Chapter 5

going to find you and beat you up!” Darius yelled, transferring all the anger he had accumulated some hours back to the caller. “Pardon my impudence Young Master Reid. I apologize.” The caller replied. His voice was now respectful which confused Darius. “Young Master Reid?” Darius asked, utterly confused. “Yes young master Reid. Please pardon my impudence. I have a lot to tell you which I cannot do over the phone. Would you kindly tell me your location? I’ll arrive there shortly to pick you up.” The caller said. Darius kept mute. Suspicion was written all over his face. He had no idea who the caller was so how did he expect him to reveal his location just like that? What if he was a kidnapper who was looking to kidnap him? Darius suddenly laughed at himself. Kidnapper? As if. He was as poor as a church rat. Kidnappers usually did their research. They would never waste their time on someone as poor and miserable as him. He let out a sigh before deciding to give the caller his location. He had nothing to lose anyway. If the callers were really kidnappers then when they arrived he was sure that they would let him be. He didn’t have a single penny on him anyway. “Alright young master Reid. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Please don’t go anywhere.” The caller said before disconnecting the call. Darius looked

be if he had an abundance of wealth? If it were so, no one would be able to look down on him anymore. He wouldn’t lose Sarah to someone like David. Besides if he was very rich, beautiful women would be the least of his problems. He sighed. It was just wishful thinking. He wasn’t special neither did he have an abundance of wealth. He was just Darius Reid, a poor university student. Darius sat there in silence, staring at the silver moon and numerous stars scattered across the sky. He was still star gazing when his phone rang.  Due to the fight he had with David, his phone screen had cracked in various places, so he couldn’t get a clear look at the caller ID. After contemplating for a while, he decided to ignore it. It might have been his dorm mates who were worried about him and decided to call him. After a few rings, the call ended. Darius was about to go back to star gazing when his phone rang again. He ignored the call again, and went back to what he was doing. However, the caller was persistent. After the fourteenth call, Darius finally picked up. “Hello? Do you have any idea what time it is now? Don’t you know how to take a hint?” Darius spoke angrily into the phone. He didn’t care who the caller was. His dorm mates weren’t so desperate to keep calling someone who ignored their calls fourteen times! “Hello, is this Darius Reid?” The caller asked in an authoritative tone, ignoring the annoyed tone Darius voice displayed. “Yes this is Darius Reid and I swear to God if you don’t have a good reason for calling me persistently at this time of the night I’m going to find you and beat you up!” Darius yelled, transferring all the anger he had accumulated some hours back to the caller. “Pardon my impudence Young Master Reid. I apologize.” The caller replied. His voice was now respectful which confused Darius. “Young Master Reid?” Darius asked, utterly confused. “Yes young master Reid. Please pardon my impudence.
