"Will you accept me as your mentor?" Jean's words left Bryan both surprised and happy, though it's unbelievable still Bryan wants to believe in his luck at least for once, "Are you sure about this, sir?" He asked, trying to keep his excitement in check until he heard further words of Jean.

While Jean just smiled at Bryan, "It depends on your performance."

Bryan hummed, maintaining a calm demeanor instead of expressing overconfidence or using unnecessary flattery, which left a good impression towards him, Jean got up from the chair, "Every Saturday and Sunday from next week, meet me here in the evening, right in the same place."

With that, Jean left, Bryan was so happy he almost wanted to dance out of extreme happiness, he had finally achieved his dream, he felt he is unworthy of everything always until he met this particular man, and after that losing his chance not being able to get a chance to meet him even being close, now he didn't let go his chance anymore.

    The final call left Bryan feeling gloomy, since his mind is full of thoughts, "Did I make a mistake by trusting her? I shouldn’t have trusted anyone, especially after all the times I’ve been betrayed by everyone, how could I be so foolish enough to trust her?" Just as Bryan was about to give up thinking Mirabel has betrayed him, someone grabbed his hand, "I’m sorry," said Mirabel being breathless due to running fast, "I’m sorry for being late."Without speaking further, Bryan took Mirabel to the registration counter and checked off both their names at the last possible minute, somehow they had secured their places in the event as participants.Walking away from the registration counter, Bryan scolded Mirabel about her careless behaviour, "Don’t you have any sense of time? I told you to come on time, it's not something for you to be careless as you wish, if you couldn’t make it, you should’ve at least told me, thanks to you, I'm worried as hell.""I’m sorry," Mirabel apologized, lower

    Bryan and Mirabel's hearts were racing as they anxiously awaited the results, their nervousness is quite evident on their facial expression, finally, the most awaited announcement came, "Mirabel and Bryan." Both of them looked extremely happy on making into the second round, before the second round, they headed to a nearby seating area to tend to Bryan's injured leg. Ronald approached them just as Mirabel rushed off to fetch a first aid kit for Bryan, "Your suspicion was right," Ronald said with a disgusted look, "They used soft wires for themselves and harsh wires for the rest, this is why few are injured badly, that's how you also got injured, thankfully not serious, I overheard them talking, I never knew they would be this cruel." "They're more cruel than you can imagine" Bryan replied asking him to be alert, "I suspected this, so let's stick to our original plan, I'll leave everything to you," Ronald nodded in agreement. Mirabel returned with the first aid kit and began treatin

    The announcement stunned everyone, spectators, even Ronald and Mirabel, except Bryan, who stood calmly as if he had expected it before only, Mirabel sighed in frustration, "We worked so hard to get here, how can they say we cheated and disqualified us? I don't find it acceptable.""Are you going to give up now?" Bryan glanced at her with a questioning look, to which Mirabel replied, "No way, I'll never give up.""Then let's go," Bryan said, walking away without explaining making her more curious with his silence, Mirabel tried to ask where they were going, but Bryan didn't answer, he went straight to Ronald and asked, "Did you do what I asked?""HD quality," Ronald replied, showing him the mobile, Bryan checked it and nodded with a smile before going directly to the announcement area, with Ronald and Mirabel following.As they walked behind Bryan, Mirabel tried to question Ronald about Bryan's weird behaviour sometimes, "Why doesn't he ever answer our questions?"Ronald sighed equally

    In the next announcement, as promised, Bryan and Mirabel's names were on the list for the final round along with an apology for earlier misunderstanding. Due to the elimination of two couples and the cheating that had occurred in the previous rounds, surprisingly all couples who participated in the first and second rounds, even those who didn't qualify initially, were allowed to compete in the final round. So there's a tougher competition than expected for Bryan and Mirabel to win the third round. Mirabel stretched her arms being tired of straining her body, "This is exhausting, I never imagined participating in something like this." Bryan chuckled while teasing her, "No wonder you're so lazy." "Who are you calling lazy?" Mirabel reacted back, ready to argue with him, "Who exactly did you call lazy?" Bryan laughed at her childish argument, even he didn't understand how he was feeling uncomfortable around her despite the fact, they barely knew each other. But their attention was

    "Bryannnnn!" Mirabel's loud scream echoed by the entire surroundings, even Ronald from afar was startled for a minute, all the spectators gasped out of fear that Bryan had fallen on the thorns because of rope being cut off, but Bryan managed to lean forward, grabbing the rope just in time using his tactics.Mirabel sighed in relief, watching Bryan steadying himself without any kind of injuries, stretching his body back, he reached out, feeling for the flag. His fingers brushed the fabric, and he grabbed it in one go without letting it to slip away from his grip,"Got it!" He shouted, pulling off his blindfold.Mirabel cheered in happiness, their teamwork and trust shining through their success, Bryan walked towards her, and she rushed to hug him, both of them overjoyed about winning and hugged each other in happiness."We did it," Mirabel said, taking the flag into her hands, still in disbelief despite watching Bryan coming back and even though the flag is still in her hands everything

    Bryan's expression shocked Ronald and Mirabel as they checked the envelope. It only had $2,000, Ronald can't help but to ask, "If there's only $2,000, where's the rest of the $8,000?" Bryan showed them the vouchers and dinner coupons, and both Ronald and Mirabel burst into laughter watching the coupons and vouchers."What the" Bryan sighed, cursing himself under his breath for not remembering the cash prize details clearly from his previous life. All he remembered was the huge cash prize, the winner, and how they cheated, he didn't know about this twist which made him to fall in the trap, "No wonder those guys threw the envelope away. What a fool I am!" He thought with a frown on his face.Ronald took the $2,000, still laughing at the efforts of Bryan, "I don't think this is a small amount, but dude, you worked so hard for this is hilarious," he said, Mirabel chuckled too at the way Ronald teased Bryan, to which Bryan rolled his eyes, "Let it be, I'm fine," "You're fine?" Mirabel and

    Bryan's question made Ronald think for a minute, "I felt the same way, but I thought that if they stopped her, they might stop you from participating altogether, right? I mean rather than cheating or competing against you, they might've thought that stopping you totally from participating would be easy right?"Bryan nodded agreeing with Ronald, "You're not wrong, umm do you think if we are being close to her will get her into trouble?" Bryan was worried about dragging Mirabel into their problems, because of today's incident."Just because of that, we can't abandon her," Ronald replied, though he is worried about her just like Bryan, he is concerned too, "She's too naive to handle everything alone. It's better if someone is there to support and protect her, she only requested for friendship, it's not that hard for us to be friends with her, it's not like it would cost us something, let's not care about anything, as long as we are fine with each other."Bryan agreed but still worried ab

    "Only $100,000?" Bryan asked, still in disbelief about the amount she mentioned earlier, Mirabel nodded with an innocent expression, as she didn't notice Bryan being in disbelief, "Yes, I get only $100,000 as pocket money each month, if you need more, we'll have to wait."Bryan whispered to Ronald in confusion, "Is she crazy to think that amount is small, or does she think I need more?"Ronald was too shocked to respond, so he simply stared at his face with a blank expression, while Mirabel asked Bryan trying to know what they're discussing so secretly, "Isn't it enough?"Bryan sighed while rubbing his temples, "What planet are you from to ask if $100,000 is enough?"Mirabel rolled her eyes knowing Bryan is teasing her as usual, Bryan continued, "It's more than enough, didn’t you see us working hard for just $10,000? Now you think the amount you have is less?"Hearing this, Mirabel looked happy since her money will be helpful to Bryan and immediately handed him the card, "Then use it.

    SOMETHING CONSPIRACY

    "Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?" With a curiosity, he

    "Sure, I can," Stacy said and took the file, as she checked the details, apart from very minimalistic nothing else found, "Bryan, if you don't mind, can I ask who is this man? If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition." Stacy frowned in deep thought. "

    "These are the files you're supposed to look at and take care of," Josephine sat at her desk in the office, glaring daggers as everyone who was looking down on her, whereas Nancy, had been firm but fair in her leadership. To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me." When Nancy walked into the room, holding another set of reports, Josephine couldn’t contain her anger."Just because your father made you a CEO, do you think you're superior to me?" she hissed, with a ton

    "Mother," Josephine spoke in a low tone, "you know whatever I do, it is for this family, I've been in this house for so long serving as his wife and your daughter-in-law, I built the reputation of this family along with my husband, how can you say this to me when I was also a part of the glory now winterwood family enjoying?"Alicia snapped at her, "glory? You brought nothing but shame, don't forget how you became the daughter-in-law of this family, from that day till now, there's nothing but humiliation and insults surrounding this family." Josephine opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, Bryan finally stepped forward, "Grandma, right now, I don't think it's important for us to discuss the past." Everyone turned to him, with a curious and surprised expression trying to know what he is trying to do, as they're not sure why Bryan is helping Josephine who treats him nothing but as an enemy."Bryan, this is none of your concern," Neil said sharply. "I advise you to stay out

    DOUBLE OUR WEALTH

    "So, are you pitying me?" Bryan asked making Ronald to smile, "not once but thrice, because you'll be one's husband and forever brother to two sisters, I think sister Stacy is also one of them, so not even thrice but four times I pity on you." Bryan rolled his eyes, Mia who glanced at Ronald and Bryan speaking to eachother just frowned, when Ronald looked at her, she immediately turned her face away."Why is she angry with you?" Bryan who observed the fierce reaction of Mia, asked Ronald, but he just lied, "I don't know." At the sametime, Stacy came with a smile, "everything is done, we can go home now." Bryan held Mirabel's hand, "I want to take you home, but this isn't the right time Mira, so...." "Come on prince, did I ever blame you for anything?" Mirabel gently hugged him, "I'll go back to dorm, don't forget to give a call when you reach home." Bryan nodded, she gave a kiss on his forehead, "take medicine well, you need good rest too, don't stress and don't overwork, it's no

No way....that can't happen, I'm sure this must be a mistake, but how am I supposed to solve it? Should I make her get money from Bryan? After all he loves hi

    WHAT THE HELL!

    'If you ever tarnish this family’s name again," Mr. Wilson continued, with a cold voice, "I will cut you off entirely from this family, no more money, no more support, no more anything. You’ll be on your own, do you understand me?"Tracy nodded slowly, her lower lip trembling. "I understand," she whispered .Her mother folded her arms, her expression still harsh but slightly softened, as after all Tracy is their only daughter whom they loved and cherished a lot."Good, and as for the Winterwoods, we’ll be distancing ourselves from them for a while. After what you’ve done, I don’t want to see or hear their name in this house," those words from her mother left Tracy to be heartbroken.Tracy’s head shot up, panic flashing in her eyes. "No, please! Don’t do that! I—I’ll fix this! I’ll apologize to Bryan, to everyone, and I'm sure Bryan will believe in me, he'll forgive me, I'm the only friend he had, so give me a chance to apologize to Bryan." "It’s too late for that," Mr. Wilson said fi

    YOU'LL FACE CONSEQUENCES

    The tension in the Wilson household was quite evident, the air thick with anger and disappointment. Tracy sat on the velvet couch in the grand living room, her head bowed, tears streaming down her face. Her parents stood nearby, their expressions a mix of fury and humiliation. The scenes of the disgraceful behaviour of Tracy at the Winterwood party were still fresh in their minds."Do you have any idea what you’ve done, Tracy?" Mr. Wilson, roared, his voice resounding through the room. "You’ve humiliated not only yourself but this entire family! Thanks to you, I can't raise my head and go out in public anymore." Tracy flinched, her hands gripping the edges of her dress tightly. "I didn’t mean to," she began, with a shaking voice, as she isn't sure how things changed from what she originally planned, she wanted to drug Bryan and force him into a relationship with her, but things changed in a different way leaving her as a laughing stock in front of everyone."Didn’t mean to?"

    "This is so exhausting, I don't prefer any kind of parties, from now onwards," Nancy said stretching her arms, looking at the guests leaving.Bryan smiled at her, "I thought you're the one who enjoyed it mostly," Nancy glanced at Bryan, ruffling his hair, "I did just as you said, nothing as enjoyment is here, what about you, did you enjoy the party?""I'm totally blown out, my head is heating up," Bryan said, making her chuckle, as all the guests left, Bryan said to John, "Mr. John, I'm tired, can you manage all these, I'll go to my room to get some rest." John nodded his head, "sure young master." With that, all of them returned to their rooms, Bryan closed the door and collapsed on the bed with a sigh.The night was eerily quiet within the Winterwood estate. Bryan laying on the bed, with his thoughts consumed by his earlier conversation with Mr. Hobbes. The revelation about Josephine and her past truly thrilled him, yet his determination to uncover the truth burned brighter than
