Sophia sleeps naked beside a naked Alex, about a meter apart. "Alex," she calls softly."Yes?" he responds, his voice tentative."We have kissed and slept naked together, right?"Alex tries to understand what Sophia wants but simply answers, "Yes, miss.""You can just call me Sophia," she says, standing up and putting her clothes back on. "Since we have kissed and slept together, we are now husband and wife."Alex is too shocked to fully grasp her words. They weren't even touching, let alone having sex.They were simply sleeping naked next to each other, only sharing a kiss. But he decides to play along. "Yes," he replies."Go wear your clothes now," Sophia instructs.He has no other option but to follow. He puts on his clothes and sits on a chair that Sophia has prepared. There is a paper on the table."Since we are already sleeping together, I want you to sign the marriage paper," she says firmly."Yes," Alex says, following the charade and signing the paper."This paper will be se
Alex moves swiftly, his hand morphing into diamond as he strikes the man's face, which suddenly hardens into iron."Let's see which is tougher, diamond or iron," Alex laughs, landing several more blows until the iron man staggers under the relentless assault.Each time the man tries to attack, Alex seems to anticipate his moves, effortlessly countering each one. Within minutes, the iron man lies unconscious on the floor, reverting to his human form."He’s one of our bodyguards," Sophia recognizes the man, her voice a mix of surprise and concern."Seems like you need to rearrange everything," Alex says, his tone matter-of-fact."Can you handle it?" Sophia asks, her eyes searching his for certainty."I only need your permission," he replies confidently."Then do it," she nods decisively. "You have my full permission. I don’t care what you have to do, just get as much as you can from James's control.""Are you really trusting this idiot who cannot read?" Christina interjects, disbelief e
Sophia sits in her room feeling gloomy, wondering if she just made the biggest mistake of her life by marrying her bodyguard to get away from the Wellington family.Her family is attacking her heartlessly.“Please tell me, how can we live without Wellington's support?” her aunt yells at her.“The whole world is looking for protection in this apocalyptic world, but you just cut off our last protection,” her uncle mocks. “For this idiot bodyguard?”If none of them are supporting her, at least they should give her privacy. Why does everyone keep using her as a sacrifice for their safety?“Do you want me to deal with them for you?” Alex asks, sitting beside her.“Do you have a way to do it?”“Sure, I have.”“You do?” Sophia asks in disbelief.“Let me talk to them, and I will finish your problem in a minute. I promise none of them will bother you ever again.”Sophia stands up, unsure how Alex will do it, but she knows she will definitely go crazy if this keeps happening.“Well, they have t
On the night, Sophia is sitting on the balcony, the cool breeze gently rustling her hair. Alex stands beside her, his presence comforting yet distant."Alex, I never knew you were so smart. Where did you learn that?" she asks, her voice curious."When I was small, in the orphanage, the team leader was always the strongest. Whoever didn't listen to him would get beaten until they did. So, I learned from him," Alex replies, his eyes reflecting the distant memories.Sophia laughs for a moment, the sound light and airy, but then her face becomes serious. "Alex, do you understand that you are working as a bodyguard for me?""Yes, Sophia.""What will happen when I fire you from being my bodyguard?"Alex looks up at the stars, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I will sign the divorce papers.""Do you understand that?" Sophia asked, a bit shocked. She always thought that Alex was an idiot; it would be hard to convince him later."Yes," Alex answered, his voice steady. "As a bodyguard, sometimes
Alex stares at the man and sighs."How immature," he mutters, sitting down and looking at Sophia, who is still talking with her friend, completely ignoring the man.He realizes that since Everheart broke free from the Wellingtons, many people have been trying to get into Everheart, hoping they could marry Sophia.Only a foolish man would believe that Sophia truly wants to marry her bodyguard, whom she just met a week ago. She is just using the bodyguard to break away from Wellington.The arrogant man is Hansen from the Carnegie family, once a very rich family that controls iron and all tanker ships.He can be considered one of the top five most powerful men in the academy. He really wants to marry Sophia, but with Wellington in the way, he doesn't dare make any moves.But now, looking at the bodyguard, it's impossible for him not to try to kick this poor guy out."When I am talking to you, you better listen to me, you maggot," Hansen says, his voice dripping with arrogance.For Alex,
A few days later, when Alex enters the men's restroom to relieve himself, a woman suddenly follows him in.“Hello, Alex?”“Miss, I think you entered the wrong restroom.”“No, I haven’t,” she responds, walking towards Alex and suddenly hugging him, trying to kiss him.“What are you trying to do?” Alex exclaims.The woman smiles while starting to remove her clothes, saying, “This…”She then runs out of the restroom, screaming, “Help me, help me, Alex is trying to rape me!”About four men suddenly rush in, pointing their fingers at Alex. “You, what the fuck are you doing! Raping a girl in broad daylight!”The woman hides behind them, her voice trembling. “Guys, please help me. He tried to rape me.”Alex feels a sinking realization that he is being falsely accused, with no way to defend himself. He knows rejection is useless now.He is brought to the disciplinary hall.“Alex, you tried to rape this girl, Henrietta. We will let the police handle this, but your acceptance to the academy is
The sword hits Alex's neck, but it shatters into two pieces.“Damn my Excalibur!” the man yelps, frustration evident in his voice.A woman, a gravity user, raises her hand, using her power to lift Alex's body into the air. Yet, Alex's feet remain firmly planted on the ground, rendering her efforts useless.Another man frantically draws his gun. As he fires, the bullet ricochets, striking his own leg. He collapses with a cry of pain, clutching his wounded limb.Alex grabs the large man and throws him effortlessly into a nearby tree. “Useless garbage,” he mutters, moving to stand by Sophia's side.“You really are powerful, Alex,” she praises, her eyes reflecting admiration.“No, I’m not. They’re just too weak,” he replies with a dismissive shrug.As they walk into the hall, Alex spots Professor Gill, the discipline leader. Anger flashes in his eyes as he strides forward.“Professor Gill!” Alex yells, his voice echoing through the hall. “You know in your heart I’m not making a mistake he
Henrietta runs away after hearing Alex shout, her heart pounding in her chest.Fear grips her tightly. “It’s just a coincidence,” she tries to convince herself.But after hours of feeling terrified, her body trembles uncontrollably, and she bites her finger unconsciously until it bleeds.Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, she screams and rushes to find Alex. She can't keep the million dollars if it means she will die.In the class, where the professor is still teaching and Alex stands near Sophia, Henrietta bursts through the door, shocking everyone.She hurries to Alex and grabs his hand. “I am sorry, I am really sorry. I didn't want to do it, but Jackson paid me a million dollars to accuse you of raping me. You did no mistake!”Everyone hears her confession and turns to Jackson.“Henrietta, what the hell are you saying? Don’t accuse me without a reason!” Jackson shouts, trying to defend himself.“I have the proof! You sent me a million dollars to falsely accuse Alex and I still hav
