"Ah, so he's your brother. What's it like having a famous sibling?""Well, I'm not exactly a celebrity, so I wouldn't really know."Kendrick wasn't in the mood for a chat with Myles. He stood up abruptly. "I'm heading for a shower."Silence filled the dorm room as Kendrick left without making a stop at the bathroom.Before closing the door, he cast a deliberate glance at Zak lying on the bed. Then, standing in the corridor, he dialed a number on his phone. "Guess who I ran into today?""It's the guy you mentioned earlier, my roommate.""Yeah, I agree with you. Not much besides being good-looking.""..."After speaking without receiving any response, Kendrick felt perplexed. "Hey, bro?"Finally, the voice on the other end replied. "Got it.""What are you up to, bro? If you're busy, I'll hang up."Gerald placed the envelope he was holding on the table and gazed at his phone. "Not too busy. It's late; you should get some rest."As the call ended, he picked up the envelope again. To confi

Zak casually scrolled through the comments, his demeanor unfazed. However, the endless stream of text eventually wore him down, prompting him to set aside his phone and attend to the flowers in the vase. It was during this momentary break that he noticed a shift in the trending topics. Shortly after, a blogger swiftly uploaded a video from their past filming sessions together. The video subtly insinuated Zak's disregard for Gerald, capturing their exchanges in a subtly confrontational light. Despite this, Gerald's unwavering support for Zak during this ordeal was a testament to his genuine generosity. The collision between Juelz and Gerald marked a pivotal moment in the unfolding drama. The orchestrated campaign to besmirch Zak's character demanded significant effort and resources. Unfazed by the flurry of comments, Zak confidently reposted the video with a mischievous grin, playfully asking, "Anyone interested in an unedited video with crystal-clear audio? If so, I'm happy to shar

Juelz sighed deeply, bending down in a futile attempt to reach the bank card. Despite his best efforts, it remained just beyond his grasp. Frustrated, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly abandoned the wheelchair to retrieve it.His trembling fingers struggled to pick up the card from the ground, his nails painfully digging into his skin. After several agonizing minutes, he finally managed to grasp the card, a triumphant grin spreading across his face as he prepared to return to the wheelchair. However, his attempt to steady himself failed, and he toppled to the ground.Unfazed, Juelz chuckled as he lifted himself back into the wheelchair. "I'll keep my word and stay out of your sight."Pausing for a moment, he tentatively asked, "There's two hundred thousand in here, right?"Zak remained silent, his expression betraying no emotion.A sense of unease crept over Juelz as he locked eyes with Zak. "Are you deceiving me? Is there no money in here?""Who said there had to be money in the b

The car fell into a momentary silence before Daphne's voice pierced the quiet, her tone now more mysterious than before, a subtle smile gracing her lips as she began, "I remember, back then..." Zak anticipated her words. It was widely known that he had once pursued Daphne unsuccessfully, a fact acknowledged by both of them. Zak couldn't help but find the situation ridiculous. Could he have truly left such an impression on Daphne that, even after all these years and despite her being married, he couldn't shake her from his mind? Zak chuckled before interjecting, "Daphne, what are you trying to say?" Daphne's voice trailed off. "I simply acted out of a sense of duty, giving you a ride home. Do you honestly believe I still have feelings for you? Please don't misunderstand; I would extend the same courtesy to a stranger in need." Zak said. Daphne struggled to find her words, prompting Zak to add, "I've long moved on from the uncertainties of my youth." When coupled with the word "you

Daphne's mind floated back to the scene of Zak's departure seven years ago, her heart tore painfully, as if a thousand ants plopped down from the soles of her feet and gnawed at her heart, she gasped heavily in pain, her eyes, which were already burnt red, became even redder, she lifted up the quilt, put on her slippers and chased after him out the door, she knew that she couldn't be left alone in that dead house, there was no way that she could stand it.Her voice was soft and polite, the teacher above her head kept staring, Zak had to throw the love letter back into the drawer and pretend to listen to Daphne."In fact, I've looked for one, but I resigned within two days, those jobs... are not suitable for me.""I just thought you might not have gone far, and that I might be able to retain you if I came down." Daphne tilted her head sideways, only then seeing Zak's car parked off to the side, chagrined that she should have realised sooner and not...She obeyed and didn't move, only f
