I got home, exhausted, and the first thing I did was crash heavily onto the bed. I tried my best to push Ruby out of my mind, knowing that dwelling on her would affect my emotions. Yet, something about her behavior seemed off, and I found myself preoccupied with future events rather than the present.

This card, I thought, suddenly sitting up and holding it aloft. Why don't I derive happiness from visiting the tourist attractions I noted while sightseeing on Drake's helicopter? And what about those places I wish to visit that aren't typical tourist attractions?

Like someone driven by an insatiable curiosity, I sprang to my feet and headed out. I grabbed the evening bus, its headlights illuminating the darkening streets as it headed towards the Hall of Whispers.

Drake's POV

"Hello, Sir," Joe's voice rang in through the phone call.

"Daisy seems to be making a tourist visit to the Hall of Whispers," he replied, his tone neutral.

    As he finished speaking, I felt a sudden jolt, and the world around me began to fade away. I was snapped out of the vision and found myself back in the present, gasping for breath as if I had been underwater for too long.The Hall of Whispers, unlike the desolate darkness I had left it in, was now bathed in the warm, golden glow of candlelight. The oppressive presence that had surrounded me was gone, and I noticed that Harry was standing motionless, his eyes vacant. It seemed his spirit had been transported to another realm, just like mine.As I watched, Harry's eyes flickered back to life, and he took a deep breath, his expression a mask of calmness. "You must have seen your future a bit," I declared, trying to break the silence."Yes, and..." Harry's voice trailed off, and I caught a glimpse of deep sadness in his eyes before he quickly masked it. I sensed that he was struggling to come to terms with what he had seen."There's no need to say what you don't want to," I replied, my v

    "What a bad way to welcome your husband," he replied with a chuckle, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "What are you doing here in the city?" I asked, still trying to process the surprise of seeing him. "Well, I came for business," Sam replied, his expression turning serious. "You always want me to be serious with my life, and now I am." "What business are you doing as a slave?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. But Sam's expression turned stern, and he raised his hands, palms facing me. "You don't need to worry about that," he said firmly. "And mind you, don't use the word 'slave' on me again?" I was taken aback by his reaction, but my eyes widened in shock as I took in the sight of his hands. The slave bands were gone! "What the...?" I trailed off, stunned. "How did you get rid of it?" I asked, my mind racing with questions. "Whitewater has been underestimated for too long despite being strong. I found a way around it," Sam said with a smile, his eyes gleaming

    My mind reeled in shock. The president and the first lady were dead? But there had been no news about it online. And the Immortal had killed them? I couldn't wrap my head around it. And what's more, he was declaring a lock in power with Drake, which meant Drake must be incredibly strong. But I shouldn't be surprised; he was a Whitewater, after all, a pack rumored to be perhaps the strongest to have ever existed. Drake scoffed again, his expression twisted in disdain. "Did you think I care about the president and that useless woman?" he spat, his words sending another shockwave through me. “Your existence poses a greater threat to this country, which is why you should die,” Drake concluded, his tone cold and detached. “I am leaving. Get stronger, acquire more skills and experience, and challenge me,” he retorted, before disappearing into thin air. I quickly got back into the Lamborghini, switching from the driver's seat to the passenger seat. Drake entered the car, his eyes narrow

    4 months later Daisy's POV I stood before the entire class in the D Hall building, named after Drake. Mr. Oparah had managed to delay the presentation once again, citing his busy business schedule. Drake, who rarely attended lectures, had instructed me to keep him updated on the day of the presentation. To my right stood the high table, comprising esteemed individuals from the institution. Surprisingly, Drake was among them. I shouldn't have been surprised, though, given his success as a businessman and potential major shareholder. As I stood alongside my fellow presenters, each took turns delivering their presentations. When it was finally my turn, I presented confidently. However, unlike the other presenters, who received applause, I was met with silence. I felt a pang of shame, my face growing hot with embarrassment. As I stood there, someone from the crowd suddenly stood up, and to my surprise, it was Sam, but what caught me off guard even more was that Drake also rose to hi

    FLASHFORWARD"Get out of my way!" The enemy yelled, and I was forced to glance back. Fane lay dead in a pool of his own blood. Terrified, I started running faster. "Damn it," I muttered, "it's just a matter of time before he catches up with me." This cursed band on my hand was limiting my speed to human levels. I looked back to see he had almost caught up with me. I tried to increase my speed, but it was no use. "Just a little more," I urged myself, "and I'll be in Drake's Penthouse." Suddenly, he outran me, now standing in front of me. I attempted to dodge him, but he grabbed me, and I tried to break free, to no avail. "How about a little nap?" He sneered, his voice dripping with malice, as he brought a handkerchief close to my nose. I tried to dodge it, but it was futile. He used it to cover my nose, and before I knew it, I felt myself falling asleep, unwillingly, blacking out. The last thing I remembered was letting Drake's black card slip out of my hand. And then, everything went

"Come forward and collect your student's badge and other property.""Privilege? Tsk," I scoffed as everybody around gasped. The president was visibly boiling in anger. Even the driver was looking in surprise. He must be surprised to see how bold I am."I will die anyway in this school, why don't I quicken things up now?" I added."Then you will," The werewolf president said, as powers were emanating around him in anger. The energy was reaching where I am. Why am I able to sense his power, is the band weakening or something. (Special ability: Sensory Ability possessed by

    The next day, I arrived at the school. As I entered through the gate, the gateman shot me a perplexed look."Pay attention, old man. Someone wants to enter." I declared moving forward.I surveyed the school grounds, which were the largest and most beautiful I had ever seen. The buildings were of various designs and vibrant colors. According to the letter I received, I was supposed to meet someone here today, but I had no idea where to find her.Hesitating, I called out to someone passing by. "Hello! Please, I need to meet Mrs. Spiff in the admissions office.""Where are your manners, slave?" was her reply. "Thank your stars. I'm in a hurry today; otherwise, I would have hosted your funeral." She hurried away before I could respond. It seems everyone already knows about my identity, well what did I expect? Determined, I looked for the designated building, catching sight of it from a distance. It stood proudly, painted in royal blue and pure white, with "Admissions Building" inscribed i

    As the guards attempted to carry out her order, I stood my ground, a fierce determination burning within me. "You might want to consider who sent me before you lose your job," I declared, my voice firm and authoritative.I stretched out my hand, holding out a sleek black card. The receptionist's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the card's significance."What the heck?" she exclaimed. "This is a Black Bloody Exclusive Card with no spending limit, and it's owned by Sir Drake!"As soon as the guards heard Drake's name, they hastily retreated to their original positions, their faces pale with fear. The receptionist's demeanor also underwent a drastic change, her expression transforming from anger to obsequiousness."I am sorry for my earlier rude behavior," the receptionist apologized, her voice laced with contrition."You should be," I replied, my tone firm but polite."I am here to conduct research for a business p

Despite her evident distress, she was impeccably dressed for lecture. I passed her without a word.Daisy POVAs I settled onto the black couch, I decided to dial Ruby's number, hoping she had made a mistake or was having second thoughts. But the call wouldn't go through. Our friendship wasn't built on phone calls; I needed to hear it from Ruby's lips to finally move on.As the first lecture began, I drifted off to sleep, exhausted from the previous night's wakefulness. By the time I woke up, the last class of the day was about to conclude. I had slept for hours without knowing.As soon as the lecture ended, I stood up, determined to confront Ruby about her decision.
