William had been smiling at the memory of his girlfriend, Selena. He couldn't wait to see her once he finished work. For two weeks, Selena had been vacationing on a tropical island abroad with her friends. Today was the day of her return. Too bad William couldn't pick her up at the airport because he had to work.
Tonight would be a historic night for Willian and Selena. William picked up the blue velvet box that was in his apron pocket. When the box was opened it revealed a ring with a sparkling gem. It wasn't a diamond ring, but William was sure Selena would love it because it wasn't just a gift, it was a binding when he proposed to her.According to William, it was time for him and Selena to commit and get married. They had been dating for a year and living together in his apartment for six months. Maybe for some people, one year is very short. However, William feels that he and Selena already love each other very much. So, why would they delay a good thing like marriage.Besides working as a shopkeeper at an electronics store during the day, William was also a waiter at a fancy restaurant at night. He did all that to meet the needs of Selena who loved to vacation and shopping."What are you doing there? Instead of working, you're daydreaming like a fool," scolded Andre, one of the waiters at the restaurant.Steve, who was mopping the floor, gave William a hateful look. "When the restaurant manager is around, he works fast. When the manager isn't around, he slacks off like that. What a hypocrite!"William quickly put his ring box in his pocket. He looked down in shame at being caught daydreaming by his coworkers. He had been a model employee this month, but instead of doing his job, he had been daydreaming.Steve whispered to Andre, "Why don't we trip his legs, and let William fall."Andre nodded in agreement. "Good idea. I've had enough of his annoying face."William, who didn't know he was going to be pranked by Steve and Andre, was still busy stuffing dry trash in the plastic. Every time he pressed the trash, his biceps muscles were clearly imprinted. He was a handsome, muscular man with deep blue eyes like the ocean. His firm jawline and slightly split chin gave him a masculine feel. His brown hair was a little messy after a long night's work but it didn't detract from his good looks.Steve leaned the mop against the wall. He glanced at William who was still busy organizing the trash. "Why did you take so long to clean up the trash? Is it because you're trash too, so you feel comfortable lingering with your friend."Andre who heard Steve's words immediately laughed. "Never mind, just let him be. He must be very happy because he can play with trash," he said. "I heard he's going to propose to his girlfriend. I wonder what kind of woman would want to be the wife of a trashy man like him."William decided to ignore the insults from the two men and continued his work. Ever since he started working there, the two men had often provoked him. However, William still needed a job so he chose to endure. Even though it happened every night because like this time, the three of them always got the part to clean the dine-in restaurant during closing.After finishing organizing all the trash, William lifted the black plastic trash to take it to the dumpster at the back of the restaurant. Andre raised one of his eyebrows to Steve as a sign for Steve to carry out their plan. As William walked between Steve and Andre, Steve immediately pushed his back, while Andre tackled his legs until he fell.The garbage William was lifting fell first, so he fell right on top of the garbage which immediately scattered again. He was sure Steve and Andre had deliberately made him fall, but he couldn't fight the two men. Not because he would lose, but he relented because he didn't want to have problems in his work environment with anyone."What's going on?" Ronald, the restaurant manager came over after hearing the sound of William falling down."I was mopping, Sir. And William was walking on the slippery floor until he fell down with the trash." Steve explained."I had already mopped it up, Sir. He shouldn't have walked on the clean floor. Not only would the floor get dirty again, but he would also fall. And sure enough, he fell." Andre made up a story to put William on the spot."No, sir, they are ....."William didn't have time to finish his sentence because Ronald immediately said, "William, take care of the trash and clean the dine-in room again. Steve and Andre have worked hard to clean up this room, but you're dirtying it up again. Don't leave until everything is clean, do you understand?""Yes, Sir." William was not given a chance to explain, so he had no choice but to obey his superiors.Steve and Andre laughed at William as soon as Ronald walked into his room. They were very satisfied to see William being scolded by Ronald."That's what happens when you want to always look good in front of Mr. Ronald." Andre hit William on the head as he was putting the scattered garbage back into the plastic.William clutched the trash in his hand tightly as he couldn't accept Andre and Steve's treatment. However, he immediately took a deep breath and exhaled slowly from his mouth to calm himself down. It's okay. Clearing the trash and cleaning the dine-in room wasn't that difficult.After his work was done, William could finally go home. His clothes were wet with sweat, but he didn't want to waste any more time changing. He had missed Selena terribly and wanted to hug his girlfriend. He would kneel in front of Selena and ask her to be his wife.William's smile continued to widen as he climbed the stairs to the third floor where his apartment was located. Clutching his ring box, he opened the apartment door. His forehead immediately frowned when he saw clothes scattered on the floor and sofa. There were bras and panties that belonged to Selena; also shirts and jeans that belonged to men that did not belong to William."Ohh, Babe!"The sighing sound came from the direction of the room occupied by William and Selena. And William knew that the voice belonged to Selena.William's heart skipped a beat as he stepped towards the room whose door was open. Getting closer, he could hear that Selena was not alone in the room. There was a man accompanying her. William's logic had already compiled the possible things Selena and the man might be doing in the room, but William's feelings still continued to deny it. His great love for the woman made him convince himself that Selena could not possibly betray him.William's feelings are instantly shattered when he sees Selena naked on their bed with a blonde man. The ring box in William's hand immediately fell seeing Selena who cheated on him.Selena, who realized William's arrival, immediately pushed the man beside her. The woman pulled the blanket to cover her body and the body of her cheating man."William? Since when have you been there?" asked Selena, seemingly not feeling guilty even though she had been caught cheating on William.William didn't answer. His brain was still trying to digest what had happened because there was a part of him that didn't want to believe what he had witnessed."It can't be. This must be a nightmare," William said to himself.Selena and Tom are making passionate love before William comes to interrupt them. Tom quickly put on his boxers, while Selena wrapped a blanket around her body before getting out of bed."What are you standing there for? You should have left as soon as you found out that Tom and I were making love. You ruined my beautiful night." Selena gave William an annoyed look.William wasn't dreaming. His heartache was very real. Selena, the woman he loved so much that he had given everything to, had completely betrayed him."I should have asked you what you were doing with that man!" William shouted, venting all his pent-up emotions.Selena rolled her eyes. "No need to shout like that, I'm not deaf. Just so you know, he's my new boyfriend Tom. We met on vacation and I had a great time with him there.""You went on vacation with my accommodations, Selena. I saved up for months to fulfill that wish of yours. All the money you spent on your vacation was my money. How come when you're there, you ch
Ronald, who was not far from the scene of the dispute, approached William and Andre. "Why are you fighting here? Don't you realize that you're ruining the image of this restaurant?"Andre immediately bowed to Ronalad. "I'm sorry, Sir. I only reprimanded William because a customer complained about his service. It seems like he had some problems with his girlfriend, so he wasn't really concentrating on his work. Maybe he should just take a break, let me do his work."Everything Andre said was a lie, but Ronald seemed to believe it."He's not telling me that, Sir. He lied." William defended himself because he didn't want Ronald's judgment to be bad for him."No need to defend yourself, William. I have already reprimanded you. Look, once you make trouble today, I will fire you on the spot. You should be grateful that I kept you here. Instead of behaving yourself, you have the nerve to lie to me. You called earlier that you couldn't come to work because you were sick, but it turns out you
William circulated his gaze to see the details of the holographic room, while searching for the source of the voice that had just greeted him. He had no idea what was happening and how he came to be in the fund. He pinched his face."Ouch, that hurts!" he whimpered softly.He wasn't dreaming.[Congratulations, you have been selected as the owner of the Limitless Destiny system. In this system you will be asked to choose the destiny you wish to live]William's brow furrowed, turning his body to look for the person who spoke. "Who are you?"[I am the admin who will connect you as a Host with the Limitless Destiny system]"I don't understand. Why exactly am I here? Return me to my place!" William shouted.[As I explained earlier, you are currently the chosen one to be the owner of the Limitless Destiny system. By owning this system you can become anyone you want, unlimited by role, name, country, and more]William raised one of his eyebrow. He was starting to get curious about the system
William continued his pace, looking right and left at the shops he passed. There might be a shop that needed workers, so he could apply. It didn't matter what kind of job it was, as long as he could earn money to survive.After walking for a while, William arrived at the electronics store where he worked before. He thought that it was possible that the store hadn't found a replacement for him yet. Some of the store's customers looked disgustedly at William, they turned up their noses and quickly walked away."Gosh, what the hell is that? What would a poor person like him come to this electronics store for? It looks like he can't even buy food.""When did he leave here? He's disgusting!"The store's customers began to comment because they were uncomfortable with the arrival of William who looked so bad and had wet clothes. Despite knowing that the shop customers were uncomfortable, William was forced to endure the stares because he had to meet the shop owner."What did you come here fo
William was still wearing his white bathrobe when he came out to the pool. He swallowed when he saw Noah wearing a two piece bikini with a tiger print lying on a sun lounger. He stared at Noah starting from her long legs. Her thighs formed fine lines on each side which were her muscle lines. The small piercings in her navel, then up to her cleavage were clearly visible. He still couldn't believe that a woman as beautiful as a Greek goddess was his girlfriend.Noah, who noticed William's arrival, raised her sunglasses to her head. Her long flowing hair was brought to her left shoulder, then smiled while waving to William."Babe, why are you standing there? Come here! Didn't you say you wanted to swim with me?" called Noah.Although still nervous, William walked over to Noah. He could clearly hear his rapid heartbeat, especially when he started sitting near Noah.Noah shook his head looking at William. "You're not going swimming in that bathrobe, are you, Babe?"William didn't answer, h
The charity event organized that night was an auction of some famous items. Based on the theme, every invitee wore a mask because after the auction, there would be a masquerade ball. William stood in front of the mirror in his walk-in closet. He stared at his reflection in awe, as if he didn't recognize himself.William is wearing a white tuxedo and black pants. A black bow tie was around his neck. His side-parted hair looked shiny. His firm jaw was more prominent, as was his chin that was parted in the middle. He turned his head after seeing Noah's reflection behind him. And he could only remain silent as he looked at Noah who was wearing a long rose gold dress with a low-cut cleavage that was parted at the sides up to her thighs. Her long hair was in a bun and a few curly locks were left loose to accompany her bangs.Noah tucked her hair behind her ear. "What do you think?""Beautiful. Very pretty. I've never seen a woman more beautiful than you," William complimented.Noah blinked
"Ladies and gentlemen who have participated in the auction, we thank you. All the money raised tonight will be donated entirely to those in need. We'll see you next year at an even bigger event," said the host. "Please move to the ball room we have prepared next door. Enjoy the real party."The invited guests applauded briefly, then some began to stand up as they were about to move to the larger venue where the evening's party would continue. Aside from having fun and reuniting with old acquaintances, the party was also meant to develop connections among business people. That was exactly what Tom was going to do.Tom had been trying to locate William's whereabouts. He had to get a chance to make a connection with the owner of Emerald Corp. If he managed to approach him and get a contract, his father would be proud of him. He would also get the support of the shareholders to be trusted as his father's successor as CEO of their company.Selena grabbed Tom's arm as he stood up. She notic
"You're in a really good mood today," said Noah, grabbing William's arm as they walked towards the ballroom.William's brow furrowed, though a slight smile played on his lips. "Oh yeah? Probably because you're so pretty today."Noah rested her head on William's shoulder and smiled so broadly that her rabbit-like teeth showed. "I always love your sweet talk."William's smile widened, not only because of Noah's words, but also because he remembered Tom complimenting him. He couldn't imagine how Tom and Selena would react once he took off his mask."This is the first time I've been to a party like this in person," William said once they were at the door of the ballroom and a waiter opened the door for them."It's just a party of pleasantries where people compete to make connections with influential people in the country," Noah explained. "We just need to respond to them with a smile. Usually people who are too friendly are just sycophants who come when they need to."William turned to Noa
