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
Hailey was sad but at the same time mad at Marcus."How dare you not answer me? you're not loyal to me at all." She texted.Marcus received a text from her unregistered number, he couldn't help but flash an ugly and disappointed face.He thought that she will come to him and apologize for what she has done, but instead, she's blaming him for what she did and even reversed what have happened? she's totally unbelievable.A knock on the door was heard by him, "Young master, it's time for your practice."He subsided his thoughts and suddenly became excited, he has long wanted to learn fighting, but even if he learns how, he can't due to his status. Now, he has the power and opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip off his hands! he will become a master of martial arts!He left his phone in the bedside table, don't care if it was still turned on, but little did he know, a voice message was left turn on after he accidentally touched the button to re
Two months had already passed, the university finally is to held the last examination that will determine a students graduation rights. In the Eastwood mansion, Large numbers of maids lined up outside just like how they did when Marcus arrived months ago, but today is the opposite."You sure you want to take the exam in the university son?" Marcos said, quite worried about his son."Don't be afraid dad! I'm all strong now so I can handle it." he persuaded. Marcos definitely saw his son become a beast in martial arts, he was just naturally sad to part with him again, he's also afraid he'll be fooled by that girl again.Marcus saw the look in his father's face and he knew he's worried about him getting back with Hailey whom continuously contacted him in the last two months.He didn't care to answer all her calls and instead he only contacted his friend Nathan and Franc whom he shared his secret to.The two were naturally shocked and amazed to hear th
At 7:00 am, Kingston University was packed with students, unlike from normal days, today was like a storm to them, most of them were nervous for them exams.At the hallway, there are three girls walking into their rooms, Hailey and her roommates, Maria and Henessy.Maria was calm and seems ready for the exams, but the other two were rather distracted by the news of the hidden scion, Henessy even gave up the idea of passing the exam and just thought of finding the young master.In her mind was her evil plans, "I don't need to pass and graduate as long as I can be in the arms of that young master!" Hailey on the other side was concentrated on her after exam plan, to find out the identity of the rolls royce master who resides in the Glorious Hotel!She couldn't help but think of her former lover, Warren Jr. who disappeared and never came back, even his family! and a day after that, the Glorious Hotel was acquired by a mysterious man as
After the examination, the University of Kingston became normal again, lively and packed with students planning their destinations after a long nerve-wracking exam, but today, it's louder as the news of Hailey Morgan, the famous goddess became a hot search in the community page, she was humiliated in her own game with her pauper ex-boyfriend, Marcus Eastwood."Hailey, don't be depressed, besides he did nothing and you started it!" Maria said.She can't see her crying and so depressed, but she knows that she started it so as a friend, she can only do but to confront her wrong doings."Oh shut up Maria! that's not her fault! it's that pauper's who became arrogant just because he went to Cambridge!" Henessy retorted.Hailey, who's planned her after exam destination was really not crying, just acting so she can reason being alone later and go to the hotel just by herself, she's wicked and will do anything to go solo with the young master."Uhm, I'm okay guys, yo
In an executive suite in the Glorious Hotel International, a man in his fifties and a girl in her twenties was talking, it was Peter and Claire Voltaire, the current first family in Kingston who took over the Hegar's place."Claire, this young master is said to be the heir of a hidden wealthy family, in fact this hotel is only one of their property!" Peter said.Claire was shocked in her mind but felt sad in her heart."Dad, I'm not the one to marry for wealth, you know that." In a calm voice said by her.Her father couldn't help but frown and think in his mind, "Of all traits, why did you have to be rebellious like your mother?" "Oh my daughter, just be kind to him if you meet him in the university, his father said that he's being bullied for disguising as poor! if you treat him differently, he'll find you interesting!" His father said, she couldn't help but be curious about the young master."Why would he want to disguise himself and let others bully

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
