2022-12-26 13:41:56Driving on the empty highway, Xavier glanced at the front mirror and looked at the cadaver bag which contains the corpse.
This is the 120th corpse that he will deliver ever since he worked in Fugito mansion. It's been a year, but the fear is always there.
To be alone inside the car with a corpse requires courage. Clutching his hand around the wheels, Xavier took a deep breath.
“You are the 120th corpse that I will transport. What is your name? Do you have a family? What was your job?” Xavier asked even if he knows that the dead won't answer him.
This is his way to get rid of his fear. At the same time, mourned for the victim of another cruelty.
Xavier was always curious why there are so many people dying in that place. But for the sake of money, he never asked anything. He abandoned his moral to be an accomplice of a crime.
Heaving a sigh, Xavier glanced at the black cadaver bag on the back seat through the front mirror.
As soon as he looked at the bag, he saw it moving.
His eyes widened with a gasp.
Feeling the chill creeping on his skin, Xavier peered at the mirror without blinking his eyes. He was hoping he was only imagining things in his head. But the second time that corpse moved, he stepped on the brake.
Ssssssssssssss!
The wheels hissed on the road, as the car stopped at full speed.
Catching his breath, Xavier’s hands trembled on the steering wheel.
‘What should I do? The person inside the bag is not dead yet!’
Xavier had already imagined this situation. What would he do if the person who is supposed to be dead was still alive?
The boss only said one thing.
‘Kill it.’
With that in mind, Xavier opened the glove-box of the car. He picked up the knife hidden inside the compartment with a quivering heart.
Holding his breath, Xavier slowly looked behind him.
Everything will be okay as long as he can kill the survivor.
Xavier unbuckled his seat-belt. He leaned closer to the cadaver bag and, with his free hand, he reached for the zipper.
He wanted to make sure if the corpse was still alive, yet, he felt so guilty seeing its face. Can he kill someone who was desperate to survive?
Therefore, Xavier did not unzip the bag and decided to kill the person without seeing its face.
“I am sorry,” Xavier whispered. “I am really sorry!”
He raised the knife and was about to thrust it into the cadaver but… Xavier’s hands stopped in mid-air.
He couldn’t kill.
While thinking of his loving wife and son, Xavier could not kill a person with his own hands.
He let go of the knife and threw it away.
Xavier looked at the blank space while planning what to do next. If he escapes without finishing his contract, the boss will kill him and his family. If he lets the victim live, the ending is still the same.
Kring~ Kring~
Xavier turned his head to his cell phone that was in front of the compartment. His eyes widened when he saw his friend’s name on the screen.
Frederick is calling!
‘That’s it! I can ask for Frederick’s help!’
He quickly grabbed his phone and answered the call in haste.
“F-Frederick, listen to me. I need your help. The corpse for…”
[“XAVIER! WHERE ARE YOU?!”]
“W-What? Well, I…”
[“THE BOSS IS LOOKING FOR YOU!”]
“For me? Why?”
[“ THE MADAM TOLD HIM THAT YOU TRIED TO RAPE HER! SIR CESAR WAS SO MAD HE ASKED HIS MEN TO ABDUCT YOUR FAMILY RIGHT NOW!”]
Xavier dropped his phone onto the floor and glanced at the cadaver bag behind him.
For a year, he became the driver of the dead. But tonight, he and his family might ride in the same car.

In front of the wide blue sea, the red sunset to the West. Blue and Red met on the horizon. “Do you know what will happen if you mix blue and red?” A man with blonde hair and blue eyes asked while holding his fishing rod. "It's Green. The color of our eyes is blue and red. Maybe that’s why your surname is Green.” The other guy looked at him. “It’s Purple, not green.” he answered. “…” A black crow flew in the sky. “Should I laugh now?” Xavier, who still has Haiden’s face, asked. Haiden, who still had Xavier’s face, looked at him. “Shit. It's not Green?” Xavier shook his head. “Damn it. I sound so cool before. Huh! You are so serious, brother-in-law. It’s hard to joke with you,” Haiden said. "But it is not a joke," Xavier said, laughing It’s been three years since Xavier and Haiden finished their revenge on the Black family and on Fugito. A lot of things happened during the three years. Xavier had to continue his role as Haiden Black, the heir of the Black corporation. Jus

“I should have killed you before, Haiden.”Gabriel pointed the gun at Xavier. His eyes went to the note in Xavier’s hand, then back to Xavier’s surprised face.“Were you searching for evidence to know that I am Hades B?” Gabriel asked.Xavier doesn’t know what to feel right now. Will he feel sad? Unbothered? Guilty? He had no idea.“You care for Rose?” Xavier asked.“Huh?”“The passcode was Rose’s birthday.”Gabriel frowned as he placed his index finger on the trigger of the gun.“And this note,” Xavier showed it to him. “You were supposed to send this to Odeen. Why? Did Odeen tell you who Haiden is? What’s his purpose? And that he’s looking for you?”The Chairman narrowed his eyes.“Why are you talking as if you are not Haiden?”Xavier pursed his lips and took a deep breath.“You’re not Haiden, are you?” Gabriel guessed. He tightly held the gun and shouted, “Who are you?!”Xavier didn’t answer as he tightly held the ledger and the note.“When you came back after you went missing, you

Xavier checked every crook but found nothing.Minutes passed.Xavier sighed as he couldn’t see anything in Gabriel’s office.“Is there nothing to see here? Really?”His red eyes went to the table. Xavier recalled the day when he saw Gabriel close the last cabinet in a hurry as if he didn’t want to get caught.‘I already check that place. But just to make sure, I will check it again.’He sat down and approached the

Rose was busy buying shares to strengthen her power over Black corporations.Xavier looked around the place which never became a home for him.‘Everyone is almost finished with their tasks. Now, it’s my turn,’ Xavier thought.He walked forward and the maids greeted him.“Good morning, Sir!”“Hi, Sir!”Ever since Louisa and Brethart disappeared, the maids treat him well. The power changed.“Is Rose here?”“Yes, Sir. She’s in the room.”“Okay.”Xavier walked towards Rose’s room and knocked on the door.“Come in,” Rose said.Xavier opened the door and went inside.Rose was surprised to see him back.“It’s been

“That is what happened,” Haiden said after telling his story to Xavier and his sister, Bridgette. “Now, it solved everything. Since we have Cesar’s research team, we can find a way to bring back our old appearance,” Xavier said. “You and Bridgette had a hard time,” Haiden said. “But call me selfish. I didn’t regret losing my memories and spending normal days with my sister.” Haiden looked at Bridgette and smiled. Bridgette smiled too. “We fought a lot, right?” Haiden said to Bridgette. “Yes. Now I know why. You are not my husband but my brother.” “And siblings always fight.” Bridgette held Haiden’s hand. “Thank you, brother. For coming back and saving me.” The two smiled at each other. Xavier, who was watching them, felt weird. Is it because Haiden is still wearing his face? ‘We need to find a way to bring back our appearance as soon as possible!’ Xavier thought. “Anyway,” Haiden uttered, getting his hand from his sister. “I still have unfinished business with Gabriel.” Ha
