Chapter 36 - what's going on here?

Isaac and Adonjs looked deep at each other's eyes. After a brief second, the two cracked smiles and hugged.

"What the hell?" The girls shouted

"I thought you guys hated each other's guts now." Akira said with a confused look.Adonis and Isaac burst out laughing, their shoulders shaking with amusement. "You girls really fell for it, didn't you?" Adonis chuckled, grinning from ear to ear.

Isaac nodded, still laughing. "Yeah, we needed to create a buzz around my character, and what better way to do that than to stir up some drama with one of the top champions?"

The girls looked at each other, confusion giving way to realization. "You mean it was all just a work?" Akira asked, her voice rising in surprise.

Adonis nodded, still grinning. "Yeah, baby. We needed to get the WWL and NCT audience talking, and now they're going to be eating out of the palm of our hands. Isaac's going to be seen as a top star, and we're going to milk this rivalry for all it's worth." Isaac chuckled, shaking his head. "And the best part is, the other wrestlers are probably buying into it too. We're going to make this a huge storyline, and it's going to pay off big time."

The girls looked at each other, shaking their heads in amusement. "You guys are something else," Akira said, laughing. "But we love you for it."

"Wait, but was it a good thing to tell us this?" Roxannah asked. "Yeah, why tell us ?" Korra followed.

Adonis and Isaac exchanged a glance, and Adonis shrugged. "Honestly, we're not worried about you guys spilling the beans. You're part of our inner circle, and we trust you to keep the secret." Isaac nodded in agreement. "Besides, it's not like we're telling you anything that would compromise the storyline. We're just sharing the reasoning behind it with you. It's nice to have someone to talk to who understands the business side of things."

Roxannah raised an eyebrow. "And what makes you think we won't use this information to our advantage?"

Adonis grinned. "Because we're not worried about you girls. We've got your backs, and we know you've got ours. We're a team, and we work together." Korra nodded, seeming to accept Adonis's explanation. "Alright, we won't say anything. But next time, maybe keep the secrets to yourselves, huh?"

Adonis and Isaac chuckled, and the tension was broken. The group shared a laugh, and the conversation continued, with the guys feeling more at ease knowing their secret was safe with the girls. "So, let's get this straight," Adonis said, taking a seat next to Akira. "Isaac came to me with this proposal from Karmello and Trick. They wanted him to help them take me down, and in return, they'd give him a future shot at the title." Isaac nodded, picking up where Adonis left off. "But I didn't want to betray you, man. You're like a brother to me. So, we hatched a plan to make them think I'm playing both sides." Adonis grinned, a mischievous glint in his eye. "We created this whole rivalry between us, making it seem like Isaac stabbed me in the back. But really, it's all just a ruse to get ahead."

Akira's eyes widened in understanding. "And you guys are using this rivalry to get what you want? That's incredibly clever." Roxannah nodded, impressed. "I have to admit, I was completely fooled. I thought for sure you two were at each other's throats."

Isaac chuckled. "That's what we're going for. We want the fans to be invested in this rivalry, to think it's real. And when the time is right, we'll reveal the truth, and it'll be huge."

Korra leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with interest. "And what's the ultimate goal here? Are you guys going after Karmello and Trick?"

Adonis nodded, a determined look on his face. "Oh, we're going after them, all right. We're going to take them down, and we're going to make it count."Isaac's grin matched Adonis's, and he nodded in agreement. "We've been playing the long game, gathering intel and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And when we do, it's going to be a game-changer."

Akira's eyes shone with excitement. "I love it. You guys are like a well-oiled machine, working together to take down your enemies." Roxannah nodded, her voice filled with admiration. "And the best part is, you're making it look effortless. The fans are completely buying into the rivalry, and they're eating out of the palm of your hands." Korra leaned back, a thoughtful look on her face. "But what's the plan for when you reveal the truth? Are you going to do it in a big way, like at a major event?"

Adonis and Isaac exchanged a look, and Adonis nodded. "Let's just say, we're going to make it a moment to remember. We'll make sure the whole world knows what's going on, and Karmello and Trick will be left looking like the fools they are." The room fell silent for a moment, the tension palpable as the group imagined the impending showdown. Then, Isaac spoke up, his voice filled with anticipation. "It's going to be huge, guys. Just huge."

After the movie ended, Roxy and Korra left leaving alone Isaac, Adonisand Akira. "So, Donny. I could help but noticed you called her "babe" earlier....does this mean everything is confirmed now?" Isaac asked Donny's face turned slightly red as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Ah, yeah...about that. I guess I wasn't as subtle as I thought." He looked at Akira, a soft expression on his face. "Let's just say I'm working on making things official. We've been talking a lot, and I think we're on the same page."

Isaac grinned, a knowing look in his eyes. "I knew it! I've been saying it for weeks - you two are meant to be." Donny chuckled, shaking his head. "Yeah, yeah, you can rub it in later. Just keep it quiet for now, okay?" Isaac held up his hands in mock innocence. "My lips are sealed. But I'm happy for you, man. You deserve it." Akira smiled, her eyes shining with happiness as she looked at Donny. "I think we can trust Isaac to keep the secret," she said, her voice soft.

Donny nodded, his eyes locked on hers. "Yeah, I'm not worried about Isaac. It's just...I don't know, it's still new, and I don't want to jinx it."

Akira's smile grew wider, and she reached out to take Donny's hand. "I think it's sweet," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I'm excited to see where this goes." The room fell silent for a moment, with Isaac watching the exchange with a warm smile. "You know, I think I'm going to go get some drinks," he said finally, breaking the silence. "Anyone else want one?"

Donny and Akira nodded, still holding hands, and Isaac headed off to get the drinks, whistling softly to himself.
