Our Love Is Fate

Arc 1.3

Cole smirks once they are all in their respective cars. They all headed to Marcus' mansion. Now, let's see how the heroine will react when he posts pictures of the three on social media.

"System 001, I should give you a name," declares Cole. He doesn't want to keep calling him system 001.

[Okay!] The system cheerfully agrees, and he couldn't help but be a bit emotional. No one had ever given him a name. He was just a system to them.

"Your name will be Leon from now on." Cole names him.

[Leon, I love it! Host, thank you. Leon will do his best to guide you!] The system cheerfully says.

"Just keep watch on my sister and the heroine. Make sure the heroine doesn't make any move against her. If so, then tell me ahead of time. So I can intervene; the new Cole will not allow Alisa to be mistreated or hurt by anyone! Only I can bully my sister, which is the sibling way!"Cole announces to himself. It's a good thing that he wasn't riding along with anyone.

[Yes! I will monitor them! I will inform you if anything goes wrong, host]

"Call me Zero. I don't want to forget my real name," Cole orders Leon. He honestly didn't want to forget his real name. With so many worlds, he will forget his origins.

[I understand, Zero! Oh, it's so nice to say!]

"Hm, well, it looks like we are about to arrive," Cole says as he approaches a vast mansion.

[Zero, it would seem the heroine is plotting something. She is going shopping in the same mall as your sister. She is planning to embarrass your sister when she stops by to eat dinner]

"So we have 3 hours until that happens. I will seduce *cough* I mean grow our friendship. So the heroine can't get their pity at all. I will need a poison pill, just one that will make people puke and can be quickly detected and diagnosed. Make sure that it can be cured easily by a doctor. Also, make the symptoms noticeable, like the face turns slightly green," requests Cole as he parks in the mansion parking lot. Cole knows that even if he seduces them, he won't date any of the two. Love is always a dead end in the long run. Especially for him, as he'll travel multiple worlds, he'll suffer heartbreak every time.

[Why?]

"Hm, the heroine will try to put something on someone, like an aphrodisiac, on either the male lead or the second male lead. Please replace it when it's time. If she wants to give one to me or my sister, replace it with a pill that does nothing," Cole orders Leon softly. He got out of the car and headed towards Marcus and William.

"Let's watch a movie!" William excitedly suggests as he opens the mansion like it's his home.

"Sounds good," Cole answers as he follows William in. Marcus is left to be the last one in his own home. He could only chuckle at his friend's antics. Marcus likes having his friends over instead of going home to an empty mansion daily. Maybe he should invite them more often.

"Hey, Cole, I heard a gutsy little lady asked you out on a date!" William teases Cole as they head to the theater room. Marcus felt his whole body clench up in anger. He didn't know why he rarely gets angry.

"I was but rejected her. She is part of the Romano family. The girl wanted to climb the ladder. The Ramano family recently wanted to build a relationship with my business. I denied them, and they were trying to push their females towards me. I will never date anyone who wants me for my name and power. I want someone who loves me for me. Which I feel will be hard to find," Cole gently answers. He already gave up on love, so it doesn't matter. He didn't know that his voice came out heartbroken. Marcus and William felt their heart shatter like someone pulled their heart out and smashed it with a sledgehammer.

"Cole," Marcus whispers. Cole turns to him and smiles at him.

"It's fine, let's just watch a movie, alright?" Cole tries to bring up the mood. At the same time, William tries to figure out who broke Cole. Going through the many people Cole knew. He should send someone to investigate. He doesn't want his friend to be sad. Marcus, on the other hand, is plotting murder. Cole should never be in pain and should have a smile. Marcus couldn't understand why he thought that way. The thought of a heartbroken Cole angered him.

"Marcus, I want popcorn," asks Cole as he picks a movie from the collection of movies. Making the two snap out of their trances.

"Oh, and drinks!" William asks right after as he walks up to Cole to help him choose a movie. Marcus can only smile at them and nod. He asks one of his butlers to get it. There are no maids, as many tried climbing up his bed. Once they chose a movie, they all took a seat. The butler gave them drinks and popcorn. The three enjoyed the movie. It was a comedy zombie movie. The three were laughing their asses off.

"This movie is hilarious!" William laughs as he holds his stomach, which starts to ache. He leans into Cole, trying to hold himself up.

"William, you will make me fall from my seat!" Cole laughs as William is almost falling. A minute later, William falls out of his seat in laughter. Cole was also about to fall, but Marcus caught Cole's arm and pulled him towards him. Cole landed on his lap. Cole slightly blushes and gets up quickly.

"Haha, thanks, Marcus," Cole answers, a bit flustered. Marcus didn't know if the blush was from him holding him or the laughter. For some reason, he wanted it to be because he landed on his lap.

"No problem, Cole," Marcus answers. Cole turns and helps pick up William from the floor.

"Marcus, why didn't you help me? I'm so hurt that you let me fall. How am I ever able to trust you again!" William cries dramatically, copying the movie. Cole couldn't help but chuckle at William.

"Cole, you love me, right? I can trust you, right!" Cries William dramatically towards Cole. He was hugging his waist like a little child.

"Yes, you can trust me," Cole answers as he ruffles William's curly hair. Marcus felt a pang of jealousy. He wanted to replace himself with William. Marcus couldn't help but shake those thoughts. He didn't understand why he was feeling like this, especially since he had never felt this way before with Cole.
