Chapter 171: The executives room
Margaret took a small, shaky breath, her heart already fluttering with unease.Then hesitated for half a second before stepping fully into the room.It was quiet inside. Too quiet. Like every sound that existed there had permission to exist. The door clicked shut behind her. That sound alone made something in her chest tighten. She didn’t turn back to look at it. She didn’t want to. Instead, her eyes moved forward.The room was large. Not overly decorated, but expensive in a quiet way. Three men sat there at the far end of the room.All older.All watching her with the unblinking intensity of wolves sizing up a lamb.Margaret felt it immediately.Their eyes devouring her, stripping her bare. A chill raced down her spine, but she swallowed it down and told herself she was overthinking it. These were executives. Important people. Of course, they would carry themselves like this. Of course, the room would feel… different. Still, her steps slowed slightly as she approached. The ma
Chapter 172: I did this
Chapter 172For a brief second, no one moved.The air in the room had changed so suddenly it almost felt unreal, like something invisible had snapped into place.Johnny stood at the doorway, one hand still slightly lowered from pushing it open. His chest rose once, slowly, as his eyes took everything in.Margaret.She was half out of the chair, blouse pulled open at the collar, one sleeve hanging off her shoulder.Her hair was a mess, tears cutting clean lines through her makeup, and her eyes — God, her eyes — were wide open and locked onto him with the kind of desperate relief that a drowning person shows when they finally see the surface.Johnny's jaw tightened.He had seen a lot of horrible things in his life. Before the system and during it. But something about this — her specifically, like this — hit differently.I left her side.The thought came in slow and heavy, settling into his chest like a stone.I walked away, and this is what happened the moment I did.The thought hit har

Margaret didn’t remember how she got to the car.One moment she was running down the hallway, her breath uneven, her chest tight like something was still pressing on it, and the next, she was outside. The air hit her face hard, but it didn’t help. It didn’t calm anything. Her hands were shaking as she unlocked the car.Johnny’s car. That thought alone almost broke her again. She slipped into the driver’s seat and shut the door quickly, like something might follow her if she didn’t. For a second, she just sat there, gripping the steering wheel, staring ahead without seeing anything.Then her breathing hitched. And the tears came. Not small ones. Not quiet ones. It was the kind that came from deep inside, the kind she couldn’t control even if she tried. Her shoulders shook as she bent forward slightly, her forehead almost touching the wheel.He told her to go. He gave her the keys. He made her leave.But still—Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel.“I… I left him…” she mu

The man on the floor lifted his head slightly, his brows pulling together despite the pain on his face. “Who…?” he asked, his voice hoarse. “What are you talking about…?”"Valentine Orlov," Johnny repeated, enunciating each syllable slowly. "I want to know his connection to this competition. Is this some kind of farm for him to pick up people?”The confusion deepened. The man in the middle pushed himself up onto one elbow with visible effort, blinking through his swollen eye."We have no idea what you're talking about," he said. His voice was thick, congested with blood at the back of his throat. "We don't know that name."Johnny watched him for a second. He had expected hesitation. Deflection. Lies. What he got instead was something else entirely. Genuine lack of understanding.He stepped closer, his gaze narrowing slightly. “Don’t waste my time,” he said. “You know exactly who I’m talking about.”“I swear…” the man coughed, wincing as he tried to sit up. “We don’t… we don’t know a
Chapter 175: The performance
Margaret woke up slowly.Not all at once, not like someone startled out of sleep, but in pieces. First the weight in her body, then the dull ache in her head, then the quiet.That was the first thing she noticed when her eyes finally opened.Quiet.Not the kind that pressed on you or made your chest tight. This one felt… soft. Still.She blinked, her gaze unfocused as she stared up at the ceiling above her. It took a few seconds for her mind to catch up, for the room to come into shape.The Sky Sovereign.Right.She lay still for a moment, blinking at the ceiling, her brain running through the usual half-second of confusion that comes with waking up somewhere that isn't quite familiar yet.Then the previous night came back, not all at once but in pieces, the way bad memories tend to return — the room, the men, the hands, the door slamming open, Johnny's voice.Johnny.Her chest tightened immediately.Margaret pushed herself up too quickly, and the world tilted slightly. She winced, on
Chapter 176
Margaret didn’t move immediately after the applause started.The sound came in waves, loud and full, but it felt distant to her, like it was happening behind glass. Her eyes were still fixed on the upper level, on that same spot where she had seen him.Johnny.He hadn’t moved.Even from that distance, she could tell he was watching her. Not the stage, not the crowd. Just her. There was something steady about the way he stood there, arms crossed, expression unreadable from where she was.Her fingers tightened slightly around the microphone.For a second, she almost forgot where she was.Then the noise rushed back in.The judges were speaking, people were clapping, someone called her name again, louder this time, trying to pull her attention back to the present.Margaret blinked and looked forward.She forced herself to breathe properly, to nod, to acknowledge the moment. Her body moved the way it was supposed to, but her mind stayed somewhere else entirely.On him.—By the time the r

Johnny arrived back at the Nebula Hotel. “Welcome back, Johnny.” Sophie Green, said ready to welcome him back with a smile and more. “Hi Sophie.” Johnny replied with the fakest smile he could managed, as his mind was a mess at the moment. “Please cancel all my meetings for today, I don’t want to see anyone for the next six hours.” He added and went straight to the Sky Sovereign. Johnny stood in the middle of his suite for a moment, and ran a hand over his face, exhaling slowly as he read it again, slowly and carefully. Like reading it a second time might somehow change what it said. It didn’t. …. [HOT ASSINGMENT ALERT] Task: Have a threesome Time limit: 6: 00: 00 Penalty: You will lose the Ultimate Harem System and all its granted possessions. …. “Vixen, seriously?” No response. “This is what you go with?” he muttered. Still nothing. That made his jaw tighten slightly. “You don’t even want to explain this one?” he asked. Still nothing. No reply.

Chapter 178Margaret held onto him like she was afraid he might disappear if she let go.Johnny didn’t move at firstHer arms were tight around him, her face pressed against his chest, and he could feel the uneven rhythm of her breathing through his shirt. His hands rested at her back, not quite holding, not quite pulling away, and he stared at a fixed point on the wall above her shoulder and tried to keep his mind organized.His hands hovered for a second before settling gently on her back.It was not easy.The timer in the corner of his vision kept ticking. He wasn't looking at it. He was making a deliberate effort not to look at it. But it was there regardless, patient and indifferent.…[HOT ASSINGMENT ALERT]Task: Have a threesomePenalty: Lose of the system.Time Left: 4:30:00…Of all the nights," he thought. Of all the possible nights for this.Margaret's hug lingered, her cheek against his chest, and he could feel her heartbeat racing through the thin fabric of dress. Par

This wasn’t the reaction he expected. Not even close.Before he could respond, she stepped forward, and kissed him again.This time it was fierce, no holding back. Her tongue teased his, hands fisting in his shirt, pulling him toward the bed.For a moment, Johnny thought about stopping again. About explaining further. About stepping back. But his resistance crumbled. “…Fuck it” he muttered under his breath, as the System's glow fading to irrelevance. He pulled her closer and kissed her back, hands roaming her curves, the athletic firmness of her body under his palms.The distance between them disappeared completely as they moved away from the bar, toward the bedroom without really thinking about it.They tumbled onto the bed in a tangle of limbs, the mattress dipping under their weight. The room's atmosphere wrapped around them—cool sheets against heated skin, the faint hum of the AC, the distant murmur of the hotel corridor like white noise. Johnny peeled off her dress slowly, sa

A while ago, The applause was still going when Margaret walked off that stage. She didn't stop for the production crew. Didn't stop for the congratulations that came from every direction. Because in the middle of all that noise, all that attention, her eyes had gone somewhere else. She had seen him. Up in that back corner, arms crossed, half-swallowed by shadow — and then she had blinked and the lights had shifted and by the time her eyes adjusted, he was gone. Just the wall where he had been standing, empty, like she had imagined the whole thing. She hadn't imagined it. She knew she hadn't. By the time the host tried to guide her toward the stage exit for interviews, Margaret had already taken two steps back. “Miss Grace, just a quick word—” “I’ll be back,” she said quickly, though she didn’t slow down. She didn’t go back. Margaret pushed through the backstage exit, walked straight down the corridor, past people who tried to stop her, past staff who called h
