AN HOUR LATER.
The party was eventually cancelled. In the living room is the chairman, Axel, Dante’s dad and the mother of sweet home orphanage.
Axel had a straight face on. He had never imagined being a son to someone rich talk more of the chairman. Off course he’s happy, d@mn excited but the shock about it is still there.
“You want him to come live here?”Dante’s dad broke the long silence.
“He’s my first grandson! You want him to live on the streets!”the chairman shouted.
“He might not be…..”
“No more words from you!”he cut in. A doctor walked in.
“What does the results say?”the chairman stood up. Well, few minutes ago, the doctor took a DNA test.
“He’s your grandson”the doctor said and he smiled, rushing to Axel who was standing. He hugged him tightly.
“Gideon…….!”he cried while Axel allowed him do his thing. All he just needs is a real shower and sleep. ‘ wait, when did I start thinking of a real shower…..hmm, seems I’m getting used to my new life”he said inwardly and smiled.
“Please allow me be there for you son….. lemme be the family you didn’t have”the chairman said in tears. Slowly, Axel palm touched his face, he wiped his tears and he cried more.
“I’m your Gideon, I can’t leave you after you found me”Axel smiled same as the chairman. They shared a warm hug before the chairman took him to a room.
You should know already that the room would be huge and off course be screaming wealth. Seems, the chairman has been expecting him.
“I ask the maids to clean everyday but don’t worry, it’s your room and you’re in charge. Do wh@??ver you want”
“Thanks grandpa”Axel said and he smiled.
“That’s the genuine sound of it my grandson”
“Can my friends stay for the night?”he asked.
“A whole lot of them if you don’t mind”the chairman said and he chuckled, walking deep into the room. He doesn’t have a taste of a room yet but this is definitely his taste. Everything is all on green and black.
The door to the room opened minutes later, revealing Otto and Sandra.
“Oh…….! My…..!”Sandra screamed.
“Yo man!”Otto jumped on him, hugging him tight but withdrawn cause of the pain he’s feeling due to the beating he got.
“Let’s cry”Sandra said, making pitiful face and they did theirs with the hope of making fake tears but remembering how things has been and what they’ve faced, they cried for real and eventually hugged.
“I wanna live with you!”Sandra screamed and that made them laugh.
“Thanks”Axel suddenly face her. Remembering how she stood for him on Dante.
“That face……hug”she widen her hand and he moved into it like a girl.
“I think you both should just date”Otto said.
“Never!”both screamed and he laughed.
“Not after staying up at night to think about Giselle uhn?”Otto teased.
“Hold on!”Sandra said and they both stop to look at her. She walked to the bed slowly, stretching her hands and in a twink, she jumped on the bed. “I’m in heaven!”she screamed and they laughed.
“Dramatic”
“A real time drama queen”

NEXT DAY.
MRS WHITNEY’S MANSION.
Hazel hit the remote in anger. The news is all over New York now. The chairman already announced Axel has his lost but found grandson.
“Don’t tell me he now thinks big!”Maggie snapped.
“Stop spitting trash! He now has more power than Dante over everything!”Archie shouted.
“Maybe he met a fairy godmother”Tess muttered.
“Not now Tess!”Hazel said angrily.
“Can we just give it a little rest? We have a month before the resumption of school”Tess said.
“Don’t you get it or you’re just dump!”Maggie shouted.
“Get what?!”
“You’re just too dump”Archie scoffed.
“The fact that ya all are scared of what he might try to do?”she smirked.
“Don’t tell me you’re a spy?”Maggie stood up.
“Spy? Come on, I don’t care wh@??ver he does cause I deserve it”she said.
“She needs a therapist”Archie walked out.
“You’re acting suspicious”Hazel said.
“Anything home?”she stood up walking to the kitchen. Maggie and Hazel exchanged confused look.

CHAIRMAN’S MANSION.
Axel walked out of his room in frustration. He has been indoors since and he h@??s it.
“Where’s grandpa?”he asked a maid.
“In his study”she said.
“Thanks”he said walking away. He got to the study to see him reading a book.
“Grandpa”he called and he looked up.
“Come over!”he smiled and Axel walked to him.
“You look sad”he said.
“Just that I’m bored”
“Off course you can go out, I have a list for you this weekend. Here”he handed him a paper. The paper is even beautiful. Golden and sweet.
“Shopping?”
“Yes, you need clothes and many more”he said.
“Spa? Drive? Attending the school meeting”
“You’re in charge now, you should know how things run”he said.
“I wanna ask of something”Axel said.
“Anything”
“Why did you watch Dante do what he likes? He bullied we the scholarship students daily”Axel said.
“Cause I wanted him to be happy, I really didn’t want to lose him as the second”he said.
“Thanks for coming when I was about giving up. I already made up my mind to quit Stars Highschool when Dante pushed my face in the cake but what seems like a misfortune is a fortune to me”
“I’ll always be here for you”he said and Axel nodded. He dropped an ATM card. “More than enough in it”he said.

EVENING.
Axel walked out of the dressing room on his pajamas. He sat on the bed and dialed Giselle line but she didn’t pick until the sixth call.
“Did something happen?”he asked immediately she picked.
“When do you plan on telling me?”she also asked.
“I was gonna do it now”he said but she said nothing.
“I’m sorry”he said.
“How was Dante’s reaction? Also the rest? Tell me everything”she said in a rush.
“Seriously!”he laughed.
“I’m serious, I wish I was there, I would have robbed it on their faces”she said.
“Sandra gave Dante a dose of it”he said and she laughed.
“I missed you”he said and silence took over. He’s sure she’s blushing now.
“You know I miss you more”she said.
“I know and you should know that I have the three things you wanted. I’m rich now, I’ve got sixpack and I’m sure I’ll be more tall before you get back”he said and she smiled.
“Let’s do the VC”she said excitedly and he smiled, switching to a VC.
**
A STREET.
Wyatt and Maureen are walking hand in hand.
“What should we get next?”Wyatt asked.
“That! Win a teddy for me!”she said and he smiled walking to it.
He tried for close to five times but couldn’t get one.
“We’re going no where until you get me one”she said, making sad face.
“We can just get one”he said but she shaked her head and he sighed, trying again. Meanwhile, Maureen brought out her phone and started making a video. He’s on the eighth one and turned to her only to see her videoing.
“You can’t change”he shaked his head and she smiled. Trying again, he finally got one. A cute white teddy.
“You’re the best!”she screamed loudly, pecked him and took the teddy. Staring at it cutely.
“Stop being cute”he said and she faced him and pouted this time and he looked away which made her laugh.
“Let’s go eat”she held his hand, walking to a close by chicken shop. Wyatt smiled as she dragged him.

DANTE’S PLACE.
Looking at the scattered room with broken glasses and more. Dante is on the ground, looking like one who uses drug.
The door opened, revealing his father.
“I expected less”he was.
“I told you not to come in here without being invited!”Dante threw a glass at him but he dodged, making it hit the door.
“You should better get it together and know you have a rival now, I’m sure that creepy father of mine is planning to hand everything to him”he said walking to Dante who’s trying to stand up.
“Don’t come close”Dante said and he stopped.
“You know, when I ask him to be eliminated, I didn’t know they’d save his life”he said.
“What the hell are you talking about?!”
“Axel or should I say Gideon, after the planned accident that ki||ed his parents, I asked my boys to eliminate him but seems they couldn’t”he said with his usual devilishly smirk.
“What?! You ki||ed them!”
“I surely did”he laughed.
“Monster!”Dante shouted, throwing a glass to him but he wasn’t able to dodge it this time, cause it hit his head.
“You bullied people so you’re one too, you should think about it, I’ll leave him to you, let’s see how you’ll play the card”he laughed as he walked out. Dante slowly fell on the ground.
