In Thunder bay, while situation at "The MAX" was taking a dramatic turn......a young man in Toranto was standing in his balcony holding a glass of wine and staring at the Full Moon.
He was tall...with an height of 6'2", broad chest , perfectly build muscles and a sharp jawline. In the moonlight, his grey eyes were sparkling like diamonds making him look like some Demi-god but....his handsome face looked gloomy...as if someone has stolen his soul from him.
His hairs were wet indicating he had taken shower, a while ago. He was wearing a white shirt and grey Pyjama bottoms.... with top two buttons open... showing his bare well-built chest .
It was already midnight, but he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even realise it was already an hour since he was standing there.
As he was lost in his thoughts,he heard the footsteps of someone approaching...but he didn't turn his back to look who was there.... ofcourse! he knew who would dare to walk into his room at this time of night.
The footsteps came closer and an old lady in her early 50's was now visible. She was having a worried look on her face and the moonlight was highlighting her silver hairs...making her look older than her age.
" Zie...my child! what is keeping you awake? " she asked in a worried tone addressing the young man.
The young man turned her face towards her and answered with a smile plastered across his face "Nothing mom! I just needed some fresh air!"
He took her slightly wrinkled hands in his and made her sit on the couch opposite him, while he continued standing.
"I am totally fine,mom!.... there is nothing that is bothering me" he assured her, ignoring the suspicious look in her eyes.
This old lady was Mrs. Megan Stocks, the wife of the business Tycoon Mr. Brandon Stock.
She looked at her son, who was standing in front of her....what an irony...the same moonlight that was making her look older...was making her son look younger than his age, but more cold and lifeless!
She searched through his eyes, but he avoided her gaze and suddenly the atmosphere was engulfed in deaddrop silence.
This young man was Zieve Stocks, the young heir of the powerful Stocks family of Ontario and CEO of the Stocks Group of Companies. He was just 23, but that didn't stop him in conquering the business world. From past 3 years he was working day and night, which has resulted in establishing the STOCKS Groups of Companies as a global Giant!
The Business empire of STOCKS Group has flourished under his leadership making him the youngest Buisness Tycoon whom everyone respected and feared. He was a prominent name among the "Forbes list of top 50 richest man" in the world from past 3 years and was a famous personality not only in the Ontario province of Canada but in the entire continent.
He was always busy with his work and rarely came home. Although, the STOCKS family had properties in different parts of the world, Zieve never stayed at one place for more than a week. But, as for Old Mr. and Mrs. STOCKS they lived in their lavish villa in Toranto and Zieve used to visit them, whenever he got little bit of free time.
If it wasn't for the old STOCKS couple..leave Toronto Zieve would never enter even Ontario !
Old Mrs. Stocks was about to say something...but then stopped in between...as if words were not ready to leave her mouth. She knew exactly what was Zieve thinking but she decided to avoid bringing it up as for not to add salt to his wounds....after all she don't get to see him that often!
Her heart ached thinking about the pain her son endured 7 years ago....and was still struggling with it ,till date. She knew how painful it was for him to come to Ontario, but he still used to come for their sake!
She quickly stopped her thoughts from wandering off and stood up. She placed her plam on his cheeks and spoke with a smile "Ok! I believe you...but don't keep yourself awake for too long! You should take adequate amount of sleep or else you will fall ill"
With these words, she hugged him and turned to leave....but stopped mid-way. Then, she said in a gentle tone without turning her face towards him "Don't dwell in the past, child....we can change the future not the past" and walked out of the room.
As soon as, Mrs. STOCKS left the room, the light expression on the face of ZIEVE stocks were replaced by dark and gloomy ones. Something came flashing back in front of his eyes.....he immediately closed his eyes and clenched his fingers. The old memories from the past started coming back to him and with those memories....so was her!
The memories of the girl he loved....his first love....her laughter...her innocence and....then her death!
His eyes became red....he still can't forget the unfateful night when his family broke the horrible news to him.....that she and her whole family was wiped out in a fire accident!!!
It was all over the news for so many days but his family kept hiding it from him...Until one day his mother couldn't hide it anymore and broke the news to him with tears in her eyes.
At first, he didn't believed them but when he searched the internet...it felt like he was hit by lightening bolt! He blamed himself for it....only if he would not have fallen sick and their family hadn't moved from Dryden to Toronto..... something would have been done to save them....She would have been alive!!!!
Traaaaaashhhhh.....!!!!!!
ZIEVE stocks had pressed the glass in his hand....so hard that it shattered to pieces and a thick warm red liquid started flowing from his hand.
He felt little better from the pain that was now developing in his hand...
He bent down to pick the shattered pieces of the glass from the ground and disposed them in the trash can!
He looked at the moon and said slowly "7 years have gone by....but i still didn't let my love for you die....it's still the same...and will remain like this forever....noone can claim your place in my heart....even if you a..rr...eee n..n..o..ttt a..l.li.. v..ve....it just belong to you....only and only to you.......NATALIE SAMRAT!!!"
It was a pleasant morning in Thunder bay and the sun shone brightly. In a special ward of "The Max" a girl was sleeping soundly. The sunrays falling on her face piercing the glass window's made her look more lively, then her usual lifeless exterior.For the first time in seven years, the previous day she had opened her eyes!...and that also when she was going to die!Mrs. Wade stayed by her side whole night guarding her except for an hour break she took in-between, when she was feeling extremely exhausted. She would be back by afternoon and meanwhile, two other nurses were assigned to look after the girl.Natalie was dreaming of her parents when her mind dragged her to reality and she suddenly woke up to the sound of those two nurses, who were discussing something.She made sure not to move or open her eyes and continued listening to them, so as to get a better idea about the situation she was in.The first n
It had been a week, since the girl woke up from her vegetative state and she was doing well under the supervision of doctors from "The MAX".But, a strom was going on behind the scenes, of which everyone was aware except the poor girl.The owner of "The Max " have shown enough mercy on the girl and had given her a place in his hospital from past 7 years but now he was in no mood to continue doing that.A meeting was organized regarding the same to discuss the next step in her case. They were in touch with the police but unfortunately the officer's couldn't find anything about her family. On the Top of it....she has lost her memory!The owner, Mr. Victor Max was a man in his late 50's, although he was a kind-hearted, god-fearing man who believed in charity and this was the only reason why Natalie was not thrown out of the hospital. Instead, the hospital bore her expenses and took c
Mrs. Wade had made up her mind, she was not going to let that poor girl live the life of an orphan in some NGO... fending for herself on the charity of other people. She wanted to give her a normal life and a future she deserves.Mrs. Wade's husband died just when her daughter was 6 yrs old, and then she lost her daughter as well.... if her daughter was alive...she would have been nearly of the same age as this girl.Dr. Andrews was aware about the feelings Mrs. Wade has for that patient on bed number 37.He felt an unknown satisfaction in his heart, he knew this was good not only for that Patient but for Mrs. Wade as well. He agreed to help Mrs. Wade incase, she needed any.Mrs. Wade also informed Dr. Andrews that she wanted to know the opinion of that girl too, she didn't want to hide anything from her.To this Dr. Andrews suggested her to
Mrs. Wade went home happily, not suspecting Natalie even for once.Natalie choose this name deliberately.... FUOCO means Fire in Italian.....and she was not thinking straight....there was only one thing inside her.... fire!!!Yes, she was burning from inside!She wanted to burn her family's enemies in the same fire ....she wanted to grill them and fed their flesh to the hounds!Natalie SAMRAT is going to hunt them down....each one of them who was involved!!! She wasn't sure if there was one person behind it or many...but whatever may be the case....the end of all of them would be the same!!!!Natalie Samrat was a genius, she was sharp not only in mathematics, science and computer but in language too....she was fluent in 14 languages, infact she was planning on learning more after her 13th birthday...but unfortunately that never happened! This tragedy took everything from her...she not only lost her family but also
Mrs. Wade informed the hospital administration about her desire to adopt the girl and as expected they were surprised but happy at the same time. Mr. Victor also took a sigh of relief as deep down his heart he was also ....not satisfied with his decision (of sending her to an NGO facility) himself.He told Mrs. Wade that she was doing a great job and he would feel more than happy if he would be of any help them in future.Mr. Victor was not a greedy man, but he was the head of an organisation and it was his responsibility to take certain measures to protect his associates from any possible threats in the future.He had a lot of contacts and with a influence like his, it was easy to make sure the documentation procedure for adoption was over within a day. He even had a word with the local authorities and got the matter settled for her regarding other required documents.Natalie was sitting in he
The Next day, as promised by Mr. Victor, Natalie received all her required documents which proved she was Fuoco Wade. She felt thankful for this new Identity.This was the first step and she had to still go a long way.Natalie was also feeling bad as she was lying to them but this was the best for all of them at that point of time. She promised herself that in the future she will repay them ten-folds of the help she have received today.As for Mrs. Wade, she will ensure that the good-hearted lady had a comfortable and peaceful life ahead.What Mrs. Wade has done for her, was something no one would expect from anyone in today's world.Natalie used to wear the hospital clothes meant for a patient.It had been more than a month after her consciousness but it never dawned upon her about her clothes.So, on the day when she was to leave the hospital, few nurses
Next day, When Natalie woke she saw it was already 10 a.m. in the morning. "Oh, no! I should have helped Mrs. Wade" she thought to herself and her eyes fell on a note kept by her bedside. It was from Mrs. Wade.She opened it quickly and read "Good morning, Fuoco! Hope you had a good sleep last night. You were sleeping, so i didn't woke you up. As, you know I had to rush to hospital for work, but have prepared breakfast and kept your medicines on the table along with the instructions. Have your breakfast and take medicines like a good girl. I have locked the main door from outside. I will be back by 2.p.m, so we are having lunch together.Byelove youMom :)When Natalie who was now Fuoco read the last word.
It was already November, so in order to not miss out further, fuoco insisted that her exam should be taken as soon as possible.Mr. Victor was not in favour of it, but when the girl explained to him that she was preparing from past few days and felt confident now,he agreed.Mr. Victor had a word with the management of the University and the exam was scheduled after two days.He booked the flight tickets for both Mrs. Wade and Fuoco, as he didn't felt it right to sent the young girl all by herself when she was in such a situation.Initially, he had planned of going with them but had to attend to his wife as she was not well from past few days.The distance between Toranto and Thunder bay wasn't much, if someone chose a plane. It was an hou
Stephen was clearly harbouring ill intentions towards Fuoco and now, he was showing it without fear. She was his hostage, now. There was no need for him to pretend to be a decent guy in front of Fuoco to impress her. As his truth was already out in front of her, he knew he had nothing to loose. He had been dreaming of having her since the day he saw her for the first time but he had to keep his feelings hidden because of Zieve and Nick. He was on cloud nine after kidnapping them and sending them there because he was dreaming of persuing Fuoco without any disturbance from the two of them. That's why, he was very happy when she approached him in the morning and he didn't suspect any of her moves. Little did he knew that Fuoco was much more than he expected. She acted as if she was just a showpiece and didn't possessed real knowledge. She hid her fighting skills so well and made him believe that she was no threat to him that's why he was angry and taken aback, when he saw her fighting wi
Fuoco's eyes become red with anger and she was looking at Stephen as if she would swallow him. She was not going to tolerate his insolence. She was waiting for one wrong move by him and that would be enough to take things under her control. Until then, she had to bear everything and keep her anger under control. Her face had also turned red because of anger and Stephen chuckled looking at how angry she was. He moved a bit closer and begin to move his gun that he had pointed at her head to her face. The Muzzle of his gun was sending chills through her body from where it was touching her soft skin. He moved it from her forehead to her cheeks and then.... touched her lips with it. Her plum red lips were looking very inviting to him and he was looking at them like a hungry wolf. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he could be seen trying his best to control himself. He teased her lips with the muzzle of his gun and Fuoco clenched her fingers so hard that her nails begin to dig into h
Fuoco was ignoring Stephen's eyes but she could feel his eyes traveling her body, which was making her blood boil. She controlled her anger but Stephen was not going to stop there. He begin to come closer and Fuoco begin to step backward. But, after two steps she could not move further as there was a wall behind her. She stood at her place and begin to wait for Stephen's next move. Stephen stopped just a few inches away from her. She could even feel his breath on herself. She clenched her hands into fists in anger but Stephen was still pointing the gun on her head, so, she couldn't act rashly. Soon, Stephen raised his hand and begin to move it towards her face. Fuoco turned red with anger."What are you doing?" she growled as Stephen reached out to tuck a loose hair behind her ear. She was taken aback. She was wondering what was going on in his evil head. Inside that room which was next to where Fuoco and Stephen were standing, Zieve's patience was giving off. He was thinking of break
Stephen ignored her demeanour and the look she was giving him while crushing those gadgets. Fuoco's eyes were clearly filled with the intent to kill. Once, she was done Stephen told her to go back to her place and stand with her hands up behind her head. Fuoco did as was told and went back to her place. She begin to wait for his next instruction but it never came. Instead, he kept standing in front of her with a gun in his hand pointed towards her. Stephen smirked when he saw Fuoco obeying his instructions obediently. He was staring at her and his eyes kept traveling from her head to her body till her toe. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he looked divided as if he was not being able to decide what he should do. Fuoco could feel goosebumps as Stephen's eyes travelled and scanned every inch of her body. She could feel him scanning her but she didn't looked back at him. She ignored him as if his presence was nothing to her. She was just thinking about how to snatch the gun from
Stephen and Fuoco were standing facing each other. Fuoco could now see his face clearly and confirm that he was Stephen. He stood in front of her with a gun at her forehead at a distance of point zero. She stopped in her tracks and stood at her place motionless. Stephen smirked wickedly at her reaction and begin to come closer. He stopped when his gun touched her forehead. Fuoco could feel the cold metal and an electricity ran through her body. Her sixth sense told her that this man was not going to be an easy one to tackle. She had no fear of her own life but it was just not her but her friends were there too whose lives she couldn't put at risk, so, she decided to play along. Stephen commanded her to raise her hands in the air. Fuoco did as was told and showed him her hands to confirm him that there wasn't any weapon with her that she was hiding. Stephen asked her to take off her jacket and put it aside. Fuoco was taken aback by this command but she didn't had any option other than
"You hid yourself so well... didn't you?" said that man in a familiar voice. Fuoco stopped struggling for a moment and tried to look back at that man but he tightened his hold on her neck to stop her from turning back to look at him. Fuoco begin to struggle as soon as his grip on her neck tightened because she was feeling difficulty in breathing. She was even trying to speak something but was not being able to because of the choking. Fuoco was very much capable of freeing herself but she wanted to play along as it was not her life alone but her friends lives too were at stake. Although, that man loosened his grip a little as soon as he saw her struggle for breathing. Fuoco begin to cough vigorously as soon as the grip around her neck was loosened. After a while, when her breathing returned to normal she spoke," What do you think i hid about myself, Mr. Stephen?" After listening to Fuoco's words, a wicked smile appeared on Stephen's face. Fuoco had recognised him by his voice, despite
Fuoco was held by someone from behind and a gun was placed against her forehead. Her sixth sense was telling her that someone was behind her but when she had looked back at that time she found no one. She decided to go and check it later after tying that man she had knocked unconscious and that was where she made the biggest mistake she shouldn't have done. If she had left that work in the middle and had gone to look around to check if her doubt was correct or not, it would not have happened. Now, she stood there feeling helpless because her one wrong move would have put her live as well as the lives of her friends in danger. She decided to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity to attack this unknown person and free herself. The way she was grabbed from behind and the amount of force that was used to do so, Fuoco guessed that this person who was helding her was a man and he was a little taller than her. She begin to wait for that person to speak so that she could identify, who
As soon as Fuoco realised that there was a possibility of involvement of any of those three old groups that his uncle had mentioned and she had forgotten about them, she decided to use this man fighting with her as the source of information to reach those masters behind him. She had by far identified the fighting techniques he was using and she was trained to tackle as well as defeat such an opponent by her Uncle Shera. So, without wasting much time she dodged his attack and did an overhead flip to jump towards his backside. Now, she was facing his back and before he could turn towards her or anticipate her next move, she used both of her hands to attack him. She aimed towards the right side of his neck and with her one hand attacked it with lightening speed while used her another hand to attack one specific place on her lower back. She had attacked specific points of his body with a specific goal in mind- to make him loose his consciousness. Her attack was so swift that the man in bl
Fuoco had recognised the fighting style of that man in black. Both of them were giving a tough fight to each other and now, that man had begin to slow down because he had used a lot of his energy. He had therefore received minor injuries following Fuoco's attack on him that he couldn't dodge timely. He was feeling weaker while Fuoco on the other hand didn't looked tired at all and this was because of her regular training and healthy diet. She was trained to keep fighting for long hours, without getting tired, by using moves that saved a lot of her energy. Her training was monitored by both her father and Uncle Shera since she begin training as a child. Luckily, despite being in coma for seven long years her body hadn't forgotten any of the training she received in her childhood before that uneventful night. As a result, she was able to make a come back in such a short span of time. Fuoco didn't seemed even a bit of flustered and was looking cool as if it was a game of children for he
