FEDERICK'S POV [ DING! ] I looked at the message, and I couldn't believe it. This was the first time I was going to be getting a double mission. [ SYSTEM MISSION 1: EXPOSE THE MASK GUY ] [ SYSTEM MISSION 1 REWARD: $12,000,000 ] [ SYSTEM MISSION 2: STOP AN IMPENDING DEATH TO RECEIVE A CONTRACT LABEL WITH A TOP-NOTCH FASHION BRAND ] For a moment, I didn't understand what the systems meant and who I had to protect. At first, my thoughts went towards Garry. I had told him to make sure he knew where the mask guy was going and what he was doing tonight. A part of me wanted to follow him, but then they can't know I can walk now. Not yet.I sat alone in the mansion, my mind reeling with all sorts of thoughts. I looked at my watch, trying to know and understand why Garry had not called. I wanted to call Marcus, who, by the way, has been working with James. I believed he wanted to have it done his own way, but I doubt he knew I could walk. [ DING! ] My phone chimed, and I quick

Damain's POV "Damn it!" I shouted, looking at Richard. "You said you got this. That was what you told me." Richard, who has lost many of his men to Ethan and Aiden, was also fuming with anger. "I wasn't expecting a counterattack. I didn't know he was planning anything, not to mention the fact that he was going to come directly to the clubhouse." Richard replied. "Do you think he knew? Do you think he knew we were going to have him killed?" I asked, looking a bit scared and anxious. "I don't know anything anymore. I think we might need to abort the assassination attempt." Richard said, running his hand through his hair."And who was that? I thought Fred was crippled? What the hell was he doing there tonight?" Richard gazed bore into mine. I was shocked as I tried to recall the accident from the previous night. My face went pale when I finally remembered what I saw. Is it not possible? He fell and broke his spinal cord. There is no way someone with multiple bone fractures can wal

DULLY'S POV " Do you think I am scared of Fred?" He said slowly looking at Damain who was short of words. " Once I deal with you then the likes of Fred will fall in line." I said with a smile. " Why don't we get this over with guys." I looked at Ethan and Aiden who sprang into action. They were about to throw Damian to the ground when Garry walked right into our midst. The atmosphere became even more tensed as my gaze landed on his. " Didn't anyone tell you not to try evil things up here?" Garry said walking in on us. Damian shouted for him to save him by Garry laughed. " If they had told me this day would ever come then I would have said it was a lie. " I had always thought you were invisible. I guess you are not after all." Garry snickered and laughed. " And what up with the mask? Are you tying to stay hidden throughout your days here in the university?" Garry taunted. " Why don't you keep your mouth shut and get the hell out of here? Maybe I will beore linent with you.

FEDERICK'S POVThe hallway seemed to buzz with anticipation as the fashion crew approached. Every eye was on them, and yet, it felt like they were only looking at me. I sat still, my heart pounding loudly against my chest. I didn't understand what was happening.One of the women, dressed in an elegant black suit and dark sunglasses, stopped right in front of me. She smiled, but it wasn’t the kind of smile you gave a stranger — it was like she already knew me."Federick, right?" she said smoothly, her voice cutting through the excited murmurs around us."Y-Yes?" I stammered, feeling the pressure of a thousand stares.She handed me a sleek envelope embossed with a silver crest. I hesitated before taking it, feeling the weight of everyone's attention."You've been personally invited to the pre-launch event for Maison DeViere," she announced, loud enough for the students around me to hear. Gasps echoed down the hallway. "Maison DeViere," the biggest luxury fashion house in the country —

Damain's POV "You can have my inheritance." I said with a shaky breath. "You can have everything. I am ready to give them all to you." I said again. My face bleeding from the severe beating To think that Dully would actually hurt me was something I had never thought of. I had never had the cause to fear him, but now all I have left over is fear. With the death of Richard, I was at his mercy. "And how do we do that? Do you think Father is stupid to give that to you?" Dully asked with a smirk on his face. "I don't want to take any chances. I can just kill you here and be done with it." He said it again, making my heart skip a bit. "I am going to get it. Can you give me some time to get it done?" I pleaded. The atmosphere was tense. He looked at me, "You know I can always make you disappear? If you think you can play smart with me, then I think you need to reconsider that because the next time we are going to be having this conversation, then you are definitely going to wish you we
