CHAPTER 60

TWILIGHT HIGH**

Gavin smiled and wiped off the tears remaining…

“Don’t cry please,, this is the time to show to them that you’re a strong willed woman” Gavin said.

Iris exhaled loudly and looked back at him before nodding with a slight smile on her lips.

“Good, come let’s go..” Gavin held her hand and they went downstairs.

The students kept staring at them while murmuring to themselves..

“What you looking at? Instead of investing your time prying into others business why don’t you go turn your uséless life into something meaningful…” Gavin snapped.

The students gasped loudly and they looked away, slightly ashamed…

Kimberly ran to them and hugged Iris tightly while the rest followed behind her.

“Thank goodness you’re safe” Kimberly muttered.

“Gavin, the principal summons you in his office, I think it’s because of Xander” Josh said..

Iris looked at Gavin worriedly. Gavin looked at her and smiled assuredly before looking back at Karl.

“I’ll be on my way…” Gavin said and left for the principal’s office.

Gavin stopped in front of his office and then gently knocked on it

“Come in” A voice spoke.

Gavin turned the door knob and opened the door before walking in. He met Xander sitting on the chair with bruises all over his face. Beside him was a man…

“Gavin, have a seat” The principal said.

Gavin looked at the principal for a while before sitting down on the only empty seat there..

“Gavin, explain what happened?” The principal asked, pointing at Xander who held a pitiful look on his face.

Gavin looked at him and felt the urge to hit him all over again but he held himself back.

“He’s the one who posted a video of Iris Williams on the school blog. I just gave him back a piece of his cake” Gavin said.

“I understand. It’s normal to see students of this school dating each other but beating up your fellow classmate up to this extent is quite much… You should have reported it to the school authority.” The principal said.

“There’s nothing you will do to him apart giving him some small punishment… This guy here is a demon in sheep clothing. He needs to be put in his rightful place..” Gavin raised his tone abit.

“Lower than tone of yours Mr Gavin!…” The principal snapped.

The principal looked at the man beside Xander. He turned out to be Xander’s uncle.

“I’m so sorry Mr but you’ve heard the truth and if Xander isn’t denying it then that’s the truth. As in accordance to the school rules and regulatione, both kids will be punished..” The principal said.

“Xander Tyson, your suspended for a week…sit at home and reflect on what you’ve done and also once you’re suspension is over, you’ll take part I community service” The principal said.

“Same thing goes to you Gavin, but since you fought for a seemingly right course…you’ll be suspended for just three days.” He said.

“The video has also been brought down from the blog.” He added.

Xander’s uncle stood and shook hands with the principal.

“Sorry for the nuisance my nephew caused you…” He said.

Xander’s uncle turned to Xander and h it his head.

“Come let’s go. Useléss child” He muttered as they walked out of the office.

Gavin stood and made to leave too but…

“Gavin you’ll have to wait for something too. Your mother is coming…” The principal said

THORNTON INVESTMENT**

Ricardo was busy on his computer, typing and sorting things out. He heaved a sigh of relief when she was through with what he was doing.

“Val, please bring me the files I asked you to work on..” He pressed a button and spoke on it.

He leaned on his chair and stared at the ceiling, reflecting on his life till now. His mind suddenly went to Ryan…

“I haven’t heard about that foól for a while now.” Ricardo thought and smiled, thinking of how stupíd he was… How can a man break the heart of a woman like Valentina. She’s just all in one…

He opened his eyes as his mind went to Evelyn. This time he doesn’t feel anything while thinking about her…

“You don’t know how much I loathe you and I never want to see you again…” Ricardo said inwardly…

He sighed and sat back upright…

“Where’s Valentina?” He wondered. Its been a while that he called for her.

He pressed the button and made to speak when the door suddenly burst open.

“Surprise!!! Happy birthday Cardo!!!” Logan, Kristina and Valentina screamed.

Ricardo just stared at them. He blinked severally, utterly surprised…

“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten of your birthday?” Kristina furrowed her brows.

Well truth be told, he forgot his birthday. That was the day he proposed to Evelyn and ever since the day she eloped with his money, he doesn’t celebrate his birthday…

“Happy birthday daddy!” Myles ran and hugged Ricardo.

Ricardo got over his shock and then smiled. He broke the hug and also hugged Minnie then pecked her…

He dropped her and stood then hugged Logan who walked to him…

“Happy birthday bro, can’t believe you’re now 27” Logan said.

“Thanks bro” Ricardo smiled.

“That doesn’t change the fact that I’m older than you with three months so respect your elders” Logan smirked as they broke the hug…

Ricardo chuckled and rolled his eyes…

“Big brother” Kristina smiled as she hugged Ricardo.

“Happy birthday big brother” Kristina smiled.

“Thanks baby sis.” Ricardo said.

“I’m not a baby…” Kristina pouted as they broke the hug.

Ricardo chuckled and pinched her nose…

“No matter how much you grow, you still remain my baby sis. The one who always runs to me whenever they bully her..” Ricardo said.

Kristina smiled, remembering their childhood…

Ricardo now looked at Valentina. Minnie and Myles looked at each other and nodded. They immediately closed their eyes…

Ricardo walked to Valentina and held her by the waist kssing her immediately. Logan and Kristina smiled as they watched them…

“I know you’re the one behind this… Thanks my love” Ricardo smiled..

Valentina stared at him and then smiled brightly.

“You’re the CEO so just make today a free work day… We’re going to mom and dad’s house were a party awaits us…” Kristina said.

“Okay” Ricardo said and switched off his laptop.

“We’re gonna eat cake again. Yay!!” Minnie exclaimed.

They all walked out of Ricardo’s office and began heading out of the company…

?Happy birthday boss

? Happy birthday boss

Ricardo smiled in reply as he walked out of the company with Valentina beside him.

He smiled as he got out and met a crowd holding band with ‘Happy Birthday’ written on it, they are his workers.

“Thanks everyone, thanks for remembering my birthday and to show you my gratitude… I declare today as a work free day and also each and everyone of you gets a 10% increase in their salary of this month” Ricardo smiled.

His workers began clapping and cheering for him with smiles on their faces.

“Yay!! I get a 10% increase on my salary” Valentina rejoiced.

Ricardo chuckled and shook his head.

“Like seriously? I’m your boyfriend and I can get you whatever thing you wish for, just name it…” Ricardo said.

“I know but I just love being independent” Valentina smiled.

Ricardo looked at her and smiled. He held her hand and like that they walked to Ricardo’s car.

“First, you defy your parents words then you act all rude to us… Now you get yourself into trouble!!! All because of that girl,,, what if you klled the guy?!!! Then you could have ended your life into prison!! Is that what you want!! All because of that girl!!!” Mrs Robinson yelled at the top of her voice, so much that veins stood on her neck.

“The guy you’re talking about is a real bea$t. He rapped her and not only that but he made sure that he tarnish he image with the video…” Gavin said.

“Oh really?!! How sure are you that the video is fake what if it’s real?!” Mrs Robinson yelled.

“Mom that video is fake. I trust my girlfriend and she can’t lie to me about such things” Gavin raised his tone abit

“Now you’re talking back when I’m talking I’m talking!!! Look what this girl turned you into…” Mrs Robinson said, totally disappointed.

“You guys just don’t want to see things with me…it’s my happiness and future we’re talking about, you just can’t impose a total stranger on me. All you and dad think of is only about yourself, you don’t care a damn about my feelings…” Gavin said hurtfully.

That made Mrs Robinson calm down. She stared at him for a while and took a deep breath.

“As from today henceforth… I forbid you from going close to that girl” She said lowly.

“Mom… You can’t possibly do that to me” Gavin said, filled with shock.

“I have to… I don’t understand you these days and it’s because of that girl. I’m gonna file a restraining order against her and you know what that means…” Mrs Robinson said and turned away.

“Come let’s go, you’re suspended for three days anyways” She said and began walking away.

Gavin breathed in and out loudly and then next thing was thay he pun¢hed the wall.

“This is pure sht”
