“Oh! So, this is how Riva Superstar loses her shine!” Henley muttered. He rose from his seat and drove his way back to his house in Elite City. Today, he needed to wear his most power up outfit for he’s not just going to meet any businessman, but the President of Red Coast himself, and he has to win over him no matter what. He ordered his most expensive car to be taken out from the garage. Henley made sure that everything he’s wearing up to the stuff he’s using will help him look intimidating. This is a power play. So, he needs to be ready. Keres Wiscon. What really are you, President? You’re the same guy whom Aula is after? Henley thinks. “Sir, we have arrived,” Noah’s voice dragged his thoughts to the present. Henley looked out of the window. He took a deep breath as if gathering all the confidence in him before he stepped out of his expensive car. The building where the President of Red Coast Country is doing his office exudes elegance. It was a tall skyscraper that embodies th
Cameras flashed on Henley’s face. He stood proudly in front of the press while his hands were clinging to Tori's waist. Today he made history. For so long. For a long time the yacht of Riva has been sold. Even the most famous and the richest businessmen in the world failed to buy it, until there had been an impression that Riva’s yacht did not really want to be sold. But now it is! And who bought it was no other than Henley Austen! “How was he able to do it?!” “He’s truly great!” “He did it!” Henley gladly graced the crowd. He was smiling wide when he faced the media. They were all very curious about how Henley acquired the yacht, but Henley just shrugged and gave them unclear answers. Minutes later, again, Henley’s face is all over tv for being the new owner of the yacht. Henley can’t help but smile as he hop in his car. Yeah, it was just a yacht he bought. It’s supposed to be of little value if not the powerful of the world made it into an icon. They crafted stories around it.
The Owl Service who does not know that industry? If there’s one thing that’s powerful in Red Coast Country it’s not the President, but the one who’s got the capacity to make someone a King. What people in Red Coast didn’t know is that The Owl Service is simply just a PR company. Celebrities, politicians, businessmen, and other famous figures all go to them for their help. Whatever scandal, whatever stain they can clean, that’s how good they are. But the question is, who’s the person behind the Owl Service? And what’s the weakness of this company? That’s for Henley to find out. The system is now reminding him about his tasks, and he never had felt pressure this time. He knows in a different game right now. The reason why he succeeded in those impossible previous tasks he had was because he was able to penetrate the enemies’ weakness, and with that he was able to manipulate them, but what about one who doesn’t seem to have a weakness?Impossible! There’s not anyone who doesn't have a we
Henley's voice echoed amidst the hallway. His world seemed to stop turning as he keep pushing the wheeled stretcher where her foster grandma was lying in agony. There's not even a medical attendant who helped them get to the emergency ward. The service of this hospital for commoners sucks! Thuding, he pushed the stretcher as fast as he could until the entrance of the emergency room was near to the sight. He felt a bit of relief when a medical attendant came to meet them. He asks him what happened. Henley told them that his grandma suddenly fainted, and aside from that she usually has pre-existing medical conditions. The medical attendant called the doctor on duty, and as the bed curtain closes, Henley's heart was pounding anxiously. He's worried big time about his grandma. She's the only family he has. Among all the foster parents he has had, Grandma was the only one who showed him love, and who really took care of him. He can't lose her! No! Henley Austen, he doesn't even know if th
"Red Coast, this country of ours needs an extensive purge!" This was the opening of the President's speech years later after his election. Keres Wiscon stood proud and immovable amidst the crowd gathered in the country's largest square. Today was his State of the Nation address, and today was the beginning of the drastic change in the lives of the people on the Red Coast. The entire podium was silent when in the middle of his speech, the President's assistant was asked to come handing a red gold box, and when the President opened it, the audience wait in anticipation as they saw a piece of paper being pulled out from it. After a while, it was flashed on the huge screen projector, there the entire country knows what was it, as the President pronounced -- The Red Tape Letter. That's it, it was a letter that was even more important than his speech at the moment. The letter that's even more powerful than the country's constitution. For in that letter written in red, was a new law reveal
He has so much trust in Naomi's love for him. Naomi accepted him despite that he was a commoner. She's from the Elite City. He's from the bottom. He couldn't forget that dreamy eyes he saw one time right at the moment he need of saving. If not for Naomi he could have been killed in the mine camp. Drex, Naomi's brother always picked on him. Drex always made sure he'll have a difficult work life in the mining camp. "Hey! You are filthy! you do this!" Drex never had called him in his name. He always assigned him a dangerous task in the mine like underground drilling, or with explosives, like blasting or moving the ore. Though it's still difficult, he'll be thankful if he's assigned to the breaking rocks operation. For Drex and the rest and the likes of him, Henley's life isn't valuable. They don't care if he'll die down there, a commoner like him always gets the lowliest and most dangerous job. For Henley, this work life of his is nothing compared to what he had when he was a kid. Un
He was jobless. He was brokenhearted. And his grandmother was in the hospital. Perhaps there could be no more f** up life as his. The next few days, Naomi's wedding news was everywhere. The Krux family takes pride in it. He even heard Mr Krux announcing over television that her daughter's wedding is going to be the grandest of the year. Henley turned to the window to not hear the tv in the end. He's on the public bus at the moment, and even up here, he's hearing about Naomi's wedding. He remembered his encounter with her last night. So, that arrogant guy was her fiancee? Adder. Yeah, that name stick in his mind, when that arrogant who he saw wrapping his arms around Naomi uttered his name. How could he forget him? He was too proud to say who he was! He even ordered the bar staff to drag him away. Later he learned that this Adder guy was the guy whom Naomi had cheated on with. Yeah, it turns out that behind those innocent faces of hers, and those pretentious love she had shown to him
The bell ring. It's mealtime here in Iron Gate Max Security Prison. That bell sound was the only thing perhaps that brings color to the day of the inmates detained here. It means they'll have to get out even just for a minute in their small claustrophobic rooms, but who would have thought that their canteen would even have some hierarchy? Yeah, you heard it right, meals aren't all free. Yeah, there are free meals for the general prisoners and that free meal means bland, tasteless, low-quality food. If you want to have some pleasurable eating time, you can spend money on it. And often those meals are for the rich people who would not spend a long time in this rotting place. "Hey, dude what are you looking at? The line is stuck!" The canteen attendant called Henley's attention. He had been looking at the other menu that was displayed on the other side of the food rack. The ones that are for the VIP prisoners. " Do you have money for it? huh? What are you looking at?" the canteen a
