Chapter 23

That night, I found it hard to fall asleep. I kept thinking about the stories Alex told me earlier and the fact that my younger self so readily kissed him. Did I have no shame back then? My cheeks flushed with embarrassment, it was really annoying.

I lied down on my bed and surfed through the internet. News about Oscar King were hot trending on almost every social media platform. Headlines about him building up new strong fortresses and eradicating the corrupted members under him were the hottest.

There were no clear pictures. It looked like the paparazzi were finding it difficult to take pictures of him. His guards barricaded him and the only shots taken were of his side profile or blurry front.
