CHAPTER 2
Jack though was true to his words and he put me in school, surprisingly it was easy after he told them I was home schooled and presented paper evidence and even a teacher, well he was a goon or a leader of one so they had such connections and shit, well aside schooling he started teaching me how to fight, for strength he said, no boy from New Jersey should be beaten up in a fight.
I put in more effort in my school and pumped as hard as I could and at 17, I was a graduate, ready to face the world, and Jack started getting info about scholarships and that type of stuff, finally he found one for Smith and Gold co. and that was when my means was formed.
Jack found out everything about the man so I could apply but I wasn’t really interested since the university he was sponsoring was in Canada, I wanted to go to places where business thrived like New York and its likes but apparently he was giving back to his place of origin, so when Jack was getting his info I paid little mind and kept looking for more in New York.
Then on a beautiful day Jack permitted me to come to his house and for the first time I saw where he lived, it was in a secluded part and it was in a really serene part of town, and a really high mansion, I was so shocked, and I started looking at Jack differently, we went I and the house even more awesome, my first question to him that day was why he couldn’t sponsor my schooling.
“Why should I? I didn’t get your mama pregnant, so why should I? By the way you should know how to live as a scholarship student, that shit will harden you up for good”, he had said.
Then he walked off living me in this large ass living room, with walls so high, and white walls, he even had rich people couch and shit, I was scared to sit or touch anything for fear of putting dirt on it all.
So instead I walked towards this big ass TV, but before I can touch it or look at the picture that drew my attention in the first place, “Step away from my Television boy”, Jack shouted from the staircase where he stood and I stumbled back almost falling on my ass.
“Well sorry” I say putting my hands up and turning to him.
“A simple shout and you’re stumbling and falling on your ass, when I say you should grow up, you think it’s all a joke”, he shouts still scowling.
I put my palms up and move to another beautiful painting.
“Sit your ass down boy”, he hisses at me coming closer.
When I don’t make a move to sit, he pushes me and I fall in the sofa, and he puts on the TV, “you want to go to a school of rich kids and you’re scared of a couch, boy grow up, you’re 17 already, damn it”, he says as he sits beside me.
“Well I still have a few years to_”
“_Poor people were created as leaches, they fold you and cling to you and then start to leech from you as much as possible and that’s why Smith & Gold cooperation has limited his scholarship program to just within Canada, to give back to at least my community”
“Son of a bitch”, Jack spat at the TV.
“Who is that?”
“Exactly who I said it is, a fucking son of a cock sucking bitch”
“And this fucking son of a cock sucking bitch is on the television while we are here watching and cussing, pray tell, who is in a better position”, I snarl.
And Jack’s eyes grow wide, who knew you could speak like this boy, then he starts laughing, “Remember the Smith & Gold I’ve been in your ass about, that’s the owner, he practically rules half of the world, half he has in his pocket the rest are clamoring to get into his pocket, so dear boy, that is William Smith and he fucking owns us, and his rude ass always makes that known, fucking hate him.”
“Found my fucking ladder”, I mutter.
“What was that?” Jack says.
“Oh, it’s nothing, I just think I want to go to Canada after all”, I say.
“Well, if I knew seeing the fucker would convince you, I would have shown him to you ages ago”, Jack stood and moved to another part of the house.
“_The world loves power, and that is the only mantle you can use to rule, if you lose everything, don’t ever lose power”, he was saying as I moved closer to the television, my heart pumping real hard, this man held power, and this man had someone who would inherit the power, and I was going to get it by all means, it didn’t matter who I was going to step on but I was going to be standing in that spot.
“What are you doing boy”, I heard Jack shout almost as soon as I heard his footsteps.
“I am going to need money, and I want to look all big and buff, because next year when I am 18 I will go for a scholarship in Canada and I will get it, that will be my first step to William Smith and then I will take that power, all of it will be mine”, I say with a smile.
Jack looked at me for at least a full minute then he bursts out laughing, “Damn boy, you should go into standup comedy and shit”, he says as he moves towards me, “I mean with that scary ass teeth of yours, you’ll either scare them to laugh at your jokes or they find you hilarious”
“Don’t ever laugh at me old man”, I snarl, “never repeat that mistake”, I say letting all the anger and hate I feel for this man and this situation.
“I got it man, I got it”, he said shifting back and looking at me strange, “you’re going to be a messy one in the end, aren’t you? That much anger is self-destructive” he finishes just before he turns and disappears into the corner.
I turn back to the television and stare at the picture of William Smith, 1 year, “just 1 year and I will be in front of you and I would be the best fucking leach you have ever seen, but when you find out it would be too late, by then I would hold your power, I’ll teach you a lesson for that careless talk about poor people”, I said aloud to myself.
CHAPTER 3“So Canada then”, Jack said, two days after my 18th birthday.“Yep, Canada”, I pile the plates atop each other as we get things ready for the dinner rush.“Did you get all the papers you need?” he stirs the pot with the spaghetti sauce.I turn to look at him and for the first time I really look, beyond the brown teeth and the old age which annoyed me most of the time, now I really looked and I saw the wrinkles caused by old age, his hands that looked over used, “Why do you keep cooking? You’re rich enough”, I say turning back to the plates.“My daughter’s favorite thing was my food” he says and I drop a plate in surprise, catching before it shatters.He glares at me and I look away guiltily, “I didn’t know you had a child”, I say after a while.“Well I had, twins and a wife too”, he sighed and put
CHAPTER 4“Welcome to Canada, Mr. Long” the airport attendee said as we got down from the plane, I nodded at her and kept moving with my head bent low.I was still Anthony Long and I didn’t want anyone to associate me with this kid when I finally changed my name.The actual truth was I had already changed my name and even my scholarship was in my new name, but I had an appointment in the court to finalize the whole process.But all that will come after an aggressive shopping, that was not actually on my list of things to do but after Jack gave me his card I decided that I will have a new look to go with the new name.So first of all to the hotel, then to the shopping mall and finally to the dentist, then by tomorrow I can see the judge for the final clearance.I smiled as I flagged down a taxi and then frowned when he looked at me weird and zoomed off, I was trying to wonder what was wrong with Canada when
 
CHAPTER 6“We will be numbing your teeth by inserting this injection, sir, so just sit back and breathe in”, the dentist says as he brings an injection to my insert in my gums.It’s been a week in Canada and I have had extreme fun, the only downside is not being able to find out a single information about this daughter of William, everyone seems to know he has a daughter but nothing else, not a name, not an age or even where she is at the moment, it was frustrating and annoying but at least I’ve had Emelia and she has been a very good teacher in all things sexual, she even took me to see the sights on a day she faked illness for a sick leave and I had a great time.And I had to lie about my appointment today because by no means no one was to know my weakness, I’ve hidden the fact that my teeth was bad but I didn’t know how to act during my recovery, I had to find a reason to stop seeing her till I was healed a
CHAPTER 7“We welcome all of you to the tour of our prestigious school”, the guide says through a microphone and her voice booms through the halls.It’s been 2 weeks since I had my teeth changed and the pain has lessened considerably but I was still on a liquid only diet and I still gurgle with salt and water, most of the wounds have healed and I could talk without feeling like I was walking on hot coals, generally I felt better and the braces will be put on next week but I got a mail earlier this week that the school would be holding a first tour for people that were handy at the moment and I decided to buy one set of clothing and attend.That was why I was here on a hot Friday afternoon, in the midst of like a thousand people listening to the tour guide telling us about Gold University, Canada.“And for you our special intake we have a special guest, the one and only William Smith”, she screams and my heart
CHAPTER 8A week later and I’m still thinking of Emberlynn Smith and how I should treat the case, at first thought I was going to ignore her existence but right now it is no longer an option because I sat to think of what daughter wouldn’t care if someone is a threat to her father and there were only to available options where she was concerned, kill her or love her, and there was no way I was hard enough to kill her with all those guard around her it will be close to impossible to kill her even if it was a hired killer.I walk into the dentist’s and I raise my hand to wave at the receptionist as I pass straight into the dentist’s office, I’m five minutes late already.“Good morning Luca”, the dentists says with a smile, “Are you ready for your braces?” he asks.I nod absentmindedly and my mind travels to a certain daughter and I begin to wonder how hard it will be to fall in love with
CHAPTER 9“I even have to shop for you now”, Emilia grumbles as we walk into the shopping mall, “I’m taking this motherhood thing to a different level”, she sighs.“I promise to buy you pretty things and also do pretty bad things to you later”, I whisper as I bite her ears and she shivers.“Well, with all these promises I can see the good in becoming your mother”, she says using her hands to make quotation marks around the word mother.It’s been a few months since we had the ‘age’ discussion and since then Emilia hadn’t let it go, well except when we were having sex which was getting more often, I had run out of condom more than ten times and I do buy in bulk.Finally today I got her out of bed to do shopping with me in her free time since school was set to resume soon, I was to get a car too but after a while I realized it might be too extreme so a motor
CHAPTER 10I put the last cloth into my box and sigh, today I was officially moving to a house near the school, according to them tomorrow would be the first day of resumption, the only thing still pushing me to actually go on with this was the fact that I had to have that power that William sat on and that I got to see Aria everyday now.I smiled as I thought of Aria, at first what I wanted from her was all knacks but getting to know her had been eye opening and like a breath of fresh air.She loved to draw and she was actually going in for an art major, when she told me she had a whole dream of why she chose arts, so I felt really ashamed when she asked my major and I said business, but when she asked of the why, all that came to my mind was power.But I recovered when she said one of her turn on was power, I felt like I had found my soul mate, she would just have to wait a while before we had our happily ever, a long time really becaus
