"Cheers to the man who's going off the market!" Miguel yelled on top of his voice in excitement and ordered Rex to open another bottle of wine.Rex glanced at his watch and replied, "No more alcohol; keep your eyes on the road."Miguel ignored him, searching for the wine bottle, "Brother-in-law, today is your wedding day, and you are supposed to get drunk.""Hey, pay attention on the road!" Rex scolded him. "I think you ought to stop and let me take the wheel."Miguel scowled, "No way." His eyes were still in the car but kept darting back and forth on the road ahead, "My sister is going to kill me if I let you drive on your wedding day," he said."Be careful!" Rex yelled, but by the time Miguel turned to look back on the road, it was too late.A young boy was crossing the street, and in an attempt to avoid him, the car veered to the left and struck an old woman who was standing by the side of the road.As a result, the vehicle underwent two complete flips before coming to a stop on i

As she waited for the lawyer's call, Chelsea sat with her family. She kept pacing the room, her hands shaking and her heart pounding against her chest. Selena broke the tension, saying, "You should have gone to court to show your support. The love of your life just gave his life to save your crazy brother."Chelsea turned and stopped pacing around.She screamed, "Stop talking if you don't know what the word 'family' means to you!" Her phone rang, it was finally the lawyer and she answered it In a flash."Okay, thank you," and turned to face the family."They gave him five years," she announced. "That's great, better than ten years," Miguel joked and grabbed himself some wine as if the news he received was worth celebrating.Chelsea looked away, not sure how to react. Five years was a lot of years for her to wait for a man. She always wanted to get married in her twenties."So Chelsea are you back on the market?" her stepmother smiled.Chelsea glared at her and walked out of the roo

Rex paused his thoughts, waiting for the man to declare everything was a joke and that they were playing a sick joke on him. However, the elderly man had a serious face on.The director's phone beeped "DNA says you are not related, so you must be a doppelganger," he said and ordered Rex to make a decision."Everything is a Joke, right?" Rex finally spoke. The man warned, "Mr Grayson, with your pretty face, men will make a meal out of you. Therefore, my advice is to sign a contract with us.Rex swallowed hard, asking the man to show him his ID. He understood he already said who he worked for but he needed to be sure.The director removed his badge and gave it to Rex."What exactly does the NSA do?" he asked."More like the CIA but we have jurisdiction in the country and way above them," the old man smiled."So if I get this job, I will not save time?"The old man smiled again, "Yes and I think we are wasting time discussing your doubts," the director said and removed a contract fro

5 Years LaterFive years passed, but for Rex, it felt like an eternity, though the wounds of betrayal were still fresh, leaking of maggots.The rules at the NSA were strict; he was never to contact his family or Chelsea. He was not allowed to look them up or spy on them. If he was caught doing any of the above, he was going to be sent back to prison.It was never easy, but he pulled through it all, and after five years, he became one of the top NSA agents. He excelled in almost anything: martial arts, guns, spying, and most importantly, being rich.He managed to amass wealth that not even the NSA was aware of. They mostly gave him missions outside the country, which enabled him to build connections and make deals that he was making money on and putting into offshore accounts.Five years of saving and not touching money but investing and trusting the right people to invest the money, of which the profits were saved in offshore accounts,None of his business

Breathing heavily, Sydney slammed the door behind her, the sound echoing through the house. She desperately wished that he was a fraud, an impostor, and not her real brother.There was no way her compassionate brother, who always prioritized others over himself, would accept such a ridiculous offer from the government and abandon his family."He wouldn't do that," she kept telling herself as she threw herself onto the bed and began sobbing.Meanwhile, in the living room, Rex proceeded to tell his father about the deal he had made with the government. His father remained silent, his eyes fixed on the floor.Rex grabbed his father's hand and started begging, tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry, father. If I had known, I never would have taken that stupid test," he cried out.His father's eyes rose in a way that revealed the hidden sadness he was trying to conceal. "The good news is that you're back," the old man whispered. "That's what matters."In another room, Sydney went on
