“Yeah, we did it.”
I smiled, accepting the bouquet with one hand and wrapping the other around Brielle’s shoulders.
Turning to the crowd, I announced proudly that she was my girlfriend.
The city skyline lit up with fireworks, and the stadium screens displayed our victory as I cemented my position as the best jungler in the league.
It turned out the entire celebration was Brielle’s surprise for me.
Fans went wild over our genuine connection, calling it sweeter than any scripted romance.
Bm E–Sports became an overnight sensation, attracting sponsors from every direction.
In the chaos of the festivities, I caught sight of Vanessa in the distance, clutching her roses with a forlorn expression. She left quietly.
Meanwhile, Griffin and my former manager were utterly disgraced.
I wasn’t about to let them off the hook, though.
I released an audio recording of my former manager coldly dismissing me after my accident, exposing his true colors. The backlash was swift and severe.
Brielle, ever the strategist, went a step further–she bought out my former team’s base and kicked Griffin and the manager out.
The building was repurposed into a dining hall for Bm E–Sports, and she made it clear that any team willing to take in Griffin or his cronies would be challenging the Whitmore family.
With that, my former team faded into obscurity, while Bm E–Sports rose to dominate the esports scene.
In the years that followed, we secured title after title, mentoring a new generation of players along the way.
At an international championship, standing once again on the winner’s podium, I proposed to Brielle.
Tears streaming down her face, she hugged me tightly. “You’re my greatest treasure, Logan. I can’t wait to spend forever with you.”
But the truth was, she was my real treasure–my reason for everything.
After our wedding, we welcomed a baby girl. We named her “Sola, a testament to the love we shared.
At her first–month celebration, Vanessa appeared with a bouquet of pristine lisianthus and a gift.
I was holding my daughter, chatting softly with Brielle when Vanessa’s eyes welled up with tears.
“Logan, if I’d set better boundaries with Griffin back then… would I be the one by your side now?”
“Vanessa, I interrupted, my gaze landing on the flowers in her hands. “There’s no ‘what if.”
“Besides, I don’t even like lisianthus.”
Her face fell, and after setting down the gift, she walked away.
Before leaving, she told me that Griffin had been arrested for theft.
During interrogation, it came out that he knew the driver who hit me in the accident.
Further investigation revealed it hadn’t been an accident at all.
Griffin had orchestrated the whole thing, hoping to destroy my career out of jealousy–for my skills and my relationship with Vanessa.
He was convicted of intentional harm and would spend many years behind bars.
Hearing the news, I felt nothing.
He had only reaped what he’d sown.
It was pure luck that I’d survived and made it back to the game.
Now, with a bright future and a loving family, I was ready to move forward.
Together with Brielle and Bm E–Sports, I’d face whatever came next, one victory at a time.
