“What did you say?” He absentmindedly asked the voice that was talking to him in his head.“Mr. Maximus, are you okay?” The nurse who was with him asked politely as her eyes wandered in the room, they were the only ones there.“I… I’m fine.” He nodded skeptically and the nurse sighed.“You are fine now so you are free to leave.” The nurse informed him before leaving the room.[User has Successfully Accepted the Tycoon System] A robotic voice came up again, resonating in the room.“What? Tycoon system? Who are you?” He panicked and suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes and it developed a screen. He could see a computerized screen with a cursor for illustration through his eyes.“This is crazy.” He shook his head in disagreement.[Tycoon System will help you accomplish your task. For every mission, you would be given a reward and for every failure, you would be punished severely.] The robotic voice continued.“So?” He curled his lips, trying to understand what was happening.[You have a
“How could Richard do this to me?” He mumbled to himself as he sat on the bed.Sleep had disappeared from his eyes and he was no longer comfortable in staying in the apartment anymore.Soon, the ringing of his phone brought him out of his reverie. He picked up the call immediately after he saw the caller.It was Anastasia, his girlfriend.“Hello?” He smiled, her call automatically lightening up his mood.She hissed over the phone. “Didn’t you see my message?” She questioned, her harsh voice didn’t hide and it was as though she was standing before him.“What message, Ana? I haven’t seen anything.” He shook his head.“You dickhead. I have called you a hundred times and sent you messages! My mother is dying.” She screamed over the phone. Rather than slowly explaining things to him, she ranted on the phone.“What do you mean?” He jumped out from the bed, looking anxious.“I’m coming there now.” He rambled with words.“I don’t need your fucking presence, all I need is money. My mum is dyin
“Sir, I received an order from a certain company named TYS, they asked me to deliver this to you.” The delivery man said, handing him a brown box containing a laptop.“Thank you.” He said.“But, sir, our company tried to navigate where this TYS company is located but directed us to you.” The delivery man gave him a suspicious stare.“Do you work with such a company or have an affair with it?” The delivery man asked politely.“I think you are mistaken. I’m the CEO of Wayles Enterprises, maybe my secretary must have made a mistake or something.” He lied blatantly.He knew it was the system’s code name TYS and couldn’t disclose it to anyone.“Sure. Go ahead and sign the document.” The delivery man said, giving him a file and pen.The following morning, his new driver rode the neon blue SUV car as he sat in the back seat, putting on his earphones. Something had been bothering him and he wanted to know if was possible to go against the system’s order.“Hey TYS, can we talk?” He pretended a
The lady shook her head, sighed, and walked to another corner. He roughly scratched his head in fatigue and annoyance as his eyes rolled from left to right.If she wasn’t needy, the system’s location tag wouldn’t be above her head, he tried to check if he would see another target but the street was empty with few people who mind their business.“This is crazy.” He muttered as he approached the lady.“Okay, my apologies for how I sounded earlier.” He couldn’t believe the fact that he was begging who was at fault and also begging to help someone.“That’s the past, you can go.” She sounded so proud as if she deserved it. He scoffed.“So, is there something I can help you with? Maybe with a lift or something?” He asked anxiously, his eyes rolling over her.She smirked, facing him. Her light yellow eyes intoxicated him for the first time and his Adam's apple glided, and he suddenly became nervous.“Actually, there is something I need help with.” She said sadly.“What’s it? I’m willing to h
“Someone! Someone! Please, take me out of here!” Kaiden banged the bars as the police officers ignored him.“I didn't do anything and you are locking me up. Do you know what will happen to your ass if my parents find out about this?” He questioned them in disgust as he couldn't contend with his anger.“Mr. Kaiden, please keep quiet. Without Mr. Richard's command, we can't grant you a bail and you have to reach your own end of the bargain.” One of the police officers informed him.“How much do I owe him that warrants him to ruin my reputation?” Kaiden asked curtly.“Should we remind you of your debt?” The police officer scoffed in mockery.Kaiden exhaled heavily. He knew if he continued, he would end up in a futile ground. “Can you put my parents on the phone? I want to speak with them.” He said seriously.“Sure. You can do that and that will also fasten your release.” The police officer handed the office telephone to him.He took it and gave it a long look. He was having two thoughts b
Nina smirked and laughed herself in mockery as she reminisced on a past incident. He was the first person to have told her off to her face, didn’t care about her wealth, and didn’t have any intimate feelings for her.As much as it annoyed her, she was somewhat excited that she had gotten a co-dominant rivalry. FLASHBACK He stopped her from entering the elevator and dragged her to a corner, she stared at him in confusion.“What are you doing?” She queried in annoyance.“Are you so desperate that you got married to a man without doing your research about him?” He fired her with a question curtly.“And how is that your business? I gave you an opportunity but you cast it away!” She spat at his face annoyingly.“Oh really? An opportunity to be your lackey and not your husband.” He spilled the bitter truth to her and she rolled her eyes sarcastically.“It’s none of your business.” She said.“I thought you said we never met? Why does it look like you are filled with rejection after getting
Nina was still blocking the door path, disagreeing to let Martha into their mansion. Meanwhile, Kaiden stepped out of the bedroom, the towel tied around his waist and another which he used to clean his hair.“Babe, what’s going on?” He asked as he climbed down the stairs.“Son!” Martha called out to him impatiently and he stopped in his tracks, staring at his mother in disbelief.“Mother! How did you find me here?” He questioned impatiently.“Stop playing clueless. I know you told your mother our address which isn't nice.” Nina rolled her eyes in annoyance.“I never did.” He said with certainty, shaking his head.“You did.” She refused to believe him.“He didn’t.” Martha’s voice came up and they faced her.“He refused to tell me so I had to track him down. I can’t have my son married and not know where he lives.” Martha said and shrugged.“You would have at least informed us that you are coming. I’m sorry but I can’t have you in my mansion.” She spilled bluntly.“What? Are you trying t
“What’s going on between you and your overbearing wife, Nina?” Martha asked her son in annoyance as she sat beside him on the armchair.It was evening and the only thing a jobless full-time housewife could do was watch Telemundo to forget about her sorrow.“I will appreciate it if you don’t mind yourself with my life from now on.” He snorted curtly.“Oh really? Then what could a newly married man be doing in his father’s house when his lonely wife is at home?” She questioned him in mockery and he sighed.“Mother, I don’t know what to do about Nina.” He frowned.“What do you mean?” Martha couldn’t be more excited, especially when there was an interested gist beside her.“I mean, she doesn’t want me to touch her and every time I try to act romantic, she gets annoyed and leaves the house.” He paused and faced his mother.“I can’t return home not because we would either get into a fight or I will be left to sleep on the cold bed, what’s the difference?” He raised an annoying brow.“Don’t t
Maximus folded his hands at his back as he paced around his office. He paused, rubbing his chin, and gulped the water but it still wasn’t able to keep him at ease, he started pacing again.He paused in front of the small panoramic window, staring at the bustling morning sight of the city. For a while, it soothed his heart but it wasn’t able to completely get rid of his worry.“Boss.” As soon as Myles stepped into his office, he faced him with anxiety permeating through his eyes.Myles had knocked but because he was deep thinking, he didn’t hear it.“Where have you been?” He asked him.“Have you forgotten you asked me to check on the suspect?” Myles tried to jog down his memory as he trailed off, and he nodded his head.“That’s true.” He exhaled shortly.“What's the update?” His statement followed.“The man is an ordinary man as he looked. I followed him for half a day and noticed he did menial work for a living. He didn’t do anything suspicious. He spends almost ten hours at his places
