Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - Tragedy Struck

The day was early yet it looked as if the time was almost night. The hour was six in the morning yet the sky was dark and gloomy whilst the extreme breeze felt ice-cold. It wasn't a typical day, it was almost like the Gods were fighting up in the sky. The thunder echoed in the streets, lightning struck parts of the city, and the clouds were ready to pour out their frustration and cause trouble to the humans below. 

Near the top of a skyscraper, the office of a man named Silvester Creed stood. His eyes are intimidating with the color of the ocean as if the waves can be seen in his eyes. His hair is beautifully colored red like a cherry that compliments his pale skin. His nose is pointed and his jaw is sharp and his lips are juicy and kissable as they can get. A perfect man in a terrible world. 

He sighed heavily as he looked out the windows of his office, watching the rain pour down slowly until it poured forcefully. The sun dipped behind the crying clouds as the day grew darker like the void in his heart. A man with a happy family yet with a broken soul. 

His phone started ringing and his eyebrows furrowed. His wife never calls him when he's working as it can be distracting. This might be important. 

He sighed heavily before answering the call and putting it against his ear. "HELP ME!" A piercing scream was heard on the other line and he stood up. 

"Babe? Where are you?" He worriedly ran outside his office with his car keys. 

"What's wrong?" Screaming on the other line was heard and he started running to the elevator. His wife won't answer, she's in agony. He has no idea what is happening but he can only imagine what is occurring. 

"SAVE ME, SILVESTER!" Her screams pierced his ears as he arrived at the elevator. He cursed under his breath to see that many employees are on board while others are waiting for their turn. 

He held his head before scanning the building. He spotted the stairs and didn't waste any time running down. "TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!" he screamed in panic as he ran down the stairs of the tall building. 

He can hear his wife getting beaten up and he could do nothing about it. Her wife's cries were heard while another woman's voice suddenly spoke. "You stupid bitch, now you ask for help?!" The voice sounds familiar yet he can't remember from whom it was. 

"Leave my wife alone!" he screamed as he was getting tired from running down the stairs, not even close to the bottom. He stopped to catch his breath. "You tell your wife to leave ME alone!" His eyebrows furrowed before he started running again. Why would his wife be the one to leave the woman alone? His wife is being attacked! 

Once he saw an empty elevator, he immediately got in and pressed the bottom floor. He caught his breath as the worst-case scenarios entered his mind. He breathed heavily, praying for his wife to be alright. "Tell me what you want. Anything you want. Just leave her alone," he begged.  

Once he was on the bottom floor, he bumped into many employees while rushing outside. He rushed to the parking lot and entered his car without wasting any time. He started the engine as he drove fast. "I'M IN OUR HOUSE!" He clenched his jaw before pulling the seatbelt as he drove like the flash. 

Gunshots were heard and his heart skipped a beat. "CHLOE!" he screamed but to no avail. The other line went silent before faint groans were heard.  

"Is this what you want...?" The faint voice of the woman was heard as he listened with jaws clenched. It seems like the woman got shot. "To have me dead?" the woman continued as he saw their house in the distance. 

He pulled over as he saw his wife and the woman in a white bloody dress behind the window. His heart was restless as he started running from across the street to their house. The rain poured down as it covered the sounds of shouting, agony, and bullets. "I will never die, Chloe." The cold voice of the woman sent shivers down his spine before he saw her raise a gun towards his wife. 

"NO!" he screamed before he reached their door that was locked as the thunder grew mad. Everything was flashing before his eyes. 

"You shot me near my heart but I'm still standing here." He can now hear the woman's voice in person and he closed the call. He tried his best to open their door but to no avail. 

Instead, he backed away. "It's an eye for an eye, Chloe." Her voice was evil and terrifying. Lighting struck near them. 

"Stop! We can talk about this!" Chloe begged for her life but the woman was ruthless. Silvester ran to the door as his body slammed against it, smashing it open together with the sound of a gunshot. The two were in unison but one was too late. 

He stood up and saw his wife's heart with a bullet lodged inside. "Unlike you, my precision is accurate." He looked at the woman whose hair was covering her face. He was too stunned to do anything as he looked at their house, which is a bloody mess. 

"Silvester..." His wife's last words before she perished. He was so stunned as if the world stopped moving for a moment. The thunder grew stronger and the bolts of lightning were worse. The rain was consuming them as it covered the sounds of pain and gunshots. The world was an accomplice to his wife's death. 

"I'm sorry, Silvester." That was the last thing he heard before he was knocked out cold as the sky started to clear. 

Minutes after the incident, the police and medics arrived after an unknown call informed them about the incident. The news spread like a wildfire as they checked his wife for a heartbeat but found none. They were too late.

He woke up in a hospital bed. His eyes shot open as he immediately tried to get out of bed. He looked around before trying to pull the IV lodge in his arm. The nurse noticed this and they told him to calm down. 

"Sir-" He pushed them away as he desperately tried looking for her.

"Where's Chloe?!" he screamed as he got up from the bed as he took the needles out of his arm. "Where's my wife?!" His desperation grew yet no one answered and instead tried pulling him back to bed but he kept resisting. 

"Bring me to her!" he commanded but nobody listened. He didn't have the authority. 

He opened the door as he tried running away. "My wife needs help. Where is she?! Bring me to her! Bring the police! Help her!" he screamed as other patients looked at him as if he was crazy while the nurses and doctors chased after him. 

"Chloe!" he screamed desperately, looking for his wife. The memories of the incident flashed in his mind as he tried getting rid of the thought of his wife dying. 

The nurse who was taking care of him injected something on his arm to make him unconscious. Everything around him started to spin as he was falling to the ground, slowly losing consciousness. Now that he was under control, they carried him back to his room. 

The police couldn't identify who the mysterious caller was. That person can lead them to their answers but she was nowhere to be found as if she just vanished from existence. Everything was surreal, things escalated, and no one found an answer as to who did it. 

A search for the culprit was held but she, who was wearing a white bloody dress, was never found. The woman has many connections and never paid for her sins. 

A month later...

Like the day of his wife's death, the weather was strong. He's traumatized, he's full of anger. Why would someone do such a thing to his innocent wife? She didn't do anything wrong and he wants to take revenge as to who is responsible. 

He breathed heavily before getting out of his car with flowers in his hand. He didn't care that the rain was soaking him. "Chloe..." he whispered as he was walking through the graveyard. 

He passed by many gravestones before he reached the grave of his wife. He stopped in his tracks as he looked down at the ground. "I missed you..." he uttered as if she's still alive. He can't get over her death, it was unjustified. 

Tears fell down his eyes, clearly broken. He clenched his fist as he started to squeeze the flowers he bought for her. Disappointed at himself for trying to save her to no avail, he can't forgive himself nor the killer. 

"I should've been there for you," he uttered before wiping his tears and taking a deep breath. He bent down and placed the flowers down. 

"I'll take revenge for you, mi amore. I won't stop until I find out who killed the love of my life." He promised to himself that no matter what happens, despite the justice being on his side, he was ready to do the injustice and take the life away from the woman who killed his wife. 

The sky cleared and he stood back up. A woman in a black hoodie watched from afar as she saw how miserable he is because of his wife's death. She heavily sighed, guilty about what happened. But she knows what was right, killing her was justified but Silvester doesn't know that. Even if she tells him what actually occurred, he'll still take his wife's side.

She did the unjustifiable act to save herself. "I'm sorry," she whispered before holding her heart. She could've been the one dead, an inch closer and her life would've been taken away but she survived. This is what makes her stronger. Enemies tried to take her down but she was resistant to live her life.

Chapter 2 - Drunk Kiss
3 years Later… On a cold night filled with the sound of the howling winds and the night owls, Silvester was walking around the city as he tried to find the culprit who killed his wife. Three years after her death, she was still not given justice. The case was dropped suddenly and he couldn't do anything to give his wife the justice she deserves.    Despite being a lawyer, he is now carrying a gun behind his pocket as he silently scans people around. An anonymous man gave him the location of the culprit. Despite doubting the caller, he still agreed to go. This might be the only chance he can find the person behind the assassination.    Wearing black genes and a dark blue hoodie, he followed behind people to see who looked suspicious enough that he would find them highly skeptical. If the culprit sees him, they'll surely tremble from guilt.   He accidentally bumps into someone while walking. He s

Chapter 3 - Temptation
"You're drunk," he uttered before pushing her back to the sofa. He sighed before standing up and messing his hair. This is bad.  He looked down at Dianne who was clearly still under the influence. He shouldn't take advantage of her. A man should take care of a drunk woman, not take advantage of her.  He left her there to get some spare clothes for her. After getting an oversized shirt and underwear for her, he returned to the living room but found no soul. He immediately started looking for her and upon entering the kitchen, he saw her throw a kitchen knife in his direction and he quickly dodged it as it hit the wall.  "He cheated on me!" She cried loudly as his heartbeat was rapid from almost getting pierced by a knife through his heart. He didn't know she had the skills of an assassin.  She grabbed another knife and he ran to her and took all the knives away. "I hate… him

Chapter 4 - Broken
Dianne woke up with a massive headache due to drinking all night. Upon opening her eyes, she was horrified to see herself in a completely strange house. "Please, tell me it wasn't a one-night stand," she whispered under her breath. She took a deep breath and looked under the sheets and saw she was wearing different clothes. Her face suddenly became pale and she stood up from the bed, dizzy as fuck. She looked around the room and noticed it was an extravagant room, probably the master's bedroom. She took her phone and wallet on the side table. She gulped and breathed heavily before walking to the dresser where a picture frame is turned to the fall. She shakily grabbed it before turning it around before the shock made her fall to the ground. "Holy-" She covered her mouth in horror as she stared at the picture of her ex-boyfriend and his late wife, Chloe, in a happy portrait in Paris. She stood up from the ground as her heartbeat was rapid. She got out of the room and came face to

Chapter 5 - Auction Chaos
"Dye my hair red." Dianne looked in the mirror smiling to herself as she listened to the soft music in the background. The woman nodded before she let Dianne lay down to wash her hair first. It was a sunny day, the perfect day for a woman like her. She hates the mud, hates getting wet, and feels sad on a rainy day. Once her appointment was done, she looked at herself in the mirror with a smirk before looking at her red painted nails that are sharp enough to slice a man's neck. "Looks great," she said before handing the woman her credit card. She put her wavy long red hair behind her ears before another woman was sent to do her makeup. "I'm going on a… date," she explained and the hairstylist smiled. "Must be romantic," the woman commented with a giggle. "More like bloody," Dianne whispered and the woman's smile fell. "P-pardon?" Dianne ignored her before checking her phone. A show will begin in an hour, let it be brutal and bloody. Once she was ready, she put on a silk red dress

Chapter 6 - Threatened
SILVESTER couldn't forget the way Dianne presented herself. Her red hair, ocean eyes, and tattoos on her back were something he could never forget. Marks of lashes are evident under the tattoos. Was she ever tortured? He closed his eyes as he imagined the tattoos again. They weren't merely accessories to her, she didn't just get them because she liked tattoos. But rather, she got them to cover the wounds of her past. "Who really are you, Dianne?" he asked himself as he stared at his ceiling. He splashed his face with water before he got ready. He put on his suit before fixing his tie. Is she really a secret agent? Should I tell this to the police? What if she's not? I'm an attorney, I can't let a criminal get their way, he thought to himself. But I also don't want her to get in trouble… he thought further. He sighed heavily, not knowing what to do. A knock on his door interrupted him and he went to check who it was. He looked through the peephole of his door and saw a man in a s

Chapter 7 - Rivalry
SOMEWHERE underground, the elites held a meeting to discuss the events that had happened. Since their spy has been caught, information can be extracted from him by the syndicate. "How can we be so sure that he won't give out information?" One of the men asked and murmurs around the room echoed. "We should send another person to finish him." Everyone nodded to the suggestion. "Now, who has summoned me from my sleep?" The elites looked at the entrance and there stood a woman with long blonde hair that reached her bottom wearing white pants and a blacktop. Everyone was silent as she walked to the front in her black high heels. She put her hair in a low bun as her blue eyes stared at everyone with a deadpan look. "We didn't know you would return," one of them commented with a surprised look. The woman smirked before leaning back. "I'm back in action, baby," she said with the most devilish grin as she thought of a plan to ruin their lives. "Send someone to the syndicate," she commanded

Chapter 8 - Assassination
Dianne let all her emotions out before the following morning came. Cry now, be a bad bitch later is what she always says. They have another mission, and she chose to come. She can command members to do it for her but she loves the thrill. She's probably the only leader that gets herself in the action than just sit and watch her goons do it for her. "I can't let our paths cross again," said Dianne, talking about her first love. She slapped her cheeks a couple of times before shaking her body. "Forget about it, focus on what's ahead," she told herself in the mirror before smiling. She's wearing black pants and a black hoodie that has knives hidden inside in case she needs it. Since her hair is red, it is too noticeable so she wore a black wig to hide her identity. Once she was finished, she called Harrison to meet her at the underground garage. She didn't get ready in her house, she stayed the night at one of their headquarters while Harrison worked and looked after her. She sigh

Chapter 9 - His Connection
SILVESTER woke up outside his house in the middle of the day as the sun burnt his skin. He groaned in pain as he tried to roll over, only to fall off the steps of his porch. He shielded his face in hopes to avoid the sun before crawling back to his porch. "The fuck?" he whispered as he opened his eyes only to get blinded by the sun. He held his aching head before standing up. The world felt like it was spinning for him as he unlocked his front door. He looked around and found his house the way it was when he left it last night. He sat down on his couch before sighing heavily. Was I really that drunk last night? he thought to himself before he took the remote to open the television. He leaned back as he relaxed. He closed his eyes as the television shifted to the news. He listened as he was falling asleep but one particular news caught his attention. "An unknown group killed one of the biggest drug lords in the country. There was no CCTV footage in the bar but there were surveillanc

Chapter 10 - Allegations
Another two months had passed and everything was at peace. The syndicate was in a safe zone, and her company was going well. It was too perfect to be true but she was enjoying the pleasure of the peaceful environment she thought she wouldn't experience. Until a defamation case occurred. "What is it now?" The annoyance is heard in her voice as Angelica hands her a tablet with a news article about their company. She seemed nervous to see Dianne's reaction as she should. Dianne slammed her hands on the table before standing up. She furiously walks out of her office while Angelica, her assistant in the company, follows behind her. "Reporters are waiting outside for an announcement," she whispered."Clear the way, I don't want a single reporter a meter near me," she ordered and her assistant immediately called the guards to tell them what to do. Her heels echoed as the employees in her company moved out of her way. She's a kind CEO yet deadly when messed with. Once the guards opened th
