The man in dark

SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY

"What's the plan now, boss?" A man in black suit asked his boss who was sitting in front of him, in darkness, with a lot of seriousness.

"The plan was always the destruction of the Watson's, Jonah. It's never going to change until it's done." The man in the dark said to his employee, Jonah who nodded at him with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, boss and their destruction is already knocking on their door." Jonah said with a confident smirk on his face which impressed his boss. 

"Where is 'he', Jonah?" The man asked after a few seconds, noticing that someone really important was missing from the meeting. 

"He had a late night meeting for his personal business, he should be here soon." As soon as Jonah was done explaining, there was a knock on the door and a voice came from the other side of the room. 

"May I come in, boss?" A man in the same suit as Jonah said and got inside the room, without even waiting for the permission which made both the 'boss' and Jonah roll their eyes at him. 

"Here comes my right hand." The man from the dark said and smirked at the new man. "How many times do I have to tell you to come in after getting my permission?" He asked with an angry tone which didn't quite work on the person. 

"How many times did I disappoint you in that thing and you are still expecting?" The supposed 'right hand' said in a casual tone throwing a smirk at Jonah who could only shake his head at him. 

In this world, every person in power has a right hand and a left hand as his or her most trusted persons whom he or she can believe with eyes closed. And those two men in black suits were the most trusted men for the men in the dark who was their boss. 

The man who just entered was his 'right hand' and Jonah was his 'left hand'. After all he has been through, he can trust both of them with everything because they were with him in everything he has been through. These two will play a huge role in the revenge he is seeking. They will help him accomplish the target. 

The destruction of the Watson's. 

"I have good news for you, boss." His 'right hand' spoke up which again brought him out of the thought he was in.

"I love it when you bring me good news." He said with a sick smirk. "What is it?" He asked.

"Nothing much, I just used my charm and waved my credit card a little and a fish willingly got hooked on my fishing rod." The 'right hand' said with a smirk. 

It was indeed good news. It made him happy and accomplished. He felt like he was one step closer to his motive. 

"Wait for my next order. You both can go now. I want to stay alone." He dismissed both his employees before leaning back on the leather chair he was sitting on and closed his eyes.

No one dared to disturb him after that and both of them walked out of the dark room without making another sound. 

He looked outside the window of the dark room from where the moonlight was coming. He looked directly into the moon. 

"Why are you shining so brightly today? Why can't you be dark like that day when I needed you so much? What are you celebrating?" He asked before closing his eyes and getting lost in the past again.

He will take his revenge. Nothing can stop him now with all the progress he made. He was sure of that. 

If only he knew that it's all going to change.

THE DATE 

"What the hell! I can't believe she did this without asking me!" Sarah exclaimed in frustration as she slumped on the chair of the restaurant which her grandmother booked for the so-called date. 

Elijah looked up at her slowly. She was looking beautiful as always and like always, her beauty was adored with frustration toward everyone around her. She was in an office suit, meaning she came here directly from the office, giving her a professional look. 

Her face was adorned with a frown, indicating how frustrated she was about the whole situation. He was already expecting this kind of reaction from her though. Who wouldn't be frustrated if someone fixes a date for him or her with someone whom they were forcefully married to?

"Good evening, Miss Sarah. I am sorry that you have to be in such an uncomfortable situation for me." He apologized in a small tone while looking at his hands which were on the table. 

Sarah looked at him with a small frown. He was wearing a new set of the uniform suit that he was wearing the previous day. She started to dislike that suit. 

"You knew about this date already?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"No, Miss. I was suddenly informed, just like you were." He answered without missing any beat which made Sarah believe him. 

"Okay, whatever. I am not really interested in this damn date as I have more things to do. So, I will take your leave and you should leave too after sometime. I will just bribe the restaurant people and everything will be fine." Sarah said with a small shrug of her shoulders and was going to get up to leave when he suddenly reacted and held her hand which was on the table to stop her from leaving. 

Both of their eyes widened at his sudden action as they looked at each other in shock, unable to understand what just happened. Sarah looked down at the table where his hand was holding her hand and she felt something weird deep down her stomach and her heart did a flip. 

Unable to bear the internal pressure of his hand over hers, she pulled back the hand and leaned back on the chair. They both looked away from each other to take a moment to settle down. Sarah came out of it first and cleared her throat before looking at him with a frown. 

"Why did you do that?" She asked. 

"I… I am sorry, Miss Sarah but I don't think it will be appropriate to leave now." He said while looking down. Her frown deepened after hearing him. 

"Why?" 

"Your grandmother… She has her people's eyes around here to see if you are cooperating or not." He answered and her eyes widened in shock before frustration took over once again. 

"Great! Just great! So, what do we do now?" She asked in frustration while breathing deeply to control her rage. She was feeling so caged. 

"Uhh… how about having a dance with me?" He stood up from the chair and forwarded his hand for her to hold for a dance and there her heart did it again. 

It flipped.
