Upon seeing the protests held in front of the betting company, a frown settled on Arya's face and mine. Isn't the betting just and fair? What are these sets of people protesting for?Something suddenly clicked in my head.For a group of people to come together to protest, I knew things weren't simple.Nobody will suddenly decide to protest unless someone has secretly instigated hatred. That person must've planned to use the crowd's hatred to attack me.Since everyone had bet a lot of money against me because they thought I'd lose, that person wanted to take advantage of my sudden winnings. Now the crowd had been successfully goaded.However, when they were placing their bet, shouldn't they know it's win or lose? Why will I purposely lose in the fight with Lorelei if I'm strong? Am I crazy? Also, no one knew I'd be fighting with the rogues as my second trial, right? So, is there a reason to pretend? I wonder who's instigating the crowd. I sneered. None of them came forward to congratu
"Wyatt." I tried to whisper in a calm tone, but his cold gaze that bore into me sent shivers down my spine and made my voice shaky.I bit my lower lip and quickly stood up. I subtly took a glimpse at his face before looking away quickly due to nervousness.I fiddled with my fingers and gazed in another direction in nervousness due to feeling the cold pressure that exuded from Wyatt's whole being.My mind began to spurn a variety of thoughts. Why is Wyatt here? Is he here to get me? But is that possible…"You won't come home if I don't get you, will you?" Wyatt stopped right in front of me and towered over me. His voice was chilling and condensing to the bone, and there was an authoritative and domineering pressure oozing out of him.I was stunned! Wyatt's arrival was really intended for me.Immediately, my eyes darted around guiltily. After all, Wyatt was right.Just as I did last week, I have no intention of returning to his mansion. I paused my lips and lowered my head.Isn't it Wya
In the chat interface lay a video from Rex with the tag: used this. Used what? I knitted my brows and clicked on the video.A video of me on my first day of training with the rogues immediately began to play; a few seconds later, it changed and showed the scene where I was asked to battle with multiple rogues at the same time. After a few seconds, the video was changed to another one.The videos kept playing and changing until the last training I had with Rex. All the scenes involved only the rogues and me; no image of Rex popped up.I closed my eyes, feeling warmth, and strange emotions crept into my heart. When did Rex take videos of this? How did he know what happened? I felt all sorts of emotions surge through me.I knew no one would sincerely care for me like Rex did, and it brought tears to my eyes.A strong urge to see him invaded my mind. I wanted to run toward Rex, hug him, and tell him that he was the best. I opened my eyes and quickly typed. 'Where are you, Rex?''Busy.' R
'I think I'll be cooking a meal on Sunday. Tell me what you want to eat; I'll prepare it for you.' I typed and sent a text to Arya as soon as I got into my room.Arya had told me to cook for her as a form of appreciation, but because I'd been busy, I was unable to. Now that I had the chance to cook, I decided to pay Arya back.'Really? Great! I've been craving it for a long time.' Arya sent immediately with a smiling emoji.I chuckled at Arya's exaggerated response. How can she crave what she hasn't eaten before? What if I don't know how to cook in the first place? So dramatic!'I'll be there tomorrow! Love you.' Arya texted again.'Ok, we'll go to the market tomorrow.' I texted and left Arya's chat interface.I quickly tapped on the forum, intending to upload the video Rex had sent to me, so I could clear my name.Surprisingly, numerous messages flooded my account as soon as I logged into the forum.My brows knitted in confusion, yet I tapped on the official Power Axis Pack account,
Immediately, I sprang up, causing Wyatt to raise his head and arch his brows.My stomach churned, and I felt a sense of dizziness wash over me. How can I make such a silly mistake? Do I have a death wish?"I'm satiated." I quickly blurted out a lie without eating to my satisfaction or finishing my portion of food. Wyatt's eyes darkened immediately, and it made me shiver out of fear.Immediately, I fled from the dining room without waiting for his reply. I quickly bolted into my room and closed the door before locking it.I bit my lower lip and paced about the room anxiously. How can I make such mistakes? How can I be so low-guarded in front of him? Have I forgotten his identity?I facepalm myself. To think I almost let out a secret to him.Wyatt hasn't brought up my identity issues since that time, and I don't think he investigated me either; what if my actions ended up making him suspicious, and he decided to investigate me? I'm literally dead. I ruffled my head and fell on the bed l
"Where's my sweet wolf? It's definitely not this stinky wolf that's tearing me apart. Oh no, I miss my pretty and sweet Maia, who cares for me and comforts me. My Maia also stood by me no matter the type of danger lurking by, different from this stinky little wolf that had been talking to me." I cried out pitifully, using my mind-link. Maia scoffed. "You're being dramatic now. Better get ready before Wyatt thinks you're not coming down because you find him scary." She chided in a gentle tone.I sat up immediately. I couldn't believe that I'd forgotten the important things to do."Yes, right? Aw. My sweet Maia is back. Maia, whenever that devilish Maia is there, please alert me before I get high blood pressure due to shock." I playfully warned and got off the bed. I began to make my way out of the room.Maia snorted at my words, but she suddenly smiled. "I'm glad. Filippa, you're changing. You're becoming bubbly again. I hope it'll be permanent this time, and we'll really recover perm
"Good morning. Did you miss me? I'm sure you did!" The cheerful voice of Arya, coupled with her opening the door to my room, woke me up from sleep.I opened my eyes drowsily, stunned for a few seconds. Has time ticked that fast?Wyatt and I continued to watch the series late into the night, and if it were left to me, I would've continued watching the series.However, Wyatt had made me eat dinner before sending me upstairs strictly, unbothered about my vivid reluctance, but still, I didn't expect to sleep this late.I took a glimpse at the wall, and I discovered that it was twenty-one minutes after four o'clock.I heaved a sigh and rubbed my eyes gingerly, so it wasn't that I slept late; rather, Arya had been an exceptionally early bird. How come she arrived at dawn?I yawned and naturally went deeper into the bed in case Arya planned to sleep on it, which Arya did.Arya immediately took off her shoes and got onto the bed while smiling. Since the blanket was a big one, it was big enou
'Hi, Rex, can we meet before 12:00 a.m.?' I quickly typed and sent the text while making my way down the stairs.I was about to tuck my phone into my pocket when my phone buzzed. I smiled and quickly unlocked my phone.'For you.' I beamed upon seeing Rex's reply.'Ok.' I typed and placed my phone in my pocket before descending the stairs. Since I'll be in charge of cooking everyone's chosen meal today, I woke up earlier.After we returned from the market, Asher insisted on sleeping in Wyatt's mansion, so everyone was present. I don't want them to eat breakfast at a late hour because of me.I couldn't help smiling. In fact, this is the first time I have willingly wanted to cook. Every time, I was being forced to...My legs slowly came to a stop, and my nose scrunched up at the familiar scent. Why is he here? Shouldn't he be with his wife? My face contorted into a frown."I'm also hungry." Oswald leaned back on the chair, grinned mischievously, and expressed himself before I could even
