Brienne, in addition to the insults, slams the door against Wenton's face. From inside of her apartment, she threatens to call the cops on him and his friends if they don't go away before she comes out. "I never want to see you again!" She shouts. 

Wenton's friends who had come with him shrug their shoulders in disbelief. They had always seen how Brienne treated their friend with love and respect, they always say that both of them would make good partners only for them to be disappointed in this way. It's a double disappointment for Wenton and them. 

"I can't believe she only loved you for who you were and who she hoped you would become!" Levi says. 

"Let's go guys, Wenton I would say don't be sad, rather be glad that she has shown you her true intention so early, that's not the type of woman you should share your future success with." Gabriel cuts in. 

"She's not worth dying for, let her go and find someone that has already made it and become a gold-digger. " Anthony came in. All of his friends got something to say in this but despite all these, Wenton still finds himself thinking about Brienne even after getting into his car. For fifteen good minutes, he couldn't start the car but just sat there in the driver's seat supporting his chin with his hand lost in thoughts. The pressure from the rest has no impact on him right now. 

"What can I do to make her come back to me right now?" He begins to think of every possible idea, but none comes to mind. His love for her was so deep, it couldn't be comprehended but he had always chosen to keep it silent, but showed it in actions which he did through buying an expensive iPhone, gifts and other things, even giving her lots of money. Aside from the material elements of his love, he always made sure that Brienne never lacked his affectionate companionship, he always had quality time for her, good communication and all those things a guy needs to give to his girlfriend. All these were because he was working and was paid higher than the rest because of his position, now his salary as a normal player which he would be receiving any time soon wouldn't be enough for all of that, Brienne knows this. 

Two weeks left and he is going to have his fate decided, whether he is going to end up playing for his dream club or some clubs of good worth even not as high as he dreamt of, or he would end up not having a club to continue his career with. Finally with the help of his friends, he is able to let go of the situation only a slightest bit and drives out of Brienne’s premises promising himself to work on the matter before it gets too late. 

Two weeks later, nothing tangible has come to his mind to do and he is left frustrated, not knowing what to do. A week ago, the players from his team that were going to feature in the match in which the foreign scouts would be present were selected and as he thought, his name was not included. It had been like a dream to him until this moment, he knew he was going to leave the club without anything. Sporting Stars FC is just a trial club players who graduate from the real academy play for, for the meantime, it has a limited time depending on the management's decision for that particular year. After they pass out of this club, they get to play for real professional clubs. 

There was no miracle for him again, he already knew his fate. Now his best friend, Imikah Donn was selected two days ago by the foreign scouts for Alla Madrid, the club he had dreamt to play for, it was a heavy blow to him. He was happy for his friend but he wasn't truly happy as he wasn't happy for himself. They had always walked together right from when they entered the Academy and even after he was stripped of his captaincy, both hoped to leave the club and go to play for Real Madrid but now he was going to leave him behind. 

They had a limited time to part because once everything is done, Imikah would be leaving and he doesn't know when they will get to see each other again, it might be never. He decided to go pay his best friend one last visit before he leaves for Spain. He would ask him not to forget him in life, though fate turned against him, they would still be friends. He isn't sure of how this will go after Imikah leaves but he just got to try his luck, who knows he might return to reward him as a loyal friend one day. 

Upon reaching his house, Imikah welcomes him. His family already knows about him, so he didn't really have to introduce him to anyone. They came out to greet him as well as console him on what happened. Imikah had told them about it. After they were done and each returned to their rooms, Wenton and Imikah sat down together to discuss. 

"I think I'm going to quit football for life and go into some small business or something else." Wenton tells his friend. Imikah, who never hoped to hear this from him. He opens his mouth wide in shock. 

"What's wrong, why are you going to quit after all these years and the dream?" 

He smirks. "You are playing ignorant, haven't you seen what has happened to me? How would I get to play in one of the big-time clubs, there is no need of persisting. Your future is certain, mine has already crumbled. There is nothing to hope for again!" He lowers his face to the ground staring at it in frustration. 

"You can't just be quick to make decisions, you never can tell what might happen between now and the future." 

"No, I know you want to make me feel better, that's why you are saying that. Since you feel I'm not correct in what I'm saying, tell me a way I would get to play for a club like Alla Madrid when I'll be passing out from this club without recommendation or scout selection. "

"You can play for the National team. Featuring in the Nation's League is another way of being noticed by a big club." Imikah suggests with so much confidence which amuses Wenton, he laughs as a result. 

"Tell me how I'm going to get in there, it also needs recommendation from your previous coach, everything needs the right connection. You can't just go and play anywhere like that." He stresses out to his friend because it seems he is not getting the whole thing. 

"I can help you with this!" 

Prior to this, Wenton laughs inside him. How is this possible, who does he even know there? He hasn't heard of him talking about anyone in the Senior National Team before.

    When the time for the shopping approaches, they all get inside the coaster waiting for them outside, with Wenton still chatting with Imikah. They have a lot to talk about especially their future as club footballers, Imikah just can't stop wishing Wenton would come to play for Alla Madrid."I really need you here, Spain is boring without you. I was thinking we would go together." "Let's watch how this match we will soon play goes, as the captain, I'll get into the eyes of many clubs which I believe Alla Madrid must be among." "Oh yeah! The next thing for you to do is try your very best at the match, you know the aliens wouldn't make it easy for you guys because it's their chance to dominate the world they have always been dreaming of for thousands of ages. You also need to try your best, I believe that your system would not fail you most especially as you are diligent in performing your tasks and training privately." "Yeah, I believe this as well. I will win, we will win, my system

    "I summoned all of you here to inform you of the forthcoming Aliens-Humans Soccer Players introduction. It's a ceremony that would be held at the Emerald's International Theatre, we would have to take a flight there. This ceremony is gonna make the forthcoming combative match official. As you see, many people do not know what's going on. It would be streamed live and I'd scheduled for the day after tomorrow, you guys got to be prepared….. "Wenton's system plays back the statement of Coach Ben as he wakes up early in the morning the next day. It prompted him to get up so early so that he could begin his training before 8 AM where the players would be going shopping at the five star fashion boutique in town. Ben had already told them about this. Since he doesn't want to miss any day of personal training, he puts on his kit, gets his ball from the drawer and goes down to the private training pitch he was training yesterday. He is supposed to have some fear of attack after yesterday's i

    Ben pressures the two players left behind after the three fell to the ground confessing what happened, at least he needs to hear from both of them before he moves on to confirm from the CCTV. After this, the next person he directs his question to is Wenton but winks at him with a gaze at his wrist on which he wears his invisible system watch. Don't in any way talk about your system! He understands this quickly and nods his head slightly to avoid suspicions from his teammates who are watching both of them with the two assistant coaches. He doesn't want them to know that he and Ben are secretly communicating. "I was training privately, after some minutes into my training, I felt a thick little ball like a stone hit me and it sank right into my head and skull. I know you might not believe it but I'll call on you to check the CCTV after this to confirm. It was unbelievable when I felt the stone going up, and right out of my head. When I lifted my head to check if I had blood or a gap

    The announcement of Wenton as the captain in the forthcoming match between the humans and the aliens came as a surprise to many, they thought a captain would be the eldest or one of the oldest in the team so as to command respect. It was thought that Wenton would make the Vice-captain but as it stands, Ben has already declared that he has no need for a vice-captain making all the glory go to Wenton. A good number are happy that they have a talented player to help them, nothing like age matters to them so far as he knows what he is doing and they plan to cooperate with him for success. After the meeting, while others return to the garden to spend some fun time together, some go back to the hostel to rest ahead of their training session in the evening. Wenton didn't want anything like rest, especially for the time being. He might schedule a two-hour sleep for himself before the time of the training and would have a longer sleep at night. For now, he had to get personally prepared. His

    "I've finally gotten over Maria to face my career, you said that I wasn't gonna be able to. Ta-dah…." He makes a sarcastic sound to show that what Imikah said hasn't come true. Only God knows how excited he is right now, he has been free from the shackles of love which seems to have held him bound without mercy. "I'm glad you have because it's not easy, I can tell you from experience. It hurts so much to love someone but you miss the person before you get to speak to her and tell her what you want. There was a time I kind of was burdened with guilt, it took two years for me to finally let go. I don't know how I did it but I did it.""Ahhhh! So you thought mine was going to be worse like your own?" Wenton places so much emphasis in saying, he can't believe that his best friend passed through this without him knowing. "You're such a strong guy!" "Don't laugh at me please," Imikah chuckles. "How am I strong when I can't let go of a girl I loved and lost before I could get to speak to h

    "Well, she has been transferred to another football base, which I wouldn't tell you about." "Why?" His jaw drops in shock, he doesn't find a reason Celine should be trying to sever their budding feelings to die each other. Ben who is his coach has reasons as he wants him to concentrate but she doesn't have. To her side, Celine believes that Maria would never concentrate and might lose interest in her job with time if she continues with seeing Wenton. She can't let this happen, she has seen it from afar. Maria is one of the best chefs the team and football world has, it would be a great loss to let her go, not like she is being held captive but she loves her job and she is paid handsomely. All these explanations she made in her mind before saying it out to the hearing of Wenton. He stands there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, if he had known where she was, he would have gone there that same day, particularly as he is now aware that she loves him too. It would have been a little
