The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 43

Everyone instantly turned to look at the figure who alighted from the stylish sports car. The car itself was so intimidating. They immediately knew that the owner was definitely not an average person! When the figure fully alighted from the car, everyone’s jaw instantly dropped. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

The figure was very handsome, with masculine features and a very attractive face to boot. His three piece suit was impeccable and so was the diamond Rolex wristwatch on his wrist.

The figure was none other than Darius Reid. “Woah! So handsome!”

“Is he a student in either of the universities?”

“I don’t know. Although he looks very familiar, I’m sure that I haven’t seen him somewhere before.”

“He must be someone very important that’s for sure!” While others were still struggling to remember if they had seen or met Darius before, Sarah was studying the new rich newcomer closely. Although she was taken aback by how attractive he looked, she couldn’t shrug the feeling of familiarity she felt when she looked at him.

Darius paid everyone who were staring at him no heed. He had arrived in a classy way so it was expected that he was the centre of attention. He was about to walk towards the hotel lobby when he suddenly heard his name being shouted.

“Darius?!”

Darius stopped and turned to face the direction he heard his name. There he saw Sarah his ex girlfriend with her arms linked with David. There were also two people who stood where David and

Sarah stood. The male was equally as handsome as David while the lady beside him was also beautiful.

He maintained the cold expression on his face when he saw Sarah’s arm linked with David’s. After all these while he had finally gotten over his love for Sarah. He no longer wanted to be in a relationship of any sorts with her. She had left him for someone else and had probably moved on. It was time for him to move on too.

The name that Sarah called out wasn’t just audible to Darius. It was audible to everyone present as the atmosphere before Darius’ arrival was very tense. For that reason they were able to hear when Sarah called out Darius name.

“Darius?” Someone muttered. For some reason the name sounded very familiar to them, just as the newcomer also looked familiar to them.

There was another brief silence, and as if struck by lightning, everyone’s eyes suddenly widened as if they had suddenly received a realization.

“Darius? As in Darius Reid?!”

It was unknown who shouted it, but once the person did, everyone instantly focused their wide eyes on Darius.

“Are you kidding me?!”

“My God! It is truly him!”

The rich newcomer who arrived in a very fancy and expensive looking sports car was none other than the well known peasant in the whole of Kingston University, Darius Reid!

Everyone gazed at Darius in disbelief. It was no wonder that they couldn’t recognize him at once. He looked completely different from the image they had of him in their minds. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Both David and Sarah looked at Darius with shock visible on their faces. They couldn’t believe their eyes.

The Darius they knew was someone who could barely afford a meal of $50 and was someone who was unable to bring out $200 to donate to charity. How on earth could someone like that arrive to this charity gala looking very classy and in a very fancy car at that?!

Sarah was the most shocked out of the two. She was someone Darius had courted for over six months therefore she was very sure that Darius was a poor and miserable person. He was someone who could barely feed himself! How on earth did he become someone who was able to drive a very fancy car to the charity gala?! Not only that, he was also twice as handsome as he was before!

Sarah’s gaze turned incredibly cold. She glared at Darius with fire burning in her eyes. She couldn’t believe that Darius became incredibly rich overnight. Instead she believed that Darius had been rich all the while he courted her and just pretended to be poor so that he could test her loyalty to him. Sarah didn’t regret leaving Darius for David. She was very satisfied with her relationship with David. Rather she was very angry at the fact that Darius hid his wealth all these while and pretended to be poor. She thought that he was just playing her. Little did she know that Darius became rich only recently.

Her hatred for Darius grew exponetially. She now hated Darius with every bone in her body. She just wanted to see him miserable and poor just like he was before. She didn’t want Darius to be happy at all. She wanted him to suffer.

David and Chad had broken off their stare off because of the newcomer. If they were being truthful to themselves they were slightly intimidated by the newcomer, but they could not show it, otherwise they would be admitting defeat.

Meanwhile Chad’s girlfriend Anna Carrington was smitten instantly by Darius. As a student of Lockwood University she had no idea of Darius’ past as a poor and miserable student in Kingston University, so when she saw how cool he looked when he arrived in a fancy sports car and how handsome he was she was instantly smitten by him.

When Anna felt Chad’s gaze on her, she instantly removed her attention from Darius. Chad looked at her with a frown before making his way to the hotel lobby with Anna following closely, but not before glaring at Darius. David and Sarah repeated the same gesture as Chad and his girlfriend, making their way to the

hotel lobby but not before glaring at Darius. Darius, obviously, had no idea what they thought of him and didn’t care. He handed the key to a valet who had approached him before making his way to the hotel lobby with a cold smil on his face. He was looking forward to the charity gala’s main event. It was there he would display the power of a Reid.
