2021-06-18 03:40:12"Flight 187 departing for Flemond is ready for boarding!" a voice rang throughout the airport.
Warren knew it was his flight and as he was about to go through customs the voice on the other end said "I will wait for you at the airport, Young Master. You have a safe flight."
Warren was still speechless. He couldn't say a word, nor could he register that if what happened just now, was a dream or reality. It didn't make sense that he was now the owner of the most lucrative business and shopping district in all of Flemond.
He boarded the plane and still stared at his phone. "500 000 000 dollars has been paid into your savings account!" Even when he saw the proof, he was still doubtful. 'I will visit the bank after landing in Flemond. That's the only way I would know if this was the real thing,' he thought to himself.
After that the 4-hour trip back to Flemond felt like an eternity. Warren couldn't wait to get back.

Oblivious of the schemes that Johnathan Parker had, Warren returned to his dorm room in a cab. He thought it would be best to leave the entourage so that they may stay at the Flemond Stargaze Hotel, one of the buildings located in the Flemond Galaxy District. Although he was also the owner of that hotel, Warren didn't see the need to suddenly move to such a grand amd luxurious place, since he wanted to be low-key. He didn't want to touch a cent of the money that Johnathan Parker gave to him, nor did he want to use his facilities. Warren felt that he would become dependent on the support that Johnathan lend him and then he might as well become his puppet.When he arrived at the entrance of the dorm, he was greeted by his good friend, Samuel. Warren was ecstatic when he saw the familiar face. It's a good thing that he didn't run into either Jennifer or Lloyd first, since it would add to his dismay."So you ran away so suddenly, did you manage to sort out everything back

"Just think about this: since we're holding a raffle we could make a huge profit and buy all the food and blankets that we want without standing here like beggars," Lauren explained.It finally made sense to Warren and Samuel. Lauren was only caring about her own image and not the purpose of the fundraising. She didn't want to participate in an activity that made her reliant on people's generosity, she wanted to be the one in control."With the raffle we can sell tickets at a price of 5000 dollars. If we have a hundred participants, we could raise 500 000 dollars. The prices that those who participate in the raffle could win include a new BMW 3 series, a necklace worth 25 000 dollars and a one-day all expenses paid luxury day at the Heavenly Sky Resort, with dinner included at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Warren and Samuel looked at each other and shook their heads. Lauren was so far off topic. Her suggestion defeated the whole purpose of the fundraising

The girl was at a loss for words. She just received a phone call from the hospital telling her that her mother's hospital bill has been settled and that the payment also covered the cost for her mother's operation. She has been struggling to raise money to pay her mother's bill which amounted to 12 000 dollars. An additional 55 000 dollars was needed for the operation to remove the tumor that her mother had in her breast. She was too embarrassed to mention this to anyone, but now someone just paid covered all her costs.She looked at Warren's back as he disappeared into the horizon. She left everything at the stall and ran as quickly as her legs could carry her, after him. However, the moment he disappeared from her sight, she never saw him again. It was as if he vanished into thin air. Dejected, she returned to her stall to pack up. She reached her goal, so she didn't want to hang around any longer. Her demeanor changed after she received the phone call. She seemed as if she

After the bottom three was announced, everyone was looking forward to the top 3. The emcee cleared his throat and started his announcement."Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for. We are going to mention the top 3 groups who have raised the highest amount during this fundraiser. Get ready for it!"All the students were becoming restless. They couldn't wait to see who was top this year. All of them immediately looked towards the Literature Department's side and could see Jennifer, Lisa and Lauren standing there next to Charles Chamberlain. Everyone felt that the results were already assured. The Literature Department would take top spot."In third place, from the Engineering department, we have Emma Stewart and Jenna Jefferson. They raised a combined amount of 20 000 dollars."There were gasps all around campus. Everyone was shocked. Who would have donated such a huge amount of money? 'It's crazy to think what people do with their money,'

After she went down from the platform, Christina approached Warren. She was planning on thanking him, but after she saw so many eyes on them, she thought it would be best to leave it for later. When she stood in front of him, tears welled up in her eyes and she could only look at him with gratitude. As she was about to cry, Warren touched her hand and smiled. She was taken aback by Warren's actions and quickly retrieved her hand, however a few students already saw it."Look, Warren is trying his luck with that girl.""He doesn't have a conscience or any shame. After hearing she has 30 000 dollars, he is trying his luck with her," another student said."He is really pitiful. It's one thing to be poor, but he is so shameless that he would do something like this in public.""You could see the tears in Christina's eyes. She is obviously distressed because of what Warren just did."Every student had an opinion on what Warren just did. His intention was

"Good evening, Ma'am. A reservation for two I assume?" the receptionist asked when she saw Warren and Christina. She could see by the way Warren dressed, that he was not the one capable enough to book a table at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Yes Miss. We would like a table for two, however we didn't book in advance," Christina said with a smile. She thought that it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't book a table since she could afford the costs anyways."I'm sorry Ma'am, but if you didn't book a table in advance I cannot help you. I am working according to this list and if your name isn't on it, then I cannot help you," the receptionist said as she pointed to her tablet.Christina felt embarrassed. She really wanted to treat Warren to a meal at the fanciest restaurant in town, but now she couldn't even book a table.She look at Warren shyly and said "I'm so sorry, Mr Cole. I really wanted to treat you to dinner here, but it seems like

When Jennifer and Charles saw this scene they were left speechless. They couldn't wrap their head around it. It was clear as day that Warren had Christina didn't have a booking for a table. The receptionist even confirmed it. So why was Mr Lewis personally welcoming them into his prestigious restaurant. Charles couldn't take it any longer."Mr Lewis, good day. My name is Charles Chamberlain, the son of Christopher Chamberlain. I believe we have met."Mr Lewis looked at Charles with a frown. He was acquainted with Christopher Lewis and they often played golf together. Mr Lewis would occasionally give Christopher a few tickets to allow him entrance into the Heavenly Sky Diner if he ever wanted to come here for a meal. It seemed like Christopher didn't appreciate his hospitality, since he never attended the Heavenly Sky Diner once. He always gave his tickets to his son, because he didn't think much of Mr Lewis' sincerity."Yes, I believe we have. How ma

Warren and Christina enjoyed their meal in relative peace.'It feels good to talk to someone without getting judged,' Warren thought. What was even better for him, was the fact that Christina never once asked about where the 100 000 dollars came from that he donated to her. She felt guilty already, so she didn't want to remind Warren of the money that he lost.Since Warren didn't want to be reimbursed, Christina felt that treating him to dinner would be the next best thing. However, who would've thought that she couldn't even book a table at such a classy restaurant without Warren's aid. She felt even more embarrassed.Christina consoled herself with the fact that she would pay for the meal. In that way she would feel that she at least did something for Warren.The two of them ate and talked for more than 2 hours. When they had their fill, they went downstairs to settle the bill. Christina was worried because she didn't know if she

Three days later, Warren was discharged from the hospital. He had nowhere to go and since he lost basically everything he owned, he made his way to the Parker mansion that was located on the outskirts of Richmond. He said he didn't want anything to do with that family anymore, but that was the only safe haven he could find in that instance.Since regaining his memories of what transpired back in Flemond, Warren felt that he had no reason to keep on living. He lost the only reason, in Olivia, to keep on living, and that after he promised not to let her go. He was horrible at keeping promises and that was what killed Warren.As soon as he arrived in front of the villa, Bruce, the butler, already anticipated his arrival. Warren recalled that he asked him to keep an eye over the affairs of Johnathan Parker since he was no longer around, but he didn't expect that Bruce would be so devoted in his tasks."Master Cole. I have awaited your return. Welco

Mark and his two bodyguards, who were quite a distance away, heared his cry all too clearly. When they turned to look in the direction from which they escaped, they could see smoke rising into the air. Although they were almost five kilometers away, they could clearly see the blue fire accompanying the smoke."What is that?" he asked hid bodyguards. The female bodyguard looked at him and responded: "That is the end!"She then sat on a log that nearby. Mark urged his male bodyguard to hurry up so that the two of them could get away. The two of them didn't hesitate and ran as quickly as their legs could carry them.The female bodyguard admired the scene that she saw. That was like something out of a fairytale. Though it was dark all around her, the blue fire contrasted the dark sky in a majestic way."So this is how it ends. I guess there is no escaping your destiny. You're truly the reincarnation of King Cole," she said.

Yvonne had to stand by and hear how her husband get ridiculed like that. She thought she married a stand-up guy, someone who didn't only look good and were rich, but also a man with morals. He wasn't Warren, but he was the next big thing in line.Mark, on the other hand, was boiling with rage. He secretly dialed a number on his phone and within a few minutes his two most loyal subordinates appeared. It was the woman who Warren and Olivia met and another man. Each one of them were cultivators of an extraordinary rank."So you decided to call for backup? I guess you must really be an embarrassment of a man if you can't even fight your own battles. You are not only weak, but you can only assert your dominance on helpless women. I really pity you," Warren said. Mark didn't care anymore. He wanted all of them dead, and that's what he ordered his henchmen to do. Before they could move an inch, Warren appeared behind the man, sword in his hand and the blade on the

"I watched them go out in flames. I heard their screams for help. My father's body was on fire, but he only worried about one thing. He begged Mark to let me go. I couldn't understand why he would want that while he was literally in the depths of hell," Olivia explained. The more Warren heard, the more his anger was fueled. What on earth gave Mark the right to do something to Olivia's family like that? What has he ever done to him? "You know, as they were busy losing their lives in the most horrid way possible, Mark just stood there and laughed. How could someone be so cruel as to do something like that?" "He finally focused his attention on me and said that this was his retribution. He said that he was looking for me for a while. I couldn't understand the meaning in his words, but later he explained everything to me. He said that he fell in love with a woman. She was the best thing to ever happen to him and that he never loved anyone more than that." "The wo

Warren didn't waste any time to linger around. He had to go after Olivia. She was beyond pissed at him. He knew that he messed up big time. She seemed to be spooked by something else before she got to find out about his fling with Jamie. It's not as if he was cheating. Warren felt that he was clearly within his rights to move on, since Olivia was presumed dead by that point."Are you really going to leave now, Warren?" Jamie asked. She looked as if she was holding on to the final thread of hope. She knew that if Warren decided to leave, that thread would snap and it would sent her spiraling downwards, out of control."I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Jamie. It was never my intention to hurt you. It's just that, I can't afford to lose Olivia. I lost her to death once, and now that I have her back, I can't do it again," Warren explained. Jamie didn't understand what Warren was talking about. How could he have lost her to death if she was clearly

"Hey Olivia. What's wrong?" Warren asked worried. Olivia still stood there as if she was frozen. She couldn't move a muscle."I've had enough of this debacle. Miss Francis, if you don't have anything to say to me, I best start going," Mark said. He was about to leave when Jamie arrived. She was so happy to see Warren and her boss finally met each other."Warren, I'm so glad you can make it here today. Now you can finally meet my boss," she said. Warren looked at Mark from head to toe. Was this the man that he was supposed to meet? Who would've known the world was such a small place."Why would I want to meet this idiot?" Mark asked.Warren didn't pay any mind to either of them. He was just surprised that Mark turned out to be thee Mr Clifford. Warren wasn't so sure about going into business with them anymore."Olivia, let me get you home." Warren offered. She nodded. Warren pulled her by the hand and brought her to his car. Yvonne

"Do you have any idea where I can get ahold of this boss of yours? It has been too long now. I think it's finally time we meet," Warren said.Jamie nodded. She thought that the two of them would never get to meet since they kept postponing it. It wasn't a good thing especially since they were entering in a deal that would put their company on the map and for that to happen, they needed the assistance of such a major company as Galaxy Tech Lane."I will arrange that he comes to the office today or tomorrow. Please make sure that you are present for that. I will come along since I am was partially the reason why we sealed the deal," Jamie teased him as she winked playfully. Warren couldn't disagree with that since that was really the case. If she wasn't such a beautiful secretary, it would've taken a lot more to change Warren's mind to get involved with such a small company."After that, the two of us can maybe go for a drink if you like," Jamie flirted.

Christina was steadfast in her mission not to let Warren know what really happened. Warren was adamant, but she didn't give anything up. It took Olivia to finally convince him to let it go. Warren and Olivia left Christina so that she could rest further. He was still unsatisfied with how things ended, but he decided to let it go for the moment. He didn't want to add anymore to her stress.The two of them drove in silence back home. Once he made it back, he summoned Neo to meet him in his study. He told Neo the jest of things so that he roughly had an idea of what was going on."So your mission is to find out who the culprit behind all of this is. I have been through enough already. I can't let anything happen to Christina. She isn't out of danger yet. And as long as there are people gunning for her life, I can't rest in peace. Just make sure Olivia doesn't find out about any of this," Warren said. Neo nodded. This was the first big task Warren gave to him and he knew t

"How did it go?" Olivia asked once Warren returned home. She was always bad with hiding her facial expressions, so the worries was written all over her face."I gave them my number and address so that they may contact me in case there are any developments. For now, let's just hope she makes it," Warren said. Neither one of them could get something into their stomach that night. They were sick with worry.The phone, that Warren has been staring at for most of the day, suddenly started to ring. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was an unknown number, but it was from a landline. Warren didn't waste any time and answered immediately."Mr Cole. You left your number with us earlier in case something happened. There is good news, the young missus just woke up and she's alright. I know it's too soon to say, but she hasn't suffered any long term damage." the doctor explained. The sigh of relief Warren let out, was audible through the phone
