I didn't want you and Mom fighting every day. Brady finally snapped back to himself and pulled Owen into his arms. Gently patting his back, he tried to comfort him. "So you were the one who hit Uncle Gideon first? And he only pushed you after that? "And the glass on the floor... that was because you threw the cup at him?" Owen looked up at Brady's serious expression and answered honestly. "Yes." Brady's hand froze midair. Slowly, he turned toward the window, lost in thought.

"I dislike silly brain games." He got a little closer to me before saying, "I can promise you that this is not a game." Pedro always seems to leave a trail of dead bodies behind him. A few seconds passed, and the atmosphere shifted in an indefinable manner, yet it remained tense and agitated. And then, quite suddenly, Jerome's demeanor mellowed, quite similarly to how it had done in the hotel room. I don't want you to join the ranks of those people.

I stood, nodded to the guard, and walked back to my cell. Jonathan would know about this visit within the hour. That was the thing about people who played these games…they always underestimated how far ahead the other side was already thinking. And Jonathan Hart was always thinking.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Rachel said, raising her brows. "I take gaming very seriously, and besides I live with destructive humans who couldn't maintain a toy for three days when they were four, now they are all grown up, they will wreck this place before I turn twenty five," Yandel said, inputting the password. The game room was on fire, it was lit with a LED purple light that surrounded the top angle of the walls, there was an xbox 360, a 5D game, glow hockey board, a makeshift basketball half court, it now made a lot of sense why the house was so huge.

It was big, more like a master’s bedroom. “It’s one of our family's conjugal property.” Tobi explained. “Nobody owns it but everyone in the family can use it.” I nodded as I watched him settle our things in the cabinet. “How long are we going to be here?” I asked then sat on the bed. He pressed both of his lips together. “I think 3 days. Matt arranged some programs for his birthday party.” I nodded once again. “Are you hungry?” Tobi asked as he finished setting down the things in the cabinet.

Dominating the room was a large, plush couch that curved in the shape of a C, providing ample seating for multiple guests. Additionally, there was a sturdy poker table ready for card enthusiasts, and several arcade machines lined the walls, offering a nostalgic burst of fun. Beyond the game room, the house featured a functional laundry room, a well-equipped home gym for workouts, a luxurious steam room for relaxation, and a quiet library filled with shelves of books from floor to ceiling.

"Somehow it doesn't affect their work but damn it's annoying when they pile into my house to play." "This isn't the first time they kicked you out to play games?", he asked. "No, it is not the first time nor will it be the last. The only difference is this place is, well, rather small. My house, on the other hand, I can put all the gaming things in the basement, and it is pretty much sound proof. I may see them the next day, but everything is okay because I don't hear any of it.", she stated. "Why don't they just get the games for themselves?", he asked.

Larissa's mind was still foggy and she did not reply immediately. Wendy explained, "With the lockdown in place, people can't go out to have fun. They can only stay home and watch dramas or play games! The biggest and most comprehensive streaming site online is VisualBox. It's owned by Microworks Corporations. Exclusive content can only be unlocked by paying for a membership. As for games, the top three most downloaded games on the leaderboards were developed by Microworks Corporation as well. I heard that the gaming department of Microworks Corporations made billions in revenue in just the first week of the lockdown!"

Quinn couldn't quite understand. "Well... Listen, your grandfather doesn't like games at all. He says it's a waste of time. It's prohibited in this house.. And so, to satisfy his craving for playing games, your father came up with this idea." Nicole went over to sit down. The gaming room was like a living room. Game consoles were at a corner, laptops... Computers, and a large TV. The sofas were arranged in a manner that would allow the gamer play his game comfortably. There was even a fridge, a bathroom, and a kitchen!
