“Just a little worried since you’re acting a bit different from when we first met. Though, if you don’t mind.. can I ask you something?” Adrian asked.

Letty shrugged, “Go on. Don’t ask me out though, we’re not that close yet.”

Adrian gave her a sideways glance before speaking, “My gpa is 2.0 and I looked at multiple universities but I can’t really find anything good. Do you have any recommendations for one that accepts anyone as long as they pay?”

“Well, there’s the University of Urizona. The prices range but for most courses, it’s 40,000 to 50,000 a year.”

“That’s pretty close to where I live…” Adrian muttered as he thought about it and after a while, he hesitated slightly.

Letty noticed this and chuckled, “Just ask, I won’t judge.”

“Well, is there a way I can not pay taxes after paying my fees? I don’t wanna get involved in taxes while I’m studying.”

“You don’t pay taxes when you pay for your education.” she said and frowned slightly as she looked at him, “Just tell me what’s on your mind without any filters and I should be able to help you out. I might be young but I know a lot about taxes and being efficient with money.”

Hearing this, Adrian thought about his situation and his system before he explained part of his problems without mentioning anything about the money multiplier system of his.

“So you’re getting paid in cash and this income is coming through an anonymous person. Right, if you deposit a huge amount in your bank, it’ll be noticed.” she said softly as she took out her phone and began going through her contacts.

A minute later, she said, “I know the Director of Admissions in University of Urizona and he’s a pretty greedy man. Easy to bribe, knows how to keep secrets and he’s someone who is extremely crafty when it comes to handling money.

“If you give him fifty thousand, he’ll be able to provide you with a full scholarship. Problem solved right?”

Adrian nodded, “Yes, thanks a lot. I’ll go meet him once I accumulate enough money.”

He didn’t care about what would happen after that since he would get access to crypto through his system. With crypto in his arsenal, it was easier to manage his money.

A few minutes later, he parked the car in the hotel’s parking lot and opened the door for her.

Letty got out and pulled out a neat stack of hundred dollar bills before giving them to Adrian.

“Since you weren’t boring, I’m paying you double. Give me a text once you get into the university.” she said and began walking towards the hotel.

Adrian stared at the keys in his hands for a moment before running over to her and giving them back.

Once that was done, he headed to his car and drove to the supermarket in a hurry before spending the thousand dollars on even more card packs.

With almost all of his money spent, he drove back to the hotel and headed straight to his room with all the cards he had bought.

The clock struck twelve and Adrian glanced at the usual notification.

Five thousand to Ten thousand dollars.

With that done, he began ripping open the card packs one by one, which took him almost thirty minutes thanks to the sheer number of packs he had bought.

“Now… how do I know their value?” he muttered as he took out his beaten up phone and went through the internet until he found a legitimate website that had pretty accurate information on each and every card.

With the calculator open, he slowly began doing his calculations with the help of the website’s database until he made a list of all his cards and their values in his phone’s notepad.

This one took even longer, almost 10 whole hours and by the time he was done, it was almost noon.

Tired and sleep deprived, he drove out and deposited 1260 dollars in his bank before sending it to the rental shop’s account.

With his car rental extended to 7 more days, he spent the rest of his money on more cards and went to bed.

His money doubled from 10,000 to 20,000 and that was when he began to notice a problem. There weren’t enough cards in a single supermarket anymore.

He stared at the 12,000 dollars he still had and shook his head, “I have way too much money.”

The rest was spent on more cards but this time, from multiple other supermarkets before Adrian moved to a different city so he could buy even more cards.

He did it for two more days, tiring himself out to the extreme. Spending too much money in a single place would only arouse suspicion, so he ended up visiting multiple supermarkets to keep himself safer.

Midnight came quick but Adrian was way too tired to do much. All he could do, was smile when he saw the notification.

The one thing that made him happy.

Money Spent: 40,000 Dollars

Ding! You have received 80,000 Dollars.

Please select your mode of payment.

1. Cash

    

2. Bank Account

    

3. Others

    

“Cash…” he muttered before closing his eyes.

The next morning, he woke up around ten in the morning before sending Letty a text.

Adrian Wolfe: Do you know someone who sells jewellery or gold for cash?

Almost immediately, he got a reply.

Letty Garcia: Yes, multiple. But if you don’t want anyone to know your name and you wish to be completely out of the government’s radar, there are a few names.

Letty Garcia: Best way would be to buy gold bullion. You’ll need to pay a bit more than market price since the seller is taking the risk instead of you.

Adrian Wolfe: I have 80,000.

Letty Garcia: …

Letty Garcia: What?! Wait, if you had that much money… why did you even work for me for a mere 500 dollars?

Adrian ignored her question completely.

Adrian Wolfe: Send me the location.

Letty Garcia: Also, forget what happened that night. I was slightly drunk and I don’t handle alcohol well.

Adrian Wolfe: Okay.

Letty Garcia has shared a link.

Letty Garcia: You owe me, Adrian. I’ll think of something you can do for me later. See ya.

“I’m busy…” Adrian muttered as he sent her the same text and tossed his phone aside.

“Once I’m back, I’ll open up all the card packs.”

  • 182. Equal Treatment

    Two weeks later. Adrian sat in the high-back executive chair, his posture rigid and his eyes clouded with a weary sort of annoyance. Across the desk, Letty was trembling, her face flushed with a rare, hot anger that made her look more like a cornered soldier than a CEO. Beside her, Aira sat with her head slightly bowed, her expression a mask of pure helplessness as she caught the crossfire between the two people she loved most."You promised, Adrian," Letty snapped, her voice rising an octave as she slammed a hand onto the mahogany surface. "You sat right there two weeks ago and said we were official. You said you were done with the brooding and the secrets. You said you would treat us both equally. So tell me, why is it that when the real stakes come out, I’m the one being left behind like a trophy on a shelf?"Adrian rubbed his temples, his voice flat and controlled. "Letty, this isn't about equality. It’s about survival. This isn't a business trip where I’m choosing a favorite com

  • 181. Temporary Peace

    He let out a long, weary sigh that seemed to drain the last of his energy. He sat up slowly, and walked over to the window. He leaned his forehead against the cool glass, staring out at the sky. The horizon was a hazy blue, but he didn't even pay any attention to the streets, the towering buildings, or the ant-like cars crawling below. His world was currently limited to the four walls of the penthouse and the two women waiting on the other side of his door."I can't keep doing this," he said, his breath fogging the glass. "I’ve been hiding in here trying to solve an equation that doesn't have a fixed answer. I’m acting like a coward, and they deserve better than a coward."He straightened his back, his eyes finally regaining a spark of his old, decisive self, "I guess I’ll have to talk to them about this," he muttered, turning away from the window. "I can't just assume stuff based on the information I have, which is lacking. I need to know what they are actually willing to face. Not t

  • 180. The Great Dilemma

    He didn't want to wake up a year from now with both of them hating each other and him. That would be a disaster. He needed to know that this was a choice made out of strength, not fear of losing him. And he needed to know his own heart. He needed to know if he could truly give enough of himself to two different people.At the end of his long session in the bath, the water had started to get lukewarm. He knew he couldn't stay in there forever. He stood up, the water dripping off his skin as he reached for a towel. He dried himself slowly, his mind still heavy with the weight of the decision.He looked at himself in the mirror. He looked the same as he always did; calm, focused, and steady. But inside, he felt like he was still searching for a signal in a lot of static. He muttered to himself one last time before stepping out of the room. "I can't be irresponsible about this... I need more time to be sure. I won't give them an answer until I'm certain I can follow through."Two weeks ha

  • 179. A Nice Bath

    "No," Sofia whispered, her voice breaking on the single syllable. "I can’t... I just can’t do it, Letty. It hurts so much just to see him with another girl, and I’ve spent every night for weeks trying to kill that feeling."She looked up at Adrian, her eyes filled with a raw, agonizing honesty that seemed to pierce through his calm exterior. "I want to be with you more than anything, Adrian, but I can't imagine myself being happy if I have to compete for your time and your heart."She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but the tears kept coming, fueled by a deep-seated fear of being an afterthought in the life of the man she loved. "I won’t be able to handle the jealousy, and I know myself... I’ll end up hating myself, I’ll hate Letty, I’ll hate Aira, and eventually, I’ll end up hating you too."Before anyone could say a word of comfort or try to reason with her, Sofia reached for the door handle and shoved it open.She scrambled out of the car, her head down as she began to ru

  • 178. Wanted By Two

    Aira’s loud moans turned into desperate, gasping cries, her nimble body completely at his mercy. “Choke me… please choke me again… I love your hand on my throat while you fuck me… don’t stop, Adrian… I’m yours… make me cum again!” she begged loudly, her voice raw and loud between every moan and gasp.He kept her in the air like that for long minutes, pounding her hard and deep, twisting her tits, pinching her nipples until they were swollen and sensitive, then choking her just enough to make her eyes roll back in pleasure. Another orgasm tore through her, then another, her loud screams filling the room as her pussy spasmed and gushed around his cock again and again. Adrian’s own release finally built after two full hours of relentless fucking, his thrusts growing even harder as he growled against her ear, “Cum with me now… let me feel that tight pussy milk every drop out of me.”Aira cried out one last time, her flexible body shaking violently in his arms as she came hard, moaning his

  • 177. A Steamy Night

    The soft light from the bedside lamp in the quiet boutique hotel room felt warm against their skin as Adrian and Aira stepped inside well past midnight, the distant sound of ocean waves still whispering through the half-open window after their long beach trip, sand still clinging lightly to their feet and the salt air heavy on their clothes. Aira moved first with that nimble grace she always carried, her athletic body turning toward him in the small space, her light summer dress hugging the gentle curves of her C-cup breasts, the flat plane of her toned midriff where faint lines of four-pack abs showed just beneath the fabric, and the nice rounded bubble butt that swayed with every playful step she took. She looked cute and hot all at once, her eyes sparkling with charisma as she gave him a teasing smile, clearly ready to push at the long tension that had built between them for the past few days."You know you have been watching me all day on that beach, Adrian. Well, I hope you were
