Marcus Eastwood is a known pauper of Kingston University, he feeds on money he earns from running other people's errand.In the top university of Kingston, a man who wears ragged clothes and overused bag pack is surely him, everyone made fun of him as he is considered inferior in terms of social class. However, in physicality, he's far better than those rich second generation who bullies him, a reason he's been envied of despite being poor, it is a quality that hooks girls attention that they cannot.But money is everything for these people so they can only feed on glimpse of his facial value but hug the thighs of wealthy boys because money is much important for them.In a bench located in the hallway seats Marcus, directly looking at his phone as it rings indicating someone's call.He received it."Hey pauper, come and deliver a package for me to Warren!" A voice full of arrogance welcomed, Chris, one of the bullies but gives him money for working on his matters.
"H-hailey?"Warren flashed an evil smile and put his arms on his shoulder, "Did I told you to come in? or you badly want to see your Auntie?"Marcus's face was red out of anger that he immediately punched Warren's face. "You are not my f*****g father, you bastard!" He shouted at his face.Shocked and worried, Hailey went to Warren's side and look at his bruised face, she then looked up to Marcus and slapped him harshly."You fucking poor why did you punched him?!" She shouted back.Marcus felt shocked and broken after hearing his beloved defending another man against him."How could you do this Hailey?" He cried.Hailey felt guilty but wiped it quickly."Don't you know that I'm just playing with you? I only went out with you because I pity you! now you're meddling with my business? then we're now strangers! I broke up with you!" She finished their relationship instantly and even blamed him.He couldn't help but to wipe his tears and flash a sarcast
Marcus being a poor errand runner he is, doesn't really look down on number only callers as it may bring him money, so he decided to pick up the call."Hello?" He asked politely."Hello, is this Mr. Marcus Eastwood?" A low and authoritative voice answered.Marcus couldn't think of who and what the man needs from him since he's only known inside the campus and a complete stranger outside, but he's curious."Yes, who are you?" He asked confusedly."I am Darwin Charles, the spokesperson of the Eastwood family in Kingston City, Mr. Marcus, your father wants to contact you for urgent family matters, I am sorry if it causes you shock but he said he will explain to you if you come to the address I will send you." Darwin said straight, not wasting time for pauses.He was shocked and confused as to what is happening, he was raised by his aunt and uncle until 18 but they died from a car accident which lead him broke, fortunately he was smart enought to work and st
At rose cafe,The series of rolls royce stopped, Darwin then went outside the car and contacted Marcus.At second ring, he picked up the call."Hello Mr. Darwin, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, please wait I will hurry up!" Marcus said apologetic.Darwin was surprised at how humble and kind Marcus is, "No worries Mr. Marcus, I'm your servant, I can wait even for many hours."Turned out, Marcus was more surprised at Darwin's remark, how rich is his father exactly?Since the Rose Cafe is only five minutes away from the university, he speed up completely and reached it at four.Darwin saw him riding a humble bicycle which made him admire the young master, he lead the whole body of securities and bend their bodies ninety degrees.Marcus was startled and immediately glanced at the cafe, only few customers are inside but he was terrified when he saw cameras pointed at his direction."Let's go now Mr. Da
"Marcus?" Nathan asked after seconds of silence."Nathan? Nathan? I can't hear you properly, I'm currently busy I'll call you later!" Not letting the other party respond, he immediately hanged up the call.Nathan felt weird in his heart as he thinks Marcus is hiding something from him, but didn't bother to think more and instead, went back to his ugly face because of his girlfriend.The four ate and drink their coffees, soon came back to the dormitory and parted ways.Marcus turned his phone to airplane mode for two reasons, first is to avoid Nathan and second, because he's truly flying out to his father's city.As soon as the series of Rolls Royce stopped at the airport entrance, it quickly attracted the attention of most people. It seems like a celebrity who's taking a trip to other country for concert or projects outside since the people crowded the entrance in aim to see the wealthy master coming out of the Rolls Royce.
A man in his fifties was sitting on a throne like chair, holding a book named Panic.He's my father."D-dad?" I said stuttering.He nodded, tear starting to form in his eyes. he put the book down and ran to embrace me.It felt warm, I was suddenly emotional, first time having someone to embrace, knowing my father for the first time in my 23 years of existence."W-why did you leave me? w-who, where is my mother?" I asked hurriedly.A faint smile appeared in his lips."I am Marcos Eastwood, your father and your mother.. your mother is dead." He avoided my eyes as if he's afraid as he announced my mother dead."How did she die?" I asked, conscious and worried.He took a deep breath and motioned the seat beside his chair earlier.As we took seat, he closed his eyes for a while, probably thinking or reminiscing I guess."Amelia Warner, she's your mother." He finally said.Belo
At the Kingston University, a large crowd gathered in the main hall, mainly because of a big tarpaulin posted in the middle of the building."Congratulations, Marcus Eastwood for bagging a scholarship to Cambridge University." It earned a big commotion to the students."What? that pauper got into Cambridge?""How lucky for that loser! even my dad can't get me into there!""He's redeemed his unluckiest day today, what a lucky guy."Warren Jr. and Hailey who just came to the university hopped out of their Ferrari, some students come to meet them and passed the news."Hailey! your pauper ex-boyfriend is now in Cambridge!" The girl exclaimed, looking at Hailey with a boasting look.Although boys worship her as a goddess, half of the girls population hates her for being to much attention to the boys.The news shocked Hailey who's embraced by Warren just outside the car, "What????""Yeah! He'll just come back here in graduation I think!" The g
"W-what?" The old man was confused to what he said, sweating coldly and still knealing.A bunch of buffed men appeared from the outside and took him out, he have no choice other than to cry in misery, but while being taken he was allowed to call his son."Father did you made it?" An excited voice welcomed the line."You f******g moron offended a young master! come to the house and I will punish you!" The Senior said."What? I didn't offend anyone! I just want to take revenge on that shit Marcus!" He exclaimed angrily.Before he utter another word, the call was cut off by the security."Mr. Darwin officially expelled you from his confidants, all your wealth will be transferred to him as it was all stolen from his company." the man said.It was true, The Hegar family was a normal family who rose after being supported by Darwin, whom he's friends with since childhood.Warren Sr. didn't expect that his friend isn't just his boss but his friend is als

Hex and Dex was shivering in fear the whole time they were waiting that they completely forgot that they have guns with them.Marcus was whistling, he didn't call his backup first to make them shocked later, he's about to drop a bomb after all, and it will surely drift the allies apart.He couldn't wait to watch.The Goofers and Marcos was still at home, they haven't heard from Marcus for already almost an hour."Shouldn't we go now? Marcus might get ambushed or what!" Wilma panickingly asked."I think so too." Roland agreed.Marcos was in deep thoughts, he figured that Marcus might encounter bad happenings, he's less experienced after all, intelligence and strength doesn't always win."Okay, let's go!" Marcos immediately stood up and lead the way.At that moment, Henry and Harry Warner arrived at the abandoned building, Jasper Reed also arrived anxiously.They rushed inside making again a noise of the rusty metal door.Marcus grabbed his phone and texted an unknown number."It's your
Marcos drove furiously to the boundary of Nightlock and Housland, he didn't care about the traffic regulations as if was already midnight after all, few cars are only left on the road.Originally, it would take him two hours to get there but he only took thirty minutes since there was no traffic.He reached the dark and houseless area where a big abandoned factory lie, from below, he could see the a light that was turned on in the second floor.He didn't wasted more time as he walked fast to the entrance, he pushed the rusty steel door that creates a loud screeching noise, Hex and Dex immediately knew he arrived.Marcus's footsteps emanated, Hex and Dex felt relieved as he did not bring other people, it was just a lie when they said they monitor everything after all.The footsteps became louder and louder as he nears, the twins became excited, it has been spreading that Marcus is strong, they wanted to take him down and became the new kings of the country.Beatrice was sitting on the c
Marcus woke up feeling dizzy, the first thing he saw was the black ceiling of his room, he sat on the side of his bed and remembered what happened.From the start until Beatrice was kidnapped, he also remembered that he was injected a sleeping dose to calm him.He swiftly stood up and went outside, it was still dark outside, he glanced at the clock and saw it was already 12:30 am."Dad! I need to find Beatrice! please help me." He said as soon as he saw Marcos."Calm down son." Marcos calmly said, deep inside, he was nervous too, it's already four hours."Marcos, We've found her." A woman around his father's age came, he suddenly realized that it was Wilma Goofer! behind her was Roland.They were holding a laptop, they placed it in the counter top, Marcus remembered that they were said to be hackers according to Herbert Hill."Your hackers can't do anything, Beatrice was brought to a signal less area in between Housland and Nightlock, those bastards, that's just near our house." Wilma
Hearing Marcus's final answer, Henry was disappointed, he missed his smartest and strongest grandson.He will have to face him with his father then."Alright, happy birthday Marcus." Henry said before walking to the exit, everyone in the Warner and Reed followed him with a victorious smile on their faces, their wealth were saved thankfully.Everyone remained silent as they watch them leave.Marcos felt relieved, he looked at his son and smiled, he felt good that his son chose him than the Warner's and their wealth."Thank you." He mouthed.After few minutes of awkward silence, the host took the stage again to regain the liveliness."It's not too late to dance isn't it? The dance floor will be opened for the last part of the celebration! feel free also to eat again!" The noise came back together with the mellow music to bring back the live atmosphere.Every businessmen and women stood up and found their chances to improve their business, trying to grab investors.Some young ladies wer
Marcos' statement earned gasps from the guests, it seemed like a war is really about to broke out, the long resting rivalry between the three families is about to come back."Marcos, why are you so grumpy? I'm not here for you after all, I am here to celebrate my grandson's birthday." Henry Warner said.No one even from the guests believed it, knowing that it is not hidden that Marcos was involved in the death of Drix Reed and Amelia Warner, no father's will be able to forgot like it was nothing."Marcus, aren't you going to pay respect to your mother's family?" Henry asked sarcastically.Marcus walked towards their direction and bowed slightly, "Welcome Grandpa, but I didn't invited you."His straightforwardness made the Reed's and Warner embarrassed, they were just branded as gatecrashers in public."Your father did, right Marcos?" Henry's tone was telling him to agree.Marcos just nodded, he thought it will be better to settle it in public than cr
At the same time Marcus was celebrating his birthday, a video of him playing the piano and singing became a huge social media sensation, everyone was crazy looking for his identity, his voice was on par or even better with known singers that made everyone gushing over his identity.Some of his friends recognized him but was doubting wether it was really him or just a lookalike, as far as they remember, Marcus was not someone who can afford to eat at such restaurants, they opted on keeping their mouths shut to avoid embarrassment if ever it was not Marcus.Marcus stepped out of the car and was blinded by the flashed of cameras for a while, when it calmed, the medias started bombarding him with questions next."Mr. Eastwood, Why did it took twenty three years for you to reveal your identity to the public?""Sir, how much is the money spent on your birthday party?""Mr. Eastwood, is that a custom design suit by the famous brand booralro?" "Mr. Eastwood, ar
The day after, Marcos formally started giving out invitations, it was not announced publicly but the impact of the news made every rich family in chaos, others finding their way to get their hands to the limited invitations.Marcus told his father to limit it for atleast 50 families since he was insisting a grand celebration with atleast 100 families.Marcos agreed halfheartedly, it is the time for him to reveal his son and be proud of him after all and he's restricting him, Marcus has never been fond of too much crowd.The Benilde received the invitation, Antonio Benilde was naturally happy that they were still acknowledged despite losing communication, he was amazed at Marcus's ability to remember those who gets on his good side.The Hill also received out of the fifty other families, naturally they are automatically included, Abby Hill found herself contemplating whether to go too or not, She can't afford to see Marcus with other girls though but in the end,
"Isn't it obvious?" The staff was stunned and embarrassed, she could only curse herself for being unprofessional, she thought that Marcus isn't that strict and so she tried to flirt with him."Oh sorry sir! Let me guide you to your table then?"She didn't waited for the two to response and walked ahead without looking back, she can imagine them being bad tripped about her, she can't afford to get called out or worst get fired.Since the restaurant was at the highest floor of the building, the table he reserved was the one beside the glass wall, the moment they reached it, Beatrice couldn't help but get amazed."Wow." She muttered."Do you like the view?" Marcus asked.She nodded and continued staring at the city lights, the cars on the road down looks like toys and it was adorable."I like my view more." Marcus said that made her look at him, she found him looking at her.She blushed immediately after realizing what does he mean.Marcus
