The Poorest Richman Novels & Stories

Sumiksik ang kaniyang mukha sa leeg ko habang walang tigil na paghingi ng tawad. I don't know what to do. It's not easy to accept everything. All my life, I never dreamed of having a wealthy boyfriend. Just a simple person will do, but... it's reversed. How could this man endure staying in a small apartment where he could live in a huge room? How could this man eat street food where he could afford to buy fancy food? All those things I'd noticed before. He was so simple and I never saw him and heard him complaining. Kaya sinong mag-aakala na ang taong nagpakilala na mahirap ay anak ng sikat na negosyante sa bansa.

Gago rin ang matandang iyon, hindi na nakuntento sa sariling yaman at kailangan pang agawan ang pinaghirapan ng ibang tao. He had that old man investigated. His wealth actually came from exploiting other companies. Ito pala talaga ang ginagawa nito, at dahil miyembro ito ng underground society, naging madali para dito ang takasan ang lahat ng mga krimen na ginagawa. Now, when he set his eyes on Fabian, that became his greatest downfall. Hindi naman kasi basta-basta napapabagsak ang isang Romano, that’s proven on their father’s and Roccio’s achoevements.

“And sometimes, a distraction and healing.” “Ma'am, I'm just a maid po,” I said carefully. “Inaatasan kitang maging personal assistant niya, hindi lang basta maid, Krixaine.” She squeezed my hand again gently. “Please think of it for now before rejecting my offer.” Her eyes plead.

Sabi nito tapos halos lumuhod na sa harapan ko. With what I saw, I can now say that not all rich people are rude. Look at this rich man in front of me, he looks like ready for anything that I'll tell him to do, even if it is to worship me. Siguro, may mga mayayaman lang talagang walang puso. At napakamalas ko lang na ganung klaseng mga tao ang nakilala ko. "G-Gale. Please accept this. This is the only thing that I can give to you as token of gratitude." Sabi naman nung kapatid ni Heath na hindi ko pa alam ang pangalan hanggang ngayon.

Naramdaman niya na kung mamamatay ang isang tao na hindi nagagastos ang pera nila, hindi ito isang trahedya ngunit isa itong tagumpay dahil ang lahat ng mga malalaking pamilya sa United States an minana nang daang-daang taon ay namatay nang hindi nagagastos ang pera nila. Sa kabilang dako, ang mga tao na hindi man lang kayang matulog sa mga tolda sa kalye sa United States na walang magawa kundi magyakapan sa ilalim ng mga tulay ay ang mga tipikal na halimbawa ng mga tao na buhay pero walang pera. Kaya, trahedya talaga at sakuna para sa kanya nang mabalewala ang lahat ng pagsisikap niya, at nasira ang pundasyon na binuo niya!

One click, one contract signed by a man she had never even spoken to, and everything—her father’s dream, her years of sacrifice, her sleepless nights drawing blueprints—was gone. “Hindi… hindi puwede,” she whispered, shaking her head as tears burned the corner of her eyes. She scrolled down frantically, hoping, praying that this was a mistake. Pero lahat malinaw, every project she had poured her soul into, the low-cost housing plan for displaced families, the eco-friendly school her father once dreamed of building… all under one name. Adrian Veylen. The world’s first trillionaire. A man who built empires of glass. A man untouchable by laws, governments, and—apparently—dreams that weren’t his

Napatingin siya sa sinasabi nito at gano'n din si Enzo. "He is Ried Atkinson, the youngest billionaire all over the world," rinig niyang pahayag ni Enzo kaya napatingin siya rito.

"I don't care about the money. And I don't want you to pay me back." "Well, thank you. Pero baka dapat umuwi na lang ako. I shouldn't even have come here in the first place. I'm still the girl wearing thrift store digs who couldn't even afford to pay the entrance f*e," malungkot niyang sabi, her vulnerabilities bare in front of me.

LEOPOLDO Tumingin ako paligid. Halatang luma na nga ito. Panahon pa yata ni kupong-kupong ang bahay. Capiz pa ang bintana nito at mataas na ang mga damo sa paligid. Medyo tago ang lugar. This is the best place for business. A secret place for all the rich men who want to waste their money and for me to be richer.

"Well, if you're willing to share, I'm all ears." She hesitated, as if weighing whether to open up or not. Then, with a sigh, she met his gaze and spoke candidly. "I need the money. My savings took a hit. You see, Legacy and I had a joint account, and he used it all up for gambling." Osiris' eyebrows shot up in surprise. He hadn't expected that revelation.
