The moment Tara heard the words, her face went pale. "I...I..." she stuttered."You can't do it?" Kyle's gaze slowly arched. The air was tense as both exes looked at themselves. "You had me disgraced and humiliated right in front of the whole school, but you wouldn't want the same for him?" Tara moved closer, her hand slowly stretching to grab Kyle, but he was quick to read her actions. "Don't, Tara. You are either going to do it or not. Make your choice." Tara stared at Kyle, and she saw the boy she had once dated was gone. It was more replaced by a sophisticated man who knew exactly what he wanted. "And what happens right afterwards? Are you accepting me back?" Tara asked A sly smile appeared right on Kyle's lips. "That depends on how well you do your job. Show me you meant every single one of the things I asked you to do, and we can call it even. If not, I guess we have no business being seen together." Tara nodded and walked out of sight.She met Zack on the way and quic

The moment Kyle walked out of the room, he met Kelly and Adrian just by the door with a weird smile on their faces. Adrian walked towards him pushing himself off the wall while Kelly followed just right behind. " So, you finally had the chance to challenge me, bastard." he said crossing his arms..Kyle took his time to study Adrian's manly posture. He was not like Stephan or the average male kids at school. Adrian was well built with each of his biceps bulging out. " You like what you see?" he asked with a smile. " You know he is lying to you don't you?" Kelly chipped in. Kyle looked at the two nemesis right in front of him. He would have said Kelly was in love with Adrian but he knew they were family. " You keep calling me bastard. Why?" Kyle asked Adrian smirked while Kelly giggled. " Because you are nothing like us. You are weak and pathetic." he said with a frown. " I made one mistake and grandpa was quick to bring you in." Adrian said again." That is none of my busines

Adrian’s presence alone was enough to shift the atmosphere. The students all kept quiet anticipating his next action. All eyes were on him as he approached the center of the field.The laughter died instantly.Even the wind seemed to pause.Stephan's gaze met with Adrian's, his jaw tightening as his eyes locked onto Adrian. There was history there—rivalry, tension, something deeper than just school competition.Stephan had never seen Adrian as a competition but as rivals, but maybe it was high time he started seeing him as one. Adrian stepped forward casually, his polished shoes brushing against the gravel. His expression was calm, almost bored, but there was something dangerous beneath it."I asked you a question,” Adrian said, his voice low but sharp. “Why don’t you try it?”Stephan scoffed, though the confidence in his tone faltered slightly. “Stay out of this, Adrian. This doesn’t concern you.”Adrian tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “It concerns me th

Justin’s laughter faded the moment he saw Kyle wasn’t joking.The boy’s eyes didn’t waver. There was no hesitation, no playful curiosity—just raw, burning intent.“…You’re serious,” Justin muttered, leaning back in his chair.Kyle didn’t blink. “Are we doing this or not? Answer me.”Justin exhaled slowly, studying him like he was trying to peel back layers that weren’t visible on the surface. “A world-known champion?” he repeated.He relaxed into the chair and stared at Kyle again, “Kid, people spend their entire lives chasing that and still fall short.”Kyle stepped closer, his voice lowering but growing sharper. “That’s not what I asked.”The gym room fell into silence.Justin’s gaze hardened slightly. “Then hear the truth. Yes… it’s possible. But not for someone who treats it like a shortcut.”Kyle’s jaw tightened.“I’m not looking for a shortcut,” he said quietly. “I’m looking for a way to equal the playing field. I want a life for myself and I also need to make money.”That caugh

The moment Kyle and Beth got down in front of the vast estate of the Henderson's home, Kyle gulped the thick saliva at the back of his throat. His face showed that he was not only anxious but scared. Beth laughed holding his hands. " You know they are my parents and soon, they will be yours too." she said slowly, her hands going to Kyle's neck tie. " I can't stop my hands from sweating, Beth. What if they don't like me?" Kyle asked again. "C'mon Kyle. Don't do this. I have watched you for a very long time now. You are a fine young man who always gets back on his feet no matter what. I have seen you take on Stephan and even maybe show you won't be humiliated with or without wealth." Kyle turned back to meet the look on her face and he laughed. " Says a girl who was not ready to walk up to me if I wasn't rich." Beth's gaze furrowed. " You need to understand something, Kyle." she said and paused. Take in deep breath before she continued. " Money opens the door and right no
