131 • Red Vipers
Matthew and Charles were alone in the hospital room because Xander had left to go and get some food for them. “How is Henry? is he in the house?” I ask, leaning forward.Charles cleared his throat and straightened his back. “So far they're still safe and I assume things are going to remain that way.”“Good, the moment I recover I need to go ahead and find out the truth. I have a feeling that everything that has been going wrong is linked to the truth about these red vipers.”The butler was a bit taken back “What do you mean young master?”“I just have a feeling that everything is related, the attempted kidnapping and all, it's not just random. I think there's someone behind all of this, maybe it's not just the Winchester's.”The room fell silent as Charles was deeply considering the possibility that the red vipers could have had a hand in what was going on. Suddenly the door clicked open and Xander returned holding packs of takeouts in his hand. But he wasn't alone, behind him was L

132 • Vanessa Will Regret Everything
Matthew faced his mother as soon as Serena exited the room. “There was no need to be harsh to her,” he said. Amelia looked stunned and she faced him. “Her family is the reason why you're here in the hospital and you're defending her?”“We don't have any evidence that they were actually behind the explosion, at least not yet.” “The winchesters are our sworn enemies, they have no business being around. Come on Matthew open your eyes. Do you think that they sent their daughter over to our company for no reason? They sent her as a spy, they planted her so that they could get inside information.”He took a deep breath. “Well if that's true, then why would they have the company where their daughter works bombed?” “Was she in the office when the building exploded?” Amelia watched Matthew's expression shift slightly. “Exactly,” she continued. “This was a deliberate plan I can assure you and the moment the truth about the investigations comes out, Vanessa is going to regret everything.”The

133 • The Anonymous Tip
The mention of an anonymous tip piqued Matthew's interest. “What did the anonymous person say?” He asked.Amelia frowned a little as she tried to recollect. “Nothing much really, just a really vague address stating that our son was in that place. So it took a while, I started to do a lot of investigation on different families that lived there. It was a long shot but we eventually found out that your medical records did not match up with that of your families, in terms of blood type. So Enzo said that you're a close fit and we should do the DNA test.”Matthew blinked in astonishment. “So you're telling me that you have been watching me from a distance the whole time?”“Something like that,” she replied. “But nothing was sure so there was no need to disrupt your life.”“How did you get the sample for the DNA test?” “It was from a drink you took at a bar, Enzo had followed you and was watching closely. When you were done with the drink, he took the cup, you were out with a friend.”He

134 • The Bodies
Vito was coming back to her apartment with a handful of shopping bags, Edward had sent her some money earlier and she had gone out to squander it with Ashley. The both of them were returning back to her condo apartment. They waved at the receptionist and entered the elevator. “I really hate the fact that Darrell is becoming more bankrupt each day, I think it's high time that I find another boyfriend and move on.” Vito sighed. “I've been telling you this for the longest time Ashley, leave that man. Look, I can introduce you to some nice men in the country club and you can get along with them and all.”Ashley smiled. “That would be wonderful.” When the elevator door parted open on their floor, they were moving when they spotted two figures entering Matthew's house. “Is that not Matthew's house?” Ashley asked with a level of uncertainty in her voice. “It is and I'm pretty sure I just saw those men enter,” she added. “And they left the door open.”The girls shared a look with each o

135 • Intentional Kidnap
Henry went over to the guest room where his daughter was and he opened the door. “Honey, let's go,” he said to her. She reluctantly put down the dog and followed her father because she could sense the urgency in his voice. “Where are we going?” She asked innocently.“Somewhere safe,” he replied. Deep down he felt a little sad because he knew that this was not the life he had envisioned for her. But somewhere in the back of his mind, deep down, he knew that the life he had left behind a couple of years ago would come back to haunt him one way or another.By the doorway Charles pulled out his phone and called Matthew to tell him about what happened. The phone was ringing in the hospital and before Matthew could pick it, Amelia had answered since she was in the same room with him.“Hello Charles?”He went silent, unsure of what to say, but then he cleared his throat and spoke, if anyone deserved to know what was going on it was Amelia. “I am sorry that we've been keeping things fro

136 • CCTV Footages
Xander had dropped Lola off in her place and then he went home, she looked so lost in thought as she was in the sitting room.She hugged her knees and stared blankly at the television, there was something playing in the background but she couldn't care less. Karen walked out of her room. “What is going through your mind?’ she asked.“I feel like I'm a horrible person.”“What?” Karen paused, wanting to hear her friend out. “I just feel like I'm a very terrible person because why would I go to the hospital with my new boyfriend to see my ex who just got into an explosion… I mean Matthew qualifies as an ex right?” She asked softly, burying her face in her palms.Karen sighed and then sat down on the spot beside her. “Firstly, I don't think he qualifies as an ex, the two of you never actually dated. Secondly I think it's better that he actually knows that you are dating Xander earlier than later. Look he will be fine, don't beat yourself up. What matters is that you showed up in the hos

137 • Enzo's News
Matthew put his foot on the ground for the first time in two days since the explosion. He felt a sharp pain as his legs were wobbly, threatening to buckle under his weight. He was able to find his footing and stand straight eventually. Amelia smiled, happy that he was recovering speedily. The Doctor who was standing by the corner with folded arms stepped forward. “It's such a good thing that the firefighter got him out before the burns could get to the deeper tissues.”Matthew raised his head. “Where is the firefighter anyway?”“He had passed out after bringing you out of the building so they had to take him to the hospital as well, he should be in one of the wards here,” she explained.“Can I go see him? Along with the other people who survived this explosion.”Amelia was skeptical. “I mean yes, but are you sure you're okay? Can you move around freely? Does it hurt?”“It hurts a little bit but I can manage,” he said truthfully. Amelia turned to the doctor for support and he simply

138 • An Eye For An Eye
The car came to a stop by the beach house. They had been driving for a very long time so it was clearly not close to town in any way. As soon as Henry stepped down from the car, the salty sea breeze crashed against his face. He held his daughter's hands tightly as he followed behind leading them to the safe house. It was a safe house because it wasn't easy to track under property owned by the Houstons, since technically on paper there was no relation between this house and Houston family.“Is this where we are going to stay?” She asked her father, raising her head up.He put a hand on her shoulder protectively. “Yes, for now honey, the bad men are after us and we need to lay low for now.”When they stepped into the house, almost everything was covered in white tarps and it was dust filled.It was expected considering the fact that ever since its purchase, it had barely been used. The interior had wooden floors and pristine white walls. He looked over at one of the guards. “Are you

139 • Healing Wounds
He was turning on his bed, beads of sweat trickling down from his forehead. His clothes clung to him like a second skin, drenched in sweat.His body stiffened on the bed and his breathing was shallow. Flashes from that night were ringing in his head. The solid punches, the beating and the pain. The sound of his own grunt echoed in his ears. And then it was pitch Black darkness, he was blindfolded. The laughter from the men who were surrounding him resonated in his mind. He felt suffocated, like there wasn't enough air getting into his lungs. Everything froze for a moment and the door creaked open. The harsh light from outside streaming into the room. A figure stood there against the light, barely visible. Matthew squinted his eyes trying to see who it was, but then he woke up. With a sharp gasp, he shot up from the bed, breathing frantically as he placed an arm on his chest. It was already morning and he looked around his room, he was alone and nobody was there with him.He peel

140 • Lakeshore Country Club
Charles was in the hallway, dusting some of the picture frames and muttering something under his breath. He was complaining about how incompetent some of the maids were when Matthew walked in. “Young Master, good morning I didn't see you there, how long have you been standing there?”“Long enough to know that you think Lindsay has a gossiping problem,” Matthew remarked. “Anyway I came here because I think I uncovered something about my memory.”Charles instantly paused with the cleaning, “what was it that you discovered?’ he asked, taking a step forward. “I've been having these… dreams, and I think it's memories, I think it's my missing memories.”“Don't you think we need to see a doctor?”“What is the doctor going to do for me? Is he going to help me remember?”At first Charles was silent, but then he spoke. “Well, I suppose it could help to have a professional look into the matter.”His shoulders slumped and he sighed. “I guess.” Matthew looked over his shoulders and shoulders to
