“What’s with this ridiculous set up?”Haze turned to face his pretend sister, tilting his head to the side as he frowned, “This is not ridiculous.”Maxine wasn’t impressed.“Just so you know, I wore this attire to my first public play and struck a two million contract with the Red Riot Beverages with ease. I might look ridiculous, but Nameless is far too superior!”The sharp-eyed teen huffed, crossing her arms in disbelief. “Whatever. I’m only here for Mr. Reid anyway.”That was right – Haze and the Peanut Slayers got an invitation to an exhibition match in the Heroes Domain’s Player League. The team they were playing against was headed by a young, social media celebrity, Thomas Reid.Somehow, Haze found out he was the only person who could make Maxine spend a whole day scrolling on her feed and waste her time.“But, wait,” Maxine narrowed her ey

That thing Nathan Wolfe said still rang in Haze’s head even after hours had passed and the night ended. He couldn’t rest.They could be twins.Cassius and him.They could be twins, for all they know, but nothing was clear. How could he know?What did Cassius say to him again, that night when he first appeared, dying in his arms?Something about–He couldn’t remember. Either it was unimportant or Elaine did something while he was under hypnosis. He already forgot that the hypnotherapy easily went twice more than he remembered, it was no big deal to make him forget one random sentence a stranger said to him once.If Elaine truly made him forget about that too, then the betrayal had gone past than he guessed. It was the worst.‘Ring!’Haze looked at his phone, seeing the reminder that he had set for today. He had to get ready for a very important first meeting today. Soon, a grin bloomed

All alone by herself, Elaine tried to keep the dark thoughts away from her mind.In all honesty, she didn’t mean to betray Haze like that. She wasn’t a back-stabbing bitch like how he saw her now. At first, what she pulled at the hypnotherapy session was unplanned. She didn’t even think she could do something like that.However, when she successfully did that while Haze remained oblivious, she decided to take the dirty path. She needed to know everything that happened between Haze and Cassius. It was important to her.She did everything she could to have her best life. From getting a full scholarship and securing a well-paid job before her graduation, to working under such an influential family with successful business. Her life was well-planned, all according to her need and want.Of course, to reach that goal, she needed to sacrifice many things. Her free time, losing touch with her friends, and also some part of her private life. But

Approaching Leonard, she wanted to check if what she found out was the truth. “Haze is your biological son, am I correct?”The question caught both Leonard and old Jeremy off guard. So it was true. It was a well-kept secret, one that no one was supposed to find out. Let alone by her.Nonetheless, Leonard smiled at the end. “You came here just to check on it, so I assume you already found out everything.”“Maybe.” Elaine said, then added as if in afterthought, “Sir.”“How did you find out?”“You taught me that I shouldn’t disclose my source of information, sir.”Leonard contemplated her statement for a while. He couldn’t fault her, for what she said was the truth. He knew he taught her well to be Cassius’s assistant – to be his heir’s right hand person. “Then, there is only one thing I need to know. Did he know?”This time,

It had been three days since Haze locked himself in Cassius’s old bedroom in the hill house.Elaine had been knocking on his door repeatedly every time, but he refused to open it for her. She could easily pick the lock, but turned out she respected his wish for a bit of privacy and time to process everythings.Thankfully, the maid kept coming up to his door with food. He would only open the door to get it and put the dirty plates away. Other than that, he locked the door shut.At some point, Maxine came to him, banging and demanding that he open the door for her, but he didn’t have the energy to deal with the sharp-eyed teen. She threatened to break the door, but Elaine talked her out of it for him.Even after three days, everything still weighs heavily on Haze’s head. He didn’t know where to start untangling the messy strings that was his life. Everything connected, and he couldn’t process it.All this time, Leonard k
