THE CONSORTIUM’S HEIR BY BENJAMIN JNR CHAPTER 3

“You’re breaking up with me?” Darius asked, still unable to believe what he just heard. “Yes Darius, I am breaking up with you. This relationship is over.” Sarah said without an ounce of emotion evident in her voice. “As you can see, I am now in a relationship with a wealthy and handsome man who can take care of me. I wish you all the best Darius.” Sarah said with a tone of finality. She had broken off whatever relationship they shared with each other completely and made her stance clear. Unknown to Darius and Sarah, the stream was still being broadcasted, so this little episode was known to the whole student body watching the stream. The comment section was blowing up. “What does this mean? Breaking up? Does this mean that Sarah was in a relationship with someone before?” “I doubt that. Look at the person outfit. I bet that they don’t even cost up to $30. How can such a person be in a relationship with Sarah Ginn?” “You’re right. Wait, Isn’t that Darius Reid?” “Darius Reid? Who’s that? You know him?” “Of course! Wow, I never knew that he was this kind of person. He is the poorest student in our Business Management department.” “What? Really?” “Yeah. He can’t even afford a $100 meal. I can’t believe that he has the gall to claim that he was in a relationship with Sarah of all people.” “Right. It’s obvious he’s just lusting for what he cannot get. Otherwise why would he wait until Sarah agreed to date David before showing up?” The comments kept on flooding in, and soon everyone on the stream started seeing Darius Reid in a new light. His dorm mates however were in shock. They had no idea when Darius left the room and went to the Sky Golden Hotel. If they did, they would have tried to stop him. They also didn’t know which side to believe, as they had no idea if he really was in a relationship with Sarah or not. Darius naturally didn’t know what was going on in the comment section, and was fully focused on Sarah and David. Right after Sarah said she broke up with him; David left his spot and stood in front of Sarah protectively. It didn’t matter if they were in a relationship before. Sarah was now his, and he’d be damned if he let a peasant like Darius get close to her. “You heard her bud. Now beat it. She doesn’t want your poor broke ass anymore.” David said, rubbing salt on Darius wounds. Darius ignored him and tried to move closer to Sarah, with the intent of begging her. He wasn’t willing to let their relationship end like this. However, David was having none ofMaterial © .

this. He pushed Darius backwards, keeping him away from Sarah. At that moment, Darius completely lost it. He pushed David backwards, and then the altercation caused a fight. As Darius was poor and always worked numerous jobs, he had developed a physically fit and stunning body. He was physically fit, and had substantial raw power in his body. David was from a wealthy family, so it was mandatory for them to learn various self defense martial arts like Taekwondo, Kick boxing, Krav Maga and the likes. So he always felt confident that he would be on top if a fight broke out. However, from the brief exchange of blows, David was surprisingly on the losing end. It was no surprise however, as David never took such techniques serious. He was a strict follower of the doctrine that Money solves everything. He believed as long as he had money, there was no one or nothing he could not conquer. However, such blind faith in that doctrine had come to bite him in the ass now. He was on the losing end of the fight against a peasant like Darius. David was the one who arranged for the date to be streamed live on Groove. He wanted to improve his standing as the most popular student in the campus, so he arranged for the date to be streamed live. His plan was to show the whole school how he proposed to one of the school beauties and boost his popularity. However, he figured out that his plan would all be in vain if he couldn’t redeem his reputation here. “Sarah! What are you standing there for! Call the security now!” David yelled. Sarah quickly got moving. They were still close to the Sky Golden Hotel so the security team was not far away. It would be terrible if David lost to her ex-boyfriend Darius in a fight on the first day of their relationship. Sarah quickly called the security team over. They responded quickly as they had seen David and the girl come in an expensive looking sports car. They got to the scene and saw Darius beating up David. They rushed to where Darius was and pulled him off David. Before Darius knew what was happening, two hot slaps landed on his face. He looked around for the person who slapped him but when he saw Sarah glaring at him, his heart squeezed painfully. The slaps seemed to calm him down and he let the security drag him away. Sarah rushed to where David was on the ground and pulled him up. “Oh my God David are you okay?” Sarah asked, worry evident in her tone. David didn’t reply. His gaze was fixed on where Darius was being taken away by the security. From that moment, he grew a very intense hatred for Darius. His whole plan had been ruined because of that measly peasant! He had spent over $50,000 in a single night to make his

proposal perfect, only for it to be ruined by that measly peasant! He swore to show him hell when he got back to campus. He turned and walked towards his car with Sarah following closely. He got into the driver seat with Sarah entering the passenger’s seat before driving out of the parking lot.
