The rest of the afternoon was spent with Darius buying several things he deemed necessary for Erin.He contacted the Elle; the manager of Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence and instructed her to direct him to a suitable apartment. Soon enough, Darius phone pinged signaling the arrival of the message. Darius took a quick glance at it before driving to the apartment.The apartment was a two hour drive from Darius residence. It was very luxurious and stylish. Although it was not as classy as Darius’ apartment, it had everything that Erin needed.Erin’s jaw dropped in shock when the agent in charge of handling the house told them the price for the apartment. It was an astronomical sum of $200 million! It was completely ridiculous.She was about to persuade Darius to look for a cheaper apartment for her when the agent’s phone pinged loudly.The agent showed the message to the duo, confirming that the transaction was a succ

With the issue of his personal assistant sorted out, Darius could finally rest easy. Now he wouldn’t have to worry about his workload. The only thing he needed to do was sign the important documents that needed his signature and leave the rest to Erin. His sleep that night was a peaceful one. The next morning Darius woke up earlier than he usually did. His one week leave the university granted him for being the highest contributor at the charity gala was finally over, and he was resuming school today. As he prepared for school, Darius wondered how his classmates would behave when they saw him now. He had checked the class main chat on his messaging app a few times so that he could be up to date with the happenings at school. During the few times he checked, he saw that they had mentioned him a lot of times. The events at the charity gala had spread to the majority of the student body. Details of how Darius arrived in a very fancy sports car, outbid both Pearl and David and became th

The walk to his friends’ location was a short one. After walking for five minutes, he got to his friends’ location. When he was still a short distance away from his destination, he caught sight of Marcus and Greg discussing. A smile unknowingly crept up on his face at the sight of his two friends. Delighted, he increased his pace and walked up to them. “Darius!” Greg exclaimed when he saw Darius. He was not present the time Marcus had a phone call with Darius; therefore he had no idea that Darius decided to hang out with them. It was pleasant surprise for him to see Darius. “What’s up Greg?” Darius replied; smiling heartily as he gave Greg a bro hug. “I’ve been alright man. We missed you. Where have you been?” Greg asked as he hugged Darius. “I’ve been really busy these past few days, but don’t worry. I’m free now. We can hangout for a while.” Darius replied pleasantly. Just as Greg was about to reply Darius, Rudd appeared in their line of sight and started walking towards them. H

A frown crept onto Darius’ face the moment he heard her scream on the other end of the phone. He didn’t need to be told that Helen was in danger. The last time they met was at the charity gala, and apart from the light conversation he had with her before the auction, he hadn’t spoken with her again. “Where are you now?” Darius asked calmly. He knew that getting her location was of paramount importance. Anything else could take back seat in the face of her location. “I’m at the VIP section, room 38 of HKN Diamond Hotel.” Helen replied in a shaky voice. “Please come fast. I’m in-” Before Helen could complete her sentence, the phone call disconnected. Darius gripped his phone tightly before releasing his grip. He let out a short breath before speeding out of the parking lot. As he drove at top speed, he connected his phone to the Bluetooth system of his car and made a phone call. The call rang once before the person picked up. “Where is HKN Diamond Hotel?” Darius asked curtly, goin

Luke was instantly intimidated by the intruder’s icy demeanor. Even still, he managed to regain his composure. He could not allow himself to be intimidated by the intruder. “What do you think you’re doing now?” Kris asked angrily, glaring at the intruder as he did so. Who gave him the keys to get inside the room in the first place? He had ruined the fun with his arrival just when Luke was getting to the good part. Darius was naturally the intruder. He had driven like a mad man on his way here, completely ignoring the traffic laws that were set in place in the country. If it weren’t for the fact that his car had a customized license plate, he would have had scores of traffic vehicles on his tail and even probably spend the night in a police cell. When he got here, he charged straight to the Manager’s office. Erin had done her job flawlessly and convinced the Manager to hand over the key to Darius when he arrived. The Manager had refused at first, but once he heard that the person de

Darius walked quickly to the spot he parked his car. As he walked the embers of rage still burned fiercely in his heart. He was very dissatisfied with the beating he gave Luke. He felt that Luke deserved way more than the beating he received. However despite how disgruntled he felt about it, he didn’t act on his feelings. Taking Helen back to safety took precedence over anything now. He unlocked his car and placed her gently in the passenger seat and got into the driver’s seat before driving off at full speed. As Darius drove, he couldn’t help but throw occasional glances to where Helen lay curled up on the seat. Anger bubbled again in his heart when he thought about what Luke and Kris wanted to do to her. If he hadn’t managed to arrive in time the consequences would have been very severe. He turned his gaze away from her and focused his gaze on the road. Nevertheless there was a very cold glint in his eyes as he drove. Helen wellbeing took precedence for now, but that wouldn’t be

The next two days went on as usual for Darius. He went to classes as usual, practiced his martial arts and made some time to relax. Now that majority of his work had been delegated to Erin, he now had some free time for himself. The situation with Helen was however a bit complicated. Although he was still shocked about the kiss from Helen, there was nothing he could do about it as Helen had put him in a bind. He had gone to the hospital today as her roommate was being discharged. He drove her roommate to her dormitory personally with the hopes of fishing her out, but the result was the same as other days. Since she kissed him on the night he saved her, Helen had avoided him like the plague. He had called her several times to keep her updated about the progress of her friend in the hospital, but she had refused to pick any of his calls. He only got reports from Erin that she visited the hospital regularly during the time her roommate was hospitalized. Frustrated by her antics, he h

Darius heart beat sped up even more when he heard the man’s declaration. At that point he knew that the man bore only hostile intentions towards him. He wanted his life? That put Darius in a dilemma. From the aura the man gave off, Darius knew that he was no match for him. However there was something that confused him. “Why do you want to kill me?” Darius asked. He had not done anything evil or bad to warrant someone to suddenly appear and try to take his life. He had always maintained a low profile since he became wealthy, so he was genuinely confused at this man’s appearance. “No hard feelings. I got a job to kill you. It’s as simple as that.” The man replied. “Who sent you?” Darius asked again. He was very curious about that. “That I cannot answer; as it is against my rule to rat out my employer.” The man started. “Besides, you don’t need to worry about that. You will not be leaving here alive anyway.” As soon as the man completed that statement, he launched himself at Dari
