Hey, sweet cakes! It's Renya here with a new story.
So, as you know my story works with me writing a new book means that the chapters are not pre-written.
Obviously, you may be thinking; how long it's going to remain free?
Yeah, I know that u guys love reading books which are free.(Even I do that too. All of us know, books are hella expensive)
So, I thought why not make this book free for a year after publication. (Of course in book apps) and make it available for free in my YouTube channel. My YouTube channel: Luminous Renya.
But after a year, I really have to sign a contract for this book. Because I need to earn money for my living expenses. I am not a rich person to be honest.
I want to save up my money for starting my dream business.
So, I am really sorry to say. But I have to sell this book in the end of a complete year.
So, plzzz don't be unhappy for not being able to read this book free of cost.
By the way, thank you for supporting me and my book. You guys know writing books is my dream and you guys are the ones who makes my books earn their success.
YOU PEOPLE MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A BETTER FUTURE FOR A WRITER.
And PLEASE, I MEAN PLEASEEEE DON'T PLAGARISE MY BOOK AND TRANSLATE IT IN TO OTHERS LANGUAGES.
No hate speech is supported and please refrain from bullying, sexual harassment etc in the comments section.
I have got nothing to say and will update this book once in a week.
Follow me on my socials given in my profile info for getting more news about the updates and connecting with me.
If you like my book then PLEASE SHARE IT TO OTHERS.
NO SMUT WARNING. (I am not an erotic writer so if you like my book for romance then you can get the exact romance you are looking for. Just no smut chapters/scenes)
I won't use swear words that often too. (You know young community is reading this book too)
This book will have a lot of comedy and hate to love romance.
This is not the same kind of book you read often so don't be surprised about the story itself.
What more shall I write? I don't know...
OK, RENYA HAVE A GRIP ON YOURSELF! DON'T MAKE THEM FEEL BORED OF YOUR BOOK BY YOIR LOUSY, YET IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE!
One more thing, this book is totally fictional so don't compare it with real life.
~~~~~~~~~
Can you ever be happy if you are greedy? The answer is known to all, yet they choose to ignore it.
Who in this world is not greedy?
Poor people need money, rich people need even more money....just for and only for fulfilling their endless want of luxuries.
Charity is not want they always do unless they have an ungrateful child or no heir at all.
I was also greedy. I was greedy for love....
I never got love, so I realised I shouldn't be greedy about something I can't get. So, here I am greedy... for money.
I had no one since my mom passed away, leaving me helpless.
I was left with nothing, due to the huge debt they left behind.
I lived most of my days in the street, without no clothes or food. Sometimes, I even ate rotten foods thrown in the dustbins. But that trash barely filled my stomach.
Sometimes, I craved for a motherly hug and the sweet lullabies my mother sang for me before bedtime.
She was the perfect mom I could ever wish for. Even when we faced hardships due to poverty, my mother was there saying soothing words to ease my pain.
She was there for me when nobody understood me.
Man, I miss her so much.
After she died, I was greedy for a hint of motherly love.
I always got jealous when, I saw other children getting the love from their moms. I just couldn't accept the fact that my parents were no more there for me.
I always hated when others behaved rudely with their parents; how could they even know the pain of loss of one's parents?
They knew nothing about the PAIN I had to suffer. Never did they know that one upon a time, I was happy....but all of a sudden everything and everyone I adored was gone like the wave of a still river.
No one can know a person's pain unless they feel it.
After not getting love, my need for money became my biggest problem.
I worked at SONALD'S and in different cafes, Ice-cream shops and car washing centres for most of my life. I could barely afford to rent a small, like very small apartment with only one bedroom. And my food expenses were so much that I often ate at home.
To be honest, I didn't have that much money to even buy food outside. I am so poor that I have only clothes bought with a big discount or the clothes taken from the homeless shelter organizations. Even though I wasn't exactly homeless, but my condition was worse than that.
You may think, where all my earnings went to, if I didn't spent that much money on my living expenses?
The answer is my student loan for studying Masters Degree from finance department.
Surprise! I was a Masters student at a public university. I know, I sound very cheap. But that's not the case.
You know, it's very expensive to study in a university in my country.
The books, equipment, electronic devices, wifi etc will cost you a fortune and besides that I secretly do online streaming, due to which I had to pay a lot of money on the equipments needed to give a good quality video experience.
I also am an outstanding student, due to which I got my scholarship and paid half the session fee for my university.
Even though I barely survive, I hope to establish my career soon. So, that I can do my job and lead a better life.
There are many things I want to do in my life, but one of them is to create a charitable organisation for the purpose of helping others.
How virtuous I may be....but there will always come greed in my life....
Yes, I want money. Whether it's for a good reason or not.
So, you can consider me as a bad character all you want. But in life, everyone needs money and without it we can't lead our life happily.
I, Tong Xander need money, so that's why I have to do anything for getting money.
...
I was serving the food in this new cafe, when the door dinged open revealing a very familiar woman.
She had pure white hair which reached upto her shoulders. Her eye brows as well as eyelashes were also white which which made the green orbs of her eyes to pop out more. Her lips were stained with a minimum amount of light pink lipstick.
She wore a red tank top that reached upto the top of her flat stomach and her jeans were white which tightly fitted her legs. Her white coat was kept to her shoulders instead of putting it on. Like she semi wore the beautiful white coat.
Her shoes were some sort of expensive heels thingy and the bag she carried was from the famous brand....the one and only Louis Vuitton.
Overall she looked spectacular as if she walked out from a open magazine.
She looked so gorgeous even though she barely put the makeup on her face. I mean, some rich people tend to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic items and plastic surgery.
In rare cases, it's seen that the young heiress of a rich family walks without a cake faced makeup.
But I must say, that woman which was standing far away from me is a pure natural beauty.
I would say, I like this woman.
But to take one thing in mind is that everything screams about her is money.
Without no doubt, I could say that she was a filthy rich badass woman.
But, what was a very rich woman doing into our tiny cafe?
I know that she didn't only come here for enjoying the fresh baked blue Betty muffins or even a cup of frappachino.
So, what was her business for coming into a lowly cafe?
She seems so familiar yet so confusing. Who on earth was she?
Who on earth was she?
Ok, enough staring at a filthy rich woman! Now get off this weird attraction feeling you have for her. - I thought.
I pulled out myself from my giddy thoughts and found her looking curiously at my direction.
She took off her light shades and stared at me.
Shoot! She caught me staring at her.
I hope she didn't think me as some type of creepy perv, who stared weirdly at her.
I suddenly noticed that everyone kept their head low as if they feared to look her in the eyes.
Was she some kind of royalty or something?
Why did everyone fear her?
She smiled in my direction and said something to the person next to her. Maybe he was her secretary?
She smiled was short lasting, but it went very well on her delicate features. My lord! Her smile was so freaking gorgeous. As if, she was an angel fallen from the sky.
After that, she went to the private booth section of our cafe with her bodyguards.
After a few minutes she elegantly walked out and behind her, her guards dragged out a man who was seemingly passed out.
I gaped at the horrible condition of the man as he looked beaten up really bad and I wondered why didn't I hear anyone to scream.
If he was beaten so badly then why didn't he scream for help or do anything.
Then suddenly I noticed that his mouth was covered with a few layers of tape. No wonder he couldn't scream, was I shocked seeing this.....no. His hands were tied tightly with ropes, which made him incapable to defend himself.
I even did the worst crime than this.....so I wasn't scared or shocked.
Violence was nothing new to be as I experienced it made made it experience to others.
Was I violent now? Or did that whole habit went away?
To be honest, I didn't actually know the truth or you may say I chose to ignore it.
I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard an angelic voice say, "What happened here was not seen by you. Am I clear?"
I looked for the source of the sound and saw it was the same gorgeous woman, who made her guards beat up someone.
Anyone would be fooled by her voice as she sounded so angelic, but she in reality she was a devil.
Why you may say? Because she beat the hell out of a person and directly said to keep our mouths shut otherwise we have consequences.
Was I against violence? Partially yes and partially no.
No, was because I hated the innocent to be hurt and I agreed with it because no justice comes without violence.
At a young age, I had to accept violence as a part of my life as I had to survive in the cruel world. Life may be beautiful, but is has a vast amount of pain and sorrows.
I was hurt, but this pain turned me into a man I had to be. One thing, I learned from pain was to ignore it as it would never go away.
I shrugged of my thoughts and noticed that the mysterious, but rich woman....was gone.
I bet she would kill the man anyhow and nobody would dare to report it to the authorities as she may control them as well.
Did I care about that man's life? The answer was simple....no.
Something, I learned in my life was to mind my own life and not to instigate or be with rich people.
....
"Xander! Wait for me!" said Wei Chang, my super annoying best friend.
I ignored him and kept on walking to my workplace.
He catched upto me and sighed, "I am really sorry, Xander. I know, I always get up late due to which we are often yelled by that oldie. But today, I swear, I didn't mean to get us late."
I again ignored him and walked faster so that he couldn't catch up with me.
He understood my irritated behaviour and stopped his blabbering.
I kinda felt bad for treating him this way, but he had to be responsible. Not always I can forgive him, can I?
He needed to understand the virtue of punctuality and for that he needed to be taught a lesson.
I knew Chang since my first year of college and since then we were inseparable. He was a cheery kind of guy, who loved to socialise. Unlike me, who was severely introvert and didn't love to be in crowds.
Yet, I had to be in a crowded cafe as I had to earn money for myself and be self-independent.
I had to go to work at the noon after my class ended and to tell the truth....my life sucked.
Who even wants to go to work after finishing their wholesome day of reading books?
Yet, did it even matter how I hated to work? No.
Now, on to the topic of teaching my BFF of teaching lessons....was I really that cruel of a person to give his best friend a silent treatment for a whole day?
I knew that this lesson would teach him to value time and make him work harder.
You may ask, was my silent treatment that useful?
Yes, it was. Because my friend is a blabber mouth and he couldn't stand speaking without me.
We were polar opposites, but we were perfect as besties for each other. There were times when things were not financially and at that time he was the only friend who supported me and gave me all of his monthly earning.
He lived to the opposite lane of my rental house.
He was apparently from a rich family, but due to the heinous plot of his step-mother he was disowned from the Wei family.
After being disowned by his family, he went to live with his biological mother and started to earn money for bearing all the expenses of everything.
Even at the time when I was poor, he fed me food and gave up all his money to help me stand up in life.
I was surely grateful to Almighty Lord for sending me an angelic friend like Chang. But that doesn't mean that I would keep him lazy and harm his future.
So, the punishment I gave him was nothing....instead I did it for his betterment in future.
...
We walked inside the cafe to see our manager/owner pace furiously.
He snapped his direction towards us and walked angrily towards us.
"Why are you both late? I swear, it's the hundredth time you boys have been late for work! So, tell me what's the reason behind today's latecoming?" he glared.
"Let me guess, you were late because you both were sleeping late as usual."
"Sir, it was my fault. Actually because of my exams I had to study late at night, which caused me to get tired at noon and doze off. I am really sorry, but please forgive us this time," I lied.
"Oh...so Xander, you made Chang late. Fine, since you are being so humble...you will not get paid for today. And don't plead me for paying you, because you should be grateful that I didn't fire you."
"Thank you, sir."
He went away after scolding us and Chang looked at me with sorrow.
He tried to talk to me, but I ignored him and carried on with my work.
Was I really pissed at Chang?
No, because he was my best friend and I would never be angry at him.
But it's better not to talk with him at the moment as he should really learn to value his time.
Chang, when are you going to learn your lesson?- I thought.
