2025-01-07 20:22:14"Teresa?!" Adrian finally found his voice, but he had to mention her name one more time before she could notice his presence. And even then, she didn't seem to care.
"Oh... Adrian". She mumbled nonchalantly. "What are you doing?" He was unsure of what else to say. His eyes were shooting red already, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Making out with my new boyfriend," she faced him again, smiling flirtingly. He could see Ricardo's face under the bright lights above them. He had an evil smirk printed all around, as if he had been waiting patiently for this day. He was the ladies man, the dream of every girl. And now, Adrian's Teresa included. Adrian still could not believe it. He had thought that even if every girl swoon over the Italian kid for his father's money, Teresa would certainly be different. Was he wrong all along? "But... Us..." He stammered and staggered, eyes fixed on Teresa. She only burst into a wild laughter which brought silence to the room as everyone directed their focus on them. "Us? You really think there was ever any 'us'? I was only with you for the benefits. You were a top student who seemed to know everything, I was a struggling student. So I stayed with you, only for the benefits. I thought you were smart but maybe you aren't smart enough to figure that out." Knees shook and lips shivered as he listened to her cruel words. He could not imagine that she would ever say those vile things. "So you used me all these while?" "Oh no, boy. You benefited from me too, Adyyy. People saw you around me, I'm sure that reduced your weirdness at least. Because trust me boy, without me, you wouldn't have survived a semester on this campus. I mean... Look around you, Adrian. Does anyone of us look like you?" She strolled around him, one arm on his shoulder and the other flying freely, pointing her fingers to every corner of the room and then back to him, the odd one out. The answer was obvious. Everyone else belonged to a super rich family. Everyone except Adrian. He was the black sheep. "What's this?" She took the wrapped box from him. He had cuddled it tightly so far just so he could give it to her. "Awwwnnn... You really got me a gift for Val? Is it the latest jewelry in town? Nah... You can't afford that. Probably just another fake diamond. I don't need your gifts, loser." The present flew back against his chest and into his hands, further deepening his wounds. Teresa cat-walked back to her new boyfriend and they locked in kisses again in front of him. Adrian heard whispers, gasps and laughter of mockery. Even the clapping of hands. Everyone probably thought he deserved this. "This is the best valentine gift ever..." His ears could hear the mockery. He really didn't want to hear any of that, but he did. "It looks like he's gonna cry..." "I would totally love to see that. What a simp! I have gotta have this on camera right now!" A guy pulled out his iPhone, recording. "Cry loser, cry!!" It seemed like eternity when they kissed. He wanted to leave, but his feet wouldn't move. They were rooted to the ground. When it was over, Teresa peered at him one more time. "You don't belong here, dear. Most importantly, you don't deserve me. Get out." She gestured with her head in a cold manner towards the door. Adrian's blood boiled. He couldn't just leave like that. Just like that? Strong hands pulled him from behind. It was the security men. Adrian struggled but they were stronger. They were about to throw him out when Ricardo commanded them to stop with a slight raise of his finger. Then he came slowly. "You know, Adrian. I really pity you. You are nothing but a charity case. That's the only reason you can attend the same school as us, the same parties as us. It's better you know your place. Did you really think you could keep a babe like Teresa? She's a queen around here, you know. You should be her slave." Ricardo stared into Adrian's eyes with disgust, occasionally placing his palm behind his neck and brushing his hair with a dismissive look on his face. He wanted to place his hand on Adrian's shoulder, then he stopped midway as if scared that Adrian carried a disease around. "You should focus on making loads of money so you won't be abandoned again in the future. Geez. Do you have any idea how terrible you look?" He shook his head pitifully and everyone else chorused in laughter. "I know you're a smart kid, Adrian. So I'll give you one chance to walk away peacefully. Walk out of here, just the same way your parents walked out of your life." Dear lord! Did he just mention Adrian's parents? How dare he? His last words triggered a much louder gasp from the audience, and they all thought it was funny. But within Adrian's chest, he felt his heart pump faster in rage. And before anyone could see it coming, his clenched fist landed on Ricardo Rodriguez's face, sending him to the ground and causing chaos to erupt in the blink of an eye. "Did he...?" "He just attacked the face of the university? That sore loser?!" Adrian found himself on the floor as well in no time as Ricardo's guards, friends and servants kicked and punched him blue and black, almost knocking him out cold. The beating became worse in seconds and before he knew it, he could barely lift a finger afterwards. "Pull him up." As they forced him on his knees, his eyes barely opened to see Ricardo seated with a red face, Teresa tending to his scratch. He managed a smirk, satisfied. "Are you laughing?" Ricardo noticed. He stood up in greater annoyance and charged at Adrian. Then he stopped, and bent his face down towards him. "Listen and listen well, Adrian Blood. I know you have nothing, but I promise I will take everything away from you one by one... Starting with this little scholarship of yours." He threatened, but Adrian was too damaged to care. "Throw him out." At Ricardo's command, Adrian felt his body launched into the air by multiple hands, dragged roughly away from the scene. Later, he could see the stars in the sky shortly before he landed roughly on a waste ground littered with broken bottles. He could only scream as the sharp things pierced into his skin and blood came gushing. The foul smell of his surrounding was also unbearable. As he heard footsteps recede from him, his only companion was the gift box he bought for Teresa, lying by his side as helpless as himself. Then like a thought, louder than usual, a voice came into his head. "CHOSEN HEIR SYSTEM. HOST DETECTED. ACTIVATING IN 3... 2... 1..."

A well dressed gentleman was standing behind the guards. He looked like a very rich fellow, and the guards seemed to respect him as he walked towards them."But sir...""No buts", he interrupted, raising his right hand in the air. Then he bent forward and lent a hand to Adrian. "I heard everything. Let the young man come."As Adrian came to his feet, the man shook his hand. "My name is James Halton, I am Mr Rodriquez's personal assistant. I heard everything you said about Miss Lyana. Are you sure about what you are saying?"Not that he was super sure, but the system had been his informant. So far, everything the system said had been true. He could heal from serious injuries in a matter of seconds. He could locate Lyana without having any prior idea of where she might have been. If the system was right in all of that, then it must be right about her life being in danger."Yes sir.

Ricardo Rodriguez was spending the rest of the night with his new girlfriend, celebrating his amazing past few months when his phone rang up."Why are you disturbing me?" He knew it was his friend, Doctor Lewis, but this was not the best time to call him. He was in the middle of such nice time, Teresa's titties bouncing on his lips. Now this nerd had come to ruin it."We have a problem." Lewis said through the phone."This problem so big it can't wait till tomorrow?" Ricardo moaned as Teresa began to blow him slowly."It is your sister." Lewis seemed to be whispering over the phone."What? She finally died?" Ricardo urged Teresa to go faster as he closed his eyes in pleasure."No. She actually recovered."Ricardo's two eyes shot open in shock. "What did you say?""Lyana recovered. And now she's awake."With a violent push, Ricardo threw Teresa against the bed. Then he put on a robe and paced around the room in annoyance."How did this happen, Lewis? You had just one job!""It was all

The university was not the best place to be today. From the very first minute that Adrian laid foot into the environment, the toxicity of the atmosphere stiffened his breathe tight. Every person who saw him would giggle or frown or shake their heads before deeping their faces back into their phone screens. It didn't take long to realize something was going on."What is going on?" He wondered. "Is this because of what happened last night?"Of course the entire school was present when Ricardo had his boys ship him out like unwanted cargo many hours ago. Everyone who witnessed it was eager to make fun of him, like Mrs Huddersfield and Billy. But there was more with the way they all looked at him. Like some criminal who had committed a grievous crime. There must be something more going on around here."Hey system", he whispered. "Can you help me out here?""Absolutely!" The system voice chimed in his head.

"What are you doing here?"Adrian couldn't believe this. Teresa was right there all along and the school authority allowed her to listen in on their conversation? She was just a student like every other person, why allow her such admonition?"Well, Miss Williams is the victim in this case. She surely deserves the liberty of presence through the entire hearing."More like Ricardo had paid his way through to allow her interfere in this interrogation. That way they could make sure Adrian lost completely. Why else was she all dolled up like a wedding bride?"This monster tried to rape me. He should be in a prison somewhere now, I can't even bear to look at him. He is terrifying." She pointed her fingers at him while keeping a safe distance, as though he was some vicious threat she shouldn't be anywhere around."What are you talking about?

Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about. He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day."Hey!!"He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him.Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe."What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again."What? I just paid my bills like a man should.

Adrian's head banged loud at the urgency of the situation. He had to save Ricardo's sister again? He already saved her life last night? Why was her life already in danger again? Now he had to abandon the search for his father?"It is your choice, Adrian. Do you want to continue with the filler mission, or you would like to take on this one instead? You have four minutes left."He really wanted to find out about his father, but the thought of Lyana dying after what he went through last night to save her was not good. He needed to save her again. Afterall he could come back and do this later."Wh... Where is she? At the hospital?"The map appeared. "No, Adrian. She appears to be in a vehicle on her way home from the hospital. For some reason, she was discharged today under untold circumstances."Adrian checked the map. Lyana's vehicle was driving across the Stephanie Lane Bridge Pass. That was way on the other side of town, there was no way he could get there in four minutes."But I ca

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of

As the chairman tilted his head to confirm that there was nobody there with them, he was ready to spill the secret. Adrian Blood leaned to those shadows, and he was not sighted even for a moment. Yet the chairman decided to speak in whispers."Hey, system. I need to use my vital points. Enhanced hearing!" Adrian Blood chose at once, and the system quickly obeyed. The whispers became loud in his ears, and he heard every single word clearly."Your mother was not the only one who cheated." Federico told his son the truth. He needed not to explain in higher terms, no did he needed to narrate the entire history before the understanding could reach Ricardo's mind.Many years ago, young Federico Rodriguez had had to marry Evelyn for the annexation of her family's wealth. At that time, the Rodriguez family had only less than a tenth of their current wealth. With Evelyn's family company Holdings, the Rodriguez company would skyrocket into the skies.

Following the faint memories in his head, Adrian Blood found the paths that led downstairs. The way was unfamiliar, and the system helped him very little. Then he was about to give up when he heard their voices, father and son. After that came their footsteps, edging towards his direction from the right side.Adrian Blood quickly lodged himself away from their path. He leaned against the wall as Federico Rodriguez and Ricardo passed slowly, almost in silence now. That was until Ricardo broke the silence again. "So you are not angry at me?" He asked his father, who was in front. The chairman walked slowly and calmly, even though by the gait of his advance, one could tell how much of a hurry he actually was. He wanted to meet this Hans Zimmer as soon as possible. He had a lot of questions that he needed to ask him. He did not expect that Ricardo would be the one to burden him with questions along the way. Yet he still found the need to give him an answer."No, Ricardo. You are not the

When Ricardo Rodriguez and Federico Rodriguez were ironing out that issue, Adrian Blood was busy kissing their sister and daughter in all the right places, yet he was privy to everything they discussed. Every word they said, every statement they made."CEO BLOOD, THE RECORDING WILL NOT CONTINUE ONCE THE CHAIRMAN LEAVES THE ROOM WITH HIS SON..." The system informed Adrian as soon as Federico and Ricardo walked towards the door and were ready to leave the room.Adrian did not feel a loss at that point. He had been able to get a little from their little conversation. Now he knew that Ricardo Rodriguez was the one who captured Hans Zimmer after all. He also knew where the poor man was being held now, he knew where to look for him.If Hans Zimmer was abducted by Ricardo Rodriguez, did that mean that Amanda Wallers was also in that basement?

"You are wrong, father. I did not take Hans Zimmer just to gain your honour." Ricardo said, cutting the chairman off his inferences and conclusions. "I did not kidnap him to gain your recognition."The chairman stared back into his son's eyes. "Then why?" He asked with his low voice, hard and thick.Ricardo attempted to say something, but then he held his tongue and remained silent. He could not say the truth. "I can't." He muttered.Where was he going to start from. How he grew so jealous of his sister that he decided to murder her? How he realized that he was no match for Lyana's genius so he attempted to kill her not once, not twice and not even thrice? He just could not do it.Meanwhile, Federico's suspicions only grew deeper with his reluctance. Maybe Adrian Blood was right after all. Ricardo had devilish plans towards his own father. Why else would he keep it a secret? Why else would he be unable to tell him what was on his mind? Why else would the question be so difficult to an

Chairman Rodriguez returned to his seat with the walking gait of a general in the military. He took his seat calmly and watched as Ricardo entered slowly and closed the door."What is this about, Father?"The chairman, instead of saying an answer to him, pointed to the empty seat in front of him. Ricardo sighed, still full of fury as he approached the chair and dropped on it. Federico Rodriguez leaned forward, placing his hands on the table between them."There are some questions I have to ask you, son." He started slowly but surely.Ricardo quickly spoke back. "There are some questions I have for you too, father. And I would like to go first."The chairman did not have the time to respond as his son continued."Is it true that you let mother die because you were busy having sex with that woman?""That woman is your stepmother."

Ann had spent several months preparing for that murder. She had learnt about many ways to kill an aristocrat who had wealth and plenty. The only possible way she could settle with was poisoning.Yet no poison would kill a rich man with so much easy. They had enormous funds for urgent medical care, and they had all the facilities to revive themselves. Thus, she had to find that poison that kills in the fastest way possible. The water-blood poison was the best thing she could find. She spent several days leaning about this deadly thing. How to get it, a very rare thing to find. How to handle it, a very volatile thing to hold. How to use it, a very dangerous thing in the wrong hands.

Adrian Blood followed Lyana Rodriguez as she stormed on forward. He grabbed her arm before she could go any further."I have always thought that when my mother died, father was trying all his best to get back to us..." He could not see her face as she stood with her back in his sight, but he could hear the cry in her voice. She sobbed silently, betrayed and destroyed. "I thought that he was racing really quickly. He was panting really hard, hoping to get home on time. Hoping to be there to save his wife..." Of course, by the secret revealed tonight, he was panting really hard. Just not in the way that she would have hoped."I thought that when he arrived and he met her cold body, his entire world was crushing in front of his eyes. I thought he was so pained and so heartbroken that I could see it in his eyes."Adrian Blood did not know how, but the scenery played in front of his eyes.
