Nothing dangerous
“Hi Derek?” that voice appeared as soon as the door opened.The atmosphere inside the downtown central hospital's VIP treatment room felt so contrasting to the tension that had just occurred at the same time but in a different place. Derek leaned calmly on his hospital bed, letting his gaze fall upon the figure of Allysa, who stepped back into the room with a friendly smile curving on her lips."You're back again, Allysa?" Derek greeted softly, looking at the woman with a slight sense of awkwardness. "You really don't need to bother visiting me like this all the time. I know you have your own busy schedule too."Allysa chuckled softly, pulling up a chair beside the bed and sitting down elegantly. "It's no trouble at all, Derek. In fact, I'm glad I can keep visiting you and see your condition improving here."Derek smiled faintly upon hearing that. "Thank you, but it feels bad to make you spend your free time in this medicine-scented room.""Don't talk like that," Allysa replied quickl
The broken trust
“Just say it, Brian.”The realization that his foul nature had been completely exposed made Brian unable to evade or deny the reality before him. Realizing he was in a cornered position, the man's survival instinct instantly took over; in a fraction of a second, he attempted to rise roughly and flee from the cafe table.However, Fae's movement was far faster than he anticipated. With trained motion under the strict tutelage of the West family, Fae immediately reached into the inner side of her dress, pulling out a small-caliber pistol tucked away there. In an instant, the muzzle of the firearm was raised straight and aimed directly at Brian's chest."Don't move, Brian! Stay in your seat, or this bullet will pierce your heart!" Fae threatened, her voice sounding cold, absolute, and leaving no room for negotiation.The presence of a firearm in a public place instantly triggered mass panic inside the luxury cafe. Patrons sitting at nearby tables shrieked hysterically, scrambling in all d
The Trap for him
“Why him? Why out of all people did it have to be him?” It was hard for her to accept the fact that the person she trusted.The person she thought was her friend, who always took her side, who was different from everyone else. Who didn't treat her like an orphan who was lucky to be adopted by a rich family, turned out to be just pretending and plotting something behind her back.Fae took a deep breath, trying to ease the sobs that still left a tightness in her chest. With hands trembling violently from emotions that were not yet fully stable, she reached for the smartphone lying on the small table in the corner of the recovery room. She turned on the phone's screen, and her fingers quickly searched for one.She searched for Brian's name. Without a second thought, Fae directly pressed the call button, ready to unleash all her anger and disappointment straight at the man.However, before the first ring tone could even connect, a hand suddenly gripped her wrist gently yet firmly. Victor,
The fake
"Why does Father want to see me?” Fae whispered softly.Fae's footsteps echoed steadily down the cold, quiet hospital corridor toward Jacob's private office located on the top floor. All along the way, her emotions churned between feeling guilty seeing Derek's condition and confusion over the sudden summons from her adoptive father. As soon as Fae's hand turned the doorknob and she stepped inside, a tense aura and heavy friction instantly greeted her inside the room with its mahogany wood interior.There, Jacob West stood tall behind his large executive desk, his back turned to the door with both hands clenched at his waist. His shoulders rose and fell, signaling ragged breaths from anger that was being held back immensely. In the corner of the room, Victor stood straight with a flat expression that nevertheless implied deep concern."Father, you called for me?" Fae greeted softly, stepping closer with a hesitant tone.Jacob did not immediately turn around. The middle-aged man drew a
The guest
“You can take turns standing guard with the others, Joe. I'll watch over Derek's room.” Fae, who had just stepped out of the elevator and approached Derek's room, gently patted the shoulder of Joe, who was sitting right in front of Derek's room.Joe gave her a small smile. “Thank you, Miss, I'm alright.” He declined and remained there.Fae nodded at him, smiled, and then opened the door to Derek's room.The atmosphere inside the downtown central hospital's VIP treatment room felt so calm, contrasting sharply with the bloody chaos they had just gone through a few hours ago. Derek leaned half-seated on his hospital bed, looking toward Fae, who sat in the chair beside the bed with the remaining traces of anxiety still visible on his sister's face.“Fae, how is David doing now?” Derek asked in a hoarse voice, breaking the silence between the two of them.Fae let out a short sigh and tidied her slightly messy strands of hair before looking at her brother. “I just got back from outside the
The mad man
“Take me to see that bastard.”That very night, right after making sure his son received proper medical treatment at the hospital, Jacob West immediately strode away with a dense aura of fury shrouding his entire body. His limping footsteps did not reduce the decisiveness of his movements at all as he approached the emergency holding cell in the West family's underground headquarters, the place where Richard had been abducted and locked up under strict guard.As soon as the iron cell door was unlocked and Jacob stepped into the dim room, he found Richard sitting on a wooden chair with his hands tightly handcuffed behind his back and a face still bruised from the previous blows.Without wasting time on small talk or uttering a single word, Jacob immediately lashed out with a series of hard slaps across Richard's face.The sound of the slaps echoed loudly inside the narrow cell, breaking the silence of the night with overflowing rage. Richard grunted in pain, the corners of his lips tor
