[Stamp Obtained Successfully!]

[Stamp obtained successfully!]

I woke up, staring at the words on the floating blue box in confusion. 

That was when it hit me! I had finally done it! My first stamp!

The memories of last night came flooding back. The kissing, the caressing and oh my god, the sex. 

My eyes drifted to Mila who was sleeping beside me on the bed. By having sex with her, I have fulfilled the requirements for stamping her and I'll now be getting ten times her wealth.

Yes. In order to get ten times the wealth of the stamp holder, I had to seduce and sleep with them.

I couldn't stop myself from grinning. To think that there were still ninety eight other women I'd have to sleep with!

Fun isn't something one considers when trying to save his own life but this does put a smile on my face.

The blue box flickered, then changed, new words written on its surface.

[Would you like to receive your rewards now?]

[Yes / No] 

[Please note: The process may cause headaches and nausea, which may lead to vomiting.]

I stared at the prompt, considering it. Headaches and nausea? Vomiting? This wasn't exactly what I needed after the night I'd just had.

This sounds a lot like a hangover and I definitely wouldn't want to ruin the moment by looking hungover on the ride home.

The rewards can wait. I'll receive them when I get back home. I reached out, clicking 'No'. The box flickered and disappeared.

With a smile, I turned to look back at Mila, her face peaceful as she slept, the faint rise and fall of her breathing almost in sync with the sound of the waves outside.

Of course we slept inside the mansion. Did you expect us to have sex outside where the security guards could watch us?

At that moment, Mila's eyelashes fluttered and she blinked awake, her eyes meeting mine. She smiled softly, still half-asleep. 

"Morning." She murmured.

"Morning." I replied, running my fingers gently through her hair. Just because I had my rewards didn't mean the game was over. "Sleep well?"

She nodded, moving closer and nuzzling her face to my chest. "Very well." She grinned at me.. "Better than I have in a long time."

I chuckled softly. "I'll take that as a compliment."

She shifted slightly, her body stretching against mine, and for a moment, neither of us said anything. 

There was no need for words. It was a comfortable silence, one that felt natural now. But eventually, she propped herself up on one elbow.

"What time is it?" She asked, glancing toward the window but making no move to get up.

"Early." I said, pulling her a little closer. "We've got time."

Mila sighed contentedly and rested her head back on the pillow. "Good, because I'm not ready to leave this bed just yet."

I smiled, letting my hand slide down her back. We lay there for a little longer, before sitting back up. I'm definitely not staying in bed forever, especially when I have rewards waiting for me.

"How about a shower?" I suggested, offering her a hand.

She grinned, taking it as I pulled her up. "Lead the way."

We spent the next half hour in the massive bathroom, going at it like the nasty adults we were. I never even knew you could do so many dirty things with soap.

Once we were both dressed and ready, we made our way down the mansion's winding staircase, the soft light filling the open spaces as the morning fully bloomed outside. 

I could see what the whole hype was about the island.

We went down to the dock, got into our boat and drove off. We sat in comfortable silence throughout the ride, enjoying the scenery. Mila even snapped a few pictures of the city as we approached it.

By the time we docked and got back to the Audi, the sun had fully risen in the sky and was shining happily down on us.

We got into the car and I drove us away. Before long, we pulled into the underground garage of her apartment.

Mila turned to me, her eyes soft. "Thanks for… for everything. You've surprised me, Nico. In a good way."

I smiled, leaning over to kiss her gently. "Glad to hear it. Let's do it again soon."

She grinned. "I'll hold you to that."

With one last lingering look like she didn't want all this to end, she stepped out of the car, and I watched as she disappeared into her building. 

I sat there for a moment, realizing I have a new hurdle. Stopping Mila from falling in love with me. 

If I wanted to keep collecting stamps, I needed to not be committed, so, how do I stop that from happening.

With the look she had given me, I definitely had my work cut out for me.

I sighed and began driving back to my place. Once I got there, I quickly sat on the couch. It was time.

Now, how does one call back the blue box?

As if reading my mind, or maybe it actually was, the box appeared in front of me.

[Would you like to receive your rewards now?]

[Yes / No] 

[Please note: The process may cause headaches and nausea, which may lead to vomiting.]

This time, I clicked 'Yes.'

[Processing reward…]

[Calculating reward…]

I stared at the progress bar for a second, waiting for the headache. Nothing.

"Is that it?" I scoffed. And a second later, I was forced to eat my words as a huge headache wracked my brain.

A wave of dizziness hit me and as I slumped against the couch, my mind took me back to a memory that had previously been buried when I had woken up as Nico Voss.

The memory of what had happened in heaven and how I had gotten here.
