Jason stood up from the dining table, politely nodding at everyone as he thanked Summer’s father for the warm meal. Though smiles and laughter had filled the room moments ago, something unspoken still lingered in the air. Especially between him and Summer.

He valued her. Not just because of what she’d done for him or what they’d been through, but because of the quiet bond they’d slowly built. A bond he didn’t want to break. Jason wasn’t blind—he could sense things were shifting, but he chose not to assume. He respected boundaries, and if friendship was all they could ever share, then he’d treasure it fully.

“Some feelings are better left alone,” he thought to himself, his hands casually brushing against his pants as he walked to the door. “Summer wouldn’t even want that. So why entertain it?”

Summer followed closely behind, clutching her phone in one hand. She didn’t say anything at first. Her eyes kept flickering toward Jason, then quickly away.

    Roland slowly turned toward him. His lips parted slightly as if to argue—but then stopped. For the first time, there was hesitation in his eyes.Valerie looked between them, catching the shift.“It’s a desperate move,” she said carefully. “But it might be our only card.”Another executive chimed in, “And if we play it now, maybe—just maybe—he’ll bite.”The room went silent again, this time not from fear, but from possibility.Then one voice broke through.“Should we just… call him back?” someone asked. “And give him—at least—try to give him a better deal than what they just offered him in that other company?”The tension in the boardroom thickened like fog after a storm.Silence stretched—painfully, uncomfortably.A middle-aged executive with a graying beard slammed his fist lightly on the table. “No,” he said, his voice low but filled with certainty. “That’s not going to work. That’s not even the point anymore.”Eyes turned to him, confused.He continued, “What better deal can we eve

    He looked around, searching the room for agreement, but none came.He gave a bitter smile and shrugged. “Well, that’s my opinion. That’s my own cup of tea, like they say.”Then he leaned back, arms crossed. “But as long as I’m here, one thing is certain—whether anyone else sees it or not—I like Jason. And I’m going to make sure that this relationship he’s having with Camilla? It’s not going to end. It’s going to continue. Camilla is going to continue.”The room fell into an uneasy hush the moment Jason stepped in. Faces stiffened. Some forced polite smiles. Others didn’t even try. The air was thick with judgment—silent whispers hidden behind glances, as if they all silently agreed that Jason didn’t belong.Camilla stood a few steps behind him, her hands folded tightly in front of her. She could feel it too—the tension, the quiet disbelief rippling through the air.One of the cousins muttered under his breath, “He’s just a university student… What’s he doing here in a suit?”Another ch

    The silence that followed was no longer disbelief—it was stunned realization.Her grandfather slowly looked at her, eyes wide. “He… came?” he said, almost in a whisper, as if the words themselves were too heavy to carry.And for the first time in a very long while, Camilla saw something on her grandfather’s face that she wasn’t used to seeing—uncertainty.Even her uncle, usually quick to argue or brush things aside, was staring at her like she had just said the sky had fallen.“He came?”“What happened? How is that even possible?” Camilla’s uncle couldn’t hold it in anymore. His voice trembled slightly, his earlier disbelief quickly turning into desperate curiosity.Camilla nodded slowly. “He came.”The room fell silent again.“He really came,” she repeated. “The Miracle Doctor. He showed up.”Her grandfather’s jaw tightened as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, trying to make sense of it all. “You’re telling me that the Miracle Doctor came to this hospital… because J

    Camilla’s voice was steady, but her heartbeat was not.“Some of the doctors actually witnessed it,” she said, her eyes scanning the room, daring anyone to interrupt again. “They were the ones who came out begging Jason to help them speak to the Miracle Doctor. But Jason didn’t say a word to them. He didn’t even look in their direction.”Her grandfather slowly removed his reading glasses, the lenses catching a gleam of light as he placed them gently on the side table. His brows creased, not out of anger, but out of the sheer weight of what he was hearing. “Wait…” he muttered. “So you mean… this wasn’t just some quiet private visit?”Camilla shook her head. “No. Everyone at that hospital knows about it now. You can go there and confirm it. The staff—especially the senior doctors—they’re all talking. It’s everywhere. They saw it with their own eyes. My friend’s case… it was beyond repair. She had no pulse, her leg was crushed, and yet, after he came… everything changed.”Her grandfather

    The room had fallen into an eerie silence, only the faint hum of the chandelier above reminding them they were still seated in the grandeur of the Maximilian estate. Camilla’s fingers nervously brushed over her skirt as she glanced between her grandfather and uncle. Their eyes were fixed on her, waiting—demanding—for answers.“It’s just too much,” her uncle muttered, leaning back, his brows furrowed tightly. “How can one person do all of this and no one even knows who he really is? Who is Jason? How is that even possible?”Camilla exhaled slowly. Her voice came quiet at first, almost unsure. “I don’t know if this is bigger than what the Miracle Doctor did… but it’s big,” she said, locking eyes with her grandfather. “It’s just as big.”Her grandfather straightened up, clearly intrigued. His hands clasped the armrest of his chair with a slight tremble—not from age, but from anticipation.“Camilla,” he said, his tone soft but commanding. “Say it. I’m anxious to hear what it is.”She nodd

    Everyone sat in silence, eyes wide and hearts unsettled.Camilla’s voice had been calm but full of conviction, and it stirred something in the room. “Jason is not just who we think he is. He’s someone with a past—maybe not the kind we can see or measure—but it’s there. And whatever it is, it made him who he is now.”Her words fell heavy.Her grandfather blinked slowly, trying to piece together the weight behind what she had just said. Her uncle leaned forward, confused and visibly shaken. “What are you saying, Camilla?”Camilla didn’t blink. “I’m saying I’ve seen enough. I’ve seen what he can do. I’ve watched how people treat him, how even the Miracle Doctor bows his head and how top hospitals make way when he speaks. This isn’t luck. This isn’t arrogance. It’s presence. He carries something we don’t understand. And I’ve reached the point where I don’t need to understand it anymore to trust him.”Her voice didn’t shake. There was no hesitation.Her grandfather slowly nodded, more to h

    Camilla’s words lingered in the air, calm but firm, and her grandfather blinked slowly as if trying to process the depth of what she just said. The living room fell quiet for a moment, only the ticking of the antique wall clock echoing faintly.“I understand what you’re saying,” her grandfather finally spoke, his voice softer now but still carrying the weight of authority. “But Camilla… when I see a man like that—Jason—walk into this family, do what he’s done, speak the way he speaks… I see legacy. I see someone who will protect you, who will lead with strength. We’ve waited too long for someone of his kind.”Camilla swallowed. “I know, Papa. And I see it too. But I don’t want to rush him into something he’s not ready for. He’s someone who doesn’t move just because people say he should. He moves when he’s ready—when it feels right.”Her uncle sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “I hate to admit it,” he muttered, “but the boy’s different. I’ve watched how people respond to him.

    By the third quarter, the scoreboard glared back with an unforgiving truth—80 to 30. The gym buzzed, but not with hope. Greyhill’s fans were practically dancing in the stands, taunting louder with every basket, every steal. “Third year in a row!” they screamed.On the court, Jason stood still for a moment, hands on his knees, sweat dripping, chest rising steadily—but not from exhaustion. It was restraint. Every time he sprinted into open space, his hands ready, eyes calling for the ball, it never came. Not once.Instead, Marvin tried a contested jumper from the side and missed.Alex forced a drive into the paint and got blocked.“Again?” the coach growled from the sideline, yanking off his cap and throwing it down.Jason stayed calm, even though his fists were clenching tighter now.He wasn’t invisible.They were ignoring him on purpose.The tension had been building ever since that locker room talk weeks ago—when Jason said they needed to play smarter, not just harder. Marvin didn’t

    At that moment A thick silence swept over the entire entrance of PASUMI KAZU.For a second, no one moved. Not Jason. Not Camilla. Not even the security officers who had come at the former guard’s call. The air hung heavy—like it didn’t know if it should gasp or stay completely still.Everyone just… stared.Mouths slightly parted. Eyes wide. One of the four arriving security men blinked twice in disbelief, unsure if he’d just seen what he thought he did.Even Camilla’s friends across the street, who had been laughing and whispering just a moment ago, froze with their phones still held up mid-livestream. The camera capturing the moment jolted slightly as the person recording fumbled.The elegant man stood still after delivering the slap, his hand still slightly raised, as if the echo hadn’t yet finished ringing out.The security man who had been barking confidently minutes ago stood stiff. His face had turned red, not just from the slap but from confusion, fear, and sudden realization.

    The laughter from the group echoed like a cruel chorus as one of the boys sneered, “Who the hell does that guy think he is? Booking Pasumika Zoo? What is he, the president’s son?”Another girl chuckled. “More like a fraud with confidence.”They laughed louder, pointing at Jason as if mocking him gave them status. Their phones were still up, some recording, others live streaming. Every second was another notch of humiliation in their eyes.Soma stood a few steps away, her jaw clenched tight.She hadn’t said a word since hearing the news. Her arms were folded, fingernails digging into her skin. The heat in her chest wasn’t just embarrassment—it was jealousy. Sharp, sudden jealousy that curled its way through her thoughts and refused to let go.Jason is really taking Camilla… to Pasumika Zoo?Her eyes scanned the scene again, landing on Camilla’s calm face as she stood quietly beside Jason. Camilla didn’t even look worried. No tension in her shoulders, no doubt in her eyes. She just… sto

    At that moment The arrogant security guard straightened his collar and took two stiff steps toward the man in the expensive suit. Though he tried to maintain his confidence, there was a nervous flicker in his eyes. Then he cleared his throat and put on a tone that sounded respectful—on the surface.“Sir,” he began, dipping his head slightly. “Please, I apologize for the little scene you’re witnessing in front of Pasu Mikazu.”However the man in the suit remained silent, his expression unreadable, hands folded behind his back. His polished shoes gleamed under the lights.“I’ve already handled the matter,” the guard continued, trying to sound efficient. “I intercepted this group of children attempting to trespass using a fake invitation.”Immediately he jabbed a thumb behind him toward Jason, Camilla, and her friend.“That boy—him,” he said, pointing squarely at Jason without hesitation, “is a fraudster. I tried to warn him politely, sir. Told them to leave. But the fool’s been standin

    The moment Jason spoke, silence hit like a wave. The once-smirking security guard straightened up, his pride pricked deeper than before.Then he let out a short scoff. “You think you're something, huh?” he muttered, barely loud enough but full of resentment. “Do your worst, boy. Go ahead.”Then he folded his arms, chin tilted high, but his words were sharp with bitterness. “I’ve kept quiet long enough. Thought I was doing you a favor. But now? You think you can come here and raise your voice at me? Someone like you?”His eyes narrowed, voice rising just slightly as if trying to draw a line in the sand. “You're just a kid. I’ve dealt with dozens like you. You think because you’ve got some polished shoes and you’ve memorized a few names, that gives you a pass to walk all over people who know their job?”However Jason didn’t flinch. His hands remained at his sides, relaxed, Calm. “I’ll personally deal with people like you,” he continued, words spilling now like he couldn’t stop. “Peopl

    Camilla’s hand tightened gently around Jason’s wrist. Her voice came out quiet, almost pleading. “Jason, it’s not the end of everything. Maybe we should just go… try to figure out how the booking was even made. Maybe someone tricked us. We could come back later when things are clearer.”Jason didn’t even look at her. His eyes were locked on the security man like stone against stone. But Camilla could feel it—something in him was beginning to boil.Her friend stepped forward hesitantly, voice softer. “Jason… we believe you. We do. It’s just… maybe this was a scam. Maybe whoever handled the booking wasn’t legit.”Jason turned to them now, slowly. His voice was low but firm. “Be the last to say that.”Camilla froze.“I know what I’m doing,” he said, his tone sharper now. “I personally booked this place myself. I didn’t go through any agency. I called. I spoke to someone. I got the confirmation directly from the top.”Camilla’s breath caught. What?Her friend’s eyes widened. “Wait… you… b

    Upon hearing what Jason just said, The security man let out a deep laugh. Not the amused kind—but the dismissive, scoffing kind that came from a place of disbelief and condescension.“You?” he chuckled, shaking his head slowly as he folded his arms. “You really just said that?”Immediately Camilla and her friend turned their eyes toward Jason, startled by the sudden shift in tone.However Jason remained still, calm, his eyes locked on the guard.The man pointed a thick finger at Jason’s chest. “As small as you are—what are you? Maybe second year in university? You don’t even look like someone who has finished growing. And you’re here… threatening me?”He scoffed louder now, eyes scanning Jason’s simple, clean outfit. “Look at you. You think just because you wore a shirt with a collar, and you brought two pretty girls here, suddenly you're the king of the city?”Hearing his words Jason’s jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t speak.The guard leaned in a little, his breath sharp with mo

    At that moment Camilla didn’t flinch. She squared her shoulders and stepped forward again. “Do you think we’re just some ordinary kids? That children don’t come from wealthy families anymore?”However The security man didn’t answer at first. His gaze flicked between her firm expression and the phone in her hand. At that moment he adjusted his belt, the corner of his mouth twitching upward as if he’d heard a joke only he understood.“My grandfather has booked Pasumi Kazoo before,” she added, her voice rising, “Once, in fact. So don’t stand there and act like we don’t belong.”Her words hung in the air. Sharp. Unapologetic.Upon hearing what Camila The security man chuckled. It wasn’t mocking—it was more of a tired laugh, the kind that came from someone who’d seen too much. He folded his arms. “I get it. You’re trying to stand your ground. That’s good. But right now, you're just behaving like a child.”Camilla’s breath caught.He went on, shaking his head slightly. “Even if your grandf

    Seeing what Jason just did Camilla blinked as Jason slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Wait… that’s it?” she whispered, glancing at her friend, then back at Jason.However Jason didn’t reply. He stood calm, his hands relaxed by his sides, his eyes fixed ahead like he was simply waiting for something he already knew would happen.Immediately Camilla’s friend leaned in and whispered, “He didn’t even say a full sentence… just one line? That’s who he called?”“Yeah,” Camilla muttered, her voice soft but unsure. “He didn’t even sound worried.”At that moment a strange tension settled over them—quiet but heavy. Then Camilla bit her lip, half in confusion, half in nervousness.Across the road, the group of friends who had been laughing earlier were still recording. One of them zoomed in and chuckled. “Oh wow, he really made a call. What now, Jason? Is a helicopter coming to pick you up?”Hearing what they just said, The security guard snorted, folding his arms in front of the entrance.

    Jason’s pace slowed a little when he spotted Camilla and her friend standing outside the elegant entrance of Pasu Mikazu. His brows furrowed.He couldn't believe they were still outside? They should’ve been inside by now, soaking in the ambiance, not lingering by the door like they didn’t belong.He stepped closer, a light crease forming between his brows as he approached them.“Hey,” he said, glancing between Camilla and her friend, “what’s going on? Why are you two still out here?”Immediately Camilla gave a short sigh, folding her arms slightly across her waist. She looked embarrassed, but also slightly frustrated.“It’s… the security man,” she said softly, gesturing toward the well-dressed but stern-looking man guarding the entrance. “He said we can’t go in.”Hearing what Camila just said, Jason blinked. “What? Why not? You have the invitation, don’t you?”“We do,” she nodded, pulling out her phone. “But he said the QR code looks fake. Apparently, they’ve been having a lot of onl
