JULIEN

"Yeah, I know" he said "I bought the whole cake, maybe you'll get hungry and your prince charming isn't with you." He gave me a smile and he looked away at the window covering his face from me.

"Whatever, Thanks." he suddenly grabbed and kissed the back of my hand and drive. When we arrived at the Academy's basement, we went for the elevator and he escorted me into my room and opened the door for me, he placed the cake into the fridge. I dived into the bed, Lance took off my shoes and brought a medicine and water from the shelf and thank him.

"Babe, your foot stinks" he teased and laughed "I'm just joking."

"Get out, I'm not in the mood." Laid down and looked at him who is also looking, sitting beside me. "I was thinking, what would you do if someone betrays you?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"Just answer me."

"I don't know" there was silence after he answered "Why?"

"Is 'I don't know' an answer?"

"I think maybe I'll just follow the rules." I stopped, I sit straight into my bed and listened to his answer.

"What rules?"

"That says 'Whoever betrays, life would be the price' " he said "Those are one of the rules that T.S.O follows even before."

"Why death?" I asked "Is there anything else?"

"I don't know, you can ask the book if you want-"

"Lance, I'm not joking."

"I'm sorry..." I took a deep breath and lean over my head on the headboard "Why did you ask, all of the sudden?"

"It just came up into my mind."

"It depends..." I turned my eyes to him and listened "It depends on what kind of betrayal they've done, if he or she betrays me? Betrays the academy."

"Ever since I was a kid, this academy is like my playground together with Aldren. This Academy is not just an Academy, its already part of our history as Users. Also, it is my life."

"What if one of your friends betrayed you?" I asked "What if I am a traitor, will you be able to kill me?"

"Julien..."

"Would you do it, Lance?" he was silent, he just looked at me calmly and sighed. "Why won't you answer?"

"Yes, I'll be able to do it." hearing those words are shock to me, making me regret why I ask those questions to him.

"But you are already part of my life..." he walked closer to me and sat beside "I can't hurt you or kill you because if ever I would do that, it's like I killed the half of me."

"They should pass over my dead body before my dead body before they'll hurt you, Julien." he gave me a comforting smile, and kissed my forehead, Lance phone rang seems like someone is calling him, he picked up his phone answering.

"What do you want? Bryle, I can't hear you. I'll put you on speaker"

Where are you? There's a student here that is looking for you, she said she wants to kill you.

"Bryle, what are you talking about?"

Oh hey, Julien. Where are you guys?

"We're at my dorm, what happened there?"

What?! Why are you guys in there?

"We didn't do anything, Bryle. Please, what's going on?"

Have you heard the news? Someone wants to talk to you and want you dead, she's mad.

"What happened?"

Someone tried to kill Trixie at the gym a while ago while waiting for Amanda, she's still here to talk to you, Lance.

"What? What do you mean?" he stood up and pinch the bridge of his nose trying to calm down "How come someone attacked her? The Academy has a barrier to outsiders."

I don't even know, even the barrier in charge didn't notice something strange or anyone came in- Alright! Alright! Jeez, Lance. Trixie, wanted to talk to you now.

"No need, I'm heading to the office now." he grabbed his jacket at the dresser "Don't give her the phone-"

Mr. Lance Frost! Did you know what happened to me in the gym? I almost died! I thought this Academy has a barrier?!

"It has, it's impossible that there's an outsider that went through it."

Then why is it there's a Black empire came here and attacked me, huh?

"How are you sure that the one who attacked you is from the Black Empire, Trix?"

Duh? There's a raven crest that is left behind, I think she dropped it.

"Okay, I'm heading now." Lance hanged up the phone he sighed in stress in what he heard, I stood up and held his shirt. He turned to look at me and gave me a small smile.

"Lance, I'll come with you"

"No, stay here. You need to rest, you need it." I ignored him and wore the shoes lance took off while ago.

"I didn't ask for permission, I'll come with you."

AMANDA

"How is he?"

"Well, he's okay now, he'll wake up soon." I nodded and looked at Terrence that is peacefully sleeping right now. He's looking better than a while ago.

"Also, Ms. Perez." I looked at the Nurse "There's a new shirt here for Mr. Sutcliffe to wear when he wakes up."

She went out already, and I sat down by a chair next to Terrence. He's doing fine now and he's sleeping peacefully, I gave him some space and looked around the clinic. It's quite big, the stuff's here are complete. I looked into my reflection in the mirror and saw some dirt on my face, by the time when I wiped my face.

I looked into my eyes, at first glace something was wrong and different but when I blinked it was nothing.

"That's weird."

"Amanda." I turned around where it came from, it was Terrence. He was standing in front of me and he already changed his shirt.

"You're already awake, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine now, thank you for bringing me here and for guarding me here as well."

"Oh, that was nothing. You look like you're dying when I saw you, you were bleeding like a lot" he just stares at me with his brows knitted together, I felt the awkwardness in this room on both of us.

"I should've not said that."

"Who cares, what's important now is that I'm alive." he walked outside the clinic leaving me behind.

"Looks like he's not really thankful for bringing him here." Suddenly the door opens again from where he went out, it's him standing there.

"Are you going to stay here forever?" I quickly went out together with him, as I got outside there's two people running towards us.

"Terrence!" it was Mindy and Nicholas that is running towards us "Just as I thought, you are here, Lance is looking for you."

"He wanted to talk about what happened earlier." Nicholas said "Also, the whole campus is under alert, Amanda you can take your rest for now."

"She's coming with us." we all looked at him "I'm sure Lance wanted to see her also, she also saved my life."

"But, is it okay for her to come with us? What if Lance-"

"No but's, you're coming with us Amanda."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

For four years, I traced the bullet scar on Chace’s chest, believing it was proof he would bleed to keep me safe. On our anniversary, he told me to wear white because "tonight changes everything." I walked into the gala thinking I was getting a ring. Instead, I stood frozen in the center of the ballroom, drowning in silk, watching him slide his mother's sapphire onto another woman's finger. Karyn Warren. The daughter of a rival family. When I begged him with my eyes to claim me, to save me from the public humiliation, he didn't flinch. He just leaned toward his Underboss, his voice amplified by the silence. "Karyn is for power. Ember is for pleasure. Don't confuse the assets." My heart didn't just break; it incinerated. He expected me to stay as his mistress, threatening to dig up my dead mother’s grave if I refused to play the obedient pet. He thought I was trapped. He thought I had nowhere to go because of my father’s massive gambling debts. He was wrong. With shaking hands, I pulled out my phone and texted the one name I was never supposed to use. Keith Mosley. The Don. The monster under Chace's bed. *I am invoking the Blood Oath. My father’s debt. I am ready to pay it.* His reply came three seconds later, buzzing against my palm like a warning. *The price is marriage. You belong to me. Yes or No?* I looked up at Chace, who was laughing with his new fiancée, thinking he owned me. I looked down and typed three letters. *Yes.*

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

The Billionaire's Secret Twins: Her Revenge

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
