Khalil arrived at the medical center and slowly walk into Nurse Cassandra's office. His father, Karson has sent him on an errand and there he is but he met Nurse Cassandra hurrying towards an unknown place. This finally arouses his suspicion. Khalil leans over the wall and watches carefully the woman without announcing his presence. When Nurse Cassandra has finished she picked up her bag and turn towards the exit only to see Khalil In the doorway. Fear gripped her heart immediately, rendering her legs useless. She immediately steps back even though Khalil hasn't made any movement yet. " Where are you off to? You seem to be in a lot of hurry. This got me curious now " He asked in a slurry voice and Cassandra shook her head fearfully. She knows it's only a matter of time before the handsome young man in her office pounces on her. She had been in his grip before and knows how Cruel he could be like his father. " Tell nurse cassandra. Where are you off to? " He asked again but thi
Rex arrived at the dormitory late that night feeling tired and hungry. When he alighted from his car he caught the sight of Nurse Cassandra pacing about. Abruptly he stop to stare at the agitated lady in confusion. He realized she was debating on whether to go in or not. His headlights were off but the sound of the car turns out to be not enough to announce his presence. Rex realized Nurse Cassandra too is stressed out from the whole Riley family drama. Slowly he marched towards her and folded his hands on his chest when he got just a few steps away. " You can tell me what is bothering you. Why would you pace about like that in the night? " His voice jerked the woman back to reality and she shivers when she saw him. " Uh...I have got nothing to say. Never mind " She heads out at once with the fear that Khalil might be watching from a corner. " I believe you will help me Nurse Cassandra," Rex said softly when the woman made to bypass him. " I know you are pure-hearted. I belie
" Will you shut the hell up, you miserable woman! " Karson yelled out angrily over the phone. " Are you sure she won't be coming in here today? Are you sure Nurse Belinda isn't awake? " " Yes sir. I injected her already. There is no way she will be making an appearance at Riley's mansion " Karson disconnected and let out a shaky sigh. His eyes redden already from lack of sleep and fury. The previous day has been hell for him. He felt like murdering Romeo Willis and Rex Louie already. But his hands were tied. He can't do anything to them. That is if he wishes to still live on. Everyone knows about his drama and charade and Louie concluded that it's all over. The father of Rex only sits back and watches his son do all the worrying and job. The truth is he has been healing. Unknown to Rex Louie his father has been ill. That morning in the Riley's mansion everyone has waken up early. They are all interested in finding out what Louie wanted to prove. " We shouldn't panic. There is
Rex Louie alighted from his car before the asylum home and he sigh heavily. He could see from the corner of his eyes that some reporters are lurking around. The news about him being the New heir has caused a ruckus. Pa Riley hasn't made him the official heir yet but a day will be fixed in the earliest future. The young Octillionaire stepped into the asylum home and headed into his brother, Romeo's room. When he got to the entrance he didn't find the two hefty men guarding his door. A smile curled up at the corner of his lips at this and he reached out to the doorknob and turn it. When he stepped into the comfy room he saw Romeo in the corner. His back was turned to him and he seem to be busy. Rex was cautious as he marched forward to him. " Romeo? " He called softly but no answer came. " Romeo? " Rex approached the true son of Willis and stops abruptly when he gets to his side. He saw him crying silently and this broke Rex's heart. Immediately he gets down on his two knees an
" Rex answered your cell phone. Ugh " Gael murmured as he slowly drifted awake thanks to Rex's cell phone ringing out loud. Rex Louie fluttered his eyes open and sit up. He reached for his cell phone and when he saw the name ' Dad ' on the screen, he sprang up from bed to answer it. The aroma of breakfast swirl around the room, however, making his tummy churn in hunger. " Rex meet me up later. We have a place to go to. Your mother's resting place " These words from Louie gladden Rex's heart so much and he becomes so eager. His real mother's grave. He will have a chance to see her at last. With a happy heart, Rex agreed and he disconnected to attend to Emilio who has been walking around. " Someone knows where Sheila is? " He asked no one in particular as he couldn't find her in his bed. " In the kitchen. She's cooking us breakfast. You guys should get your asses up " " Why? It's Saturday. We got no class " Gael mutters but Rex chipped in. " We got a place to go. It's important
That morning Emilio was the one who took the wheel while Rex and Gael sat at the back. They put on some music and were having a good time, journeying to meet up with Louie at their agreed place when suddenly the system came booming in Rex's ears. It was so loud and urgent that the young man shut his eyes against the agonizing pain. " Beep. Beep. Beep. "" You have got only thirty minutes to live. System... Deactivated. System... Activated. The host got Twenty-nine minutes left " It was like a nightmare to Rex Louie. He felt nothing as dangerous but he knows the system would never lie. " Emilio stop " The words came out very slowly that the young man behind the wheel didn't hear. Thanks to Gael who sat beside him. Gael noticed something is off with Rex and he call the attention of Emilio.At that moment they arrived at the agreed place and Louie walk up to meet the playboys. What he saw However shook his heart. The lips of Rex have turned so pale and his eyes bloodshot. " Oh no
" I should have known she is up to something dubious. Though I have begun to suspect her. I never know she will do something so horrific " " Tell me about it Gael " Emilio mutters softly. " It would have been a huge shock for Rex " " Well, we should make sure Sheila never comes near us again. Damn! We escape death narrowly " At that moment the door opens and Rex Louie steps into the living room. He has a duffle bag in his hand and he stops to look at everyone. Their parents were there but they only stood and watch the scene unfold before their eyes. Rex marched forward to Laurel, Gael's mother, placed the duffel bag before her, and said. " It's a gift from me to you mother. $12,000,000. Do whatever you wanted with it " Rex as expected didn't wait for a response. He only turns around towards the exit saying. " Let's get back to school guys. I have an interview tomorrow about the competition " Rex made to walk away but Gael quickly stop him with his words. " Rex we need to tal
" It's Sheila's deeds. She is the only one who we invited into our room. The only one who is a computer nerd " No one replies to Gael's words for some time. They are now seated inside Louie's car. The man thinks about how possibly he could convince his son from being with Sheila. He could see Rex wouldn't stay away from her no matter what because he felt she is being pushed. " Do you guys talk more about the system? The wealth Rex suddenly acquired? " Louie finally asked. " Oh no," Emilio mutters sadly. " I uh ... Asked Rex why he brought only Twelve million dollars for mother and... " " Mother? " " Yes. Uh... I mean Gael's mother, Laurel. Though we call her mum, mother " " Oh " Louie mutters and he nodded his head. He noticed they have been calling him father too. A smile crossed his lips at this and he nodded carefully as he love the bond among the boys. " Go on, " He said to Emilio. " Yes, I asked him why he brought home twelve million dollars. His daily task was to spen

" 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
