Chapter 86: Victoria’s Commitment

“Hey, Shay…” someone called out to Shay from behind.

Shay and Victoria looked back to see a girl from their guild.

“Oh, hey… Natasha…” Victoria greeted her.

Natasha grabbed Shay’s hand and dragged him with her to the corner.

Shay slapped her hand and said, “Excuse me, but who are you? And don’t touch me without my permission.”

“I am your girlfriend,” Natasha replied.

“Uh… what?” Shay raised his brows and thought, ‘Which one, though?’

“What’s your name again?” Shay asked.

“Natasha,” she answered.

“Yeah, but which Natasha?”

“Your classmate. We had sex at your house on your birthday,” Natasha stated. “I gave you my virginity.’

‘Well… I had sex with six girls that day. Why can’t I remember this girl? It’s not like I remember the names of the girl I sleep with. But I am pretty sure none of the girls were virgin because I would definitely remember that.’ 

Meanwhile, Victoria felt guilty for saying all those mean things to Zach.

‘I shouldn’t have said that. I told him he didn’t do anything for me, yet I didn’t even know his birthday. What’s worse is that I sent him the break-up text on that day. What if—’

SLAP!

Victoria looked in the corner to see Natasha had slapped Shay on the face with tears in her eyes.

Shay glanced at Victoria from the corner of his eyes and walked away.

Natasha walked over to the bench and sat beside Victoria. She cried and kept wiping her tears.

“…” Victoria wanted to comfort her, but she had no idea what to do.

After five minutes, Natasha stopped crying and let out a deep sigh. Then, she looked at Victoria and said, “Don’t worry. I am fine now.”

“Okay…”

There was an awkward silence between Victoria and Natasha for one minute.

“So, what were you talking about with Shay?” Natasha asked.

“What about you? Why were you crying?”

“I lost my virginity to Shay a month ago on his birthday. He said we would go out together, but just now, he broke up with me for no reason,” Natasha uttered in a disdainful tone.

“Piece of shit…” Victoria uttered.

“What about you? I heard you broke up with Zach. Is that true?” Natasha asked with a curious look on her face.

Victoria knitted her brows and asked, “How do you know that?”

“Everyone in the guild is talking about it,” Natasha replied with a scoff.

Victoria looked up at the sky and uttered, “Maybe I shouldn’t have broken up with him.”

“What makes you think so?”

“Well… I still love him, and he said he loved me too, so…”

“So, what’s the reason you broke up with him?” Natasha asked.

Victoria sighed and muttered, “Reasons…”

“It’s not a big deal, though, is it?” Natasha uttered. “I mean, break-ups happen all the time. It’s part of the relationship. We can always find someone else.”

“I can’t.”

Natasha stared at Victoria before asking, “Are you a virgin?”

Victoria didn’t say anything and simply shook her head in response.

“So… was it Zach?” Natasha asked with a knowing look.

Victoria didn’t say anything and nodded in response.

“So you lost it to someone you love, right? Then it’s perfect.”

“…”

“Take me, for example. I knew Shay was a playboy. Everyone knows it. But, I still had sex with him because I liked him. So I lost my V-card to the boy I liked. What more could a girl ask for?”

“It’s different for me…” After a brief pause, Victoria continued, “There is still love between us.”

“Then why don’t you two get back together?” Natasha asked curiously.

“What if we break up again? I am not even sure he would agree to go out with me. I said so many horrible things to him. And I am sure he hates me now,” Victoria uttered with an anxious look on her face.

“Then why don’t you two start your relationship as friends again?” Natasha suggested. “That way, you can get to know each other better and have a pure relationship. And then, if you think it would work out, ask him out.”

After pondering for a while, Victoria nodded and said, “That’s a great idea.”

“Then ask him to join this guild. That way, you can be together and keep a close eye on each other,” Natasha suggested.

Victoria shook her head and said, “He won’t join.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“I may not know Zach very well. But I dated him for one month, and it was enough for me to know that Zach never backs off on his commitment. And he never lies. He is always straightforward and blunt, which makes him look arrogant.” Victoria chuckled and said, “But that’s what makes him Zach.”

“Heh!” Natasha scoffed after seeing Victoria praising Zach.

“What?”

“You just said it yourself that Zach never lies, and yet you didn’t believe him when he said he loved you,” Natasha commented.

Victoria face-palmed himself and muttered, “I hate myself.”

“Haha!” Natasha laughed out loud. “It’s not too late. Send him a message to meet you at the cafe or something.”

“Yeah…” Victoria opened her menu and realized she never added Zach as a friend in Gods’ Impact.

After that, Victoria and Natasha went to the training ground where Shay was training with other guild members.

Victoria called out to him while Natasha kept his distance from Shay.

“What do you want?” Shay asked with an annoyed look on his face.

“Do you have Zach on your friend list?” Victoria asked.

“I do. What about it?”

“Can you message him and ask him to meet me at the—”

Before Victoria could even ask Shay, Shay interrupted her and said, “Why should I? I hate you, remember?”

Victoria furrowed her brows and said, “I will send 30 of the top players from this guild to help you level up.”

“Oh?” Shay opened his menu and said, “What do I have to tell him again?”

“Just ask him to meet me—”

“Just kidding!” Shay closed his menu and smirked at Victoria. Then, he frowned his face before saying, “Do you truly think would say that?”

“…”

“I would never sell my friends for my benefit. And I know you want to hurt Zach more, so shoo!” Shay waved his hand at Victoria and said, “Fuck off!”

Victoria sighed and left with only one thought in her mind: ‘Why did I even expect something from him?’

“What are you going to do now?” Natasha asked with a curious look on her face.

Victoria looked at the sky and said, “It’s late now. But I will go to the surface tomorrow morning and find him.”

“That’s the spirit!”

The next day, Victoria woke up early in the morning and left to the surface.

“Now then, which inn is he staying at?”

Victoria opened the map and saw there were 23 inns in the capital.

In the next three hours, Victoria strolled around the capital and asked for Zach in 15 inns, but she couldn’t find it.

After one more hour and searching for Zach in five more inns, Victoria was exhausted.

“Don’t give up, Victoria…” Victoria encouraged herself. “Three more inns. He has to be in one of them.”

Of course, her expectations were going to be shattered soon. She didn’t know that Zach wasn’t staying in the inn, but he was staying at Aurora’s house.

Victoria walked to the nearest inn and asked for Zach, but the receptionist said no one was lodging with that name.

“Two more…” Victoria sighed.

However, as she was about to leave, her gaze fell on Misha and Kayden, who were eating breakfast.

“They should know!” Victoria rushed to them and asked, “Do you know where Zach is?”

“Oh, hey… Victoria…” Misha greeted Victoria. “What are you doing here?”

“Uhh… hii…” Victoria greeted them and asked again, “Do you know where Zach is?”

“Why do you want to know that,” Kayden asked. “You guys broke up, right?”

“I…  just want to meet him,” Victoria replied. “Which inn is he staying at?”

“He is not staying at the inn,” Misha answered.

“Don’t tell me he ascended?!”

“No. He is…” Misha shot a glance at Kayden, and Kayden nodded in response.

“He is staying in a house with his party members,” Misha informed.

“Oh…” Victoria sighed in her stupidity and muttered, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

“But we don’t know where that house is, though,” Kayden added.

“What?!” Victoria exclaimed. “You guys are his friends! Why don’t you know about that? Friends are supposed to know everything about each other, right?!”

“I don’t think you have a right to say that,” Kayden remarked.

“… yeah, I am sorry. I am just…” Victoria let out a deep sigh and said, “I will leave.”

“Wait!” Misha stopped Victoria and said, “I can take you where Zach is.”

“You know where he is?!” Kayden asked with a surprised look on his face.

“Well…” Misha averted her gaze and said, “He gave me his address in case of emergency.”

“Well, whatever,” Kayden sighed. “Give it to her.”

“How about we also go visit them?” Misha suggested. “We don’t have anything else to do anyway. We can also ask them to give us the house when they ascend.”

Kayden and Misha looked for a nice house to buy, but none of the places were vacant. However, if any player ascended and exchanged the house in the higher realm, the house would become vacant, and other players would be able to buy it. And Kayden and Misha wanted to buy Aurora’s house when it became vacant.

“Let’s eat breakfast first.”

Victoria also joined Misha and Kayden and ate breakfast with them. After that, they left for Aurora’s house.

“This is it…” Misha uttered.

Victoria took a deep breath and gathered her courage.

‘You can do this, Victoria…’ Victoria walked to the door and rang the bell.
