""Jaai!!!"" Everyone exclaimed as Jaai walked.

The director still felt glued to the spot after stepping out of the way for Jaai.

Jada was in utmost shock as she stared at Jaai. It would seem as though the whole world had turned into a soft ball that continously spin around her head.

'"What's happening? How's he here?"" Marcus was as stupefied as the rest of the family.

""Didn't you say that he slumped into coma? How can he be here?"" Gerard took his turn.

""Talk to me, Jada! What's happening here? Did you lie to me?!!!"" Elaine was about to lose her mind.

If there was anything that Elaine loathed the most. It was being made a fool of. She could go to the extent of skinning anyone alive.

And now to think that her daughter would do that to her, supported by the director? Elaine didn't know what to think.

""Never mother. I s-swear on my life. I d-didn't lie to you."" Jada stuttered, still feeling the spin in her head.

There were too many things to process for her. The thought of Jaai waking up from coma doesn't only bring a shocking surprise, but also a looming fact!!!

What if Jaai says something about the cheating scandal? Jada was fidgeting at this point.

""Hey, you! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in coma?"" Marcus accused, walking boldly towards Jaai.

He stopped right in front of Jaai, matching up his height.

""You loser. Did you pull a prank on my sister? Did you make a scene to extort money?"" Marcus continually slandered Jaai.

""Step out of my way."" Jaai shoved him to the side and walked towards Elaine.

Everyone was stunned by the strange audacity that Jaai had. From where did he suddenly get it?

In fact, the manner at which he had shoved Marcus to the side was not ordinary. It was a little shove, but Marcus almost fell over his face.

""Mother, I have something to tell you."" Jaai announced as he stood right in front of the matriach, Elaine.

""What!"" Jada and the director suddenly exclaimed in chorus.

All eyes went to them for a moment. Why did they exclaim at the same time? And for what reason?

But no one cared much about that, Jaai was keeping a very hostile aura and demeanor.

Jaai swallowed a lump. He didn't really think this through before running down here, but there was no point in regret. He is here already.

Although Jaai knew that his mother-in-law doesn't approve of him and wanted to dispose of him, yet he knew how much Elaine hated infidelity!

Elaine was the kind of person that would urge her daughter to divorce Jaai instead of ask her to sleep with another man while she was still legally married to Jaai.

Elaine hated infidelity so much that her sons thinks twice before introducing their girlfriends to her. In fact, it was rumored that she killed her husband over infidelity. It was a sort of traumatic inference.

""This little shit!!!"" Marcus got a grip of himself, enraged by the fact that Jaai had the guts to shove him out of the way.

""Come here. Let me teach you some lesson."" Marcus grabbed Jaai from behind and wanted to hit him.

""Get a grip of yourself!!!"" Elaine snapped at her son.

Marcus was fuming, but he had to respect his mother.

""What is this, Jaai? Your wife said that you fell from a staircase and hit your head. She said you were taken to the hospital and that you fell into coma. We were talking about coming to see you after father's birthday party."" Elaine tried to catch her breath.

"How are you here then? What's happening here? Somebody talk to me!!!" She let out a scream, emphasizing how frustrated she was at that moment.

"Yes, talk!" Gerard snapped at him.

Jaai took a second out to look at everyone. He saw the look on Jada's face. It was identical to the look on the Director's. They couldn't hide their fears.

""That can wait. I have something even more shocking to say."" Jaai took steps closer to Elaine.

""Jaai. How about we go outside and talk?"" Jada suddenly hurried to Jaai. She grabbed one of his arms.

When Jaai looked at her, he wasn't seeing his precious anymore. He was seeing a cheater in a white towel. The image of how she was smiling flashed through his mind. The words she said as soon as she opened the door rang in his head again. He gritted his teeth.

He knew why she was acting like this. She wasn't acting like this because she regretted what she did. Instead, she was acting this way because she was scared of what her mother would do to her!

Even in a moment like this when he was hurting, she couldn't help but think only about herself. It cut deeply into Jaai's heart.

Enraged, he snatched his arm from her grasp.

""I caught your daughter, my wife, sleeping with the director!"" Jaai yelled.

When he yelled this, the whole place exploded. Not one person in the foyer didn't exclaim. Only the pitch of the screams set them apart.

""W-what, wh-hat are you talking about?"" Elaine stuttered, her head was itching.

She struggled to find a seat before she would lose her balance.

""Mother. Mother, please do not believe him."" Jada quickly ran to her mother.

""Stay out of my way."" Elaine said softly, but the emphasis was so glaring.

""Jaai. Repeat what you just said. I can't---""

""My wife has been cheating on me with the director."" Jaai repeated firmly.

""Today is our wedding anniversary. I suddenly found out that I was sacked and went to the Director's house to ask why. Only for me to see my wife in a towel, calling the director that she was horny."" Jaai tried to catch his breath.

""Do you know what was more painful?"" He sniffled.

""I walked up the staircase to give the director a pack of condoms! A pack of condoms that he was going to use on own wife!!!"" Jaai chuckled. There was pain in his smile. He didn't want to continue. He didn't think he could do this to himself.

His heart was wrenched. He could feel the confetti of his heart flowing in his canal.

""How did you think I fell from a staircase? Who did you think pushed me?"" Jaai yelled.

Everyone was frozen to shock. All eyes on Jaai. No one in the family had seen him like this before. Not even Elaine after all the humiliation she had subjected him to in the past.

She had made him wash clothes, cook, clean and even slapped him several times. Yet he never yelled out like this.

If he's acting this way, doesn't that mean that this is extreme?

Elaine was lost and confounded. Suddenly, her eyes turned red and she jumped up on her feet,

""Jada!!!"" She yelled her daughter's name.

    'Eon' That was the name that the elderly woman had just referred to him as. No one, in his nearest memories had ever called him by that name. In fact, he had thought that the name was just a spinoff of his surname. The fact that this elderly woman had just mentioned that name of his, he couldn't help but be moved. There was no lie that this woman knew him personally. Jaai knew that he didn't have to do anything just yet. He could just allow the moment unfold gradually. She seemed to be going through a lot of emotions. He couldn't take that away from her. While he she was hugging him and crying, Jaai was trying to think of a couple of things, too. But no matter how hard he was trying to reach into the shelves of memories, nothing seemed to work. "There she is!!!" A sudden masculine voice built behind them. When the woman heard the voice, she pulled away from Jaia instantly. The feelings and emotions she was going through seemed to have vanished into thin air because of the recent

    "Hold on." Jaai tried to catch his breath. "Are you saying that the memory of my time here at the orphanage was wiped off as a consequence of mr triggering the task?" Jaai wanted to be certain that he wasn't hearing things. "You see, a system has a pattern. These set of patterns is why it's called a system. If there are altercations then there would consequences. I'm sorry that I didn't inform you about that earlier." Mumuthebull bowed to him again. Jaai had no idea why his eyes always fall on her big tits whenever she bowed to him. He could swear that it was never his intention to do that. Especially not at this moment when his mind was boggled. "But why? Why that memory of all memories? Why wasn't it one of the memories I had during the task, especially the one with those jerks!!!" He yelled. "If what you mean is the memory that served as the cheat code for the completion of your first task, then that's rather improbable." She explained. Jaai didn't know what to say to her. She

    The phone slid down from Jaai's cheeks and he stared at it for a moment. His facial expression held a note of disappointment."Why isn't she answering my call?" He muttered, staring at the screen for the moment.[Ping! You've arrived at your destination]Jaai was kicked out of the thoughts by the automated voice of the virtual map on the dashboard of the Bugatti Veyron. He pulled over tightly by a corner then stepped out.He looked around where he was. It was a slum. The houses here were too shabby to be the home of anyone. A foggy feeling clouded his mind as he stared at the environment.He had decided to park the car here because he didn't want to stir any kind of attention. He still needed to walk at least a mile before getting to his exact destination.He had made sure to inquire of Diane well about the location before setting out for the journey. He didn't want to do anything that he would regret, or cause anyone trouble.After walking for several minutes, he cut the last turn an

    As soon as Steven walked out of the restaurant, the lanky man walked back in and dropped on his knees in front of Diane. "Did you tell him yet?" The man asked, hardly looking into her eyes out of respect. "He doesn't have to know yet." She replied briefly. "He loves money. I'm sure he'll do this for influence and the incentive. Meeting me means a lot to him and he would want to meet me over and over again."The man was silent for a while after her explanation. Even though he hadn't spoken a word yet, Diane could tell that there was something on his mind. "Spill it." She demanded. "I'm just worried about how this will play out." He replied carefully. "Speak in plain words to me." She demanded. "If they both discover whom they are later in the future, how would it look?" He asked, more like speaking to himself than he was to her. "The butler of an old family found his young master after decades. What would the scenes and emotions be?"Diane's gaze was keen on the face of the henc

    Steven couldn't ask her directly how she came to know his name, but that question was killing him. He wished he could summon the courage to question a woman as powerful as Diane. It was already a wonder and shock how he found himself here, talk more of pressing the matter with intent. "You've met, Jaai." She continued, staring at him with utter seriousness. Steven swallowed a lump, not sure of how to react to this. The dead seriousness on her face was something that would naturally spark curiosity and fear inside him. "Jaai? I'm not sure if I've heard that name before." Steven tried to bring back a couple of recent memories, but the name didn't ring a note. Of course he had spoken with a couple of people who had given him money out of goodwill. In fact, some of them would tell him their names and encourage him never to give up. There was a preacher whom he came in contact with a week ago. The preacher had come to lighten his heart with a good news. At first, it was all beautiful

    Jaai was in disbelief and in utter confusion as he stared at his phone. What had just happened was something that he didn't prepare for. He went from expecting the call of someone to hearing the voice of an entirely different person. He redialed the number that had just called him. He put it on speaker, waiting for the receiver to answer the call. The call rang for a while then it dropped. Jaai tried again and again until the line said it was out of coverage. Jaai swallowed a lump, staring into the space as though he was trying to summon something. "Who could that be?" His heart was heavy from thoughts. There were speculations that he didn't want to give life to. The fact that the voice was that of an elderly person, and it was soft and teary left Jaai even more confused, dying to get the exact detail of the person who had called. While he was thinking about this, something suddenly popped up in his mind. He scrolled through his contacts for a while and dialed the number of Diane
