Money influence

Chapter 5

I went back to my room and everything felt different. In fact, before my parents died I had been a person who could not hide emotions. But when I fell on hard times, I realized I had to put up with everything to survive. Back then, when I was living with my parents, I could express my emotions freely, and I didn't get scared of people. I always say what's on my mind even though it might hurt the person but everything all changed when Alexander Black adopted me into their family and I changed to a more respectful person.

I don't think I would be able to stand Katherine's nerves if I had had enough money back then because I'm going to shut her down immediately. 

Money Actually controls someone and with that 10 Billions dollars in my account Right now, it's reminding me that I don't have to be treated like a servant by living under their roof.

I can actually rent an apartment with that 10 Billions and live on my own if I want to, but before I will do that, I should be ready to divorce Raven and repay Alexander for his kindness. But I'm I really ready to do that?

Just then I heard a knock on my door and without a doubt, I knew that it was Raven. "Come on" I quickly turned off my phone to face her. I wonder why she's here. Could it be that she's here to tell me more about my life? I thought.

"Do you know Derek?" She uttered as I sighed. Of course, she thought I was this destitute guy who didn't know anyone. So I don't blame her for asking me this question. "Derek is an Acquaintance of mine". I said as her eyes widened open.

"I don't know if you get my point though! But do you really know who Derek is? She asked again, wanting to be sure of my answer. "I had known Derek since I was a child", but anyway, why are you asking?"

"I know you're lying to me Stefan, stop daydreaming about what will never happen and focus on the reality". She said with a disguised look on her face as I bit my lips.

Why can't she just believe me? Or is that how she sees me? And when I didn't say anything to her again, she walked towards me and tapped my hands.

"Listen Stefan: Derek is the assistant of the richest man in the whole world, so how can you blabber about knowing him".

She uttered, still doubting me as I tried to defeat myself.

"Listen Raven.....!!"

"I understand what you're trying to say, please just let me make my speech here". She uttered, and I had to give her the chance to say what she wanted to say.

"I really don't care if what you're saying is true or not but.....it was really so bad of you to follow me around!! I mean why do you have to stalk me? If you really cared about me then why can't you be Good as Derek is? Her words hit my face as she left the Room.

"I think I can no longer handle Stefan in This House!! I'm really so tired of him and I want him out of this Black family. I don't know why that destitute boy is becoming rude and aggressive to me these days. Not only that, but I almost got sick because of his words. Katherine spoke as I looked at Alexander who looked so disappointed.

Of course, he wasn't pleased with what she had Said. "Why do you just keep nagging the poor boy? I won't believe any of your story because you've always been bullying him and Maltreating him ever since he came to the house.

Alexander said and walked out of her. I was happy with the fact that he didn't believe her. At least he knew that everything she was saying was all a lie.

She gave me a wired dangerous gaze as our eyes met with each other. "Just get the hell out of my sight Stefan". She half yelled at me as I walked to my room.

"Alexander" Katherine called her husband over the dinner as his attention turned on her. "What is it?" Alexander questions as I look at Raven who was eating without wanting to hear what Katherine will say.

"So, yesterday, during the time you have gone out" Stefan and Raven did have a fight which at the results made Raven cry. Katherine said as I looked at her in shock and looked at Raven who wanted to say something.

But Katherine was smart enough to notice that and quickly shut her up. And of course Alexander was giving me a disappointed look. Just like she had expected.

And of course he had to drop whatever that he was eating at the moment to address me. "Listen to me Stefan; don't forget yourself here or who you are here to start hitting on my granddaughter. You absolutely have no right to beat my granddaughter or lay your hands at her,

because I promise to chase you away the next time you try such a thing. "I'm sorry Alexander, I promise never to do such a thing!!" I apologize even though I knew that I was wrongly accused of what I haven't done.

Alexander stood up and then went on to pack his bags for his business trip. He has not been able to choose a successor, so he is still very busy at work.

After Alexander had left the house for his business trip, Raven's parents who had come to visit us today Actually came out of the room then walked towards me.

They said I couldn't eat and drink from the house for nothing. From today on, I need to pay them living expenses on time which I found quite surprising.
