Max drove straight home after the confrontation with Dino. Irrisia kept taking secret glances at him as he drove. "who was the lady you were talking about? Do I know her?" Irrisia asked as they got home. Max was too tired to explain so he just fell on the sofa " Irrisia, not now. I will explain when we get to school tomorrow. Just stick with me alright." He said and shut his eyes." Can I at least prepare you dinner?" irrisia asked Max who was now drifting into a long sleep. Max murmured some words that Irrisia didn't hear. " I will take that as a No," Irrisia replied walking up the stairs to her room. Max lay on the sofa and was fast asleep.The two woke up at the sound of the loud alarm. " Urgh" Max groaned as he got up from the bed to go take his bath. Irrisia came down immediately too and greeted " Morning, Max." she said softly entering the other bathtub. Both greeted and started to prepare to head down to school. " How is your head? Do you still feel any headaches?" Irrisia aske
Class activities commenced and soon Irrisia's accident was soon forgotten. The students all went about their daily activities forgetting anything that happened that morning. It was during lunchtime when Zaco gathered his friends and were talking. " have you heard anything from Eddy? I mean he didn't come to school and we haven't seen him since our fight." Mark asked, looking at Zaco at the round table before them." he had better run because I will skin him alive if I eventually catch him. I went into surgery because of him. Something that has never happened to me before. Besides, Irrisia can walk again. That is strange." Zaco said, sipping his drink." I think Max can now afford the best doctor to look after his supposed girlfriend. Haven't you noticed that he is rich now?" Jason teased Zaco making him look at him angrily." I wonder what she is having underneath that skirt," Zaco replied to Jason who smiled mischievously.Meanwhile, amid the bustling school atmosphere, Max and Irri
As the tension escalated between Max, Eddy, and Zaco, the school courtyard became a battleground of words and unresolved issues. Irrisia stood by Max's side, her presence lending strength to the trio facing Zaco's menacing aura. " There is nothing you can do to Eddy as long as he is with me, You better deal with it. Besides, you had it coming." Max said looking at Zaco who was now angry. " So, you think you are untouchable because you are now having some little cash in your pocket. I wonder where you get that money from? We will see how long it's going to last." Zaco said with a grin and worked out on the trio. Eddy was relieved. He looked at Max and smiled " You just saved me, I am forever indebted to you." He said with relief.Suddenly, Irrisia felt a subtle vibration from her pocket. Max looked at her as she stared at her phone.[Ting!] She retrieved her phone to find a message from the system:[ "Task assigned: Uncover Zaco's true motives and expose his deceit. Gather evidence d
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
