Cackles of laughter and screams boomed throughout the building as the bombs exploded one by one. The impact of the explosion shook the walls and created cracks. Eventually, the building crashed.
"All of the victories he has stolen from me has finally dropped into my hands. The evil has finally won the day!" he laughed.
Vaughn Stumph shrugged off the dust in his coat while he walked out of the building with poise. A great feeling of pride warmed his heart knowing that he defeated his long time rival, Laurentiu Craiovescu III.
They've been best of friends since diaper days. Maybe because their families agreed to a blood pact that every first born should be trained together. There is no way that their company would be handled by a snotty white-haired grunge. No way that the hard-earned success of the families will shower someone who didn't deserve it.
Even though their friendship started as a forced one, they eventually got along and enjoyed each other's company. Every night, stories and secrets are whispered and throughout the day, they would tackle and play in the park. Until one day, they stopped talking to each other and slowly, rivalry is seeping in to everything they're doing.
"I never thought this would finally come true." he chuckled.

Laurentiu stood behind a barrel while glaring hard at the back his head. Pain jolted in and he crashed down into the road like a puddle. He clutched his side to stop the bleeding but it only drew the blood faster. His vision suddenly blurred for a while and when he returned his gaze to where Vaughn is, he found nothing.
Operating on pure reflexes and hatred, he hastily got up and reached into his pocket. He unlocked his phone and punched in a number he never wished to call. It took six rings before someone answered the call groggily. Wasting no time, he provided him the details and situations he was in.
"Mitchel, let's forget every single childish acts we did on each other and just forgive ourselves. My goodness! It's been what? Ten years of exchanging pranks. Pranks?! Well, I know how much you despise that guy and now I know why..."
"Okay! Okay! So, what's your plan, huh? Law?" Mitchel mocked.
Laurentiu smirked. He knows very well what are the weaknesses of a Vaughn Stumph. " Girl. We need to find a girl who can give him a 'break-y ache-y heart'. Hahaha!" He ended the call. His booming laughter attracted a lot of attention from the bystanders. Some of them are staring weirdly at him. When he finally realized what he's doing, he faked cough and composed himself.

It's already half past ten when Vaughn got near into his hotel. Even though it's dark, he still managed to notice the slumped body in an alley beside the hotel. Due to his curiousness, he walked over to the body and noticed that it's a girl.
Her face holds intricate yet exquisite beauty. It took him a few moments to notice the trickling blood from her hairline, the bruises in her arms and her torn clothes. He immediately scooped her into his arms and run into the lobby of the hotel.
He scanned her again for more injuries and found a deep cut under her ribs. When he saw a lady behind the counter, he ordered her to call a doctor and send a first aid kit into his room.
This girl definitely has a hold over his heart for an unknown reason. Maybe - Just maybe - she is destined to be with him.We'll never know what luck will she for bring him.
