Elena gently held Alexander’s hand, her voice soft and pleading. “You don’t have to do this. I’m okay like this. You can’t face the Quinn family; you don’t know anything about them. They kill like it’s nothing!” Her wide, fearful eyes searched his face, desperate to dissuade him.Alexander gave her a wry smile, squeezing her hand gently. His gaze softened as he looked into her eyes. “It’s okay, babe. Just have faith in me, and I will do it!”Across the room, Jackson burst into laughter, his eyes glinting with scorn. “Faith in you? Do you even have faith in yourself?” He leaned forward, grinning. “Listen… this is real life, not some fiction story where you think things will go your way. You can never confront the Quinn family.”Maya crossed her arms, shaking her head. “He really wants to die so badly,” she muttered under her breath.Mr. Harington, leaning back in his chair with a sigh, nodded slightly. The debt had been overdue for years, and they’d long given up hope of collecting it.
Elena gently held Alexander’s hand and whispered, her voice trembling, “You don’t have to do this. I’m okay like this. You can’t face the Quinn family... you don’t know anything about them. They kill like it’s nothing!"Alexander put on a wry smile, squeezing her hand reassuringly. “It’s okay, babe. Just have faith in me, and I’ll do it.”Jackson burst into laughter, his booming voice filling the room. “Faith in you? Do you even have faith in yourself? This isn’t some fairy tale, you idiot. This is real life! You can’t confront the Quinn family. They’ll squash you.”Maya added coldly, “He must have a death wish. Seriously, this is pathetic.”Mr. Harington, observing the exchange with a smug look, nodded. The debt had been a thorn in his side for years, but he never expected anyone to dare challenge the Quinns. “Alright. If you can collect that debt from the Quinn family, then Elena will be elevated to the notable level. Both of you will."Alexander nodded firmly, determination etched
After they both cleaned up the room, they made their way home, to Elena's place. Elena couldn't believe her eyes that Alexander was finally himself.As they arrived home and entered the room, they were startled to see Elena's parents waiting there, with Xander also present.Alexander bowed to greet them, "Good evening, father. Good evening, mother."Mrs. Hailey shouted at him, "Can you please just shut up! Ugh, I don’t want your unnecessary greetings, you retard!""Mom," Elena called out.Mr. Hailey chimed in, "You stupid and foolish daughter! I’m so disgraced I gave birth to you. You disgust me!"Elena exhaled and frowned. "If this is all about Alexander, then you can call me whatever you want."Mr. Hailey groaned, "Elena, I have been embarrassed enough. Even your mom’s family doesn’t want me anymore, and you’re being humiliated yourself. It’s time to ditch this lowlife, worthless husband of yours and marry Xander."Xander smiled as he stood up. "Hello, pretty. Here I am again. I lov
Truly, Elena became one of the first people to arrive at the banquet avenue, dressed in a casual long gown, but it was so beautiful with flowery designs. The banquet, which took place in the new company, the hall that was set aside for it looked fancy, with pretty flowers and shiny lights. Tables were set nicely with fancy clothes and chairs. Delicious smells filled the air, and soft music played in the background. The people took themselves in pairs, talking. While Elena checked her phone, she was expecting Alexander's call, since the day she was being discharged from the hospital, she had not heard from him.She tried calling him many times, but it did not go through.She tried again, and it didn't go, she growled in frustration, and decided to forget about that and focus on the banquet.Just then, a hand slipped through her waist, "wow, you look beautiful", it was Micheal, grinning. Elena smiled at him.and stylishly took off his hand, she knew Micheal had interest in her. but she
"A card? That's ridiculous' ', Mrs. Harrington started moving her arms away and rolled her eyes back to the staff."I tf you he has nothing to do, now he is playing with our intelligence, a card can't do that, I'm very sure of that! Don't let this man scam you!", Mr.s Harrington pointed at him.The staff exhaled in frustration and gazed up at Alexander, "gentleman, please, there is no card that can't ever do that, and even if you have the card that can do it, where is it?", The staff demanded."Okay", Alex dipped his hand in his pocket to bring out the card, only for him to meet the lower part of his pocket, he frowned and checked the other pocket, not there also."Sir___", the staff was already losing her patient."Wait, I am sure I will bring it with me!", Alexander stated. He searched all his pockets but couldn't see it."Just please leave, and stop wasting our time", the staff said.Alexander's face turned beet red as he frantically searched his pockets, patting each one as if wi
They enjoyed a blissful meal together, giggling and sharing warm smiles. Alexander prepared his mind to just confess his love for her.As they finished, Elena excused herself to prepare for the party. She emerged later, wearing a flowing yellow sundress with white flowers and a subtle sparkle. The dress was pretty, but perhaps not elegant enough for a high-society party.Alexander's face lit up with a warm smile as he gazed at her, he knew but overrated the dress. Since he knew Alexander didn't have an alternative, only if she had told him sooner. "You look lovely, Elena, you will kill them all," he said, his voice genuine and encouraging.But Charles burst out laughing, pointing at her mom. "Mom, you look like a sunflower in a garden of roses!" he exclaimed, his words dripping with playful sarcasm. "Let me tell you the truth, you look awful mom! The dress is not that appropriate!"Elena squeezed her face, but she chuckled and playfully rolled her eyes. "Well, It's not like I'm the c
Elena and Alexander were in the room with Kate and Stiles. Each of them was filled with happiness; they had finally completed their mission and left behind everything that had been holding them back. The air was light, and laughter echoed as they shared the relief of their success.In two weeks, Charles would finish elementary school, marking the beginning of a new chapter. With that milestone, Alexander and Elena had already planned their next step: travelling and beginning a new life together, free from the past. They could almost taste the adventure and fresh start that awaited them beyond the horizon.They surrounded themselves with drinks, relaxing comfortably in the cosy room. The warm glow of the setting sun filtered through the windows, casting soft light on their faces as they sipped from their glasses, the weight of their recent journey finally lifting.Laughter bubbled up between them, the tension of the past weeks melting away. Tracy and Stiles sat off to the side, leanin
The fight broke out in an instant. Despite being outnumbered, Alexander, Elena, Stiles, and Tracy fought fiercely. Alexander landed quick, powerful punches, while Elena moved with precision, taking down anyone who got close. Stiles held his own, fending off multiple attackers.Tracy, dodging blows with exaggerated movements, ducked under a swing and kicked a thug in the knee. "Dance off, anyone?" she quipped, twirling dramatically, making even Stiles groan mid-fight. Despite the odds, the four quickly gained the upper hand. The gang members fell one by one, and the leader, frustrated, spat, “This isn’t over,” before retreating with his remaining men.Breathing hard but victorious, Tracy threw up her arms. "Told you I could fight... with style!”.Just as Tracy finished her triumphant declaration, the ground began to tremble. A loud rumble filled the air, and the four turned to see a tank rolling into view, its machine gun swiveling toward them. Alexander clenched his fists, scanning
