Ethan looked at Mr. Reynolds. "We've been here before, and we know how that turned out," he said sarcastically. "Turned out?" I asked, looking at him. "If I remember correctly, I won, and you lost." I stared directly into Ethan's eyes. "I got your girlfriend, remember? What else are you willing to bet this time?" Ethan growled as he held Fiona's hand. Marcus looked at me before pulling me aside. "Don't let him get to you like this. We can just walk away from all of this." Marcus's expression became serious. "Do you know my father gave up his life for you? I would hate for his sacrifice to be thrown away over something petty." "I've got this, Marcus. Just follow my lead and trust me." I walked back toward Ethan. "I'm sure your father will be happy to hear this." I folded my arms. "I'll join hands with your family and merge the company with the Mathews if you win." Ethan's eyes widened slightly. "And what about you? What are you going to give me if I win?" I asked, rais

The school immediately fell silent when the sleek black car drove into the compound.Everyone was eager to see me again after years of believing I was gone.The news had been that I was dead.Yet now, he was alive."Is he some kind of Jesus?""What do you mean?""He is just lucky the bullet only grazed him."Everyone had something to say about meI was about to step out of the car when Marcus held me back."Aren't you going to tell me where you've been all this while?"I looked at him."Listen, Marcus. This is just the beginning of our battle, and we need to be ready for whatever is coming. I know I have a lot to explain, but first, we need to make it through today."I adjusted my suit."I need to see Mr. Reynolds and get my graduation form. It is time for us to venture into a new world."Zeek knocked gently on the glass."We need to move now, Jase," he said, standing upright as he guarded the car.Marcus looked at him in surprise. "He calls you by your name now?""Like I said, it's a

"What are you going to do about it?" Henry asked, glaring at me angrily."I'm not here to exchange words with you. I'm here to give orders," I said authoritatively.Marcus looked at me with awe."Give me orders?" Henry roared. "And who the hell do you think you are?"I stepped forward."I am Jason Carter, the last son of Richard Carter. And as of today, I am demoting you to the position of a security guard."Silence fell over the entire boardroom.The staff members and board members looked at one another in disbelief."Can he really do that?""The Almighty Henry Carter reduced to a security guard?""He's bluffing."The sound of camera shutters filled the room as Henry and I stared at each other."Am I talking here?" I snapped.The board members immediately fell silent."I just said I want this man standing in front of me demoted."Mr. Nicholas stepped forward."Right away, Mr. Jason. We'll begin the necessary paperwork for his demotion."I reached into my pocket and pulled out a handk

Marcus couldn't take his eyes off the person standing right in front of him."This is impossible!" Ethan shouted as he stared at the young man dressed in a black suit.I looked different.I looked more mature, more handsome, and more confident. The perfectly tailored suit clung to my well-built body, making it almost impossible for anyone to believe that this was the same boy they had known months ago."Isn't that...?""Yes, he is.""Look at how manly he looks.""I thought he was dead."Most of the students stood frozen in awe as I stepped out of the black SUV.The cameramen and women immediately rushed toward me. The loud shutters of their cameras filled the air as they bombarded me with questions and begged him for an interview."Am I seeing things?" Marcus murmured to himself.He had dreamed about me coming back to life countless times.Perhaps this was another dream.But then I looked directly at him.Marcus froze.I could see the disbelief written all over Marcus's face.I knew
Chapter 93
[ Months Later ]The news of my death was everywhere.Some students said I deserved it, while others called me an opportunist who had wanted to become part of the Carter family at all costs.Eventually, the Carter family was forced to move on with the news of my death. Henry Carter, alongside the rest of the family, took charge of the family business, while Fiona was given her share.The Mathews were also brought into the Carter family's business, with Henry taking control of the merger.Fiona and Ethan became a couple, and they quickly became feared on campus. They bullied countless students, with Mr. Reynolds always there to protect them whenever they got into trouble.Marcus, on the other hand, returned to being a loner on campus.He occasionally tried to defend weaker students, but there was only so much he could do when the majority always stood against him.He couldn't protect them for long.Zeek had completely gone off the grid.He stopped talking to Marcus and stopped giving h

"Don't make me do this," Zeek said, looking at Marcus, whose expression made it clear that he was about to do something stupid."Your father knew what he was getting into the moment he answered your distress call. Don't you find it strange that he came all the way back home to help?" Zeek shouted at Marcus. "You can't listen to that bastard!""What would you do if it were your father?" Marcus asked angrily."That's right, Marcus. Get me Jason, and your father gets to live," Sniper said again.But Zeek was faster than Marcus.He charged toward him and struck him hard on the head.Marcus collapsed to the floor, losing consciousness instantly.Zeek quickly carried both Marcus and Jason into the car. He had barely started driving away from the mansion when a stray bullet struck him."I guess your son made his choice," Sniper said, looking at George.He raised his gun and shot George in the head.Zeek occasionally groaned in pain as he drove, his hands trembling around the steering wheel.
