" On the eleventh of this month, you are as poor as a Church rat. You couldn't pay your father's hospital bills and you are ready to wash a lady's underwear to get money. " But on the second day you become the wealthiest young man on earth. " The first ever twenty-one years old guy in Rainbow core college that could afford the latest car without breaking a sweat " One of the cops scoffed lightly and then added with his jaw setting at the end. " What is the source of your wealth Rex Louie " He wouldn't be speaking. He hasn't spoken any word since he got into the police station and was pushed into the dimly lighted room. Gael and Emilio were both forced to stand outside while he was taken into the room for questioning. Rex was baffled and restless as the important question weigh on his tired mind. ' Who would have tell on me and why? ' He thought to himself. ' How did Khalil know about my system? ' " Won't you be speaking you freak! " One out of the two cops yelled out as he sla
" Karson needs to be jailed. Rex, I think you should take this situation seriously. How dare he locked you up and then try to bash you? " " Let it go, Toni. I got more important things to focus on " They have all troop out of the station under the dark sky and has walked to the packing car just ahead. Toni Tank seems so much upset. He wonders what would be his fate if Rex who provides for the orphans and him got sentenced to jail. Suddenly he becomes curious and he stole a glance at the three boys as he wonders what would be the real source of Rex's wealth. The truth is Toni never bothers himself to find out because he comes into to an agreement with Rex in the beginning. " How do you know I was here Toni? " Rex suddenly asked when they arrived at his car. " We called him. Gael and I were afraid. We all know Karson doesn't want your health tomorrow because of the competition " Emilio explained and Rex frown slightly. " So who had called upon Lady Thelma? " " No one. I was su
Rainbow Core College students woke up early and the other students from far away were allowed in to witness this life-changing contest.Parents and other prestigious families were invited as well while thousands of media were presented. Some coaches from popular clubs are in attendance as well to see who got the trophy and who to sign into their team. The school banners hosted the beautiful and dominant images of Khalil Karson and Rex Louie for the males. While the Female's Sheila Thelma and Pearl Mae's pictures were displayed as well. It was scheduled that the female's competition will kick off before the males which was put for the main event since the majority of the attendance were interested in the male's finale. Almost everyone knows the enmity between Rex and Khalil. They understand it isn't just about the trophy anymore. That day the famous Quadrillionaire, Khalil's grandpa, Mr Riley himself also rode into Rainbow Core College to witness the winner. The competition star
" Accepting this trophy means a lot, Rex Louie. It means you will repesent the prestigious Rainbow Core College in any sport competition till you graduated. " Same goes for you, Sheila Thelma. Do you agree to this responsibility? " Rex was so excited to even mutters any words. He stood still before the shiny trophy and nodded. Sheila on the other hand couldn't stop gasping in awe. She still couldn't believe she won the race. Pearl and Khalil were there too but they have been given their bouquet each. The arena now remains silent as everyone waited for the trophy to be lifted. " Please Sheila and Rex, who are your guardian? They should be present so..." " They are mine. I am her mother and also his guardian. Please make way " Lady Thelma interrupted gracefully as she Marched forward with a smile on her face. Karson had his hands clenched into a fist as his eyes went red with great anger and disappointment. He had given all he has just for his son to win but all his efforts ha
" I can't believe you will be so useless after all I have done just to make you win the trophy! " Karson thundered to his son who stood before him with his head bowed. Khalil had lost the competition and had did Karson so sad. " I can't believe that stupid daughter of Thelma will win the race. And that stupid sister of mine, Thelma feeling on top of the world " Karson gritted his teeth angrily as the thought of the day before crossed his mind. The previous night after the Rileys family had returned to their mansion, Pa Riley had thrown a big party in celebration of Sheila's achievement. Pa Riley had gone far to declare Sheila as his granddaughter officially. Never had Lady Thelma been so proud. " Father...I am so sorry I failed you. I would have won but .." " But what? " Karson cut in angrily. " You made that weirdly beautiful young man steal your spotlight " He thought for some time then gritted his teeth. " I want you to break things up with that loser, Pearl. We wanted he
The playboys alighted from their car in a jiffy and rush into the orphanage home. Rex was devastated when he heard Toni Tank's deed. He feels so guilty and regretful. How could he have trusted such a man with those innocent kids? He ran into the hall with his two friends behind him. They had to stop abruptly in the hallway because of the silence that greeted them. The previous night when they had visited the hallway has been happy and the kids were running around. Rex gulped down so hard and then Marched into the room of the lady who had given him the call. Stacy's room is the first in the hall and Rex had to knock on it for permission. She is a lady after all and her privacy has to be respected. " Who... Who is it? " The voice asked from inside very fearfully and Rex gritted his teeth. What has he done? " It's Rex. You all can come out now. I'm here..." He hasn't finished his words before the door burst open and the kids troop out to hug him. Stacy as well steps out with h
" You are kidding. You can't be serious Sheila " Rex mutters weakly. " Toni is bad, yes but he won't dare sells off the kids to a human trafficker, right? " " He did Rex and... This man he sold them to is called Zhu and He lives in a village in the heart of China" At Sheila's declaration, The playboys couldn't move an inch. Emilio blew out heavily while Gael gritted his teeth. As for Rex, he dropped his jaw as he thinks about the fate of the kids. " What do you think Zhu used the kids for? They are too little to do anything " He said and Sheila made another research. The playboys watched in silence and let her do the job. At last, she sagged her shoulders and pushed away from the laptop. " Zhu is a human trafficker and Toni has done a transaction with him. I can't get any more information about him. Not even where he lives exactly but I can tell the village " " How can we find an unidentified Chinese man? " Emilio asked." Well, he is quite infamous for his wicked act. There is
The taxi stopped before the asylum home and Rex Louie alighted from it with a briefcase in his grip. He smoothen his T-shirt with his palm and let out a shaky sigh when he saw the gate opens with his permission. He owns two cars. One of the most expensive and luxurious ones a man could get. One of them, the first one has a flat tire so he left it in RCC since he has no time to fix it while the second one is with Emilio. The young beautiful man steps into the home of those who are mentally ill and lets out a shaky sigh. He Marched to the receptionist and the lady took his detail. Rex shrugged his shoulder and then provided her with his real information. " I am here to see a man call Louie. He is the first son of Pa Riley. Do you perhaps have his documents here? " The Lady behind the desk quickly nodded. As she had seen his handsome face and thought he look so much familiar. " Here is it sir. His details are there and the nurse who is caring for him " " Give it here. I should t

When she was busy dealing with it, going through the necessary document to nab the hardened criminal, her assistant, Faha quickly makes her way to her desk. " Ma'am? Ma'am?? " " Yes? " Luxury replied without looking up from her work and the other lady fidget a little before saying the word. " Evelyn Dillion had arrived to the building ma'am and currently she is in ... Your husband's office " At this point Luxury stop abruptly as her heart fell. Gently she suck on her breath and then wonders. The previous day Her husband has given her hopes. In fact he had promised to turn a total new leaf id she will help him make the case successful. Luxury look down to the neat papers and the old before her. In order to do his bidding she had go far as to resume early that morning. As usual she tried to wave off the jealousy in her heart
The Playboys troop out into the dining Hall where other students had settled down as well. Everyone would love to sit with them but the three men took the table at the Empty corner. Rex Louie looks around briefly to see Sheila just coming in. The young lady stops abruptly and looks around, finding a seat. Her eyes caught that of Rex's and her heart thudded. She was about to look away when the young Octillionaire wave her to come forward. " Uh... Thank you " She appreciated the moment she settled down. " The journey has been tedious. I was already making to sleep when the announcement came through " " You drink? " Rex asked her with his eyes narrow but the lady shook her head in the negative. " Good " At that moment Pearl also makes her entry with a smile on her face. She look cheerful now that she had prepared a perfect plan on how to win back the heart of Rex Louie. Pearl look around but it didn't take her long before she saw the playboys at the corner. At once she goes to the
Rex Louie pushed open the door and step in gently. His eyes were guarded. He turn oblivion mind to Khalil who entered the spacious living room after him. Mrs. Grant had done him right. He had won and provided two weeks of vacation for everyone. He is the rightful owner of that beautiful room but as usual, Khalil had managed to squeeze himself in. Rex Louie headed into the bedroom immediately. He vows to keep the room only to himself. Khalil could bunk on the couch in the living room for all he cares. Rex Louie took his little luggage and pushed open the bedroom door. Upon stepping in, cold ominous wind splashed wickedly across his face, startling him for a heart-stopping seconds. Rex Louie managed to suck in his breath at this sudden unexpected occurrence. He open his blue eyes and look around only to see the swift movement that passed through and disappear into thin air. Rex Louie could vow he saw someone or should he say something? He ran to the window and peer down but his
The bus finally skidded to a stop and Rex Louie wake up from his hours of slumber. In the recent days, he had barely slept but throughout the ride to the island of P and D, he have a good one. The buses ease into the gorgeous island and Rex Louie wakes up to the gasps from the students.He raised his head and was also awestruck to see how beautiful everywhere is. A smile touched his lips and he nodded carefully in acknowledgment. The government had done right by them. The Island of P and D is just the perfect site for vacation. Upon their arrival, the administrator, a vibrant woman with too much lipstick walks out of the large building ahead. The island of P and D has a soothing environment. A place that gives a calming and relaxing effect. However, it has an aura that suggested extreme heat and excess sun which might provide blisters later on. Though all the arrangements have been made for the RCC students to want for nothing. The building where they would be staying is just
The five long buses ease out of Rainbow Core College and step into the busy road. Every other vehicle makes way for the students to pass through. It was quite an achievement, everyone says, that Rex Louie was able to secure the tickets for two weeks excursion for RCC.Now each bus contains Thirty-six students. They got an instructor who sat beside the driver as well. The bus where the Playboys are hosted is Khalil Karson as well as his two friends Chris and Donald. They both were the exact ones who beat Rex Louie up to a pulp on the day he caught Pearl in Khalil's home. The young Octillionaire sat beside the window and gaze out without seeing anything. He looks so gloomy and heartbroken. " I wonder what is wrong with him " Khalil who sat behind Rex Louie mutters to his friends. " He must have had a bad day " They chuckled mockingly but stopped abruptly when Gael turn to glare at them.Chris and Donald quickly look away while Khalil did after some seconds. " Rex you need to chee
It's a gloomy day. A very sad one for the Playboys. Rex Louie had never expected his heart to be broken again. He allowed his friends to take away the body of Micah May and do the needful. For what seemed like an eternity he didn't move or speak. He only watches in silence at the blank space. After some time Emilio appears in the doorway. He debated on how possible to present his speech. " Come along now Rex. Let's go " Rex replied silently. He stood up from the bed and packed all his belongings. He didn't speak or react. He gets into the backseat of the car and Gael who still had dirt in his hands returns from the backyard while sweating profusely. He had just put the body of Micah May to rest beside that of her family who were buried in the backyard of that house. Gael washes his hands later on with Emilio who helps out too. They then put up all the curtains and open the windows. Before they left the house Forever they gaze around. " I wonder what happened " Gael mutters s
On Day Three Rex Louie woke up to feel Micah's body resting on his. Her hair and head were resting on his arm. He kissed her forehead gently when he realized she is still sound asleep. The night before has been deliriously exciting. He slowly made to pull her off but the young lady sleepily burrows closer to him. For some minutes Rex waited for her to drift back to sleep before he ease her away gently and get off the bed. He reached for his briefs and trouser and then after dressing he walk off with his cell phone to the living room. Rex Louie had finally arrived at a decision. All through the night, he had thought about it.On this thought he fell asleep without arriving at a decision but that day, that third and the last day of his indoor task, he knows what to do. Slowly he held up his cell phone and put a call to Sharon. The competent doctor picked after some time. " Hi, Rex. Good morning " " Good morning Mother"" Emilio told me about the excursion tonight. How are you ho
That morning Rex Louie woke up alone in bed. He slowly sat up and look around tiredly. He wonder where Micah went to but then he overheard the sound of cutleries. At that moment his cell phone rang out and he answered the call from Gael. " Rex? How are you? " " I just woke up. It's been a long time I had such a sound sleep " " And Micah? " " She is in the kitchen. Getting the breakfast ready, I guess. I think she's feeling better today " A sigh escaped Gael's lips at the other end and he asked. " What plans do you have? You got only till tomorrow. What are you going to do to make her last days beautiful? " Rex gritted his teeth for some seconds and then nodded. " I don't know. I will obey all her wishes. Tell me, where is Emilio? " " He left for class. I am on my way too. Almost all the professors have asked of you. The students noticed you are not around "Rex Louie smiles gently at this. His eyes vary around the room in thought and he soon stares at his reflection in the
The ringing of Rex's cell phone woke him up from his twenty minutes slumber. His eyes are heavy as he answered the call sleepily. " Rex we got the footage from the airport. Though it cost a fortune before the security could hand it over " Immediately Rex snapped fully awake when he heard these words from Gael. " Where Is it? Who is it? " " We fax it to your laptop already. Go watch for yourself " Rex swiftly goes to the living room where he had dropped his backpack but then stops abruptly as he looks around. It's still dark. Pitched dark. no sun penetrates and the time says 10: 45am. He picked up his backpack and pulled out his laptop. Rex Louie opens it swiftly and punches at the keyboard for some time before locating the footage. With keen eyes, Rex watched the footage almost ten times. He saw the one who had shot at Romeo. He looks different and his race is just so obvious. Rex Louie shuddered when he gets the answer and swiftly he picked up his cell phone and put a cal
