I sat across from Georgia, enjoying our romantic dinner in one of the expensive cafes. The city lights stretched before us, casting a golden glow over her flawless skin. She looked more beautiful, sipping her wine as my phone vibrated with the confirmation of a bank transfer.

"Wow, you're really paying me?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. I could see the disbelief in her eyes making me let out a small smile. "You thought I was a joking?"

"This is just surprising." She tilted her head, studying me with curious eyes. " You know I still can't believe it."

Georgia said staring at me.

" Can't believe what?" I asked staring at her face.

" Are your parents rich or you have just been hiding the fact that you are rich?"

I chuckled, shaking my head. "I wish. But I'm not destined to have a family."

"You can always build one," she said, taking another sip of her wine, her every movement so graceful it left me momentarily stunned that I began to doubt if I could pull the contract through.

I might just have to offer Georgia another money if it means getting intimate with her.

She was stunning!

I swallowed hard. "I’m impressed." I said slowly lifting my gaze to meet her own. " Surprised? Why?" Georgia asked

" The fact that I haven't paid like I promised earlier on." I replied

Georgia shrugged. "I don’t know why, but since I met you, life has felt more exciting. Maybe I’ve been enjoying my time with you so much that I forgot to care."

" Easy tiger, I thought you said this was mainly based on our contract. Are you falling in love? I heard that you dnt date school guys so what happened?"

She let out a soft laugh. "That makes me sound unreasonable. I don’t date because I don’t have time, not because I have some ridiculous standard."

"Too busy making money?" I guessed.

"Is there any effort that isn’t hard when it comes to making money? Some people are even willing to die for it."

I laughed, the awkwardness between us fading with each shared moment. Something about Georgia made me feel lighter, as if all the burdens of my past didn’t weigh as heavily when I was with her.

And then, before I could stop myself, I reached for her hand.

She blinked in surprise. "Hm? Isn’t it too soon to fall in love?"

I smirked. "I just want to enjoy what’s in front of me. A beautiful woman, a breathtaking city skyline, and a sunset that looks like a painting. It’s perfect."

She smiled but didn’t pull away. Instead, she tightened her grip.

"I always loved beauty," I admitted.

"All women do."

"No, I mean, ever since I was a kid, I admired models. They walk the runway like they're floating—it's the definition of elegance. I wanted to be part of that world, so I’m trying to get into a modeling school."

"Then I’ll support you."

Her smile was dazzling.

"By the way, did you see their faces?" she asked.

"Damian and Mandy? Yeah. And I’m more than satisfied."

She scoffed. "You’re not the type to hold grudges, huh? If I were you, I’d have smashed that brute’s head into the floor the way he did to you in the gym." Georgia said making a scene

I laughed. " How did you know?"

" Your case is the topic at school when it happens. Why don't you?"

"I wanted to," I admitted. "But I couldn’t."

"Why? You were pretty damn cool making him kneel earlier."

"That was just luck." I sighed. "Look at Damian's size. There’s no way I should’ve been able to make him kneel like that. If it wasn’t luck, then what was it?"

Georgia burst out laughing. "I thought you were training to become some overnight Superman. You shoud have seen the look on his face when you made him fall."

I shook my head. "Not interested. I just wanted to put them in their place. Especially Mandy. I’ve never felt heartbreak like that before."

My chest tightened at the memory. The pain was still fresh, a wound that hadn’t quite healed.

Georgia must’ve noticed because she suddenly lit up. "I want cotton candy!" she announced, pointing across the street. "Shall we cut dinner short and find something more fun to do?"

I blinked, caught off guard by how quickly she changed the subject.

Then, I smiled. "Sure."

She laughed. "Go get your car. I’ll take you somewhere nice after this."

"You’re going to buy the cotton candy yourself?" I teased. "Who’s paying?"

She rolled her eyes. "Fred, I’m not so poor that I can’t buy a single sweet. Are you underestimating me?"

I chuckled. "Sorry, I guess I’m getting used to being rich."

"Good," she smirked. "It’s good to get used to good things."

I watched as she walked toward the vendor, a pink cotton candy in her hands. A smile spread across my face as I retrieved my car from the parking lot.

For the first time in a long while, I felt… happy.

Maybe Mandy was right. Maybe I was capable of moving on quickly. Maybe tonight would belong to just the two of us.

"Hey, hurry up, princess!" I called out playfully as I leaned against my car.

Georgia was just about to cross the street when—

[Ding!]

[New task entered]

[Task: Save Georgia Wellingtonfrom danger]

[Reward: $3,500,000]

My heart stopped.

What?

I reread the screen, but the words didn’t change. Save Georgia Wellington from danger? What danger?

She was right in front of me, laughing, carefree.

Then I heard it.

The screeching tires.

A luxury car barreling down the road at full speed.

Right toward her.

"Georgia!" I screamed.

    Dully's POV I could see the rage in his eyes. The anger, and I knew it wasn't Damain anymore. The system was slowly taking hold of him. This was bigger than I had thought. Even the school authorities cannot do anything to stop him or any of us now. It was left to me and Fred to make sure Damian stopped. But the question I kept asking myself was, what do I need to do to stop him? Was killing him the only way? The dean looked at both of us and laughed. "You know, your father never told me you were a twin, Damian." Was this the plan all along? To make you both disrupt the school's progress? Ever since you got in here, it has been one problem upon another." "And you collected our money. He made it worthwhile for you, didn't he?" "Damian said, flashing a set of white teeth at the Dean. "You can either let us go, or I am going to do far more than we did across the field." "Is that a threat, little boy?" The dean said in anger. Damian stood up gently, his gaze locked on the dean, who

    "Did you see that?" "How is that even possible?" "Is this even real?" "I saw him push waves back at him." "What the hell is going on with those two?" Are they even real?" Dully cleaned the blood on his lips with the back of his hand. "Do you think you can win?" You think you can hide under the dark system for long?" he said breathlessly. "And you, brother, why are you doing this?" We don't have to be enemies. Fred is our enemy. He is the one trying to come between us." Damian said, gasping for breath. Damian's eyes turned towards me, and I could see the venom in them. "No, he is the only reason I am standing here alive, and if you think I am going to turn on him, then you are a fool!" Dully shouted angrily. I looked at the both of them, and then I realized that maybe I don't even have to lift a finger to take Damain down. Maybe all I had to do was pitch them against each other and let Dully kick his ass. They were about to clash again when I saw the school authorities coming.

    FEDERICK'S POV I knew Dully was my jackpot. I was not sure if it was going to be a surprise to Damain but I definitely knew the studies were going to be hit to the core. " Wait?" " What the hell just happened?" " Are they twin?" One of the students said out loud. " I can't believe this. They look almost identical." Another said " That is because they are a twin dummy." Damian looled at me and back at Dully who was walking into the feild majestically. " I am sure you must be delighted to rekindled old love with your brother." I said with sacarcsm. " Do you think I was going to challenge you without a backup plan? Do you think I am going to say yes to all your demands?" " I saw him died." Damain said frantically. I knew he was stunned but not too surprised. " Do you think you can take on your brother, Damian?" I said with a smirk on my face. " How come? I saw you die." Damain said walking to meet Dulky across the field. Georgia rushed towards me clinging me

  • chapter one hundred and sixty seven

    FEDERICK'S POV The wind shifted slightly as Damian stared me down, his cronies poised like hounds waiting for a whistle. Ethan smirked, his arms crossed, while Aiden and Axel stood stiff, clearly itching for violence. But it was Georgia’s hand that I felt trembling behind me; her face was visibly showing that she was scared and anxious of what was going to happen next. I had to stall.Fighting Damian right inside the school was going to be a stupid move. “I’m not giving you anything, Damian,” I said, my voice steady. “You should know by now—I don’t make deals with snakes. And like I said, I am not going to be involved in trying to take down anyone or anything. If you want to go on a suicide mission, then you do it yourself and leave me the hell out of it." His eyes darkened, the smirk sliding from his face like a curtain drawn before the storm.“Wrong choice,” he said coldly.He snapped his fingers.I braced myself, expecting an ambush. But instead, something worse happened—Georg

  • chapter one hundred and sixty six

    Federick's POV Revenge. Hatred. Blood. Everything was getting to me at once, and Damain was at the center of it all. The thought of getting to see Georgia's father never crossed my mind. Taking down the dark system was the only thing on my mind, and of course, I now had Dully by my side. I was seated under the sycamore tree when I looked up to see Georgia walking towards me. A smile was visibly plastered over my face. I haven't seen her in days. "Don't you miss me?" She said playfully as she kissed me softly on the lips. "And why would you say that?" I said, smiling. "You tell me." No calls, no text messages, and you really miss me?" Georgia said, stealing a quick glance at me. "I am sorry about that, but there was something I needed to take care of." "Damian, right?" Georgia asked, and I nodded. I looked at her, and for a moment I pondered if I should talk to her about the system or not. "You look like you have something on your mind." Care to share?"

    DULLY'S POVThe walls cracked beneath my fists, flakes of concrete falling like snow around my boots. The pain lanced through my knuckles, grounding me. I welcomed it. Needed it. Because in a few minutes, I would be stepping into a ring where hesitation meant death.It wasn't my first time though but talking to Fred made me realise I was a man without purpose. Now I had one.It was to take out Damain or still make him see the reason why he needed to stop the bizzare act and behaviour. I stood there in the locker room, the lights flickering above me like they were unsure whether to expose me or hide what I was becoming. My breath was steady, but something shifted inside me. A pull. A pulse. Like the system was stirring.I remembered Fred telling me I needed to bond with the system but is it now?I was a newbie to all of this but still I wanted to be like the both of two. Fast, strong and calculative. [ DING ! ][SYSTEM SYNC: 74%][WARNING: INCOMPLETE BOND. INEFFICIENCY IN STRENGTH
