The realization hit hard; there seemed to be no way for him to reclaim control of his account, adding a layer of defeat to his already turbulent emotions.After a few futile attempts, he abandoned the idea of reclaiming the account on his own. Settling into a chair, a sudden wave of exhaustion washed over him, both mentally and physically drained.Caleb had no choice but to wait for the imposter King to leave. He planned to gather information from Emily about the stranger. Armed with whatever details he could obtain, he intended to hand them over to Mr. Nat for a thorough investigation.The steady ticking of the clock echoed through the room, time inching forward at a sluggish pace. Caleb perched on the bed, eyes fixed on the clock's hands, gradually succumbing to drowsiness.Abruptly, a loud bang shattered the stillness outside his door, followed by a piercing scream."Ah!"The voice belonged to Emily.Upon hearing Emily's distressing scream, Caleb shot up from his seat, whispering h

"Looks like it's our lucky day, boys," he chuckled, then directed a serious gaze at William."Mr. Chan, also known as the inappropriate fan, asked us to investigate King and find out his true identity. We couldn't find a trace of him, but I didn't expect you to be here. Well, here you are! You just made our job so much easier..." he smirked.William's eyes widened at Harry's words, leaving him dumbfounded. The men's reaction was the opposite of what he had anticipated. He thought invoking the name King would instill fear and make them leave. However, being King seemed to have the opposite effect, as King appeared to be their boss's enemy.....William stood frozen, consumed by regret. Revealing himself as King was intended to have some significance and scare them away, but everything unfolded contrary to his expectations. The name had the opposite effect, further provoking the leader and his men.Caleb stood quietly by the door, a small smile playing on his lips. He was secretly please

"What kind of man are you? Doesn't his pain affect you? How can you witness someone in such agony and not offer help? You are not the man I thought you were. You disgust me!" she shouted at Caleb, her voice laced with disappointment and anger.Caleb held Emily's gaze, feeling the weight of disappointment in her eyes. He chose silence, acknowledging that whatever he said seemed to fall on deaf ears. In her perception, William's words held more weight than his.Emily forcefully wiped away tears from her cheek, and directed a sharp glare at Caleb."You really disappointed me Caleb!" She seethed"I can't believe that I was e er friends with you!"In the background, William's shrieks of pain persisted as the assault continued.Emily couldn't bare to look at William being beaten and so she glared at Caleb "I know why you are behaving so cold.

Watch your mouth, King! I wouldn't hesitate to land a few blows myself!" Harry snapped, his tone harsh and menacing."Just leave us alone, can't you see he needs to get to a hospital!" Emily pleaded, tears streaming down her face, her voice cracking with every other word.Harry, unfazed by her tears, sneered."So rude, you didn't even say please," he fake-sulked.Emily narrowed her eyes at him, fed up with his antics.At this point, Emily could only think of getting William to the hospital. He needed medical attention immediately. Therefore, she didn't want to waste any more time talking nonsense with Harry.Harry casually glanced down at his mobile and sighed."Alright, you can leave, since I said what I wanted to say. And you, Miss..." His eyes turning to focus on Emily."Three days... contract... don't forget."Emily just stared back without bothering to respond."Well, boys, our mission is finished here..."Harry's glare turned to look at William, who could barely see anything thr

"Caleb, get out of my way! What the hell is wrong with you? After tonight, you have no say in what I do or don't. I'm going to the hospital with William, the man you saw being brutally beaten but were too much of a coward to help. Yet now you stand here, demanding me not to take an injured man to the hospital. Why? Because of some stupid jealousy. Well, news flash, Caleb, you are not my friend anymore!" She stared at him, her eyes reflecting sadness. His hard expression softened slightly after hearing her words.He could see it on her face—the disappointment, the disgust. He could almost hear the unspoken question lingering on the tip of her tongue as she shifted her gaze from him to the door behind them."When did you become this messed up. So cold hearted?" She asked, shaking her head.She pushed past Caleb, dragging a limping William at her side, without giving a backward glance.Caleb observed Emily and the imposter walk away, sighing heavily and shaking his head in helpless frus

She wasn't even sure if she wanted to be friends with Caleb anymore. Tonight he had acted like a total asshole And she felt as if their so called friendship had been a lie. The word friend sounds false even to her own ears, but tonigh, Caleb had showed his true colors. He was no more a friend. He was just her neighbour . Nothing more. "Why the silence? Did I leave you speechless?" William inquired as they halted at a red light. Emily, lost in her thoughts, responded with a puzzled, "Huh...?""If you don't want to be my girlfriend, just say no," William uttered in a dejected tone, sensing her hesitation.Emily managed a small smile as she looked at William.She found herself at a loss for words. The idea of becoming his girlfriend after just meeting him today seemed rushed and a bit imprudent. Although she enjoyed his company, acknowledging his humorous and generous side, she felt the need to truly understand him—his preferences, his dislikes—before making a decision of such signi

The taxi driver furrowed his brow, concern etched across his face as he stole glances at William's bloodied and swollen face through the rear-view mirror."Son, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? You look like you've been through a rough time," the driver remarked with genuine worry.William sighed, growing frustrated with the persistent concern for his well-being. He met the driver's eyes in the mirror, determined to downplay the severity of his injuries."I appreciate the concern, but trust me, these injuries aren't as bad as they look. No need for the hospital. Just take me to Maximus rental store," he insisted, redirecting the focus away from his battered appearance.William wiped away a trickle of blood running down the side of his face, emanating from an unseen wound on his head. The taxi driver let out a disapproving sigh, shaking his head in response to William's insistence that the injuries were minor."Young people these days," the driver muttered under his b
