Chapter: Chapter 110"I think we should consider them and not just kick them to the curb. You can't host everything all at once." Josh said tentatively, staring at me after the meeting ended. I didn't think I had anything to say to them besides the fact that they should realize so many things had happened and it was my duty to keep to my grandfather's words. "I don't think I quite follow. If you have anything to say maybe you should go ahead and stop talking in parables." "I mean don't keep on incuring enemies for yourself when you can just give them what they want." He advised. Josh knew nothing about running a business, I guess that it was more like a charity because of the kind of person he was. "What do they want? To take half of the proceeds while doing nothing I'm still expecting me to go on with the wrong figures they have been playing with? Of course, you have all people know that I would not get involved in such stupid matters.""I would rather sit here and find a solution myself than we can

Chapter: Chapter 109"This is how the plans have been drawn from the beginning and no one dares to change it." I showed them the sketch my grandfather made shortly before his passing. "According to the lines drawn over there, I have seen that he wanted a certain percentage to be given to certain people and not the way you are trying to share this and make us feel like we do not know what we talking about." Mr Beckley spoke up again. I guess I was going to have to read out some of the greedy people. "If you understand the lines pretty well, you would also realize that it leads up to utilizing half of my money. If I spend half of my money getting this contract, how do you suppose I am supposed to share the profits?" I asked with a smile, waiting for him to answer. The answer was pretty evident, but what good would it be if I didn't make them understand that they were only trying to make money off this without having any long-term plans? I, who had one, was going to cash out of this and get all that I co

Chapter: Chapter 108The Draft. I stood before the podium the next day, addressing my partners, "Good morning, everyone; I have received the news of the scandals circulating the blogs, and I must ensure that my partners also understand that this is not something I wanted to happen." I began.A few elderly copartners looked at one another, not expecting the line of conversation my statement was taking. If there was anything I had learned from my grandfather, it was to be in control of every situation I found myself so therein lay true strength. If I shook just one big blow, then I probably didn't have what it took to rule over people who were ready to take me out. A few people couldn't bear my nonchalant statement and decided to murmur. "If anyone has anything to say, I think this is the best time to address it, or we remain silent after," I mentioned. Not everyone was entitled to explanations, especially on my end, because I had a lot to deal with, which included just staying away and fighting my batt

Chapter: Chapter 107As soon as I opened the door at night, I knew that tragedy had struck. My grandmother stood with her hands akimbo staring at me as though I had killed a man. While that was figurative, I understood her point, she was pissed that a different accusation came up, and I was very reluctant to answer her query. "Hi, Grandma. What have I done again this time?" I inquired from her stylishly, hoping to hear her side of the story and know how to begin to beg her to listen to me not because I was guilty but because I didn't want to see her unhappy. She sighed softly, "I don't understand why everything is happening all at once and you seem to be enjoying the attention you are getting. Does this mean that you love the stupid news about you online? You and I know that you are not that kind of a person why do these people keep coming after you?" She asked. I shrugged, "because they can. I have become a celebrity overnight and it's their only way of showing that they love me. I can't fault them fo

Chapter: Chapter 106A few months ago I would have jumped to defend myself, but as someone who has faced different propagandas, I had come to realize that most of these people enjoyed saying things that would lead me into more problems and it was my duty to ride on that and make it into PR. Josh kept calling my phone and I kept on ignoring the call. I was of the opinion that if I wasn't guilty then I didn't need to be afraid whenever lies were spread about me. I watched Annie try as much as possible not to stare at me in confrontation because of our relationship. Her attitude was going to determine if I was going to entrust her with so much or little. This was just the beginning of the various things I was going to face as the time went on so she needed to be prepared. Annie lost patience after some and texted me. “What is it I hear about you having intercourse with a strange person? Why aren't you even addressing it? Do you think that no one was going to find out?” Okay… this was about to be an avala

Chapter: Chapter 105A Month Later, Life had been good to me because I had reshuffled everything that wasn't in the right position and decided not to allow things to bother me anymore. Annie was recovering nicely, and Mikky had learned not to interrupt me especially when I went to school. I had become the Golden student, and he was relegated to just being some problematic student. He was mandated to repeat his exams especially the one Mr Braxton had helped him with. I knew he was going through a lot but who cared? Definitely not me. I loved the flow and wouldn't change anything besides just upping my game. Josh and I were also having a lot more wins this time around and I was glad to see my friend finally smiling. I knew that it was always the calm before the storm, but I was trying to build more capacity to handle the hit whenever it came. I hadn't finished speaking before I received a message from my friend in class. "I think you need to see this information circulating social media. My best bet is

Jason and the Enigmatic System
Jason had always been bullied by Dominic and some other tough kids at school, but he didn't let it bother him much. He had something that made him happy - Sophia, one of the hottest girls on campus. He often wondered why she chose him.

Chapter: EpilogueThe last ten months with Paulina have been incredible, way beyond what I ever imagined. Every day feels like a new adventure, and even our quiet times are filled with happiness.Still, I can’t help but worry about the Enigmatic System being gone and whether I played a part in that. It was the reason I got to where I am now, and I feel a real connection to it. It’s tough knowing I couldn’t help it, but can a system really be more than just a bunch of codes?I’m not the only one feeling this way; the whole team is mourning the loss since their systems shut down around the same time. No matter how cutting-edge our tech is, it just can’t match the unique intelligence of the system.As I sat in the living room, I opened up to Paulina, who was snuggled up next to me, really listening."I can’t shake this feeling, Paulina," I confessed. "I know it sounds odd, but it feels like I’ve lost a piece of myself. You get it; you were part of it too."She gave my arm a comforting squeeze. "I totally

Chapter: Chapter 221: Perfect ProposalAfter we got ready, we strolled hand in hand, with Paulina playfully urging me to spill the beans, but I just couldn’t do it. It was a surprise, and I wanted to keep it that way. We left the VIP room, and a staff member gave me a knowing look before leading us down a hidden hallway. Paulina’s eyes were wide with curiosity as we moved away from the usual crowd. At the end of the corridor, we passed through a sleek, unmarked door that opened up to a private elevator.Paulina squeezed my hand, her eyebrows shooting up in excitement. “Jason, what’s happening? This feels like something out of a movie!”I just smiled and stayed quiet, relishing the suspense that was making her even more curious. As the elevator doors closed, I could feel her gaze on me, searching for hints I wasn’t ready to give away.When the doors finally opened, we stepped out onto the rooftop, and there it was—a stunning black helicopter waiting for us, its blades shimmering in the sunlight, with the pilot already on st

Chapter: Chapter 220: How Much She Meant To MeAs Paulina rested peacefully on the bed, her sleeping face looked even more beautiful than I always knew. In the luxurious VIP suite, surrounded by plush decor and soft lighting, I felt a strange blend of tranquility and anxiety. I wandered over to the mirrored table where the ring I had bought on credit from that Enigmatic System sparkled softly in the glow. Holding it up, I couldn’t help but admire its detailed craftsmanship. The ring was so shiny and seemed transparent, capable of absorbing light. The several beautiful and unfamiliar stones around it made it more beautiful. My eyes sparkled with admiration, but the silence from the Enigmatic System was palpable and a bit unsettling. Not a single word or sound all day, which felt odd. Was it giving me space because I was with Paulina and it understood my plight? Or had my time with it somehow made it feel... more human? That thought left me feeling both intrigued and cautious.I shook off those thoughts; there were more urgent iss

Chapter: Chapter 219: A Night to RememberThe restaurant buzzed with energy as we arrived. Soft ambient lights wrapped around us, and the rich aroma of gourmet dishes filled the air. As we walked in, I could feel the gaze of other diners on us, and I welcomed it. This was my moment—a chance to reveal the man I had become.“Welcome back, Mr. Lewis!” The hostess greeted me with a warm smile. “Your usual table?”“Yes, please,” I replied, glancing at Paulina. She looked radiant in her elegant dress, her beauty captivating. I felt a surge of pride to be with someone as remarkable as her.er.We were guided to a cozy corner table adorned with fresh flowers and flickering candles. As we settled in, I couldn’t help but admire Paulina. “You look stunning tonight,” I said, reaching across the table to take her hand.“Thank you, Jason. You look charming too,” she replied, her smile lighting up the dim room. “I love this new confidence in you—it’s inspiring.”“Confidence comes with knowing my true worth,” I replied, feeling a surge of emp

Chapter: Chapter 218: ConfrontationThe tension in the boutique thickened as I faced every John and the woman employee. My coronary heart raced, no longer out of worry but from the boiling anger that surged through me. Here I grow to be a modified guy who has risen from the depths of despair, and those two have been the reason for dragging me back down. "Listen right here," I commenced out, my voice steady but laced with authority. "You haven't any idea who you're talking to. I may have been the underdog, however I’m no longer that character. I will no longer stand idly with the useful resource of while you belittle me or my female friend."John laughed, a mocking sound that echoed through the boutique. “Oh, what are you going to do? Throw a tantrum? You do not scare me, you little peasant. You have to be thankful that a person like her even seems your way.”Paulina had subsequently discovered the commotion. She strode over, her expression moving from interest to venture. “What’s going on right here?” she demanded, eyes

Chapter: Chapter 217: ProposalAfter picking the case up I tucked it away in my pocket and it to the sitting room. I saw Paulina in the sitting room pacing about. Obviously, she was a bit nervous about the date she was going to have with me. At this moment she didn't look like the bold and confident woman I used to know."Sorry for keeping you waiting," I said with an apologetic smile. "I had to do something.""I know," Paulina flashed a smile at me. She actually understood I could suddenly become busy at times because I was a player."So let's go shopping," I said as I grabbed her right hand and led her out of the sitting room. We got into my expensive Mercedes Benz and drove away.I decided to stop at a five-star boutique and get some new clothes and jewelries which we were going to wear tonight for our date. I'd already set up everything except for the clothes.As expected the boutique premise was already filled with so many flashy cars. Many wealthy people usually came to buy their wears from this boutique. It
