Chapter 5(A sudden encounter)

He fluttered his lashes and let out a groan, his body aching with pain. Everything was appearing faint to him as he was subconscious of where he was.

His curious hands examined his body, his eyes gazed at the clear skies, it took a while for his vision to become lucid as all that rang in his mind was possibly he was at the gates or heaven and waiting for his judgement.

Alex coughed and managed to rise from the rocky ground which looked like a laid bed for him. It got him perplexed that he was the only one found in this landscape.

The sun had risen brightly and had rested on his forehead which made his skin itch with irritations.

"I survived?" He muttered asking himself because it was hard to believe that he survived the storm.

His eyes studied his hands and feet, they were having some changes, mostly that his legs looks taller. He shoved over the thoughts that the sea must have erase his sense of observation and when his vision becomes clearer, he would discover that he was himself.

The puzzled lad peered his eyes around, and realized he was at the sea shore which meant he was alive and the water must have wash towards the shore.

This could mean two facts which was either he was save or not because he could tell this might be a remote part of the city.

He attempted to stand to his feet but felt weak which made him let out a groan.

"Am I crippled?" He asked himself gazing at his legs but then his assumptions was interrupted when he heard a feminine voice yelled from a distance.

"We found him!"

Fear gripped him at once as he wished the sea

 would have killed him rather than making him survive and get caught in the hands of those goons.

"No! I've got to run" he whispered attempting to rise again but then realization struck him when he heard a chain rattle not too far from his leg. It dawn to him that his left leg was chained to a rock at the bottom of the sea.

Alex crawled to where the lock could be hastily as he intended to break.off from the bondage. Footsteps began to approach closer which made him more bewildered and craved for survival from whatever beast headed his way which of course where the goons after his life.

"Ethan!!"

More voices echoed as they drew near to the being chained by the sea shore.

Alex covered his face with his palm after countless efforts of getting out of the chain had failed. It was over for him, he didn't want to lift that petrified face to face these men who wouldn't spare him.

His life was going to be waste at such an age when he haven't even taken a glimpse at his future and if his dreams would ever come true.

Those fears was suddenly lifted when he felt a warm embrace and tears sinking on to the off white shirt he wore, he felt this woman's gown covered almost all his body. He raised his head slowly to take a look at who was hugging him rather than killing him in cold blood.

His eyes quickly detect that she was wearing a wedding dress which was covered in mud, her umber coloured hair was tossed by the brief wind and it swept across his face that it covered his sight.

"Oh Ethan, don't ever try that again..." Her serene voice cried in his ears that he became speechless to say anything to this woman cuddling him. He desperately needed to have a glimpse at this woman whose warm breath was felt through neck which made his skin squiver coupled with her touch.

"I love you" she furthered kissing him on the cheek and gluing her body firmly to his that he could feel his heartbeat. For a moment, he felt his soul wasn't with him, he glanced through her back and found three men in dark cooperate suits with two women dressed in emerald green skin tight mini gown, they seemed like people whined from chasing after something.

Their hairs were ruffled, each panted for air as the two ladies bent slightly with their hands on their knees to support them from falling. This woman wasn't even letting him be as she wouldn't let him out of her grip.

At last, he terminated the hug, held her arms while saying;

"Who are you?"

This woman narrowed her eyes, shoved her face to the five behind her and then at him.

"Ethan what's wrong with you? You barely survived..."

"Hold on...whose Ethan?" He cuts in confused as these people looked strange from those chasing after him last night.

His lips suddenly fumbled when his eyes met with this woman, who made his heartbeat slow and his though void.

She was a beautiful lady with blue eyes that looked like crystals enwrought in snow, her red battered lips sinked with trembling that he suddenly desired to lock them with his. Her skin glowed under the radiant of the sun and those tears that flowed from her eyes desired to be wipe off by him. 

"I think boss is having mental issue" the first began as the second hurried up to release him from the chains bounding him from rising.

Alex shook his head attempting to jerk back to reality but it wasn't working because he still finds himself with this woman and five others who accorded with respects. How could he be thinking of a woman who was was way older than him instead of figuring a way out of this shred.

"Where am I? Are the cops or something?"

The woman bursted into more tears at his questions were heartbreaking, if he couldn't recall her, then who else was he going to recall?

He winced as the chain came off his leg, why was he chained? And who are these people? No one was giving a respond as they were all perturbed about him that what he said didn't click their memory.

The second and third man assisted him to get on his feet while the two ladies consoled her to be calm.
