The President's Son

His heart shattered at the sight in front of him, the pain in his heart suddenly became too much for him to bear, he just couldn't fight it. He let go of his pride as a man as hot tears poured down from his eyes.

He could hear his own heartbeat with the speed rate it was pounding in his chest, making it even more unbearable for him to take in. All he wanted was someone to pinch him so he can wake up in his shabby apartment and find out all of this is nothing but a nightmare that will never come to pass.

But the disdain and mockery in everyone's eyes were so real that it dug more holes in his heart.

"W..hy..y?" His voice broke while trying to speak.

"Uh uh. Look everyone, our crippled lover boy here is heartbroken seeing his crush in the arms of a man who deserves her. Tssk. What a shame" Zack Chan had a victorious smirk on his face as his arms held firmly to Rosa's waist.

This broke poor Brandon. She wasn't his crush but his girlfriend since high school. They're both orphans and he has been the one taking care of her since he marked eighteen and ran away from the orphanage with her. He has done everything within his power to make her happy, even with his condition, he work very hard to put a smile on her face.

He sponsored both her and himself through high school. And he's still doing the same in college. So seeing another man arms around her waist and a smile on her face crushed his fragile heart.

And the lady did nothing to change that. Why should she? She has finally gotten what she wanted and the pathetic scene in front of her meant nothing to her.

"But I gave you everything you ever wanted Rosa, I never for once let you lack anything. Wh....at h..a.a.ve i...i..I done to deserve this?" Brandon was trying hard not to turn his wheelchair around and get out of the mansion, cause everything was happening so fast that it's making him feel dizzy.

He's still wondering how all of this is possible!. Everything feels like a movie to him. Like, wasn't this the same Rosa he kissed this morning before going to the car wash garage, since he didn't have class today?. And isn't this the party he had specifically forbade her from attending?.

But here she's. Not only at the party, but dressed in a slutty way and also has a man's arm wrapped around her waist. He was afraid that she'd get too exposed to the world and lose focus on her studies, but the girl standing in front of him doesn't look like the sweet innocent Rosa he left this morning. She looks more like those hookers at the front of a strip club right across the street.

And from the look of things. This is not her fight time.

"Don't sweat it Brandon. Yes I'd admit you're romantic and dreamy, but only to girls who don't have needs and I've needs Brandon. I do!. Do you think I feel good watching my friends flaunt their new Chanel bags and iPhones that their boyfriends bought for them. Their boyfriend Brandon!" She scoffs as her eyes darkened.

"But what do I get?. Kisses and 10$ for lunch every day like a kindergarten. Those gifts aren't even birthday presents Brandon, they're just gifts given to them out of love. All my friends wear the latest designer dresses, shoes, bags and they eat in classy places, while most of the time I eat noodles three times a day. All my clothes are worn out and my phone looks like it was handed to me by my grandma. And I'm tired of that life Brandon. You can't even get up from that old wheelchair and it's embarrassing and irritating, you're nothing, nothing but a burden to me. So you never did anything for me!. Instead I did. Do you think it's easy being with you, and also doing all the chores in the house while you waste your life at the car wash?.

"So I decided to do something for myself and for my future, cause I'm not going to allow my future be ruined by an unfortunate motherless, crippled love sick dude. Cause if you had left me in the orphanage, my life wouldn't have turned out this way. So Brandon, you did nothing for me, in fact you almost ruined my life, and I hate you for that!" Everywhere became silent as everyone's eyes were fixed on the dumbstruck Brandon.

Everyone always knew he was a loser, but no one knew he was an orphan. And no one also knew that his beautiful girlfriend he always flaunts on everyone's faces also thought he was a much bigger loser as well. The disdain in their eyes grew as they stared at him.

Brandon looked at the woman in front of him in awe. He never for once thought his sweet Rosa had such an impression of him. When he saw Zack's arms around her, his heart shattered but hearing those words from her fixed them. A thunderstorm was forming in his head.

His eyes darkened as he glared at them, especially the woman he worked day and night for, the woman he goes hungry just to see her tummy full and satisfied, the woman he wears rags for just so she could wear fresh clothes. His heart stopped beating rapidly as he glared at her. The tears that were once falling from his eyes already dried on his hardened face leaving tears lines on them.

He grit his teeth in anger and his hands formed into a fist. He clenched his hands so hard that his knuckles turned white.

"So this is your decision? You choose money over everything. No problem Rosa, but I promise you this. You'd live to regret this day" A punch landed on his cheeks so fast that he didn't see it coming. Loud gasps filled the place as everyone stared at a fuming Rosa in bewilderment.

"You're nothing Brandon!. Nothing!. And you'd forever be nothing!.

He was taken aback that she raised her hands at him, though it didn't hurt, but it's still hurt inside.

"Remember this day Rosa" With that, he turned around and wheeled himself out of the mansion.

It's been two weeks since the incident at the Chan's mansion, but what happened that day still hasn't left everyone's lips. It's still the trending topic at Stone's University.

You'd hardly come across anybody who's not talking about; how the famous Brandon's love story came to an end, with him receiving a punch from his girlfriend/ex girlfriend as a goodbye gift.

And another topic is the famous business tycoon, Chan's heir and his beautiful girlfriend, Rosa. Every girl in school wanted to be like her, some even volunteering to be friends with her just to taste a little out of the fame she has, and life has never been better for Rosa.

This was exactly how she dreamt her life would be. Money, fame, respect and fear. And everything was making her head swell. And she likes it....

But life wasn't so pleasant for Brandon. Since everyone gave him the surname he never had. (Homeless Brandon) if you're the type that understands dark humor, you'd know they actually meant motherless, not homeless.

Though he comes to school everyday with an emotionless face, he was still hurting deeply.

The intense hatred in his eyes scares everyone to some extent. Some started assuming things. Some say he was planning to harm Rosa, while some say he's just trying to put on his bravery pants. There were a lot of rumors about him, but he had decided not to let anything or anyone get to him ever again.

......

"Dude you really have to sober up and forget about that gold-digger ex of yours, and try to enjoy school life. And besides, they're a lot of other hot chicks in school" He stared at his best and only friend in school, Jacob. As he went about blabbering things he couldn't understand. He might be in school, but his mind is somewhere else.

"Dude!. Snap out of it. Will you?!.

"Isn't as easy as it seems Jacob, (Sighs). And I don't think I want to have anything to do with girls ever again" His voice held seriousness in them and it scared Jacob.

"Well, I understand. But I really want you to be happy bro. Cause ROSA seems to be having a blast in her new relationship" Jacob emphasized Rosa with a disgusted face, making Brandon chuckle.

"It's easy for you to say. You never liked her that much.

"Yeah right. How do you expect me to like the girl I caught messing around with some of the shareholders of this school, some bunch of spoiled rich brats, and that Zack. If you were in my shoes, you'd definitely want to carry a camera everywhere you go, just so you can send everyone in the world some free porno" Brandon's eyes grew wide as he stared at Jacob.

"Wait?!. You knew all this while?!.

"Brandy. I'd have loved to tell you, but that witch had you wrapped around her fingers, you were her puppet just that you didn't know it. I don't want you thinking I'm some jealous freak trying to ruin your perfect relationship, so I kept my mouth glued. I'm sorry, but finding out yourself was the best I could do for you, that's why I wanted you to go to that darn party so badly. And now that that snake is out of your life just look at you!. Finally adding some flesh" Jacob smiled patting him on the shoulder but he angrily shoveled his hands down.

"Bro, that's not cool. So you knew about this all this while and you never gave me a hint or something?!. I'm very disappointed in you Jacob. Very!" He wheeled himself out of the class room in annoyance.

"YOU'D THANK ME LATER. TRUST ME!" He heard his best friend yelling behind him, but he was too angry to give him an audience.

His face looked like he was ready to harm anyone who came in his way. He headed towards the men's restroom and yanked the restroom door open only to be met with a disgusting sight.

.......

She walked across the hallway with a stern look on her face, her heels kissing the marbled floor with anger. Her face held zero emotions, making the maids who were cleaning the hallway all shaky, their heads down, not wanting to piss her off in her current mood.

The more they heard the sound of her heels, their heart beat gets faster and their skin turns pale. Everything was going fine and her footsteps were getting faint, until a maid sneezed making her halt on her tracks. She turned back angrily, glaring hard at the maids.

"Who did that?" Her voice came out calm and it made it look like she was calculating her words, but cold glares were boring holes on the maids body, increasing their anxiety which made some of them start trembling.

"Should I repeat myself?" Her voice came out calmer than before, but the maids knew better than to think she wasn't angry. Not wanting her to say another word. They all pointed to a particular blonde who was already shivering from the cold atmosphere.

"You're fired.

Her voice echoed in the silent hallway as she turned and marched towards her formal destination, not giving room for pleas.

The poor maid slumped to her knees as hot tears ran down her cheeks. The other maids felt pity for her but dared not get close to her, so as not to bring misfortune to themselves.

She finally got to the last door on the hallway and a sigh escaped her lips as she stared at the golden door in front of her. Her cold aura left her immediately and her lips formed into a genuine smile. If any of the maids had gotten a glimpse of this scenario, then they'd have a panic attack out of shock.

Silver Gold, the only child of the president. Who's as cold as ice, smiling?. She doesn't even smile on her own birthday. In fact she's even scarier on that day than any other day.

After taking a deep breath. She pushed open the door and skipped inside like a two years old who has been promised a treat.

"How are you doing today mom?.

"Who do you think you're barging into a place like this, like it's your darn apartment Brandon?!" Zack's annoyed voice bounced on the walls of the restroom and it irritated Brandon just like the sight in front of him.

"Well, If you don't want to be barged in on, then you could've had some dignity and got a room or you could have locked the door. Cause not a lot of people would love to walk into a sight of your dick stuck inside a slut's hole" He shrugs his shoulders as the look of disgust grows on his face.

"Oh, See who's talking?. The same dude I banged his girlfriend in this same position yesterday. (Chuckles). Cut the crap men, I practically own this school, cause my dad is the highest shareholder in this college. So, I can practically have any girl I want" He bragged staring at Brandon with mockery in his eyes.

All he said surprisingly didn't hurt Brandon. Well, except for the fact that Rosa carried herself so low to be taken in the men's restroom. And with a snitch as well, who she's so madly in love with, is still standing in front of him with his waist going back and forth inside a blonde haired bitch, not even caring that someone's in front of them.

Disgusting!.

"And do you want to know the best part?. She was a fucking virgin when I met her six months ago. Gush so sweet!. But I'm still confused about one thing. How can you have a girl staying with you since she was fifteen and you still didn't taste her sweet tight cunt? Oh, I forgot. You're crippled and might be impotent as well" There's only a thin thread holding Brandon's tolerance at this point.

On seeing Brandon's expression, Zack let out a satisfied chuckle as he shoved the girl away and buckled up, while the girl struggled to rearrange herself not even sparing the duo a glance.

"What is it loverboy?. You want to hit me?. Common hit me!. Hit me and watch how I make your entire existence a living hell. Remember who my father is. Mr Lee Chan. One of the richest men in Star Hills and the richest in China and I'm his heir. One single scratch on me and you're as good as dead" Another irritating laugh burst through the air and the thin thread holding on to Brandon's patience snapped. But he dared not lay his hands on zack.

Just like the dick head said, he's as good as dead, if even a single hair went missing from his head. And nobody will come to his rescue, cause he's all alone in this world and the only family he thought he had is being screwed in the men's restroom for some bucks, and the only one he has left is Jacob. And Jacob is as poor as him, and he can't possibly put the poor dude and his poor widowed mother into trouble because of his stupidity. With that he turned his wheelchair around and angrily exit the bathroom totally forgetting to empty his tank.

.........

"How are you doing mom?" Her voice came out cheerful and her eyes filled with warmth as she cat walked towards the weak looking woman on the bed. Though she looked weak, her beauty still stood gallantly on her face. Her long jet black hair looked like it hadn't seen water in months, and her flawless white skin pale like that of a vampire from one of those crazy fantasy novels.

Her ocean blue eyes are as dull as the dark hallway she just walked past. She looked lifeless, but you'd still take your time to admire her when you come across her. She looks like she's in her thirties, but she's already in her forties. And she's no one other than; Mrs Stella Gold, the First Lady of the United States Of America.

"Have they found him yet?" Her voice came out weak and low but hope was shining brightly inside her eyes as she stared at her daughter.

Silver bit her lips painfully as she fought hard to keep her tears in. She hates it when her mother asks this particular question. It always broke her when she had to tell her the truth and watch as the hope in her eyes dies, making it look lifeless. It breaks her. She'd have lied if not for the fact that her mother knows her so well and can detect when she's lying and telling the truth.

"Mom. Cici, your personal maid informed me that you've refused to eat and take your medicines. Is that true?" She prayed deep down that her mother will just answer her question instead of waiting for her to answer hers. Because her answer will only break her more.

"Stop avoiding the question silver or you get out of my room!" Her mother snapped at her coldly. She stood up from her bed weakly and walked towards the window area awaiting her reply.

"Well. The private investigators are doing their best and...

"THEIR BEST ISN'T ENOUGH. IT'S NOT!. I NEED HIM, I NEED HIM TO BE CLOSE TO ME, SO I CAN KNOW HE'S ALIVE AND HEALTHY. WHAT IF HE'S OUT THERE THINKING THAT I ABANDONED HIM?!. I DON'T CARE IF THEY GO DAYS WITHOUT SLEEP, I NEED THEM TO FIND HIM, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE PAY THEM FOR!" Mrs Gold yelled, cutting her short. Her eyes became red and glassy with unshed tears as she held the window tightly. Little sobs escaping her trembling lips.

"What about me, mother?. Am I not also your daughter?. Even dad is yearning for your love, support and affection, but you've pushed us out. Staying in this deserted room, crying day and night. We all miss him, I don't even know him, but I miss him and the investigators are trying their best, but the orphanage has been shut down for a year now and most of the staff are dead. All the clues were destroyed. What do you want from them?" Tears fell freely from her eyes as she stared at her mother's pathetic state.

"I want my son, My Son!.
