" Guys Sheila won't speak to me. I mean, I apologized already but she still won't forgive me " " I understand her plight. It's normal if she never speaks to you again " " Come on Gael. You should be consoling Rex. Not do the opposite " They were in their room and on their bed. Rex laid down, face up while Gael sat down fiddling with his pen. As for Emilio, he laid down, belly to the bed, and books scattered all over his bed. Rex has returned from the hall where he had begged Sheila but the lady turns deaf ears to his plea. " I have the feeling things would go ugly after my dad returns. What do you think guy ? " Rex asked with a low sigh and Gael turn his gaze to him before giving his shoulder a small shrug. " Your dad is brilliant and Smart. I am sure he will beat all odds and come out strong " " I pray Pa Riley wakes up soon. I have the feelings Karson is after his wealth. Do you hear what Kahlil said the other night? " Emilio asked but he didn't wait for any response before
" You have to save my Grandpa. He is dying. What did you do to him? " " I had to inject him. He has to die for my son to live Rex " Sharon replied. " My only son, Emilio " The tension is high and Rex couldn't breathe. The two humans mean a lot to him. He has to save both of them at the same time. Swiftly he gets to Sharon and grabbed her wrists very gently. " I will save Emilio. He is my friend, my best friend. I will do everything in my power to bring him to safety but you have got to save my Grandpa too " Sharon's head snapped up and her eyes stare hard into that of Rex's. " Rex this is a very precarious situation. It involves the life of my son..." " Two lives. That of my grandpa and my best friend. A friend that is like a brother to me. I will save Emilio. I know how this is. I know what to do and how to do it. Save the life of my grandpa and I will bring Emilio to you, alive " He didn't wait for any words from Sharon before he left her and Storm out. He gets to the hall
" No, that's impossible. Romeo made me this. My son, the one I told you about. He lives in the asylum and uh... Just get busy with his skills " Rex wanted to make more enquires but then the door flipped open and Sheila walks in. She ran to the bedside and took Emilio's hand. The latter smiled at her as though to inform her he is fine. " I am so worried. I'm glad you are safe " She said softly with a small smile. Rex automatically forgot about his conversation with Nurse Cassandra at that moment and he walks to Emilio. They have a light conversation and Sheila decided to surprise them. She brought out three identical bracelets from her bag. On this bracelet was written, PLAYBOYS. She distributed it to them each and smile at their confused expression. " It might appear as a bracelet to everyone but to you three and me it is a tracking device. Whenever you three are nearer it will blink. See... " Truth to her words the bracelet began to blink rapidly. She continues. " You can lo
Lady Thelma's face turns white with shock at this new information. She couldn't breathe or move her finger for seconds. " You are joking. It's expensive Karson. Louie will never let this slide. Don't you see Rex? Have you ever been in his presence? " That young man is made and designed for nothing but grace, power, and wealth. No one could dim the light of his glory. " Isn't that how Louie is too? Before you murdered his wife and made him lose his son? We have to take lives before we defeated him. " That is how Rex is. He is Louie's son. The two are just the same " Karson didn't reply for a long time. He only continues to stare at his sister in silence. At last, he walks slowly to the couch and lowered himself on it. " Louie wasn't defeated. He ruses us. He made us believe he is vulnerable." His son, Rex didn't die in that accident. Instead, he was saved and brought up by another man. " A cobbler, Willis. Now Willis has a son no one knows about. Not even Louie I presume. " Af
" You are the woman, the only doctor who had cured me of my illness. Of course, I should bless you with everything I have. Tell me your wish and I would grant you " " Though I never expected to be rewarded. Rex Louie has been helpful and upright. I would always be of help whenever he wants me to. " But Pa Riley since you have asked what I wanted, I should tell you. I would love to be a doctor in this hospital. " I would love to cure the sick and save lives. Where else can I carry out this task than in a prestigious hospital like this one? " That is how Pa Riley made Sharon, Emilio's mother a doctor in St Louie hospital that night. Everyone dispersed after concluding to get the DNA done and the next day the playboys left for class. Rex's class that day feature Khalil as well. As much as he hated Khalil's presence he had no choice but to make do till the end of the class. However, earlier before the class comes to an end, the innocent professor decided to ask a question. " So c
Louie stops the car before a nice beach and stares ahead from the windshield. " Your mother's favorite place. The only place she finds peace " He said to Rex who shuddered slightly. Slowly Louie alighted and walk towards the river bank. He knows his son will tag along without being invited so he didn't bother to call on him. Minutes late when Rex has found the courage to lift a limb he walks ahead to stand beside his father who stood still. " When Karson's wife started behaving badly Rex, your mother would love to fight squarely with her just like you did today. " But I would rather she go sightseeing and settled her mind so I brought her here one fine evening and guess what she did. " She wept when she saw how beautiful a horizon could be. I bought the whole place later on. " Since then she loves coming to this place and watching the unsettled water to the horizon. With you In her belly and a smile on her face Rex, she is the most beautiful woman " Louie finally turns to sta
It's finally the day everyone had waited for. The day the DNA results would be read out loud to Pa Riley and his family.Rex Louie woke up that day to the news going on. The TV in the room and the newscaster speaking. He Feels antsy and agitated about the outcome altogether With the system telling him to spend not more than twenty million dollars. Luckily for him, that day RCC was on a day holiday so the playboys do not have a class to attend.Emilio Harlan was in the kitchen cooking breakfast while Gael Summer was dressing up for that day. Rex Louie however just woke up and sat still on his bed with his gaze glued to the space where he alone could see the system displayed before him. His thoughts were miles away and he was bothered greatly so he didn't notice when Gael walk into the room and flopped on his bed. Neither did he hear Emilio calling out to them that the breakfast is ready. " Rex! " Emilio finally yelled out, bringing him back to reality. " Rex, what is going on? Yo
" Where is Rex? Where is Rex Louie? Where is my son? " Louie asked the two best friends of Rex. " I don't know where he is but we can locate him by using our tracking device " Gael replied politely. He pressed the power button of his bracelet and at once the location of where Rex was displayed. " Dad he is in the orphanage home in Sherry's state. We will take you " " Sure. Let's go. Hop in both of you " Louie said as he enters his car and drove off. Emilio who sat beside him tells him the way while Gael listens. At last, Louie pulled into the garage of the orphanage home. The older man alighted before the two young men and he stare up at the large building. " Why does the name of this orphanage home is named ' THE PLAYBOYS '? " He asked in awe and Emilio replied. " Rex Louie owns it. He gets it for the orphans but he named it after us because of the Bond we shared " For some minutes Louie didn't move. He only look up to the tall buildings and lastly sighed. His son has achie

" 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
