It's my first day of school as a simple student of MU. This school is very popular and only rich students can afford to study here. I'm also one of them, being rich is very frustrating because your parents always put pressure in you so you don't have a choice but to do what they say and meet the standards they want because of the reason they're always saying it's good for you, good for you my ass!. "Mira!" she said to me sapphire. She's my best friend since I was grade 7 "What? Is there any gossip?” I open here "It's terrible! but have you heard?" it's gossip "Which one was heard?" I answered "The 5 handsome sons of the owner of this school will be going to transfer here" This is a story that makes me frown. Why is he telling me this story? what do I care? psh! "Uh okay" I replied bored here "Okay? that's all?" it whined "Why? what do you want me to sa-" What I was about to say was interrupted by the laughter of the entire student body in the incoming black Ferrari car. 'omg they're here' 'hey, look at me, am I beautiful?' I saw their picture in there old school and they're all handsome I heard a whisper so sapphire and I stopped walking "I think they're here" said the person next to me, she looks excited like others The men got out of the Ferrari more and more because I covered my ears "oh boys, you're finally here" met immediately by the dean, I stared at them and I can't deny the fact that they really had good faces, handsome indeed huh! I was staring at the idiot next to me, so I immediately elbowed him, causing him to return to the correct posture "ses ampopogi nga" it screamed my gosh my ears hurt "do you know them?" I asked here "Of course, I'm a fan of those guys" he answered which made me wince, really a fan? It's a good thing as long as there's no mistake. And it started to teach and introduce men "That's Javier, he's the eldest among them" he pointed to the man in a white polo tucked into his black pants, he was wearing specs and his hair was brushed up and his face was emotionless. "It's hard to joke because you might be embarrassed because you'll be the only one laughing," Sapphire added "Larsen is the second one of them" he pointed to the man wearing a black plain shirt and black jogger pants with matching black shades who looked as if he had died. "That's really weird, he likes it because it's black, and it's been talked about that it's quiet, but it's the devil's behavior" he added because I seem to wince at the color of his clothes because it's all black, are you stupid? "That's Xavier, he's the third one, just be careful, he's a bad boy and it's been rumored that he's always full of guidance in the states. He's always a bully, whether it's a boy or a girl, I bet he'll find a target now." He pointed to the man who looked like anytime. puncher He's wearing a black vest and ripped jeans with black boots and also has tattoos on his shoulder "hey, I'll just pray for that next target" Sapphire whispered, he looks like a bad boy and he looks arrogant as well as it makes the blood boil. "That's Keirson" he pointed to the man wearing a black shirt with a layered leather jacket. He's also wearing ripped jeans and has Peirce in his left ear and lower lip. "That's the f*ck boy, many people have complained about states that she got pregnant and this is it! It is rumored that he raped someone because the girl didn't want to have sex with him, so I agree. Just be careful with him because he will make your life miserable when he cheats on you." "And lastly that's Keiron, keirson's twin brother they're the youngest among their pacts" he pointed to the smiling man who looked like he was wearing a shirt, he was wearing a white printed shirt dark blue jeans with matching white sneakers and specs "He's the kindest among them, that's a smile and I know what's causing his twin to panic, that's what made him so nice, he's happy to talk to me" im just looking at the five man's talking to dean and doesn't even notice that they're already walking. I'm just looking at them suddenly when the guy named Xavier bumped my shoulder causing me to look at him and mouthed "target unlock" and then he smirked that gave shivers to my spine

On the day Aki was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but his husband, Ethan Montifalco, was taking care of his first love's children. In the hospital corridor, His Doctor Keith Santos said grimly while holding a biopsy report, "Aki, the results are out. If the surgery is successful, your survival rate is 15 to 30 percent." Aki held her bag tightly. Her Little face was pale and solemn. "Keith, how long will I live if I don't have surgery?" "Six months to a year. It's different for everyone. In your case, it's better to do two rounds of pre-therapy first before the surgery. It will prevent the risk of spreading or undergoing metastasis." Aki bit his lip while forcing out, "Thank you." "Don't thank me. I'll arrange for you to be admitted to the hospital right away," Keith said. "There's no need. I don't plan to get treatment. I can't take it anymore," Aki said. "me" Keith wanted to say something more, but Aki tipped his head at him. "Keith, please help me keep this a secret. I don't want my family to worry." The Ford family went bankrupt. Aki had to bend over backwards just to cover her father's medical expenses. If his family knew about his illness, they would no doubt be worried about his situation. Keith sighed helplessly and said, "Don't worry. I'll keep my lips sealed. I heard that you're married. Your husband—" "Keith, please take good care of my dad. I have to go now." Aki seemed very reluctant to talk about this and left quickly before he could answer. Keith shook his head. Rumor had it that he had dropped out of university and secretly married. The top genius in medical school had fallen from grace into devastation. Throughout the two years of his father's treatment, he was the only one who took care of everything. Even when he had collapsed from illness and was sent to the hospital by passersby, but his rumored husband had never shown up. Thinking back, Ethan had truly treated him well in the year they had gotten married. Alas, when his first love returned to the country, everything changed.

Bang! Bang! Loud gunshots all around. I look around to find my son and my wife, they are missing, d*mn. "Daddy Zach!" I heard my son scream at their damn father. A long short story, I will explain it, but soon. "D*mn, baby come here to papa Rus!" I called the twins and they immediately came. "Where is your dad?" I'm nervous to ask here. They are crying. "Okay, shhhh papa Rus is here, don't cry baby." "Papa Rus, dada and papa Zach are missing.." cried one of the twins. "Okay, I'll find them okay?" He nodded while wiping away the tears. I really need to find them, especially my Sail. "Stay here and don't ever go out okay?" I kissed them both on the forehead before leaving. I never thought that one of our enemy's men would be able to shoot me, I was shot in the shoulder. I saw Sail on the side, he was sitting with his yellow hands covering his ears, I look at Zach who is fighting Helvet, our enemy. I first shot the gun at the person standing next to me, it hit him right. "Sail! Shhh let's go!" I tried to pull it but he didn't want to leave Zach. "No! Zach, Zach is here I won't leave him!" I sighed and carried him in a bridal style, it was struggling but I was strong, I lowered it to where the twins were hiding. "Please Rus, bring Zach back." I slowly nod even though feeling a heavy feeling inside my chest. He loves Zach. I went to the devil who was shooting a while ago. "Zach! Let's go!" I called here during the shooting, when he saw me he yelled at me angrily. "F*ck you left them?!" He responded angrily to me. "Sail wants me to go back with you so shut up!" I left there to go to Sail but then... Helvet... he was holding the twins while Sail was lying on his chin, Sail is dead... and my son in his tummy... my son.. yes Sail is pregnant with my child.

It's my first time here! Admins will approve, hehe. As soon as I entered the mansion, someone immediately threw an egg at my face. I gasped and wiped my face in disbelief. And later someone rode behind me and bit the other side of my shoulder. "AHH! Oh my! It hurts!" "Good heavens! Marcus and Maria! Let him go!" "No! She's an intruder." The children did not stop me and continued to trouble me. I almost cried. I just got my hair done and rebonded. I thought it must be required that you have a beautiful mother, I didn't know that now I'm haggard. "Enough." Came a cold voice from the top of the stairs. We all looked up at the man together. And I'm not going to lie, he's handsome! Is he the father of the children who will be my children? If it's true, he's literally daddy. yum Char. "She's your mom." "What?" Everyone with me was shocked and so was I. Everyone fell silent and we watched as the tall man walked toward us. And I just caught my breath when he came next to me and suddenly pulled me by the waist towards him. My eyes widened and I didn't know what to do. And the man made me even more nervous when he brought his lips to my ear. "Do your work properly," He said in a deep voice. I swallowed and nodded to myself. That's right. I'm gonna be a mom. I'm a mom. Even though I was nervous, I stood up straight and faced the man. And he looked like he was caught off guard when I suddenly grabbed both of his cheeks and pressed him with a kiss. "I miss you, baby." Wait.. Did I do the right thing? "Merciful heaven!"

"600,000" a fat man, next to a yellow woman who is now currently holding the man's leg. "1 million" shouted a thin man. The crowd was silent. "1 million once, 1 million twice, 1 million... "10 million" shouted a man in a dark corner. Like a dark corner, he is as dark as his aura. 10 𝖲33 millions! "10 million once, 10 million twice, 10 million sold to Mr. Hawton" "Goodluck" 𝗒𝗒𝗎𝗒𝗌𝗌 𝖻r𝗈𝗈𝗄𝗄𝗄 "Follow me" the man commanded in a deep voice. "faster!" he added so I hurried to walk.
