THE HEIR

A Brand New Life

Yan and Thomas bought the iPhone he always wanted and then they returned home. It was now time for Thomas to go to college, so he dressed himself up and was about to go.

" Do you have a driver's license, Master? " Asked Thomas, seeing him prepared to go.

_ " Unfortunately, not Thomas. "

" But you know how to drive a car, don't you? "

_ " I learned at school but ... It's been a long time that I have not practiced. I was only able to practice riding a motorcycle since Dereck has one. " Replied the young man.

" Please follow me " said Thomas, with a serious tone.

Yan followed him to an elevator bringing to an underground garage where there was a collection of cars and motorcycles. About 30 luxury and sports cars, as well as sports motorcycles, were there.

" These are all you, Master. You could choose one motorcycle to drive today. Once you are back, you can get used to driving. "

Yan was so happy that he was unable to outer any words. He was already happy to drive a sports motorcycle to college, but he was even more excited to drive one of those cars there. " If I told this to someone, would they believe me? I can't even believe my ears!! Did he just say ALL of these are mine? " thought the young man.

" Have you made your pick, young Master? I would advise taking this black Ducatti Panigale v4. A beautiful legend " said Thomas, seeing the young Master overthinking. He took Yan to the motorcycle at the same time and Yan was just amazed to see its beauty.

" Yes, I love this, thank you Thomas "answered the young Master with a great smile and as he tapped smoothly on Thomas's shoulder.

When he arrived at college with his brand new motorcycle and look. People starred at him.

" Who is this? "

" Isn't it the last Ducatti Panigale? "

" Wow !! This bike is just stunning. "

Dereck is a big fan of motorcycles, it was even because of his passion that Yan was also found of bikes. So Dereck was also curious to know who was riding this. He had never ridden the Panigale V4, so he badly wanted to ask the guy for a ride but he had to find out who the owner was first. Yan approached Dereck and took off his helmet.

" Yan?!? " Exclamed Dereck with astonishment and confusion on his face. Around them, students were making even more noises at the sight of the scene.

" What?!? " " Isn't this the poor boy who used to stick with Dereck? " " Yes !! That's him ! "

" He has changed a lot ! " " Looks like he suddenly got rich. "

Said students around them.

" How did you ... ? And why are you ... ?!? What happened ? " said Dereck to Yan. The shock caused by the change in his social status was felt by Yan deep in his heart and soul.

_ " It's a long story, I'll tell you later " answered the young man.

" But it's yours? "

_ " Yes. "

" Can I take it for a ride after class? "

_ " Why are you even asking man !! Yes, of course ! "

Then their class began.

At the end of the class, Yan gave the keys to Dereck so that he could test the motorcycle and a group of students approached Dereck when he was back. Since Dereck was rather popular, it was easier for students to approach him. Then Dereck returned the key to Yan after answering the questions of the little crowd that surrounded him.

While most people still hesitated to talk to Yan, a beautiful and skinny girl asked :

" Is it yours? "

_ " Yes " answered Yan.

" Can you take me for a ride? "she replied with seducing eyes and voice tone.

It was the first time that a girl at the college ever showed interest in Yan. And this girl was not any ordinary one. It was Cassie Jones, the most beautiful girl in the Communication Department. Many guys on the campus wanted to date her but only a few have had the chance to get her heart. Yan did not notice that she was among this little crowd around his bike.

_ " Okay " answered the young man without hesitation. When Yan accepted, a small troup of girls came to beg him for a ride one by one too. These were Cassie's friends.

" I'll take Cassie first and then you go one by one "

_ " Thank you !! " Answered the girls with a lot of charm in their eyes and voices.

Then, Yan took Cassie for a short ride on the campus. She put her arms around him as they ran and every time Yan had the occasion, he showed how fast his beast could go, making Cassie hold him tighter.

What a wonderful experience for Yan. Cassie was the first girl he brought on a motorcycle and she was the one begging for it. Who would believe that a girl like her would one day beg him for anything?

" Stop the bike " said Cassie, and Yan stopped. Then Cassie took her helmet off and Yan followed.

_" Is something ... " Yan wanted to ask but Cassie closed his mouth by putting her finger in his mouth as a sign of silence and then caressed his face to kiss him after. He could not realize what had just happened.

" Was it for real? Like ... Does it mean I am your boyfriend now? " asked Yan. He knew that Cassie was single for the moment now, so he wanted to be sure about her intentions.

_ " If you can prove that you love me, I can make you my boyfriend " replied Cassie.

" I do ... How can I prove my love for you. "

_ " Every guy here does. But if you take me home instead of taking those girls for a ride, then you will deserve to be my boyfriend. "

Cassie did a smart test if, after a kiss, Yan would sacrifice the small pleasure of being surrounded and praised by these girls to be her boyfriend. And Yan accepted.

So he took Cassie home that day after sending an SMS informing Dereck that he would do so.

Cassie Jones rented a small apartment near the campus and Yan took him to the door.

" I have a class from 8 to 10 a.m tomorrow. You better not disappoint me and have some time for me tomorrow. "

_ " I will be there at 10 a.m " replied Yan confidently.

After that, when Cassie went home, he called Dereck and told his friend to meet him at Herman's Lounge. Dereck was astonished by this invitation, as not later than yesterday, Yan was humiliated there and brought to the owner of the place. So why did he want to return there? Dereck could not grasp the reason for Yan's choice but accepted it anyway.

Once in the place, they saw Ricky, Patricia, and their group of wealthy and snobbish students. Hanging out there for them was already a habit and a means to showcase their social status.

When they came in, Patricia did not recognize Yan and thought he was one of Dereck's other friends since he had a lot. However, seeing his expensive clothes and great look, she could not help but stare at him, waiting to see his face.

The shock was enormous when she discovered it was no other than Yan, the poor guy she had ill-treated yesterday. She, then, made a sign to her friends and they started looking at Yan and Dereck and shared some thoughts about them.

But Yan and Dereck did not stay long at their site as they were heading to the VIP space. So when they were gone, Ricky called a waiter and asked: " Excuse me, where are these young men going? Isn't it a restricted area? "

_ " Yes, it is restricted to the public. But not for staff members and VIPs "

" Thank you " answered Ricky, then when the waiter left, he started gossiping.

" They are probably working here. That place is reserved for VIPs and staff of the Lounge. "

_ " And what about his sudden change of look? " Asked Patricia.

" Maybe he is in drugs or other traffic. "

" Yes, certainly he was unable to pay for the glasses he broke yesterday and they made him do some dirty business with them. "

In the VIP Space,

Yan counted what happened to him yesterday to Dereck and how he became ultra-rich now. His friend could not believe how things turned out. He remembered how many times Yan had been ill-treated for his poverty for all those years and now he was so rich that he even ate in the VIP space of Herman's Lounge. Even the rich kids of the college did not eat there because they were not considered VIPs.

" How does it feel? " asked Dereck " How does it feel to have that much money? "

_ " Honestly, I don't know how to describe it. It has not even been 24 hours and I can already see the difference in the way people treat and look at me. It is strange. And thinking about how much money I can spend every month is just mind-blowing. " Even though Yan did not mention how much he had to spend per month, Dereck understood it was a huge amount.

After a few dishes, the two young men left Herman's Lounge and went to their respective homes. Yan was so eager to see Cassie on the next day that he barely slept waiting for the morning to come.
