Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Traizle

"Can you do that?" I asked, laughing at him.

He can say something about an idea that involves money. A high-paid notion indeed.

"I can! I can buy every inch of them and make them my slaves." Zarsuelo boasted. Smiling creepily at the air.

He is now plotting his move in his mind.

"I will ensure they will suffer as you guys did. I want them to feel that taste of hell," he added. "I'm going to show them that they harmed the wrong people." he muttered again.

Tapping his shoulder. "Matthew, your evil thoughts are going out one by one." I told him.

"Oh? It is—wait, you called me by my name, right?" he asked, surprised.

I arched my eyebrow at him. "Am I?" I asked back as if I didn't know myself.

"Did I hear it wrong? You never called me by my name, though," he replied, unsure. "But I feel like you did. Matthew and Zarsuelo are way too opposite to pronounce. My heart beats faster after you called me." he added.

"Perhaps you misheard me, Zarsuelo," I replied. I was laughing at the sight of him, wondering if I did. "I did, oddball. Stop overthinking. You are now thinking deeply too." I added, suppressing my laughter.

"You did? Can I hear it again?" He said, signing to do it again. "I want to hear you call my name. I was lost in my thoughts a while ago." he added.

"Matthew." I called him again.

I only said one word, also known as his name, and his smile was too big.

"Oh, God!" He exclaimed. "I didn't know my name would be this heaven until I heard it from you." he added, still surprised.

I guess he deserves to be called by his name—

"Marry me, Traizle! Let's get married!" Zarsuelo said.

He deserved to be called by his name today, not tomorrow or the next day.

"Who's getting married?" Archane asked. "Anyway, I went inside because the gate was open." he added.

"Why are you here? Your purpose?" Zarsuelo asked, obstructing my way to see Archane. "As to your question a while ago, I wanted to marry her." he added.

Archane looked at me with wide eyes.

"Why locking eyes with him?!" Zarsuelo said, annoyed. "Why is he here? Did you ask for him?" He whispered.

"I came here on my own, Zarsuelo." Archane answered.

Now, Zarsuelo is looking at him madly.

"Call me by my name. Traizle is using that already." he retorted.

"Whatever," Archane replied, not giving a damn about Zarsuelo. "How is your brother? I went here to check on him." he added.

"His classmates are inside, so you can just enter and see him." I answered.

Archane nodded his head before leaving us. Zarsuelo looked at me suspiciously. "I don't like him." Zarsuelo said.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"Maybe he likes you," he answered. "I have to observe him." he added.

Tyler, Aeron, Zac, and now Archane.

"I don't like him in the first place. That is why my instincts tell me to be alert," he muttered. "Anyway, what should I do with Bryan?" he asked.

"What are you talking about?" I asked back.

"File a case against him, kick him from their school, make his life in hell, salvage him, kidnap, torture, or kill him?" he answered.

Is he asking me to choose one of them? Those choices could be better and safer. "Are you crazy? Can you do that to a senior high school student?" I asked him again.

"That is why I gave you choices, right? If you don't like the others, choose what you want. I know you won't choose them too." he replied.

"Did you ever try to kill someone? Or ask someone to kill for you?" I asked.

Based on the dramas I have watched, every damn rich person can do that. He is a billionaire, and he can do what he wants.

"Hey! Killing is too much, okay? I will kill if I have to; for example, if I need to defend myself, I will kill him. I won't go that far if it is not that serious. Do you think I can do that? I am hurt." he complained.

"I thought you did, but I am thankful you didn't try it. I also know that you can't do that." I responded.

His sad expression turns to a happy one. He is about to hug me, but I stop him with my palm on his chest.

"No way." I told him.

"I want a hug! Just one." he replied, pleading with his fingers for a hug.

"Stop, Zarsuelo." I answered.

"Just a hug! I won't do anything aside from that!" He insisted. "I wanna hug you! I didn't take advantage of you a while ago because I respect you." he added.

"Then respect me again!" I retorted.

"I am already. That is why I am asking you." he answered.

"No!" I replied, still pushing him.

"Why are you so strong?" He complained.

"Lyndon! Get this oddball away from me!" I growled, hoping for Lyndon or anyone to get rid of this oddball Zarsuelo away from me.

"Lyndon! I ask her nicely for a hug, but she is not giving me any!" Now Zarsuelo is complaining to my brother.

We can't hear any movements from inside.

"Aren't you guys going to help me? I will smack your head later!" I growled, giving them a warning.

"I will give you anything you want! Name it and help me!" Zarsuelo said.

The door went open, seeing them, yeah, all of them approaching us. Lyndon held both of my arms. "What are you doing!" I yelled at him.

His friends are holding me tight, unable for me not to move. Archane told Zarsuelo it was the right time to hug me, so Zarsuelo hugged me.

"Satisfied," Zarsuelo said after hugging me. "Thank you! Let me know what you guys want. I will get it for you." he added excitedly.

"Don't let me catch any of you. I will wring your heads off." I yelled and started to chase them.

I will kill one of them!
