Just after finishing her afternoon classes, Alice headed straight to the hospital. The events of the previous night were still playing in her head—how she had been tied up, and how she was almost killed. Even though she had survived thanks to Mark, her uncle Mr. Darren wasnt so lucky. He had been at the mercy of the Reaper, beaten so brutally that, for a terrifying moment, she had been certain he was already dead. It was only after she and Mark had rushed him into the emergency room last night that the doctors gave her a little hope: he would live, but the recovery would be long, uncertain, and cruel. The damage was extensive. The Reaper had systematically targeted his ankles with a crossbar, leaving them a ruin of swollen, crimson flesh and shattered bone. The doctors warned her that even with surgery, it would be a long time before he could walk again. Given the gravity of the situation, she had

Moving further into the house, I marveled silently at how completely wasted everyone already seemed to be. It was barely past 8:30, after all. Deciding not to be the wet lemon, I made my way over to a bar manned by two girls in bunny suits and domino masks. "What do you want, hun?" one of them asked, smirking as l stared maybe a second too long on her generous cleavage. "Bartender's choice," I replied smoothly. The other bunny perked up, leaning over the counter. "Oh, you have a sexy voice, mister, you know that?" "Not as sexy as you are, I'd wager," I countered. They both giggled as the first one slid a dark, bubbling drink toward me. "Have fun, sweetie," she purred before turning to the next group. I sipped the drink, the cool liquid fueling the buzz already humming in my veins. I drifted through the crowd of overexcited guests, keepin

[Side Quest: The VIP Lady][Objective: Satisfy the VIP Lady.][Current Satisfaction: 47%][Goal: Reach 100% to claim your rewards!]As if to urge me to cross that final line of abomination, the System flashed the message right before my eyes. I leaned closer to the bed, but instead of stripping off my clothes to fuck my sister, I simply patted her on the back."Come on, Rita. You're drunk. Get dressed; I'm taking you home."She looked back at me over her shoulder, her brow furrowed in a deep frown. "What?""You heard me. Get dressed."I threw her clothes at her. Mom had told me to look out for her, to make sure she wasn't getting into anything wild. And for once, I was actually doing my job."You're such a dick, Mark! Ugh!" she growled, balling her fists in frustration.Despite her anger, she began pulling her clothes on. She started with her panties, deliberately bending over in front of me so I could see he

Finally, at last, we were driving out of Astras, heading to our new place.Leading the convoy was Lady Clarice, driving her red Ferrari with my mom sitting on her passanger seat. Behind her was Rita in her Mini Cooper, while I followed in my Codalunga.It had taken my sister's help to finally get rid of Lilith earlier. The girl was so uptight about leaving me alone, holding onto me firmly until Rita came by and talked some sense into her. Only then did she return to her normal self. But of course, she made me promise to come and check on her, and I was more than ready to fulfill that promise. I wouldn't want to treat her incorrectly and risk angering her.The drive to Riverton City was smooth and satisfying, especially given the beast I was driving. Slow music played on the radio, and the fresh wind hit me nicely through the open window. I was also very happy knowing my family was just as glad that we had moved out.In about two hours, we fin

It was already getting dark when Mark arrived in Astras Town. He pulled up to a red light and dialed Alice. "I’m here," he said, the phone pressed to his ear. "Where are you at?" "Some bar down the street. I think it’s called The Vista. I’ll send you the pin," Alice replied. Mark frowned. "A bar? Why meet there to talk about Mr. Darren?" "Please, just get here before seven-thirty," she pleaded, her voice thin. "Fine, fine," he muttered, ending the call. When the light flashed green, he drove toward the outskirts of town. He arrived at 7:28 PM. The Vista was a squat, local dive that looked cheap from the curb but was surprisingly packed. Inside, the air was filled with sweat, cigarette smoke, and cheap beer. Music thudmed against his eardrums, vibrating in his chest. He scanned the crowd and spotted Alice tucked away at a small, wobbly table in the far back.<
