Synopsis
Bang! His world crumbled around him as the phone slipped from his trembling fingers, landing softly on the ground with a thud. An overwhelming rush of horror engulfed him, leaving him in an immovable state. “Why?” His voice was dry and hoarse. “Why them? Why?!” On the eve of his graduation, Trevor's family had died in a plane crash, and as if that wasn't enough, he was made to look like the real killer.....a mere pawn in a scheme for the inheritance. He was stripped of all his properties and assets, cast out by the remaining family members to fend for himself while debt collectors hovered over him like vultures. How will John fare? Will he succumb to despair, or will he rise up and fight back?

Chapter 1 - The Night Before 1

Sweesh sweesh!

The curtain swung gently and gracefully driven by the cool morning wind the golden warm rays of the spilling through the gaps lighting up the room revealing the cool splendour of the room the brown reddish furniture coupled golden yellow paints on the wall created a warm minimalist setting.

Hmm~

On the huge bed which can comfortably and successfully accommodate twelve people a figure moved under the blankets shifting slightly here and there

Ring ring! Ring ring!

An alarm clock rang on the side table displaying the time and some notes on its little screen

8 : 30 time to get up

Argh!

The figure groaned, a white arm reaching from under the cover hitting the top of the timer killing its chimes. Opening the top of the blankets the figure got down from the bed

He was about six foot two with a short black wavy hair reaching only to his chin, brown eyes, straight pointed nose , pink lips, angular chin overall handsome he was a little bit muscular but that was it.

He was still sleepy his hair tossled with a slightly frown on his face, pausing for a brief second the frown and sleepness wiped morphing into a smile he cheeks streching his face lighting up

And for why? And how?, let's go a bit into it

TREVOUR POV

My name is trevour and if you are wondering why I am so happy and excited, well it's because I finally get to graduate tomorrow yes you heard that right after five gruelling years of studying and the hard work I put in, I am finally graduating

And the icing on the cake is that my parents and elder brother are coming they are flying over to come and celebrate with me .God I haven't seen them in years

You may ask, Why? Are they not your parents? Don't you get breaks?

Well the thing is my mother and father are mostly busy all year round with business traveling here and there to finalize contract while my brother on the otherhand is just starting his own company

So yeah I don't really get to see them. But that doesn't dull the anticipation one bit...

Ring ring! Ring ring!

Turning I reached out grabbing my phone from the side table flipping to see who was calling

Mom!

Oh my mom is calling....I said picking

"Hello mummy good morning" I said my voice excited

" Hello son I can see you just woke up" an aged female voice came through the line the warmth from her voice radiating

"Yeah....ha..ha" I laughed sheepishly scratching cheek embarrassed

"No worries dear I just wanted to see how you are fearing" she said "erm and also we can't fly over this morning unfortunately but we will take the flight at night and arrive first thing in the morning"

".. ohh.....okay no...problem" I sighed I don't know why everytime I plan something it eventually goes wrong

" So sorry dear I know you have planned the whole day, but something urgent just came up. Don't be angry at mama" she pleaded

" No not at all...erm is elder bro coming" my voice expectant

" Sup twin, how are you doing " a deep voice rang out

" Ohh bro i..i..am great thanks you " I said stuttering a bit.

I always do this when ever I talk to him but he is a figure I look up to

Ranked first in SAT in the whole state, got into Harvard, at year three created a startup and made his first million, graduated with first class and proceeded to apply for masters.

"That's great, so sorry to disappoint you bud, but we will be there to celebrate with you tomorrow. Dad's in the bathroom so you can't hear from. Him have a great day" thank you bro I said. With me hearing his voice every grievances I had evaporated

"Bye dear" my mom said "Bye enjoy your day and rest!" I reminded her

" Oh I will ha ha" she laughed cutting the call "You always say that "murmured to no one in particular

Ha!

Sighing I dropped my phone on the bed getting up to shower and....

Arrhhhhhhhh! HollyFuck!

I got a fright!

"Jesus Christ unc you scared the shit outta me" I said clunching my chest my heart beating fast my body still trembling from aftershocks

I caught my uncle standing at the door arms folded with his reading glasses on just staring intensely at me. His gaze had this ominous feel to it.

" Er..erm...unc.. what are you staring at me for?" I said puzzled

"...." No answer

"Unc..." I began but didn't get to finish

" Get yourself cleaned up and me us downstairs for breakfast" he said before walking off like nothing hard happened

" Er...okay?..that was freaking weird!"

I was so startled by that still rubbing my beating heart i headed into the bathroom for a wash
