2025-01-07 20:22:14"Teresa?!" Adrian finally found his voice, but he had to mention her name one more time before she could notice his presence. And even then, she didn't seem to care.
"Oh... Adrian". She mumbled nonchalantly. "What are you doing?" He was unsure of what else to say. His eyes were shooting red already, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Making out with my new boyfriend," she faced him again, smiling flirtingly. He could see Ricardo's face under the bright lights above them. He had an evil smirk printed all around, as if he had been waiting patiently for this day. He was the ladies man, the dream of every girl. And now, Adrian's Teresa included. Adrian still could not believe it. He had thought that even if every girl swoon over the Italian kid for his father's money, Teresa would certainly be different. Was he wrong all along? "But... Us..." He stammered and staggered, eyes fixed on Teresa. She only burst into a wild laughter which brought silence to the room as everyone directed their focus on them. "Us? You really think there was ever any 'us'? I was only with you for the benefits. You were a top student who seemed to know everything, I was a struggling student. So I stayed with you, only for the benefits. I thought you were smart but maybe you aren't smart enough to figure that out." Knees shook and lips shivered as he listened to her cruel words. He could not imagine that she would ever say those vile things. "So you used me all these while?" "Oh no, boy. You benefited from me too, Adyyy. People saw you around me, I'm sure that reduced your weirdness at least. Because trust me boy, without me, you wouldn't have survived a semester on this campus. I mean... Look around you, Adrian. Does anyone of us look like you?" She strolled around him, one arm on his shoulder and the other flying freely, pointing her fingers to every corner of the room and then back to him, the odd one out. The answer was obvious. Everyone else belonged to a super rich family. Everyone except Adrian. He was the black sheep. "What's this?" She took the wrapped box from him. He had cuddled it tightly so far just so he could give it to her. "Awwwnnn... You really got me a gift for Val? Is it the latest jewelry in town? Nah... You can't afford that. Probably just another fake diamond. I don't need your gifts, loser." The present flew back against his chest and into his hands, further deepening his wounds. Teresa cat-walked back to her new boyfriend and they locked in kisses again in front of him. Adrian heard whispers, gasps and laughter of mockery. Even the clapping of hands. Everyone probably thought he deserved this. "This is the best valentine gift ever..." His ears could hear the mockery. He really didn't want to hear any of that, but he did. "It looks like he's gonna cry..." "I would totally love to see that. What a simp! I have gotta have this on camera right now!" A guy pulled out his iPhone, recording. "Cry loser, cry!!" It seemed like eternity when they kissed. He wanted to leave, but his feet wouldn't move. They were rooted to the ground. When it was over, Teresa peered at him one more time. "You don't belong here, dear. Most importantly, you don't deserve me. Get out." She gestured with her head in a cold manner towards the door. Adrian's blood boiled. He couldn't just leave like that. Just like that? Strong hands pulled him from behind. It was the security men. Adrian struggled but they were stronger. They were about to throw him out when Ricardo commanded them to stop with a slight raise of his finger. Then he came slowly. "You know, Adrian. I really pity you. You are nothing but a charity case. That's the only reason you can attend the same school as us, the same parties as us. It's better you know your place. Did you really think you could keep a babe like Teresa? She's a queen around here, you know. You should be her slave." Ricardo stared into Adrian's eyes with disgust, occasionally placing his palm behind his neck and brushing his hair with a dismissive look on his face. He wanted to place his hand on Adrian's shoulder, then he stopped midway as if scared that Adrian carried a disease around. "You should focus on making loads of money so you won't be abandoned again in the future. Geez. Do you have any idea how terrible you look?" He shook his head pitifully and everyone else chorused in laughter. "I know you're a smart kid, Adrian. So I'll give you one chance to walk away peacefully. Walk out of here, just the same way your parents walked out of your life." Dear lord! Did he just mention Adrian's parents? How dare he? His last words triggered a much louder gasp from the audience, and they all thought it was funny. But within Adrian's chest, he felt his heart pump faster in rage. And before anyone could see it coming, his clenched fist landed on Ricardo Rodriguez's face, sending him to the ground and causing chaos to erupt in the blink of an eye. "Did he...?" "He just attacked the face of the university? That sore loser?!" Adrian found himself on the floor as well in no time as Ricardo's guards, friends and servants kicked and punched him blue and black, almost knocking him out cold. The beating became worse in seconds and before he knew it, he could barely lift a finger afterwards. "Pull him up." As they forced him on his knees, his eyes barely opened to see Ricardo seated with a red face, Teresa tending to his scratch. He managed a smirk, satisfied. "Are you laughing?" Ricardo noticed. He stood up in greater annoyance and charged at Adrian. Then he stopped, and bent his face down towards him. "Listen and listen well, Adrian Blood. I know you have nothing, but I promise I will take everything away from you one by one... Starting with this little scholarship of yours." He threatened, but Adrian was too damaged to care. "Throw him out." At Ricardo's command, Adrian felt his body launched into the air by multiple hands, dragged roughly away from the scene. Later, he could see the stars in the sky shortly before he landed roughly on a waste ground littered with broken bottles. He could only scream as the sharp things pierced into his skin and blood came gushing. The foul smell of his surrounding was also unbearable. As he heard footsteps recede from him, his only companion was the gift box he bought for Teresa, lying by his side as helpless as himself. Then like a thought, louder than usual, a voice came into his head. "CHOSEN HEIR SYSTEM. HOST DETECTED. ACTIVATING IN 3... 2... 1..."

A well dressed gentleman was standing behind the guards. He looked like a very rich fellow, and the guards seemed to respect him as he walked towards them."But sir...""No buts", he interrupted, raising his right hand in the air. Then he bent forward and lent a hand to Adrian. "I heard everything. Let the young man come."As Adrian came to his feet, the man shook his hand. "My name is James Halton, I am Mr Rodriquez's personal assistant. I heard everything you said about Miss Lyana. Are you sure about what you are saying?"Not that he was super sure, but the system had been his informant. So far, everything the system said had been true. He could heal from serious injuries in a matter of seconds. He could locate Lyana without having any prior idea of where she might have been.

Ricardo Rodriguez was spending the rest of the night with his new girlfriend, celebrating his amazing past few months when his phone rang up."Why are you disturbing me?" He knew it was his friend, Doctor Lewis, but this was not the best time to call him. He was in the middle of such nice time, Teresa's titties bouncing on his lips. Now this nerd had come to ruin it."We have a problem." Lewis said through the phone."This problem so big it can't wait till tomorrow?" Ricardo moaned as Teresa began to blow him slowly."It is your sister." Lewis seemed to be whispering over the phone."What? She finally died?" Ricardo urged Teresa to go faster as he closed his eyes in pleasure."No. She actually recovered."Ricardo's two eyes shot open in shock. "What did you say?""Lyana recovered. And now she's awake."With a violent push, Ricardo threw Teresa against the bed. Then he put on a robe and paced around the room in annoyance."How did this happen, Lewis?

The university was not the best place to be today. From the very first minute that Adrian laid foot into the environment, the toxicity of the atmosphere stiffened his breathe tight. Every person who saw him would giggle or frown or shake their heads before deeping their faces back into their phone screens. It didn't take long to realize something was going on."What is going on?" He wondered. "Is this because of what happened last night?"Of course the entire school was present when Ricardo had his boys ship him out like unwanted cargo many hours ago. Everyone who witnessed it was eager to make fun of him, like Mrs Huddersfield and Billy. But there was more with the way they all looked at him. Like some criminal who had committed a grievous crime. There must be something more going on around here."Hey system", he whispered. "Can you help me out here?""Absolutely!" The system voice chimed in his head.

"What are you doing here?"Adrian couldn't believe this. Teresa was right there all along and the school authority allowed her to listen in on their conversation? She was just a student like every other person, why allow her such admonition?"Well, Miss Williams is the victim in this case. She surely deserves the liberty of presence through the entire hearing."More like Ricardo had paid his way through to allow her interfere in this interrogation. That way they could make sure Adrian lost completely. Why else was she all dolled up like a wedding bride?"This monster tried to rape me. He should be in a prison somewhere now, I can't even bear to look at him. He is terrifying." She pointed her fingers at him while keeping a safe distance, as though he was some vicious threat she shouldn't be anywhere around."What are you talking about?

Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about. He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day."Hey!!"He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him.Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe."What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again."What? I just paid my bills like a man should.

Adrian's head banged loud at the urgency of the situation. He had to save Ricardo's sister again? He already saved her life last night? Why was her life already in danger again? Now he had to abandon the search for his father?"It is your choice, Adrian. Do you want to continue with the filler mission, or you would like to take on this one instead? You have four minutes left."He really wanted to find out about his father, but the thought of Lyana dying after what he went through last night to save her was not good. He needed to save her again. Afterall he could come back and do this later."Wh... Where is she? At the hospital?"The map appeared. "No, Adrian. She appears to be in a vehicle on her way home from the hospital. For some reason, she was discharged today under untold circumstances."Adrian checked the map. Lyana's vehicle was driving across the Stephanie Lane Bridge Pass. That was way on the other side of town, there was no way he could get there in four minutes."But I ca

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of

In the middle of the cold street, not far from the partying house and its doctored guests, an old friend sat in the comfort of the limousine and conversed with the troubled mouthpiece of the inner circle."Chairman Rodriguez has asked for your help." James Halton said. "He sees you are the best person who can see this storm to an end. He promises to reward you abundantly if you help him this time."His companion sighed. "Many years ago, I gave up on the life of riches. Federico Rodriguez knows that I do not care about his wealth. I was chosen by the deeper circle for a reason, and it did not include wealth."James Halton sighed. He could not speak out of turn in front of this person, but he needed to secure a deal. That was why the chairman had sent him this far."Why hasn't Federico come to see me himself?" The figure continued. "Him and Astana, they are making things ugly in Ravendale. The boss is getting angry. So they might be replaced, them and their entire families.""Forgive us

"What is he doing here?" Helena turned to Jorja, though her voice did not do justice to the volume of her thoughts. Jorja did not hear her, but as if she did, she marvelled over the beautiful sight of the two lovebirds."Jacob is one of our very special friends." She said. "He is a very smart and very determined young man.""And very treacherous too." Helena thought. If only Jorja knew what Jacob had done to her. How he had colluded with evil men to throw her into an eternal world of oblivion. The very sight of him made her cringe. There was nothing she could do. She would just rather walk away, taking delight in the more interesting and less poisonous things at the party.As soon as Helena walked forward, away from Jacob's gaze and away from Jorja's guide, Peter pulled back his wife to have a conversation.

A man stood in front of them, several feet tall. He was made of bulging muscles and his chest peeped beneath his shirt, barely covered by the extravagance of the suit. Adrian recognised him at once."Grenade." Adrian called, pointing at the man. He was one the specially trained security goons he had hired to protect his family. "You are the one I put in charge. Where is everybody? Where is my sister and my uncle?"Grenade sighed. "I am sorry, boss. I tried to warn her but the little mistress would not listen.""What are you talking about?" Adrian hated how this was sounding, where it might be heading. When people put in charge of dire responsibility make these kinds of apologies, it did not put the mind at rest."Your sister is safe." The man continued, much to Adrian's relief. "Then where is she?""She dismissed every single one of us and allowed only I to stay behind and guard the house.

The inner circle meeting was taking place now.

We have enslaved the masses and we have collaborated with their leaders. True power has been with us more than anything ever seen. Yet these days, we have looked so weak to the outside world, and disrespect is beginning to set in".Some would say that his complaint was no fault of anyone else but his own family. It was his daughter who submitted herself to a lucky gambler and set the internet on fire. It was not them or their families. If anyone had truly made a joke of this association, it was Federico Rodriguez himself."Yet our biggest problem yet is not these side distractions. No. Our biggest problem is Sebastian Waters legacy". He left the space for silence and what followed was disgruntled murmurs from the associates. They were tired of hearing this name already, a

Elias breathed coldly, "Speak away then."Jacob shook his head around, glancing at everybody else. "Take me to James Halton and I will say it in front of him."

Elias followed with that same old loud laughter that Jacob hated so much, and he was aided by his men."Whatever you wanna say, boy, you are saying it here. To me."

Jacob was left devastated as he sat by himself in the same bar where he had lost all his money. No, he did not lose it. He won everything there was to win yet those losers accused him of cheating so they could deny him of his reward. Even though James Halton had commanded them to return him everything, they only pretended to listen to him. All they gave was a few bucks and asked him to get lost."I worked hard for that money. I am not leaving this place without my own money at least." He vowed to himself. He remembered how he had to deceive Helena so he could make that money. He still blamed himself for betraying his own girlfriend, but that was what he had to do to make some money. Helena herself was naive and stupid. If she had listened to her troublesome brother, maybe she would not be in that situation. Jacob wondered what had become of her. What did those men do to Helena and why have them come to see Elias now?"I have to find out." An urge grew within him. James Halton was a w
