A SLAP across the face was received by Harrison from his father for letting Dianne get lost or possibly even die. It's been too long since everyone is losing hope in finding her. "She is the most important element of this syndicate and letting her die makes you the most useless protector," his father scolded. He never had a great relationship with his father. Harrison was supposed to be one of the leaders along with Kronos and Dianne yet he chose to be an assistant, or well, her protector after her parents died that took him in as their own. "She's not dead. We're still trying to find her," he explained calmly despite the pain on his face. "The odds are slim and you know it." He's right. The possibilities are endless of what could've happened to her but the most probable is hypothermia. Mr. Clive sighed before sitting down on his chair and thinking deeply. "You know Mr. Damos has his own agendas why he let his second son be the leader." "It doesn't make sense why he wouldn't choo
Silvester stared at Chloe with a shocked face. The cold white snow is now drenched in her blood. It was fresh coming out of her skull as the lingering smell of her blood entered his nose. He still couldn't comprehend what happened. It was only a few seconds yet she managed to die. "C-Chloe?" He stuttered to utter her name. He breathed heavily as he realized that she would never open her eyes again. This time, Chloe truly died but was in the arms of her husband. He was a statue, just standing there until Kronos came. "We need to get out–" He stopped when his eyes landed on the dead woman on the ground. His lips parted as he looked back at his brother. "You… You killed her?" The answer was obvious, he was already staring at the answer. Kronos breathed out before he started dragging Silvester away. His brother could only follow behind him. She was the first person he has killed in his life. The weather grew colder as his body turned ice-cold. Images of her dead body kept flashing insi
Silvester was forced to leave the room after Dianne felt uncomfortable even if he just stood there. He was bewildered that she lost her memory. They were informed that the trauma she received caused the memory loss, and possibly worsened it if her memory was lost but still okay beforehand. Brain damage in this condition will be hard to treat and she might end up with no recollection of her memories forever. Yet, they will try to bring her memories back. "You're my fiancé, right?" Dianne asked as she turned over to Kronos. He looked at Harrison for help but the man could only look away. Should he say yes? Should he say no? "My parents wanted me to marry you, right?" she questioned once more and he gulped. Possible scenarios popped inside his mind and they were not good. If her memory thinks that her parents are alive, she has to experience grief again. "I know they're dead," she murmured before looking away. They breathed heavily, relieved to know that she doesn't need to repeat th
The air was dead as they walked to the VIP section of the hospital as none dared to speak. His mother was in deep thoughts as she felt like she was underwater, struggling for air. Getting dragged further in the ocean, it was her doom. She was afraid to face the man she loved for so many years that she'd rather be dead. She has only seen the news about the hostage situation, that's why she did some digging. Dianne might be her daughter for all she knows but they need to confirm it. Silvester opened the door to Gilbert's room before bowing his head. "I have someone who wants to meet you," he uttered. The old man turned towards him before asking who it was. "An old… friend," he murmured as his eyes continued to gaze at the floor. The man sighed before nodding his head. Once he agreed, Silvester backed away and told his mother to talk with him. Her steps were heavy and slow. She was afraid to see who was behind the other side of the door. She gulped as she faced the knob and gripped i
Dianne snapped and told Silvester to leave her alone. She did not look at him, and she did not dare get close to him. He was confused by the sudden aggression. He's longing for the woman he loves, he wants to be with her. "Dianne," he called out in hopelessness. "Don't utter my name," she said, irritated. "Leave," she added before standing up and walking to her bed. He clenched his jaw and tried approaching her but she shouted, "I don't want to see you! Leave before I call the nurse." He doesn't want to start a commotion. He nodded his head and slowly walked out of the room defeated. Once she heard the door slam, she looked behind her and saw that he was already gone. She pursed her lips as she approached the food on the table. Her stomach was starving yet hesitant to eat. After a few more minutes of thinking, she packed the food back up before deciding to leave her room. No one was outside and the hospital was extremely cold. Before she could do anything else, she was approached
Silvester carried Dianne to her room after she fell asleep unexpectedly. He laid her down on the bed and admired her beauty. Her body was covered in bruises that were yet to heal but he found her perfect despite them. He was glad that somewhere in her heart, she remembers her love for him. It was giving butterflies to his stomach. He was going to stay with her till a doctor comes and checks her but a sudden phone call from Rae interrupted his plan. "This is urgent, you need to come now. Everyone is here except you," the man uttered as he ran out of breath. "I'm with Dianne," Silvester uttered softly to not disturb her sleep. "It's important, Silvester. You really need to be here," Rae murmured but sounded unsure. He was about to deny it again to stay with Dianne but he heard his brother's voice. "It's about your mother, hurry up." Kronos sounded serious, like something bad must've happened. Something about Rae, Kronos, and him talking felt off. All of them were associated with Dia
RAE was looking through the woods on the day where they last saw Eva running to with some of the syndicate men. He was carefully examining everything there but was struggling to find any signs of her as if she was non-existent. "How about inside those bodies of water?" Rae asked before looking at the water. "Try finding somewhere there," he told the men and they were on the search for any signs of her garments or her body, if she died. They were also searching for any campsites she could've made throughout her escape. If they really don't find her, the elites must've gotten to her first. He would not give up to find the woman who seemed to have more information than it seems. She's valuable, that's why he needs to find her. "Sir," one called out. Rae turned around and saw him holding a bag. "Look for her fingerprints or anything in that bag." They nodded before proceeding with the process. These men are assigned to Rae, they need to follow whatever Rae has to say. He still has no
ANGELICA came back to the room to bring the coffee she bought when Kronos and Dianne were on the couch while watching the television. Her friend turned towards her with zero smiles on her face as she stared at the coffee Angelica was holding. She watched as Angelica moved, not missing an inch of her action like a lion watching its prey. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Angelica asked with a nervous smile but her friend shrugged before looking back at the television. "May I know what was your significance to my life?" Dianne asked, still not facing her. "We were friends throughout college till I became your assistant…" she murmured as she approached the couple and placed down the coffee when she noticed they were holding hands. "Moved on from Silvester, I see," she said under her breath. "What?" Dianne questioned, not really hearing what she had said. Angelica shook it off with her pretty smile with her perfect teeth. "Nothing, there's your coffee. I also brought some food." S
NOW everything is over, Dianne and Silvester are now living without worrying about death. But, it wasn't always so easy. When the public was informed of Dianne's reappearance, it was not taken lightly. Silvester had to represent her in court to fight for her freedom. It was difficult, but they managed to win. "Thank you." Her genuine appreciation made his heart feel at ease. This woman makes living fantastic despite the problems it installs. She makes his life filled with color and removes sorrows. Despite winning the case, some sacrifices needed to be made. Her company was taken away from her and there was nothing they could do. "I… Everything my parents have done is now in vain." Silvester was there throughout her struggles. Now, they need to start over. He felt nostalgic as he remembered the first time he met her again after so many years. He stumbled upon her with Rae, her then-boyfriend. Silvester and her did not end on great terms but seeing how drunk she was, all he could th
Mr. Damos was in fury, how come she's already awake and now she's back in action? This was not according to plan as his hand continued to bleed out. "Shoot her!" 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
SILVESTER was swimming in blood and drenched with sweat. With daggers in one hand and a gun in the other, the enemies are in shambles facing him with fear. 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
Rae stared at Dianne and blatantly told her no. "But!" He shook his head. He might get in trouble if she sneaks out and he does not want to be responsible for it. 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
