    Yi Yan was sitting behind her large desk in a colorful linen dress, reading magazines carefully. She passed them to Qin Guan after he took a seat on the couch. 
    They were all in foreign languages. VOGUE was in English, and ELLE and COSMOPOLITAN were in French.
    Qin Guan looked up at Yin, waiting for an explanation.
    Yin Yan massaged her eyebrows. "You know why ELLE chose me as the Chief Editor of its Asian version. I’m French-Chinese after all, and I have a systematic knowledge of the fashion industry. I graduated from a Fashion Editor School in France."
    "The Asian version is separate from the original magazine, and I’m the director. The headquarters have acknowledged my work of taking China as the foothold of conquering Asia though."
    "In the past two years, ELLE Asia has brought in 40% of the total income, creating more investing opportunities for ELLE in China."
    "On the other side, our competitors have realized there’s money to be made and they want to share it with us. VOGUE is a fashion magazine in the US, and COSMOPOLITAN is ELLE’s main rival in France. They are all among the top five fashion magazines in the world."
    "Here is some good news for you, Qin Guan. VOGUE is about to enter the domestic market, followed by COSMOPOLITAN. VOGUE has reached an agreement with our headquarters. We’ll work together to drive COSMOPOLITAN out of the market. It's funny! They did this only because we were rivals."
    "I am strongly against this agreement. I don’t think we should cooperate with our rivals. The headquarters thought it would be okay to lend you to VOGUE for several issues though."
    "So congratulations, Qin Guan! You have another contract with a top fashion magazine. Even if it’s only the Asian version. Believe me, those American guys are much more shrewd than the French. "
   Feeling awkward, Qin Guan said, "Sister, we are friends. Please stop beating around the bush. You’re worried about me, aren’t you? You’re afraid they’ll take me away with a higher salary."
   "Yes," Yin Yan replied. "That’s why I’m asking what your plan is."
    Qin Guan leaned back against the couch, smiling happily. The flowers on the tea table seemed dull compared to his smile. 
    "Sister Yin, I’m not a green hand anymore. I won't say no to a job for anybody. That’s the reality of the modelling circle. With enough popularity, a model can appear in all five top magazines at the same time, not just two. I suggest you change your future plans. Stop competing with Rayli. The Japanese are short-sighted. A model cannot help everyone prevail in this situation."
    "When the domestic fashion magazines come out, there will be fierce competition. All flowers will bloom at once, and you will be having a really hard time. Don't worry though, I’ll never say no to you." 
    Qin Guan raised his eyebrows at Yin, casting a soft glance at her. Yin threw a small box fastened with a ribbon at his head and waved him away. "Go! Go! So much for this business! I don't want to hear your advice! This is a gift from f*cking VOGUE! Take it and go to hell!" 
    Qin Guan caught the box, blinking at her. He retreated from the office quickly before she threw the scissors as well.
    He opened the gift on his way to the parking lot. It must be an interesting guy who asks an opponent to hand over a gift. Yin Yan thinks she is facing a formidable enemy. Qin Guan was curious about the man.
    When he got to the parking lot, he saw that there was a BOSS tie clip in the box. BOSS was considered the most rigorous fashion brand in Germany. He was so shocked by the gift that he posed like a pheasant, standing on one foot and shouting, "YES!"
    A little girl standing nearby pulled at her mother's sleeve and pointed at Qin Guan. "Mum, is that big boy silly? Why is he posing like that?" 
    Her mother locked the car and turned around, only to see Qin Guan standing still in the parking lot. He was standing on one foot, his other foot curled up. His arms were both raised up above his head. 
    He looked like a thief sneaking around in the most exaggerated, cartoonish manner. Putting on a black mask would have worked better.
    Holding her daughter's hand, the mother stared at Qin Guan's strange pose silently.
    "I don't know, darling. We’d better not disturb him though. He might be a performance artist. I’ve heard that there are many artists like that in foreign countries."
    "Really? So he just poses in an empty space? He could be pushed down among a crowd. He is so handsome!" 
    They both expressed their admiration of the artist. The capital is the center of the fashion industry. That’s why we get to watch such an elegant performance!
    They stared at Qin Guan and talked for a short while. Unable to bear the pain on his waist any longer, Qin Guan put his arms down.
    The woman and the girl walked up to him with shining eyes. A small hand was stretched out towards him with a 10-yuan bill in it.
    "Here you go, big brother. There’s nobody left here. Have a rest while you wait for an audience!" The girl gave him the tip and waved at him happily. Then she left with her mother. 


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

The cake was untouched, her mom had already returned to Manila again, and her phone was silent. There wasn't a single text from Hans, nor a single text from her ever since she called her later back then and arguing about it. She was sad, thinking all the things she doesn't want to happen, thinking about Hans and hearing Evelyn's voice when she called him. She couldn't take it anymore and dialed someone she knew she could trust. With a few sobbing and choked explanations, Brendan knocked at her door after half an hour.

She opened the door, her eyes still red from crying and hugged Brendan before directing him to the kitchen. She opened the chocolate cake, giving a slice to him and made some hot chocolate for both of them.

"You know me well." Brendan said as she just stared at her cup solemnly.

"I wish I know Hans well too." She said.

Brendan chose to drink his hot chocolate than respond to her. She caught him staring at her.

"Where were you yesterday?"

"Home." Brendan replied. "Did... something happened yesterday?"

"I think Hans is cheating on me with Evelyn." She replied directly. "Do you know anything about it?"

"Adriana, that's a big word you're saying." Brendan said, finishing his cake. "And no, I don't know anything about it."

"I called him yesterday and while we were talking, I heard Evelyn's voice." Adriana said getting a look of disbelief from Brendan. "He claims it was his sister."

Brendan shrugged. "Maybe it was his sister."

"Brendan, I know Evelyn well just like how you and Hans know each other for years. I know her voice and I know it was her." Adriana said, waiting for Brendan to respond. "Aren't you going to say a word? Anything?"

"Then why won't you just break up?"

Adriana stammered a bit. "I... I can't..."

"There you have it." Brendan sighed. "But why are you even with him if you can't even trust him?"

"Because I love him." Adriana said, not sure where her answer was going.

Brendan held her hand and looked at her directly in her eyes. "Look, Adriana. Hans is my best friend, and I trust him with all my heart. He's like the brother I never had... but here you are telling me that you don't trust him."

Adriana didn't know what to say exactly. "So... you're saying I should trust him more?"

"Maybe, but you could also go on ask the other one." Brendan suggested.

"Who exactly?"

"Evelyn."

"I think Javier will be interested on meeting up again, I swear." Cass said. She, Sarah, and Adriana were sitting at one of the campus benches. "I felt a spark between us. He could really be my Mr. Right."

Adriana looked at Hans who was playing with his cellphone again at the study table as Cass babbled about her sex with Javier. He glanced at her, stopped playing with his phone, and texted her.

Hans: smile :)

Adriana: smile yourself

Hans smiled as he texted her.

Hans: i am now

Adriana: *sends a sticker of a thumbs up*

Hans: are you mad?

"His dick was really big." Cass said as some teachers passed by. Sarah nudged her. "Sorry."

Hans: hello there?

Adriana: hey

Hans: the angel from my nightmare

Hans: the shadow in the background of the morgue

Adriana: don't waste my time on you, u're an annoying voice inside my head

Hans frowned at her reply.

Hans: look, if ur mad. we can talk later when you calm down. Ok

Adriana angrily typed fuck you on her cellphone, but immediately deleted it and just left Hans' message.

"He didn't use a condom." She heard Cass say.

Adriana's eyes opened wide. "What?!"

"The hell, Cass." Sarah muttered.

"What? He doesn't want to use one... and I swear he pulled it out before..." Cass then noticed Javier passing by and greeted cheerily. "Hello!"

"Hi." Was all Javier could say without even looking at her. Cass was saddened a bit but still waved at him.

Antoine soon followed, and smiled as soon as he saw Adriana. "Bonjour, will the lovely ladies go to the Halloween battle of the bands on Friday?"

"Yes!" Cass said before they could even talk. "We'll be there!"

"Cool." He said as he walked away. "Just text me if you need a ride."

"Did I fail to mention that his friends are super-hot, too?" Cass asked, nobody was paying attention. "I was also thinking of them when we're having-"

"Cass, just because you have two hands and three holes doesn't mean you can get laid on whoever you want to get laid. Think about it, Cass, you're not a living petri-dish. Sheesh." Sarah said, walking out. Cass was speechless and instantly regret saying that and rushed to her friend.

"Wait, I don't even understand what you mean!" Was all she could hear from Cass when Hans approached her.

"Babe." Hans sat next to her and leaned towards her for a kiss. She pushed him away.

"You smell like smoke again." Adriana said, Hans just nodded.

"Okay, can you tell me what I did again." Hans asked, she gave no answer. "My god Adriana, I'm tired of this."

"I really think there's something between you and Evelyn." She said with spite. Hans looked at her, surprised.

"Adriana... if this is about-"

"I heard her voice on the phone!"

"For crying out loud, it was Hannah!"

"You told me she asked you to fetch some errands! And then she's suddenly with you?!"

"She caught up with me because she forgot to tell me something!"

"Oh, and she can't just text that to you or call you because apparently Hannah will chase you because she forgot something?" Adriana was getting frustrated as Hans couldn't even look at her. "Hans, why are you even lying to me?!"

"I'm not lying for fuck's sake!" Hans raised his voice, Adriana could see people staring at them. "God damn it, stop being so insecure all the time."

She stood up, almost teary-eyed. "You know what? This isn't working. We aren't working."

"What...? What do you mean by that?" Hans stood up when she started walking away. "Adriana!"

She angrily walked at the hallway, pushing anyone who got out of her way. Hans caught up with her, but she ignored him, shoving his hand away every time he touches her. He grasped her tight enough, and kissed her. She felt the same spark she felt the day of their first kiss, warm and gentle, not the kind of kiss that was close to shoving his tongue to her mouth. He held her face, brushing away her hair and kissed her again, and again, and again, until she felt like she found the old Hans. The Hans that would take her out to eat, the Hans that would made her feel safe and secure, the Hans that made her feel loved and belonged. And he smiled again, Hans and his smile of victory. She knows his smiles better than anyone else, and she barely knows she had lost to him again.

"So what are you guys planning to wear tomorrow?" Lyka asked the girls as she combed her hair. "I want to dressed up as a failed-thesis proposal."

"I want to dress up as Cass." Sam said teasingly. Cass agreed to bring her back to the squad after boosting their Instagram account, still, Cass regrets meeting her. "No jokes here."

"Ha ha, very funny." Cass said, taking selfies while wearing the t-shirt and cap of Javier squad that he gave to her. "Oh my god, have I told you guys that I sent Javier a topless picture?"

The girls became dead silent.

"I read it in Cosmopolitan that guys like girls who are a hundred percent confident with their bodies." Cass said, the girls were still quiet, Sam just rolled her eyes. "He just seenzoned me, but I feel like he saved it to his gallery."

"And now it's in Pornhub in Filipino category." Sarah rolled her eyes.

"Listen here, Cass, no offense but Javier doesn't care about you." Sam said bluntly.

"How do you even know that?" Cass asked.

"He didn't even reply to a topless picture." Sam said, Cass still couldn't get what she's saying. "He's a fuckboy."

"You don't know that!"

"Oh, fuck me for not knowing." Sam said, holding Cass on the wrist and taking her to the window, then pointing.

"Do you see that girl?" Sam asked, pointing at the girl on the bench wearing the same cap and t-shirt. "She probably gave Javier a blowjob, and that one?"

Sam was pointing at the girl walking with the same cap and t-shirt. "I think she had a one-night stand with him. Oh, and look!"

Two girls were chatting at each other, also wearing the same cap and t-shirt.

"They probably had a threesome with Javier."

Cass was speechless.

"So if I were you Cass, I'd stop wearing my ass above my head, it's not a hat." Sam said harshly.

Cass began to sob. "Why are you always so mean to me?"

Cass ran out of the bathroom, crying. Lyka quickly followed her, leaving the three behind.

"That was so mean, Sam." Adriana said.

"Hello? Can't you see? We're her friends, if we don't tell her the truth then who else will?" Sam said. "She just sent a topless picture to the school's biggest fuckboy who is just using her while she just falls for sweet lies."

"It was very uncalled for." Adriana said. "Sometimes you have to trust people!"

"No, Adriana, I... I believe Javier is the last guy we want to trust." Sarah said, making Sam nod.

"But you just can't go around telling people that they're a liar."

"Are you hearing yourself, Adriana? We all know boys lie." Sam said, Adriana was about to react when Sam raised her finger. "Hep, I'm not done talking yet. How do I know that boys lie? Well, they make up inconsistent stories, they get mad when you point out the inconsistencies, and when you get mad and started giving them the silent treatment or a break-up threat, they'll shower you with hugs and kisses like it's nobody's business."

Adriana was speechless at what she just heard. It was like a bullseye to her heart.

"You'll see. Cass is slowly falling from cloud nine to rock bottom and we're just nothing but hard cement."

Biyernes Oktobre 26, 2015 (6:40 PM)

She was Little Red Riding Hood, just sitting at one of the bleachers, basket full of plastic apples and stomach full of butterflies. Everyone was dancing to the beat while she just sat prettily with the rest of the wallflowers. She remembered the acquaintance party and everything that happened back there which made the butterflies inside pinch her guts. The KIDS were performing and they were all dressed up as zombies. Students were screaming and cheering, especially at Antoine and Javier's duet.

She sighed as she opened her phone, revealing a text message from Hans.

Hans: adriana, you are the prettiest, funniest, loveliest, and coolest girl in the whole world. if there's someone prettier/funnier/lovelier/cooler than you, she probably doesn't exist because u r only one in this whole world and i'm so lucky to have you. i love you xx hans iv.

Sam's words rang in her head: They'll shower you with hugs and kisses like it's nobody's business.

She closed her phone when she saw Evelyn just around the corner, dressed up as Cat Woman. She descended the bleachers, squeezed through the crowd, and tapped her shoulder. Evelyn turned around completely surprised with a smile.

"Did you meet up with Hans last Friday?" She asked directly.

Evelyn smirked. "Last Friday? Hmm, let's see... yes he did!"

Evelyn could feel Adriana's blood boiling. "Oh, he didn't tell you? That's so sad."

"Putangina mo." Adriana said angrily, Evelyn grimaced.

"Putangina ko?" Evelyn laughed. "Ikaw lang ang puta dito, Adriana. Puta ka."

She couldn't believe what she just heard. She squeezed her way out of the dance floor and outside the gym. She was crying, but she did her best to hide it with the hood she's wearing. She made her way out of the gym and went behind the ticket booth where she cried as she texted Hans.

Adriana: HONESTLY, FUCK YOU HANS. FUCK YOU AND FUCK THIS RELATIONSHIP. EVELYN TOLD ME EVERYTHING AND I AM ENDING THIS NOW! FUCK OFF FROM MY LIFE.

She pressed send, closed her phone and cried more, sitting at the ground as she wiped the tears from her eyes. The music stopped and the cheers from the gymnasium drowned her cries outside. The emcee announced the next band performing as Hans began to call her. She could hear some footsteps coming.

"Yeah, I know... I know. Wait, I'll call you later." It was Antoine and he stopped the moment he saw her sitting at the corner of the booth. "Adriana?"

She was about to speak when her phone rang again. Hans was calling, she just let it ring until it died out. She closed her phone and looked at him.

"Who's Hans?" Antoine asked.

"He's my boyfriend..." She replied, quite unsure about the boyfriend part. "... I mean... was my boyfriend."

Adriana couldn't manage to hold her tears back, and cried. Antoine let her lean over his shoulder as she cried. "We were fighting... and I... I don't know... it's like he's a different person again."

"He's a dick for making you cry." Antoine said, leaning closer to her.

Smooth hair, chestnut-brown eyes, and an already matured face, that's what she saw under the fake zombie makeup. He slowly kissed her, feeling his soft skin that barely resembled Hans' that was full of stubble. She found herself kissing back, but she found his tongue shoving hers. She pushed him away and stood up.

"No... no... this can't happen." She muttered.

"Antoine?" They heard a voice approaching. Antoine quickly stood up.

"Antoine? What are you doing here?" A girl asked.

"I was finding a signal, then I saw her crying..." Antoine pointed her out and lied. "She's Adriana, the cousin of Luc's girlfriend. She's... currently on bad terms with her boyfriend."

"Oh, I see." The girl said with a smile. "Care for some pep talk, girl?"

"Adriana, this is my girlfriend, Niki Isidro." Antoine said as they kissed. "She's an expert at this kind of relationships, trust me, she gives quality advice."

Antoine left them as Niki sat beside her.

"You're a freshman, right?" Niki asked, Adriana just nodded. "I've been through that, Adriana. See, when people grow they tend to find out who they are and what they are... and that sounds like a complete pain in the ass but that's just that because we're humans... we mature everyday."

Your boyfriend kissed me.

"When I was a freshman, my boyfriend cheated on me five times behind my back. It was the worst heartache ever, and I just laughed it off whenever I remember it when I became a sophomore. You see Adriana, you'll mature once you get older."

And I kissed him back.

"Don't take relationships that seriously, especially when you're just a freshman. Take it as an advice from a sophomore who's already been through a lot. Think of it as something temporary, don't let an immature boy stand in your way." Niki finished, then she hugged her and patted her back. "See, feeling well now? Oh, I know... you should dance with my friends!"

"Thank you but... I'm already tired." Adriana said. "I'm going home now... still, thanks for the advice."

"No problem, girl." Niki said as she walked away back to the party.

Adriana sighed and felt bad about how Niki was very unaware of what Antoine just did. She stood up and walked to the hallways where her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw a woman in white crying by the distance. She slowly walked past the crying woman, thinking and wishing that it was just some prank, but it turned out to be Cass wearing a white lady costume. She attempted to speak but Cass' eyes were fixated somewhere else. There she saw it, Javier making out with a senior dressed up like an angel. There was no point of talking to her now as she just fell face down from cloud nine.

Adriana arrived at her home, finding Hans sitting outside their gate, wearing a black hoodie as he smoked a joint.

"Red Riding Hood?" Hans asked, huffing the fumes out. "You look cute."

"Thank you." Was all she could say. She leaned beside him at the gate. 

"I lied." Hans admitted; Adriana looked at his eyes that were almost teary. "And I'm sorry. It was the stupidest thing I've ever done."

Adriana was listening.

"Evelyn's brother, Marcel, sells cheap weed." Hans continued. "I... I went there last Friday because Froy told me so. I found him there... and Evelyn was also there beside him and I... I couldn't do anything but lie because I was already there. I already knew how you would react... and I... I couldn't imagine a world without you."

Hans hugged her tight, she could feel his tears dropping at her back. "I'm so dumb, I'm so sorry... I'm such an idiot to lie, but... it hurt me most when kept telling me that there's something between me and Evelyn."

Adriana found herself crying too. "It's okay... it's okay, I understand... I'm sorry."

"I'm so sorry... I'm so stupid... I would never do anything to ruin us."

"Don't cry... Hans, I forgive you."

Hans cried like a child tonight, it was thefirst time she saw him like this. She cried too, cried at the regret, cried atthe sight of her boyfriend blaming himself, but most of all she cried becauseof the guilt swallowing her. They kissed once again, and she finds Han tastingthe same as Antoine, only sweeter.



Things you should know:

1. Hans is texting the lyrics of Blink 182's song I Miss You.

2. Cosmopolitan is a women's magazine.

3. Adriana is a clear definition of someone who is marupok (lit. fragile) when it comes to love.

4. "Putangina ko? Ikaw lang ang puta dito, Adriana. Puta ka." translates to Fuck me? No, fuck you Adriana. Fuck you. Its literal translation in Filipino, however, is: My mother is a slut? You're the only slut here Adriana. You're a slut.

5. Marijuana is very illegal in the Philippines, and Hans doesn't want her to know that he's been doing it because he can get imprisoned or killed for it.

"Don't mind my nosiness but what happened the day before?" Xutao asked with politeness. Xinya thought o herself it wouldn't hurt to say so she told him everything. Xutao then comforted her like a gentlemen. He did indeed found himself weird because he was never gentle to anyone before. Soon, the food arrived and the chatted happily as they munched on their food.

"It was a great dinner and it was nice to meet a friend like you, I hope there will be more chances in the future to meet you" Xinya said out of politeness.

The next morning I was sitting at my computer in my home office.

I should have been working. I had three deadlines the next two weeks and I'd barely begun on the work. I was a freelance editor. I got paid by the hour and if I didn't work that hour, I didn't get paid. I had a mouth to feed, my own. I had a body to clothe, a body that liked all sorts of clothes, it craved them so I had to feed the habit or things could get nasty. I had a cosmopolitan addiction and cosmos didn't come cheap. And I had a house I was fixing up. Therefore, I needed to get paid.

Okay, that wasn't strictly true. I wasn't fixing up my house. My Dad did some of the work. My friend Troy did other work. So, I should say that I had a house I was guilting, begging and emotionally blackmailing others into fixing up.
But still, it needed fixing up and cabinets and tile didn't march from Cabinet and Tile Land into my house and say, "We want to live with you, Gwendolyn Kidd, fix us to your walls!"
That only happened in my dreams, of which I had many, most of them daydreams.
Like right then, sitting at my computer, one heel to the seat, my chin to my knee, my eyes staring out the window, I was thinking about my Mystery Man, the Great MM. I was daydreaming about changing our first meeting. Being smarter, funnier, more mysterious, alluring, interesting, hooking him instantly with my rapier wit, my flair for conversation, my ability to discuss politics and world events intelligently, my humble stories of expansive charity work all wrapped up with enticing looks that promised a lifetime of mind-blowing orgasms, making him declare his undying love for me.
Or at least tell me his name.
Instead, I was drunk and definitely not any of that.I heard my doorbell go, a chime then a clunk and I started out of my elaborate daydream which was beginning to get good.
Then I got up and walked through my office into the upstairs hall making a mental note, again, to call Troy and see if he'd fix my doorbell for a six pack and a homemade pizza. This might mean he'd bring his annoying, whiny, constantly bitching new girlfriend though, so I changed my mind and decided to call my Dad.

Xin City(in country Z), the cosmopolitan hub of the East was the resident of most of the successful and richest businessmen and influential personnel. The city was known throughout the world for it's rapidly developing technology, military power, fashion, food and night life. People also called it the Vegas of East.
While walking down the streets you can see many sleek and luxurious cars driven by some rich brats. The top-notch clubs were filled with beautiful people of all ages. You can see many attendants running after Young Madams and Misses to show them the newly launched clothes and jewels. During day, the air was filled with power, intelligence and development but during night people breathed the air of lust, addiction and hunger. 

But there was one young man who caught the attention of all. Zhao Neil, the CEO of Zhao Conglomerate, the most richest company of the country. He was a mastermind in technology. An Adonis among other male who each pale in comparison.

He was 25 and 183cm tall. His hair was jet black and lustrous. His eyes were equally black and so deep that it can make anyone weak at knees. His dark brows stooped downwards in a serious expression. He had a strong jaw, so sharp that it could probably cut through glass. A tall celestial nose and beautiful thin lips. His features were molded from granite.
His body was toned and muscular with strong arms, firm chest and abdomen, bold thighs and calves. His bone structure was fine and perfectly symmetrical. Muscles rippled across every part of his body when he moved. His voice was deep and smooth with a serious tone. 
One look, and both men and women swooned at the sight of him. The aura he exuded was intimidating yet calm. But there is always a hint of gentleness in his eyes which goes unnoticed by almost everyone. 
Women threw themselves at his feet. They wanted to make him their husband. If not husband, they were always ready to make him even their daddy. With a face and aura like that, who wouldn't?...
As a child he was completely diffrent from other kids. Born with a strong yet silent personality, he never interacted too much with others. While all other rich teenagers were busy indulging themselves in addiction and luxury, he was training vigorously under the guidance of his grandfather. His training started from a tender age of 10 so as to make him ready to face any emergency in the future. He was trained in all aspects of life including technical skills, martial arts, handling weapons, investment and marketing and even culinary skills. 

The emergency happened. He was only 17 when he got hold of the company due to his father's illness. At that time, even though Zhao conglomerate was very successful, it was not no. 1 in the country. He became the Intern CEO and the major decisions were still made by his father because he had not reached the age of 20. He put forward all the things he had learned during his 7years of immense training.
Well the hard work paid off.
Within two years, when he was still an intern CEO the company reached it's peak. Zhao Conglomerate became the most powerful corporation of the country. He started enlarging his empire to various other countries. And soon he became a living legend. He became the most powerful person of the East. People of all ages admired him, respected him.
They gave him the nickname of "THE KING OF EAST"

She is a bewitching beauty who lures everyone in a mysterious way. A kind soul who brings joy everywhere she goes. But BEWARE..... If you dare mess with her, she will show you her cold and foxy side.

He is the most successful and powerful CEO of the country. Though young, he is rough and strong who stays to himself. He is devilishly handsome but has a sensitive and caring heart.

The cute little bun is loved by both of them. He is their strength as well as weakness, a weakness that makes them more stronger.

What will happen next? A strong woman meets a powerful man. A cute kid. Faceslapping scenes. Power Couple. 
Let's embark on a journey together to see what holds in the future for them.

Well first of all he cultivates
second of all he does stuff 
and thats "cultivation and stuff

The human colonies were divided into large fleets, each group was named according to the continent from which it took off, therefore there were the colonizing fleets America (which included the American continent), Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
At this time in the Asia Colony, precisely in a research center, there was a tense atmosphere. For some reason, some records were duplicated or rewritten. Everyone could tell that the story was correcting. Something or someone had broken the continuity of the reality they were in, up to where they understood as much as someone could travel in time, there should be no way that could affect their original timeline
- Does that mean it was caused in higher dimensions?
Someone said muttering. He was talking to himself and was unaware of the sudden silence.
- We do not know if there can be something similar to live, in that case, and we have no way of verifying this with our current technology.
- Well .. not exactly - the president had entered the room When they heard his voice everyone greeted him respectfully. - We have won a competition for an important project. It may be helpful for the current situation. From this moment on, the entire company will focus on this task, we will stop all the investigations and also inform them that it is not an only human question, it was a joint investigation of all the intelligent species of Vyndra.
- Right now it would be good if "they" will also help
- Nothing can be done ... I'm sure that event also interfered with the restructuring
- The singularity was in some way influenced that is for sure, the problem is that we do not know in what way until it is restarted. Another disturbance in space is happening in an isolated area and we will be moving in a few days. I need everyone to prepare, then more details will be provided.
When they arrived at the place you could see something that was very common, vyndra was very cosmopolitan but in this case, the great minds were together, something that was not currently possible. since it was rare for them to be in a situation where they meet.
Different types of equipment were being installed, it took all afternoon until everything was in place. The next day, the analysis of the situation had started, something that impressed everyone was a certain frequency were being attracted to the disturbance, the particular thing was that these frequencies were related to those that carried the data related to the singularity.
They did not know what was happening. Immediately he was sent to investigate the center where he was. That the uniqueness is originated in a game was something that was not expected. Right now it had evolved in such a way that it was looking for ways to physically manifest in the world. Technically, the singularity dominated all the computing on the planet without distinction, the fact that it maintained an attachment to the playful aspect of its original development relieved Vyndra's high command, remained faithful to its objective of creating forms of "life" that they would always accompany their breeders. So it immediately absorbed data from any technology that was connected to the network or found traces of development, to accomplish this feat. If the public knew that their privacy was constantly being violated, there would not only be minor disturbances, this was one of Vyndra's biggest secrets.
Another week passed without apparent problems, the camp was still investigating the spatial distortion, the tests to see what happened when making contact with this space, the drones had begun, at the moment, the drones could not withstand a pressure that appears after passing through it. they discovered that it was a kind of portal. Over time they discovered that space and the fundamental forces on the other side seemed to be forming, at overwhelming speed, if they were forming, it was something they did not expect to witness ...
Then the Singularity spoke and everyone involved with the investigation went into shock, basically telling them that what was happening in the space that was forming on the other side of the portal would make the objective it had been pursuing for hundreds of years come true. He didn't elaborate on how but he was creating a universe.
In addition to confirming that he had duplicated and transferred the main computer, to that universe. This involved many things. They immediately realized that there was a greater force that made this possible, a force that if they could do what they were observing, could destroy everything they knew if they wanted, fear, and almost primordial fear made them demand to talk about how and Whatever it was that made all this possible, the only thing the Singularity said was that there was no danger to the existence of beings on this planet and that it would not give more details.
After that, the instructions given by the singularity were followed, the fear that had left all this event made them follow these orders without opposing in any way. And so it was that some technologies were being developed across Vyndra in collaboration with all intelligent species.
A great change was coming.

After a horrible experience, Tom begins his new life in Vyndra.

The next morning came and the two of them left for work together.

Since Daniel had fetched Samantha yesterday, her car was left in her office. So, that morning, he drove her to Trident.

"Do you remember what I told you to do?", Daniel asked Samantha who was applying powder on her nose on the passenger's seat.

Her hand stopped in front of her face and then she turned her head to him, "What? You didn't tell me anything.", she shook her head. "Did you talk to me while I was sleeping again?"

He laughed at her question as he recalled that one time when he did talk to her, but he didn't realize that she had already fallen asleep.

(mini flashback)
★━━━━━━━━★ 
Samantha was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and Daniel had just laid down beside her.

"Honey, did you remember to lock the doors when you came up?", he asked. 

In which Samantha responded whilst asleep, "Mhmm, because I like you naughty."

The next morning after her sleep talking, Daniel told her about what happened the night before but she didn't believe him. He was very insistent and said that he should have recorded it instead. But could he have known that it would happen?
★━━━━━━━━★

"No, I didn't talk to you while you were asleep.", he answered while still chuckling.

She thought about it but she really couldn't remember if he had told her something important, and so she requested, "Remind me what you told me."

Daniel reached out to hold her hand and said, "I told you to trust me. That I will take care of it for you so all you have to do is to wait. I promise that you will be able to launch your game no matter what, okay?"

Samantha felt very warm with his words for her. And so, she smiled at him and nodded before bringing his hand to her lips and kissed it. She didn't know when she had started to depend on him more but even so, she didn't find it uncomfortable. It was quite the opposite actually, she felt secured that even on her downfalls, Daniel was always there with her. She is always amazed at how deep his feelings are for her.


With this thought in mind, she had added another promise to herself that no matter what, she is going to stand by him. And that she is going to do her best to be worthy to be called Daniel Cho's wife.

…

Inside the Maybach.

After Daniel dropped Samantha at Trident, he wore his bluetooth headset on and then he dialed a number. After a few rings, a man answered the call.

"Boss, we're waiting for you at the basement.", said the man.

His eyes were fierce as he drove his car towards the suburbs, "Did you find those two?", he probed with a hint of threat in his voice.

"Yes, we found them. What do you want us to do to them?", the man asked, waiting for his order.

Stepping on the gas, his speed increased while he spoke, "Nothing. Wait for me. I want them alive."

…

Several hours later at Trident, in the CEO's Office.

Hannah was browsing some magazines on the sofa while Samantha was on the phone with Becca.

"Don't worry about the articles online, people will talk for a bit and then the issue will subside.", she said.

Samantha slumped on her chair, "Yeah, I woke up today thinking that I shouldn't be affected by all of it. But I can't help it sometimes. I mean, who wants to be talked about behind their backs, right?" 

"You'll be fine, Sam. Just always remember that only your loved ones matter the most. So whatever those strangers think about you, it shouldn't affect you."

"Thanks, Becks!"

"No biggie, how's Hannah holding up?", she asked.

Samantha glanced at her best friend who was munching some crackers while her eyes were set on the Cosmopolitan magazine's pages, oogling at some hot guys' bods.

She stifled a laugh, "Hannah's being Hannah… doesn't even care about what's going on. I doubt that she even read what's online."

"That's good then. I gotta go Sam, I'm boarding soon."

"Ooh! Enjoy the beaches and send me pictures!", they both bid farewell before ending the call.

Hannah lifted her head when she noticed Samantha approaching her, "Was that Becca?", she probed before putting a cracker in her mouth.

"Yeah, she was just about to board the plane.", Samantha took some crackers for herself and continued. "What is that? You look very focused on other men... isn't Seo Joon's body enough?"

Hannah choked on the food that she was eating, her face became red in embarrassment. "I haven't seen- um, I mean, I didn't-", she stuttered and Samantha laughed at her. 

"Look at you, how come the bold and free spirited Hannah suddenly becomes like an innocent teenager when it comes to Joon?", she teased some more.

"Stop it, Samantha!", Hannah shoved a cracker on Samantha's mouth to stop her from talking more. 

Just then, the door of Samantha's office opened. Assistant Chen came in a rush, "Madam! The TV! The game!"

Samantha wiped her mouth to remove the crumbs and stood up, "Slow down, Chen. What's going on?"

Chen composed herself and turned on the television. The screen came to life and the three of them saw two people on stage, it looked like a press conference.

"Isn't that… Cole?", Samantha saw one of her best programmers who resigned a couple of weeks ago. 

And beside him was the CEO of Quantum Solutions, Mr. Sung Nan. 

With trembling voice, Cole spoke in front of all the media, "I... I... I stole the game that Gamescape launched. I stole it from Trident."

"One cosmopolitan "I order finally after an hour or so thinking 
my first drinking and my first club 
oh god , this is the only place where they didn't ask my I'd 
shit 
he pissed me off and I rattled out ,here I am not knowing where the hell I am
in a shitty bar ,half the crowd as been passed out and other half maybe dead I should check there pulses 
"Here you go " I look upto the bar tender 
he winks and I feel like I have to puke 
suddenly his hazel eyes comes in my mind and bite down my lips 
why should he be such a pain in the ass ?
"Drinking alone?" 
speak of the devil 
I just nod sipping the drink 
fuck it burns my throat 
"You know your not suppose to be here . That's against the law " he settles down next to me 
I don't look at him 
"Where you following me Mr.Bossy pants ?" I shrug 
he laughs 
"Well this is the only place they don't ask for I'd so I found you easily " he smirks 
and I feel like I should kiss him then and there so he will shut his mouth 
but I'm sharing a room with him , atleast for next few days and I don't want to brand myself as some teen slut so I stick my tongue down 
"What ?" he asks like he can read my mind 
"What?" 
wow , so dumb Cas 
"Your staring at me or should I say my lips ?" 
jesus , he noticed 
"I didn't " I lie 
"You know ,you did " he snaps back 
"So ? Yes I did .What now ?" I cross my arms leaning back 
"Don't tease me Cassandra " his voice should warn me but it turns me on instead 
"Stop being a pain in the ass Nick .I don't know what's your deal " I pick my bag leaving the money on the table 
he grabs my elbow and pulls me back on the chair 
"My deal is I want to fuck you but I can't because I don't want to break your innocence. Your roo innocent for my liking but guess what ? I have never liked anyone better " 
with that he walks towards the bar 
it takes me a minute to register what just happened 
I find him back near the bar ,dripping a beer 
"Why do you think I'm innocent?" I ask him taking the drink from his hand and sipping it down 
"See, that's why .Your so pure that anyone ,any man in this room will love to have you .But not me because I like your purity .It will fuck me up ." 
"I'm not that innocent or naive "I argue 
"Yeah ?"he leans in whispering 
"Yes " my voice firm
"Then strip for me Baby , strip for me now " a small smile falls on his lips as he leans back
he must be kidding me ,right ?
I laugh at first 
but no he's dead serious 
I push my hair behind my neck 
If he wants to play games with me 
Let me show him what kind of player I am 
I don't care , i really don't 
i stand up pushing the chair behind 
his eyes staring mine 
I get on the bar table , the bar tender eyes goes wide as I stand on the table 
I look back at Nick , a small playful smile plays on his lips 
he raises his beer in air ,encouraging me 
I slowly unbutton my shirt 
my hands shivering , nervous 
I hear few whistles from the crowd 
and they oddly encourage me to do better 
i unbutton one by one 
and remove my shirt slowly 
i hear few screams , a cheer 
i turn towards them 
a young man ,his eyes filled with lust as I drop my shirt on the ground .My laced pink sheer bralette on display, he adjusts himself in his pants 
I smirk hard , a rare kind of confident in me 
a fucked up brain , a fucked up new freedom in my hands 
My hands slowly reach to my Jean's button 
that's when I'm thrown on his shoulders 
"That's enough big girl, will take the rest back to our room " he spanks hard on my ass 
he walks towards the door 
all the eyes on me 
few smiling at me 
few winks at me 
while few stare at me , awestruck 
oddly I'm an confident then I have ever been in my entire life 
"What was that?" he puts me down 
amd I stumble on my step 
"What?" I try to shove his hands away as he wraps my shirt around me 
"The show you started for me ended up being other's" 
his sarcasm hits me 
"Can't help an cheerful audience "I put my tongue out playfully 
"Tell me this was your first time "he crosses his arms and his elbows brushes my chest 
I don't move neither he does 
"What if it wasn't?" I ask him back 
he laughs 
a hard core laugh 
and God hes fucking cute 
three days , that's it 
I remember myself 
"You never fail to surprise me Ms.Sanders " 
his voice stern 
but that's not what it surprises me 
but the mentioning of my surname 
I never told him or anyone for that matter 
the last thing I wanted anyone was to know who I am and who my father was ?
back home he's a tycoon 
"How do you know my last name ?"
anger is rushing inside me 
and helpless rushing my guts 
my father will find me 
and rush me back home 
I'll be caged completely this time 
"Relax "I feel his hand around my waist pulling me into his chest 
"I saw your passport, you had left it out " he explains 
I sigh 
but my heart still pacing its speed 
"Are your sure ,you don't have a story hiding behind your back like those pink panties ?"
