Next Robert Crais

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name. And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. But lust wasn't love, right? Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise.

"Football isn't just a game"—it's life. For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows. But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection. Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star? David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams. Disclaimer: This work is a work of fiction.

"Sorry, Mr. Robert, the prisoner refuses to meet with you." Two months later. "Sorry, Mr. Robert the prisoner still refuses to meet with you." Six months later "Sorry, Mr. Robert, the prisoner is firm and still refuses to meet with you." One year later. "Mr. Robert, sorry, we asked, and she refuses to meet with you, persistently." Two years later. "Mr. Robert, she doesn't want to see you." The female guard in uniform politely spoke to the man in front of her. Upon hearing this, the man paused and then said to the female guard. "You tell her for me that I will marry her when she comes out." Anna doesn't believe that a man who has been in love for ten years will betray her. In the adjournment room, Anna sat sluggishly on the chair. Two days in court left her exhausted. "Robert, do you really want to push me to hell?" "Your father pushed my mother into the sea, and I'll make his daughter's life worse than death. It s fair, right?" Anna eyes were flled with tears, but she stubbornly raised her head and held it back. When she looked at Robert again, she took on a pleading look and said, "For the sake of the past ten years we have been together, would you drop your case?" Robert stood up, looking at her from a high position, coldly snorted. "Heh, I have been waiting this day for ten years. How could | drop it?" Looking at her miserable appearance, Robert heart seemed to have cracked a ittle. He frowned, suppressing that feeling, and cruelly said: "But you still have some time left. Next week is my engagement party with Lily. This is the invitation, and you are welcome to attend." He dumped the invitation on Scarlet's body with contempt, and walked away without looking back. Anna looked at the white invitation letter, as if the last ounce of her strength had been taken away. She fell into a chair, and could not even breathe. When she and Robert were together, he never said he wanted to marry her. Now he was getting married, and she was going to jail. Anna hung her head, covered her face with both hands, and let the tears fall all over her cheeks. When the trial started again, Anna stood quietly at the defendant's table and listened to the judge's statement. " Defendant!" Anna came back to her senses, and instead of looking at the judge, she looked at Robert. Suddenly, she smiled, quiet and well- behaved, just like the first time when they met and she called him "honey' '. Robert.' heart trembled by her gaze as if something was flowing away. "Robert., my father is dead, and he had it coming, and I also have to go to jail." "From now on, we are even! The past ten years, I will pretend I never met you.... Tears broke out from Anna eyes; she turned her head to the judge and said, "I plead guilty!"

As a professional football player in Manchester, my life revolves around training, games, and staying in peak physical condition. My focus was always on the game, but everything changed when I became the victim of a scam, losing $79,000. The financial blow was severe, but the emotional toll was even worse. I had always prided myself on making sound decisions, but being deceived left me feeling vulnerable, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. It was hard to concentrate on my training knowing I had made such a huge mistake. The anger and helplessness I felt were overwhelming. I spent hours researching ways to recover my lost funds, but most options seemed either too complicated or too good to be true. It seemed like every recovery service I came across required exorbitant upfront fees or made unrealistic promises, leaving me feeling more discouraged with each new search. For a while, I felt like there was no way out. Just when I was about to give up hope, a teammate reached out to me with a recommendation that changed everything: Digital Tech Guard Recovery. contact with WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 contact @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com At first, I was skeptical. I had heard of similar services before, but they often seemed too risky or unreliable. The idea of trusting someone again with my money felt uncomfortable. However, my teammate reassured me that Digital Tech Guard Recovery operated differently. They didn’t require any upfront fees, which gave me some peace of mind. With nothing to lose, I decided to give them a shot. From the moment I contacted Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I could tell they were different. Their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely empathetic to my situation. They took the time to understand the details of my case, patiently explained the process, and outlined a clear, transparent plan to recover my lost funds. There were no promises of immediate results, but the approach felt legitimate, and I appreciated their honesty and dedication. Over the next few weeks, Digital Tech Guard Recovery worked diligently, keeping me updated on their progress. To my surprise, they successfully recovered a significant portion of my lost funds. The relief I felt was immense—both financially and emotionally. I could finally focus on my career again, knowing that I had made the right choice in trusting Digital Tech Guard Recovery. This experience taught me to be more cautious in the future, but also showed me that there are still people out there who are committed to helping others recover from such devastating situations.
