☠️ CHAPTER ONE ☠️
AT EXACTLY 12:00 AM 🕛
The empty street can be seen with not a single soul flocking around. The darkness engulfed everywhere was coupled by a cold and lonely breeze, blowing around any weightless object it comes across. There was a building...the only building in the street.
Well, not until the quite environment was interrupted by the sound of a motorbike and with every seconds passing by, the sound gets closer and closer. Soon a very bright light shone on the building before a screeching sound was heard as the rider pulled a long break.
Staring at the figure on the bike, one can easily detect it was a lady. Her dressing goes like this; she was putting on a white long sleeved shirt with a burgundy scarf tied around her neck. Inside the shirt, was a chest plate. And a belt attached suspender was joining her black pants to her shirt. A black belt was around her waist with a gun hostler and on her hands were fingerless gloves.
Removing her helmet, her face couldn't be seen because of the black mask she was putting on, with only her eyes visible.
Climbing off the bike and placing her helmet on the seat, she headed straight to the back of the building, which turned out to be a museum. Not just any museum but a gem museum. Getting to the glass door, she brought out a lazer, creating a big hole enough to contain her as she snuck into the museum.
Bringing out a touch light, her eyes shone in excitement on seeing what she was here for.
" Finally...the Red Diamond" She exclaimed, heading to the case the diamond was in. Opening a hole on the case, she grabbed the diamond.
" I am gonna be rich as fuck!" She grinned widely. Well, her grin vanished immediately as a red light flashes through the room and the emergency alarm set off. The door of the room she was in barged open and six security guards rushed in.
" Stop right there" The guards said as the turned on the lights, pointing their guns at her.
" Damn it!" The lady mumbled as the guards started firing at her. She grabbed the gun in her hostler, firing back at them as she headed to the door. The bullets from the guards hitting the glass door made it shattered to pieces making escaping easier for the lady.
Outside of the museum, three security guards too aimed at her but she gun them all down as she headed to her bike. Just when she was close to her bike, a bullet was aimed at her leg but doing a backflip, she landed on her bike, igniting the engine and doing a reverse...she drove off.
The six guards rushed to a car and drove after her. Two of the guards titled their head outside the side windows of the car as the sent several bullets to her but she made sure to dodge all of them. Looking back while still on a full speed, she gun down two of the guards.
" Dummies! You can't catch me you mother f**kers!" She yelled, fixing her eyes back on the road. A bullet which was aimed at to hit her leg, missed and scratched the side of her bike.
Without looking back, she raised the middle finger of her right hand, giving them a 'f**k you' while riding with only one hand. She quickly diverted to a narrow path in the street.
MEANWHILE; IN A BAR IN THE NEXT STREET
A young guy can be seen, taking in a great amount of smokes into his mouth before puffing it out to the air with some exhaling out from his nose. On the table he was in was a bottle and shot of dry gin and empty packets of cigarettes, littering around.
The guy had brown eyes which were already red due to smoking. His hair was dyed partly white and partly black. Trailing down to his sharp nose which has two piercing and his red lips which looked chapped and dry. On his ear where two openings and small earrings on them. Not to talk the inked tattoos drawn from his neck to his arms. It was all visible due to the black singlet he was putting on.
On the other side of the table was another guy, dressed all formal. He face was clouded with sadness as he stares at the guy puffing out smokes and gulping down shots of gin.
" Erm, Boss... don't you think that's enough cigarettes for a day?" He asked as the guy took out another stick of cigarettes, lighting it up. His face was blank, cold and expressionless as he glared at the other guy who sealed his lips shut.
After smoking the last stick and gulping the last shot of the gin, the guy rested his head fully on the chair, his eyes closed. He stayed like that for some minutes before snapping his eyes open.
" Go get the car" His cold voice commanded and the other guy sprang up his feet.
" Yes Boss" He bowed rushing out of the bar.
The guy stood up and just when he was about taking a step forward, someone ran and bumped into him making him stagger back a bit.
" Hey! Watch where you're going bitch" The guy who bumped into him snapped angrily, quacking him on the chest. Deciding to ignore him, the guy made to walk past him only to blocked by the guy who bumped into him, a grin plastered on his face.
" What do want?" The guy snapped impatiently but his facial expression was blank.
" Aren't you the famous Game Industry's CEO, Holden Smith, huh?" The other guy grinned even the more.
" Yeah, so?" Holden folded his arms.
" Well it doesn't matter. You bumped into me, so you've got apologize" The guy said.
" Really?" Holden huffed.
" Who really is the bitch here? Cause as far I can remember... you bumped... into me" He pointed out.
" Still doesn't matter. You're still apologizing" The guy insisted.
" I ain't giving you any shit called apology. Now if you won't mind fucking out of my way" Holden replied plainly. The guy grabbed his arm, pulling him back as he tried walking past him.
" Well...if you ain't apologizing...then fight me" The guy smirked but Holden only stared at him with a blank expression.
" Did you actually come here to fight cause there are lots of idiots here willing to fight you and guess what?... I ain't one of them" Holden implied.
" Is it that you don't want to fight me or...
" You can't fight me... cause you're a loser" Holden only frowned his brows at the guy.
" You can't fight me right... you're a loser aren't you?" The guy scoffed, quacking Holden by the chest again. Deep down, Holden's blood was already boiling hot but his facial expression was still blank. If there's one thing he hates in his life, is someone calling him a loser.
" Come on loser, fight me, come on" The guy taunted.
" I wanna fight you so fight me. Come on... fight me you God damn..." Holden didn't let him finish his sentence when he shut him up with a jaw breaking punch, making the guy stagger back in shock.
Standing back on his balance, the guy folded his fist and rushed towards Holden who only held his fist midair, twisting his arm and a cracking sound was heard with the guy yelping in pain.
" You want me to fight you right?...
" Well guess what...I am doing that right now" Holden said, twisting the guys arm the more before pushing him off as he went flying and crashing to a table. Walking over to him, Holden grabbed him by his shirt, turning him to face him before greeting him with another punch.
" You called me a looser, didn't ya? Imma show you what losers can do" With that, Holden dragged the guy with him as he headed outside the bar. He forced the guy to lie with his back on a car before disfiguring his face with punches. The guy was already bleeding; his lips, nose even eyes. Holden raised his hand to send him a hard punch on his forehead when;
" Stop it right there!" A voice halted him. He turned and his heart skipped in fear on seeing two police officers. If there's a second thing he hates, then it will be the police.
" Damn it!" He cursed and took off his heels, leaving the guy to fall lifelessly on the floor.
" Hey, hold your horses!" The cops yelled running after him. Without looking back, Holden ran with everything in him, pushing away anyone and anything which got in his way. He entered a narrow path in the street but pulled a brake on his legs on seeing the fence at the end of the path.
" Fuck!" Looking back and seeing the cops coming after him, he jumped up to the fence, climbing it despite how high he was. If there's something he is good at; then Holden is a professional climber.
He jumped off the fence and it turned out the fence was that of a mall's parking lot.
Coincidentally, the lady from earlier drove into the same parking lot and was driving towards Holden who was looking back to see if the cops were still after him. The lady on seeing Holden running towards her bike, tried alerting him with a horn but Holden's mind wasn't there.
Finally turning his gaze to where he was running to, Holden's eyes widened on seeing the full speed bike running towards him. Just when the bike was about hitting him, the lady pulled a full brake and the bike stopped right in front of Holden.
The lady quickly took off her mask letting her hair fall freely on her shoulder. She glared at Holden.
" Watch where you're running to, idiot" She snapped at Holden whose brows were frowned while trying to clearly see the lady's face. But only her eyes and lips were visible.
" Hey, I'm talking to you!" The lady snapped him out.
" Well you should also watch where you're riding to, this is a parking lot not a highway" Holden hissed and the lady sent him a hard glare.
" You...
" Did you see her?" A voice which the lady recognized to belong to one of the guards after her interrupted.
" No I didn't, but I'm sure she's still around" Another of the guards replied.
" What are you..." The lady shushed Holden immediately.
" Keep shut" She snapped. Her eyes widened as she heard footsteps approaching.
Under the period of a sec, she quickly grabbed Holden by the collar, pinning him to one of the pillars before claiming his lips.
Holden's remained stagnant in shock as the lady fed hungrily on his lips and it was if someone paused his brain immediately. He could visible see the ladies green eyes piercing his as she kissed him.
Holden's heart started accelerating fast...very fast and he suddenly ran out of breath.
After making sure the guards already walked pass them, the lady pulled out. She closed her eyes, letting out a deep breath.
" That was close" She heaved, bitting on her lower lip. She opened her eyes only to meet Holden staring at her with parted lips and widened eyes.
" What?" She shrugged, walking over to her bike before climbing on it. She covered her face with the mask, putting on her helmet before igniting her bike.
" You can quit staring moron" She snapped at Holden who was still staring at her with parted lips.
" And learn to use a mint after smoking" The lady yelled as she drove off leaving Holden to keep wondering;
" WHO THE FUCK IS THIS LADY..."
☠️ CHAPTER TWO ☠️ THE NEXT MORNING The rays of the sun reflected on the face of a light skinned lady lying on a bed, sleeping peacefully. Well the rays of the sun on her face made her slowly open her eyes, staring at the ceiling blankly. She sat up letting out a lazy and wide yawn as she robbed her eyes. Her long uncombed dark brown hair covered half of her face but it didn't make it impossible to see her green eyes, small pointy nose, pouted lips and sharp jawline. She climbed down the bed, grabbing a mat beside it and spreading it on the floor. Sitting on the mat with her legs crossed, she placed her hands on her knees, her palms up. Sitting up straight, she closed her, taking a deep breath. She stayed like that for sometime and just when she was starting to enjoy her yoga... " Raven!" A voice called out but she ignored it.
☠️ CHAPTER THREE ☠️" Arghhhhhhhh!!" Raven screamed on top of her voice making Jade run out of her room, heading to her room." What happened, what's with the scream?" She rasped on getting to Raven's room. She was seated on her bed, a bowl of almost done ice cream before her." I'm doomed Jade... I'm doomed!" Raven yelled." Will you stop screaming for once and tell me what happened?" Jade snapped impatiently as she approached. Raven handed her phone to her. Reading the message on the screen, Jade's eyes widened immediately." Oh my goodness, Raven you've gotten a job!!" She screamed happily only to get a hard glare from Raven."You're screaming...happily... seriously?" She scoffed." Of course. This is something to be happy about. You've finally gotten a job" Jade chuckled happily." You don't get it Jade. My whole
☠️ CHAPTER FOUR ☠️Raven left Holden's office after he dismissed her. She was assigned her working desk." Good morning" She greeted the lady on the next desk beside her as she sat down, placing her bag on her desk. The lady she greeted took off one side of her headphone, turning to Raven." Good morning" She greeted back." And you're are?"" Raven... Raven Scott" Raven answered." Oh, so you're the Boss's new assistant, huh?" The lady chuckled." I'm Miley by the way" She introduced and Raven only nodded reluctantly." You're really pretty" Miley complimented and that only made Raven uncomfortable as she let out a slight cough." Erm..Thanks " Was all she could say.Well if there's one thing Raven sucks at, then it's making new friends. She literally has no friends. Yo
☠️ CHAPTER FIVE ☠️" Why did you take the pendant?" Was the question Holden threw at Raven without hesitation.Raven swallowed hard immediately, her heart skipping in fear." Calm down Raven, just act like you don't know what he is talking about" She tried calming her racing heart." Pardon?" She asked." Why did you take the pendant, are you deaf?" Holden snapped impatiently." With all due respect Boss, which pendant are you talking about?" Raven asked and that only made Holden's anger triple." I don't have all the time in the world with you, so give me the pendant right now before I lose it with you" Holden replied, approaching closer. Raven pressed her lips together, trying not to be intimidated by Holden's hard glare." I don't know what talking about Sir" S
☠️ CHAPTER SIX ☠️ THE NEXT DAYRaven decided to ignore the glares she got from everyone as she entered the company. Walking straight to her desk, she sat down and there was Miley." It's a good thing to see you today Raven, I was really scared to death when you fainted yesterday. Tell me what happened actually, why were the cops taking you away?" She asked." Boss and I had some misunderstanding. He thought I stole his pendant but everything is fine now. The pendant have been found and I'm free" Raven answered plainly." Oh thank goodness" Miley heaved. Just then, everyone stood up and the two was compelled to do the same." Ok, why are we standing?" Raven whispered asked Miley but her question was answered when she saw Holden approaching." Good morning Boss" Everyone greeted, including Raven herself but Holden
☠️ CHAPTER SEVEN ☠️ Holden was in his office, drinking and smoking when he started hearing noises from downstairs. It seems as though there was a fight going on. He stood up to go check what was happening but Jimmy rushed in just then. " Boss we have a situation" He said panting heavily, like he just ran a quarter mile race. " What's wrong?" Holden asked. " The press are here" " What the fuck did they come here for?" Holden asked. " They came for answers. It seem as though someone told them about what happened between you and Miss Raven. Now it's all over the internet" " I tried shoving them away but they're persistent. They won't leave until they see you" Jimmy explained. Holden just grabbed his car keys. " Boss where are you going?" Jimmy asked as Holden headed to the door.
☠️ CHAPTER EIGHT ☠️ Raven was lying on her bed about to go to sleep when her phone rang. She didn't want to answer at first since it was an unknown number but decided to answer anyway. " Please...come to my house. I need... your...hel... I need your help...please..." The person mumbled weakly and Raven's eyes widened on realizing who the person was. " Boss" She exclaimed in shock, climbing off her bed immediately. " Please..." She ran out of her room and met Jade in the kitchen. " Where are you going to in such a hurry?" Jade halted her. " I think my Boss is in danger and I need to help him" She replied. " But it's late and dangerous" " It doesn't matter. I seriously have to go. Bye" With that Raven dashed out not giving Jade another chance to try stop her. She didn't even mind if she putt
☠️ CHAPTER NINE ☠️ " Pa has a daughter?" Holden asked still in shock. " Two daughters actually. His wife died a year after he... you know..." Jimmy replied. Holden lips were parted as he stared at the file on the floor. " How come I never knew of it?" He mumbled. " How have they been coping all these years?" He didn't understand how he was feeling. But one thing he knows is that he suddenly felt sad...and responsible like as though he could have done something before now. Was he feeling guilty? He looked up at Jimmy. " Thanks for this. You can leave and call Raven on your way out" He said walking over to his seat. Jimmy nodded, picking up the file and leaving. Holden rubbed his palms together, nervousness a
☠️ CHAPTER THIRTEEN ☠️Holden snapped his eyes open, jerking up on the bed. He was panting and sweats covered his forehead. He let out a loud groan as he felt pain all over his body. His left hand was wrapped with a bandage and there was a plaster on his forehead.He was bare with no shirt on. One could see the cuts and inked tattoo all over his body. Jimmy smiled at him on seeing him wake. Looking around and realizing he was in a hospital, Holden frowned his brows in confusion." What am I doing here?" He asked but his voice was faint because he was still feeling a bit weak." We bumped into gangs on our way from the hospital" Jimmy lied without hesitation." Gangs? How come I don't remember anything?" Holden asked not that much convinced by Jimmy's reply." You got hit hard on the head so I'm sure that's why" Jimmy answered and Holden nodded. Something flashed through his mind and he laid back fully on the bed." How is Raven?" He asked." She's ok, she have been discharged" Jimmy a
☠️ CHAPTER TWELVE ☠️" I don't know how you're gonna do it but you need to stop him from crying...or else if you want to lose him" Hearing those words, Jimmy ran out of the house to Holden's car and drove off.He pulled a brake on getting to the hospital where Raven was admitted and rushed to her ward. He was happy to meet Raven awake." Thank goodness you're awake. Please Raven I need you to come with me immediately, it's really urgent" He rasp, panting while trying to catch his breath." What do you want?" Raven snapped angrily at him, her arms folded below her chest." Boss... he's going to hurt himself. I need you to come with me"" I don't care" " Please Raven's it's urgent. I know you're angry with him, I know you hate him and I don't really care about that. What is important now is that he's about to kill himself and only you can stop him"" He can die for all I care. Besides I wanted to kill him myself"Jimmy was already losing it. He ran his hands through his hair in frustr
☠️ CHAPTER ELEVEN ☠️" Why the fuck did you do it?!!" Raven yelled angrily at Holden who was shocked to the bone but couldn't even express it." Do what?" He asked." You're denying it. I remember everything,I remember that you were the one who killed my father!" Raven yelled again tightening her grip on Holden's collar as tears rolled down her cheeks.Guilt struck Holden's heart immediately and he looked away." Erm.. Boss.." Jimmy made to interfer but Holden signaled him not to." Listen Raven, it's a misunderstanding" He said making Raven scoff painfully." A misunderstanding? Something I saw with my own eyes and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?" She huffed, letting go of Holden's collar." I didn't kill him. He..." Holden closed his eyes, trying not to remember what happened that night." He committed suicide" He finally said but received a hard slap from Raven who was glaring at him with so much hatred in her eyes. Holden didn't react to the slap but only stared down to
☠️ CHAPTER TEN ☠️ Raven on opening the second drawer, saw the yellow scarf inside and she took it out. She frowned her brows in confusion, staring at the back of the scarf. " Why does this scarf look pretty familiar?" She asked herself. A burry picture of the scarf flashed through her mind and she rubbed her temple as she felt a slight headache. She closed her eyes to get a clearer picture of it but it was still blurry. She snapped her eyes open. Turning to the front of the scarf and seeing the big heart emoji on it, Raven was shocked. She felt as though she has seen the scarf somewhere but can't fathom where. Another blurry memory flashed through her mind coupled with a slight pain. She rubbed her temples again as she closed her eyes. The
