Adams, now dressed in gray suit pants and jacket, a black undershirt, and black matching penny loafers, picks up the invitation card and a gift box that he had prepared beforehand. The event was scheduled to begin at four o'clock, but it had already begun a few minutes earlier.He gripped it tightly, nearly crushing it. He may have acted nonchalantly, as if he was unaffected. But deep down, a huge hole had been created in his heart. He feels pangs of pain each time he thinks about her berating words. He had loved her for not one, two, or three, but for five years. He treated her better than he had ever treated a woman in his life, but in return, he received a brutal betrayal.It turns out that while he was working hard to make things right in their lives; she was having an affair with another man. Adams chuckles, recalling how he had made himself a saint. He never looked at other women, nor did he press Sam to satisfy his carnal desires as much as he wanted to.He respected her 'no s
"Oh yeah, oh yeah, I've gotta go back. I've got to go back. I've got to go. I've gotta go go go ho... me!"He sang, his voice cheesy and springy. The seamless, thrilling melody drew people's attention.But looking back at him should be considered a big mistake for any lady who wants to catch a flight quickly because, like his beautiful voice, the gold-haired brownie holding a backpack while swaying his body as he strolled into the airport is a hot, sexy, mouth-watering Greek god.If Adams is charming, refined, and elegant, then the man approaching the front desk is an alluring rogue heartthrob with sinful charisma and a look that says 'I am a casanova'. He approached the front desk, prepared his ticket and passport for his flight, and then sat on the waiting bench.With his backpack on his lap, he took out his phone and began browsing through it when he felt a tap on his shoulder.He looks to see a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. She smiled playfully and blinked at him. A dirty, teasing s
...at Hotel Emerald Deluxe, a prominent hotel in 'A' city. It was already 6 p.m., and the atmosphere in Hall 1880 was lively and buzzing with chatter and compliments from event attendees. This was the room where Samantha and Evans' engagement was held. The spacious hall had been transformed into a magical ballroom just for this day. As soon as guests entered the hall, they were captivated by the space's sheer grandeur. The high ceilings soared above, with chandeliers casting a warm and inviting glow. The hall was bathed in soft, golden light, creating a magical ambiance throughout. The walls were adorned with floor-to-ceiling mirrors that reflected the room's splendor from all angles. Delicate linen draped in rich, regal colors cascaded down the walls, lending an air of elegance. The hall's focal point was a magnificent, custom-made crystal chandelier suspended from the center of the ceiling. It sparkled and shimmered, creating a stunning display of light and shadow on the glea
The mere sight of Aleric Christopher gave her chills. Samantha Salvador found herself quivering and shuddering with fear. Her body was covered in goosebumps, and with her pale face, she could not hide her discomfort. Evans George, who had been glaring at Adams Smith and his newcomer friend, turned to look at his soon-to-be fiancee. He noticed her discomfort and reached out to hold her hand. “Do not worry; he can not do anything. I knew he would come here to cause a scene, so I planned a surprise for him ahead of time. Relax, baby Sam; he can not do anything. I will not let him ruin this beautiful moment in our lives.” Evans George reassured. Relax? How can she relax in such a situation? She did not know how to explain to him that she was afraid of Aleric, not Adams. “Alright. Thank you, Evan. I love you. I think I am feeling much better now.” She mumbled with a nod, and he smiled before turning away to face Adams and Aleric, who was being interrogated by Hendrix George. Sam
“System Activated: Accept dance request.” As the voice echoed in his head, Adams felt a moment of confusion. He looked around, attempting to determine where the voice was coming from. Then he realized it was the voice of the internal system that he had miraculously acquired. He chuckled amusingly with a sneer before agreeing to go along with it. He turned to the lady who had just made the bold request and smiled charmingly. “Why, of course,” he replied, extending his hand towards her. “I would be delighted to have a dance with you.” The lady's eyes widened in surprise and ecstasy as she pressed her hand into his. She had come forward to make such a brazen request, but she was unsure if she would be fortunate enough to be accepted. “I will get going. See ya.” Adams Smith winked at Aleric, who grinned back. Adams and the blonde lady quickly joined the other couples on the dance floor, moving to the beat of the orchestra's music. They cross the floor with synchronized and gra
He was famous for his charm, good looks, and notorious reputation as a playboy.Women swooned at the sight of him, their eyes filled with admiration and longing. Samantha had been no different than these ladies.She did everything she could to get his attention and interest, which eventually worked but was short-lived because Aleric ended up just satisfying her sexual needs.He had told her to stop bothering him. Samantha was even more afraid because she had willingly gotten laid by Aleric.She had no idea how long Adams and Aleric had known each other or what their relationship was really like. Samantha's conscience was heavy with guilt as she realized the full extent of her betrayals.She did not want anything to jeopardize her relationship with Evans. She realized she had made a grave mistake by succumbing to Aleric's charm and abandoning her commitment to neither Adams nor Evans.Samantha could not help but wonder if the two men (Adams and Aleric) were playing a twisted game. Had
He despised people like that. He detested those with chaotic lives. She could not help but imagine how her life would end when Evans George learns about her affairs with Aleric Christopher. What will become of her? The thought of this alone made Samantha more anxious to cover up the truth from Evans.“Who does Young Master George think he is to order his men to come after me? To be honest, saying I'm amazed is an understatement. I would never have thought your fiance, my ex-fiancee, was so disgusting. I would not accept a woman like that if I were in your position.” Adams spoke from his seat.His eyes were calm and gentle, devoid of any emotion. He appeared disinterested, but the tone in which he spoke was mocking.Samantha pitifully shouted from her position in Evans' embrace. “I told you, Adams, to stay away from me. Please stop interfering in my life. Just because you went to some cheap stores to change your outlook doesn't change what you really are.“All my life, I've never take
“Young Master, this countryside old fargot has just disrespected you, which is not acceptable. Order now, and we will get him in the right place. I also have punishment recommendations in case you are unsure about how you want us to deal with him.”Aiden, the burliest guard remarked. Adams curled his lips. Oh, what a wonderful opportunity he had unlocked.“Mhmm… What do you think, Mr. Parker? Should I agree to let him deal with you?”Adams turned to Julius Parker and grinned wickedly. Julius huffed and puffed with desperation.His blood pressure rose alarmingly quickly. His unsteady breathing made his face pale and sickly. He attempted to speak while pointing at Adams, but was unable to.“Oops! Parker, the old man, has no idea how to respond. I suppose he is now speechless.”“Oh, Adams, that is enough. Your words are affecting my father's health,”“And his actions had a long-term impact on my life, nearly ruining it, but you never mentioned it. Aren't you being hypocritical, Annabella
Lorenzo looked at the map on the screen, studying the layout of Sector 4. The anomaly was located in the heart of the sector, surrounded by a maze of dark corridors and narrow pathways.“Time to get moving,” Lorenzo muttered. He set off towards the anomaly, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. The air was thick with an eerie silence, and Lorenzo's skin crawled with every step.As he walked, the darkness seemed to grow thicker, like a living entity wrapping itself around him. Lorenzo's heart pounded in his chest, but he refused to back down. It's either KILL or BE KILLED.Suddenly, the lights flickered and died, plunging the corridor into total darkness. Lorenzo froze. His senses were high on alert.“System, what's going on?” he whispered, his voice barely audible. But he got no response. Lorenzo was frightened to the bones.[Power outage,] [Backup generators online.]The lights flickered back to life, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Lorenzo's eyes adjusted slowly,
A Series of zeros and one danced on a huge screen in front of him. The numbers began merging, forming circles and triangles. Lorenzo saw the wall and the floor reflecting the same thing that was showing on the huge screen in front of him. He was amazed and dumbfounded. His eyes were wide open in disbelief. The circles merged into rings, and the triangles positioned themselves around the circles, forming a strange symbol. Blue light emanated from the screen, the walls, and the floor. [Welcome to the system, Lorenzo Jamie] A metallic and robotic-sounding words reverberated in his mind, prompting him to look around the place. ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ Lorenzo wondered as he stared at the place. The last thing he recalled was making a deal with the rich man in Province Y, who had asked for him to create a custom red diamond jewelry set for his wife as a gift for another wedding anniversary. How did he end up here wearing a ridiculous outfit? Where is this place? His dream!? L
While at Erica's house, she was still bewildered by her discovery. She heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Adams successfully clear off the threat.Bianca soon arrived from the kitchen with a platter of fruit. She dropped it on the table and then bent to peek at Erica's game.“Funny! Aren't you getting too obsessed with handsome guys!?” she chuckled as she stood still and then strided to the bed.“Who gets tired of seeing handsome faces?” Erica sarcastically responded without taking her gaze off the screen.She leaned back in her chair, a triumphant grin still plastered on her face. But her joy was short-lived.The game's interface began to distort, pixels scrambling like frantic insects. Erica's brow furrowed in concern.“What the...? What's happening to the game” she whispered with her brows slowly forming a furrow.A system error message flashed on the screen:[FATAL ERROR: REALITY SYNCHRONIZATION FAILURE. ENTITIES HAVE BREACHED VIRTUAL BOUNDARIES.]Shit! Erica's heart sank. Sh
As the entity closed in, Adams raised his shield, bracing for impact. The creature's limbs clashed against the shield, sending shockwaves through Adams' arms.[Shield integrity at 70%]“Who are you?” Adams shouted, trying to distract the entity.[Insufficient data. Recommendation: Focus on combat.]The entity retaliated with a barrage of swift strikes, each one chipping away at the shield's integrity. Adams stumbled backwards, desperate to create distance.[Proximity alert: beetles regrouping.]The beetles, sensing Adams' weakness, began to close in once more. Adams found himself sandwiched between two formidable foes.[Recommendation: Utilize Power-up Spray to enhance combat capabilities.]Adams hesitated, unsure if the Power-up Spray would be enough to turn the tide. But with the entity and beetles closing in, what more choice does he have than to accept the system suggestions?“Power-up Spray, NOW!” Adams yelled, hoping for it to work. This realistic game was driving him crazy!![P
Watching the beast beetles rush towards him, Adams was confused about what to do.[Incoming Beetle, make use of shield and anti-bug spray!] The system’s synthesized voice echoed in his mind.Okay! “Shield and Spray,” he muttered but got nothing. Hah! What the fuck is happening? The beatles were already getting closer than before. [Warning: objects in the system are closer than they appear.]Adams immediately began to panic. He instantly recalled a game he once saw a group of youngsters playing when he went to print a report in the cafe.SHIELD!!SPRAY!!Adams yelled at the top of his lungs. His voice resounded in the system. The beetles seem to have been swept backwards due to the echo.[Shield request approved.]SWISH!!A large round shield appeared. Adams caught it and quickly belted it around his arms. Spray!! Where is the spray? The beetles were already catching up on him.SPRAY!!Adams yelled again.[Sprays available: Firewall sprays >Antivirus sprays > Bugs sprays > Debugging s
Adams stands tall, clad in a sleek and futuristic suit of armour. The armour is a polished silver colour with intricate circuitry patterns etched into the surface, giving it a high-tech appearance. The helmet's visor is tinted with a subtle blue hue, and the overall design exudes a sense of advanced technology and sophistication.The armour appears to be tailored to Adams' physique, accentuating his muscular build while also providing a sense of fluid mobility. The shoulder pads are adorned with small, glowing blue accents that pulse with soft, rhythmic light, indicating the armour's power source.On the chest plate, the word “Adams" was emblazoned in bold, metallic letters, serving as a symbol of Adams' status within the system. The armour's design seems to blend seamlessly with the digital environment, making Adams appear like a formidable, high-tech warrior ready to take on any challenge the system may present.Adams' eyes snapped open, and he found himself standing in a digital r
They were led by men holding bulletproof shields followed by the others who wielded a variety of weapons. Helicopters whirred in the air just as the entire warehouse was surrounded by cars, more armed men climbing out of it. The car headlights from outside had filtered inside the warehouse, as well as the helicopter light through the window on the roof. The sudden blast of light forced her to cover her eyes. Despite the chaotic sound of hundreds of footsteps coming from all directions, one pair of footsteps stood out in particular. This one was heavier than the others. She felt his overwhelming and authoritative presence before she saw his face. She felt her heart drum in anticipation of the familiar aura that was stalking closer and closer to her. She removed her hand and her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. Walking in his full glory, with long legs that seemed to stretch for miles, his suit jacket blowing in the wind, and hair swept to the side, was the man she had
"Mercy? What kind?" She pretended to ponder over the idea when in reality, her eyes were scanning the men advancing towards her.Just then, she realized the weird stance they were in and the expression they were trying to hide. Although it was barely noticeable, she saw some of the men's eyes flicker between her and the boxes that surrounded her.Was that why they were so wary? In the corner of her eye, she deduced that the lids on the crates were only placed haphazardly and that from where she was standing, she could easily reach out to get the contents."I'll have less of my men share you." While he answered her, he gestured to his men to spread out and approach her from all sides. Capturing a woman was usually easy, but this woman was unpredictable and slippery."Really? That's the best you got?" She asked and suddenly placed her hand into the crate.He panicked upon seeing that and screamed, "Grab her!"He was not aware whether she knew how to use a gun, but those crates were de
Erica concentrated on her environment.Only a handful of people knew that she had combat training and the circumstances of how she got it. None of those people would let this fact leak, and she was confident that whoever had planned on having her beaten into submission was not aware of that.Part of that training was being taught how to detect the presence around her. She counted at least 20 pairs of unique footsteps walking out of the room she was in.Their steps were generally heavier than the leader's and she knew that the burly ones were all used to straightforward beating, unlike the leader's more creative and brutal ways of torture.She faintly remembered that there were at least 30 men who had entered the warehouse which meant that around 10 people had been left behind to guard her.Peeling her eyes open by the tiniest crack, she saw there was no one within her vicinity.They had left her lying on the floor, seemingly believing that she was truly unconscious. Although she was
