Ting!A message arrived on Brian's phone."[Your girlfriend is cheating on you!]"Brian stared at the screen for a few seconds longer than necessary.The message was short, with no sender's name and no explanation. Just one sentence that felt like a brick to the head.He let out a shaky breath and locked his phone. He dismissed it as a prank or just the work of someone with nothing to do.But the messages didn't stop there.The next day, the same message came in again. The day after that, again. Until, before he knew it, tonight was the seventh day Brian had received similar messages from the same number, at almost exactly the same time."Shit! What does this person want?" Brian muttered in annoyance.Not only were they annoying, but they were also starting to make him sick. Every notification sound felt like a taunt.But on the other hand, there was a part of him that wanted to prove this was all nonsense. Lily wasn't that kind of woman. Lily was loyal. He was sure of it.Brian hadn'

“What?” Brian asked quietly.The words just slipped out of his mouth. His head felt blank, as if his brain refused to process what he had just heard. He stood stiffly, staring at Lily, who stood before him without a trace of guilt.“Alex and I love each other,” Lily replied, repeating herself in the same tone, flat and unhesitating.It wasn’t that Brian hadn’t heard. Every word resonated clearly in his ears. However, the pain was so deep that it was hard to breathe. His chest felt tight, his throat dry.“But… we’re getting married,” Brian muttered unconsciously.The words came out softly, almost a whisper. Not to Lily, but more like a reminder to himself of the plan he had been holding onto.Lily snorted slightly. Her face turned cold.“You think I want a hard life with you?” she said sharply. “You think I can survive in that small, shabby apartment? I’m realistic, Brian. I choose Alex. I want a better life. Not a life of misery.”The words hit harder than any other punch. Lily said t

"Ah, absolutely insane. What's this?" Brian muttered as he stared at his phone screen.Brian held his head in both hands, feeling torn between reality and surrealism."Am I going insane?" Brian asked himself.Water was still dripping from his hair and clothes. His body felt cold, but his eyes were glued to the text on the screen. In his confusion and confusion, a slight curiosity arose that he found difficult to suppress. Especially when his eyes caught the number clearly displayed there.The number was too large to ignore."One hundred million rupiah," Brian muttered softly.Perhaps to some, that amount wasn't much. But to Brian, a poor student living off part-time wages and a meager living, the number felt impossible. He had never actually held that much money in his life.Brian took a deep breath. He put his phone aside for a moment, then tried to climb back onto the bridge. His hands held onto the railing, his legs trembling as he climbed. His old motorcycle was gone, submerged in

Having ordered an online taxi, Brian headed to the address listed on his phone. His body was starting to improve, although he still felt weak. The journey took almost an hour until the vehicle finally entered a housing complex.The neighborhood looked beautiful, neat, and well-organized. Trees lined the streets, and large houses stood with spacious yards. But the atmosphere was strange. It was quiet. There were no security guards at the gates, no gates, no checkpoints. Anyone could enter or exit easily.Luxury buildings stood in rows devoid of any signs of life. No children were playing, no televisions were playing, and no people were even passing by. The complex felt like an abandoned residence, though clearly still occupied."Number two-five," Brian muttered, staring at his phone screen.He slowed his pace when he finally found the house that matched the address. It was different from the others. While the surrounding neighborhood seemed dead, this house was bustling with life. Seve

“Wait!” Brian shouted as the four men advanced toward him.They stopped in their tracks. Toni smiled faintly, as if anticipating that reaction. It seemed to him that it was only a matter of time before the skinny young man in front of him gave up and chose to retreat safely.“That’s the right decision,” Toni said casually. “Rather than wasting your time and energy, it’s better to retreat. Two hundred million isn’t much. But I don’t intend to pay it anyway.”Brian took a deep breath. His chest heaved, not out of fear alone, but from controlling his emotions.“I’m not going to retreat,” he said calmly. “I just want to clarify the rules of the game.”“Huh?” Toni raised an eyebrow. “Rules of the game?”Toni’s gaze swept over Brian’s body from head to toe. His body was ordinary, even looking thin and weak. His skin was pale, his shoulders were not broad. Never mind facing four people at once, even facing one would be enough to knock him out.“You want to make rules with me?” Toni asked, hi

"What's your name?" Toni asked, subtly signaling to one of the women who had been standing nearby."Brian."Toni nodded slowly. His gaze then shifted to the four people he trusted, who were now lying on the ground, groaning and holding their bodies. Toni's face hardened. He spat to the side in annoyance."Fire them," he said coldly. "I don't want to see their faces around me anymore."There was no rebuttal. Several people quickly pulled the four men away from the yard. The previously chaotic atmosphere slowly returned to calm.Not long after, the beautiful woman returned from the house carrying a black suitcase. Toni grabbed the suitcase roughly and opened it in front of Brian. It was filled with neatly stacked bundles of cash.Brian was speechless. Seeing that much cash in this day and age felt strange."Here's the money," Toni said curtly. He closed the suitcase and tossed it toward Brian.Brian caught the suitcase with both hands. Its weight was immediately felt. Without another wo

"Huh? You really got this much money?" Brian asked in disbelief.His eyes, which had been heavy with sleep, immediately snapped open. His gaze was fixed on the phone screen, making sure the number displayed hadn't changed.His account balance had truly increased to an amount he'd never even dared to imagine. In his entire life, seeing such a large amount in his account had been a mere dream. Even a million rupiah seemed rare, let alone tens of times that amount.But now, the money was actually in his account. One hundred million rupiah."I'm rich!" he exclaimed spontaneously, jumping out of bed.The statement sounded exaggerated, even to his own ears. He knew it wasn't enough to be considered rich. However, for someone who had always had to count small change for food and transportation, the figure was more than enough to make his heart race.In fact, if he added up all his wages, it would take him who knew how many years to accumulate that much money. Now, in a single day, it had lan

Alex instinctively raised his hand, intending to hit Brian. His face flushed red, his jaw clenched, holding back his emotions. He was furious at what Brian had said to Lily.But that thought was cut short when their lecturer appeared at the front of the class. Like it or not, they all had to go in. Alex could only give him an angry glare before turning to leave.Brian simply flashed a triumphant smile at Alex and Lily. However, pain welled up in his chest. After all, the woman he had been with for two years must still have left him with feelings of love and heartache."Brian, you're so brave," Jackson whispered as they sat down in their seats."Did I say something wrong?" Brian asked quietly, his eyes still fixed on the front."Not really," Jackson answered honestly. "They do need to be taught a lesson. If they really loved each other, why didn't they start earlier? You've been dating Lily for almost two years, and then you get betrayed like this."Brian sighed softly. “Never mind. Ju

"Never mind, the important thing is that starting tomorrow night, you don't need to come here anymore," Rio said, gently patting Brian's shoulder, as if wanting to end the conversation as quickly as possible.Brian sighed heavily. His chest felt tight, not just from losing his job, but because the reason behind it seemed odd. "Please tell me who ordered that. I'm just curious. I never felt like I had any problems with anyone."Rio avoided Brian's gaze. "No need. What's certain is, I'm sorry about what happened.""Just tell me," Brian insisted. "I won't make a scene."Rio was silent for a long moment, then finally relented. "Alex."The name stunned Brian. It was as if all the sounds around him vanished. Alex. The friend he once trusted, the man who stole Lily, and now also took away his only source of income. Brian swallowed, trying to control the anger that was starting to rise."Alex?" he asked to confirm, even though the answer was already obvious.Rio nodded. “Yes. He helped out th

“Huh? Me?” Brian asked, surprised.“Yes, I want you.”“But, I didn’t provide a reward. And I didn’t promise one either,” Brian replied.Emily chuckled. “I know. But, I want you as the reward. You seem to have quite a nice body.”“Excuse me,” Brian said, quickly standing up to leave. This place was quite dangerous for him; if he couldn’t control himself, he would be made a slave to this woman’s lust.But before Brian’s hand reached the door handle, Emily spoke again, making a very tempting offer. A sum of money immediately danced in his mind.“I’ll pay you one billion rupiah for that car.”One billion rupiah was a lot for Brian, even though it wasn’t all his. But, at least five hundred million rupiah was definitely his.“Deal!” Emily said without waiting for Brian to answer.Emily approached Brian, but her slender hands took off all his clothes. Brian’s eyes widened at the sight before him.Emily, indeed, looked older than him. The woman might have been in her thirties. But her body wa
