The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

So, here was the deal. Felix was stuck in the hospital, and the big competition was tomorrow. The team was a mess, and even Cleo got roped in to help out. Everyone was freaking out. One of the teammates grumbled, "The captain's practically on his deathbed. How are we supposed to compete? Might as well pack up and go home!"

Allison banged on the table to get everyone's attention. "Let's have a match and see what everyone's got!"

The team wasn't having it. "Why should we listen to you? Felix might've brought you in last minute, but you're just a kid. Playing a game and competing are two different things!"

Allison stayed cool and stared them down. "Log into the game. I'll take you all on. You up for it?"

Her challenge sounded cocky, and it pissed them off. "Who do you think you are? Fine, we'll get two people to go against you two. No way we're losing to you!"

Allison and Cleo teamed up, and at first, they were just average. The team kept mocking them.

"With skills like that, you think you can compete? Just quit already!" Tobias, the biggest pessimist, sneered.

Allison ignored him and looked at Cleo. "Ready?" Cleo nodded, and Allison grinned. "Let's do this!"

No one got what she meant since the game had already started. But soon, they realized this was the real deal. Allison and Cleo's characters suddenly went beast mode. Cleo charged ahead while Allison attacked from the side, leaving their opponents in chaos.

Half an hour in, Allison and Cleo were unstoppable, and the others were already out. They kept pushing forward, and Allison was picking up rare gear like it was nothing. Another half hour passed, and the game ended with Allison's victory. She took off her headset and smiled at the three in front of her. "Am I good enough now?"

"Ms. Bennett, you're incredible. We'll follow you from now on!"

"Felix isn't even as good as you. You're our new leader, Ms. Bennett!"

In just an hour, Allison became the new team leader. She didn't waste time and started organizing the team, assigning roles to everyone.

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door of the presidential suite. Cleo went to open it but got shoved aside.

A petite girl stormed in, fuming. "You guys are too much! Felix is still in the hospital, and no one's taking care of him. What are you doing here?"

Allison raised an eyebrow; she knew this girl. "Sabrina?"

Hearing her name, Sabrina looked at Allison and paused. "Allison, what are you doing here?" Allison smiled and pulled Sabrina over. Everyone moved to the living room and sat on the sofa.

"Your brother's fine. He just needs some time to process things, so..." Allison trailed off. The truth was, Felix was too embarrassed. He was taken to the hospital naked and covered in vomit, which grossed him out. But Allison couldn't tell Sabrina that, so she tried to comfort her.

Sabrina sighed in relief. "Allison, I trust you. If you say Felix is fine, then he will be fine!"

Allison nodded and then asked, "Do you know Felix's girlfriend?"

At the hospital? Allison frowned and looked at Cleo, who quickly made a call and then shook her head. "Can't get through."

"To the hospital!" Allison ordered, then turned to Tobias and the others. "You guys keep practicing, and take Sabrina with you. She's just as good as any of you!" Tobias nodded. They all knew Sabrina, so Allison felt okay leaving them.

Allison and Cleo grabbed a cab to the hospital. Cleo was still a bit annoyed. "If I had known, I would've stayed at the hospital. That idiot might've been tricked again."

Allison smiled at Cleo. "Do you really think the captain of the world's top gaming team is an idiot?" Cleo paused, then it clicked. "You had a backup plan?" Allison nodded, and Cleo felt more at ease. With Allison involved, the other person was bound to suffer.

Meanwhile, in Felix's hospital room, a stunningly beautiful woman looked at Felix on the bed with disdain. She had sensed something was off with her magic, so she came to check. She found Felix sleeping soundly on the bed.

The doctor's diagnosis was that Felix had no illness, just a stomach infection from overeating, which made Julie Cox even more disdainful. To her, Felix was just a useless person who could only provide her money.

Julie muttered, "In three days, you'll be dead, Felix. Don't blame me for being ruthless. You're too stupid! Three days later, right after your competition ends, I've already bet on your loss. I'll take the money and live well, and you can rest in peace!"

Just as Julie finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open. Allison and Cleo appeared at the door, and Julie immediately became alert. "Who are you?"

Allison glanced at Cleo, who immediately grabbed Julie and threw her to the ground, pinning her down. Allison lifted Julie's shirt and saw a red line extending from her spine, the color already turning black.

Julie said angrily, "I'm Julie, Felix's girlfriend. He won't let you get away with this!"

Allison sneered and squatted down to look Julie in the eye. "Are you sure? Julie, I know everything you've done to Felix, and I'll make you pay for all of it. Let's wait and see!"

Julie was kicked out, and Allison walked to the bed and kicked it. Felix on the bed jumped up with a scream. "Allison, are you trying to kill me?" Allison was quite helpless. "Stop pretending to sleep, Felix. Your taste is really something!" Julie looked like a ghost with her makeup; her face was caked with powder that was flaking off, and her mouth hung open.

Allison shook her head. She always thought Felix had peculiar taste. While others sought beauty, he always found the least attractive ones, and each one seemed less attractive than the last.

"Allison, stop teasing me. I know I was wrong!" Felix said, lowering his head. He had heard everything Julie said just now and was drenched in cold sweat.

"Recognizing and correcting your mistakes is a great virtue, Felix. Cherish the people in your life. Don't wait until you lose them to regret it!" Allison said, and Felix followed her back to the hotel, dejected.

Seeing him return, Sabrina was the happiest and hugged him tightly. "Felix, you're okay. That's great!" Felix looked down at Sabrina, who was just a little girl, only sixteen. Actually, Sabrina wasn't Felix's sister but had grown up with him. She relied heavily on Felix, and Felix had driven her away several times for Julie, which made him feel guilty.

Felix hugged her tightly. "Sabrina, I'm sorry. I was wrong before and hurt you!"

Sabrina smiled, "It's okay, Felix. As long as you're okay!"
