LOGINMILAN, ITALY – VICTOR’S COMPANY OFFICE – The rain hit the glass wall of the 22nd floor like thrown coins. Milan was dark outside, but Victor’s office was bright, cold, and silent except for the hum of the air conditioner. Victor leaned back in his black leather chair. His company, Varetti Holdings, was quiet at this hour. Most of the staff had left two hours ago. On his desk: three signed contracts, a half-drunk espresso, and a folder marked “Project CLOSED”. He ran his hand over his face. He left California Two weeks ago without his family notice,Two weeks of no sleep. Two weeks of dodging calls, especially his mother. The door opened without a knock.And a woman walked in like she owned the building. Heels clicking on marble. Red dress. Hair pulled back. A woman in her early 30s, sharp eyes, sharper smile. “Victor,” she said. Victor didn’t stand, hi only watch her get ckose“We don’t have appointments after 7pm, Ms. DeLuca.”She ignored that. Crossed the room in four steps,
[THREE DAYS LATER, MONDAY MORNING~SPG UNIVERSITY]It Monday morning and a new week , it game day today.All klitz girls chose skating as their game except Zenni and pania the footballer.Zenni's weight makes skating hard for her, so she chose golf.But they all use the same Wardrobe Suite, and as they wore their varsity regalia (sports wear), their chats flew around."Try not to get into anything with the two new student ." Stacy said, wearing net stockings under her skirt."To get Remo off our tail?" Pania scoffed. "Oh please, those guys were just aura‑farming. They did it to get more points for themselves from the students. You don't hear how the students are praising them?""I support Pania. I mean...they had no reason to do it for us, so stop your delusions, Stacy. Don't join Zenni and start crushing." Jehlani said."Crushing? You're going too far, Lani." Beatrice smiled. "Lani, you and Pania should become twin sisters already." Pasha replied, turning her back on Beatrice who hel
The entire plaza went silent immediately, students pushed forward despite security's attempts to hold them back. Everyone wanted a better view. Everyone wanted to witness the scene. Water dripped from Colt's hair to Beatrice boobs she jump away from him and Colt step out, his black shirt dripping as he climbed out of the pool. His jaw remained clenched. Beatrice emerged from the water seconds later. Her perfectly styled hair was ruined. Her makeup was smudged. Her clothes were soaked.She looked furious.Absolutely furious.The crowd wisely stayed out of her path.Louis stood nearby the shock hit him hard that he could barely breathe.Across the plaza, Remo watched the scene unfold with dark eyes. Nothing was going according to plan. He had wanted Colt embarrassed.Instead, the entire campus seemed obsessed with him.Every conversation.Every camera.Every pair of eyes.All focused on Colt,the realization burned. Zenni remained frozen among the crowd. Her heart still hadn't
As Remo dropped the bomb,the entire plaza erupted into noise,some students laughed.Others immediately began chanting Beatrice's name.The giant screen overhead flashed brightly while the spinning wheel remained frozen on the names.BEATRICE.REMO.Remo stood in the middle of the crowd with a smug smile on his face.He looked completely satisfied with himself.Unfortunately for him, Beatrice wasn't impressed.Not even slightly.She folded her arms and stared at him like he was something unpleasant she had stepped on."You really spent all that time thinking of a pathetic dare?" she asked.The crowd gasped.Remo's smile twitched "A dare is a dare.""No." Beatrice stepped forward "A dare is supposed to be entertaining."Students immediately began whistling.Some shouted her name,others started recording.Across the plaza, Florian nearly laughed himself sick "Oh, she's good."Colt remained silent beside him,as usual.His expression never changed.The noise around him seemed unable to affe
[Bel-Air Plaza, 10:20 PM] The anniversary party was already in full swing,students filled the massive plaza like bees swarming a honeycomb. There was barely enough space to walk,music thundered through hidden speakers built into the walls, vibrating across every corner of the building. Large banners and screens displayed pictures of Jehlani and Louis celebrating their one-year anniversary. None of the photos were innocent,some showed them kissing passionately, theirs showed them partying, vacationing, and living the wild lifestyle everyone on campus envied. Right now, as Gasolina blasted through the speakers, Jehlani and Louis stood on top of a long table. Both were soaked in alcohol,students screamed and cheered as they danced shamelessly, pouring liquor over each other's bodies. The atmosphere only grew crazier when several strippers climbed onto the table, Jehlani immediately sat down while the dancers began performing around her. She laughed loudly, smacking their hip
Trinidad and Roxy exchanged surprised glances.Elmira hardly attended social gatherings unless there was something valuable to gain.Or someone valuable to meet.Roxy folded her paint-stained arms."Since when are you interested in anniversary parties?"Elmira smiled,the smile was small.Dangerous "Might be fun.""Fun?" Trinidad laughed. "You don't even know what that word means."Elmira ignored her.Her gaze remained fixed on the direction Colt had disappeared.Roxy noticed immediately "Oh."Elmira raised a brow."Oh what?""I know that look.""You know nothing.""I know enough." Trinidad's eyes widened."No way."Roxy pointed dramatically."Exactly."Elmira rolled her eyes and walked past them.[Garage]Colt arrived at the garage,the place was alive with noise.Engines,Metal,Tools,Arguments.The usual.Matteo spotted him immediately "There he is!"Several mechanics looked up.A few began clapping sarcastically.Others whistled.Colt frowned "What?"Matteo burst into laughter "The celeb

[Mass Comm Lounge]It’s been thirty minutes since the voting came to an end, and the campus is practically empty except for the Klitz Society.Four of 'em are sitting in their individual spaces with disappointed, mad looks.Zenni leaned on a desk. She tried to act nonchalant—look unbothered, but sh
The morning sun had barely risen when Richard Cross's trusted assistant arrived at the abandoned storage district.Rows of forgotten warehouses stretched across the area like ghosts from the past.Most of the buildings had long been abandoned.Silence hung heavily in the air.The assistant checked t
Krystal stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror.She looked terrible.Dark circles lingered beneath her eyes, and no amount of makeup could hide the exhaustion on her face.Just one night, she had barely slept.Anytime she closed her eyes, she remembered him.The stranger,She didn't know his
