Chapter 12: Friends with Alex
🕑 Added 2025-07-13 09:35:40 +0000 UTCAt the swimming pool beside the modern-style house, the gentle sunlight sparkled on the water's surface. What Owen saw before him was Clara in a bright blue bikini that accentuated her fair skin, and Claire in a sizzling red bikini that perfectly matched her personality. The alluring bodies of both women made it impossible for Owen to look away.
Whether it was their fair, round breasts bobbing up and down with the water's surface, or their firm, round butt cheeks bouncing with every movement, either way, they both thoroughly stimulated Owen's masculine urges, and the crotch of his pants couldn't help but feel tight.
Conversely, Owen had no idea that it wasn't just them who were a feast for his eyes; he was also a feast for theirs. Because he was only wearing a pair of short swimming trunks, Clara and Claire could clearly see the perfect muscles on Owen's body. The physique forged by Nova's training was far more powerful and better-looking than Owen had realized.
"Wow~ What have you been doing, Owen? How did you get such sexy muscles!" Claire gasped, her mouth agape. She exclaimed in disbelief while secretly wiping drool from the corner of her mouth.
Luckily, Clara didn't go as far as drooling like Claire. She simply looked at him with sparkling, admiring eyes. "Oh wow~ Look at your body, Owen. I barely noticed it when you had clothes on. Now I understand why you look like a walking corpse every time you come back from the gym. You've been working really hard, Owen!"
Clara continued, her eyes filled with determination, "Seeing you like this gives me the motivation to start taking care of myself again! It's probably time for me to start working out like you. Can you recommend a gym for me?" Clara's voice was audibly full of energy, showing her seriousness, which caused the Choice System to suddenly appear before Owen.
…..
[1. You don't need to work out, Clara. Your figure is already perfect. (Affection +1, Angel Path +1)]
[2. Of course, Clara. Nova probably won't mind if you just borrow her equipment, and she can help you work out correctly, too. (Affection +1, Demon Path +1, Enters the 3P path with Clara and Nova.)]
[3. I think working out by yourself at home is enough for you, Clara. Because your body is still very sexy! (Affection +1, Demon Path +1)]
…..
Seeing the options, especially the outcome of the second one, Owen's eyes immediately lit up. He nodded and agreed with Clara's request. "Of course, Clara. Nova probably won't mind if you just borrow her equipment, and she can help you work out correctly, too."
"Thanks so much, Owen! I don't want to become a fat pig anytime soon! Luckily, I have some free time on Mondays. So, how about we go to the gym together every Monday?" Clara thanked Owen with an excited voice, readily setting up a workout date with him.
Meanwhile, Claire could only pout with envy at the two of them. "Damn it! If I didn't work in tourism, I'd have time to go with you guys!" Not long after they finished talking about the gym, Clara and Claire started bickering in the pool again.
"Hey~ Owen, don't just stand up there! Hurry up and come down to play in the water with us!" Claire shouted playfully at Owen.
"That's right, Owen! You have to help me hold her down. I'm going to attack her with my deadly rubber ball!" After saying that, Clara mercilessly threw a rubber ball at Claire, but Claire easily dodged it.
"Hahaha! Don't tell me you're cross-eyed, Clara? You can't hit me from this distance? You might need to get your eyes checked at the hospital," Claire taunted, making Clara grit her teeth and swim in for a close-quarters fight.
Amidst their playful quarrel, Owen couldn't help but pick up his camera to take some beautiful pictures of them, especially of Clara, which he intended to post on OnlyStar. Because he knew very well... no one could resist Clara in a sizzling hot bikini.
…
After the chaos in the pool ended, Owen drove to Alex's mansion to submit his final work. Yes... it was the final task for what Alex called the "pre-employment test."
In Alex's office…
After he checked Owen's file, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction. "Alright, Owen. You've proven yourself more than enough to be worthy of my trust. You're my friend now, Owen. You don't have to be so formal with me. Just call me 'Alex.' Damian calls me that too. And it's probably time I gave you the real job to clear your debt…"
After a few seconds of silence to compose his words, Alex leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh. "Sigh… Can you promise me, Owen… that after you hear this, you'll keep your mouth shut… because this is a personal matter between me and my wife... Victoria."
"You've seen what she's like, haven't you? Arrogant, looks down on others, refuses to learn from her mistakes, always making me clean up her messes. If I had known she would be like this, I never would have married her in the first place.”
“Unfortunately, I was young and inexperienced back then. Just seeing how beautiful and sexy she was, I immediately wanted to marry her. And look at my marriage now, it's a fucking wreck! That's why I want to find a new wife, Owen… A wife who truly loves and cares for me, not a woman who only loves the money in my wallet!" Alex said, his voice simmering with emotion.
He continued to explain, "But you know how difficult and disadvantageous it is to divorce an Awakened like her, right? If I do that, I'll definitely lose more than half of my assets to her. That's not what I want, Owen… I want her to be the one to ask for a divorce or leave me on her own!"
Owen, who was listening intently to Alex's words, couldn't help but start to roll his eyes in confusion. He didn't understand why Alex was telling him this marital drama. What did it have to do with his job? And it seemed Alex knew what Owen was thinking.
"Hahaha! Don't act like this has nothing to do with you, Owen, because this is the real job I want you to do! You have to do whatever it takes to make Victoria like you, fall in love with you, or whatever it takes to get her out of my life!" Alex said with a laugh.
Meanwhile, Owen could only gape in disbelief. "Uh… that sounds difficult... Ahem… Alex. Are you asking me to… uh… fuck your wife?" Owen stammered, uncertain.
Alex laughed amusedly. "Hahaha! That's right, Owen. I want you to fuck my wife! Do whatever it takes to get her out of my life, and you'll get one million dollars to clear your debt. You can do that for me, right?" Of course, it was a critical decision, so the Choice System appeared without Owen having to summon it.
…..
[1. Of course, Alex. I haven't liked her since she used her powers to force me. I'll turn her into my plaything if you want! (Affection +5, Enters the path to clearing debt, Leads Victoria down the Demon Path.)]
[2. I'll do it! I'll make her fall in love with me slowly and tactfully. Then she'll eventually forget you, Alex. (Affection +1, Enters the path to clearing debt, Leads Victoria down the Angel Path.)]
[3. I refuse. I don't like to fuck other people's wives, Alex... (Affection -5, Alex will not clear your debt, You might be assassinated by Alex's bodyguards.)]
…..
Just looking at the options, Owen knew he had to choose the first one. So, he puffed out his chest and said to Alex with confidence, "Of course, Alex. I haven't liked her since she used her powers to force me. I'll turn her into my plaything if you want!"
Hearing that, Alex nodded with satisfaction. "Excellent, Owen. You truly are a friend of mine. You can roam my mansion as you wish and do your job to the fullest. I'll remind Victoria myself that you are my friend, so she won't dare use her powers on you again… And if you want information about Victoria, you can go ask Anya. She's both my close friend and my personal secretary. Her office is next to mine.”
Owen: “Understood, Alex.”
Alex: “Alright, our business is concluded. See you again, Owen."
After leaving Alex's office, Owen walked towards Anya's office as Alex had instructed. Along the way, he was still contemplating every word Alex had said, wondering how much of it was true, because hiring someone to fuck your own wife seemed too unbelievable, even if there was a reason behind it.
But when Owen arrived at Anya's office, he immediately heard a soft female voice speak with a weary tone, as if she knew he was coming. "Hmm~ You must be the Owen that Alex was talking about. I'd really like to know what kind of dirty work he gave you that made him take such a liking to you."
Being suddenly jabbed at like that, Owen could only frown. He stepped into the room and looked towards the source of the voice. And he saw a beautiful woman, about 40 years old, with a curvy, voluptuous figure, long brown hair, and black-rimmed glasses. She was looking at him with a displeased expression.
[Character Illustration: Anya]
As for Owen, he could only reply with a mixture of curiosity and a little bit of playful annoyance. "What do you mean by 'dirty work'? I don't think I'm doing any 'dirty work' for Alex… Why don't you explain to me what your definition of 'dirty work' is? Then I'll know if the job I'm doing falls into your category of so-called dirty work."
This time, it was Anya's turn to frown at his question-as-an-answer. "Hmph~ I didn't think you'd have such a sharp tongue. But to satisfy your curiosity, I'll give you some examples of 'dirty work' Alex usually assigns to people like you, such as data theft, blackmail, collecting protection money, extorting outlaws, and so on. So which category does your job fall into, Mr. Owen?"
Owen could clearly sense the displeasure in her voice, and it was likely to make their conversation worse. So, he used his Choice System power to salvage the situation.
…..
[1. Listening to you, it seems you don't like Alex's actions at all, and you know he's not a good person. But what I don't understand is… why do you still put up with working for him? (Enters the path to opening Anya's heart.)]
[2. I'm sorry, but the work I do doesn't fall into any of the categories you mentioned. (Anya begins to distrust you.)]
[3. I'm not here to answer your questions. I just came to get information on Victoria, as Alex told me to. (Anya begins to distrust you.)]
…..
Owen chose the first option. He walked over and sat in the chair opposite Anya, looking at her with a relaxed posture, and asked her in a serious tone, "Listening to you… it seems you don't like Alex's actions at all, and you know he's not a good person. But what I don't understand is… why do you still put up with working for him?"
Anya raised an eyebrow in surprise. She didn't expect him to grasp the issue between her and Alex so quickly. "It seems you're serious about this question, so I'll give you a short, direct answer. It's a complicated matter between childhood friends who grew up together, Owen… It's my responsibility to guide him back to the right path… That's why I'm still working as his secretary to this day."
As Anya finished speaking, Owen's Choice System responded once again.
…..
[1. Hmm~ You're a very good person, Anya. Actually, I never wanted to work for Alex in the first place, but I happen to have a million-dollar debt to pay... (Affection +5, Anya trusts you more.)]
[2. Face the truth, Anya. You can't do it! (Affection -1, Anya begins to see you in a negative light.)]
[3. Okay, I understand. And I won't get involved in your complicated business.]
…..
Owen didn't hesitate to choose the first option and praise her. "Hmm~ You're a very good person, Anya. Actually, I never wanted to work for Alex in the first place, but I happen to have a million-dollar debt to pay, and Alex offered to pay it off for me. You know a poor guy like me has no choice but to work for him…"
He began to tell her his story. "Fortunately, the job he gave me has nothing to do with the dirty work you mentioned. It's just verifying the accuracy of information. And finally, he accepted me and considers me a friend."
Owen paused slightly before continuing. "And you probably know his personality well, right, Anya? He wouldn't make his friends do those dirty jobs… And as his friend, I don't want Alex to walk down a dangerous path either. So, maybe I can help you too. The two of us could help make him better. What do you say?"
When Anya heard Owen's offer, her eyes immediately lit up. It seemed that God had finally taken pity on her and sent someone like this to help. "That's an interesting offer, Owen, and I hope you're not deceiving me… I'd be very happy to work with you for our Alex!" she said with a slightly excited tone, extending her hand to shake Owen's.
The two began to talk more intimately before Owen excused himself, taking the file on Victoria with him. Owen still had many things on his mind to think about…
