Donald stood silently in front of the couple, uncertain about what action to take after being berated by Clarrisa. His eyes darted between them while his mind raced out, trying to findwords to ease the tension. TWilliam gave him a cold smile, a reminder of his precarious situation. It was a smile that spoke volumes, a silent message that echoed louder than any words could. Clarrisa, on the other hand, stared at her number one rival with a menacing smirk, her eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of having put Donald in his place.The atmosphere between them was tense.“William, Clarrisa. It’s nice meeting you guys again.”A voice broke the silence, calm and smooth, carrying no negative intention. It was a voice William recognized, the voice of the only person he respected during his high school years. “Jordan,” William smiled and greeted him, stretching out his hand. They shook hands warmly, a handshake that carried the weight of past memories and shared experiences.“You have grown t
Inside a small hidden room in Starkcom Hotel, a young man could be seen, chained to the chair he was sitting on. His eyes were blindfolded, and his limbs were bound to the chair, preventing him from moving. This young man, caught in this dire situation, was none other than Jack Froster.The room was dimly lit, casting eerie shadows on the walls, which only added to the sense of foreboding. At that moment, the door creaked open, and Penber walked in. His muscular figure was accentuated by the sleeveless shirt he wore, revealing the hardened lines of his biceps and forearms. . He was holding a pail of water in his hands as he approached Jack.Now standing in front of Jack, Penber unceremoniously splashed the water in the pail on his face, causing Jack to wake up abruptly from his sleep. The cold shock of the water was immediate and jarring.“Ahh, Ahhh!” Jack struggled to breathe as the water slid down his face. He spat out water from his mouth and sneezed frequently, his body shaking v
It was the early hours of a peaceful morning.At the event house, everyone had woken up, taken their baths, and even finished a very yummy breakfast prepared by the expert chefs. At that moment, all of them stood in front of the massive parking lot. The early sunlight cast a golden glow on the gathering, creating an almost magical atmosphere that promised a day full of possibilities.A lot of cars belonging to them were parked there; it was a very unique and luxurious scene. The diversity of the cars, from vintage classics to the latest models, made the parking lot look like an exclusive auto show.But there was a problem.“The number of cars here is 93. If we drive all 93 cars to Vanos Movie House, there won’t be enough space for us,” Donald voiced the thought troubling everyone at the moment. He glanced around, noticing the concerned expressions on his friends' faces, as they all tried to come up with a solution.Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with his words. There were 100 of
Inside a small office in Motherland Orphanage.“William, you have grown so big and handsome. You are no longer that young boy who cries for a cupcake,” a kind elderly woman dressed in a black and white nun uniform said with a smile on her face as she observed William. The years had done nothing to diminish her warmth, and her eyes sparkled with the same kindness that William remembered so well.William smiled back at the kind woman. She is Mother Milian.She is the closest person he has to a mother. Back when he was little, she would take care of him with unrequited love as though he were her own son. She would bathe him, feed him, and tell him bedside stories. She was also the one who taught him how to read. Her gentle guidance and unwavering support had been a beacon of hope for him during his formative years, shaping him into the man he had become.Among the few people William appreciates in this world, she is at the top. His heart swelled with gratitude as he looked at her, the wo
Carlos led William to visit the little orphans, who were currently in the big hall called "Happy Dining" by Mother Milan. It is a very large hall where all the children sit to eat their food, sharing their meals with joy and laughter. The room was filled with the sound of clinking cutlery and the happy chatter of children, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that could instantly lift anyone's spirits.As William stepped into the place, a smile appeared on his face, a nostalgic warmth spreading through his chest. Memories of his own childhood flooded back, and he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of connection to these young souls.“Everyone, look who is here, your legendary big brother,” Carlos announced loudly, drawing the attention of the young ones who immediately turned their eyes towards the entrance where their awesome big brother could be seen standing tall, a handsome uncle. The children’s eyes widened with excitement and curiosity, whispers of admiration quickly spreadi
At the movie house, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet as the first scene appeared on the large cinematic TV. Each person in the crowd, ranging from excited teenagers to elderly couples, leaned forward in their seats, eager to immerse themselves in the story unfolding on the screen.Everyone fixed their gaze on the screen, watching as a young, handsome actor knelt on the ground, begging his uncle to treat his little sister, who was very ill and on the verge of death. His uncle, a minor villain character, rejected him and kicked him out. The desperation in the young man's voice and the cold indifference of his uncle created a visible tension in the room.In the crowd, there were different reactions to this scene, and they all despised the villain while pitying the main hero. Some covered their mouths in shock, while others clutched their armrests in anger.

Inside Carlo's office, where two hacking setups were located, Carlos and William watched the embarrassing scene with grins on their faces. The room was dimly lit, filled with the soft hum of computers and the flicker of multiple screens displaying various data points. The atmosphere was charged with the satisfaction of a successful operation.“That feels good,” Carlos said with a cold grin, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of triumph and malice. After avenging his friend, he was finally satisfied. “Haha, now he'll be too busy figuring out how to stop this shame. That way, he will stop bothering me and my wife,” William laughed, his voice echoing with relief and amusement. If others saw William, they would know this was the first genuine laugh he had shown in a long time. His usually serious demeanor melted away, revealing a side of him rarely seen by anyone outside of Carlos.However, his statement was a bombshell for Carlos. “What the actual fuck! When did you get married, and why
Thirty minutes had passed since Donald's embarrassment.At this moment, he was sitting alone at the back. Kate had left the moment he arrived, excusing herself to find another seat. .Donald understood her reasoning; she wouldn't want to sit with someone who had undergone such humiliation. It would be very bad for her reputation. After all, she had her own social standing to maintain, and being associated with a figure of ridicule would only tarnish it.The others distanced themselves from him, some even left the cinema, while others found vacant seats in other areas. It was as if he had become a leper, someone to be avoided at all costs. The space around him seemed to grow, expanding as people moved away, leaving him in an isolated bubble of shame.Donald sat there all alone, wallowing in his disgrace. The isolation was visible, a heavy weight pressing down on him. "Who could have done that?" he questioned himself."Damn it! They have gone ahead and ruined my reputation in front of
