Chapter 4: The Collapse of Hope

Chapter 4: The Collapse of Hope.

Max watched the reels on Rayne's social media page from his cheap smartphone as he saw her celebrate with another man.

He realized what had been going on the entire time..

'I didn't just lose Rayne today I lost a part of myself also and I feel so lifeless.' Max thought for a moment as he dropped his phone on the table and laid down on his bed.

'I didn't just lose Rayne today I lost a part of myself also and I feel so lifeless.' Max thought for a moment as he dropped his phone on the table and laid down on his bed.

Max's world started to collapse before his very eyes and his body felt weakened as tears flowed freely.

"Why? Why Rayne?" He asked with tears in his eyes.

"Whyyyyyy? I did nothing to you Rayne. Nothing I actually loved you with every atom of my heart." Max hollered at the top of his lungs.

Max wept greatly as he cried himself to sleep and in his dreams he found a bit of solace.

(Somewhere in Dawn City)

A black vehicle parked somewhere beside a park as a matured man in a trenchcoat stood beside his vehicle.

His Smartwatch rang and he swiped upwards picking the call.

"Hello Sir. Good evening, I've finally gotten the information that you're looking for and to be sincere. He's located right here in Dawn City." The man in trenchcoat said in a strong British accent.

"Well Derrick you know that I intentionally wanted my son to be away for a while, due to the issues I told you about." A matured voice uttered through the smart watch's speakers.

"I'm well aware Sir. I'll do my best to reconnect you with the young heir." Derrick replied.

"I don't doubt you at all Derrick. You've been more like a son to me all these years. I'll like you to delay meeting him for some time, then the full truth will be unveiled." The matured man's voice replied.

"It's alright Sir." Derrick responded as the call ended.

Derrick entered the vehicle as the car's engines roared like a lion.

In it's roar it drove off in a haste towards a certain location as the headlights illuminated the road giving clarity to Derrick.

Derrick manned the steering as the dark coloured automobile moved at high speeds on the asphalt road.

'The heir must return to his throne which he may soon ascend and I'm glad that the Young Master will be in his rightful place. I'll make sure that I'll delay this to atleast two weeks time.' Derrick thought as he placed a call on his phone.

"Hello?" A younger male voice inquired.

"Bryan I'm interested in you keeping an eye on the target. Make sure that anything that'll interfere with his safety is eliminated with the best of the neutralising squad." Derrick instructed the person at the other side of the phone.

"Alright Sir. Your orders have been noted and will be acted upon with immediate effect." The young man responded as the call got terminated.

"I'll do my best to keep Young Master Wonderson safe!" Derrick uttered as he drove further into the bustling city.

Two Weeks Later....

(Max's Apartment in Dawn City)

Max had returned from work atleast two hours ago and he was still looking a bit depressed but in actuality he was so sad.

Rayne had later sent him a message saying she's broken up with him and appreciated him for not contributing anything positive in her life.

Max wondered where he'd gone wrong and why he couldn't settle down with Rayne Williams.

Max's phone rang and it didn't take long before he noticed that it was none other than Gerald calling him.

Max reluctantly picked the phone.

"Hello bro, I don't know what's been going on with you emotionally these days? You've been very very sad these days." Gerald's voice uttered through the phone.

Max heaved a sigh.

"I don't even know what to do anymore bro. I'm tired of all these situations and I can't keep on living on anymore like Rayne has really messed up a lot of things for me. She left me because I don't even have money and she left me because of money. I can't keep on living like this anymore and I know that I'm a failure." Max uttered as he felt deeply saddened with the situation at hand.

"Wow bro. I'm really sorry things didn't work out between you and Rayne, You have to leave this thoughts of you and Rayne before it ruins you. You're a great guy it's not about how much money you have but the character that you show. I feel the need that you have to move on from Rayne." Gerald responded as had advised his friend sincerely.

"I don't know what to do anymore Gerald. I feel so pained at the kind of situations I've found myself in." Max responded to Gerald.

"Don't be pained bro. I really hope that you come out of this stronger and much better than you were before. Don't let Rayne rain bad luck and emotional damage into your life." Gerald replied feeling that Max was now at his lowest point.

"Thanks bro. I really want to appreciate all the efforts you've been putting into make my life much better. I've been so lonely these past few days and I really felt confused but I'll be fine." Max replied softly.

Beep!

Gerald ended the call and Max kept the phone on the bed as he tried to hold his tears as the memories of Rayne came like a flood of biblical proportions.

Max's phone rang once more and he looked at his phone and saw a strange number through his phone's cracked screen.

'The heck! I don't know what to do though at this point. Let me atleast pick the call.' Max said inwardly.

"Hello who's this?" Max inquired.

"I'm Derrick Reynolds and I'll like us to meet. I have a job offer for you." The voice responded.

Max's eyes beamed with surprise.

"What!"
