Wide gain without chain
Chapter one
Cynthia rushed down the hallway of Limanna high school, she was tensed, annoyed and just wanted to find a solemn place to breath but as she stormed through the hallway, she found herself crashing on the chest of a really handsome and tall guy, Caleb. "Really? What is your problem can't you watch were you are going to?" Caleb yelled angrily as Cynthia apologized calmly "I am so sorry, that was a mistake" "I don't fucken care! how dare you hit me so hard on my chest? What is your problem can't you watch your way properly? Why are you so restless?" Caleb lashed at Cynthia "but I just said that I was sorry and that it was a mistake, what do you want me to do?" Cynthia said looking concerned as Caleb replied "I want you to leave this school and go home, After all a thief has no place here" "why would you call me a thief? What is your problem?" Cynthia asked angrily "because your father is a thief and the daughter of a thief is also a thief!" Caleb replied feeling super as Cynthia said "you know that my father is not a thief and your mum wrongly accused my father of theft but it is fine, karma is real, your mum will pay for what she's done! " Cynthia said angrily as she angrily stormed away. As Caleb stood there in confusion, his twin sister Dreaster and her best friend Elena walks towards him as they have been observing the scenario for a while. "Hello, brother! What was going on just now" Dreaster asked smiling in rather an awkward way "well, it's Cynthia, I don't know where she was running to but she hit me on my chest and it was so annoying" Caleb replied "What? How dare she! Is she mad or something, I will make sure she suffers for what she did" Dreaster said to Caleb in a perhaps insincere tone. "Whatever, I will just go" Caleb said trying to escape whatever was to come next "wait Caleb, wait!" Dreaster ordered calmly as Caleb replied "what next Dreaster, I'm tired and I want to get out of here" "well, at least can't you say hi to Elena, my friend? The thing is that she likes you and she would love to dance with you on your birthday which is this coming Saturday. What do you think" Dreaster said in a more persuasive way while smiling at both her brother and her best friend as Caleb reluctantly replied "well whatever, I will think about it" Caleb said as he, without hesitation worked away. "It seems like your brother is not interested in me, like he didn't even say hi" Elena said looking disappointed "my brother is a bit hard to get and that's just how he is. The thing is that it would take time but I assure you that my brother is all yours. I mean your beautiful, tall and hot what else could there be for a perfect guy like my brother to want in a girl?" Dreaster replied Elena assuredly as Elena nodded her head positively and they both walked away.
The following day been Tuesday in the classroom where Cynthia was, the teacher begins to write on the white board while teaching the students in the classroom, but Cynthia was lost into a world of sadness and tears and wasn't even paying attention to whatever the tutor was teaching. "I would never forgive this woman for what she had done to my family! Why me? Why do I always have to go through trouble all the time what is the problem with my life, if life is this hard then why was I born in the first place" Cynthia murmured bitterly within herself. Soon the class was over and the teacher walked out after waving at the students. While everyone resumed whatever they were doing, talking and vibing with one another, Cynthia remained on her seat feeling all restless and annoyed lost in bitter thoughts.
In no time, Cynthia broke out of thoughts when a tall handsome male student in the class approached her and gently tapped her shoulder. He had been observing her silence and redrawer and had been worried that something must be wrong with her. "What exactly is the problem with you Cynthia? You've been all lonely and moody and the way you redrew yourself from everyone. What is the matter? Talk to me" kelvin said as he slowly bent to seat next to her. Cynthia, just recovering from the shock of the touch reluctantly and finally spoke out "I'm fine, besides its none of your business" "please, talk to me, I really don't want to see you this way. Trust me, no matter what you are going through you always need someone to confide in" kelvin said looking somewhat desperate "well I would have confided in my mum but she's dead and my two brothers, they are too busy with their own business and they definitely don't give a damn about me" Cynthia replied in a more relieving tone. "Well, I want to be there for you, so tell me anything, it is said that a problem shared is a problem half solved so tell me!" Caleb demanded as Cynthia hesitated but finally spoke up while twisting her fingers and her voice filled with emotions. "Well, my mum died of a cancer just two months ago and before then, my dad gave everything he could for her treatments as well as all our family savings and all payment gotten from his monthly salary but in the end she died. Just last week a huge amount of money was missing in the company my dad worked in and all fingers pointed to my dad because he was the financial manager of the company and that company belongs to Caleb and Dreaster's parents. Without no concrete proof or evidence my dad was sent to jail and he is currently on trial, I was so terrified and annoyed because I have no one but my dad. My dad had been a faithful and loyal employee of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew and he had been in the company for over fifteen years and had no single criminal or immoral records. They had absolutely nothing against my dad, all they wanted to do was to bring him down because he found a lot of dirt on them, slush funds, illegal money laundry, my dad refused to join hands with them and this is how they repay him. Well, I am hoping that my dad gets the justice he deserves because I am really restless right now and I don't even know what to do. I'm sad and devastated, I didn't ask for much, all I want is to be happy and… and I just so much hate Mr. and Mrs. Andrew and their miserable children Caleb and Dreaster!" Cynthia concluded with tears in her eyes and a bitter heart. "I am so sorry you and your family had to go through all of this" kelvin said as he held her hands feeling sorry for her and continued in a more genuine tone "well, I believe that things will get better soon and the truth always speak for itself so don't worry, don't cry just believe that things will get better soon." "I hope so kelvin, thanks for your kindness and a caring heart, I really appreciate. You know I honestly didn't want to talk to you about anything but you persuaded me and I really needed someone to talk to, so thanks for been that person" Cynthia replied forcing a shy smile and in very emotional tone. "Well, I want to be there for you at just any point in time" kelvin said as he hugged Cynthia and finally said "uhm, I need to get going, I've gotten some project to complete, I will catch you later and we can hang out properly. Bye for now!" he said as he stood up and waved at Cynthia while walking away. Cynthia waved back feeling better and slightly relieved. And just as she stood up to leave the class, Caleb stormed towards her and said "I was standing at the back of the class window the whole time, I wanted to receive some fresh air but ended up overhearing your conversation with kelvin" "please forget about whatsoever you heard and stay away from me!" Cynthia yelled and walked out on him hitting her body on his shoulder and leaving him even more curious and devastated.
