FORTUNE: A FREENBECKY STORY

Chapter 88 ⏲️

"Got it!" Becky shouted
Heng jumped out of his chair
"What?" Heng asked
"Inter-dimensional travel is 100% viable and I have located the genie dimension with Marlin's help, the genie dimension." Becky jeered
Marlin's chest began to deflate
"What's wrong big guy? Scared of going back?" Heng asked
"No... scared of what's left." Marlin said

"So... should we test it?" Heng asked
"I think it's best if I go first." Marlin replied
"Sure." Heng said
"I'll be back in exactly 10 minutes. If I'm not something has gone wrong." Marlin said
"Ok." Becky said

Becky fired up the large contraption that was not taking up all of Freen's living room space.
-CLANG CLANG CLANG-
"Nearly there." Becky said
"That doesn't sound too safe." Heng said
"There." Becky said

"Are you sure about this?" Marlin asked
"Trust me." Becky replied
"Ok, 10 minutes starting... Now!" Marlin said
Becky started her timer in sync.
Becky pushed a button and a blue light began to emit a strong force. Marlin battled through it eventually entering the portal with much effort.

"What now?" Heng asked
"We wait." Becky said
"That's all I seem to be able to do. Wait for someone else to solve the issue." Heng sighed
"Are you talking about Billy?" Becky asked
"Partially." Heng said
"You guys seem very in love. How did that happen?" Becky asked

Heng smiled
"Well actually we met on a dating app. I was tired of dating people who already knew who I was and the family I came from. He was experiencing the same fatigue. On our first date we both used fake names. I was 'Kirk' and he was 'Nuae', by then end of the first date we had both realised we had so much in common. We felt good about the date and each other but by the time we met for a second date due to our vast resources, we had both already uncovered the truth behind our real identities. Billy took it very seriously of course. He tends to do that. He was very angry with me even though he did the exact same thing but when he eventually allowed me to speak he realised our apprehension was for the same reason. We both came from prominent families and had found it hard to meet genuine people. We continued to meet for the next 7 months and fell in love before Freen and Non got engaged. At which time we decided it was better to keep our relationship private for a while. The first time Freen met Billy was at the faculty fundraiser. I was trying to soft launch our relationship but she was obviously distracted that night. Then everything got crazy and I got kidnapped and Billy found it difficult to hide his concern so I guess the cat was out of the bag. Come to think of it, it's nearly our first year anniversary together..." Heng said

"You two seem perfect for each other. You're truly direct opposites. I've never seen someone as uptight as Billy before in my life and you are so free spirited and non-chalant about everything." Becky said
"I think that's what he loves about me. Billy doesn't mean to be uptight. He grew up in a military family and never truly got to be a child. Everything he did from the moment he was born was assessed and improved upon. He's been in survival mode all his life. To feel warmth and love and rest are foreign to him. He has a big heart, it's just sometimes hard to see behind the walls of his adapted personality." Heng said

"You seem to know him really well." Becky said
"Like you know Freen." Heng said
"I've known her for a long time... it feels like... and she's never changed. She's Incredibly Loyal. Still stubborn with expressing her feelings. Childlike in her mindset. A prodigy. Too gifted for her own good. In every lifetime." Becky said

-RING RING RING-
The alarm goes off.
