I watched Ace walk away, feeling a mix of emotions: confusion, hurt, and anger. What was going on with him? And what did he mean by "their game"?
I need to talk to someone, Jason. Am happy he squeezed his little butt back to school, " i will do anything to make you happy" those where his words. I need to get this load off my chest.

I decided to talk to Jason, hoping he could shed some light on the situation. I found him in the school courtyard, sitting on a bench and staring at his phone.

"Hey, Jason," I said, sitting down beside him. "What's going on with Ace? He's been acting really strange."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVvp6ayHApq
Jason looked up at me, his expression serious. "Ace is upset because he's been replaced as the heir to the family business. And to make matters worse, he's been engaged to Estella."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEaMDuPYWA0
I gasped, pretending. "That's why he's been acting so strange!"
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJJEOUaLxXc
Jason nodded. "Yeah. He feels like he's lost everything. His family, his business, his future..."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAG6QW9Gd6oS
I felt a pang of genuine sympathy for Ace. I had no idea he was going through so much.

"But what about us?" I asked Jason. "What about our engagement?"
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5SbcAC0Z8s
Jason took my hand. "We'll face whatever comes next together, Audrey. As long as we have each other, we can handle anything." And I ask myself why isn't he saying anything about our engagement.

I smiled, feeling a sense of comfort and security with Jason before Estella appeared out of nowhere, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The happy couple," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
I can't stand her, I have to go I said to Jason walking away as fast as I can only to get stopped by a angry Ace, he handed a piece of paper to me and walked away.

I watched as Ace and James walked away, feeling frustrated and embarrassed. Why did I always seem to find myself in these situations?
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsvQYZd85zT
I changed my direction back to the stadium.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA53r7I5KaIm
I turned my attention back to the field, trying to focus on the celebration. But my mind kept wandering back to Ace and what he meant by "I'll see you tonight" in the paper.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUfmuL2b1dI
Was he planning on meeting me in secret? And what did he want to talk about?
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbpgZ1WsF8Z
I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see Jason standing behind me with a concerned expression.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYMHS0mZm0T
"Hey, are you okay? You look a bit shaken," he said, sitting down beside me.
98Please respect copyright.PENANANEKFcrIS67
I took a deep breath and tried to explain the situation, but it all came out jumbled and confusing.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yp44izSBk
Jason listened patiently, his eyes narrowing as he tried to piece together what was happening.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAgT0tDXA2ya
"I think I need to talk to Ace," he said finally. "This is getting out of hand."
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUh9ndIyoDK
I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of relief that Jason was taking charge.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVV4CSLYUMx
But in my head, as I replayed watching Ace and James disappear into the crowd, I couldn't shake off the feeling that things were about to get a lot more complicated.
