27. Neurochemical brain's process
The reception venue was located on the outskirts of the city. It took them almost half an hour to reach the place. There was a lot of greenery around and it looked more like an exclusive sports club or conference hall, maybe a training centre rather than a traditional hotel.
Tennis court, a swimming pool and a beautiful park with gazebos, fountain and a lot of beautiful nooks with stunning flora; a perfect place not only for a break, but also for taking photos. It was everything one could dream of, but not imagine such a place to be like.
‘That’s a dream scenery for outdoor photo sessions!’ Jo thought as she wished she could have brought her camera. If only she knew about the trip and the wedding earlier!
Looking around at the outdoor scenery, she decided to come back here with her equipment for some photo shoot in the near future.
The banquet hall looked simple but was very elegant. It was a huge rectangular room, one longer wall of which was m

The Bet 28. Reception
“Dance with me.” Mike said arrogantly, approaching Jo who was already at the buffet with refreshments happily eating away. “What is it? An order?” She was appalled at the tone of his voice. Mike just grabbed her hand and put away her plate, and pulled her out of the crowd to a side. “I don’t feel like doing that.” “It’s not a matter of your liking or not!” He announced. “Should I show you my middle finger? You can ask somebody else.” “The newly wedded couple just finished dancing. Now, It’s the time for the maid of honour to impress everyone with her two left feet.” “You can dance by yourself!” “The second, I mean third, dance belongs to us. Don't you know about it?” He looked at her seriously holding her hands. “Oh… I forgot you don’t attend events like that so I have to inform you that we have to dance together in a moment!” “Leave me alone! If you don’t want to be knocked out right now, here; I suggest you le
The Bet 29. Revenge
Jo and Matthew tried to escape the crowd and the reception as soon as possible. In reality, both of them didn’t like events like that, but escaping Natalie’s family and friends wasn’t an easy task. They informed Mike’s parents about the address and the time the wedding was going to take place. She thought that they had the right to know, even if Mike had a different opinion. Natalie’s parents realized that by not attending their daughter's wedding, they were committing a mistake they would never be able to fix. Finally, they both accepted the choice of their daughter and were present at the wedding ceremony and gave her their blessing. The most important part was that Natalie’s father led his precious daughter to the altar. All this was enough for Jo. She was happy and after exchanging courtesies with them, she considered the case closed, but Mike’s mother still wanted to talk to her so Jo had to diplomatically avoid her all evening. Most of t
The Bet 30. Revenge (part 2)
In about forty minutes, they arrived at a recently opened race track, which looked magnificent from the outside. Mike didn't know it existed; he was shocked to see the place which Jo had chosen to come to as he realized that his car was in serious danger. Jo was already there happily talking to some people. Without much thinking, he got out of Matthew's car and ran towards them. “That wasn’t the deal I agreed to yesterday! Jo, you are ruthless!” He shouted. In a very short moment, he approached the group of amused and laughing people. He stopped and fell silent immediately as he recognised Thomas and his wife Ann, Paul and another pair he didn’t know. In one moment, everyone's eyes fell on him. ‘I turned out to be a jerk again! Who are those people and what are they doing here?’ He thought to himself. Paul was also a good friend to all of them, from the time when they were still in university, but Mike didn’t have much contac
The Bet 31. Julian
“Why don’t you give your car to Jo for a ride?” Mike asked sarcastically. “I did it. She spent several hours here.” Matthew was very calm, all because Jo had already tortured his car. Mike wasn’t convinced however. “Don’t believe it.” “You are of weak faith, Bro.” “You said it so calmly that I have doubts if she was sitting behind the steering wheel, even for a while.” “You are too emotional about your property!” “Matt, how come you don’t give a shit about your car? Are you a man?” When Mike said that, he carefully observed Matthew's face, which was completely unchanged. He couldn’t believe that his friend didn't care at all about it. “Maybe I am, maybe not… Who cares?” Matthew just admitted casually. “Man!!! Did you give her your car or not?” “A few times, I said, but you don’t listen. After her first ride, she said that it embodies a fascination with cars in its most exclusive and sporty editio
The Bet 32. Loser
“What is the fucking playboy doing here, Bro?” Matthew whispered straight in Mike’s ear.“How can I know?” He answered honestly and shrugged helplessly.“If you don’t know, then you should find out before we pound him. Or do you want me to fuck you up first?”“Relax, bro. He is just my little cousin!”“Collect your brain cells and use it! He is a well-known playboy, who changes girlfriends more often than his cars.” Matthew knew this would speak to him immediately. Pictures of his cousin in new luxury cars appeared in the tabloids every three-four weeks on average. “Do you want her to be hurt?”“Of course, I don’t!”“We have to join forces and get rid of the playboy as quickly as possible.” Matthew had a plan and he was going to put it into practice, but he needed help.Both of them moved a little from the talking group of
The Bet 33. Dr Swann
Everyone fell silent with terror expecting bloodshed.‘Oh… Boy, you're digging your own grave! You don't stand a chance in an open confrontation with Mike!’ Matthew thought.To everyone's surprise, Mike remained cool and stoic. He just shrugged nonchalantly as if he was not bothered at all by his cousin and put his hands into the trousers pockets.“It looks like my little cousin hasn't been to the dentist for a long time.” Mike said mockingly with a poker face. “Or is he in urgent need of a plastic surgeon?”Mike looked straight in the eyes of his opponent. This one seemed completely unaware of the oppression he was in or was just playing it too cool.“My face is perfect! My dentition too!” Julian said ironically. “Why would I need any of them?” He added after a moment of hesitation as he nonchalantly ruffled his perfectly styled hair; his lips stretched into a subtle smile.
The Bet 34. Another jerk
When all the women went to change, Matthew pulled out Mike, almost by force, from the male’s company. He wanted to discuss some strategy, and most of all, prevent his cousin from publicly losing some teeth or a few bruises.“I understand that you can’t tolerate him. He gets on my nerves too.” Matthew tried to be reasonable.“My hands are itching to ‘correct’ that charming smile. I wish I could kick his pretty butt!”“We don't know if there are a few paparazzi lurking nearby. I bet he is just waiting to be attacked by you.” Matthew paused for a moment to give him some time to consider the consequences.“Hmm…”“A black eye, or just a smart face of the famous playboy, wouldn't come off the front pages of the tabloids for the next few days. But what about your reputation? Is it worth it?”"Giving him a good thud is priceless, Bro!”
The Bet 35. Nothing is impossible
Matthew was looking at the angry Mike and at a completely confused Thomas. He was very proud of Jo. He only had a bit of a grudge against Natalie, for taking her cousin with her. It spoiled his plans, but that could wait.He didn’t like Julian. Back in their college days, whenever he came to Mike’s home, there was a problem.Miraculously, a flat tire in his parents' car occurred, or a broken window; they had some laxatives in their food or a punch made of all the alcohol found inside Mike's cupboards, a potion that was impossible not to get sick from after consumption.Many times their notes, which they had to study for their exams from, were also lost in his presence.Whenever Julian appeared in their surroundings, he always did something wrong with premeditation. They wanted to kick his ass many times, even though he was five years younger than most of them, and due to his age they should look after him.He was a spoiled kid who got a
