The Chosen One Returns: Dark Days

chapter 7 Mr. Achveil

Jack excused Lena, ordered her to leave so he could enjoy his night, The first night as a multimillionaire!.

He settled into his brand new Ferrari, feeling like a king. The sleek design and powerful engine roared to life as he started the car. He put it in gear and hit the open road, feeling the wind in his hair and the rush of adrenaline in his veins. He smiled and put on the radio and turned into a music station.

"Yoo!".

he sped down the highway, the city lights blurring together, Jack felt a sense of freedom he'd never experienced before. The excitement was too much, then, the unexpected happened as the speedometer climbed higher and higher, Jack was confused, as he tried to hit the brake, but he became stiff, he couldn't even raise his leg.

He gazed up to see a pedestrian stepping into the crosswalk ahead. The car was going too fast and there was a hundred percent chance he would collide and make a fatal serious accident.

But then, something inexplicable happened. The car came to a halt, just inches from the pedestrian, without Jack even touching the brakes. It was as if an invisible force had intervened.

The pedestrian was shocked also as he immediately ran out of the way.

Jack held his chest, he could hear his heart beating. It was so loud. He rested on the seat and tried to catch his breath. After some minutes, he became okay and was wondering what just happened.

"Maybe because I was So excited", he wondered, then glanced out of the car to see the tallest hotel in the city. The "de Luna" hotel was quite popular and was owned by the wealthiest man in the city.

Jack smiled, "yeah, I should have the taste of this hotel tonight and get to know the hype".

He stepped out from the car and walked towards the hotel, as he was about to enter, he collided with a lady.

Jack glanced at the lady and was taken aback by the lady beauty, she wore a off shoulder short gown revealing her long leg.

The lady gazed at her with an air full of authority.

"Don't you have eyes, how dare you bump into a young miss Sophia', the bodyguard yelled.

"Bump?, We clearly hit each other, and if one is to balme, he should be your young miss?, Jack questioned with a brow raised.

The lady scoffed as the bodyguard stepped forward, "You shit head, do you know who she is?Kneel down before I crunch all your bones!".

The lady, miss Sophia, was the daughter of the Achveil family. The most powerful and wealthiest family in the city. They control all the forces in the district. They were formidable and influential, they held almost every consortium in the city, no one dared to offend them. They were bigger than Jack's family.

Sophia, who was the president of the Achveil family due to his father's critical condition. She was known for her intelligence and ruthless behaviour. Rumours has it that she once fed the limb of some assassins to her dogs after skinning them alive.

Jack did not freak out a bit, he scoffed, "Why should I care about who she is? I'm also a young master also. I will aplogize but you can't threaten me into doing it!".

Jack had been an ass licker to Emily and his in-laws, he vowed never to be that to anyone anymore, no matter Their status.

Then, Sophia chimed in, her voice was gentle, soft and at the same time firm and cold "Really?, Then maybe I should teach you some lessons then".

"What will you do?", Jack shot back.

"I will show you, and why people call me The ruthless queen", she snapped at the bodyguard who stepped forward to him. Jack Frowned and stepped back, preparing for the worst. funny enough he can't even throw a punch.

As the bodyguard was about to grab him by the collar. Someone rushed out from the hotel and shrieked at Sophia, "sis!, Dad is dying… dad is gasing, he is going to die!".

"What!, Where Is he", Sophia panickingly stated as she sprinted in. The bodyguards follow.

Jack Frowned and decided to turn back, then his doctoring instinct kicked in.

"She is so rude, this shouldn't concern me", he uttered but he decided to walk in to check what's going on.

He pushed the grand classic door and was welcomed by the glittering floor, he could see himself in the gleamed floor. But the hotel was all empty as all the people were packed in one corner like cans of sardines.

They all surrounded Mr. Achveil himself, the greatest, he was the dying one. Doctors surrounded him and were trying all possible.

"You have to save him or else I will kill you all!", Sophia ranted, her eyes red, she sniffled, controlling the upcoming tears. Her young sister held her tightly.

The doctor was trembling, they didn't even know what to do, they were all just running his hand around him.

Jack gave the man a look, and noticed the rhythm of the breathing. And every little detail in his body.

"He will die", He uttered.
