Ruinous Return - Chapter 48

Traveling through the world of Detective Conan, Chi Feichi was sent to the hospital.

Tuesday.

Doctor: “What day is tomorrow?”

Chi Feichi: “Wednesday.”

Doctor: “Cough, tomorrow is Friday.”

Chi Feichi: “…”

August 21.

Doctor: “What day will it be tomorrow?”

Chi Feichi: “August 22nd.”

Doctor: “Cough, tomorrow is January 1st.”

Chi Feichi: “…”

When everyone thinks that the chaotic time is correct, and one of them cannot correctly identify and integrate into it, then this person is an outlier, a patient!

Once admitted to the hospital, it is as deep as the sea, and it is impossible to recover in this life.

Chi Feichi took a deep breath: “Old! Son! No! Do it!”

What would you do if you were a Florida Man with OP wizard magic?Zarian Darkrun, a homeless Florida Man, is tired of being a societal reject and ends his earthly ties. He opens a portal in a busy mall and sends himself, some koi fish, and ten others into another world.Welcome to the Infinita Star System, a universe of epic fantasy and game-like magic. Dungeons? Dragons? Ancient kingdoms and man-eating monsters? It’s all here.Only the powerful can adventure from the lower worlds to the higher worlds of the Star System. Among those few are murderous villains and tyrannical crusaders, each seeking godhood or the empty throne of the Adventurer King.Unlike those egomaniacs, Zarian embraces Infinita for simpler pleasures: making unique friends, learning new spells (or stealing skills), and enjoying every level, stat, quest, food, and magical view. Follow Zarian in his new life as he leads a strong adventurer party and explores the depths of his horrifying and somewhat evil magic.Oh, and keep in mind that his mysterious origins scare the System.There’s a reason he alone is the Honored Outsider.

“Block him.”“He's technically still my boss.”“Then block him with dignity.”The call ended again.And then started again.I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt.“Yes, Mr. Walton?”“Have you changed your mind yet?”I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough.“Do you ever take a break?” I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand.“You're avoiding the question.”“Because it's a dumb question.”He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. “It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer.”“It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to.”There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker.“You are acting unreasonably.”“ Unreasonable?” I sat up. “I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday.”“Isabella-”“Certainly not, Mr. Walton.” I mimicked his tone perfectly. “I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with.”SYNOPSISIsabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story.But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger.Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not.Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position.Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival.So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend.No feelings attached. No drama. Just business.Or so she thought.“Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes,” he said, passing by without a glance.The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud.I opened it. The contract. All of it.---Enemies to lovers? Check.Slow burn? Hmmnyea.Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes.Delicious workplace tension? Of course.Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely.Smut?? Wanna find out?Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

He had been keeping watch on her for a while, but now he's come to claim what rightfully belongs to him.Another daughter of the Singhs!This was a means to an end, and Narika would be the compensation for what they had done to him.“We owe you nothing, I have no idea what you are talking about, let me go!” She cried.“Shh sweetheart, it's okay. ” He cooed, patting her hair while giving her those creepy looks of his, that scared the hell out of her.“Let me go!” She shouted, but it was too late for her to see that he was not here to joke with either her or her family.He grabbed her hair, and pushed her up against the wall of her room, “I will be coming for you soon, and when i come. No one will stand in my way of getting what i want…not including you princess!”“I pray your soul rots in the deepest part of hell where you came from, I detest you!” She yelled.“The feeling is mutual, I hate and at the same time feel things for you, that i am sure don't make any sense to me.” Adrik complained, before covering the space between them.“What have you done to me, Narika?”A/N:My Official story for the WSA competition, your support is massively needed.~~~ Other books by the same author:*356 days to love* *A Mommy For Hire:The heiress must get married**Dangerous Love:Two can play this game*Discord ID:Jayden222#1883 My Discord Server:https//discord.gg/6kxjMKR2Instagram ID:IrreplacebleSassy
