THE CONSORTIUM’S HEIR BY BENJAMIN JNR CHAPTER 2

Darius heart was filled pain as he walked towards the Sky Golden Hotel. He couldn’t believe that someone he loved and put his whole heart for could betray him like this. He had loved Sarah with his whole heart, and he thought she loved him as well. He needed to find out what went wrong with their relationship. After walking for 30 minutes, Darius finally got to the Sky Golden Hotel. As a 7-star hotel, the building was very luxurious and imposing. Everything about it screamed wealth and Darius found his self intimidated by the opulence of the building. He was still admiring the building when he saw Sarah and David walking out of the luxurious building. Darius felt his heart tugging painfully when he saw David putting his arm across Sarah’s shoulders. He was very angry at David and wanted to punch him right in the face. He however controlled himself. He was here to ask for answers, not to fight or make a scene. Darius took a deep breath before walking over to where the two of them stood, laughing and smiling with each other. Darius could not recall the last time Sarah smiled like that when they were in a relationship. It wasn’t clear at that time, but he was now seeing clear signs that Sarah was never happy with their relationship. Yet he still went forward. He needed to hear an explanation from Sarah herself. Sarah was still laughing at what David whispered to her when she saw a familiar figure walking towards her. It was late at night so she couldn’t get a clear look at the face unless the figure came closer. David noticed that Sarah had stopped laughing and was now looking in a certain direction. He turned his gaze towards that direction and saw the figure walking closer to them. After a few seconds, the figure finally came close enough for them to get a clear look at it. Sarah eyes widened when she saw who the figure was. It was none other than her boyfriend, Darius Reid! Sarah’s heart started beating wildly. Why on earth was her boyfriend, or should she say ex-boyfriend here at Sky Golden Hotel. She had never told anyone that she was going out on a date with the richest guy on campus David Lesley. How did he know that she would be here? Unknown to Sarah, her dinner date with David Lesley had been streamed live on Groove. Everyone who followed the stream on Groove now knew that she was in a relationship with David Lesley. Even now, it was still being streamed so everyone could clearly see what was happening. Darius walked up to Sarah and David and looked at the both of

them before speaking. “Sarah, why did you do this to me?” David looked at Darius and frowned. He didn’t know who the person was, as he never interacted with people he deemed below his level. From the brief look he took at the stranger’s outfit, he could tell that the person was very poor. The cost of his total outfit weren’t even up to $30, so it was no surprise that he didn’t know him. He was however curious to know how the poor boy knew Sarah. From the way he spoke to Sarah, it was clear that he was a bit close to her. “Darling, do you know this peasant?” David asked, tightening his grip around her shoulders in a display of possessiveness. Darius noticed this and felt his eyes turn red with anger, but still made no move. He only came here to hear Sarah’s explanation. Sarah was very embarrassed when she Darius asked her that question. She looked at his outfit and even felt more embarrassed. This person really had no shame, coming to a 7-star hotel in such an outfit. Moreover, he was even trying to expose their relationship with each other to David! Sarah had met Darius when he was working at one of his part time jobs. She had fallen for him because of his good looks and honest character. However, there was one fatal flaw he had. He was very poor. Sarah didn’t want to date him, because he could barely afford to take care of himself, but Darius was persistent. He kept on pestering her for a relationship and after six months, she could no longer bear it. She agreed to be in a relationship with him under the conditions that he kept it private. As one of the top beauties on campus, she could not allow her relationship with a peasant like Darius to be public; otherwise it would be a huge stain on her reputation. Although their relationship hadn’t gotten to a month yet, Darius had already confirmed her fears. He could not take care of her expensive needs as he could barely feed himself. He was unable to get her the designer bags she wanted and luxury cosmetics she wanted. In a single night, David had spent more than $25,000 on her. Darius could never do such for her. He could barely feed himself, so how was he supposed to take care of her needs? As she was having second thoughts about their relationship, her prince charming in David Lesley came and swept her off her feet. She was going to break up with Darius secretly after her date with David ended, but Darius had found his way here. She sighed. His presence didn’t change anything. What was supposed to happen later would only happen earlier. “Darius, I’m sorry to say this but I’m breaking up with you.” Sarah said. And with those words, Darius world came crashing down
