Oscar's eyes fluttered open, his mind foggy and disoriented. He was met with an familiar ceiling, and his head pounded like a drum.

As he struggled to sit up, a wave of nausea washed over him as a foul odour hit his nostrils.

But it was the sight of his hands that made his heart race. They were covered in blood, and a knife lay clenched in his fist.

Oscar's eyes widened in horror as he stared at the blade, his mind reeling with questions. What happened? And whose blood was this?

Panic set in as he stood up but his legs felt jelly and he staggered backwards but managed to keep his cool, his eyes scanning the room frantically.

That's when he saw her - a woman lying motionless on the floor, a pool of blood spreading from her head like a dark halo.

    Rachel Kim could barely keep her eyes open. She felt exhausted and stressed out from the torture she has been going through for days now. Her body was in a bloody state with bruises all over. Her eyes and cheeks all swollen.Living in hell was far better than being tortured by Oscar Williams or his men. She'd never for a split second think that the Charming CEO everyone knows him off could be this ruthless. She managed to pull her eyes open when the sound of the door creaking open caught her attention. She knew she was in for another round of torture when Oscar walked in. He grabbed a stool by the side and sat in front of her. Rachel shot him a deadly look. If only looks could kill, then he'd have been six feet under. "How is my little prey doing?" Oscar asked, a deadly glare running on his lips."Why don't you just kill me instead? Just kill me you jerk!!!" "No.. " Oscar moved his index finger sideways.

    Althea was stunned by the words of the warden. Did he just say that she has been granted bail? She's leaving? She pinched her arm to be sure she wasn't dreaming but it was true... She's being released. She listened to the words from the other inmates... They kept whispering amongst themselves and asking why she's being released before any of them. While some grumbled that they have have spent years in prison and haven't been released she she is being granted bail without completing her years? "Come out Althea... We're running out of time" The warden said aloud, pulling her out of the trance she was in.Althea began to walk out proudly... grinning from ear to ear. She really just can't believe it."Althea..." She turned when a hand held hers, it was Lynx."You're got a bail? How so? Why didn't you tell me? It isn't your time of release right?" The smile on Althea's face didn't falter."Well...

    Lynx wasn't so sure if her thoughts were right or not. She really can't place it. Althea's sudden release came as a shocker to her. She wasn't expecting Althea to be bailed on a day like this, when her jail terms hasn't been completed. It was just yesterday since Althea left and she really can't imagine that she is now out in the open now! She kept picking her food as she was lost in thoughts, trying to fix puzzles together as her mind was in total chaos. What must have happened? Why the sudden bail? It's impossible for an inmate to get out of prison without serving the jail terms complete. And granted bail based on good behavior... It's ridiculous and impossible. She recalled the excitement on Althea's face as she walked out of the prison the previous day. It wasn't a look of surprise but a happy one.And the way she had responded to her before leaving... It was certainly obvious that Althea had expected being released and she wasn't at all surprised about it.Loosing the appe

Seems someone really wants to wage a war with me" He said, his forehead creasing into a deep frown."I think you should get treated by a doctor!!" Mayra suggested, seeing how severe his gunshot wound is.Oscar didn't respond."Sir, permit me to still suggest you get yourself more men. I mean, to avoid this from repeating itself.." "And then steer up unnecessary comments from people?" "It was just a suggestion sir!" Stated Mayra."Get me a bottle of Scotch... I need some drinks to ca

    Phoenix felt like the stars were on his side today. What an easy way to get rid of Althea. He'd simply just inject her and then walk out freely like nothing ever happened.

She suddenly called before she could stop herself. "Yes!?" She suddenly went blank. Why did she call him in the first place? What was she going to say? "Nevermind!" She said, averting her gaze.. Such stupid thing to say. Silence befell them, but not for long as Oscar broke the silence. "I noticed you had fun with the ladies..." He said, trying to start up a conversation because he hated the way they kept acting. "Yes! I had fun. we talked about a lot of things and I really enjoyed it. It felt like we've known

We perfectly understand that it's been years and you two need to recharge... it's totally understandable!!" Mayra commented, placing the basket she was holding down. Althea couldn't contain the embarrassment anymore ... " Stop it ladies, we really weren't doing anything.. " She defended herself but that earned a chuckle from the ladies.

It felt soothing but after thinking about it and realizing that he was still at the hospital, he jerked up to meet Althea's smiling face. For a moment, he went blank as he didn't know what to say. Deep down, he felt happy seeing her awake but the doctors words to him was still very much audible in his head. That alone made him had mixed feelings.. He didn't know what to feel at the moment, should be be happy or sad. However, he realized that what's done is done and he can't change anything or question fate. He decided to push it aside and just live by the present. Thinking about it constantly will only make him more sadder than he has been. He forced himself to smile, however, he tried to make it look sincere, for her sake and not to get her more worried. "Althea... You're awake!!" He said, reaching out for her cheeks and caressing them slightly. "Yes I am... " She said, her voice low and steady.
