Lisa told Rebecca everything that had happened.Rebecca used her mobile to talk in the group chat and see what exactly they were asking her to do, and it didn’t take her more than a minute to come to the decision that these people were just scammers.“Sorry, Lisa. Your money is gone,” Rebecca told her.Lisa was brought to tears. “How can I be so stupid? Dad gave me that money when I said I’ll use it for learning online courses. What will he think if he knows that it’s all spent?”“It’s okay. It’s only 10,000 dollars. I’ll add the money into your account,” Rebecca told her, making Lisa so emotional that she hugged Rebecca and cried some more and apologized to her for being so stupid. “What’s done is done, but let us go and file a complaint to the police.”“W-What?” Lisa was shocked. “I-If we do that, my dad will know. He will kill me.”“But we have to do it so that the police will look into it, and they’ll have the accounts of these scammers freezed,” Rebecca said, “at the least.”Rebe

Hours passed, but the storm was still very much there.Kathy already cried enough, and she didn’t have anymore tears left to shed after seeing the damage the winds did to her plants. Leaves and branches were everywhere. All the banana trees had collapsed. The beautiful garden now looked ugly and messy.Amber tried to comfort her cousin, but Kathy didn’t stop cursing the weather. She even blamed Akash for not doing anything.“What can he do when the storm is so rough and strong?” Amber reasoned with her.“So many bananas were wasted, Amber,” Kathy cried out. “Had he fixed supports for them properly, they would have withstood the storm.”“I don’t think so. The banana plants are delicate, Kathy. Don’t you think you’re blaming Akash because you don’t have anyone else to blame?”“Shut up, Amber. If you spent hours of time every day on those plants, you’d be scolding him right now, too! Even more than I do.”Amber didn’t say anything afterward. She could only hope that the storm would go aw

At Drake’s restaurant.Jim and his dad Marcus were busy competing with each other, trying to cook spinach and prawns together. There were no customers because of the storm. Yes, they kept their restaurant open even in the middle of a massive storm. And they were ready to serve in case a customer were to enter their place.However, because there were no customers right now, they were just passing time by challenging each other in various ways.After they finished cooking the dish, they tasted both the dishes, and Jim began to shake his head straight away. “We both used the same ingredients. I even copied the exact amount of salt and spices you used. But how is it that yours tastes much better than mine?”“If just adding ingredients is enough to make a dish, then everybody can work as a chef in a five-star hotel,” Marcus chortled. “Let me tell you why the dish you made is average. The most important mistake you made is you added too much water. For prawns, you don’t need to add as much

Somewhere else in the country.Andrew walked many miles and finished his campaigning in that city and even distributed food, drinks, and free money to some poor people. His stunts made the news related to him go viral, and the people that doubted him, saying he was too old to be the president had gone silent now.Andrew later stopped by a large shelter where the homeless people were being allowed to stay. This place used to be a prison in the past.Andrew along with Brandon Conreid talked with the homeless people and captured it on the videos to later telecast the whole thing.As he was talking with a group of people, one of them raised his hand and asked, “Mr. Andrew, you’re a billionaire. There are only a few hundred people in this camp. If you just wish it, you can easily allot us flats in a remote place. It wouldn’t even cost as much compared to the mega yachts you buy every year. If you can give us a roof over our heads, we’ll definitely vote for you and even tell everyone we kn

The warden stayed behind while Andrew and Brandon entered the elevator that went underground for more than a hundred feet.They stepped into an underground facility that was right under the former prison. The facility was many times wider than the prison itself.Jonathan the bioscientist welcomed them both. “It’s nice to meet the two souls that are going to rule this country together soon.”“How far has your research progressed, Dr. Jonathan?” Andrew asked him. “Are we ready to unleash our bioweapons on our enemies?”“Let me show you the variety of things we can do, Mr. President,” Jonathan purposely referred to him this way because it had been decided by the crown already, though Andrew didn’t know that yet.Jonathan guided both of them to different chambers and showed them the live test subjects that were suffering with all kinds of strange diseases. Some had boils all over their bodies. Some felt their skin burn so much they were screaming for water. Some sat terrified at a corner

The storm changed many things in a matter of two days.Firstly, it destroyed the plants that Akash and Kathy had been growing. The banana plants and the orange trees were the biggest loss.Secondly, Delle found a beggar that died near the villa’s gate. It was a very bad omen. The cold weather these past two days would have sent many old beggars to their afterlife, but why did one have to die right before their villa? Removing his dead body from there cost them more money, too.Thirdly, Elizabeth saw on the news that that last night, her brother George won a lottery of a million dollars and then started dating his biggest crush Sofia Bacic who was a model. This was a big shock to Elizabeth and especially Dorothy who didn’t even know how to react.Sofia Bacic was the model who was believed to have made millions from her sex tape. Why was such a woman wrapping her around George’s shoulder in the video they were seeing? Did she really like him, or was she after his money? Whatever it was,

Jim was the only one taking care of the restaurant now because his dad went somewhere.“Every Thursday, he goes off somewhere for hours,” Jim thought. “Where exactly is he going? Or, who exactly is he seeing? Why is he keeping it a secret from me? Does he think I’ll feel bad about it? It’s been so long since Mom died, and I think he can see other women if he wants to. I’ve got no problem with that. I’m not a kid anymore. If he wants to bring a woman into his life so that he won’t be alone in his old age, I’ll happily help him.”A few seconds of silence passed.“But what about me?” Jim cut the vegetables faster. “I should get married, too, but if I do it before him, it’ll be weird for him to marry after that. Then, I should wait until he marries someone.”Jim then remembered Rebecca. “I don’t have her number. I do have her address,but how am I supposed to meet her? And when I meet her, what am I supposed to say?”Normally, Jim was not afraid of talking with women, but because Rebecca’s

Marcus did not care to study chemistry when he was in school. He was not a dull student by any means. He always ranked among the top in his class, but he was more interested in mathematics and science compared to chemistry, whose formulas he did not like.So he didn’t put that much interest in diving deeper into the lore of chemistry.However, now, things have changed completely.In the pursuit of his goal to revive his deceased wife, he grew more knowledgeable in chemistry than someone with five PhDs.“How are you exactly bringing her back to life?” Bernard asked while chewing on roasted peanuts, mixed with jaggery. “We managed to keep her body intact all these years, but we’re talking about bringing someone back from the dead. There’s nobody who did that except for Jesus, assuming the historical accounts were true. I’ve read some ancient books, so I know that many alchemists tried their best to bring inanimate objects to life using all kinds of spells and created mysterious golems a
