2024-10-29 19:42:56The two of them arrived at the playground, and Zak took a seat on the steps in front of Juelz.
Coming to a stop, Juelz lowered his gaze and began, "You know, I don't actually dislike you that much. It's just that you resemble me so closely that being around you feels like encountering a mirror image."
Zak was taken aback by this sudden turn towards emotion. He stood up and met Juelz's gaze, saying, "I understand."
Raising his hand, he slowly moved it closer to Juelz's face.
This sudden gesture made Juelz furrow his brow, his eyes showing resistance. As he instinctively tried to step back, Zak interrupted, "Wait a second, big brother, there's a bug on your face."
Juelz, who had an intense fear of insects, instantly froze, his eyes wide open as he watched Zak's finger make contact with his face, gently flicking something away.
"My mistake; it was just a mosquito," Zak retracted his hand, chuckling softly. "But don't worry, I've already taken care of it."
Seeing the smile on Zak's lips, Juelz's unease deepened.
Not far off, Matthias, who had been following them, pulled out his phone and aimed it at the two of them, zooming in for a closer look.
Both were dressed in identical school uniforms.
The one on the left, with a slight downward gaze and a friendly smile, lacked a mole on his face and had a center-parted hairstyle, matching Juelz.
The one on the right had a mole on his face and a center-parted hairstyle, but his expression seemed less amiable, confirming him as the beleaguered Zak.
With this realization, Matthias removed his school uniform and signaled to the person behind him.
"Capture the one on the right, use the uniform to conceal him, and make sure he can't call for help."
Several boys began to stealthily approach.
Juelz, feeling somewhat repulsed, touched the spot where Zak's hand had been, only to suddenly notice the young man before him wearing a different smile. It was a smile unlike his usual one, causing Juelz to furrow his brow. "What's so amusing?"
"I'm smiling because, from this moment on, big brother, you're about to embark on a rather unforgettable experience," Zak said, leaning in slightly to study Juelz. His lips curled upward, carrying a trace of mischief and malice. "Here it comes."
Before Juelz could fully grasp the meaning of those words, everything suddenly went black, and his head was tightly covered by something.
He found himself unable to resist as an invisible force propelled him forward.
Before him, an abyss of darkness engulfed Juelz, filling him with dread and stifling him. He screamed desperately, yet his voice emerged as a muffled cry, while the surrounding voices remained audibly clear.
"Make sure he doesn't end up dead. Also, he might try to impersonate me instead of Zak. Be cautious, don't be deceived. He's quite the accomplished liar," Zak cautioned.
As they moved further away, Matthias pondered the striking resemblance between the two, their identities nearly indistinguishable. Observing Juelz's resistance, Matthias adjusted his school uniform and issued a warning, "Stop struggling and walk with us."
Walk with them? Did that mean he would face a beating?
Juelz intensified his struggles, exclaiming, "I'm not Zak."
Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf ears, with onlookers assuming it was mere profanity. Someone even took the opportunity to deliver a kick.
While the physical pain was tolerable, the humiliation was unbearable. Juelz clenched his fists, and his resentment toward Zak deepened with each passing thought.
Watching them depart, Zak's smile vanished. He wiped away the foundation concealing his mole, resuming a neutral demeanor as he made his way to the classroom.
He needed to summon help for his beloved brother, for what lay ahead would leave an indelible mark on his memory.
Throughout the ordeal, Juelz held onto hope that someone would recognize his true identity, but alas, no one did. It wasn't until a group of boys dragged him into the restroom and removed his school uniform that their mistake became apparent.
Juelz was drenched in sweat, his face flushed from the oppressive darkness. Upon being released, he immediately struck one of the boys beside him without hesitation.
"Couldn't you tell you had the wrong person? I'm Juelz, not Zak. Are all of you blind?" he shouted.
Matthias, standing nearby, delivered a resounding slap and sneered, "You think you can fool me with such a simple trick?"
Juelz's head buzzed from the blow, disorienting him.
What in the world was happening? Zak should have been the one enduring this beating, not him.
In that moment, he abruptly recalled why he had sensed something was off with Zak earlier. He attempted to voice his thoughts but was forcefully pushed down and subjected to further kicks.
"..." Juelz muttered curses under his breath, but the torrent of punches and kicks rendered him mute.

The Disolate Scion Deliberate
After a fierce struggle, he finally saw an opportunity. He gripped Matthias's arm, his eyes ablaze with determination as he declared, "I'm Juelz, really. How did Terrence describe me?"The scorn in Matthias's eyes triggered a wry smile as he abruptly released Juelz's arm, grabbed his hair, and pulled it back forcefully, delivering a resounding slap to his face. "Do you really think I'm that gullible?"Upon arrival, he had received a clear warning, and coupled with the mole beneath his eye, Matthias had no doubts about Juelz's identity. He simply believed that he was being stubborn. "Blame yourself for getting involved with the wrong group." He pulled out his phone and started taking pictures of Juelz.Huddled on the ground, with disheveled hair, Juelz looked utterly pitiful. When he saw Matthias still taking photos, he instinctively shielded his face."Please, no more photos, don't capture my face!""I've been insisting I'm Juelz, Juelz. Why won't you believe me?""Persist, and I'll
The Disolate Scion Attack
Juelz's body bore a mosaic of bruises, with some areas displaying painful shades of purple and blue. Mrs. Samantha found the sight increasingly distressing. What intensified her anguish was the grotesque swelling that contorted Juelz's face, making him nearly unrecognizable. Her emotions veered wildly between anger and concern as she turned abruptly, demanding answers with fiery determination, "What's going on at this school? How did my son get hurt?" Juelz, trembling and fragile, addressed the assembled crowd, his voice strained, "I'm not Zak; I'm Juelz. It's all Zak's doing. He's the one who orchestrated this attack on me." This revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd, inciting a cacophony of voices. "Juelz?" At that moment, Zak emerged from the throng, his face etched with worry. He gazed at Juelz and admitted, "Someone intended to ambush and harm me, but I overheard their plan. Fear overwhelmed me, and I sought refuge in hiding. They must have mistaken my brother for me,
The Disolate Scion Footsteps
The assailant had been apprehended, yet the central figures of this dramatic scene remained in place. The gathered onlookers showed no inclination to disperse; instead, their excitement grew. Mrs. Samantha, her heart filled with sympathy, tenderly ran her fingers through Juelz's hair. His visage was horribly swollen, his attire a disheveled mess, riddled with ragged tears. He appeared pitiful, devoid of any semblance of a young master, resembling more a destitute soul found on the streets. "I'll deal with you later," Mrs. Samantha uttered icily to Zak as she assisted Juelz to his feet. "Mother, I'm a victim too," Zak, who had remained silent for an extended period, rasped, lowering his gaze while pursing his lips. "My brother sought someone to harm me, resulting in this case of mistaken identity." Despite his words, he held no illusions of capturing Mrs. Samantha's attention. As anticipated, Mrs. Samantha chose to disregard his statement, escorting Juelz to the hospital without a
The Disolate Scion Trouble
He spun around to find Mr. Benton wearing a somber expression. Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Samantha had twisted the events of the day and presented her version to him. "I initially believed you were facing challenges outside, and upon your return, I saw you as someone who steers clear of trouble, understands boundaries. But what happened today? Juelz is your brother, and it seems you're so envious of him that you orchestrated everything to make him lose face in front of everyone?" Mr. Benton stared at Zak with frustration and anger in his eyes. Ignoring the fact that his son was injured, Mr. Benton seemed more concerned about losing face. With his head bowed, Zak stared at his own toes, his voice barely audible as he confessed, "I was indeed wrong about this matter. I should have been the one beaten. I'm sorry, Dad." The one beaten? Mr. Benton frowned, realizing, though not fully believing, "Your mom has already told me everything. It was intentional on your part to scheme against Jue
The Disolate Scion Second son
Zak pressed forward, maintaining his silence. Juelz, wearing his thoughts plainly on his face, inadvertently laid bare everything for any observer. The two headed towards different classrooms, with Zak turning left and Carlos veering right.Almost immediately, Zak noticed Terrence discreetly trailing Carlos, attempting to blend in with each hesitant step.Unfazed, Zak entered the classroom. Terrence swiftly completed his investigation, handing Juelz a notebook containing Carlos' preferences. A quick glance prompted a widened smile from Juelz who praised, "Well done." With a free Saturday, Zak had the driver take him to the library, providing an opportunity for Juelz. Donning carefully chosen attire and adding a mark near his eye, he took a car to the cinema, sending a message to Carlos along the way, uncertain of the response.Before stepping out of the car, he spotted Carlos at the cinema entrance, holding a bucket of popcorn and engrossed in his phone. The tall figure and handsome
The Disolate Scion He's easier to figure out
"Juelz, what's all the commotion about?" Samantha Elliott stood up, "You should head back to your room." Juelz went downstairs for a drink and then returned upstairs. Before entering his room, he overheard a comment from below, "Your elder son has changed quite a bit. At first glance, I mistook him for your second son." Could they really be so clueless as to mistake him for Zak? Irritated, Juelz entered his room and forcefully slammed the door. "How is that possible? I've already told you, my second son isn't here," Samantha Elliott couldn't conceal her growing annoyance. She tightened her grip on her phone and changed the conversation, "I heard there's a new restaurant in the city center with excellent food. How about we give it a try?" Sensing her intention, the other wives refrained from commenting and followed her outside. Only Mrs. Stout cast a thoughtful glance toward the maid's room. "That's where our maid stays," Samantha Elliott introduced, grabbing Mrs. Stout and pulling
The Disolate Scion Waste food
Adan couldn't help but feel a hint of excitement, "Different? You have feelings..." "You're a unique girl," Juelz said sincerely. What kind of statement was that? Certainly not what she wanted to hear. Remaining indifferent, Adan chose not to respond to Juelz. Juelz resumed his seat, sighed deeply, appearing somewhat helpless. "I understand your feelings towards me, but I can't agree right now." He glanced at Zak, subtly implying something. "My focus is on him at the moment. I'm afraid his presence might leave me with no room to maneuver. So, Adan, we need to put our matters on hold." Following his gaze to Zak, Adan considered suggesting that Zak didn't seem like someone who would compete with him but decided against it. She didn't entirely believe Juelz's words but nodded in response. "Wait for me, wait until I've completely dealt with him," Juelz patted Adan's head. "But there's no way to bring him down right now. Sigh." He withdrew his hand with a distressed look. Adan Ski
The Disolate Scion Underestimated
He hadn't finished speaking when Zak, seated nearby, swiftly grabbed the chicken leg that had fallen on the table, stuffed it into Juelz's mouth, and flashed a mild smile. "You really know how to avoid wasting food. Even if something drops, you pick it up and eat it. That's an admirable quality, worth everyone's admiration." Those in proximity caught wind of the words and shifted their attention. Juelz, with a chicken leg in his mouth, momentarily became the center of attention. His mind buzzed, especially with the laughter around him that he couldn't ignore. Without much thought, Juelz recognized how absurd he must look with a sizable chicken leg in his mouth. Prepared to throw it at Zak, his eyes almost ablaze, Juelz retrieved the chicken leg from his mouth. "Do you dare to do this to me?" He wasn't worried that Zak might complain to their parents. This Zak was too audacious. Zak, unruffled, sat there, smiling gently and politely. "An amazing brother like you wouldn't waste foo

She wondered just how she'd gotten along with Zak before.Zak was sitting not far away, and the doctor stood in front of her, information in hand, talking to her.She also enjoyed Zak's touch and craved Zak's intimacy just as much.It's a new cell phone with no software installed and only one contact in Snapchat, Zak.Daphne was happy to have herself played with by her and chirped, "I slept so deeply, did you guys talk for a long time and I didn't hear you." "That's okay." Zak lowered his head, "You're still weak."She didn't know what to do anymore.All of this was taken in by Zak without reservation.So she started thinking again, when can she be discharged from the hospital?

Because she stays indoors for a long, long time, Daphne's skin is so pale and white that the slightest hint of red can be very noticeable on her.The first time she saw it, she felt like it belonged to her, and now that feeling was growing stronger.Aliza showed confusion, "What's not?"That's good for Daphne. Those memories are terrible."She's been with me since a while ago, and for the last little while, I thought I'd come to you on my own." Zak raised an eyebrow slightly, "Come to me for what?"Would love, love, love, love... To talk to Daphne about much, much more.Obviously as the patient's ex-girlfriend, but one person to bear all the costs, but also asked all the facilities and equipment with the best, but also in order to facilitate the care, in a foreign country to buy a house to settle, almost every week to come to see the five times, each time with a bouquet of roses, how romantic and affectionate.Aliza shrugged innocentl

"I know you had someone on your mind at the time and didn't interrupt, and now that you say your nagging problem has been solved, I wondered if we might not have a chance to try it out?""It's mine... It's mine, no one can take it away..."With that, the man opened the file bag and took out a few sheets of paper from it and put them in front of Daphne.Daphne leaned against her shoulder like a skinny puppet, her dry lips parting as her eyes looked up at her, and mumbled, "Zak, I missed you so much..."Being nice, talking nicely, squeezing a smile out of her, what day of the week didn't he do that?
