Ricco was stunned, his jaw nearly touching the floor from the overwhelming shock of seeing Theo standing there. It was like seeing a ghost appear. Just a couple of hours ago, he had said he was on the verge of death, and now he was alive and speaking beneath the threshold of his private office door.

Jack’s experience, however, was very different. The moment he saw Theo, the millionaire system went completely haywire and began sending strange information that originated from Theo.

    Hillary ran to her room and locked herself in. She shut the door with force and speed. As she threw herself onto the bed, all she could regret was ever exchanging words with Jack Stanton. In that moment, she hated him with all her heart, and wished Jack were dead, so he could never again interfere with her and Ricco's happiness.Many thoughts were racing through Hillary's mind at that moment. She even considered never leaving that room again, just to make Ricco happy, so that he could finally love her the way she had always dreamed of.Only her pillows and the shadows within that lonely room bore witness to the promises Hillary made to herself. All of it, for the sole purpose of winning Ricco Walton’s heart, as it was meant to be.Her door suddenly began to knock. Someone on the other side wanted to come in.

She collapsed onto her bed and began to cry in despair. She couldn’t believe something like this was happening just hours before her big wedding with Ricco.She just lay there, staring at the ceiling, waiting for someone to come help her.A couple of hours passed, and finally, Hillary heard footsteps in the hallway. Several people were coming directly toward the room where she had locked herself in.They started knocking on her door with loud bangs that seemed strong enough to knock it off its hinges.“Hillary?” a woman’s voice called.“We need to fit your dress, darl

    The wedding day arrived quickly. It was a cool morning with radiant sunshine. That morning began with the roar of several fighter jets flying very low over the mansion.Ricco Walton had paid for those private jets to fly over the Walton mansion and leave a trail of white smoke as a tribute to the marital union that would take place that day.The wedding designers and organizers were left completely deaf due to the powerful sound of the turbines as they passed.Guests began arriving one by one as the hours went by. And those guests were met with a decoration like no other. That afternoon, the Walton mansion looked more elegant than ever. Just as Ricco had requested, white dominated everything—flowers, table decorations, and the trimmed hedges.Theo Walton wore an elegant gray suit that made him look very sharp.

    “Ricco Walton, do you take Hillary Lombardini as your wife?” the priest asked to conclude the ceremony.“Yes, I do,” Ricco replied coldly.“In that case, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife,” the priest proclaimed. “You may kiss the bride.”Ricco cleared his throat and adjusted his tie. Then he approached Hillary, leaning slightly forward to kiss her. However, that kiss was anything but romantic. Ricco merely brushed his lips against Hillary’s, then returned to his normal posture so the guests could begin applauding.All the guests whispered and commented on Hillary’s strange condition, but no one was foolish enough to speak a single word about it. Not even the press dared to say anything about the bride in the wheelchair. It was as if no one could notice she was disabled.The ceremony ended amid applause and congratulations from the guests. It was now time for the celebration. Everyone was ready to dance a little and enjoy the exquisite food prepared by th

    Jack ran to reach Hillary’s room before anyone could see him. Every so often, he turned around to make sure no one was following him.The hallway leading to Hillary’s room was very dark and lonely. It felt like he was walking into a dungeon in some medieval castle.He finally reached Hillary’s room and knocked hard so he would be heard.“Hillary?”There were a few seconds of silence, and Jack knocked again with his hand.“Hillary... it’s Jack,” he whispered next to the door.“I recognized your voice the first time. It’s obvious I don’t want to open the door... Go away!” Hillary shouted from inside the room without opening.“Please, Hillary. I have something very important to tell you about Ricco.”Those words turned out to be magical. The sound of the lock opening from the inside came quickly.

He was walking straight to Kloe’s house and took the opportunity to check his social media. Detective Brooks's name was trending, as he was an old-time hero being honored throughout the city.He put his phone in his pocket and got ready to jump over the wooden fence surrounding Kloe’s house. He climbed up and jumped, landing on the garden lawn while holding a bag in his hand. The bag was plastic and protected the clothes inside.He started looking for small rocks all over the garden and began throwing them at the second-floor window. That was the window to Kloe’s bedroom. So it didn’t take long for her to open it.“Rex?” whispered Kloe, trying not to let her parents hear her.“Are you masturbating?” joked Rex.“Shut up, you idiot!

Are you okay?” her mother called from the kitchen after hearing the thud.“Yes, Mom!” Kloe replied from the floor. “I’m a mess,” she whispered to herself.“Rex just got here!” her mother announced.“That’s fine, Mom.

Home sweet home!” said Detective Stranger, pushing Jack’s wheelchair.“It’s... It’s...

He was very different from Detective Brooks of 50 years ago.The city had changed a lot in those 50 years. There were many more buildings, and the cars were far more advanced and high-tech.

    “My father? What could you possibly know about my father?” Jack asked with suspicion.“Carl Stanton is the one who locked us in this place,” Josh confessed.“Just put that spoon down and let’s talk for a bit,” Bob requested.Jack finally felt curious about what those old men were saying. Clearly, they weren’t crazy as he had thought. They weren’t deranged killers like the media had made the world believe.He slowly lowered the spoon and decided to trust those three complete strangers he had never seen before.“Good heavens,” Aaron exclaimed.“I’m too old for this,” said Bob, placing a hand on his chest in relief.“Who are you? And how did you end up locked in this place?” Jack asked, eager to get to the bottom of the mystery.“We’ve got a lot to talk about, kid. We’d better head to the garden,” Josh said kindly.Jack agreed and left the bathroom with the three men, walking to the gardens to sit and talk calmly.“I’m glad you didn’t kill us,” Josh said as he sat down.“You wouldn’t hav

    The next day, the door opened and a nurse named Dick, according to his badge, entered the room. He was an overweight teenager in a foul mood, constantly showing his anger through arched eyebrows and a hateful stare.“Bath time,” said Dick, clearly annoyed.Dick hated his job, but he couldn’t quit. It was the only way to pay for his studies.“I could swear I heard you couldn’t walk,” Dick said when he saw Jack get out of bed on his own.Jack stood in the middle of the room, waiting for Dick to make a move to try to bathe him.Dick tried to grab Jack, but Jack quickly stepped aside. A slight turn was all it took to dodge the out-of-shape overweight teen.“Don’t move. I have to take you to the showers,” insisted Dick.“You and how many more?” Jack asked, speaking in a muffled voice through the muzzle that completely covered his mouth.Dick stepped back slightly to press his manual alarm.

    The electric shocks had caused a decline in Jack. They had made him submissive and less aggressive. Since he arrived he was receiving an electric attack every time he raised his voice. It caused him to stop fighting and now he just obeyed every order Dr. Helix gave him to avoid further suffering. "Sit down!" said Dr. Helix pointing to a gurney where he wanted Jack to sit. Detective Brooks entered the office to be present that morning for the daily therapy Jack was to face. Jack sat submissively and quietly while dressed in a blue clinical gown.
