" 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
" Daily challenge. The sum of twenty million dollars should be spent before the day ends. You got hours left to complete your daily task. Tick. Tick. Tick. " As usual that robotic voice woke up Rex and he sits up very slowly. He couldn't feel his two friends beside him and that makes him raise his head. Just then the newscaster's words were heard by him. Immediately Rex Louie sprang up from the bed and goes to stand before the TV. " Guys we have got a situation " He called out and the two other guys emerges.Gael came from the dressing room while Emilio walk out from the kitchen. They stare at the TV and their jaw flop. All of a sudden, in unison they leap for joy and jubilated. It was said that the First son of Riley will be crowned that same day. That means Karson and Lady Thelma lose woefully. " Oh my goodness! At last. Wow! This call for celebration guys " Rex screams out. " Thanks to your dad's ascension. My dad will get his job back. I am sure of this! " Emilio said in gl
" That's a fine speech you give there man," Gael said with a sheepish grin. " So what now? " The Playboys were aware of the eyes on them. They stood beside their car to have a short conversation under the sun. Rex Louie just leave the interview arena and met up with his friends. He looks briefly at his wristwatch and sighs. " It's afternoon already. I should go to the lady and return for the evening party " " What's wrong? Your expression shows negativity " Emilio required and Rex let out a breath. " It's my opponent. He is the son of Jose. The same Jose dad told us about last night " The two friends exchange glances and let out a sigh at the same time. " Talk about Karma," Gael said and Emilio chipped in. " Rex he might not be your opponent at the final. You know it's a tournament. You even still have to go for the competition before you get to the final " " I'm going to the final Emilio and I will hoist the flag of Rainbow Core College. No matter what " The two friends und
The moment when everyone had anticipated had arrived. The beloved people of the city arrived at the Prestigious hall of Riley. They are present to welcome and accept Louie and congratulate him on his new success. Rex Louie haven't arrived but the media were already waiting. The moment when goosebumps will filled the skin of the onlookers.Those who know about the Rileys family drama would commend Louie for his endurance. Not all humans could survive his plight and still could walk with their heads high. A smile appears on his face when he walks to the stage with the Quadrillionaire himself, Pa Riley. " Where is Rex? He should be here by now. " Pa Riley Whispers to Louie that moment. Karson and Lady Thelma were forced to come and their expression shows how displeased they are. Of course, they took their seat at the first VIP roll and Khalil alongside Sheila settled down too. The party began earnestly but Louie was feeling agitated that his son is still nowhere to be seen. He w
All over Rainbow Core College, the name Rex Louie just never left the lips of all students. Rex cruise into the college in his latest car and alighted very tiredly. The students troop in numbers to see him. He arrived after the semi-final match and the results is all the same. Rex Louie won and he is going to the final. He will be facing Rezo Jose in the final and it's been sealed and fixed. Rex waves at the students and then walks to the dormitory. He headed into his room, opens the door, and dropped his kit on the floor. His two friends didn't journey along with him because they had to complete his Daily task. " We saw it live. Woo! I can't believe we are going to the final " That was Emilio's words. " Yes. I am starving. My coach said i shouldn't eat too much of a meal. Ugh, I can't wait to end this. Get it over with " " Get your ass up then. The dinner is ready. Let's eat " Gael said and Rex obeyed. He took his bath thoroughly and walk out to the dining table with fresh c
