" 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

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
To any events that Rex Louie was invited to, he usually arrive late. Why? Because he wants the spotlight. He had stumbled on it once on his first face-off with Khalil and then he love it again and again. But this face-off that was held up in a prestigious hall, not Riley's, Rex Louie arrived early. Yes, it was held at night and the arrival of Romeo Willis is just an hour later which makes Rex Louie so impatient. He alighted from his car very early than Rezo Jose. Why? Because he wanted to get everything over with and leave for his brother who will be returning that night.He couldn't pass the night before as excitement won't let him. Louie came to the face-off to be a father to his son, nothing makes him happier on that part. The other two Playboys were also in attendance and they sat at the first roll to watch the face-off. The event started immediately and Rex Louie was caught taking a peek at his wristwatch occasionally. One could see he is antsy and impatient. At last, the
As usual, Rex Louie made another headline that same night. The talks about the shooting event wouldn't leave anyone's lips. He ran into the hospital and clutched onto the stretcher which Romeo laid on. The scent and Memories flooded his heart and almost burst it. He is scared. No, he is terrified. He knows it's only a probability. Romeo might be alive, he might not. He might survive. He might not. His legs were shivering. His eyes are steamy and his heart racing miles away. " I should go with you. Please... I should... " " No Rex Louie. You have to stay here " The doctor said and swiftly get to work. Rex was alone in the waiting hall but it was soon crowded by his well-wishers. Thanks to the securities, they were sent off but they never left. Almost everyone in the city knows the dramas, the story. He was pacing about. He couldn't sit or think straight. After some minutes the two Playboys storm into the hospital very swiftly. They stopped however in the waiting room and watc

He is not just anyone. Some said he is very special. Another said he is an ideology and everyone calls him Rex Louie. He alighted from his car and pulled his kit to the dressing room.

Everything was provided for him by the school which takes pride in its initial tag name. His face determines and his will is so strong. Mr Draston was in attendance and Mario was there too. When he gets to Rezo's side the young man scoffed at him and rolled his eyes. " Here I am thinking you would take the good advice of my dad but... " " On your track! " The words came, stopping Rezo from his speech. The rac
" This is unbelievable " The doctor mutters from behind. " Rex Louie please step back. We will take over " The medical staffs troop into the room and made Rex leave. He sniffed carefully and then smile at Romeo as though to calm him. " I will come back to see you, okay? " He said and his brother nodded with a smile. Rex Louie turns around and leaves the room. He dabbed his eyes and headed out without speaking. The people were filled with unexplained feelings as he passed them by. They would hate to admit that Rex is so special and kinda weird. He walk out to get his breath together and his two friends followed immediately. " I can't believe this Rex. What just happened? " Gael inquired in confusion and Emilio added. " It's unbelievable. I won't believe this if I haven't witnessed it myself. Romeo rose from the dead? " " It's the system guys " Rex replied gently. He turns to stare at his two friends and swallowed hard. " It gave Romeo another life but it gave me a task too and
Sheila burst into the office as well. She had heard about the tragic incident that befell Romeo. The Playboys look up to her and they quickly look away to Louie who gritted his teeth still. He walks up to his sister and glares at her so coldly. " I won't spare you if you dare come after my son again. Did you get that? " He then turns to Caky Junie who seems like a gentleman and a good one at that. " I appreciate your love for my son. Thanks to you Rex knows he has another enemy out there. Come on playboys. Let's go " Louie walk out immediately and the boys left too. Sheila shuddered when the playboys walk passed her in silence. Lady Thelma flopped on her leather chair and breath out shakily. Never Did she think it will be so scary to earn her brother's attention. " Let's leave Rex Louie alone. I am not interested in the Inheritance anymore " She said and Sheila breathe out shakily. Swiftly she ran out to meet the playboys. Rex walk side by side with his dad and he try to tel

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.

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
