Darcy---)

They used to say, "The quietest kid, even if you see him quiet, do not mess with them." If that were to happen, though, they would grow into something larger, like a tiny spark in the middle of a forest. They are the most dangerous because they are only waiting for something bad to happen. Their villain arc will revolve around that, but I think it will always be for a just cause—revenge.

That's what going to happen with Brayden I was the cause of his villain arc since I was already one, and now one going to become two, he's going to come up with that Game called A+ so he can hurt me back.

Brayden--)

So yeah, everything happened for a reason, they said. They are probably right. I spent a month preparing the idea behind that game and created it. Granpa, or GP, was my only sponsor because, in addition to being the only wealthy member of the family, my dad and I do not get along well and he treats me disrespectfully for using his money. I made a promise to him that I would build my own kingdom without his assistance.

Like with all wealthy or billionaire families, mine is an intricate family tale. The line then continues, always revealing a sinister secret that they are keeping hidden from everyone.

It all began with Grand, Grand, Grand, Grand, Grandpa Jack Legrand. It sounds French, isn't it? Indeed, his parents were French, but he was born in the United States, which is where our obsession with speaking and traveling to French-speaking nations comes from. To continue, he was a player who enjoyed playing a lot of games. One night, an unbelievable event would occur: he would win the pot in a poker game, and his wealth would be inherited by future generations. As the lone child of his father, GP will inherit everything from him. With the help of his wealth, he will support my dad in pursuing his career and evolving into the man he is today.

I was not even close to being whole that night after Darcy completely broke me. My ex Kishara makes sure of that by sleeping with one of my best friends. Then Darcy will break the part of me that was intact.

GP saw that he came to me while sitting by myself outside and told me the Dark Secret. No one was supposed to know about this family. Our former home had a forbidden library in the basement that no one could access, but I eventually gave in to my curiosity and entered. The library area was chained up and all the books had keys. I am going to find out that night. The explanation is that, despite our inability to corroborate the theory, it is a curse, as GP used to claim.

Every man in this family will struggle to find love, and even if they do, it will not be a happy ending. Either the person they thought was the one will leave them or die, or they will find a way to solve the problem by making a game that will pique the interest of the other person and lead to either a happy ending or a return to you.

It functions until GP decides he does not want to participate, and for that he has been through a lot, he told me. He even encouraged me to start one, saying that it is not a curse but rather that every family has a custom that everyone aspires to follow.

So I made an A+ just by reading the last five books to get inspired. My grand, grand grandfather's book about the fourth was my favorite, and the romantic fifth book was my least favorite because, to me, it felt more like a scary game than a love story. Imagine having fun with a room full of snakes for sex; maybe one bites them without realizing it, and I would not realize that either because you can forget everything and the feelings are unreal. That was the last chapter, by the way. however, they cherished it. The reason behind their premature deaths is understandable. And so do Danny it was his favorite.

I therefore created an A+ after drawing inspiration from one chapter of the fourth one.

The receptionist said, "Thanks for signing in Julianna Smith and Bergy Williams, I believe you guys are the first group to play this game, so welcome to A+,"

She continued, "Now please follow these guy in blue, and they are going to show you guys your room."

Juliana " Thank you..."
She looked at her name tag and carried on "Virginia,"

"My pleasure, dear," she responded

They walked a long way, all the way down the hallway there were a lot of doors and each door have three numbers the guys in blue suddenly stopped, and in the other hands has two glasses of milk.

"Please drink this before I show you guys your room," says one of them

"Don't be afraid there is nothing illegal in here even the government knows about the game, some of them want to play in it as well, it's all legal, cause we have a license...drink so you guys can stay hydrated" says the other one

They down it in a matter of minutes.

"Good, now we can proceed." Continued the second one

"Mr. and Ms. Welcome to your guy room, room 003," says the first guy

It was like traveling back in time when they walked into the room, which contained several ancient homes from 10,000 BC. They also had to change into the attire of the local elderly, and after that, they took a stroll around the area.

They had a period of time to do whatever they wanted to do, the amount that is good for them, and they were the ones who wrote it down before signing in the paper. What I mean by whatever they wanted to do is that it was like a date some people chose to just talk and know each other and others to have sex in general just to have a good time with the one you have a crush on and you choose to play with and who that accept to then choose you back to play with.

Except that they were rules, the game can not be the same for everyone. Some others can just talk, but sex is not an option.

When they are done, they give each of them a grade. Julianna's one was D+ and Bergy one was. D- After that, they blindfolded them and drove them to their normal life. Talking to your playing partner in the days that follow is still permitted, but you are not allowed to discuss the game with them as it affects other people. You will not discuss the game with your partner; instead, you will try to learn the rules of the game on your own. If you succeed, your grade will go up or down; if not, it will go the other way around until you receive an A+, at which point you will win and receive your reward—for some, money—become wealthy, or become one of the game's experts. Some others have both. Alternately, press F-, wait for the allotted time to elapse so that you lose, and then stop talking about the game altogether—just the date's experience and how wonderful your partner is at having sex.

After I created this game, I completely changed. I became someone else, like a bad boy. I do whatever I want only if I know it purposely going to hurt Darcy, and now I became the villain.

Darcy-)

To be honest, it worked rather well because I fell into his trap. A trap, particularly for the two of us, but it was too late to realize that.

The trick was that we set aside our rivalry when we realized how silly what we were doing was, but by then it was too late for him because we had already entered the game and needed to finish it before moving on. The guidelines were unambiguous. For him, it was too late, but for me, my ignorance had led me there. I went in blind without fully reading the contract I signed. Can't also blame me cause that can happen to everyone. I was blinded by love.

Although he may have been the game's inventor, he forfeited all rights to become the master in order to play as a player. To put it another way, he was no longer in charge; instead, there were powerful people in positions of authority, and history would repeat itself. We would become Romeo and Juliet's next great love tale, one that would become impossible to pursue because of the explicit rules that stated, "If you signed and already part of the game until you win the game you and that person you choose to play with can still be friends but they can not in any other kind of relationships."

That night at our final celebration, just before our college graduation.

A random guy on stage says, "Now it is time to announce the king and the queen of tonight party...the queen of the 65th generation of MCI graduates is..."

"Why can it be the king's first why it has to be the queen?" says a random student

"The queen first, of course... you know what they said...'les femmes d'abord, meme dans la mort' so be gentle. "

Everyone was crackling.

So he continues, "The Queen of tonight's party is... Darcy."

Everyone was cheering up for me while going up the stage.

"Yes, you did it, I'm so proud of you," Yelled Emma

"Yes," added Ruby

"There is no way she's not even famous anymore," says Chloe

"Neither do you," responded Ruby

Regarding that most famous title, that was held by Dora at the time. She was the girl that everyone was making fun of because of her name, and Emma, I believe, had a crush on her. Sadly, though, she is now seeing Lucas, whom she also has a crush on, but she does not want anyone to know about it because she pretended to despise him for bullying Dora in the past, which was not the case at all. He was an asshole, that much is true, but he was merely attempting to protect Dora. As a result of her A+ score and B-average—both of which Ruby also had—Dora, a friend of ours, now gains popularity. They had the same grade. They were the first two to reach that level of grade and the most popular girls on campus, and I was proud.

Chloe went on, "Okay, okay, okay, hold this for me, I will be back." She handed Ruby her bag, who grabbed it and shook her head, saying, "That girl will never change."

He appeared to be in love with me again while putting the crown on my head, but he also seemed to be regretting his decision. As they were announcing the king, he abruptly took his phone out of his pocket and left.

Brayden is on the phone. "Yeah, I say everything."

"Wait... what? Who?" As I approached him from behind, I heard, and I called out to him, "Brayden."

"Darcy, what are you doing outside?"

"I got your crown...here, you are the king," I grinned.

"Really?" he asks with a smile. "Whoa... Congratulations, by the way!"

"Thanks, we are waiting for you inside to continue the party."

Then, I started walking inside without knowing what was going through my mind. I abruptly stopped and turned to face him again. "Ehem,"

"Yes."

"Are you okay?" pretending to check on him

"Yes, are you?" confirming with me again

"I am doing great...I actually have something to share with you." I answered that

After hanging up, he said, "Go ahead, I am listening."

"Okay, where should we begin?" I had so much to say that I was not sure where to begin.

"I do not know, the beginning or the end if want to," is his reply.

Our laughter spread to both of us.

"I don't want us to be friends anymore," I declared

"What?"

"I want us to be more than that," I stated

He was really perplexed, and I understand why. "But you sent a voicemail saying that we can't be together, ever again. That if we did what was going to happen, that people going to look at us differently, not that I care...so in a situation like this, it's really impossible of what you are asking me right now"

Yeah, about that if we kept going after what happened, we were about to be judged in the MCI's court. Not that I wanted to say that, but I didn't have a choice. I sent this message to prevent that.

"Yes, it is true that I sent you the explanation before sending you the one you received because I thought you were new to this college. But, I accidentally sent it to someone else, and I bet you would have understood that it was not what I meant. But whatever, screw that sh*t, I do not care if people think less of me; everyone makes mistakes. I also know you made that game just to make me jealous, I know you still like me"

"Why did everyone keep saying that" he responded

"Honestly, I think it's worked cause I am madly in love with you, I said it... I love you Brayden" I can't believe I freaking said it

He was surprised about me confessing my love for him he didn't say a word. He was completely frozen.

"I also signed your game, I want to play with you so we can be together for real this time" I added

"You did what? No... fuck no"

Thanks God he finally said something but he was mad, it was a bad sign.

"What? What I did I do wrong this time?" I asked cause I started to get confused like boy, I just confessed my feelings for you, it's not easy, you know.

"So it was you? Why did you signed without reading all the damn thing?... Not you to...God no, I know you are smarter than that, unless you let yourself blind by that fucking game too" he stated

"No, I let myself blind because I fucking love you, I can't still pretended that I'm not, I've been playing games my whole 4 years in college so it's not a big deal if we don't play, you created it, right?" I sighed while I put my hands around his neck

He nodded

"So you can end it"

He finished admiring me and decided to give me a kiss. As his lovely lips were about to meet mine, I closed my eyes, but he swerved and slipped something into my handbag that I was unaware of.

I opened my eyes and asked, "Why is everything gotta be complicated between us?"

"It doesn't work that way, Darcy. I wish it was... I may have created the game, but there is someone else above who is in control. You should have read before you signed, " he replied

"But..."

He cut me up and said, "I know... I mean, you got the assignment, but you are still far from understanding it. "

"You were right all along. Between us, it's complicated, so bye Darcy, " he added

After hearing that, if you stabbed me, you wouldn't find a drop of blood. So I collapsed on the grass outside, and tears started to flow down my eyes.

Brayden--)

I was seating exactly the same spot as her, only the difference was there was a wall between us. I can't lie. I felt the same way it wasn't easy for me, but rules are rules. I gotta respect them.

Darcy--)

A few moments later, I opened my purse to fix up my makeup, and something fell from it. I took a look at it, it was a pink envelope, I wiped away my tears then opened it and then I heard a voice out of nowhere.

The voice on the envelope "Hello Darcy Amilton, we are glad to have you at A+. For more information, we will send someone to pick you up so you can visit the platform. As I wrap up, I wish you luck and may the game commence."

As I glanced at the top of the paper, I noticed a F gradually forming.

"F," I muttered.

Which I never got in my entire life while being in school. My usual grades are mostly A+, A- it's rarely a B if that happened. I got a B+. i will never sleep trying to find out why and fix it. Never a B-. That's why they call me the smartest girl in MCI.

"An F? What sort of disdain is that?" I continued

I wish I could go back in time and change our story, but Chloe made sure it was impossible. Later, I will realize that this was because, like in my case, she also liked Brayden the moment she laid eyes on him; she treated me like a treat and pushed me to play with him, knowing full well that Brayden would hate me for it because she already had Serge. Yes, we broke up, not how I wanted to, but yes. And her next option was Brayden.

***************************************************************************************************************

Alright, guys, I know ya'll going to have questions, so I'm going to try my best to answer them now before you move on to the next chapter.

The truth is that starting with the first chapter and ending with this chapter, which is chapter 5, was only a brief summary of what had happened in the previous versions that I wrote as a screenplay. So you can understand better the next story i'm about to explain.
So now on what you are about to read when you turn this page to the next one is the real deal. This is going to be the beginning of the real story.

You're going to see everything is going to be different cause they are about to face a challenge they never faced before one that isn't just about romance and Drama between these two love birds, there's going to be a lot of action and more mystery.

This is just another chapter in this billionaire family story.

"it's never really ended when it comes to us." (Ben Watson AKA GP)
