"Maybe you should go earn some real money, Eddie. After all, that's how the world operates." Eddie stared at Eunice, his face a mix of pain and betrayal. "You've betrayed me, Eunice. All for what? For someone with more money?" His voice wavered. "I thought you had changed." "You're right, maybe it only happens in books and movies, but believe me, my success will outshine any grass-to-grace tale ever written or depicted on screen." Eddie, a hardworking orphan at Aveston University, is used to being overlooked and mocked, especially by his girlfriend Eunice's best friend, Tasha. Despite his struggles, Eddie gives everything for Eunice, only to discover she's cheating on him with Nathan, a wealthy and influential student.

As Eddie rises to the top, he navigates betrayal, tragedy, and love, ultimately finding happiness with who loves him for who he is, not his money. "From San Roman, down to his son. They will go on their knees!"
"Oh, look at you, Eddie. Scrubbing toilets again. How stupid." Eddie scrubbed the lime-crusted basin, his hands raw and aching, when a voice he hated so much cut short his peaceful moment.
Eddie could see the voice owner from the rear of his eyes– Tasha, his long-time enemy since he got a scholarship into the school.
Even though Eddie has never for once liked Tasha because of her manipulative character, she is a close friend to his girlfriend, Eunice Lemar.
Tasha succeeded in turning Eunice from the once sweet, innocent girl who would go to any lengths in order for Eddie to feel loved to the materialistic girl who wouldn't let any minute of his go without threatening to leave him for another guy if he couldn't give her $400 weekly.
The firm that sponsored his scholarship to the University of Aveston was also sponsoring his essential needs up to his feeding.
The only thing that made him resort to washing the campus restrooms was to meet up with his girlfriend's excessive wants.
Eddie pretended not to acknowledge Tasha's presence as he continued scrubbing the lime-scaled wash hand basin with determination.
"How on earth would someone be this ill-fated?" Tasha repeated and this time, she successfully got Eddie's full attention.
"What's your problem, Tasha? Why are you so obsessed with ruining my peace, anytime, anywhere?" Eddie said, totally infuriated.
"Obsessed? Did I just hear you say I'm obsessed?" Tasha laughed aloud. "You must be joking, toilet cleaning boy."
"Then leave, you can see I'm very busy here." Eddie retorted. He was not having it.
"Relax, poor boy. I've looked for you in the whole school only to remember that you would be here in the toilet area, trying to impress your ungrateful girlfriend." Tasha said clumsily, as she folded her arms.
"Don't talk about my woman like that!" Eddie rushed at Tasha, sticking his index finger to her face. "Don't make me do to you, things I might regret later."
"Oh dear, your threats are just as weak as your wallet. I will forgive you for that filthy finger you're pointing. Well, I just wanted you to come see for yourself what is happening outside. I promise it will make your day, your month, even your entire existence, you will never forget this experience." Tasha pressed.
"I don't care what on earth is happening on the school premises, Tasha." Eddie insisted "Please go away from here, I need to finish this washing before they come to inspect it."
"It's about your girlfriend. She is the talk of the school right now." Tasha smirked. "Aren't you hearing the noise coming from outside, cameras are even witnessing this, it's even going to be posted on the campus platform on Whatsapp."
"But why?" Eddie queried, his tone softening as he started to take interest. "What is happening? Did she harm anyone? Did she insult any professor again?"
"Far more than that, Edd. Come see for yourself." Tasha urged, a mischievous glint registered on her face.
"You wouldn't like the other side of me if all these turned out to be a lie, Tasha." Eddie frowned. "Go on, I will walk there by myself. I can't let people see me walking with someone like you."
"Suit yourself, poor boy." Tasha's words trailed off as she left the toilet area.
"Please be fine, my dear Eunice. Please stay safe for me." Eddie murmured as he also went out to the campus premises.
On getting out of the toilet, Eddie was flabbergasted at the number of students gathered around the campus garden beside the school parking lot, something seemed to excite them as their cheers and 'awwnns' could be heard clearly from a few metres away.
"Could Eunice be the reason for those cheers, let me go take a look. My woman must have done something very proud enough to make that crowd gather.
As he started walking to the scene curiously, a hand quickly grabbed his shirt and pulled him back! It was Phil, his roommate and closest buddy.
"Hey man, let's go take a look at what's happening over there!" Eddie said, pointing to the crowd before him. "I wonder who they are cheering for." He chuckled.
Phil looked at the crowd and frowned before looking back at Eddie. "No, pal. Let's just go to the hostel. You wouldn't want to see that!"
Eddie became suspicious. Phil wasn't smiling like someone who inhaled laughing gas like he usually does anytime they were together. He had a stern face like something awful was happening.
"I don't understand you, man! I wanna see what's happening over there!" Eddie pulled himself from Phil's grip and began walking towards the crowd.
"Edd, come on! Let's go! You wouldn't like..." but Phil's voice trailed into the background noise.
Eddie struggled to find his way through the crowd when he started hearing everyone screaming 'Eunice!'
'Eunice, say yes!!'
'Eunice, please say yes!!!'
Eddie was initially confused but this confusion was finally drowned when he saw everything clearly.
His eyes bulged out as soon as he saw Eunice, his girlfriend, covering her face and smiling childishly as Nathan San Roman, the richest guy on the campus, was about to slide a ring into her finger.
