All heads turned in the direction of the smooth voice.

Cassandra's eyes narrowed on the man who walked in casually like it was his authority that gathered all of them round the table. The moment recognition flickered in her eyes, her eyes widened slightly, surprise and disbelief flashing.

He didn't blink."I have no other explanation to give." He said and turned towards the exit again."Securities!!" Mr. Whitmore barked towards the exit.The trained bodyguards flanking the corridor stormed the room, boots thundered collectively, vibrating the marbles."Restrain him!"

    The receptionist was still hissing about BEGGER AND STUPID ANTICS when Mrs. Montclair materialized like a ghost in the receptionist. It was usual for her to walk through the reception. No, She had never walked through. Most staff members had never seen her in person since their employment. Routes had always been by air. Helicopter. Private landing spot at the hospital rooftop that made her unrecognizable by most employees. The room didn't notice her presence immediately but they noticed Margaret, her assistant. Her face. "Who made the order?!!" Mrs. Montclair growled, composure wavering. She cast hard gaze on the employees. "She did—" Margaret nodded at the female receptionist. She jerked up.

    The sight hit Benjamin like a physical stab to the heart. The familiar face of Alfred Storm under the white sheet, a stiff thing— his eyes shut, face paled like the ghost he became about an hour ago. His body was disfigured with cuts from whatever sharp objects that marked his body from the terrifying accident taking his life and smile that was once warming on the screen. On his chest, precisely where his heart was placed, a deep gash ran deep into his flesh from merciless iron rod. Dried blood could be seen around the place. Benjamin's chest hammered. His knee snapped outward as a wave of despair struck him. He gripped the bed frame for support, his heart racing erratically. Staring at the cuts on his body, he could only imagine the terrifying pain he went through before he died under the truck. The pain, the helpless cry, the struggle through the blood. Benjamin's knee finally gave out beside the bed with a sharp crack against the marble. He held his stiff hand, shaking it g
