Authur stood by the window, his heart ached and his mind was clouded with an unexplainable longing.He went into the bathroom and decided to take a cool shower, just so he could get his mind off things.As the drops of water hit his head, some memories flickered through his mind and he struggled to grasp unto them.Authur frowned as he tried to connect the dots, he felt a strong connection when he was with Josephine but he couldn't remember how she got into his life.Authur slammed his fist on the wall in frustration, his hands were bruised from the force but he didn't care about it.He got out of the shower and went back to the room, the fact that he could not remember how he got into an accident was frustrating.He had memories of everyone, including his arrogant ex-wife, but he didn't know anything about Josephine.If he hadn't seen the pictures of them together then he wouldn't have believed that he knew her.Authur thought of calling her back to apologize to her, but it was alrea
[If the host finds the gem within the given time then the host will be saved]Authur laughed at himself, was he that stupid to think that the system would give him everything he wanted for free?It was just a game afterall, and he would do everything he could to find the gem.Authur sighed deeply, "I'm ready" [Host will become the chosen character and will not appear to the real world as his usual self]"Why?" Authur asked, there was a disgusted look on his face.[Rules] The metallic voice replied plainly.Authur thought for a while, if the system didn't allow him to look like himself, then what would he look like?"Can I choose a character?" [Unfortunately, the host doesn't have the permission to choose a character of its choice][The system will randomly select a character for the host]A sneer formed on Authur's face, if the system was a human then it would have probably seen his icy glare."Can I use my abilities?" Authur asked the system, just to be sure he had some kind of bac
Now Authur needed to find a way to enter the hotel without the guard noticing him.He sighed deeply, there was absolutely no way he could get in there without being noticed.How sure was he that the hidden gem was inside the hotel?Authur checked the time on the broken watch in his hand, about forty-five minutes had passed and he still had over an hour left.If only he knew where the gem was, then he would have taken it without breaking a sweat, but his system was very smart and it was possible that the gem was hidden in a place no one could imagine.Authur didn't follow the entrance of the hotel this time, he sneaked to the back of the building without the guard seeing him.He gaze around the vicinity and saw that no one was around, it was just quiet and dark."Activate movement skill" Authur commanded but he wasn't feeling anything."System what's wrong? My movement skill isn't working" Authur raised his brow in confusion.[It's an ability and it doesn't work by saying it. You have
"Are you still doubting my abilities? Give me the box now!" Authur's said in an authoritative tone."No! This box is mine, you fool!" Rudy said with a clenched fist, the gem in the box was enough to change his life forever and he wasn't willing to give it to some man who appeared to be a ghost."That is not even a real gem, I own a jewelry company and no gem looks like that," Authur said, trying to convince Rudy to let it go.Rudy laughed out loud " How can you own a jewelry company? You are a pauper and you can never own a jewelry company, you can't even own a jewelry store." he held the box closely "You fool! I know it isn't a popular gem and that is why I am keeping it, this is a rare gem that would make me the richest man in the world!" The other two men already ran away and left Rudy behind, they ran as fast as they could and neither of the two bothered to look back."Cowards!" Rudy cussed under his breath, he held the box firmly in his hand, even though he was terrified of Auth
The next day Authur received a text message from an unknown number. It wasn't the first time the unknown number had texted him.Today, he decided that he would find out who the person was and make them regret ever joking around with him.It wasn't like the person was a secret admirer, or could it be Josephine?The text messages were always short and the user mostly asked about Authur's well-being.But today was different, he was determined to find out who the person was, so they arranged to meet at La Vuger coffee shop.Authur didn't text the user back, instead, he asked his driver to immediately take him to the coffee shop.On their way, he couldn't stop himself from thinking about who the unknown person was.At first, he had been ignoring the messages but the user hinted that she was a female, Authur's hand was cold and his suspicion led him to believe that the unknown user was Josephine.But she could have used her number if she was the one, it wasn't like he wouldn't reply to her a
"Please wait for me" Josephine panted heavily as she ran to meet Authur.Authur was about to enter the car when he felt her little hands on his. He yanked it away fiercely."Just listen to me please" Josephine held his hand again.This time he didn't yank it away like he did, instead, he turned to face her."What do you want?" Authur shot her a dirty glare.Josephine bowed her head down in shame, she played with her fingers for a while and thought about how to explain it to him."Are you deaf? If you don't have anything to say then get out of my way" Authur shouted, already mad at her for being quiet.A part of him wanted to hear what she had to say and another part of him was so angry at her."He is my patient!" "Do you think I am a fool? I saw it! You wanted to make a fool out of me and that's why you messaged me to come here today" Authur raised his brow as if questioning her."I didn't message you, what are you talking about?" Josephine asked softly."I didn't even know that you w
"Do you forgive me?" Josephine felt his warm breath on her back.The hug lasted for a while and Authur finally broke free."No" Authur faked a frown." just kidding! How can I ever get mad at you? Miss cutie" Josephine blushed lightly, she tucked her hair behind her ear and looked away from Authur."I wonder who the unknown user is. I just can't stop thinking about it." Authur took in a deep breath, he just couldn't connect the dots.If Josephine wasn't the one, then who could it be?"Maybe Dylan? I'm not sure" Josephine hesitated for a brief moment before she said. " I caught him looking at your social profile." Authur remained silent and refrained from speaking, he gave Josephine a sad smile before looking away.If Dylan was the one who had been messing up with him then he would teach the man a great lesson and make him regret it."Stop the car!" Authur ordered his driver and the man immediately hit the brakes.The driver's name was Kelvin, he had been working for Authur, for the
Dylan scoffed"Have you come back to beg?" Josephine's eyes darted back and forth, talking to Dylan was of no use."Why did you treat my son that way?" Mr Cooper stared at her with such intensity that could make her vanish.Mr Cooper yelled as she opened her mouth to say something."Can't you see how injured he is? Mr Maxwell beat him up just because of you! You are very shameless! Apologize to my son now!" Josephine intertwined her fingers, she knew Mr Cooper would support his son and honestly she was expecting it.She didn't come there to beg, all she wanted was to take her belongings and drop her resignation letter."I am sorry. I came here to drop my resignation letter." Josephine walked forward and placed the neatly folded sheet of paper on the desk.Dylan felt angry as he saw the letter, he looked at her and then looked back at his father."What's the meaning of this?" Mr Cooper angrily threw the paper at her. "What's this? Do you think a silly piece of paper is enough to fix th
