Alex knows that Jasmine often acts badly towards him or says things that make him sad when his company goes bankrupt, but he assumes that it's just his wife's frustration.
He thinks that Jasmine is probably just angry for a moment because all the luxuries he once gave her have disappeared in an instant. They are struggling to live and Jasmine can't afford to squander her money anymore.She is always getting treatments to enhance her beauty and appearance, but after Alex went bankrupt, Jasmine never went to the salon again.Alex always tries to give Jasmine money, even if it's just a little bit every day. But apparently, Jasmine isn't satisfied with that 'little' money at all.Of all the worst possibilities he could think of, he never thought that Jasmine would cheat on him. And to make matters worse, on the same day, she threw the divorce lawsuit in his face.Tonight, Alex seems to be made aware of Jasmine's bad behavior.Is he really that pathetic? Everyone hates him because of his poverty, whereas before, he was so adored because of his wealth. He had no one left except his sick daughter."Tsk, shit!" Alex couldn't bear to swear anymore.Alex ruffles his shapeless hair in annoyance. He feels like punching something to vent his frustration. He feels very frustrated and disappointed with his wife's betrayal of love.Jasmine left him for a richer man.That woman is so matrealistic. Alex laughs. What should he do now?Not that he wanted to beg for his wife's love, but the insult that woman had done to him really made his heart ache. Especially the scorn from the Sans family.Alex let out a rough breath. He quickly moved from his spot before his mind exploded. Maybe he needs a breath of fresh air to calm down.For a moment, he looks at Bianca who is still sleeping soundly behind the glass door. Alex will not be gone for long, he just wants to calm his feelings for a while.Alex decides to go to the backyard. He zips his jacket up to his neck and walks down the hallway. The sound of his steps echoed in the deserted hospital corridor.As expected, the backyard garden is quiet. The moon is obscured by clouds, but the hospital lights are quite helpful. Alex sits on one of the benches, unconcerned with its wet surface. He leans his head back, then begins to reflect on his sad fate.His head ached at the thought of the $500 he had to pay off. Bianca had a respiratory infection. Thankfully, she is now on the mend thanks to quality care. However, the medical bills are also expensive.Alex doesn't blame Bianca, he blames himself for being incompetent. With only five dollars left in his account, he didn't know where to get the money. Would anyone lend him $500 without any guarantee?While Alex is pondering, his cell phone suddenly vibrates. It had been vibrating frequently, but there were no messages or calls. He thought it might have started to malfunction.Alex ignores it, but then, his cell phone vibrates again. An annoyed chuckle escaped his lips. He is not in a good mood today, so why is his cell phone causing trouble?Alex reaches into his pants pocket angrily, then opens his phone screen. His eyes narrowed to see a notification there.'CLICK THIS LINK TO GET $1,000,005!'What the hell, he isn't in the mood to cater to scammers' jokes.Alex almost put his phone back, but there seems to be an urge that makes his fingers want to click on the link.Alex doesn't really believe it, but in the end, he clicks the link.The screen blinks, then a second later, a new notification immediately appears.On his phone screen was a new text: 'CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE EARNED $1,000,005! CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT!'Alex laughs spontaneously. This must be a joke. It can't be real, right? Who would send $1,000,005 for free just for clicking a link?"It must be a hoax," Alex muttered. "Besides, why would I waste my time with that link?"Suddenly, a new notification came back to Alex's phone. His eyes widened at the statement that appeared. It said that his account had received one million dollars.Seriously, this is crazy, Alex thought.He immediately checks his account and can't believe his own eyes. His account is completely topped up. His hands are shaking so badly that he puts his cell phone down on the bench."Oh my god! This is crazy. It's unbelievable." Alex couldn't stop saying that sentence.Is he dreaming? It is definitely a dream.Alex slaps himself in the face, hard enough that a ring escapes his lips. Heat and stinging spread across his cheeks, but he still can't believe it when he looks at his phone screen.This is crazy!Really crazy!Absolutely crazy!And he isn't dreaming.Alex checked his phone once more and he almost screamed."This is crazy!" Alex muttered before he could control his sanity.Alex sits back on the bench and takes a deep breath repeatedly. Until his emotions calmed down, until his mind no longer felt like it might explode.He reaches for his cell phone beside him and checks his account for the third time.An unbelievable feeling of excitement instantly came over him.This is hard to believe, but it's the truth.A million dollars is not a small amount of money, he can buy a luxury house, a luxury car, rebuild his property company, and do other fun things.Alex's smile can't help but widen as he imagines how he would reply to the Sans family's insults to him. Jasmine, Anne, Victor, and John. They should all have their insults returned.He can directly pay for his daughter's medical expenses.When Alex is busy thinking about many things, a voice interrupts all the fantasies in his mind. He He looks around the courtyard of the sacred house, but there is no one here.The voice came back. Alex straightens up and listens to the voice. The voice is like a grown man's, but the tone is stiff like a robot."You must spend the money within seven days, otherwise you will die!" The words resonated in Alex's ears.Alex is surprised by the voice that reaches his ears.$1,000,005 must be spend in seven days? What does he have to do to spend that much money?The voice came back, it seems to warn Alex before disappearing with the wind.Alex stands up from the bench and squints to observe the surroundings of the dimly lit hospital garden. As far as the eye can see, he doesn't see anyone. But that voice... it sounded like it was whispering right in the back of his head.Overcome with curiosity, Alex dares to check every corner. But nothing, he only finds an owl perched on one of the trees.Was it only a sound? Or maybe it was his hallucination?Alex feels like he's dreaming. Especially with $1.000.005 and a strange system suddenly appearing on his phone.It is completely crazy, but there is no denying that Alex is excited.Alex put his phone in his pants pocket and back to the hospital to pay for his daughter's medical bills. A smile on his lips, he almost jumps when he steps into Bianca's ward.The
The next morning, Alex decides to go to Sans' house.The Sans family lives in the Gambriell housing estate, which is for the middle class. Alex gets out of the luxury car he just bought this morning, then stares at the two-story house in front of him. He deliberately not changing his clothes to see how the wealth-crazed family would react.He begins to imagine the insults they will hurl. And once through the door, it just so happened that the Sans family members did not even know he there. Alex is greeted by cursing from his brother-in-law."Oh look, who's here? The useless unemployed!" Shouted John who was standing not far from the entrance. "After pretending to be rich at the hospital, you still dare to come back here?"Jasmine approaches Alex who is standing still in his place. The woman's face was contorted with hatred and her lips formed a sardonic smile. "Why are you back here? You said we were getting a divorce, but you still come to this house? Don't you have any shame?" She a
After pressing the panel with the command to proceed to the next level, a small light appeared and a loud click sounded once. The panel quickly disappeared, and a new, much wider panel appeared.Alex notices a rectangular panel hovering in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere. It is dominated by a faintly glowing blue light. An inscription slowly appeared there.There is a prompt to fill in his full identity. Starting from name, date of birth, parents' names, full address, family members, blood type, and other things related to Alex's life."Fill in everything to advance to the next level! You'll get more rewards!"The adult male voice came back. The tone is cheerful, but there is still a command there.Alex is silent for a moment, debating whether or not to fill in his full identity. Although the word 'reward' is tempting, he doesn't want to make the wrong move. He knows that this is the system that sent the million dollars to his account, but there's no denying that there's a feel
Alex is dumbfounded after finishing reading his first task on the panel screen.He should go to the Sans' house and give them $100? Isn't that too good?Alex disliked the first task, but he had already joined. Then, as per the rules, he had to complete whatever the task, even if he doesn't like it.Maybe this is one of the challenges for him, seeing how he hates the Sans family. Letting out a long sigh, Alex stretches his stiff body and gets up from the sofa. His dark irises surveyed his luxurious home for a moment. It is much more luxurious than his old home.Alex's eyes shifted to the expensive antique chandelier hanging from the ceiling, then grinned slightly. He is no longer a useless unemployed man with only $5 in his wallet.He now had half the money in his account, minus the money he is going to give to Sans' family. But after this task was completed, he would definitely get a much more valuable reward.Alex locks his door and walks to his car. He starts the engine and drives
The dim blue-lit panel displayed the commands for Alex's next task.'TASK 2. PLEASE GO TO THE SHOWROOM AND BUY A LAMBORGHINI CAR'. Before going to the car showroom, Alex searches for info on the latest Lamborghini first. He then cashes out the money in his account and puts it all into a medium-sized suitcase. He had $700,000 dollars to buy a new car."I'm coming soon, Dear Lamborghini," Alex said as he jumped up from his chair. He was happy to complete this task.Alex drives his car to the city center, where the best showroom is located. He parks his car far enough away from the main parking lot because he doesn't want to be conspicuous, then pulls his suitcase towards the main door of the showroom.But as soon as he stepped through the door, the two showroom employees stared at him with furrowed brows. The tall male employee openly scrutinized Alex's appearance. His face frowning in dislike, he frowned in disgust when their gazes met for a few seconds.What the hell is this employee
Alex stares at Jasmine who is still glaring at him, it seems that Jasmine is not seeing the panel that appears in front of Alex, and Alex realizes that the panel is only visible to him.Even though this task had come out of an emergency, Alex is sure that he had to complete it immediately. Emergency task is probably much more challenging than regular task, because they come unexpectedly, with a very short time frame.Alex quickly takes out his wallet and pulls out his $20. Jasmine stares in confusion when Alex raises his hand and throws the $20 into her face.Alex wants to laugh at the sight of Jasmine's face turning into an overcooked crab boil.The woman growled angrily, feeling deeply humiliated by her ex-husband's treatment."How dare you!" Jasmine shouted in annoyance.Alex gives an unconcerned look and casually walks past Jasmine when the notification that his task has been completed is heard. He walks into Bianca's room, while Jasmine punches the empty air with extreme annoyanc
Alex is silent for a moment. Meanwhile, Jasmine continues to beg him. She even bowed down at Alex's feet. Then, Bianca came to her parents who were at the front door of the house. The little 5-year-old girl sees her mother, she immediately runs to Jasmine and hugs her. "Mommy, I miss you so much." Bianca said to her mother. Jasmine hugged Bianca tightly, "I miss you too, My princess!" Then, Bianca let go of her mother's embrace, and she looks seriously into Alex's face. "Daddy, let Mommy stay with us in this house. I want Mommy to be with me, Daddy. Please!" Bianca pleaded with her father. Alex sighs. Really, this is a difficult thing for him. Because, he is already hurt by Jasmine who has betrayed his love. But, today his daughter requested that Jasmine be able to live with them in this house. "Please, Daddy!" Bianca begged Alex again with a sad expression on her face. As a good father, Alex can't see his daughter sad. All this time, whatever Bianca's wishes were always fulfill
The panel system suddenly disappears from Alex's eyes. And now there is the sound of John laughing.John and his wife Yisabella are laughing at Alex. Because, Alex's appearance is really shabby, and he confidently goes to the mall. "Haha! Look at your appearance, Alex! You're so embarrassing! It's a good thing you're divorced from my younger sister, otherwise I'd be even more embarrassed to have a brother-in-law like you!" John said while laughing at Alex and looking at him with disgust. "That's right, Honey. It's a good thing that he's no longer our brother-in-law, otherwise I would have been very upset today and I would have scolded him all the way home!" Yisabella said too. Alex is still silent. He really is lazy to argue today. So, he doesn't care about John and his wife. Alex is still waiting for the waitress to bring his order. "So, why are you standing here? Before security comes and kicks you out, you better get out of here quickly! I'm still nice to you, I don't want you t
