathan said.[“Wait for you? I’m in a lecture right now and it just started not long ago. You can’t expect me to leave just because—“] George said but Johnathan cut him off.“I said wait for me outside your lecture. I’m already close to the building and I should be seeing you within the next five minutes
WISH TO BE RICH WHAT BRADLY WANTS
George looked at Johnathan and he could tell that he had finally known the truth and so he sighed in relief.“Finally you get it. I was starting to get annoyed of being falsely accused about something as disgusting as this” George said then rested his back on the wall and started sliding down until he slid down to his ass on the floor.“Also, don’t blame Darius. Yes, both of you have your beef but he didn’t go looking for Bradly to say anything about you to him in spite. He was just there in the restroom with us and Bradly was on me and he wouldn’t stop until he got whatever information he could. Darius was just helping” George said tiredly.Johnathan looked down at him and asked “Are you sure about that?”George shrugged and said “Or maybe that’s what I like to think. I can’t think that people are all bad and anybody can change. This could have been his first step or maybe I’m wrong. Only he knows”The two of them were quiet for some seconds and George looked up at Johnathan.“So now
WISH TO BE RICH SISTERS CONFRONTATION
At the female dorm, inside Shirley’s room where she was busy with some schoolwork while waiting for when her first lecture of the day is going to start, her door was knocked aggressively.“Who is that?” Shirley asked herself with an annoyed grimace.She got up from where she studied and then went to the door to check who it was through the peephole.She saw Rachael and she noticed the angered look she had on her face.Shirley’s heartbeat picked up pace and she wondered what her sister was mad about. It hadn’t been that long since they last talked so what could it be?“What is she pissed off about? Wasn’t she in her room when we separated? Wait, did she find out about Johnathan?” Shirley asked herself then her eyes accidentally flicked to Johnathan’s old phone right there on her bed.Her heart skipped a beat when she saw it. She had completely forgotten about it.She walked over to the beg and grabbed the phone then asked “Wait, she didn’t see me with this and recognized it right?” Sh
WISH TO BE RICH FALLING APART
Shirley’s eyes fidgeted as she blinked rapidly.“What are you talking about Rachael? Me with Johnathan? How does that make any sense?” Shirley asked with a guilty look on her face.Rachael who was paying attention to all her sister’s tells lowered her head and sighed dejectedly.“So you’re going to look me right in the face and lie about this” Rachael said defeatedly.“Lie? What makes you think I’m lying about this—“ Shirley asked but Rachael cut her off when she exploded with rage.“That’s because I saw it! I was just with Johnathan and I saw his car and it matches the car that dropped you off. The same paint job and everything!” Rachael yelled and Shirley’s eyes widened as her jaw dropped.Shirley gulped and said “But you said you didn’t see the car well enough to remember what it looked like”“Well I did but I downplayed it because I didn’t think it was important,” Rachael said and Shirley tilted her head.“So you lied to me?” Shirley asked.“No, I didn’t. I said I didn’t see the c
WISH TO BE RICH OFF FOR REPAIR
Johnathan had an hour and a half before his next lecture starts so after leaving George he drove straight for the school gate.During his talk with Charles, the man who customized all three of his cars, Charles had said that he left his business card for him in the glove compartment of all three cars so that he could call at any time.While approaching the gate and operating the steering wheel with one hand, Johnathan opened the glove compartment and searched through all the documents there until he found the business card.Once at the gate, Johnathan stopped and the security guard from the day before came up to him.“It’s you again,” The security guard said before he noticed all the writings on Johnathan's car and he jolted in shock.“Who did this to this beautiful machine?” He asked.“It’s a long story and I don’t have the time to start telling it. Can I go through?” Johnathan asked.“Sure thing, just show me your Student ID—“ the security guard said but hadn’t finished when Johnath

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
