5 INVITED

The male lead, Alyx Villalias, was an overbearing CEO of a distinguished company. He's the typical type of male lead in stories—adored by many and has power almost over everything. And said that only his brother Alvan can restrain him but unfortunately, they were bound to fall for the same girl.

Alyx always gave Alvan what Alvan wanted. He is his little brother anyways. At first, he let Alvan take Alyana away from him but as the ending closed in, Alyx took Alyana back by simply controlling her life.

They had a sadomasochist kind of relationship, where one was in control and the other one submitted. That was after Alyana discovered that Alyx was the reason behind her sudden stardom, which made her soft and comfortable around him.

On the other hand, the second male lead, who was his only brother, became the antagonist separating him and Alyana. Alvan did everything -- good and bad, just to have Alyanap back. But in return, Alyana loathed him for trying to ruin her reputation. Seeing his brother Alyx happy with the woman he loves, Alvan almost killed Alyana. In the end, Alyx had no other option but to kill Alvan.

"Speaking of Alvan, how was he? Guide, is there any way to prevent him from dying?" Yanarym asked curiously.

Guide-sama: "This is your reality now. You can do everything you want. If you want to change his fate, you may do so."

"Oh... Ah! But I'm not in the position to worry about his problems for him. If I ever have the chance to get close to him, I'll just try to warn him." Yanarym said with enthusiasm. Shortly, her smile turned into a frown.

"I need money! But first, I need to find a job, but I still need money for me to find a job! Ugh, this sucks!" She frustratingly kicked in the air, then stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Fine. I need to fish. All right!" She exclaimed blithely. "It's time to put my beauty to use. Sugar daddy, old or not but good-looking at least, let's go!"

She stood up and reached for a pen and a pad of paper. Just as she had started listing the names of her possible candidates, her phone rang.

"Good... Afternoon, Director Sam!" she cheerfully greeted the caller yet her face showed otherwise. It was only once in a blue moon—no—it was almost impossible for a director to call her like this. What is happening?

"How are you doing, Ms. Yanarym?"

"I'm doing fine, Director Sam. May I ask why you called?" Yanarym politely asked.

"A banquet will be held hosted by Alvan Villalias's family and the whole production team and the cast of 'Victim of Love' will be joining as well." The director on the phone explained. "You are all required to attend."

This is it! A blessing has finally come! This would be the perfect opportunity for her to farm her fish!

"Yes! Sure, Director Sam. I'll be there."

"Alright. I'll text you the details."

"Thanks, Director Sam." She calmly said while holding back her excitement.

Right after the call ended, Yanarym received a message just as the director had told her. It contained further information about the banquet that will be held under Alvan Villalias's name. She promptly headed to her box of clothes to look for something to wear at the said party. Then she slowly stopped, realizing something.

"Guide-sama! Did the plot accelerate?" Her forehead furrowed. She knew something wasn't right. Alvan was not supposed to hold a banquet yet. It should be near the ending of the story, where he would eventually attempt to defile the female lead.

Guide-sama: "I am sorry, Yanarym. I do not know why the second male lead has been drastically changing the pace of the plot. But I have found out it may be related to you."

Her lips formed into a thin line. She paused for a moment before sitting in front of the pen and paper she was using just a while ago. She swiftly turned to the next page of the paper and started writing.

She wrote every tiniest detail she could remember from the book she had read, wherein its story resembled the world she had been transferred to.

"Guide," she called. "At the exact moment I came here, have the second male lead and the female lead met already?"

Guide-sama: "No, they have not met yet."

"Then why did the plot change? Was it because I had sex with Alvan? But we all knew it was a usual thing for him to have sex with everyone!" Yanarym protested.

Guide-sama: "I am sorry, Yanarym. I do not know."

She became silent again for a minute, then continued writing her thoughts again. She wasn't sure why the plot had fast-forwarded but there was a smile emerging on her face.

"Hmm. The plot changed. Isn't this exciting?" She had no idea why or what caused the plot to change. If there was any key variable, who knows? She didn't want to think it was her besides why would the story adjust for her?

The main reason why Alvan was throwing a big party was, indeed, Yanarym. His schedule had been jam-packed for the past few weeks but he still made sure that the party would take place plus he was also the one who orchestrated the event.

Tonight, he will prove to that woman that he wasn't the kind of person who she can mess with and ignore just like that. What she did deeply wounded his ego. He will make sure she would pay and realize she had made a huge mistake for messing with him.

He felt like he was used by that woman, Yanarym, frustrating him more than he was. Good thing, she didn't replace him with another man because if she did, oh god may forgive him, his possessiveness was at its worst when it comes to her. He's been eyeing her- the longest woman who kept him in tab.
