GODDESS

"Why you..."

Plates, cups, and ornaments started flying across the room as they shattered into millions of pieces. As the drunken man continued to throw the stuff around the room, he screamed and continued to be violent with the boy.

“What do the f*ck do you think you doing?"

"Victor, please listen to your father." The woman pleaded and cried as he tried to stop the man from hurting the boy.

Victor cried and yelled as he could no longer control his emotions. "Mother, I told you a hundred times I don't have any money."

The man pushed the woman aside as he grabbed the boy by the collar and punched him. "You piece of sh*t don't you dare lie to me."

Victor collapse on the ground as the man continued to raise his fist at him. Seeing the blood coming out of Victor mouth, the woman panic as he grabbed the man away.

"Stop it or else you'll ended up killing him."

"I don't give a sht for a bstard son like him."

"Don't you dare say that, he is your son."

The man became furious seeing how persistent the woman was. "Shut up, b*tch..."

The woman was pushed aside as the man stormed out of the room without another word.

Victor quickly went to check on the woman as he helped her up. "Mother are you alright?"

"I'm fine..."

"Mother, what did he mean by that?"

The woman expression became pale as averted her gaze from the boy. "Your father is just drunk and angry, don't listen to what he said earlier. He is your father and you are his son."

"Mother, please tell me, are you even my mother?"

The woman was shocked from hearing what the boy just asked and could not control herself when she slapped the boy. "Victor I'm sorry... You are my son and I've raised you and loved you all this pass 21 years. So never ask me that again."

Victor was surprise that his mother actually raised her hand on him, she must have been hurt by what he just said causing him to feel guilty. "I'm sorry..."

The woman wiped the tears in her eyes. "I'll clean this up, you better go get ready for school."

"Okay..."

Victor quickly went back to his room and cleaned himself up. As he was opening his drawer, he notice the ointment Aristia gave him last time. He took it out and applied it on his wounds.

This ointment is really good, in just a couple of days my wounds would disappear. I wonder where Aristia got this? It must have cost a lot.

After Victor got change, he quickly headed out to school. When he arrived, a white maybach stop in front of the university gate. As students were about to enter the gate, they all stop and wonder who the person was inside the car.

Everyone screamed in excitement as the person of the car came out dazzling everyone with her beauty.

"It's Sophia, my dear goddess..."

"Goddess looks this way."

"Sophia please be mine."

Oh, it's Sophia Bai. Of course she'll own such luxurious car. Everyone sure loves her, not a guy in the campus doesn't like her even girls like her. Not only is she beautiful, she is also the daughter of a rich family at the same time the heiress.

If Aristia is known as the Goddess Athena for her brain, Sophia is known as Goddess Aphrodite for her beauty and charm to make everyone love her.

Whilst everyone continued to adore and praised the girl, Victor left as he ran to his class to start another dreadful day.

Before he could step inside the classroom, some called for his name.

"Victor."

Victor turned around notice the familiar voice, "Tia."

Aristia smiled despite how upset she was seeing how badly wounded the boy was in front of her.

His wound has not even healed up yet and now he got fresh wounds again. Victor, how do you survive all this pain...

"Have you finished what I asked you to do last time?"

"No worries, I've encoded everything for you. I'll transfer it to you during class." He replied, as they both entered the room.

Aristia smiled, pleased knowing despite his situation he neer fails to do whatever she asked. "Thanks Vicor, your really help me a lot compared to the council members."

On the way to their seat, Victor notice the icy glare he was receiving from everyone. He could hear them murmuring to each other as he continued to ignore them seeing Aristia did not care for them.

"Why the heck does Aristia continue to hang out with him."

"It's just because the Goddess feels sorry for him. He always come to school beaten up."

"Such a trash to be even attending our school."

It was already lunchtime, when Victor started roaming around the campus looking for a quiet place to eat. Normally, he would be eating with Aristia in the school council room but she was suddenly called by the teachers to discuss upcoming events along with the council members.

Victor was in deep thought as he was walking down the hall that he did not see where he was going and accidentally bump into someone.

"I'm sorry..."

Victor was stunned when he looked up and saw the girl right in front of him.

"Sophia."

"It's fine, are you alright?"

Victor quickly picked up his food seeing the person right in front of him. "I'm fine, sorry..."

"No worries, here..." the girl handed the sandwich he dropped on the floor back to him.

Victor smiled seeing the girl helping him out. "Thank you."

The girl became curious seeing the boy was all alone, "Aren't you normally with Aristia?"

"She busy with the council meeting right now..."

"I see..."

Seeing they have already started a conversation, Victor gather his courage and asked, "How about you?"

Sophia looked at the boy who seems to be tense and smiled, "I was looking for a quiet place to rest."

Victor felt embarrassed at the same time panic that he bother Sophia, "I'm sorry..."

Sophia watched as the man took off, but a few distance away the boy stops. He turned around and faced Sophia for the last time.

"You really are a Goddess..."

It surprised Sophia hearing the boy's remark, she didn't expect such words could even make her heart fluster all of the sudden. She smiled as she watches the boy vanished to the corners as she moved forwards as well.

Victor continued to run as fast as he could, his heart was beating so fast he can hear it's every beat. His mind could clearly picture out Sophia beautiful smile. Thinking about it made the boy fluster and red as a tomato.

As the boy continued to run in such pace, he did not notice the people he has passed by.

"I wonder what happened to Victor?" The girl wonder, as she continued to watch the boy run away whilst forgetting the people around her.

"Tia."

"Aristia."

Aristia who was in a daze after seeing Victor snap back to her senses when she heard the people around her calling for her attention. She turned around to face them and smiled, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"

"We were wondering if you want to join us for lunch?"

"Is something wrong Aristia?"

"I'm fine, sure let's go." Arisita replied as she continued to wonder about what she saw a moment ago.

It was already after school and all the students were heading home.

"Hey, Victor..."

Victor was surprised when someone suddenly called for him. When he turned around to see who the person was, he was such to see such elite heir calling for him. He ponders and worried why someone like him would want with him, for he was someone he can't offend. For his family is one of the most powerful families in the city.

"Master Chen, is there anything I can help you with?" Victor asked, as he averted his eyes from the boy.

Chen approach the boy who became tense at his presence, "We're you the one who did the encoding for Tia?"

"I did, did I do something wrong?" he asked, as he looked up and face the boy in front of him.

"Charles..."

Both of them were taken aback by the sound of the woman voice. They turned around to see who it was and saw a group of heirs from a distance.

One of the people was Sophia who capture Victor's eyes and could not help it but gaze softly at the girl.

Charles Chen was not pleased seeing how the boy was looking at the girl. He went ahead and approached the girl as he placed his hand around her waist, "Soph, what are you doing here?"

"Charles, we been looking for you." said the boy wearing glasses.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

The foreign-looking girl yelled furiously, "F*ck you Charles. Come on.. Don't tell me you forgot, it's your turn to treat us for dinner."

Charles Chen laughed seeing how the girl reacted, "I'm sorry, I forgot..." He then took a last look at the boy behind them. "Let's go..."

As the group all left Victor behind, the boy couldn't help it but be jealous of them.

I wonder what it would be like to be in their position? To hang out with such beautiful and handsome people.To diner with them in the best restaurant and go out all the time without any worries.

Victor continued to imagine himself in their position as he headed to his next destination. Along the way, he passed by different shop by the streets and cars passed by him. He clenched his fist as he could not help it but be upset about his life.

As Victor pushed opened the door, he was welcomed by everyone.

"Victor, welcome..."

"Gramps, sorry I'm late." He replied, as he greeted the customers as well.

"It's fine, Tia is at the back already. Go help her out..."

Victor headed to the back and there he saw Aristia who was busy doing the dishes. Compare to Sophia, Aristia was a simple girl, nothing special about her except she excels in everything, especially in academics.

"Tia, let me help you." Victor grab the apron and placed it around his waist.

Aristia notices the dark clouds around the boy. "Victor, is something wrong?"

"Nothing..." he smiled hiding all his burdens inside.

Whilst Aristia went to the front and help Gramps manage everything, Victor was left handle all the work at the back.

Victor step out to take the trash out.

When all of a sudden, someone hit him from behind causing him to collapse on the ground. He was unable to get up as he continued to receive kicks from different parts of his body.

"What a piece of trash."

"What should we do?"

"Let's leave him to rot..."

Victor vision was getting blurry but he can barely picture out the people standing in front of him.

This is it, I'm about to die without achieving anything in life. I haven't even told her that I love her. Why me? Why must I die like this when I haven't done anything wrong? This is just so unfair...

"Life was never fair to begin with..."
