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

Nick walked into the graveyard with bouquets in his hand. He keeps one bouquet on his parents Kay and Mel's grave and the last one on Myra's. Kay was not a very good father but he wasn't evil like his birth mother June. Kay might have not stood for them, but he still loved them and he remembers Bright telling him about the last moment of their father's death. It was brutal and unfair to him too. Killing June was not enough punishment for her. So, Nick decides to punish her by making her vanish completely.

When your loved ones die, what's left of them? Memories. They are dead but they stay alive in their loved one's memories and Nick snatched June's existence. The news of her suicide never came out in the media, Arthit made sure of it. Police never did any postmortem because Nick never asked for it and being the only family member of June, only he had the right to permit the postmortem, as Bright lay in the hospital bed unconscious just like years ago once again.

He cremated her body and instead of keeping her ashes, he threw them away in the ocean sealed in a pot without any name on it. He also made sure there was no grave in her name. And taking away someone's existence can be the worst for any human being. So, if someone asked about his parents, it was Kay and Mel and it will always be them, for him and his brother too.

Junta tortured Niran until she was bored and tired of his screams. She was done playing with his body, and his body was too old to take all the tortures Junta was throwing at him. They don't know now where he is or where he ended up and they are not even interested in knowing.

"Another successful year for the most thriving Painter from six years in the art industry. Just like in the last six years, he has sold every last piece. When this artist put his foot in the industry, everyone made a wild guess of him being an old grumpy man situated in mountains and paintings 24*7 in nature. Well, I won't lie, I was one of them too," said the interviewer winking at the camera.

"But look at this handsome, breathtaking man who has finally taken some pity on his fans and decided to come on camera and show his real face, leaving us all breathless, everyone let's welcome Win Fah Suwannarat as known as Mr. Green, who has the power to bring our imagination into reality," said the host and the camera panned towards Win, the whole studio erupted in applause. The studio was shining with bright lights and a painting was situated between the host and Win covered with a veil.

Win smiles toward the camera and waves to the audience sitting in the studio who were here to bid for the painting which was never on sale. However, Win decided to auction it in his first interview to the highest bid.

"I dare you to,"

Win sighed and glanced at Bright next to him, raising a brow as if to ask, is there even a second option here? The answer is no. Not unless Win wants to be kicked out of the game. Something that's never happened to him in the last three years, in the history of this altered version of Truth or Dare...

Where there's no truth option. The interview plays on the television in a dim sound and no one bothers to listen because they were all present live during the interview.

"Do your worst," Win says to his sister who is in charge of Win's fate. It has been three years or more than three years Win doesn't remember and he doesn't even want to count it. Things were pretty good sitting beside his best friend and he liked it that way.

Bright's POV -

'You creep, why are you staring at his lip you pervert, it's your hormones you single ass,'
