Chapter 1 - Tragedy Struck

last update Last Updated: 2022-04-18 19:27:30

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.

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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    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

His angry command did not bother her in the slightest. "Stand down," another woman's voice appeared from outside the room. Everyone was confused, but the elites' soldiers knew who it was. They lowered their guns as the woman emerged. It was no other than Addison Scott, the woman who was furious at Dianne Reeves, who is now on her side to stop the war. The two women stood side by side as both their power was stronger than Mr. Damos. He had no match as Dianne controlled the syndicate members, and Addison controlled the elites. "What is this?!" Mr. Damos was in disbelief, he couldn't move. He was cornered. Before he knew it, the syndicate members rose from the ground and made a path in the middle of the room for Dianne. Silvester couldn't take his eyes off of the woman he loves and so does his brother. The two of them ma

They underestimated the supreme leader, and now, they're paying for the price. "Where is he?" he asked in a menacing and deep voice as he grabbed the man's collar with a gun pointed at his head. The man did not answer. Silvester sensed someone running beside them that he lifted the gun and shot the man. "Now, where the fuck is he?" He was running out of patience as he questioned the man in front of him again. "One…" he stated. "Two…" When the count reached three, Silvester pulled the trigger and the man dropped to the floor, dead. They have been in a constant battle in this building for the whole day. There were many floors and many men inside the building. With joined forces with different syndicate leaders, they were able to stop the men they had to fight from the elites. It was strange to find some syndicate men fighting the

    Every step he takes, the anxiety inside him increases. The door to where Dianne was staying was only a few feet away but he wanted to backtrack. Kronos did not give him any context and just led him here which scared him. "You can enter," Kronos said in a low tone and Silvester gulped. Silvester grabbed the door handle and gripped it tightly. He kept praying to God that she was alright before finally opening the door and seeing her on the hospital bed, sleeping. He clenched his jaw and slowly got closer. "What's her condition?" he asked the doctor. "Her body is exhausted. However, she is showing signs that she is recovering. We will examine and do checks on her every so often," he explained and Silvester nodded his head. He asked the doctor and guards to leave the two of them alone and so they did. Silvester grabbed a chair and placed it next to her bed. He deeply sighed before sitting down as he stared at her. She was pale as a ghost and cold as ice when he touched her hand to

    "FUCK!" RAE was bitten and kicked so that his hand loosened the grip on Eva. She turned around and jolted in his direction as she tried grabbing the gun. "Why even do this?" he asked in confusion but she did not answer. She kicked his stomach but he held her foot in place. The two looked at each other for a moment before Rae smirked evilly and pulled her foot. She fell to the ground before he bent down and apprehended her hands while the gun was pointed at her head. "We have your family, remember?" Rae asked, knowing they are in Silvester's mansion. Eva's laughter of disappointment rhymed along with the waves of thunder. "His fucking dad got them, you idiots!" she screamed in anger as she remembered what happened that day. She was hiding from the syndicate when Mr. Damos was the one who was the first to find her. The following morning, he instructed her to walk in the streets until Rae got a hold of her. It wasn't a coincidence that they met that day, it was set up. She was forced

    Mr. Damos turned over and was in fury upon seeing more than a dozen soldiers behind Silvester stop the ceremony. His anger was very evident but he laughed loudly. "Pardon him, he's very much in envy of this union. Please, continue the ceremony," Mr. Damos announced to force the ceremony to continue but Silvester started walking down the aisle. Rae, who was Kronos' best man, almost shouted in relief when they arrived. "Mr. Damos, our father, is the traitor," Silvester uttered while staring at Kronos who was nodding his head. The syndicate members gasped. Both current and old leaders were there to witness the wedding and they were in disbelief. Mr. Damos' anxiety grew within him as he thought of a way to turn the situation away. "Nonsense! My loyalty lies to the syndicate!" he shouted with nervous laughter as his eyes panned at everyone in the forest. The loud gushes of wind blew within them and there was silence. "This is ridiculous!" "Detain him." A single command by the supreme l

    "MAYBE he loves me?" Dianne was deep in her thoughts as she watched the rain pour down and stain the glass that shields her from getting wet. Watching the pouring rain while listening to a podcast while thinking of the man that confuses her heart, she sighed in both relaxation and annoyance. Her memory is useless, she wants to know what their relationship was but no matter how hard she thought of it, she simply can't remember. "Fuck!" she screamed as she got up from her seat and closed the television. The only way to find out is if she confronts him. She walked to the door and opened it, only to be blocked by the guards. Her dead stare was like the devil pulling you into hell. "The supreme leader summons me," she whispered like a threat. They surprisingly moved away to let her do as she wished. She almost lost her character for a moment. Dianne cleared her throat before putting on her mask and glasses and closing the door behind her. When she was far away from the guards, she gigg

    A HORRIFYING scene of Silvester's mother with blood all over her body chasing him down made him jump from his seat with sweat running down his face. He looked at his surroundings in worry but found Dianne on the couch staring at him confusedly. "I thought your wounds hurt," she pointed out while looking at his abdomen. He blinked a couple of times before clenching his wounds and falling to the ground, "Oww," he exaggerated. "Are you okay? Looked like you were having a bad dream," she murmured before her gaze turned to the TV in front of them. Silvester glanced behind his back and hit the couch after getting scared of the zombie on the screen. "Jesus Christ!" he screamed before holding his heart. Dianne laughed at his reaction and he sighed, now knowing why he suddenly had a nightmare. He fell asleep on her shoulder earlier and was not aware of what she was doing. He was surprised that she stayed. He thought she would have left already but she did not. There's progression to th

She was displeased by his response. Dianne stopped talking with him and he was told to get lost. He sighed heavily while staring at a glaring Dianne. He's glad to see her safe and still sassy. "Why do you want to sneak out anyway?" he asked with suspicion about what this woman is up to. Dianne blinks, even though she has no clue why she would want to see Silvester, the reason she wants to sneak out and disobey Kronos. She groaned in frustration before sitting down. "Just 'cause!" She tried reasoning which he found laughable. He crossed his arms with a smirk before uttering, "I'm not taking you if you don't tell me." She did not say anything. He walked to the door and grabbed the handle. "Okay then," he teasingly said before opening it slightly. Dianne groaned as she shouted, "Wait!" He smiled lightly, predicting her acti
