Zaco stormed into his luxurious penthouse, frustration etched across his face. His twin brother, Zico, lounged on a leather couch, looking up from his phone with a raised eyebrow. "What's eating at you, Zaco? You look like you've seen a ghost," Zico remarked.Zaco, seething with anger, didn't waste any time. "Irrisia is still alive, and she can walk!" he spat out the words, watching as shock registered on Zico's face.Zico leaned forward, his casual demeanor replaced by genuine surprise. "What? How is that possible? We made sure she'd never walk again."Zaco paced the room, recounting the encounter in the school courtyard, where Max, Eddy, and Irrisia stood united against him. "She was supposed to be crippled, but there she was, standing tall. Max and Irrisia are up to something, and I won't let them ruin my plans."Zico's eyes narrowed, "You've been underestimating them, Zaco. Maybe it's time you reconsider your approach."Zaco glared at his brother, refusing to accept any form of cr
Eddy, still nursing his injuries from the brutal encounter orchestrated by Zaco, couldn't shake off the curiosity that lingered in his mind. Max and Irrisia, despite their attempts to keep him in the dark, were hiding something significant. As they retreated to a safer place after the confrontation, Eddy mustered the strength to voice his concerns."Max, Irrisia, what the hell is going on? Why did Zaco specifically target me, and why do you two seem to be at the center of all this chaos?" Eddy demanded, his eyes searching for answers. He knew they were hiding something from him and he was trying his best to know what it was.Max exchanged a glance with Irrisia, realizing that the time had come to reveal at least part of the truth to Eddy. Irrisia took a deep breath and began, "Eddy, there's more to our lives that meets the eye. We are involved in something complicated, something beyond personal conflicts. We have a task, assigned by a mysterious system, and it involves unraveling Zaco
The thought of Irrisia being alive filled Zico's head. " How did she survive the accident? I am sure I rammed her over with the car. Even if she is alive, I am sure she would be crippled. So how come?" Zico kept asking himself. He hated unfinished jobs. The thought of him failing Zaco lingered in his thoughts. " I need to finish this for good. I can't risk letting the secret out of the bag." Zaco was inside the penthouse as Zico was lost in thought. Zaco looked at him "What is on your mind?" he asked." Don't worry brother, I just need to clear my head. Because I still don't understand how Irrisia was able to walk after that fatal accident. I need to confirm for myself." Zico insisted.Zaco looked at him and grinned " Do you think I would lie to you over something like that? I saw her walk alright." Zaco told his twin brother again. " And lest I forget, I want you to lay low for some time now. I don't want things to get complicated. I can handle things from here." Zaco said taking
Eddy sat alone in his room as he pondered on what was going on between Zaco, Max, and now Irrisia who has been drawn into the picture since Max asked her out to be his supposed girlfriend. " It doesn't make any sense. Well, let's assume they are at loggerheads because of Tiffany. But now, Max is buoyant and can afford any woman he wants. He could even afford to pay Irrisia her bills for disguising herself as his girlfriend. But where the hell is the money coming from? At least he claims to be an orphan and I haven't seen any of his parents or siblings." Eddy kept wondering and soliloquizing to himself. He wanted to know more about Max but there was no time to find out. Max was always busy with his life and he is now having Zaco to contend with. Besides, they were in their final year and will be graduating in no time. Zaco continued to have people investigate Max while Max was always on the lookout to know more about Zaco's plans and movements too. Both were ready to know each other's
Aimy pleaded for her life telling Zaco she had seen nothing and would not divulge any information to either Darius or Max. " I promise, I won't talk about this with anyone. I will keep my mouth sealed." Aimy figured as Zaco walked up to her seat. He carefully placed his hands over her shoulder. " you see my dear Aimy, you need to be gone for my plan to work. I can't have you ruin everything I have fought so hard to build and am sure Zico wouldn't want that either." Zaco said going out of the dark room. Aimy tried to free herself, she made some squeak sound as she tried to loosen the tied ropes around her hands. The rope came off leaving marks all over her wrist. Amy sighed and carefully removed the blindfold on her face. She was able to look around the room where she was kept as a captive. Zack left the door unlocked because he believed Aimy could never free herself.Amy's heart raced as she surveyed the dimly lit room, her eyes adjusting to the newfound freedom from the blindfold. T
Aimy was able to escape Zico's cages after some weeks. As she navigated her way through the street, the car hirn barred at her. She was confused and didn't know where she was. Aimy couldn't see well at first because she had been kept indoors for a long time. " Will you get off the road?" a man shouted in annoyance at her. Aimy came back to her senses and knew she had to go and see Darius. As she was about to call a taxi she thought to herself " Is it safe to go and talk to him? Zico knows where I work and he could always find me anytime he wants. I better get to the hospital first and check on my grandmother." Aimy thought to herself and ordered the taxi to go straight to the hospital. She was on her way to see her grandmother after being called to the hospital. Zico used the opportunity to abduct her. " Who knows it might even be Zico who made a false alarm to her so she can leave her work." Amy thought again.After Zico and Zaco were done talking. Zico told his twin brother of his
As they were about to enter their cars. Darius' phone rang and he looked at his screen to know who the caller was but the caller had the name hidden. "It's me, Aimy." the caller said silently. " Aimy, where the hell have you been? I had to report you missing to the police when I didn't hear from you." Darius said over the phone.Immediately Zico began to track the call. He knew there would be trouble if Darius and his comrades got to the hospital before him. As Darius dropped the call, he told Max and Irrisia about the whereabouts of Aimy. " I think she is in danger, we need to act fast," Darius said looking worried.The trio entered their car and drove straight to the hospital. Zico got there before them but didn't know how to track Aimy's location. He decided to call the line again but Aimy refused to pick up. " F*ck!" Zico shouted on the hospital premises. All gaze were fixed on him and he silently went out of the hospital building, heading back into his car. He thought of what t
The gym was dimly lit, casting shadows on the faces of Max and Darius as they huddled together, the air thick with tension and revelations. Darius, nursing his wounds, began to unravel the mystery surrounding Zico's actions. " I think I know who he is. I have never seen anyone fight the way he does. He is fast and super smart. More like a robotic soldier." Darius told Max as he dressed his wounds. Max looked at him hoping for more details "Zico is not just a criminal; he's part of a bigger scheme. I've heard whispers of an underground organization, operating in the shadows, pulling strings beyond our comprehension," Darius confessed, his eyes reflecting a mix of weariness and determination. Max looked worried. " Is the system also an organization trying to fight Zaco's organization?" Lots of thoughts flooded Max's head. He knew he was entering a dangerous game immediately he started receiving money from the system. But he didn't know because he was able to solve his problems and als
