Ice Tray Fresh Prince

On Christmas Eve, my uncle, Adam Stewart, took a sip of the expensive wine I bought and pointed at me, laughing. "A child’s nature really shows early. When she was little, she wet the bed. Now that she's all grown up, she's working as a content creator in her parents' store. "She can't compare to my daughter, Erin Stewart, who has a secure job with guaranteed income. Because you're running a small business, your family will starve if you were to come across the smallest hurdle!" All the relatives at the dining table laughed. Erin pretended to play with her phone, but she was grinning. My parents just smiled politely, at a loss for what to do. I looked icily at Uncle Adam. There were still six hours before the ice apocalypse arrived and the global zombie crisis broke out. In my previous life, Uncle Adam, who always looked down on us, pushed my entire family into the zombie horde to seize my parents' supermarket. This time, I would not let him get away with it. I had just grabbed the plate, ready to smash it over Uncle Adam's head, when a crisp notification rang in my mind. "Ding! Rage Points System has been bound. The host can obtain resources by retaliating. The more shameless you are, the stronger you become!" Looking at Uncle Adam's smug face, I laughed. "Yeah, I don't know anything, but I just recalled something. Uncle Adam, you were arrested by the anti-prostitution squad when you went to Los Anglos on a business trip eight years ago, weren't you? Does Aunt Leanne know about this?"

Ang akala ng prinsipe, madali lang kontrolin si Lian. Bodyguard lang naman niya ito dati. Pero ang totoo, inalok niya ito ng kasal para pagtakpan ang matagal na niyang relasyon sa isang babae, isang sikretong ayaw niyang mabunyag sa kanyang maharlikang pamilya. Pero nagkamali siya. Habang patagal nang patagal ang pagsasama nila, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob ng prinsipe kay Lian. Sa araw-araw na bangayan, asaran, at hindi inaasahang mga lambingan. Napalapit sila sa isa’t isa. Pero paano kung mabunyag ang sikreto ng prinsipe? Tatanggapin pa rin ba siya ni Lian lalo't dinadala na nito ang anak niya? O mas pipiliin nitong tumakbo palayo at bumalik sa dating buhay?
