Christopher's heart hammered against his ribs, caught between the exhilaration of Evelyn's bold claim and the dread of its potential consequences. He stole a glance at Silver, her usually willful face contorted in a mixture of fury and disbelief. The revelation had provoked a firestorm in the hall, whispers crackling like flames.Evelyn, unaware of the unrest, held his gaze with a playful glint in her eyes. "So, Chris, do you care to introduce me to your lovely audience?" She purred, her voice laced with a mischievous lilt.Christopher cleared his throat, feeling the weight of a thousand eyes on him. He couldn't bring himself to lie, not with Evelyn looking at him like that. Yet the thought of revealing his secret—his hidden world of historical writings—filled him with a paralyzing fear.Those leather-bound journals tucked away in his attic, filled with meticulous recreations of forgotten battles and whispered tales of ancient civilizations, were his sanctuary. They were a world he'd

“Chris! Chris!” A male voice is calling out after him. Gerald runs at full speed after Christopher, who is already way out of sight towards the school hall.Catching up with Christopher, Gerald gallops to a halt and calls out again. "Chris!, wait!" We need to get a cab to the site. "We were out for a meal with Kelly and his girlfriend when the thugs came. I have no idea where they came from.""So, where are they now?" Christopher asks with more concern, and his left eye twitches. Looking down his left arm for a moment, he clenches his left fist to reveal his muscular arm. "I've no idea," Gerald responds blankly."I was only out with the duo to have my share of friendship, and in a millisecond, they were bundled up into a white Ferrari, and in another flash, it had already sped off."What could have been the reason for the embarrassing abduction of someone of Kelly's successful pseudo-calibre? Christopher wonders, lifting his head, trying to think out a solution fast to bring Silver, e

"Silver ?""Yes, handsome?" Silver responds with a seductive voice, trying to be alluring with her smile as much as possible.Silver is dressed in a thigh-length, hot red mini-sleeveless gown, exposing her shapely, sumptuous legs and curves. A silver necklace hangs on her neck, and this draws attention to her models like collar bone and full blossom. Her long, black, lush hair partly covers her face, and she makes a feminine effort to dress it aside. She wears magenta lipstick, and the dangerously seductive fragrance of her perfume quickly hit Christopher's nostrils once she walked in. She walks slowly towards Christopher in six-inch shiny silver heels, in the most torturous way a woman could be. Each meander towards Christopher made his eyes dazzle. She's sexy; he cannot deny the fact.Even though Christopher is moved by his ex-girlfriend's sexiness, he is still firm in his discretion."What brings you here? Why do you barge into my room without knocking first?" Christopher questions

“You see, there's an upcoming mega proposal pitching event that had been in the government's plan for months ago now.The plan is to invite business-minded individuals to pitch their ideas and get endorsements from investors and other forms of funding. However,there are selected niches that will be qualified for funding and investment, and any participant that pitches an idea from unincluded industries will not be qualified.”"How did you know so much about the business proposal event, Dad?“Have you forgotten that the rich must look for sustainable ways to get richer, my son? You seem to really underrate my influence and capacity," Mr. Frank said in a bass voice, and his bold laugh sounded rather like croaking."I know so many powerful officials in government; don't forget. I would have even bought the plan and saved myself the stress of guessing what the winning industries would be this year, but the secretary to the office lamented that the present governor is a no-nonsense man who

"Hello, young lady." Lorraine welcomes Stella, who is about her son Kelly's age. "How do you do?"."I am well, ma'am.".The two ladies quickly get acquainted with each other and cooperate to care for the ill Kelly.“Mr. Frank has employed me as his personal assistant since you traveled."."Oh, I see," Lorraine stated with confirmation of her ex-husband's dependent attitude in her mind."He can't do things by himself; he has to always call on another human being; even a crucial skill such as nourishing one's self is left in his case in the hands of someone else!" All these Lorraine said under her breath, keeping a serious facial expression, and loud enough for both her father and personal assistant to hear. Kelly and Frank can instantly decode Lorraine's communication, while Stella is left to wonder for minutes what the side comment was.Kelly is done clearing a plate of garnished chicken soup and leisurely eating an apple when Dr.Bernard returns into the room to give Kelly his last do
