Avery was shocked to see that the rich guy everyone is talking about is her savior!For a moment, she thought of running away instead of treating a rich guy in a third rate restaurant, which only can she afford.If she uses all her earning, it will just reach a second rate restaurant, not even close to his standards!Marcus saw the look of confusion in her face and realized she must be thinking of how she will be able to treat him in a fancy restaurant."Where to?" Marcus asked.Avery became speechless since she's having thoughts on where to treat this rich guy a meal!"Uhh where do you want?" She asked nervously."Topville cuisine serves the best in Kingston!" He said with a smile.What? topville, I can never afford a single rice from that cuisine! she shockingly thought.Marcus softly chuckled and glanced at her looking crumpled nervous face, "I'm kidding! it's your treat so anywhere will do!"She felt like a heavy feeling suddenly disa
Marcus knew Avery as a shy girl not until today, she saw a different version of her, Avery Gray is full of confidence standing in front of his ex-girlfriend who's searching for him knowing he's her ex-boyfriend.Seeing Avery fiercely fending off his ex-girlfriend, he couldn't help but admire her but felt ashamed for not facing his enemy.He's naturally mad at Hailey for being so gold digger even after she lost her bully benefactor, he realized that she won't stop until she saw him and realized the gold she lost.It will surely be a big slap to her knowing that the person she's searching and wanting to use against his ex-boyfriend is his ex-boyfriend himself!That moment, Marcus decided to step outside the car, with mask and shades on.Everyone who's watching was anticipating the young man's look, the moment he walked out of the car starts the talking."Oh God! he's really a hottie!""Look at that back profile! that'
It has been days since Hailey Morgan found out about his true identity, messages and calls from her flooded his phone but none of it was actually read or answered by him, instead, he blocked her number.Today is the graduation, a sure collision of the two exes were bound to happen and he couldn't prevent himself get annoyed."Hailey is such a gold digger! she just want to hug my thighs like how she exchanged me with that Warren for money!" He angrily thought.That moment, a ring from the door bell broke the silence of him looking at the mirror and admiring his look, in a graduation attire.The screen flashed a girl widely smiling, "Young master, It's Regine, I was asked to send your breakfast before you go to your graduation!" He was hungry too so he went to the door, opened it, and smiled at the girl in front of him holding a pushable tray with his too much to see breakfast like usual.He reminded himself again to tell them not to serve too m
When everyone finally sighed relief and expects that the program is ending, even Marcus and his father wanted to go home already and celebrate, a girl grabbed everyone's attention by slapping Marcus.The amphitheater turned silent in expectance to a show Hailey Morgan wants to present.Marcus didn't expect Hailey to be this shameless after being put to shame just yesterday, and her she is today creating a show in front of thousands of students and parents."Marcus Eastwood! I can't lose you but if you insist on rejecting me continuously might as well take my life now in front of the thousand witnesses!" She angrily said.Everyone was confused, isn't Hailey the one who dumped Marcus Eastwood for a man with wealth?"You! you all witness how ruthless this man to see me kill myself!" She then pointed at everyone, trying to act all pitiful.Truth is she can't kill herself, she's a greedy material girl who will do anything to rise
Marcus Eastwood and Marcos Eastwood flew away from Kingston the moment they finished the graduation ceremony, Marcus originally planned to ask his father for a few more days to stay and bid goodbye to his hometown for his whole twenty three years of living, but Hailey broke his will to stay even more, so he just went with his father to the airport.A few people were curious about how much did he won in the lottery until they found out the he rode a Lamborghini, they were shocked!Marcus Eastwood really catched luck, he got a scholarship in Cambridge, he found his biological father, and he became nouveau riche riding a Lamborghini, could he won a hundred million dollars? Nathan and Franc can't be anymore happy for their friend, he's got a long way to be in this place today, he's naturally being rewarded so they are very proud.The low roar of the engine was heard loudly that sent everyone in awe, it's really amazing to see a Lamborghini for t
Marcus woke up to the rings of his phone from the bedside table, the moment he opened his eyes welcomed a black luxurious room, it's his room.The hangover was still felt in his system as he only slept for two hours after coming home at Queensland.He checked his phone and saw his friends calling in their group chat, he answered it quickly."Marcus! Why haven't you told us uncle Martin is not your real father?" Nathan asked."But still, we're happy for you! imagine graduating, winning the lottery and finding your real father at the same time? man you're feeling lucky now!" Franc happily added.He smiled at the two's statements."Nathan I only met him a week ago, he found me and thank you, let's have a celebration next time!" Marcus told the two."What next time? come on don't be lazy and get off the bed!" Franc shouted, it's always been their habit to wake up eachothers in times of needs.Nathan laughed at
In the heart of Maryland, the events place owned by Thayers were booming and shouting with pride.The Thayers wanted to show off their wealth to the public and the media.A parade of different luxury cars was a scene to behold outside, one by one, the guests ramp on the red carpet with their heads high up to the crowd of media.The media then was going crazy with lots of personalities attending the seventieth birthday of the richest man in Maryland, or so they thought.In the mind of Gilbert, he wanted to show off his wealth to the public but deep inside, he also wants to impress the real richest family, the Eastwood so he can marry off one of his granddaughters to the only heir who will come to the party tonight.... At 1:00 pm"Linda, is he here already? confirm from the receptionists!" the old man anxiously asked.Linda was also anxious, she nodded in response and asked the reception but the latter said a not so good to hear news."Not yet here."
"I will go but you should not expose my identity to anyone even to your family."Gilbert felt hopeless, this man is simply so discreet! He's very different from many rich scion he had met, most of them would be boastful and will try to show off their wealth to the public but this man wants to not be known?Although he felt hopeless, he nodded.The two parted ways, Marcus went to the backdoor while Gilbert used the backstage."Where have you been Gilbert?" Linda asked."I met the heir of Eastwood." Gilbert answered, making the eyes of his granddaughters big in shock."W-where is he??" Linda anticipatingly asked."I can't tell, it's either I expose his identity or break the deal." The statement of Gilbert made them disappointed, what kind of rich man is this? do they think they are not deserving of him? just how rich is he?Marcus who just came in from the back door came with some of the s

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
