"Vivian," Ben began, leaning back with a satisfied grin, "that's one more surprise about our wedding day on Neckor Island."

Vivian's eyes sparkled with excitement, ears ready.

“As far as I know, Neckor Island is reopened specifically by Terminator X himself to host a speical private dinner.”

Ben continued, pausing for dramatic effect, “and it’s on the same night as our wedding!”

Vivian gasped, bringing her hand to her chest.

"Terminator X? Hosting a dinner? Who could it possibly be for?"

"That's the mystery," Ben replied, his eyes narrowing in intrigue.

"It's for a VIP—a person of such high importance that even Terminator X himself will personally welcome them."

Vivian was astonished.

What kind of mystery VIP could hold such power?!

Her mind raced, her excitement bubbling over.

"Oh, Ben, this is incredible! Just imagine… what if we get to see them?"

Ben chuckled, clearly savoring her reaction.

"Well, I can’t guarantee we’ll meet this VIP, but at the very least, we’ll see Terminato

    Ben emerged first, handing his keys to the valet before helping Vivian out with an exaggerated flourish. The moment she stepped onto the pavement, her designer heels clicking against marble, her eyes narrowed at Louis's figure."Oh my god, Ben, look who's here!" Vivian's voice dripped with theatrical disgust."The stalker himself!"Ben's arm wrapped possessively around her waist. "What a coincidence. Again.""Coincidence?" Vivian threw her head back with an exaggerated laugh. “No, Ben, you’re wrong. He’s definitely stalking me!”"First my brother, now me?” “You just can't help yourself, can you, Louis?"“Do you know how the word SHAMELESS spells?!”Louis shifted his takeout bag, his expression unchanging. “Which eye did you see me stalking you with?”“Can you stop being narcissistic?”Vivian glared at Louis with anger.“Oh, I see. You have the guts to do it, but not to admit it, right?”Louis glanced back at her indifferently, his expression cold."Believe what you want. I'm he

    The lobby fell silent for a moment before Vivian burst into hysterical laughter, clutching Ben's arm for support.Her laughter echoed off the marble walls, drawing curious glances from other guests."Did you hear that, baby?" she wheezed between laughs. "He says he booked Lavish Oasis! The private suite reserved for Terminator X only!"Ben's lips curled into a smirk. "Maybe the delivery job comes with hallucinations.""You really are pathetic," Vivian wiped tears of mirth from her eyes, careful not to smudge her makeup. "First stalking me, now lying about booking Terminator X's private suite? Have you completely lost it?"“Why don’t you wee and check your reflection carefully? Do you think you can even afford the Lavish Oasis??”Vivian was enraged by Louis’s shamelessness and pretentiousness.Did Louis think she was a fool that would easily fall for his tricks?!Louis checked his watch, his face emotionless. "Whether I can afford it or not, is none of your business.""Fuck you, de

    "The delusion is strong with this one," Ben smirked."Why would Terminator X tell YOU anything?" Vivian's voice rose with vicious glee. "You're nothing but a wannabe rich guy delivering takeout! God, this is pathetic even for you, Louis!"Louis remained silent, his mind drifting briefly to memories of Neckor Island.The pristine beaches, the exclusive villas, the private meetings..."What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Vivian preened, mistaking his silence for defeat. "Well, let me tell you something special again - my wedding will be held at Neckor Island. Yes, at the most prestigious wedding venue in the world!""And guess what?"She continued, practically bouncing with satisfaction."Terminator X will personally give us their blessing. That's right - while you're here making up stories about private suites, I'll be receiving a wedding gift from the wealthiest person in the world!"Louis's face remained impassive, which only fueled Vivian's aggressive triumph.Her eyes glittered

    Louis exhaled deeply as Vivian and Ben's voices finally faded.He reached for his phone as it buzzed. The screen lit up with "Terminator X" calling."Hello?"“I hope I’m not interrupting your evening, Sir.”Louis raised an eyebrow, slightly amused. “Not at all. In fact, I was about to call you myself. I heard you’ll be on Neckor Island next week. I’m guessing it was meant to be a surprise?”There was a pause on the other end, followed by an awkward chuckle. “Indeed, Sir, you’re always one step ahead.” “I was planning a grand welcome, but now ... I suspect you’d rather I kept things simple?”“Spot on,” Louis replied with a slight smile. “I appreciate the gesture, but a low-key meeting is more my style.”“Consider it done, Sir.” Terminator X said respectfully.“And one more thing, Sir. Your ex-wife’s fiance had booked a wedding on Neckor Island a week later. Should I cancel it as a little ‘lesson’? It’d be no trouble at all.”“No need.”Louis shook his head. He didn’t want to was

    “Haha, maybe we have met when we were kids and forgot all about it!”“You're so funny! Seriously though, talking to you feels so... familiar. Safe, somehow.”He smiled sadly at her words, wishing he could tell her everything – how she'd saved his life, how he'd carried that gratitude all these years.“That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me.”“You bring out the honest side in me. I can't explain it, but I'm so glad we're friends.”“Me too, Juliet.”As he typed those words, Louis made a silent promise to himself. He'd find a way to repay her kindness, even if she never knew the full story. Sometimes, he reflected, the best way to honor the past was to protect the present.The morning sun glinted off Necker Island's pristine dock as luxury yachts bobbed gently in the crystal-clear waters. Louis adjusted his casual linen shirt, taking in the extravagant wedding decorations that transformed the already stunning venue into something magical."Well, well, well. Look what

    However, Victoria stepped closer, her voice venomous. "Listen here, you worthless—""No, you listen," Louis interrupted calmly without stopping or looking backward. "Enjoy your standing here making assumptions and learn to shut up.” “Even better, why don't you watch and learn how a real entrance is made?"Jackson laughed mockingly. "Oh, this I've got to see. The great Louis about to be humiliated!"Watching Louis’s receding figure, Jackson couldn’t help but laughed out loud.Without an invitation, Louis would surely be humiliated.And he couldn’t wait to see that good show."Watch this circus show. He's about to get the humiliation he deserves." Victoria whispered.Her red lips curling into a cruel smile. Meanwhile, Louis continued walking, his steps measured and sure.Approached the checkpoint, Louis could feel the blatantly malicious gaze, but he remained unmoved.Twelve armed sentinels stood at attention, their black uniforms and reflective sunglasses creating an imposing ba

    Hanging up the phone, Louis walked along the island’s unique scenic path, following the iconic crytal-stone path.Everything was just like before, which made Louis feel as if he had returned to the past.Before he knew it, Louis had already passed through the tropical gardens.Soon, the path wound through tropical gardens until the wedding venue appeared – a masterpiece of crystal and precious gems catching the sunlight in rainbow prisms."And now, ..." Just then, the officiant's voice carried through the structure."By the words of God and the witnesses, I now pronounce the groom, Ben Gutsby, and the bride, Vivian Howard, as husband and wife. You may kiss...”Outside the transparent wedding chapel made of crystal and gems, Louis heard Vivian’s name and glanced in that direction.There, he saw Vivian in her bridal gown, her makeup heavy, her smile broad.However, Louis’s gaze didn’t linger on her for the least bit.Instead, his gaze shifted to Juliet, who stood not far away, wearing

    How could the gentle, supportive Louis be the same person Vivian called 'the biggest mistake of her life'?"What's your plan this time?" Vivian demanded. angrily "Try to win me back? Make some dramatic scene? Beg for another chance like the desperate dog you are?""He's probably hoping to get his picture in the society pages," Jackson called from the back. "Still trying to climb that social ladder!""You disgust me," Vivian continued, her voice echoing off the crystal walls."Mom was right about everything – you're nothing but a calculated fraud who fooled me once. Never again!"The guests shifted uncomfortably, some already posting to social media, others recording the confrontation with barely concealed excitement.Juliet felt her world tilting sideways. The Louis who defended my family's honor... is the same man they're calling a social-climbing fraud?How could that be?Something must be wrong, right?"Security!" Vivian screamed again.

    As the battle raged on, Terminator X noticed a cluster of generators fueling the Seer’s constructs.He turned to Louis."If I take out those generators, we’ll have a chance to turn the tide," Terminator X said.Louis hesitated."It’s too risky.""I’ve faced worse. Cover me," Terminator X said before charging toward the generators.Louis and Juliet fought their way through the enemy ranks, clearing a path for Terminator X.The mercenary-turned-cybernetic warrior reached the generators and rigged an explosive charge."Time to even the odds," Terminator X muttered as he activated the detonator.The explosion rocked the sanctuary, sending debris flying in every direction.The Seer’s constructs faltered, their forms flickering as the generators’ energy was severed.But the blast came at a cost. The ceiling above Terminator X collapsed, pinning him under a massive slab of stone."X!" Louis shouted, rushing to his side."Go!" Terminator X grunted, his face twisted in pain."The Mirror... you

    Louis stumbled back, his breathing ragged as the Mirror’s surface returned to stillness.Juliet caught him, her arms steadying him as he fought to regain composure."What did you see?" she asked softly."Everything," Louis murmured, his voice hollow."Every choice I make... it leads to pain. But I can’t stop now."The leader of the Remnants stepped forward."The Heart’s influence grows stronger, Louis. Each choice will bring you closer to ruin or salvation. The Mirror has shown you what may come—but it is you who decides what will be."Terminator X placed a firm hand on Louis’s shoulder."Whatever happens, you’ve got us. We’ll face it together."Louis nodded, though his mind raced with the visions.The cost of wielding the Heart was clear, but so was his purpose.The fight against the Eternals wasn’t just about vengeance—it was about protecting those he cared for, no matter the price.As they left the stone circle, the leader of the Remnants called after them."Beware, Louis.

    The darkness pressed in on Louis, suffocating and cold.The shadows taunted him, whispering his failures, his fears, and the inevitability of his fall.But this time, Louis didn’t flinch. The vision of destruction, the twisted reflection of himself—it was all a test."I’m not alone," he reminded himself, the memory of Juliet’s voice and Terminator X’s unyielding loyalty grounding him.With a guttural cry, Louis surged forward, the Heart pulsing brighter in his chest.The shadowy figure, his darker self, stumbled back, momentarily blinded."You think their faith will save you?" the doppelgänger sneered."It already has," Louis replied, slamming his fists into the ground.A wave of light burst from him, shattering the oppressive shadows.Juliet’s vision of her shattered family began to dissolve as she clung to the sound of Louis’s voice.She stood tall, staring into the broken shards around her."This guilt isn’t mine to carry," she declared."I did what I thought was right.

    Juliet stood in a dimly lit room, the walls adorned with gilded mirrors that reflected her younger self.She was dressed in an elegant gown, her hair styled to perfection.In the largest mirror, her parents stood behind her, their faces solemn."This is all your fault," her father’s voice boomed, the accusation cutting through her like a blade.Juliet spun around, her chest tightening."No, I—I didn’t mean for it to happen!"The reflection twisted, her parents’ faces contorting into masks of disdain."You wanted independence," her mother hissed."You wanted to prove yourself. And look where it got us."The mirrors shattered, shards flying around her like a storm.Each piece reflected a memory of her parents’ downfall—their estate seized, their status lost, and their once-proud family left in ruins.Juliet fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face."I only wanted to help...""You destroyed us," the voices echoed.The shadows began to close in, and Juliet’s sobs grew louder.Term

    Another figure spoke, their voice cold."Those who attempt to bypass the Judgment will find only death."Juliet stepped in front of Terminator X, her voice calm but firm."Let’s hear them out. If this is the only way to reach the Mirror, we’ll face it."The masked leader pointed a gnarled staff at Louis."The Heart chooses its bearer, but its power corrupts. If you are unworthy, it will consume you, as it has consumed others before you."Louis felt a surge of anger rise within him, but he forced it down."Then let me face your Judgment," he said, his voice unwavering."If the Mirror is the key to controlling the Heart, I’ll do whatever it takes."The figures exchanged glances, their masks revealing nothing of their thoughts.Finally, the leader nodded. "Very well. The Judgment begins."The air within the circle shimmered, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble.Louis felt the pull of the Heart intensify, drawing him toward the center of the stones.He looked back at Julie

    The sun was low in the sky, casting golden rays through the towering trees of the Forgotten Forest.The air was thick with the scent of moss and damp earth, and an eerie silence hung over the group as they pressed deeper into the labyrinth of twisting paths and dense foliage.Louis walked with a noticeable limp, leaning heavily on Juliet's arm.His body still hadn’t recovered from the Heart’s toll, but the artifact's presence within him was stronger than ever.Each step seemed to pulse with energy, and with it came fragments of visions—memories that weren’t his."Are you sure about this?" Juliet asked, her voice barely above a whisper.She kept her eyes on the trail ahead, her other hand gripping a dagger tightly."This forest... it feels wrong.""I’m sure," Louis replied, though his voice lacked conviction.His eyes flicked to Terminator X, who was scanning their surroundings with a handheld tracker, its screen displaying the journal's decoded coordinates."We’re close.

    Louis looked at him, his curiosity piqued despite the overwhelming weight of the Heart's pull."What did you find?"Terminator X flipped open the journal and showed them the new discovery:a page filled with cryptic symbols and a detailed map.His finger traced the ancient text, his voice steady as he spoke."It’s a council of former Eternal leaders. They call themselves The Remnants," he said, his tone heavy with meaning."They were once part of the Eternals but broke away, exiled for opposing the corruption within their ranks. They’ve gone underground, and according to your mother’s notes, they guard something... something powerful."Louis frowned, his brow furrowing."What are they guarding?"Terminator X's finger moved to the next part of the journal, where a symbol resembling an ancient mirror was sketched."The Mirror of Truth. It’s said to reveal the true intentions of any wielder of the Heart."Louis’s pulse quickened at the mention of the Mirror. It sounded like the key to ev

    The journey back to Apple City was silent.Terminator X led the way, ever vigilant, while Juliet stayed close to Louis, her gaze never leaving his broken form.They had defeated the Eternals, but at what cost?Louis’s body, still scarred from the Heart's energy, was a reminder of the toll it had taken on him.But he was alive.And that, in itself, was something.As they entered Apple City, the streets felt quieter than ever.The Eternals had been dealt a massive blow, but they both knew, deep down, that their victory was far from final.The organization still lurked in the shadows, its leaders scattered but not defeated.Inside a dark, abandoned room far from the city’s reach, an Eternal leader stood, watching the reports unfold on the screen.His face was a mask of cold fury, his fingers curling into fists as he stared at the image of Louis’s collapse."Louis... you think you've won?" The leader’s voice was low, filled with venom."This is just the beginning. You will pay for what yo

    Louis stood at the center of the Citadel, his hands trembling as they hovered over the Heart, its pulse growing louder in his mind.The energy swirled, dark and bright, a contradiction of pure power.He felt it, all of it, coursing through him like wildfire."Louis," Juliet’s voice broke through his focus, sharp and desperate."You have to stop! This will destroy you."He turned to her, his face pale, eyes wide with the fevered intensity of the Heart’s influence."I have to finish it," he whispered, his breath shallow."The Eternals... they’ll keep coming. We can’t stop them unless I do this."Juliet stepped closer, her voice trembling."You’ll die if you do this. Please, Louis!"He didn't answer.The Heart pulsed once more, and the energy exploded outward in a surge of power."NO!" The Seer’s voice rang out, cracking like glass, filled with fury and disbelief."You think you can control it?!"The blinding light that followed drowned everything in its brilliance.Louis barely register
