So I'm A Core Heir Billionaire?

A Pawn In The Game

In the next day, Michael, concerned for his girlfriend Agatha, sends her a text asking if she's eaten. Little does he know that Agatha's intentions are not as genuine as they seem. Agatha, a member of the cheering squad and aspiring dancer, reveals that she's participating in a teasing challenge with her friends to make Michael fall in love with her and become her boyfriend.

To Michael's surprise, Agatha replies casually, stating that she's already eaten and swiftly transitions the conversation to her desire for a new cellphone. She informs him that getting her a phone is crucial for her budding social media journey and threatens to end their relationship if he fails to comply with her request.

The room felt stifling as Michael read Agatha's demanding message. He sighed, realizing that the financial strain he was already under had just been compounded by the unexpected ultimatum from someone he thought cared for him.

Despite the pressure, Michael decided to respond with sincerity.

"Agatha, I understand you want a new phone, but right now, my priority is my exams and paying for my dorm!"

"I hope you can understand the situation I'm in!"

He typed, trying to convey the weight of his responsibilities.

Agatha's reply, however, was quick and unforgiving.

"Michael, I can't be with someone who can't provide for ME!"

"It's just not what I SIGNED UP FOR!"

She said, leaving Michael stunned by the abrupt shift in her stance.

As he stared at his phone, a mixture of emotions flooded Michael's mind – frustration, disappointment, and a growing realization that this relationship might not be as genuine as he had believed. The challenges of balancing academic responsibilities, financial limitations, and the unexpected complications in his personal life left Michael feeling overwhelmed.

Michael, determined to face the challenges head-on, replied with a simple yet resolute message.

"I'll do my best, Agatha. I hope you can understand the situation I'm in right now."

Despite the tension in their conversation, Michael maintained a sense of determination to navigate through the hurdles that lay ahead.

Agatha didn't reply to Michael's message. The lack of response made the situation even more uncertain. Michael felt unsure about where things stood between them.

In the dimly lit room, Michael thought about the challenges he was facing. The quietness of Agatha's side of the conversation left him in a moment of reflection. He realized that even though he was trying his best, it might not be enough to understand each other's priorities.

After the quiet exchange with Agatha, Michael decided to focus on his job at the library. He went back to work, helping the librarian with different tasks.

In the quiet library, he shelved books, organized shelves, and assisted students with their questions. Being surrounded by books provided a comforting break from the complicated parts of his personal life.

In the library, Michael felt calm and safe. Unlike the cafeteria where people made fun of him, the library was a quiet place where only students who wanted to learn came.

Surrounded by the smell of books and the quiet sounds of pages turning, Michael felt like he belonged there. In the library, nobody judged him, and his problems didn't matter. It became a special place for him, where he could concentrate on his studies and forget about the difficulties in his social life.

While Michael was assisting a fellow student, Kier, his dorm mate and friend, approached him with a serious expression. Kier showed Michael a picture on his phone, uploaded on i********:, revealing Agatha sitting beside Arwin in the basketball court seats. The image portrayed them in a close and intimate moment, almost as if they were about to kiss.

As Michael processed the unexpected sight, a mix of emotions flooded over him – surprise, hurt, and a sense of betrayal. The quiet library suddenly became a space filled with the echoes of a reality he hadn't anticipated.

In a low voice, Michael, trying to reassure himself, told Kier.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence!"

"The camera might have captured a different angle!" Deep down, he was grappling with the shock of seeing Agatha and Arwin together in an intimate moment, and his attempt to dismiss it as a coincidence was more about calming his own rising emotions.

In a hushed tone, Michael added.

"I'll talk to Agatha about it. Maybe there's an explanation." Determined to get to the bottom of the situation, he decided to confront Agatha directly and seek clarification.

As the library remained a backdrop to the unfolding drama, Michael grappled with a mix of emotions – the need for answers, the fear of potential heartbreak, and the uncertainty of what lay ahead.

Summoning courage, Michael decided to address the unsettling picture. He texted Agatha about the recently uploaded photo on her i********:. In the message, he cautiously expressed his concern.

"Hey Agatha!"

"I saw the picture on your i********:!"

"Can we talk about it?!"

"It caught me off guard, and I just want to understand what's going on!"

Agatha's reply came swiftly, confirming that the picture was indeed of her and Arwin. However, what Michael didn't know was that Arwin was currently using Agatha's phone. She was waiting for him to finish in the shower in the basketball court changing room.

As Michael read Agatha's confirmation, a mix of confusion and disbelief washed over him.

Agatha's response brought a glimmer of hope to Michael. She asked him to come over to the basketball court meeting room, assuring him that she was there and willing to explain everything, to clarify the confusion caused by the picture.

The library, once a backdrop of uncertainty, now held the promise of answers. Michael, determined to understand the truth, gathered his thoughts and headed towards the basketball court. Poised on the brink of revelations, Michael prepared to confront the intricacies of his relationships and seek the clarity he so desperately needed.

In the basketball court meeting room, Agatha finished her shower and returned, only to find Arwin waiting for her. The atmosphere shifted as he kissed her, and they engaged in intimate caresses. Unbeknownst to Michael, Arwin had orchestrated this scenario, using Agatha's phone to invite him and witness their actions.

As Michael cautiously opened the door, the shocking scene before him left him frozen in disbelief. Agatha and Arwin, lost in their moment, were oblivious to his presence until the creaking door caught their attention. A tense silence filled the room as their eyes met.

Stammering, Michael finally managed to speak.

"What?!"

"What is going on here?!"

Agatha, with a sly smirk, retorted.

"Oh, Michael. WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE SHOW!"

"SURPRISE!"

She then laughed, a mocking tone evident in her voice.

"This relationship of OURS?!"

"It was just a JOKE!"

"I don't need a boyfriend who can't provide FOR ME!"

"Arwin and I are going to buy a new iPhone next week, AND YOU BETTER NOT INTERFERE!"

Stunned and hurt, Michael felt a mix of emotions – betrayal, anger, and the sting of being used. He couldn't believe that the relationship he thought was genuine had been nothing more than a cruel game orchestrated by Arwin and Agatha. The meeting room, once a place of anticipated clarity, now echoed with the harsh reality of their deceit.

As Michael stood there, grappling with the shock of the revelation, Arwin continued the verbal assault, his tone dripping with condescension.

"LOOK AT YOUIRSELF, MICHAEL!"

"You're NOTHING... but a piece of TRASH!"

"You really THOUGHT SOMEONE like Agatha would WANT a loser like YOU?"

"She deserves BETTER! SOSMEONE who can actually provide for HER!"

Agatha, joining in the criticism, added with a smirk.

"YOU WERE JUST.... A PAWN IN OUR GAME, MICHAEL!"

A little experiment to see HOW DESPERATE YOU'D BE, to keep a girl like ME! CLEARLY.... you're not up to the CHALLENGE!"

The air in the meeting room thickened with tension as Michael, wounded and humiliated, struggled to find words. Arwin' and Agatha's laughter echoed, amplifying the harsh reality of their betrayal.

In an attempt to salvage some dignity, Michael retorted.

"YOU may have played your GAME, but that doesn't make what you did was RIGHT!"

"You both may find this amusing now....but REMEMBER.... the truth always comes to light!"

As Agatha and Arwin continued their laughter, Michael, with a heavy heart, retreated from the room, leaving behind the remnants of a shattered illusion. The chapter unfolded with the harsh confrontation, marking a turning point in Michael's college journey, as he faced the harsh truths of relationships and the complexities of navigating a world where genuine connections were overshadowed by deceit and materialism.
