Eliza's eyes widened.
"F-Fired? B-But, Melinda, this is my father's —""Shut up! This is mine now! You can't even afford to manage the store. What do you mean this is your father's, huh? You are practically indebted to me, you bitch! So shut your mouth and go where you belong!""B-But I—""You're so hard headed now huh?" Melinda glared with a grin at Eliza and raised her hand to slap Eliza.She has always hated this beautiful face and slapping her brings her relief.But before Melinda's hand could land on Eliza's face, a strong grip restrained her. The sudden intervention caught Melinda off guard, freezing her in place.Eliza was also taken aback by Marcus' action. As he grips Melinda in front of her, she can't help but look at the biceps on Marcus' arm and blush.She had only seen this scene from romantic movies where the male lead was protecting her woman. Melinda, on the other hand, struggled in MaThe familiar cobwebs on the ceiling and the rusty, coarse texture of the sofa against his back greeted Chandler as he blinked back into consciousness. He half-expected a wave of pain. But, to his surprise, he felt... amazing. The last thing he saw before he passed out was his head severed from his body, yet here he was, seemingly intact, and the ring was gone."Was it all a dream then?" Chandler pondered, cautiously scanning the room.Just as Chandler was about to be happy that everything was just a mere nightmare, he saw the shattered mirror and the scattered glass shards on the floor. He looked up to the ceiling and saw the rope hanging loosely and blood drip down onto the chair below it.As the reality of the situation crashing down on him, Chandler eyes widened in terror. His pulse quickened, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "I-It wasn't a dream…" He touched his neck and quickly ran towards the mirror and realized that it had been broken. Chandler picked up a big sha
Julia smiled as she saw that her views were at 500,000 on her monitor.When she last checked on Amelia and EchoPhantom live, the views were only 40,000.'Haha, and ChickenIcecream is here too. Even though I haven't started yet, I have gained many views. I told you, Amelia, your loss. You can't gain something by collaborating with that newbie!'Hiding the grin on her face, Julia started."Thank you so much for the comments, like and the gifts, my lovies! Lovie dovie!" Julia shouted, doing her trademark pose and words. "I will be singing Love Me One More Time by Bratty Arrow, and also, I will be dancing today too! Look what I'm wearing, Dovies! Isn't this perfect for a lovely dance?"Truthfully, Julia was only able to practice the steps five times, and she asked her team to teach her, but Julia was a slow learner and couldn't perfect the steps.Her team insisted that she had to withdraw her plan, but she won't do that! She will not gonna back down and she will prove to everyone, to Am

'What is he doing?' Julia didn't know what to do. 'Shit, I'm gonna be cut from the scene again! Is he retrying the scene where I said, 'What do you mean, Colonel?' Or the scene where I point a gun at him? Shit! Which scene is he trying to do?!'"I killed enemies. Who I killed are the enemies of my country! Murphy, Finley, Koa—I killed them. With this rifle," Marcus muttered, his voice trembling.His eyes held an empty, distant gaze, as if he had become lost in a web of deception, unable to distinguish between his true identity and the illusion he had woven for so long.Julia sighed in relief hearing Marcus. 'Thank God, he didn't change the dialogue,' she thought back in her mind.Julia acted shocked, and Eric's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-What do you mean, Colonel? What do you fucking mean?" Megan yelled.Eric, as if realizing something, his eyes widened. "Y-You killed William?!" William was Alexie's friend.But Victor just raised an eyebrow and then massaged his head. "W-Willia
Marcus' breathing intensified as he looked down at the knife that still had his blood on it. It had been two minutes and Marcus' stamina had run out. He was in a dangerous predicament, and he needed to act quickly."I don't know where you got that move but it's over now, punk," the taller gangster taunted. "You are gonna pay for what you have done to my brother."Marcus felt helpless but then he remembered another move he had seen in one of the flashes of Victor Petrov's combat skills. It was risky with a knife pointing not far from his neck, but he had no other choice.Using every bit of his energy, Marcus stomped on the taller gangster's foot, causing the man to yelp and momentarily loosen his grip. Marcus used this split-second opportunity to twist out of the gangster's hold.In a swift and determined move, Marcus delivered a punishing elbow strike to the gangster's face, breaking his nose. Blood spurted from the gangster's injured face as he stumbled backwards, dazed and in pai
Marcus wiped the sweat and took a deep breath before glancing around.Bewildered expressions greeted him, and there was a sense of awe among the crew.They all just stared at him with bewildered looks.The crew exchanged astonished glances, murmuring among themselves."Is he really a rookie?""Did you see how he looked at the soldier?! It was so terrifying! How can he act like that?""He's like a completely different person. Did we underestimate him?"The actors, who were insulting Marcus just a while ago, were all taken aback."Did he secretly enroll in a military academy or something? How was he able to fight and move like that?""He's making us all look bad, especially after what we said about what happened with Declan. "D-Did he really put something in Declan's coffee?"Marcus smirked as he heard the whispers.Even without the system telling him that he was successful with the mission, Marcus already could tell by their reactions.And with that thought in his mind, a 'Ding!'

With no money left in his pocket, Chandler didn't go to the hospital to treat himself but instead went to the place where he only felt welcome at this very moment—his Amusement Park.It was the place that his parents left him.As soon as he arrived, he was greeted with silence and emptiness that echoed through the once vibrant and lively amusement park. He stumbled to the bathroom. In his reflection, he saw the vivid reminders of the beating he endured.His eyes were so swollen that they wouldn't open, and his mouth was ripped, and any attempt to open it only intensified the pain.Reaching for a worn-out first aid kit, Chandler began the arduous task of cleaning and treating his wounds. The stinging sensation of antiseptic met the rawness of his battered skin.As he dabbed at the bruises, Chandler's mind replayed the events that led him to this point. The trust he placed in Evelyn, the betrayal by his best friend, and the orchestrated lies that painted him as a villain.Chandler's h
