This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“Where are you heading to, President Reed?” the driver asked once Sonia got into the car. She placed her walking stick aside as she replied to him. “Bring me to City Stadium, please.”

“Okay.” The driver started the car. The trip from Paradigm Co. to City Stadium was a 1-hour long car drive. The stadium was known for being one of the most congested areas in Seafield as it was close to the city’s airport, so Sonia found herself caught in a jam. Time continued to tick, and the clock struck 4.00 p.m. while they were still on the road.

Meanwhile, Tyler was dressed in a black jersey with the number ‘8’ printed on it. He was warming up on the court while glancing at the audience seats. A disappointed look formed on his rather pale face when he saw that the two spaces that he had pre-booked were empty. What’s up with them? Why did neither of them come?!

“Hey, Fuller, what’s up?” One of Tyler’s team members came over and tapped him on the shoulder. Tyler shook his head. “Nothing,” he muttered in a rather dispirited tone.

“Well, you should rush over if nothing’s up. The coach is asking us to gather.” The teammate pulled his hand back and strode toward the rest area that was prepared for the players. After taking a final glance at the audience seats, Tyler turned and went after his teammate.

Beep! The players officially got into their rows after the whistle blew, and the match began after each party shook their opponents’ hands. Tyler was the small forward and also the star player of the team. Once the person in the center passed the ball to Tyler, Tyler would begin to travel with the ball. His actions were swift, and it only took him a single dodge to avoid the opponents’ attacks. Without much effort, he brought the ball past the free-throw line and tossed it into the ring. He scored! The audience cheered for them, and Tyler gave his teammates celebratory high-fives. “You’re amazing, Fuller. It’s only the start of the game, and you’ve already shown them who’s king,” one of the teammates said.

The other team already knew that he was a formidable opponent, so three players stepped forward to play defense while he attacked; they wanted to stop him from scoring. Tyler’s heart sank when he realized that
