The final bell rang, echoing through the halls like a signal of freedom and students began packing up as chatter filled the air. But before anyone could leave the classroom, the energy shifted.Becky walked in and every head turned towards her direction. Her heels clicked confidently against the floor with her sleek hair bouncing with each step, and her perfectly tailored olive-green knit dress hugged her curves in all the right places. But it wasn’t just her beauty that caught attention, it was who she was looking for.“Is she lost?” someone whispered.Desmond’s face lit up when he saw her. He was certain that she came looking for him. Ashley side-eyed Becky with a glare sharp enough to cut glass. She hated the fact that Desmond had stopped looking at her the very moment Becky stepped into the class.Tracy and everyone else straightened in their seat as curiosity flashed through their eyes. But Becky’s focus never wavered as she walked straight up to Dylan ignoring Desmond and a

Desmond wasn’t done, not with his pride stained and the audience forming. He pushed off the desk in front of him and straightened his shirt with exaggerated flair as he stepped in front of Dylan and Barry.Barry knew Desmond was nothing when it comes to fighting. After all, his friend defeated the Bergs family, and that has boasted Barry's confidence.With that he quickly whispered to Dylan to calm down and let him handle the whole situation on his behalf. Barry just wanted to give Desmond a taste of his own medicine and this was the best moment.“Don’t get too comfortable, Dylan. Just because a rich girl drives you in doesn’t mean you belong in her league. Some of us earn our place.” Desmond fired angrily.Barry turned like he had heard the dumbest thing all day. “Earn your place? Bro, you’ve been leeching off your daddy’s connections since high school. Don’t talk like you built anything.”The class rippled again with low chuckles and side-eyes. The shameful humiliation was buildin

Dylan hadn’t even made it halfway to the class building when Barry came charging toward him with his arms waving like a madman.“Bro....damn!”"You're okay?" Dylan was even surprised with Barry's sudden burst.“I’ve never been better!” Barry grinned as he threw an arm around Dylan’s shoulder, like the world hadn’t flipped upside down. Like everything was perfectly normal… except it wasn’t.“You didn’t bring your car? Come on, man! We’re the new face of this campus now. No more moving like some broke-ass dudes. You feel me?” Barry beamed, practically bouncing with every word. His excitement was infectious and chaotic, but very genuine.“Wait, what’s gotten into you?” Dylan raised a brow with a half-smile spreading across his face.“Oh... Yeah, my bad!” Barry laughed, lowering his voice. “Austin told me everything. Every damn detail. Man, do you even know how insane it sounds? I thought he was messing with me until I checked his IG stories…”He leaned in conspiratorially and whispered,

As Dylan approached his class, whispers rippled through the corridors and since his senses are heightened enough, he could hear everything they were saying.Some of the girls were surprised with Dylan's handsomeness and couldn't for a second stare away. They couldn't believe it was the same Dylan they all knew. The every day transformation was already becoming intimidating for other guys.Those that didn't want to admit that Dylan's new look was captivating drifted their attention towards the girl that dropped him off."Isn't that the same girl that came to the dinner party with him?""Wow... I thought the girl just spoke up out of pity for Dylan. Never knew they were together.""I think that's his girlfriend." One of the students cuts into their whispers."Girlfriend? Dylan has such a rich hot girl? That's not possible... Hey, com'on, y'all should think for a second. How can Dylan possibly be dating a rich girl like that." Tracy fired. She was already getting pissed with the admirati

The jeep rolled into the school premises like it belonged there. The sudden movement coupled with the speed the car made its way through the gate alerted everyone and even attracted more attention.Students paused mid-conversation instantly. While some were staring in amusement, others were reaching out for their phones.It wasn’t the car, it was the aura of the man stepping out of it that made the car even more noticeable.Dylan stepped out, calm and composed like the spotlight belonged to him. He moved around to Betty’s side as she lowered the tinted window and saw her smirk as cocky as ever."You're not bad at driving, I must say!" Dylan complimented while maintaining the eye contact. This was something he couldn't do before the infinite system, but now it felt like every trick on having a conversation was imprinted into his head.Right now, confidence poured out of him effortlessly like he owned everything around.There was a propelling force that instinctively pulled Betty towa

Inside, Dylan showed them to the guest wing that had quiet and elegant rooms prepared as if someone had known they would be needed. “Rest here. Eat if you’re hungry, and there are medical supplies in the bathroom cabinets. I have to head to school.”“School? After… everything?” Nicole blinked. She looked genuinely puzzled as to why someone as rich and powerful as Dylan will still look worried about lectures.It didn't make sense to her. Dylan had just pulled off what most would consider a movie-level escape from chaos, and he has shown that he has enough money to even buy the entire school, why still get bothered about school and some shitty class attendance.But the more she stares at Dylan, trying to understand what kind of mystery clouded him, the more confused she becomes.Dylan wasn’t an open book. And even when he seemed like one, the words were written in a language she couldn’t quite decipher.“You know I am still a student...Life doesn't stop.” Dylan added as he made his w

Jones' eyes widened when he saw Jason unleashing a gun, with his hand on the trigger guard already. And in a split second, a whip-crack sound exploded out of the barrel.“Jones!!!!!!” Kenny yelled at the top of his voice when he saw Jones pacing towards Jason, immediately the gun was fired.Coming to the realization that the gun shot he heard was fired towards Kenny. He quickly lunged at Jason.They both crashed to the ground together, rolled together through the wet, dirt, and the thorns and the broken branches, tearing and punching and growling at each other. A large tree root hit Jones in the head, making his ears to ring. Jones got more advantageous with the punches as they rolled down the broken branches.Jason was looking rashly for his pocket gun but couldn't remember where it had fallen. Another resounding punch came from Jones and he couldn't block it.Jason held him as he rolled, making Jones to roll on alongside. They rolled down the hill, the world flipping and flipping

J-kill and Paul ran into an unknown direction, paving through the dense forest. As they stormed through the forest, it morphed into a large open space, cluttered with rocks of different sizes. Paul had no idea about where they were headed, he just had to follow J-kill like a puppet.“Com'on, we're getting close.” J-kill beckoned and started running towards an unpaved road surfaced with gravel. The more they get closer, the more a noticeable grin masked Paul's face. For more than three years, he had never felt such a tender joy.“Is that it?” Paul asked when they stopped running.“Yes! That's our way out. We're out of this forest. Woah,” J-kill yelled.With Paul's eyebrows scrunched up, he asked, “you know about this escape route all these while?”“I think I do, I just don't remember the way. I had to think.” He answered and walked briskly towards the gravel road. They wandered through the road, though J-kill wasn't feeling hopeful, Paul was consumed with zestfulness, that he was fina

“This is FBI, you're completely surrounded, Surrender now!” Came a voice from a megaphone as they close on Jones and the rest of the prisoners, who were still alive. They didn't expect everything to turn out this way, the deaths and everything happening was never close to what Jones planned.Jones and the escaped prisoners were taking cover with the stolen car, while the FBI agents were closing on them from both side. If they should keep running at the open space that lead to the forest, there's a high chance they won't make it there without getting shot.And there is no other option better than surrendering, and Jones wasn't ready to go back to prison. If they are caught as it seems like, they might not get thrown into Atlad prison again. What fate awaits them?“Does that mean, I will be thrown into the same prison as my brother? Is he even in any prison? Why is it not known to public! Dammit,” Jones doesn't know what to believe anymore. He was having mixed feelings and feeling bad w

A Boeing 747 flew over and landed safely on the helipad. The cool mist splashed Melvin Otani's face as he walked out through the door of the jumbo jet.The roaring sound of the jet engine rushed through his ear as the door to the plane shoved open.Hundreds of men in suits fell into a line immediately the door of the jet was open, they had a badge attached to their suit.The badge on their suit was an indication of loyalty to Melvin Otani. Once the loyalty of a recruit is perceived to be without pretense and remorse, they are accepted to serve.While they were anticipating his presence, Joan and five burly men, stepped out. Melvin was behind them, walking in a lordly manner as usual.The whole building, attached to the helipad, was owned by Melvin Otani and no intruder has been able to invade the location. Even the government still doesn't have any idea about Melvin's movement. He comes into the country and leave like the ghost he was. The walking living ghost as known by everyone.“W

Melody briskly walked out of the brick building. It was an old building that had an undeniable serenity. The fusty nosegay of age and quietness embraced her as she walked through the environment.There were drawings imprinted on the walls of the building, but they all seemed to have faded away along the design layers.Despite its deteriorated state, the whole building and the environment had the peace the other world craved.“Hey Melody,” Ramon waved at her and walked towards her.“How's your man, uhm…Chris?” She asked without staring at him. She felt bad and didn't like how she was feeling despite being in a safe place. She tried comforting herself that all seemed to be fine, but she was merely betraying her true feelings.“Oh, Yeah, he's getting better.” He exhaled heavily, before throwing the question he had always wanted to ask since they got the news about Jones escaping. “Why did Jones hire you as his lawyer?”She hiked her head up and stared in surprised at him. She never expec

Jones and the other escaped prisoners were still running at a fast pace through the woods. They are tired, sweaty and breathing heavily. “I knew it. I knew it will get to this. Everything is just fucked up.” Kenny said, slowing down his pace.“I never wanted to join the escape. I—I… I really don't want any of this.” Kenny stammered, trying to catch his breath. He was clearly close to despair. With that, Jones and the other prisoners stopped running.“How long are we going to keep running?” Paul asked out of frustration.Everyone was tired and frustrated. They trusted Jones' plan, but it seemed like everything was going south. They got found before, and they believe the police will find them again if they don't get out of the woods now.Jones had to deploy a new escape plan the very moment he found out that his brother was not in Atlad prison. So his former plan had a means of getting them out of the woods with ease, but since they weren't using his initial plan, it was going to be d
