Chapter 1: 50,000 Dollars?

He was muttering to himself, “50,000? 50,000 dollars?”

“How am I supposed to get that?”

He lowered himself into a crouch while grabbing his hair, he was on the verge of breaking down!

His grandfather had a heart attack the previous day and 50,000 dollars were required for a heart bypass surgery!

Kaiden lost his mother since he was young and his father had always been away from him for work. He was brought up by his grandfather by dumpster diving.

His father rushed over the moment he received the news but he did not have any extra money because he was merely a farmer and he was used to transferring all his money to them on usual days!

Kaiden could not just give up on his grandfather’s life!

However, 50,000 dollars was an impossibly enormous sum for him who was just working as an intern.

“Sherry Lee!”

His ex-girlfriend’s name flashed past his mind! They broke up on the day before their university graduation day because she found a man who could provide her the ideal life she wanted!

She succeeded! Kaiden heard that she had bags that cost around 30,000 dollars!

After a short hesitation, he decided to look for Sherry and talk to her as he figured that his ego was nothing if compared to his grandfather’s life.

Kaiden wiped his tear and went to Starlight Piano Academy.

She had always dreamed of establishing a piano academy after graduating and her new boyfriend made it happen for her.

Kaiden pushed the door to be greeted by a faint pleasant scent and piano melody. The sophisticated and expensive marble floor looked spotless.

Kaiden wiped his face dry and lowered his head to look at his drenched body. The strong contrast made him fall into a short moment of silence.

“…Hello, Sir!” Shock was written on the pretty receptionist’s face as she wondered why would he go to a piano academy on a rainy day.

“I…I’m looking for your boss!” Kaiden explained why he came.

“Who’s looking for me?”

That voice made him jerk internally before he forced a smile and looked in the voice’s direction.

“It’s been a while.” Kaiden did not expect to look so embarrassing the next time they met after their breakup.

“Kaiden?” Sherry was astonished but she remained friendly. “Come on in! Why are you standing in the rain? Quincy, get my friend a towel, please!”

Sherry’s warm welcome was comforting to Kaiden. He sat opposite of her with a towel covering him and warm coffee.

“Kaiden, something must have happened for you to look for me, am I right?” Sherry was all smiles, as she always did. “Just tell me. After all, I was the one who did you wrong!”

“Something did happen.” Kaiden’s head was low.

He remembered Sherry hugging him and wailing as she apologized when she was breaking up with him.

He did not try to convince her to stay but he said ruthless things like he would have a better life than her in the future!

The God of Destiny makes fools of the people.

It was as if men would always submit to destiny.

“You tell me.” Sherry’s light smile remained.

“I’d like to borrow 50,000 dollars from you!” Kaiden was being straightforward. He was certain that Sherry would borrow the money because of her guilt toward him! Although he was acting shameless, he had no choice!

“50,000 dollars?” Sherry froze before she smiled again and asked, “What is the money for?”

“To save a life, my grandfather is sick!” Kaiden lowered his head and clenched on the coffee mug.

“I’m sorry, 50,000 dollars is way too much…” She did not even consider before she called out, “Dear! He’s asking us to borrow him 50,000! What are we going to do?”

‘Dear?’

Kaiden became stupefied!

He gazed in the direction Sherry was looking to see a man walking out of the bedroom in a night robe.

He was not even 170 centimeters in height but he looked 200 kilograms in weight, he was bald and oily-faced! He was wearing slippers and Kaiden got a shock when he noticed a chunk of black mud on his toe!

Kaiden sighed. ‘Money can buy everything, indeed!’ With money, even a disgusting person could take another person’s girlfriend!

“50,000? Who’s this?” The hideous man furrowed his brow, his pea-like eyes shone with pride.

“This is Kaiden Collins, my ex!” Sherry approached the man immediately and hugged his arm.

“Kaiden, excuse me. This is my husband, Doug Lane. I have to listen to him now because I am his woman.” Sherry continued hugging Doug’s arm submissively.

Kaiden noticed the smug smile on Doug’s face.

Kaiden’s mind fell in complete darkness.

The man was undoubtedly Sherry’s tool to show off her wits.

Doug threw him a few glances smilingly. “Baby, 50,000 isn’t a lot. Do you think we should borrow him?”

“It’s not much, but it’s not a small sum either!” Sherry pouted her tiny mouth to act adorable. Kaiden never knew that she could act this way despite knowing her for two years.

“Dear, it isn’t easy for you to earn the money, you shouldn’t put me into consideration. After all, I am yours and you are everything to me. As for other people…”

Sherry threw Kaiden an indifferent glance. “It’s fine to not help!”

“Hahaha!” Doug seemed to be happy with Sherry’s answer. Pleased, he pinched Sherry’s butt hard.

He then turned to Kaiden with a smile. “Kiddo, did you hear that?”

Kaiden felt a burner in his throat and he could not speak.

He clenched his fists hard!

He would not go home empty-handed that day, no matter the cost! He was too desperate!

“Sigh! Do not think that I’m petty, I’ll give you a chance!”

Being a poser seemed to be fun for most people, and Doug was no exception.

Kaiden froze because of Doug’s words. “You can impose interests, I’ll definitely return you the money!”

“Huh! Your ex is good in trash-talking!” Doug scoffed. “It’s simple, for 50,000 dollars, you have to pay me 5,500 each month for a year!”

‘5,500 dollars each month?’

Aside from the fact that it would be difficult for Kaiden to pay 5,500 each month, the interest itself would be 18,000 dollars in a year!

However, Kaiden was desperate!

“Fine!” He agreed.

“What’s with the hurry? I’m not finished!” Doug raised his foot that he had not washed for days as he smacked his lips. “The interest is just a trivial matter, what’s more important now is that my foot is dirty! Lick it clean for me!”

“What!?”

Kaiden’s eyes were shooting flames!

“Babe, do you have an opinion about this?” asked Doug to Sherry who was beside him smilingly.

“Of course not!” Sherry smiled unperturbedly before she turned to Kaiden. “Kaiden, think wisely. Is your ego more important than your grandfather’s life?”

Sherry’s words calmed Kaiden down.

‘How about Grandpa?’

“Crouch, lick.” Doug’s smile was as bright as sunlight!

Doug had been comparing himself with Kaiden the moment he saw him, perhaps because of his past relationship with Sherry. Doug was not blessed with good looks but he had manipulative superiority!

The superiority complex gave him the satisfaction!

A sports car’s roar came amid Kaiden’s dilemma before a red Ferrari stopped in front of the piano academy’s display.

The door was pushed open and a woman walked in. She was in a white leopard jacket and a black bodycon dress. Her divinely fine face coupled with her curvy figure gained everyone’s attention in the piano academy instantly.

She had a cold domineering aura despite looking around 24 years old!

“Hello, Miss. Are you looking for a piano?” Quincy who was watching the scene greeted her hurriedly. She dared not to neglect a customer who came with a Ferrari.

Doug recognized the woman and approached her before she could answer. He greeted her as he chortled, “Hey, isn’t this Ms. Quinn? Do you like the piano? I own this place, just pick any piano that you like!”

She raised her red lips and uttered, “No.” She threw her gaze to Kaiden and continued at a slow pace, “I’m here for my brother!”
