The entire campus had erupted into a frenzy as the news of Mystery Billionaire’s unveiling reached them. Joanne had tweeted it on her Twitter handle.“The biggest unveiling: Mystery billionaire to show his face to the world at Tween’s fashion fiesta!”The news would have been discarded if it had come from any other person. But it was from Joanne, and to confirm the authenticity of the news, Tween’s official handle also posted it on their page.Flyers littered every hallway. Social media was on fire. Girls twirled in front of mirrors, fantasizing not just about winning the crown at Tween’s Fashion Fiesta anymore, but about what it would mean to be crowned by Mystery Billionaire himself.Tween’s Fashion Fiesta was taking a new turn every new day that everyone was looking forward to attending already. A lot of functions have been held on campus but this fashion fiesta was looking like one that would be the grandest of them all.Not even Suzie Q’s concert could command such anticipation a

The ring light haloed Bella’s head in a soft glow as she led Trey back into the room for her live session with him. It had been a while since she hosted a full-scale livestream, and her fans were ravenous for her return.She had been so mixed up with Jackson and his crew that she was beginning to forget what she was known for.All thanks to Trey, who called her up earlier that morning that he would love to be featured in her livestream session and to talk about the Whitelists—the most powerful enterprise in Asia.He had heard the buzz about the unmasking of Mystery Billionaire and he wanted to prove to the students that Mystery Billionaire doesn’t deserve all of the fuss.When he found out that Bella held the same point of view as him regarding Mystery Billionaire, he decided to use the livestream session to talk down about him and to prevent the students and the other citizens of the city from attending.Bella and Trey kicked off the livestream, and within the first three minutes, th

Tween’s fashion fiesta had indeed come out beyond expectations. The fashion world was about to experience a whole new turn, as the designs from Tween were nothing like they’d ever seen before.Tween was not called the queen of the fashion world for no reason—because in the real sense of it, she had lived up to the hype. And the models—those ladies were the embodiment of beauty and class that the judges couldn’t pick the best among them and had to let someone else do it.“We’ll be leaving Mystery Billionaire to choose the best three for us, and whatever his decision will be, that will be final.” Lady Tween had said.The crowd erupted into a wild cheer as they waited for Mystery Billionaire to come to the stage and choose the winners.It was all part of the plan with Lady Tween and the judges, and this was the point where he would call out Hailey, Bella, and Nancy as the three finalists of the pageant, qualifying them for the grand prize of $70 million, $50 million, and $30 million, res

The applause ceased but not without echoes that lingered through the auditorium. Jackson turned to his friends James, Andrew, Nancy, and Bella. They stared at him—eyes wide, mouths slightly agape, their faces painted in a blend of disbelief, hurt, and anger.He could almost tell what was going on in their minds—what they were thinking—and he was ready to make them understand and to answer the questions that he believed they were already having.But before Jackson could even speak, James turned on his heel and began walking off the stage.“Wait—” Jackson stepped forward, heart thudding.Nancy followed James, her arms crossed tightly as though holding herself together. Andrew gently touched Hailey’s arm, nodding toward the exit. “Come on,” he said, his voice low. “We’re leaving.”“Guys—please,” Jackson said as he jumped down from the stage, ignoring the chatter, the cameras, and the hundreds of flashing lights. “Don’t walk away like this. Please. Let me explain.”James whirled around. “

“What’s the meaning of this?” Mark Peniel’s thunderous voice boomed across the corridor as he stormed through with two other Whitelist executives in tow, facing Yvonne Tween like a prey ready to devour its predator.He couldn’t believe Tween had invited him as a guest to her fashion fiesta just to make him and his executive members look like idiots.But that was what the plan was all about. Mr. Copper and the other members of the Hart’s inner circle had heard of the collaboration between the Whitelists’ top executives and the Red Tails Mafia Organization.As a matter of fact, the rumor speculated that Red Tails was trying to start their takeover from the end of the Whitelists, as they were the ones who were loyal to the mafia organization.This was the reason why Mr. Copper wanted Jackson to unmask himself early enough so he could thwart their plans and restore order to the Hart’s empire and protect the legacy of his late father.Jackson walked in to meet the commotion and quickly int
