The final call left Bryan feeling gloomy, since his mind is full of thoughts, "Did I make a mistake by trusting her? I shouldn’t have trusted anyone, especially after all the times I’ve been betrayed by everyone, how could I be so foolish enough to trust her?" Just as Bryan was about to give up thinking Mirabel has betrayed him, someone grabbed his hand, "I’m sorry," said Mirabel being breathless due to running fast, "I’m sorry for being late."Without speaking further, Bryan took Mirabel to the registration counter and checked off both their names at the last possible minute, somehow they had secured their places in the event as participants.Walking away from the registration counter, Bryan scolded Mirabel about her careless behaviour, "Don’t you have any sense of time? I told you to come on time, it's not something for you to be careless as you wish, if you couldn’t make it, you should’ve at least told me, thanks to you, I'm worried as hell.""I’m sorry," Mirabel apologized, lower
Bryan and Mirabel's hearts were racing as they anxiously awaited the results, their nervousness is quite evident on their facial expression, finally, the most awaited announcement came, "Mirabel and Bryan." Both of them looked extremely happy on making into the second round, before the second round, they headed to a nearby seating area to tend to Bryan's injured leg. Ronald approached them just as Mirabel rushed off to fetch a first aid kit for Bryan, "Your suspicion was right," Ronald said with a disgusted look, "They used soft wires for themselves and harsh wires for the rest, this is why few are injured badly, that's how you also got injured, thankfully not serious, I overheard them talking, I never knew they would be this cruel." "They're more cruel than you can imagine" Bryan replied asking him to be alert, "I suspected this, so let's stick to our original plan, I'll leave everything to you," Ronald nodded in agreement. Mirabel returned with the first aid kit and began treatin
The announcement stunned everyone, spectators, even Ronald and Mirabel, except Bryan, who stood calmly as if he had expected it before only, Mirabel sighed in frustration, "We worked so hard to get here, how can they say we cheated and disqualified us? I don't find it acceptable.""Are you going to give up now?" Bryan glanced at her with a questioning look, to which Mirabel replied, "No way, I'll never give up.""Then let's go," Bryan said, walking away without explaining making her more curious with his silence, Mirabel tried to ask where they were going, but Bryan didn't answer, he went straight to Ronald and asked, "Did you do what I asked?""HD quality," Ronald replied, showing him the mobile, Bryan checked it and nodded with a smile before going directly to the announcement area, with Ronald and Mirabel following.As they walked behind Bryan, Mirabel tried to question Ronald about Bryan's weird behaviour sometimes, "Why doesn't he ever answer our questions?"Ronald sighed equally
In the next announcement, as promised, Bryan and Mirabel's names were on the list for the final round along with an apology for earlier misunderstanding. Due to the elimination of two couples and the cheating that had occurred in the previous rounds, surprisingly all couples who participated in the first and second rounds, even those who didn't qualify initially, were allowed to compete in the final round. So there's a tougher competition than expected for Bryan and Mirabel to win the third round. Mirabel stretched her arms being tired of straining her body, "This is exhausting, I never imagined participating in something like this." Bryan chuckled while teasing her, "No wonder you're so lazy." "Who are you calling lazy?" Mirabel reacted back, ready to argue with him, "Who exactly did you call lazy?" Bryan laughed at her childish argument, even he didn't understand how he was feeling uncomfortable around her despite the fact, they barely knew each other. But their attention was
"Bryannnnn!" Mirabel's loud scream echoed by the entire surroundings, even Ronald from afar was startled for a minute, all the spectators gasped out of fear that Bryan had fallen on the thorns because of rope being cut off, but Bryan managed to lean forward, grabbing the rope just in time using his tactics.Mirabel sighed in relief, watching Bryan steadying himself without any kind of injuries, stretching his body back, he reached out, feeling for the flag. His fingers brushed the fabric, and he grabbed it in one go without letting it to slip away from his grip,"Got it!" He shouted, pulling off his blindfold.Mirabel cheered in happiness, their teamwork and trust shining through their success, Bryan walked towards her, and she rushed to hug him, both of them overjoyed about winning and hugged each other in happiness."We did it," Mirabel said, taking the flag into her hands, still in disbelief despite watching Bryan coming back and even though the flag is still in her hands everything
Bryan's expression shocked Ronald and Mirabel as they checked the envelope. It only had $2,000, Ronald can't help but to ask, "If there's only $2,000, where's the rest of the $8,000?" Bryan showed them the vouchers and dinner coupons, and both Ronald and Mirabel burst into laughter watching the coupons and vouchers."What the" Bryan sighed, cursing himself under his breath for not remembering the cash prize details clearly from his previous life. All he remembered was the huge cash prize, the winner, and how they cheated, he didn't know about this twist which made him to fall in the trap, "No wonder those guys threw the envelope away. What a fool I am!" He thought with a frown on his face.Ronald took the $2,000, still laughing at the efforts of Bryan, "I don't think this is a small amount, but dude, you worked so hard for this is hilarious," he said, Mirabel chuckled too at the way Ronald teased Bryan, to which Bryan rolled his eyes, "Let it be, I'm fine," "You're fine?" Mirabel and
Bryan's question made Ronald think for a minute, "I felt the same way, but I thought that if they stopped her, they might stop you from participating altogether, right? I mean rather than cheating or competing against you, they might've thought that stopping you totally from participating would be easy right?"Bryan nodded agreeing with Ronald, "You're not wrong, umm do you think if we are being close to her will get her into trouble?" Bryan was worried about dragging Mirabel into their problems, because of today's incident."Just because of that, we can't abandon her," Ronald replied, though he is worried about her just like Bryan, he is concerned too, "She's too naive to handle everything alone. It's better if someone is there to support and protect her, she only requested for friendship, it's not that hard for us to be friends with her, it's not like it would cost us something, let's not care about anything, as long as we are fine with each other."Bryan agreed but still worried ab
"Only $100,000?" Bryan asked, still in disbelief about the amount she mentioned earlier, Mirabel nodded with an innocent expression, as she didn't notice Bryan being in disbelief, "Yes, I get only $100,000 as pocket money each month, if you need more, we'll have to wait."Bryan whispered to Ronald in confusion, "Is she crazy to think that amount is small, or does she think I need more?"Ronald was too shocked to respond, so he simply stared at his face with a blank expression, while Mirabel asked Bryan trying to know what they're discussing so secretly, "Isn't it enough?"Bryan sighed while rubbing his temples, "What planet are you from to ask if $100,000 is enough?"Mirabel rolled her eyes knowing Bryan is teasing her as usual, Bryan continued, "It's more than enough, didn’t you see us working hard for just $10,000? Now you think the amount you have is less?"Hearing this, Mirabel looked happy since her money will be helpful to Bryan and immediately handed him the card, "Then use it.
