THE CONQUEST LIST CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
BREAK UP?ANDREW'S HOUSE, 9AM."Drew, what's up, I called you a several times and you didn't answer. Where have you been man?" Evans asked as Andrew stepped in and Miller also nodded in question at him."Silas Grey was here for dinner with Robin and I last night. As usual he got me mad, so I took Robin to cool off, we spent the night together," Andrew replied before taking a seat on one of the couches in the living room."What? Silas Grey, your father was here, why? Wait a minute, you still went ahead to sleep with Robin? Damn man, you're a scum bag," Evans said, surprised."Why is he a scum bag? Wasn't that the plan, I thought he actually forgot about it, but of course Andrew is such a great player. That's great man, how was it? That girl must have been really good, come on tell us, when will you dump her? Damn I wasn't expecting you to win the bet this time, that means you get to keep my new car. Give me a high five man, we have to celebrate this night!" Miller rambled."As much as

UNAVOIDABLE ATTRACTIONANDREW'S APARTMENT, 10PM."Robin told us that you guys broke up, what happened?" Stacey demanded in a frosty tone.Andrew explained everything that happened to them and pleaded, "Please just help me set up a meeting with Robin, she can't just leave me like that, we love each other. She said she never wants to see me again, but she works for me and the club needs her,""Why should we do that? You mean you're so cruel that you still want to succeed in your evil plans for her, despite everything?" Clara asked in a clipped tone."There's no plan anymore, just please help me out. Stacey for the sake of our friendship all this time, help me to meet her.""Okay, I will, but I'm only doing this because I know I've never seen you this way and you're probably not lying, but don't think that I trust you. If you try anything funny, I'll forget that you're my family's benefactor, got it?""Sure thank you so much Stace, I knew I could count on you. Now here's what I have in m

HIS STORYANDREW'S OFFICE, 3:30PM.Andrew stood in front of the glass windows with his hands in his pockets, his back to Robin. The memories being too painful for him, he didn't want Robin to see how hurt he was by all that had happened in the past."My parents, Silas and Christina Grey got married due to an unexpected pregnancy. Mum was only twenty three and Silas twenty six." Andrew paused and led her to take a seat with him on the couch. He drank some water, before clearing his throat as Robin turned to face him.Andrew continued, "When they first met, Silas had been a womaniser and a party animal. My grandparents had tried all they could to get him to settle down with a girl of the same upbringing and social status as him, but to no avail. He met mum at the birthday party of a friend of his and was immediately charmed by her. She was working as a waitress in the restaurant, where the party was being held. They had a one night stand and lost contact after that day. Fate brought the

SISTER?BLAZE RESTAURANT, 6PM.Andrew unlocked the car to open the door for Robin before they walked into the fancy new restaurant."Wow, this is Blaze Restaurant! I can't believe you brought me here, Stace has been talking about it. It's so beautiful in here, I love the decorations and I heard they serve very nice food here," Robin exclaimed when they took their table, which Andrew had reserved beforehand.The waiter came in with their order which was some Italian cuisine and after he left, Andrew dug into his food before replying."Yes it's pretty good. I can't believe next week is the regional gaming competition. It came so fast this year, Stanley told me he's finished with most of the work and I just have to finalize some other things. How do you feel to be the mastermind of the game that will surely grant us the trophy?" Andrew fisted his hands as though it were a microphone and raised it up to Robin.She laughed and answered with a laugh "Very proud, I must say."They continued

NEVER LEAVE METHE BLAZE RESTAURANT, 7:30PM"Andrew, Andrew get back here!" Christina yelled."Calm down honey, he's bound to be furious now. He needs some time to think things through, then he'd come around," Silas said with her hand on her shoulder."I know I have no right to butt in but I have to say what you did is almost unforgivable. I haven't known Andrew for too long, but I've seen the pain that he has gone through during his childhood. Even though you weren't a good father to him, you put so much pressure on him to succeed and just to gain acceptance and some love from you, he has strived as much as he could to be as intelligent as he is today, but you kept pushing him away. How could you even lie to him that his mother was in London, when she has been in New York all this time? Were you trying to keep him from knowing how much she didn't care for him? I don't even know who's a worse parent between you both, but I hope you're happy now that you've ruined not only our date ton

THE WHOLE TRUTHTHE GREY MANSION, 6PM, THE NEXT DAY."I told you, you shouldn't have worn the dress and heels, you're obviously uncomfortable in them," Andrew said as he and Robin got down from his car in his father's garage.Andrew had finally decided to visit his parents and listen to their side of the story, just for Robin's sake alone.Though he had told her to wear whatever she was comfortable in, she decided to wear something lady like to impress his parents.Her dress was something she borrowed from Clara, a purple, mid length, halter necked dress with sequins at the chest area which she paired with a black purse and matching stilettos.Andrew was totally unable to understand her need to portray an image that was not hers to his parents. Fine Robin liked wearing jeans and T-shirts, but he was totally okay with that, so what was the need to pretend like she liked dresses in front of his parents?"Come on Andrew, don't tell me I don't look good in them," Robin asked with a grave

THE WHOLE STORY PT 2THE GREY MANSION, 8PM."You're still as impatient as I can remember, Andy. Your grandparents were very much against our union and wanted me to have an abortion. They threatened me severally till the point where your father finally cut all ties with them and decided to get married to me without their permission. It was a big thing indeed, I was very moved by that decision of his, though I wouldn't have wanted us coming together to mean that he had to lose his family and their powerful name. When you were born and they found out we had a boy, they contacted your dad and pleaded with him and finally we reconciled with them.""After your first birthday, we wanted another child, but the pregnancy just wasn't coming forth. We went for several fertility tests and all, but it was still the same. After trying artificial insemination twice, which all failed, we finally gave up and just decided to settle with never having anymore kids. Then like a miracle when you were six,

HURTING PT 1.THE GREY MANSION, 9PM"Let me answer that, when I left your father, it took a lot of courage to do it. I was convinced that he wascheating on me because I felt that his past playboy lifestyle was something he must have missed. He had been so occupied with work, he was keeping late nights and most times out of the country. I figured that was the reason for his change in attitude and probably he wanted a woman who could give him more children. It's common knowledge that many powerful and influential men like himself, get trapped in the web of manipulating females, who chase after them regardless of their marital status. When I went to London, I changed my writing name to Freya Rain and continued writing children's story books without my picture displayed on the books. I didn't want to be found by your dad, especially after he accused me of infidelity and bringing another man's child into his house." Christina said with a sob.Even after many years, it was still very painf

The beauty of this college seemed to have augmented since the last time I was here two years ago.After admiring the college entrance for about two full minutes, I took out my phone to call Stacey. She and I were still in touch even though I was away in London for the past two years.The previous week when I informed her of the fact that I was done with the graphic designing training that Uncle Joe had enrolled me for and that I was gonna be coming back to AUT, she had screamed in unconcealed excitement and promised to pick me up at the school gate when I arrived.When she had said that, I had asked

RINGS AND KNIVESTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 12 NOON."Yes, you heard me correctly guys, Robin is more qualified than anyone else to play for us in virtual football. I got to know about her amazing skills on the night of our app launch party. She and I played together and she almost beat me, in fact, we eventually settled at equal scores. I think she was going easy on me that night. You know me, I'm not the type to admit that anyone else is better than me, so it takes a lot of courage for me to give Robin this role. If there's anyone who isn't in support of this, please indicate," Andrew said seriously."Jack has told me about her amazing skills, but I never thought she could beat you at your best sport, Drew. If you think she's good, then she must be." Miller teased while laughing."Shut up Mill," Joe playfully hit Miller's shoulder while laughing."Team leaders from The Gators, The Believe Team and Team Ice, please bring your players to the tournament corner.

ROBIN?"And 1. Programmers, please proceed. You have thirty-five minutes to finish all fifty questions. Remember to use at least forty seconds for each question," Alan announced.The Bravers as well as other teams quickly gathered around three computers and started working on the first ten questions.Andrew sat in front of the system for problem-solving while the other Bravers sat behind the two other systems for offence and defence."It seems like Andrew Grey's team are more relaxed this year and their speed this time is also very good," Linda, one of the commentators remarked."Yes, you're right Linda. Oh, wait, it seems like Team Ice is trying to launch an attack on The Braves, but of cause they are quick enough to defend it. It seems like The Bravers came in very prepared!" Alex, the other commentator replied.Robin watched Andrew from where she and the other Bravers sat and never before had she felt so tensed. She watched the frown of concentration on Andrew's face as he solved t

COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMINGTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 11 PM"Why do I feel like Max is gonna retaliate violently?" Robin asked fearfully.The look Andrew gave her had her shivering on the inside."He can't do anything, don't worry about him," Andrew replied, holding her hand."Okay ladies and gentlemen, with that settled, I believe we can all continue with the competition. Bravers, you're free to go back to your seats, thank you. We've wasted enough time indeed," Vanessa said after The Storm Team alongside Harry was led out of the arena."Now that The Storm Team is out of the competition, we have only nine teams left. Jeffery Michaels will give us a report on the top leaders of the first round. This round has a total of thirty points and the next one has a total of forty points. Any team that fails to make up to fifty points from the first two rounds added together, would not qualify for the final round. Are you guys excited to find out which team has won this popularity round?" Alan asked."Yes

DISQUALIFIEDTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:40 AM"You guys can't let this happen to me. Andrew, you can't let them take me away. I've been your friend for such a long time, you can't do this to me!" Harry shouted as the security guards took him by the arms and dragged him away."What do you think they're gonna do to him?" Robin asked I'm fear."It's definitely gonna be what he deserves," Roberto replied.★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENAMax Reed was also dragged up to the stage for questioning and Camila couldn't sit put while her nephew was being maltreated, so she stood up and asked, "Who do you think you're dragging that way? Max is my nephew and I have the feeling that he has been set up by someone. I'm sure that Robin Stevens must have set Max up, she was the one who sold those ideas to him. There must be a mix up somewhere!""Miss Reed I advise you to have your seat and stop giving those remarks. We all just saw the video where your nephew and another student from AUT was talking about how

DAY 1 ONCE AGAINTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:00 AMRobin stepped back from Harry and said, "Let's all go out now. It's 10:00 AM already."Why didn't I get a hug?" Harry frowned."That's because you don't deserve it," Robin replied tartly."Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you once again to The Regional Gaming Competition. As you all know, the competition was scheduled for last week, but due to some misunderstandings, it had to be postponed to this week. Who is excited?" Alan's voice came booming from all the speakers in the arena."I am!" The fans replied, excitedly."The competition has started, can you please keep quiet?" Robin frowned and then all The Bravers focused their attention on the large LED TV in the room, which showed what was happening on stage.★★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENA, 10:02 AMThe fans showed their excitement when the camera focused on their corner as they sprayed confetti and raised thundersticks to cheer their preferred teams on. Some even raised banners with the na

PAPER BAGS AND GUMMY BEARSTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 9:30 AM"Babe, check out who's here to cheer us on!" Andrew said with a smile when Robin opened the door of the room reserved for her in the arena.The competition was to begin in thirty minutes time and all gamers had been given rooms to rest and practice in.She had been working on her increasing the speed of her programming skills. The previous day after the meeting, Harry left, saying he could practice well enough on his own.That left Andrew ensuring that all The Bravers played virtual football matches against one another in pairs. They also made some amendments to Campus Silence, Love Run and SAFE.Robin was indeed tired due to the constant training sessions they all went through all night long and now even with bags under her eyes, she was still very much excited to compete."Who is it?" She asked while rubbing her eyes tiredly after letting Andrew in.Jack then walked into the room with a huge smile and said in a rush, "Hi my cutes

REVELATIONSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12:30 PM"What do you think? Of course, you have to apologize to her. I told you she was innocent, but you just won't listen," Stanley said.Looking down at her phone with a smile, Robin read the text message Andrew sent to her.MESSAGE DETAILS: Get everyone seated, we're in the parking lot now. Harry shouldn't suspect anything when we walk into the house."Okay, Riley, Gabe, Sophie and Brie, you all have to go downstairs. Andrew and Harry will be here any minute from now. Everyone, please be quiet, okay?" Robin told them all.After they had all relaxed in their seats and pretended like they were discussing other club related matters, Andrew and Harry walked into the room.Fiddling with his glasses, Harry said, "Sorry that I'm late guys. So what system do I use? I think we need to work on our speed first. I noticed most of us are quite slow in comparison with the other teams."Taking a seat in the swivel chair with President written on it, Andrew replie

DEALSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12PMRobin spent the rest of the morning after church, preparing light snacks and refreshments for The Bravers alongside Sophie and Gabrielle.The rest of Andrew's family had gone home to rest so that they could make it early to The Beehive Arena, the next day for the competition."You see how good they turned out? I told you I make the best hors d'oeuvres in New York City," Gabrielle bragged."Oh please Brie, my cupcakes taste much better than your ridiculous h'ors d'oeuvres which I just can't stop eating," Robin retorted before sneaking another samosa into her mouth."Why do you keep eating them then?" Gabrielle laughed.Beating Robin's hand, Sophie said, "You think her hors d'oeuvres are ridiculous, but you keep eating them. At this rate, there'd be nothing left for us to serve the club members.""Ouch that hurt, Soph. You're just jealous because you haven't been away to eat any of hers yet. I love your punch and cocktails though, the taste is very differe
