Grey walked through the crowd. Some people were leaving and asking questions, while others were taking photos and making calls.
He approached the car that he knew had hit him first, wondering about the condition of the person inside. As he peered inside, he saw that the driver was a young woman, her face slumped to the side with bulging eyes.
Grey was stunned, and his heart felt like it stopped for a moment. He quickly approached, but a man standing nearby exclaimed, "Poor thing. She's so young."
"Is she dead?" Grey asked.
"I already checked, and it seems like she is," the man replied.
Grey approached to make sure, feeling a mix of emotions. He wondered if Hela had deliberately crashed into his car, intending to kill herself and Keyara. The thought made Grey dizzy, and his body swayed before being caught by the person next to him.
"Are you okay, sir?" they asked.
Grey shook his head, then held his head. He only now felt the pain in hi
At that moment, a healthcare worker approached Grey, "Sir, you haven't finished your examination yet. Come here, please!" the worker said to Grey.Grey turned to the healthcare worker and nodded. One of the police officers on the scene immediately approached Ares."Sir, I would like to ask for a statement about the victim," the officer said to Ares.Finally, Ares and Grey were separated, but Ares' eyes were still fixed on Grey. Something fierce glimmered in his eyes. He felt anger, but he held it back. The sadness he felt was too great. He had lost his beloved sister and he couldn't do anything about it.When Grey returned to the ambulance, Keyara, who was lying down, looked at her husband. Keyara could see the sorrow on Grey's face, even more than before."Gi, are you okay? What happened?" Keyara asked.Grey sighed. Keyara got up from the bed. Her foot was sewn up, and she was going to be transported to the hospital for further examination.
Half an hour after Keyara was admitted to the hospital, Ms. Mia arrived with a pale face. The middle-aged woman came with Nick, who was on a break from college and at home. When Mama heard about Keyara's accident, she found Nick playing a game. Upon hearing the news, they rushed to the hospital."How are you? Where's Grey?" Ms. Mia asked as she entered the emergency room and opened the curtains separating one bed from another."Key is fine, Mom. She just got 15 stitches and the doctor recommended a one-day hospital stay," Keyara replied when she saw her mother examining her body and checking for the location of the injuries from the collision."My heart almost stopped when I heard about your accident. Where's Grey?" Mom repeated her question about her son-in-law.Keyara touched her mother's hand, stroking it while saying, "Grey went back to the office.""Oh my god, is he okay? Why did he go back to the office?""Grey's condition is fine. He
Anya entered Keyara's seemingly empty workspace, she looked around to the left and right and saw Sean busy sucking on a lollipop. "Where's Keyara?" Anya asked Sean. "She hasn't come yet," Sean replied, pulling the lollipop out of his mouth. Anya then left the Chara division area and met Ruri, who had just entered the office and was walking toward her workspace. "Hi, Nya," Ruri waved her hand in greeting. "Hi," Anya replied shortly. "Looking for Keyara?" Ruri asked again. "Yes, it's strange. Why hasn't she come?" Anya said, then quickly left to buy coffee. When she returned, Anya deliberately passed by Chara's room to see if Keyara was there, but she didn't see her. Anya then sat next to Ruri. "Why?" "Keyara hasn't come yet." "Oh, that's strange." "Isn't it?" As Anya and Ruri were having coffee, they looked down the hallway and saw Tony and Brian coming toward them. "Hi," Tony said when he saw the two girls. Anya nodded, then Tony approached her and Ruri. "Hey, are you go
Berry handed over a file to Ares who stood at Hela's funeral. The burial had been done an hour ago, and all the mourners had left. Ares was the only one left, wearing black sunglasses. Losing Hela felt like a dream, and all that was left in Ares' heart was a mix of anger and grief."Sir, I have found the data as you instructed," said Berry, producing a piece of paper. Ares received the paper and looked at it."Keyara Johnson. Is that her name?""Yes, based on the photo you gave me. As you suspected, she is in the hospital. According to the police, she is one of the victims. This woman was in the same car as Grey Reed."Ares took off his sunglasses, looked at the paper, and crumpled it. "CCTV footage?""I tried to access the CCTV in the area and found some vehicles that had CCTV in their cars. I found that Hela did pass through that road, but suddenly her car turned around and then drove at high speed. That's why Hela crashed into Grey's car."
The pain of losing Hera caused Ares to accumulate something within his heart; revenge. Anger and sadness merged into one, giving birth to hatred and also vengeance.When someone is struck by unbearable misfortune, they will look for ways to vent it out. It can be directed towards others or oneself.Ares would not vent it out on himself, as he believed he had done his best for Hela. However, his overflowing hatred, grief, and anger needed an outlet. And his thoughts drifted to Grey, especially finding the man standing in front of his sister's corpse. The man shouldn't even be within a hundred meters of Hela.The man should stay away as far as possible from Hela, even if the body of his little sister was lifeless.The fact that Grey was at the accident scene made Ares even more disgusted and hateful toward Grey.It felt like hitting the man was not enough to quell his anger and sadness. Ares' sadness did not dissipate; instead, as Ares realized,
After writing his name clearly, Ares gave a smile to the nurse who was staring at him intently. Ares was too focused on his plan to kill Keyara that he didn't realize the nurse's eyes were admiring him.Ares was indeed blessed with perfect handsomeness. Sharp eyes, thick eyebrows, strong chin, prominent nose, and thin lips that looked tempting. It was natural for someone who looked at him for a moment to be fixated and then create admiration.Perhaps after the murder Ares intended to commit, the nurse would remember him vividly and be able to describe his characteristics well, as his strong figure would stick in a woman's mind.However, if that were the case, Ares didn't care. Even the fact that he would have to go to jail for his daring act didn't bother him.His heart was so painful that he found it hard to breathe. The death of his only sibling, his only family, left a big hole in his chest. Slowly, he walked down the hospital corridor, occasionally gl
Keyara felt like she was thrown into an overwhelming sense of drowsiness, and in just a matter of a minute, the girl's eyes closed and her body went limp. Ares had injected Keyara with a small dose of anesthesia, enough to make her sleep for a few hours. Keyara's unconscious body fell into Ares' arms, and he slowly laid her on the bed. Ares then hurriedly left Keyara's room and came back dragging a wheelchair.Next, Ares carried Keyara's body and transferred her onto the wheelchair. He then took a jacket and put it on the girl, followed by her shoes. Afterward, he put sunglasses and a wig on her. Upon seeing the result of his work and the transformation of Keyara's appearance, Ares smiled satisfactorily. He approached Keyara, adjusting her head which was slightly tilted.Ares had to make sure that Keyara appeared to be a person in a wheelchair and conscious. By disguising her with a wig, jacket, and sunglasses, Ares hoped that no one would recognize her. This would all
The sedative reaction of the drug can make people sleep for hours. And it made Keyara fall into a deep sleep, unaware that she had been moved from her room in the ward to a black car.Ares looked like he was singing freely without worrying that his voice would disturb Keyara who was sleeping. He felt very happy. All his plans were going as he had predicted.Ares was a smart and clever man. He was a great planner, if not, he would not be able to be a CEO of a financing company that focused on the ability to plan something, and then predict what would happen in the future.Ares smiled, imagining how panicked they would be and how they would investigate the place of treatment. Ares even tore the guest book where his name was written. At least the game wouldn't be fun if Grey already knew him as the kidnapper.Ares' murder plan had now turned into a kidnapping. Ares wanted to give a disaster that Grey would never forget, just as the wound in Ares' heart was n
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
