A Trillionaire in University 8. The great downfall of Penelope Westwood
Penelope submitted the assignment on the teacher’s table with a sugary smile. “I worked really hard on them. I even stayed up all night, burning the midnight candles,” she said.Oh boy, this won’t end well, I thought to myself as I stifled my laughter. I had planted the bomb and installed a timer. Now, I would wait for it to go ba boom! The teacher she had submitted her books to was Mr. Tesfaye. He was the strictest and oldest in the entire school. Rumor even had it that he had been teaching during the time of the dinosaurs and cavemen. The Terra’s and Penelope’s of the world had nothing on him. He could not be taken in by her false compliments and deceitful remarks.As he flipped through the pages of her book, the white hair on his eyebrows furrowed. The entire class was watching closely. As the writer, I knew poor Mr Tesfaye would have such a wonderful and magnificent time figuring it out. Just in case you missed it, dear reader, I was being ironic!"What is this rubbish?" His voic

Chapter 9: The start of my meteoric rise.The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Penelope was nowhere to be found, heard or feared. For two whole weeks, I had peace of mind. Everyone did. Dare I say, we actually enjoyed being in school. We could walk up and down the hallways without being afraid. Ah, the sweet serenity of a world without her constant presence looming over us like a dark cloud. No longer were we subjected to her petty insults and cruel taunts. No longer did we cower in fear at the mere mention of her name. Her minions had scattered like mice because they no longer wanted to be associated with her. It was a sight to behold indeed, watching them scurry away in search of a new alpha to follow. My tutoring business was still booming so I had nothing to worry about. On a day she was supposed to still be suspended, Penelope suddenly showed up in front me. I would be lying if I said I didn’t see that coming. I knew she would confront and try to bring me down with

Chapter 10: Let's play a game, David.Penelope was banished to the losers’ corner by her former fans. They said she no longer deserved to seat there. These were the same people who had once worshipped Penelope as their queen, hanging on her every word and deed. And now, they were casting her aside without a second thought, relegating her to the role of outcast. Personally, I think the division into different corners is so messed up. Who decided who belonged where, and based on what criteria? It seemed absurd to me that such labels could carry so much weight in the minds of teenagers. They invited me to join them in the winners’ corner but I declined. I later realized that maybe I should have agreed because I found myself seated around Penelope. At least David was still by my side, I thought to myself.David and I had started dating. Boyfriend and girlfriend, as you might call it. I had grown really fond of him. As you might expect, teenage romance is as unpredictable as a squirrel on

Just for a second, I will let you in on what goes on inside the twisted mind of Jessica Raye. Some types of pain refuse to fade into oblivion. No money in the world can heal it. And I know because I have thrown stacks of cash and bars of gold at it, and it's still there, mocking me. Would it actually be easier to just build a Time Machine?Ever wished you could rewind time, like in those sci-fi movies? I do. I wish I could go back in time and get my family out of the house before the damn fire started. October 11, 2019—that’s the date I would punch in. Little me should have been bold enough to save my dad before he fainted and went into the coma.My mom and my big brother, Jason were sitting in the doctor’s office. My sister, Laura and I were not allowed in because apparently, they were discussing grown up business. But I have never

Chapter thirteen: Wounds and WarriorsDeath, as they say, is a part of the circle of life. Whoever is born will some day die, unless, of course, you're some sort of alien who snuck into earth or a creature of the night like a vampire. But alas, life isn't a Hollywood fantasy movie with mythical beings and eternal youth. In the real world, death is a reality that we must face, just as I did when my father passed away. Despite clinging to hope for his recovery, the harsh truth eventually settled in—he was gone.The world had moved on and nobody was waiting for my family to grief this great loss. Life pushed on, dragging us along with it, like debris caught in a swift current. Despite the heaviness in my heart, I knew I had to return to school. It was nearing the end of freshman year, and there were academic responsibilities waiting for me.I was by my locker when David, my ex rushed towards and offered to carry my backpack. I felt a bit of irritation. "My dad may have died, but my han

Chapter fourteen: Prom: The Good, the Bad, and the UglyAt school, the promenade dance was just a month away. You might know it as prom, as it's commonly called by American teens. I was now fifteen years old. Junior prom, that mystical evening where awkward teenagers wear their finest attire and attempt to swim the dangerous waters of romance without tripping over their own feet. It's a night filled with glitter, drama, and enough teenage angst to power a small city.The school transforms into a magical wonderland, complete with twinkling lights, cheesy decorations, and a DJ who thinks he's the next big thing on the music scene. As the students awkwardly sway to the beat, trying to remember the steps they learned in P.E. class, the air is thick with the scent of hairspray and teenage hormones.Meanwhile, the drama before junior prom unfolds like a poorly written soap opera. Will Terra finally ask Chad to dance, or will she spend the night sulking in the corner because he asked Stacy i
Last Updated : 2024-10-29A Trillionaire in University 15. How I met the rude elevator jerk.
When I was a little younger, I had this crystal-clear vision of who I wanted to become in life. And let me tell you, dear reader, having a clear goal in mind is like having a treasure map to your dreams. I'm sure you've got some dreams of your own, some lofty aspirations you're chasing after. But hey, if you're not aiming to be as fabulous as me, that's totally cool too. I'm not here to twist your arm or anything. If my story ain't your cup of tea, feel free to walk on by. You do you, honey! Ignore my ramblings if you so choose. It's your loss, really!Now, when it comes to your vision board, ditch the clichés like magazine cutouts of private jets and diamond-encrusted mansions. Let's keep it real and achievable, shall we? Think along the lines of learning a new skill, starting that side hustle or getting a part time job. The world is yours for the taking, if only you dare to seize it.As for little Jessica, she had one particular goal she would kill for. Little me would have walked f
Last Updated : 2024-10-29A Trillionaire in University 16. On the wrong side of the law.
Chapter sixteen: On the wrong side of the law.As I entered the waiting room, I was met with a scene of chaos. Contestants, like me, were scattered around, their faces twisted with frustration and anger. Their inventions had also been stolen. The poor overworked secretary was trying to calm us down as we demanded to speak to the management. I could almost hear her inner thoughts: "I don't get paid enough for this shit," she must have been thinking, as she dealt with one disgruntled inventor after another.I was already so stressed and tired of being angry. Sitting on an iron chair, I let out a loud yawn.“You must be Jessica Raye Kardashian, the winner of this competition,” the girl beside me said. She had a peculiar accent, probably from Australia. She also had a special aura that I can’t quite describe."I'm Jessica Raye," I replied with a tired smile. "And as for the competition, it seems more like a scam at this point, doesn't it?""Yeah, it’s a fraud," she replied with a sigh. "I

A Trillionaire in University 46. My husband!
Chapter forty sixThere was one feeling I loved more than anything in the world. It was a feeling I cherished above all others, that I would do anything to hold onto. No, it wasn't the joy of winning the lottery (though that would be nice). It wasn't the thrill of skydiving or bungee jumping (let's be honest, that's more like heart-stopping terror than love). It wasn't even the satisfaction of finding the last slice of pizza in the fridge at midnight (although that's pretty high up on the list).It was the feeling of being truly understood. The feeling of being seen, not just for the mask I wore or the role I played, but for the person I was at my core. To have someone look into my eyes and see the essence of who I am, to hear my words and understand the thoughts and emotions behind them, that was a feeling unlike any other.I only felt that way in the arms of Scott Sanders, my husband. I felt truly alive, truly connected, as if I had found my place in the universe. After a long day a
A Trillionaire in University 45. Threats and Power
Chapter forty five: Threats and PowerAs the morning light streamed through the curtains, I slowly opened my eyes to the sight of two warm, captivating brown eyes fixed on me with unabashed adoration. It was Scott, my beloved, greeting me with a tender smile."Good morning, beautiful," he greeted with affection.I chuckled lightly. "Have you been staring at me again, mister?" I teased, the corners of my lips lifting into a playful smile."How did God create a woman so perfect in every way?" he mused, his fingers tracing a delicate path along my right cheek."I guess we'll never know," I replied, meeting his gaze with a playful wink, knowing that in his eyes, I was indeed perfect.As Scott leaned in, his lips poised to meet mine in a tender morning kiss, I playfully swerved away. With a giggle, I swiftly pulled the sheets up, covering myself completely. "Oh, no you don't," I exclaimed, my laughter bubbling up as I hid beneath the cozy fortress."Come on, don't hide from me," he tease
A Trillionaire in University 44. The first time
⚠️ Warning: This is for readers 18+Back in my house, as I slipped out of my clothes and into the soft silk of my nightdress, my mind kept circling back to that tense encounter with Scott earlier in his office. It was the first time I had seen that side of him—assertive, calculating, and unyielding. And strangely, it ignited a fire within me that I hadn't expected. As much as I wanted to resist and stick to the marriage contract, I found myself drawn to the raw power he exuded, the way his eyes gleamed with intensity. I realized there was a side to Scott I had never explored, a side that awakened desires I never knew existed. And as I stood there in the dim glow of my bedroom, bathed in the soft light of the moon, I couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted more. I wanted his touch to linger on my skin and ignite a hunger that burned deep within me. I craved the feel of his hands, the heat of his body pressed against mine. It was intoxicating, irresistible.But as much as I yearned fo
A Trillionaire in University 43.1 Who is Laura?
Part 2: Who is Laura?Once upon a time, Laura had been a young and ambitious teenage girl with a thirst for adventure. She was always a thrill-seeker, looking for excitement in all the wrong places. She met Big Tony, the notorious leader of a small-time gang, at a rundown bar on the outskirts of town. Despite his rough exterior, there was something charming about Tony that drew Laura to him like a moth to a flame. They quickly fell into a passionate whirlwind romance, fueled by adrenaline and the promise of a life less ordinary. They were partners in crime, planning heists and pulling off daring robberies across the city.The infamous robbery that sealed their fate was at the city's most prestigious jewelry store. Laura and Tony orchestrated an elaborate plan to steal a collection of priceless diamonds. This diamond was not just any gem; it was rumored to be a priceless heirloom with significant monetary value. With Laura's cunning and Tony's muscle, they successfully executed the he
A Trillionaire in University 43. The tattoo studio
Chapter forty three: The tattoo studio.Scott took a u-turn at a very familiar street. At the end of road, I saw a neon sign looming ahead. It was the tattoo studio where I had asked Scott to marry me."Why are we here?" I asked."Just follow my lead," he replied cryptically.We parked in front of the studio, the neon sign casting an ethereal glow over the pavement. Stepping out of the car, I followed Scott as he strode purposefully towards the entrance. "Hey, boss," they greeted him.Butch, the tattoo artist, a burly man with a bushy beard, looked up from his workbench and greeted us with a nod."Back so soon with the wifey?" he asked, his tone gruff yet friendly.Scott flashed him a wry grin. "I'm not here for tattoos this time," he said, motioning towards me.He took me to his inner office. The walls were adorned with an eclectic collection of artwork, dominated by nude, obscene paintings of women in provocative poses. The scent of rich tobacco cigarettes hung heavy in the air, min
A Trillionaire in University 42. Hear my truth.
Chapter forty two: Hear my truth.I could not risk helping a wanted criminal with a heist. The only thing I had been stealing those days were hearts – metaphorically, of course. Need I mention that I'm too pretty to go to jail – and far too fabulous for a life of crime. I knew for sure that I was not cut out for life behind bars? I mean, orange may be the new black, but it's definitely not my color, darling. Plus, have you seen the food they serve in prison?On a more serious note, there I was, a successful CEO with everything to lose, being blackmailed by my own sister, a fugitive wanted by the FBI. It was like something out of a twisted crime thriller, only this was my reality. I had worked too hard to build my reputation and my empire from the ground up to throw it all away for a daring heist. I had clawed my way to the top, overcoming countless obstacles and naysayers along the way, and I wasn't about to let my sister's reckless antics derail my hard-earned success.No, I had to t
A Trillionaire in University 41. The secret is out
Chapter forty one: The secret is out"Laura, what's going on? How are you?"She didn't reply. Instead, she offered me a tight-lipped smile, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for something. "Look at this huge ass office for only you. It's way bigger than the tiny apartment we grew up in. Jason, mom, dad, you and me all squeezed together. Do you remember that excuse for a home we lived in?" She said with a bitter laugh."You look... different," I simply stated."Really? Well, not much has changed for me," she said as she sat on my table, instead of the chair like a normal person. "I got a few tattoos, robbed a few banks, got a nipples piercing, pulled some heists, got arrested and sentenced, escaped from prison, died my hair green, robbed a jewelry store, stole some diamonds but I'm still not as rich as you. I still don't got the shit that you do. Life works in twisted ways, right?"My eyes widened in disbelief as Laura casually recounted her wild exploits as if it was so
A Trillionaire in University 40. Why and what ifs...
Chapter forty: Why and what ifs...There are certain random thoughts that occupy my mind for no apparent reason. Like, seriously, why is the sky blue? Did someone spill a giant bottle of blue paint up there, and now it's just stuck like that? Or maybe it's just Mother Nature's way of saying, "Hey, I like blue, let's make the sky match my favorite color!" And what if the sky decided to change colors one day? Would we all freak out and think the world was ending?The same way, my mind sometimes veers towards darker thoughts. Like why did my sister, Laura, pack her bags and leave us in the dust just for a silly little boyfriend? Was he really worth abandoning her family for? Would she ever come back? Was she even alive or dead? How was she doing?The last time I heard from her was when she sent me a postcard from Greece. People said that she had turned to the life of crime but I refused to believe. She was my sister, my own blood after all. But I saw her face on the FBI's most wanted per
A Trillionaire in University 39. Wedding day: will she or won't she?
Chapter thirty nine: Wedding day: will she or won't she?On the morning of the wedding, I was already bustling about my room, surrounded by a whirlwind of activity. My hired bridesmaids were buzzing around me, making final adjustments to my dress and ensuring every detail was perfect for the big day.Just as I was about to take a moment to myself, there was a knock on the door. Startled, I turned to see David standing in the doorway, looking both nervous and determined."David? What are you doing here?" I asked, my heart racing with a mix of surprise and apprehension."I need to talk to you, Jessie," said David, his voice urgent."Come in," I said finally, stepping aside to let him enter.I glanced around at the bridesmaids, silently indicating that I needed a moment alone with David. They nodded understandingly and left the room, closing the door behind them.Alone now, I faced him with my emotions guarded. "This isn't really the best time, David. I'm getting married today.""I know,
