Chapter 11: HE'S NOT ORDINARY
Mrs. Carrington forced a bright smile through the tears that refused to stop pouring from her eyes. Her daughter waking up again stirred her emotions. She thought she already lost her precious daughter.She looked away from her daughter, wiped below her eyes and looked back at her when she was sure her eyes were dried. She swayed her head gently, forcing a bright smile to reach her eyes."I'm not crying darling. I'm not.." He voice trailed off, the reality crashing against her emotions, forcing out tears of joy. She clung to her daughter's wrist, refusing to let go of her as though she might fade away again at the slightest space.Dr. Marcus Williams and his teams of experts stood still at lost, completely stunned by the entire thing happening like it was all an unrehearsed scene in a movie they suddenly became side characters at."How..how is that even possible?" One croaked, his voice catching in disbelief mixed with awe."I have never seen anything like it." Another muttered, und
Chapter 12: THE DRUG DEAL
Kade walked past the Doctor, Mr. Carrington approached him with the obvious hesitation of someone who knew the wrong he'd done earlier.His voice was quiet, lacking the usual firmness it usually carried."Mr. Crowe," he started quietly, "what happened earlier was a misunderstanding.." He paused, a man of his status wasn't used to apologizing, but it was necessary at this point even when it felt as though his pride would take a hit."..I'm sorry. And Thank you for saving my daughter regardless.." "I didn't do it for you, Mr. Carrington." Kade cut through his words firmly, glancing at him and looking away immediately. "I did it because it was only necessary. Also, your wife was the reason why I came here in the first place. Not you."He really looked at him for the first time." You're apologizing now because you felt guilty for looking down on me. That's not an apology, you're trying to ease your conscience biting back at you." Mr. Carrington's jaw opened then closed. Kade moved to
Chapter 13: THE EXPLOSION
Kade Crowe sat at the back of the Taxi that drove him to the Blossom hotel. The city blurred past his eyes through the window in streaks of neon lights, colourful banners and passing passengers. The street was still lively by that time of the night. Workers returning from their Jobs, kids playing at the amusement center, their laughter blending together in excitement, roadside stores calling at passersby to patronize their goods.Then suddenly, BOOM!The explosion rang out at a distance across the street, flame burst into the air, painting everywhere red-orange. The street that was once buzzing with excitement escalated into chaos immediately.Collective screams echoed the air.Cars pulled to stop quickly, swerving off the catastrophe Area. Traffic jam erupted."Holy shit!!" The Taxi driver slammed the brake, forcing the car to a stop with a loud screech. His body jerked forward, the taxi narrowly missed bashing into a car in front."What the heck!!" The young driver gasped.The fl
Chapter 14: TWO STRANGERS
THE VIP LOUNGE OF BLOSSOM HOTELKade burst into the room with the strange woman still balanced in his arms. While in the Car, he was about to remove the shards of glasses pierced into her skin and also stopped her bleeding with the potion he usually go around with.He laid the woman on the bed gently. He stepped back to pull his long coat, but a hang tugged him back, making him stop. Kade turned back. The woman opened her eyes. Barely— blazed and confused.Kade narrowed his eyes on her."Please don't leave me," She cried, her voice small, helpless and pleading. "I..." Her voice trailed off, her grip slipped from Kade's coat and her hand slumped to the side.Kade stared at her for a second then looked away.Kade pulled his coat. In one Swift move, he laid out his acupuncture equipment. Fortunately, her injury wasn't deep. Just minor cuts that didn't damage any tissues. The fitted gown she wore was torn and smeared with blood, it made her breathing and steady blood flow difficult. Th
Chapter 15: THE MEMORY LOSS
Kade moved faster, catching her before the cold expensive marble did.Another gasped escaped from her lips— a sharp choking gasp that suggested she expected a devastating fall, but she surprisingly found herself settled in his arm.The room seemed to pause as Sophia stiffened in the strong arms of the stranger that her only identity about him was RAPIST.Yet she snuggled up in his arm, a Quell to the dangerous fall. She blinked.Kade looked down at her. The whiff of shampoo and something faint and citrusy snuffed out the air in his nostrils. Upclose, the strange woman was even more striking. Her black hair fluttered gently in the air, the outline of her shape delicately carved, holding every feature of her face with perfection that made Kade wonder if she was created by Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty or another being who just took the time to carve her to perfection.This woman was drop-dead beautiful, the face of a woman only seen in magazines cover.In the past, Kade had only see
Chapter 15: WHO ARE YOU?
Kade's voice was calm and unhurried, filled with understanding."If you can't remember anything," he said coolly, "that means you've lost your memory." Sophia stumbled back one step. A Sharp pain struck her head, she gripped her head with both hands, fingers tangled into her messy hair. Her jaw clenched tightly, fighting back the pain searing through her skull like blade. She swayed her head violently, shaking off the fever-pitch sound ringing through her head.She dropped her hand after she regained herself. Her eyes were blurry with tears. Existing without any bits of memories of the past was just like starting another clean life."I don't even know who I am. This is ridiculous." She whined with a small voice breaking with despair."The most important thing is that you survived the explosion." Kade said and looked at her.Sophia let out a sharp bitter laughter that sounded like glass breaking on marble. Her finger dug through her hair, pulling it back in a tight grip. The sheer
Chapter 17: TWO STRANGERS, ONE BETRAYAL
The breaking news blazing on the screen made Sophia's blood ran cold.SOPHIA MERCER IS DEAD IN AN EXPLOSION.The news ticker crawled across the screen in alphabets that claused something cruel and devastating."Sophia Mercer, the first daughter of the Mercer family died in a Car explosion the previous night." The voice of the reporter cracked through the speaker."The Mercer family are currently in grief over the sudden death of their first daughter, Sophia Mercer who was returning from Paris to reunite with her family after fourteen years. Eye witnesses to the scene were investigated by the press and police, explaining the car was driving too fast, overtaking other cars on the road. Police investigated the scene thoroughly with their technical department. The accident was concluded to be caused by overheated engine. A few witnesses explained that;"The screen shifted.A man appeared on the screen. One of the accident witnesses."The car was speeding too fast that night before it sud
Chapter 18: THE DEVIL SHE KNEW
A stunning silence stretched through the room following Kade's revelation. Sophia stared at him intently, a series of emotions flashing across her expression. Surprise, shock and suspicion— The suspicion that Kade might be just another person her family sent after her life."Meeting you was just a coincidence," Kade said knowingly, seeing the suspicion in her eyes. He paused briefly and continued with the calm voice of a man who had disposed of what should have hurt him. What remained was the quiet oath of revenge."Your stepsister framed me for the murder of his secret lover who was never dead. Your family, the Mercer and the Moore only wanted to dispose of me so that Jack marry Cassandra." Kade sank into the chair and leaned back with a relaxing posture like he was merely recounting a random story."At first when we got married, it was peaceful. I thought they accepted me. But they were only tolerating my presence with Cassandra." He continued.Sophia listened."Things changed f
Chapter 19: ARROGANT PUNK
Sophia's fingers closed hard, nails digging crescent into her palm, searching for blood.Only one thought consumed her mind at the moment.Revenge.Her eyes darkened, her jaw set in determination."I will get back everything they took away from me and I'll make them pay. All of them." She walked closer to Kade who seated calmly , leaning his back against the chair in relaxed posture."I need your help." She said, almost persuading. "We have the same goal now. Revenge. Let's work together." Kade chuckled, sitting straighter and looking at her."And what makes you think I can help you?" "Because you're capable." She said confidently. Kade raised a brow, clueless about her statement. "You rescued me from that accident that night when no one could help me. You're capable." "That's assumption." Kade said."It's fact." She retorted quickly."You're going to a war with no memories. That's suicide. Even I'll help you, it's a blind war." He exhaled sharply. "The Mercer family you knew when
Chapter 20: THE PLAN TO TAKE IT ALL
Kade and Sophia returned back to the hotel with the shopping bag spilled behind them on the bed. Suits, pants, and other kinds of clothes that would make the task ahead goes smoothly.They both stood at a table at the centre of the room, bright light cast on freshly printed documents that contained the operational blueprint of the Mercer headquarters.Kade pointed at one. "Mercer headquarters has nine major departments." He said, his voice sharp. "It won't be easy to get all information from the department. You infiltrate, then you use the charismatic charm on them. Only then can you make alliance." He said.Sophia nodded in understanding."So, you'll be working here." He circled one department on the sheet."Finance department." Sophia said Sharply, looking at him."Yes. The finance is the powerhouse of any organization. Every operation, every deal, every exchange, and every investment Mercer are making, even the lists of their shareholders, you'll get to have the information." Soph
