Create my version of this story
I’m on the cusp of graduating Oxford University with First Class Honors and all the secondary benefits that come with it—the clerkship at one of the best law firms in the United Kingdom, an internship with a Supreme Court judge, and a book deal to publish my thesis.
But the most important thing is that I’ve already been invited to all the best parties in London, and wealthy benefactors have asked me to join their organizations.
The Blackwood family may be unknown in London, but I’m making sure my name is known before I even graduate.
And it’s just the beginning.
My ultimate goal is to become the Queen’s Royal Counsel, the youngest person to have ever achieved the position.
I know I can do it, too.
I’ve beaten all odds so far and this is just another stepping stone on my path to success.
The funny thing is, if you’d asked me if I thought I would be here ten years ago, I would have laughed in your face.
I grew up in a small village in Scotland.
I didn’t have much growing up, but I had my father and my sharp wit and intellect.
My mother had left us when I was born, leaving my father and me to fend for ourselves.
We did what we could.
My father taught me everything he knew about history and science, while I took advantage of the free education system to learn English and math.
I was lucky enough to be able to attend one of the best public high schools in Scotland, where I was able to expand my horizons even more.
It was there that I began to dream about leaving my small town behind and joining the elite at Oxford University.
And if I could accomplish that goal, nothing would ever stop me from climbing to the top of society.
So here I am, about to graduate law school at Oxford University, an institution that has been around for over a thousand years, armed with ambition and the skills to achieve my goals.
The first time I arrived at Oxford University for school, I was determined not just to survive among the elite students there, but to thrive.
I was on my way to becoming a barrister at Gray's Inn and there was nothing that would get in my way.
I had always been quick on my feet and able to read people easily.
And with my dark hair, green eyes, and sharp jawline, it wasn’t too hard to convince others to listen to me.
Looking back on it now, I realize that it was my cunning nature that made me able to navigate among the elite as well as I did.
It also helped that I was Scottish through and through.
Growing up in a small village in Scotland as one of the few non-white children had taught me to use my appearance to my advantage.
And with my dark hair and green eyes, I had no trouble blending in.
But it was my intelligence that allowed me to rise above all of those people and make a name for myself at Oxford.
And now, as I’m about to graduate from law school with top honors, I have every reason to believe that I am on my way to achieving all of my goals.
I know how much the other students here admire me.
Once you enter into this world, it’s easy enough to see who your competition is and who you need to eliminate.
It also helps that the younger students follow us around like puppy dogs.
Even the ones who aren’t all that interested in law or academia know that they will have to make connections at school if they want any chance of having a successful career after graduating.
And I have no doubt that many of them look up to me as one of their best chances at climbing up the social ladder.
I’ve already picked out a few who I plan on inviting to London once they graduate so that they can work under me at my firm.
They may think they’re using me to get ahead now, but they’ll soon find out how wrong they are.
Not only will they owe me for getting them their first job out of school, but they will also have no idea how easy it is for someone as intelligent as me to manipulate them into doing whatever it is that I want.
At thirty years old, the thought of settling down with one woman has crossed my mind more than once.
Although it’s nothing more than a passing whim.
I don’t need to be tied down to any woman in order to make my way in the world.
In fact, it would probably be more beneficial for me to keep my options open so that I can marry into money once the time comes.
I have no doubt that my sharp wit and intelligence will carry me to heights far beyond what most people can even dream of.
I was the top student in my class all throughout law school, and there’s no reason to think that will change once I begin working as an attorney.
I will take over my father’s firm when the time comes, but not before showing him how much smarter and wealthier I am than he ever could have been.
No, being average is not something that comes naturally to me.
I was born to do great things, even if it means leaving the competition in my dust as I make my way to the top of the legal world.
As the other students file out of the lecture hall, I take a moment to look down at the notes from my last class before closing my notebook and shoving it back into my briefcase.
I’m done with Oxford for good.
It feels good to be able to say that, especially since I know how many of my fellow students don’t feel the same way about our time here.
For them, this is just another step on their way to achieving their goals, but for me, this was just the beginning of what promises to be an illustrious career.
I’m already scheduled to begin my clerkship in September, which will last for two years before I begin working as an attorney at one of the best firms in London.
Most people work their entire careers before even being considered for the Queen’s Royal Counsel, but my ambition knows no bounds.
I plan to be the youngest QC in the history of the British legal system, even if that means having to work twice as hard as my peers to get there.
Not that I think that will be necessary, though.
My applications for clerkships have already been submitted to the most prestigious judges in the country, and I have no doubt that I will get the one that I want more than any of the others.
It’s true that there are only six spots available for the twelve people who applied to work for Justice Rayburn next year, but I know that I am the best of the bunch.
All of my grades are perfect, I’m in the top five percent of my class here at Oxford, and my connections are better than anyone else here, even those who come from much wealthier families than I do.
The thing about law school is that it’s not enough to be smart if you want to make it as an attorney or judge.
You also have to know the right people, which just happens to be another one of my specialties.
I smile as I remember all of the students who thought they could take me on during our years here at school.
They didn’t stand a chance against me, even though they were convinced that they were going to overshadow everything that I had accomplished.
But I was smarter than them then, and I’m smarter than them now.
They’re going to have to get used to looking up at me when we begin our careers in only a few short months because there’s no way that any of them can match what I’ve already done here at Oxford.
I may not be much to look at with my dark hair and piercing blue eyes, but I’m going to be the man that everyone else here wished they could be .
The men will want to be my friend because of how rich and powerful I am, and the women will want to sleep with me because of how good I am in bed.
It’s just the way of the world.
My first clerking position is going to begin in only a few short months, and it’s going to change everything that everyone else thought they knew about me.
I may not have much in common with any of my fellow students, but there’s one thing that we can all agree on: legal practice is going to be a completely different animal than any of us have ever encountered before.
I’ve read that your time as a law clerk can either make or break your career, depending on who you’re working for, so it’s crucial that I do whatever it takes to make sure all of my applications are perfect.
I can’t afford to make a mistake now, not when everything is finally starting to fall into place.
It’s going to be difficult working for so many different judges over the next few years, but it’s nothing that my sharp wit and cunning intelligence won’t be able to handle.
In fact, it might just be the perfect way for me to show everyone else how much better than them that I truly am.
I’ve always been more intelligent than every other student in my classes, more ambitious, more determined, more willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
It’s not that I don’t like other people; it’s just that there isn’t anyone else on my level.
That’s why everyone else spends so much time trying to figure out how to get ahead, while I spend all of my time trying to stay there.
It’s my natural state, after all.
I was born to do more than anyone else could ever dream of doing.
And it’s time for me to start showing everyone else who I really am.
I’ve spent far too much time making nice with all of these idiots at Oxford, but soon we’ll all be out in the real world, working our way up the ladder however we can.
And when that day comes, they’re going to wish they had never met me.
Alexander Blackwood may have hidden his true self from the world for far too long, but now that he has his chance, he won’t be known as anything other than the most powerful man in England.
I am a man who is used to getting everything that he wants.
From the time I was a boy living in a small village in Scotland and dreaming of the day when I wouldn’t have to share a bathroom with my parents anymore, I knew that I was meant for greatness.
Everyone around me was convinced that I would never amount to anything more than a high school teacher or small-town lawyer, but they were wrong.
It was clear from the first time I stepped foot on the campus of Oxford University that this was where I was meant to be.
It was only a matter of time before I proved myself better than everyone else around me, and now that the moment is finally here, I can’t wait any longer.
Today is the day that my life truly begins, when I get the chance to show everyone just who Alexander Blackwood really is.
If anyone else had been chosen for this opportunity over me, I would have been happy for them.
I would have been able to pretend that I was just as disappointed by my loss as everyone else around me.
But no one else was chosen, and no one else will get this chance.
After all, this is everything that I ever wanted.
My entire life has been spent pretending to be the kind of man who would be happy for someone else’s success.
I have been convinced for years that this day would come, and now that it finally has, I can’t help but smile.
It’s strange, really, the way that people respond to those around them.
The more that you succeed in life, the more that people are determined to tear you down.
It’s as though the rest of the world is convinced that there is only so much success to go around, and that if one person is given something good, then that means that something bad must happen to someone else.
But that is not how the world works.
The world is a place where men like me are able to achieve anything that we want.
It is a place where some people work for a living while others sit back and let everyone else do the work for them.
The world is full of people who are meant to rise to the top, and those who are meant to be forgotten among all of the rest.
And there isn’t a single person who believes in this idea more than me.
I have been preparing for this moment for years now, and it has always seemed as though there was something standing in my way.
But not anymore.
This is only the beginning, and there is no one in this world who can stop me from getting everything that I ever wanted.
My name is Alexander Blackwood, and today is the first day of the rest of my life.
Alexander Blackwood loved being underestimated.
There was nothing better in life than being able to sit back and watch as those around him were convinced that he was nothing more than an ambitious law student with no future ahead of him.
It was the only thing that he ever truly found himself enjoying in the world.
After all, it was easy to pretend to be something less than what he actually was.
He had been doing it for years, after all.
It was an easy thing to be able to convince people that he was nothing more than an over-achiever with no chance of success.
But Alexander Blackwood knew better.
He knew that he was destined for greatness.
From the time he was a boy living in a small village in Scotland and dreaming of the day when he would be able to leave his parents behind for something better, he knew that he was meant for greatness.
And now that the time has finally come for him to be able to prove himself to the world around him, Alexander isn’t going to let anything get in his way.
He has been preparing for this moment for years now, and there is no one in this world who is going to be able to stop him from achieving everything he has ever wanted.
It is clear from the very beginning that every single person who meets Alexander is able to see just how special he is.
There is something about him that sets him apart from everyone else around him.
He is smarter than anyone else around him, more ambitious than anyone else around him—and most importantly of all—he is willing to do anything to get what he wants.
I get up in the morning thinking about the news that they are going to appoint me Queen's Counsel next month.
These are the thoughts that are running through Alexander’s mind as he stands on the stage waiting for his name to be called.
It isn’t just about getting into Oxford University or even graduating with honors.
This is about becoming the best lawyer in the entire country—and there isn’t a single person in the world who is going to stop me from achieving everything I have ever wanted.
Alexander may not have been born into money or have the connections that so many other people around him seem to have, but that doesn’t matter.
He is willing to do whatever it takes in order to get what he wants, and nothing feels better than being able to prove himself to the world around him.
This is just another step on his path towards greatness, and Alexander can’t help but allow his mind to wander as he waits for his name to be called.
There are very few people in this world who are actually able to keep up with Alexander Blackwood.
He is smart—smarter than anyone else around him by far—and more ambitious than anyone else around him as well.
There isn’t a single person in the world who is going to be able to outsmart him or outmaneuver him when it comes to getting what he wants.
That includes Richard Althorp.
If Alexander is going to be able to become the best lawyer in the entire country, then he needs to be able to get the best clerkship in the entire country.
This is just one more hurdle in his way towards the ultimate goal of becoming Queen’s Counsel.
But Alexander isn’t worried.
In fact, he is actually looking forward to the competition.
There is nothing more exciting than being able to prove himself against people who are actually worth his time.
And when it comes to Richard Althorp, it is clear from the very beginning that he is one of the only people around who is actually capable of keeping up.
But Alexander isn’t worried.
He may be just as smart and just as ambitious as Alexander is—but that doesn’t mean he is going to be able to beat him at his own game.
After all, Alexander has been preparing for this moment for years now.
From the time he was a small boy dreaming of a day when he would be able to leave his parents behind and move on to bigger and better things, he knew that he was meant for greatness.
He knew that he was destined for something more than anything else around him.
The only thing that he has ever wanted was to be able to prove himself to the world around him.
Everything else is nothing more than a stepping stone along the path to greatness.
It is only a matter of time before he is able to achieve everything that he has ever wanted.
The clerkship is only the beginning.
There are no second chances when it comes to getting a clerkship in London.
There are only a few different firms that are worth working for in this entire city—and that means that there are only a few different positions available for people who want them.
The application process may still be months away—but that doesn’t mean that Alexander doesn’t already have a plan in place for how he is going to get what he wants.
First and foremost: he has already prepared himself to get whatever recommendation he needs from whoever he wants.
Whether it be a teacher or another lawyer—he knows that there isn’t a single person in this entire city who isn’t willing to give him the recommendation that he needs.
Secondly: he has also already made sure that he has done better than anyone else in his class academically.
But unfortunately, I was murdered
And he knows that it is only a matter of time before he is able to make sure that he does better than anyone else in the class in any other way as well.
It doesn’t matter how intelligent Richard Althorp may be—Alexander knows that he will always be able to outmaneuver him and outsmart him.
No one is going to be able to stand in his way when it comes to getting what he wants.
“Would anyone like to provide a critique of Professor Miles’ views on the relationship between legal theory and legal practice?”
Alexander Blackwood knew that this was the moment that he had been waiting for all day long.
The tutorial sessions were the main reason why Alexander had decided to come to Oxford University in the first place.
It was the best way that he knew of being able to show off his superior intellect and outperform everyone else around him—without making it obvious that he was even trying to do so.
Not that it even mattered if people knew what he was doing anyway.
There wasn’t a single person around who would ever be able to beat him at anything, no matter what he did or how hard they tried.
It just so happened that Oxford University was widely considered to be one of the best universities in all of Europe, which meant that there were plenty of people around who would be willing to challenge Alexander just for the chance at coming out on top.
Luckily for them, they were never going to stand a chance at coming out on top.
Alexander had known that from the very beginning—and it hadn’t taken him long at all to start proving himself right.
Which meant that Althorp had better watch out.
Alexander knew that he already had the upper hand over everyone else in the room.
He had already been able to prove that he was better than most of the other students in the room when it came to essays and exams.
And when it came to the students who were actually worth his time?
Well, they weren’t even close to being on the same level as him.
Alexander Blackwood knew that he was better than all of them—and that there wasn’t a single person in the room who would be able to prove otherwise.
Especially not when Alexander was already in such an advantageous position.
Richard Althorp may be the most competitive person that Alexander had ever met—but that didn’t mean that he wasn’t willing to sit back and take in all of the information before he decided to make a move for himself.
After all, he had nothing but time on his hands.
Alexander just sat back and watched as Althorp and the others debated Althorp’s argument on legal theory, which rested on the principle of natural law.
About half an hour ago, Althorp had demanded that someone come up with a rebuttal for the argument presented by Professor Miles, who had written their textbook on legal theory.
Just as Alexander had expected, no one had been brave enough—or stupid enough—to step up and try to take Althorp down.
Alexander knew that he had been right not to say anything earlier.
After all, if nobody else could come up with a counter-argument, then Alexander’s rebuttal would be able to win him even more brownie points.
Which was why Alexander didn’t hesitate at all when he put up his hand and waited for Althorp to call on him.
Althorp reluctantly obliged, and Alexander knew that he was just seconds away from delivering the killer blow.
The exact same thing happened when Alexander had been in this exact same predicament before—and he had been more than happy with the outcome of that scenario for himself, even though he knew that the others around him had been left feeling more than a little bit unsatisfied by the results that had come from that earlier encounter.
But Alexander wasn’t like the others.
He was much better than they were—much smarter, much more careful, and much more strategic when it came down to it.
Which was why Alexander knew that he was going to be the one who came out on top once again.
“Actually,” Alexander began speaking, “I think that you’ll find that the entire argument falls apart when you consider the fact that there’s no such thing as an eternal law.”
The room fell silent almost instantaneously—apart from Althorp, that was.
The other boy sneered at Alexander and shook his head slightly.
“Are you sure about that?”
he asked him questioningly.
Because it seems to me as though you’re just grasping for straws.”
But Alexander didn’t let Althorp’s arrogance get the best of him—because he knew that he was just moments away from coming out on top once again.
“I’m sure,” he said calmly.
“Because I know exactly what I’m talking about.”
Richard Althorp rolled his eyes and scoffed at Alexander loudly.
“You’re just bluffing,” he said arrogantly.
“But I’ll humor you anyway—how exactly do you think that you know what you’re talking about?”
Alexander smirked slightly and held his ground, knowing full well that he wasn’t going to have long to wait until he was able to come out on top again and set everything right for himself.
