Fate Online: Shadow

Sony opened one of his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him, where Jin is beaten up the olympian looking and Jin’s two goons trying to pull the guy off from their boss.

"So this kid is the eldest son of Senator Reeves" Sony mumbled to himself.

’This kid really thinks too highly of himself. I hold the rank of a Captain in the army, and my family also hold high positions. Even my mother who’s a Major General personally came all the way here three days ago to bail me out, and even she was shown to the door. Now, I’m forced to stay in this cell until tomorrow. Ugh...just imagining what punishment I would receive when I get back is already giving me the chills’

’Sigh~ this Jin would surely suffer the consequences of his actions’

"After all, I did manage to get a glimpse of one of the people behind Mine Tech. Industries earlier. How dumb~" Sony grinned, as he didn’t expect that he would learn something shocking today.

*****

Michael, Alice and Tom are currently heading towards the fifth floor of Central City General Hospital.

And while on the way here, Michael learned that Morrison and Tom were actually rivals not only in love but also in sports.

Both of them were the respective aces of their basketball team during their high school years. Tom was the ace of Central High while Morrison was the ace of East High.

During one of their matches, Morrison met Alice and long story short, Morrison started wooing Alice which angered Tom causing a huge rivalry between them.

In the end, Alice and Tom got together and got married.

Creak~

Suddenly, the door in Amanda’s room opened, and Amanda and Jenny who was busy reading something on their phones looked up and saw Alice and Tom coming in.

"Hello, who-" Amanda was the first one to open her mouth and was just about to ask who they are when she suddenly stopped when she saw the last person coming in.

"Hehe, Hello there" Michael came in while scratching his forehead in embarrassment.

"Wha-"

"My! So you’re the one who’s gonna be our future daughter in law!"

Alice interrupted her and exclaimed as her eyes turned bright the moment her eyes landed on Amanda.

Amanda’s face turned rigid when she heard what Alice said while Jenny tried to suppress the laughter trying to come out of her mouth, and Michael on the other hand, had a helpless expression on his face like he had just committed a grave sin.

Even though Jenny had already filled her in on what happened, Amanda still didn’t expect that Michael’s parents would still come visit her, and the most infuriating for her is that Michael told them that she is his girlfriend, which caused a huge misunderstanding that can’t easily be solved.

"I’m Alice Grey, and this is my husband, Tom," Alice said.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Grey. I-I’m Michael’s g-girlfriend Amanda. Please take a seat" Amanda said as the edge of her lips twitched while saying those words.

Alice took a seat beside her and held one of Amanda’s hands and said worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I’m perfectly fine, all thanks to Michael for saving me" Amanda smiled at Michael.

Michael just smiled bitterly and thought, ’She’s smiling, but her eyes clearly are not’

Then Michael noticed Jenny who went over to sit on the couch beside the window, trying hard to stifle her laughter.

Michael walked over to her and left Alice and Tom with Amanda.

"You’re good" Jenny said in a low voice when Michael got near her.

Michael just smiled and leaned on the window sill, and said in an almost like whisper, "I just hope she won’t start hating me for it"

"She won’t. After all, you did save her" Jenny said in a low voice.

Michael looked at her then snorted in laughter which quickly attracted the attention of the people in the room.

"What are you two laughing at over there?" Alice said as she looked towards the two.

"Nothing mom" Michael chuckled.

A few minutes later, Alice was finally satisfied and decided to finally leave the kids to themselves in case they were being a hindrance to Michael and Amanda’s "alone time".

When Alice just got of the door from Amanda’s room, she stopped and looked at Michael, "Don’t think I didn’t notice," she said, before walking away while Tom hurriedly followed after her.

Michael looked at their backs with disbelief on his face, then he started laughing like an idiot, "Haa~ In the end, they still figured it out"

Michael hesitated for a few seconds before going back inside, and once inside, he was suddenly met with a vase flying towards him.

Michael quickly caught it in his hand, and looked at the person who threw it towards him.

"Hey, that could kill someone" Michael said, as he put the vase on a nearby desk.

"I know, that’s why I threw it at you" Amanda coldly said as she glared at Michael.

Michael looked at Jenny, and the latter just shrugged her shoulders as she started heading for the door while saying, "Well, I’ll leave you guys to it"

After Jenny left, there was suddenly an awkward silence inside the room.

"Are you okay?" Michael scratched the back of his head as he felt the uncomfortable air around them.

"Can’t you already see? I’m perfectly fine" Amanda snorted as she turned her head to the side.

"Anyway, why did you tell them that I’m your girlfriend? Couldn’t you have just use the excuse that I’m a close friend rather than a girlfriend?"

"Well, It was the first thought that came into my mind, and besides, we can also make it real" Michael shamelessly said with a huge grin on his face.

"You!"

In anger, Amanda threw her phone towards Michael which the latter quickly caught it in his hands, then a pillow came following her phone, then followed by a pair of slippers.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop throwing these things! Especially the fruits! Didn’t you know that there are a lot of people starving in the world!?"

Michael was practically shouting, as he caught everything that was thrown towards him in his arms.

When everything settled down, Michael looked at Amanda who’s glaring at him, he walked over towards her and put down the things in his hands on the nearby couch.

"Wha...what are you trying to do? I’ll shout!"

"He- uhmmp...schtop...Umn"

Michael then angrily walked over to her side and pressed his lips against her, while Amanda tried to wriggle her way out from him, completely forgetting that she could have put Michael in a submission hold.

’Why?’

Amanda’s resistance didn’t last long as she also started answering back Michael’s kiss with a passionate one, as her body is subconsciously responding to Michael’s actions.

’Why? Why does this feel good? Aren’t I suppose to beat this guy up?’

In her mind, she was thoroughly confused and angry about why she’s not breaking this man’s arms, but at the same time, she had this weird feeling that everything is just right, like this was how it was supposed to be.

After almost twenty seconds, they finally broke free from each other’s lips.

Michael looked at Amanda’s eyes directly, and said, "From now on, you’re my w-"

Twack!

"Aww~!" Michael held his chin as he looked at Amanda while stepping back.
