“He is …” Isabella stuttered.
“Isabella, answer me right now! Who is this miserable man on the floor right here?" Lucas gritted his teeth. Isabella stared at Alex. Her demeanor changed. She smirked. “Lucas, this is my miserable husband I told you about. "Heaven knows that I never wanted to get involved with him in any way!” Isabella sneered. “Isabella, you call me miserable?” Alex asked, pointing at himself as he gazed at her. “Yes, you are! You are a poor, wretched brat who has nothing to be proud of except his in-laws name.” Isabella scowled. Lucas turned to Alex. He stared at him from his head to his toe. “You are quite miserable," she said. I can’t believe you were able to get the opportunity to be with this amazing lady.” Lucas frowned. “I never wanted this marriage at first! He forced me into it! He even tried to rape me just so he could bear our family name. He is very....” “You have said a lot, Isabella, dear. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with him.” Lucas interrupted. Alex stood up from the floor. Tears were already filling his eyes. He has tried everything possible to please Isabella, but he keeps getting humiliation in return. He bent his head in shame as tears rushed down his face. “Oh, poor dude. He is crying. Can you imagine? He is too weak! You don’t deserve to be a living thing. You are poor, weak, and wretched!” Lucas yelled at him. Alex slightly raised his head. He stared at Isabella and Lucas and then at the package on the bed. He can’t believe that the pack of prophylactics in the package was to be used on his wife. Not only that, they had started having sex even before he arrived with the package. He thought that keeping quiet and walking away would make him look like a fool who couldn’t fight for himself. “Do yourself good by gently walking out of here. You look so shameful.” Lucas scowled at him. “Is he crying?” Isabella laughed. Alex glared at Lucas. “What is he planning on doing? Pouncing on me? You’re too weak to fight with me. I can just fling you through the window.” Lucas mocked him. Alex gritted his teeth. He took a step forward. He noticed that his height was nothing compared to that of Lucas. “Hey, do you want to fight with me?” Lucas laughed. Alex pushed him to the floor. “Alex, what are you doing? You better stop it now! Lucas’ family will kill you if they find out about this!” Isabella screamed. “I don’t care! He humiliated me, and he shall get worse!” Alex landed punches on Lucas’ face until he couldn’t speak any more. Blood was rushing down from Lucas’ nostrils. Isabella kept pleading with Alex to stop, but he gave deaf ears to everything she was saying. Isabella rushed to the telephone and called security. “I have called the security, and once they find you here, they’ll make sure that you’re thrown out of here and humiliated in public!” Isabella yelled. “I don’t care!” Alex yelled back at her. The security rushed into the hotel a few seconds later. They separated Alex from Lucas. “Young man, are you stupid? Do you know that he is the owner of this hotel?” The eldest of the security guards landed a huge slap on Alex’s face. “Ahh!” Alex muttered in pain as he held his face with his palms. “Make sure he is thrown out of this hotel and denied access to this hotel ever again!” Isabella yelled at the security guard. “Yes ma’am!” The security guards replied. Isabella rushed to Lucas, who looked lifeless with bruises all over his face and blood rushing from his nostrils. Lucas winced in pain. “I’ll make sure I kill Alex, I promise you!” Lucas muttered as he held Isabella’s face. “Okay, I’ll join you immediately after I finalize our divorce.” Isabella replied. “Divorce? I would gladly do that, but I can assure you that you can never kill me!” Alex chuckled; his face was red. “Shut up!” The security guard hit his head as the others handcuffed him. Alex was taken out of the hotel by the security guards. The people in the hotel stared at him. “Is he not the son-in-law of the great Patrick family?” The people present at the hotel muttered. Alex could hear them, but he ignored them. He bent his head in shame as he was taken away. The security guard uncuffed him and pushed him out of the gates. “Make sure you don’t step foot here ever again!” The youngest of them scowled at him. Alex groaned in pain. He stood up from the floor and stared at his scooter. Tears flowed down his cheeks. He has done everything a husband can do for his wife, but all he gets in return is cheating. “Once I’m rich, I will make sure they regret ever hurting me! I will make them bow down to me, pleading for forgiveness!” Alex screamed as he knelt on the floor. He felt his stomach rumbling. He placed his hands on his tummy, but then he felt a bit sick. “What could be wrong with me?” He placed his other hand on his forehead. Blood slowly slipped from a corner of his mouth. “Blood?” Alex stared at the floor. Alex tried raising his head in order to stop the flow of blood, but then he coughed and the blood rushed out heavily. “Am I going to die? Is this how it all ends? I haven’t gotten my revenge on any of them! I don’t want it to end this way! I don’t want to die a villain!” Alex muttered as the blood gushed from his mouth. He collapsed on the floor. Alex slowly opened his eyes. He stared around the place where he was and noticed he was lying on a hospital bed. “Where am I?” Alex asked, staring around the room. He stared at his hands and noticed there was a drip on them. Then he heard an unfamiliar feminine voice which sounded robotic. {Host found, system activated.}Alex stared around the room to confirm where the voice was coming from.“Who is that?” Alex muttered.Alex noticed the nurses and other patients couldn’t hear the voice. The patients were sleeping on their beds while the nurses were walking around the room.A hologram screen appeared on the wall with the description:Congratulations, Mr. Alex Patrick. You have unlocked the Super Wealth and Revenge system.“What is this sight, and how did they get to know my name?” Alex questioned.The description on the hologram changed:{Name: Alex Patrick Calvin}{Race: Human}{Age: Twenty-two}{Strength: Weak}{Skills: Zero}{Total task: zero}{Balance: 10,000,000,000}Alex was speechless. He kept rubbing his eyes to confirm that he was seeing clearly.The feminine voice, which sounded robotic, came once again:Congratulations, Mr. Alex. This wealth system allows you to withdraw any amount you like from your balance, but there are certain rules you must abide by.“This keeps getting weird. Ten trill
“Ten of ten thousand dollars? You must be kidding. Aren’t you?” The cashier stared at Alex.Alex brought out his card from his pocket and dropped it in front of the cashier.“Here, withdraw the hundred million.” Alex said this with a stern look on his face.The cashier picked up the card. He entered it in his ATM machine.“Would you like to pay with your pin? Or…“I’ll pay with my fingerprint." Alex walked closer to the ATM machine. He placed his thumb on the machine.{Payment Processing}Alex stared at the ATM machine. It took quite a minute, and the payment was yet to be processed. Alex felt a little uneasy. It was his first time trying out the system, and he has already boasted to the cashier. He didn’t want to be humiliated.“What if this was fake? Was I hallucinating when I saw the balance in my account? I hope not,” Alex thought.The cashier gave Alex a mocking sneer. The look on the cashier’s face shows that he can’t wait to mock Alex when the payment fails.“This is taking quit
The man didn’t stop at kissing and pressing himself against Isabella; he started unbuttoning her shirt.Alex couldn’t hide his anger; he frowned and looked very furious. He made an attempt to go to the car, but then he paused.He took a deep breath. He assured himself that this wasn’t the first time he had found her cheating. The first one was from the hotel room, the second one was inside the boutique, and now it's inside the car.Alex remembered how she treated him like an outcast. She gave him unforgettable scars on his body and also flogged him every time she was upset. (She actually gets upset every day.)“Maybe my feelings for her don’t matter; she actually wanted me dead. I think I should let her go. The only way I can make her pay for this is by taking everything that makes her happy and watching her fall on her knees, pleading for forgiveness.” Alex assured himselfAlex waved at a taxi. The taxi took him to a company that deals in cars. One of the most popular companies, which
{Congratulations, Mr. Alex Cavil! You’ve succeeded in spending your wealth system bonus. Now, your first mission is to divorce Isabella}“Divorce Isabella? That’s too sudden. "It looks like the system knows everything about me.” Alex muttered as he stared at the screen.Alex heaved a deep sigh. He remembered that this was his first mission, and it would also help increase his point and balance. He thought about it for a few seconds. He had to sacrifice the little feeling he had for Isabella.{Your first mission should be completed in twenty-four hours.}The screen disappeared.“Twenty-four hours? This is too weird.” Alex sighed.He put off his tuxedo and shoes. He knew he had to act poor to make Isabella beg for their divorce. It’s actually a big ceremony. Noble men and ladies would be in attendance.Alex put on his torn trousers and tacky shirt, his delivery jacket, and then his old, worn-out sandals. He pretended to be a delivery guy, delivering an anniversary package to Mrs. Madison
“Yes, Father. That would make me feel much better. I’m tired of Alex. He hates me a lot, and I don’t think I can do anything about that.” Isabella sniffed.Mr.Patrick was speechless. He had many things going through his mind. He has kept Alex trapped in his household by making him marry Isabella, and letting him go would require returning his inheritance to him.“Isabella, are you sure of this?” Johnson asked, staring at her.Isabella simply nodded her head. Johnson lifted his head to stare at his father. Their eyes met, and they understood what was going through each other's minds.Johnson glared at Alex, but Alex simply chuckled. Johnson found it weird. Alex felt much happier that Isabella had made the divorce process much easier for him. It was his first mission, and it went smoothly with Isabella’s help.“Patrick, why don’t you allow them to get a divorce? Your daughter has been suffering for several months by staying in this miserable marriage with Alex. I think it would be a grea
{Name: Alex Patrick Calvin}{Race: Human}{Age: Twenty-two}{Strength: Normal}{Total task: 1}{Balance: 10,000,000}{Congratulations, Mr. Alex, on completing your first mission. Your second mission is on the way.}Alex’s face beamed with a smile as he realized that he had completed his first mission and had been awarded. Alex realized that the system was also helping him on his revenge journey. He thought it was just a wealth system, but he clearly didn’t read through it at first.Alex lay down on his bed as he stared at the ceiling. His official divorce with Isabella was the next day, and he would also be meeting the board of directors the next day. He wondered if Isabella would call off the divorce after the news outlet released the news of his appointment as CEO.He heaved a sigh of relief before dozing off.**THE NEXT DAY**Alex tossed around the bed before it dawned on him that he'd be meeting with the board of directors. He quickly got up from the bed.He took his bath and put o
Henry stared at the little boy as tears flowed down his cheeks. He gently wiped it off with his handkerchief. He placed his hands on the little boy’s hair. “What’s your name?” He asked the little boy.The little boy stared at home without saying a word. He asked for the second time: “What’s your name? Little boy. ” The little boy continued staring at him. “Is he deaf and dumb?” Henry thought.He asked once again; “You can be comfortable around me. I won't hurt you, I'm your uncle. Okay?” Henry smiled.The little boy stared at him and smiled gently. “You smile? Why don't you talk?” Henry asked but got no reply either.The little boy’s smile made him cheer up. He can talk whenever he wants but at least he understands what he says. “I will take you home. Okay? No one's gonna hurt you again. Okay? You're safe with me.”The little boy nodded his head.Henry smiled. He was rest assured. He took the little boy to his home. He doesn't want Mrs. Cavil and her family, to
Henry’s first day at work was really a tiresome one. He had to pay many bills and loans owed by the company. The loan was more than 200 million dollars, the former CEO mentioned earlier. He was much surprised to realise that the so-called multi-billionaire company that everyone envied is in a huge debt of half a billion dollars!Henry picked up his suitcase to leave the office. He needs to visit Max in the prison before heading to the school to pick Mike.He walked through the doorway. “Excuse me sir, please you need to sign this!” Clinton said walking faster towards Henry.Henry heaved a deep sigh before turning to him. “What’s that? It's getting late and I need to pick my son from school.” Henry sighed.Clinton stared at him in confusion. “When did he get a wife?” He wondered. “You have a son? How did that happen?” Clinton asked. “You don't need to know. My sister's son.” “Ohh, the deaf and dumb boy?!” Clinton laughed.Henry glared at him in annoyance. H
