["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
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
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
For those who enjoyed Anthony’s backstory and would like to follow it, The Midnight Heir is a book of its own. It follows Anthony’s adventures up until the Summit and beyond that.What was given here is just the first 22 chapters of a book with more than 300 chapters so you guys just barely scratched the surface. Please go check out that book if you find Anthony’s story and character interesting. I wrote that book before Wish To Be Rich so you can see the difference in writing skill and quality— not to say that it doesn’t have quality cause it does.I’ve said what I want to say so for now, this is goodbye from Johnathan Cross and the crew. If this book gets the love it deserves then I’ll be back to continue with a new volume. I’ve already mapped out everything that’s going to take place. There’ll be higher stakes, cross-overs, more world-building, interesting relationships, and all that jazz.I promise that future volumes will be bigger but that’s only if the book gets traction.Befor
It was a normal afternoon at Primrose High school and a student just burst into class 6-A, waving the screen of his phone in front of everyone and yelling… "The admission letters have been sent and I got into Wellstone College, what about you guys?!" Angered by the interruption, the teacher turned around and yelled "Hey, don't you see that I'm teaching right—" However, the other students didn't allow the teacher to finish as they all rushed to grab their phones and started checking their emails, hopeful for good news. "I got in! I got into High Rise University!" yelled a student, standing on his desk and pumping his fists into the air. "I got into Stellar Prep Academy!" "Hurry and check yours too, what college did you get into?!" All the students yelled at the top of their lungs and after they all finished celebrating, they looked at an empty desk in the center of the classroom. Immediately, their faces grimaced with disgust. "What about that loser Johnathan Cross? Who knows w
"Who the hell is that?!" "Who thinks they can come in like this without being invited?!"The other students in Molly's room complained after Johnathan interrupted them and they stopped what they were doing to focus on him.When they all realized that it was him, their faces quickly changed to that of disgust."Look who is it""What is the human trash doing here?!"They all sneered at Johnathan as they separated to go find their clothes to wear.While everyone wore their clothes, something drew their attention which put smiles and laughs on their faces.What they found amusing was that although they had stopped, Molly and Bradly were still going at it like nothing was happening. They were enjoying themselves too much to care.Johnathan who could see that everyone else at least had the decency to stop when he came in got angry at his girlfriend and best friend.Johnathan rushed to the bed where those two were, grabbed Molly's hand aggressively, and then pulled her off of Bradly."What
"It's a heart disease and I only have three months but seeing you act this way just makes me feel like I could die right now" Johnathan lowered his head in grief.He was hoping that Molly would go back to acting like she used to. She used to be very caring but ever since he became friends with Bradly, Molly started acting increasingly distant.Now he knows why."Molly please, I know this looks bad but it's not too late for us. I can still forgive you and act like I didn't see any of this—" Johnathan said but was cut off mid-sentence."Good, now you can stop bothering me all the time. Just die so that I can finally have some peace!" Molly said, shocking Johnathan to his core.Johnathan looked at her and for the first time, he truly couldn't recognize the girl he fell head over heels for two years ago."Molly, don't you think that's a bit harsh? You can at least show pity for his illness?" Molly's roommate spoke and everyone's eyes immediately went to her.Annoyed, Molly approached her
"Did you just say, Young Master?" Johnathan mumbledJohnathan's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked behind him to see if Abraham could be talking to someone standing behind him. However, he was the only one there"Wait, you're talking about me? You're calling me young master?" Johnathan asked, completely stumped.Abraham raised his head "Yes Young Master Cross. You're the only one I'm talking to in this room"Johnathan couldn't believe what he was hearing and so he started to laugh, confusing all those around him."I knew something strange was off when I woke up to all of this. Tell me Abraham or whatever your name is, did Bradly put you up to this? Was it him or some other dirtbag from school?" Johnathan asked.Abraham grimaced in confusion "Bradly? Who in the world is Bradly, young master?"Johnathan got angry and he leaned closer, almost ripping the drip connected to his arm."Don't play dumb with me. I'm talking about Bradly Silver of the Silver group! The most popular guy in sch
