As Dylan got back to the hospital, he could see that not even a doctor was attending to Mandy, she was placed on the bed. "Damn! Why has she not been treated?" Dylan yelled, he grabbed Mandy in his hand, he took her in his hand, and he ran with her out of the hospital, she was just like a lifeless object. Keeping her there will do no good because no doctor, will care for her, all their attention is on Lauren, they need to save the CEO forgetting that the CEO's life will be meaningless if his heart is not there. Dylan started driving, and as soon as he was able to put her in the back seat, he was driving to another hospital. Streams of tears pour from the side of his eyes, he doesn't want to think of the worst, he can't take it, he has grown to love Mandy as a sibling, and losing her is like losing another family member of his. He just wanted to stop and embrace the fear he is avoiding but he just can't bring himself to accept that Mandy might not survive. He rushed into the hospita
Weeks turn month and month turns months, and still no hope of Lauren waking up, he has been comatose, and not a sigh from him, that he is ever going to wake up, the lamp of hope is almost burning out. For weeks Larry didn't leave the side of Lauren's bed, he wanted to see his brother wake up, but everything seemed to go blank for him. Dylan on the other hand, will always go to Mandy's monument, something in him feels Mandy is not the one in there but what can he do, she is buried and only her memories are left with him. He promised to help find her real parents even if he takes time to do that, he will do that. Tessa had two people to babysit, there is Dylan and Larry, the two needed her, but Larry needed her most, she was lying on the side of Larry's bed when his phone rang. The caller is from the office, Tina was the one who called, she had messaged him that the company was having an official meeting but he didn't reply, so she decided to call. "Hello Tina!" "Hi sir Larry, I sent a
Larry is talking on the phone with his mother, Daniella is getting worried, not hearing from Lauren for more than a year."Mom, he is fine, he is just busy." "Busy doing what? He left the company and did not take his phone call." "Mother, he is fine, I will tell him, you are worried, so he could place a call to you." "Why not...""You should know that son of yours, he gets irritated sometimes.""Fine, I will wait for his call." As soon as the line died off, his phone buzzed with a message making the screen light come up, he was surprised and excited at the same time, and he grabbed his stuff. "Sir! Is there anything the issue?" Stone had practically been serving him since Lauren was comatose. "Hospital, we need to be there, right now." Stone didn't ask another question, Larry looked at the message again. "He is awake" -President DanielLarry smiled, he just wanted to get there fast, in a few minutes, he would be inside a private ward nursing room"Easy, don't stress yourself, ta
Somewhere in Chong Pang Village, Edward had been held hostage for more than two years, that morning he was to travel to San Fransisco for a business meeting but his vehicle was hijacked on his way, that is how he ended there, and a slave under Cheng's slave band. "Move everyone!" "Bow to the Master! No head should raise." Cheng soldiers yelled as he passed, everyone bowing. Cheng happens to run a slave trade, even when it's no longer legal to have one but he is untouchable, he is very powerful. He conquered people, some he bought others, and he was given to for free, Edward happened to be sold to him, but by who? How could a multi-millionaire be sold off like that? Edward had dreamed of running away, he had planned to do that but he didn't carry out his plan when a young girl was brought to the camp, he didn't know the girl but he felt responsible for her. That voice was his daughter, but not the face, the face was different, different from the one, he knew as his daughter, the name
"Hey Lauren! It's going to be fine, you don't have to panic, you are in good hands." Larry said as he touched his hand gently. That voice he could recognize perfectly, that was his brother, his lovely brother, he stared at him strangely, Larry too was surprised. The voice is the same but the face is far from anything, he thought he had seen before."Are you Larry? As in my brother." "Yes, I am Larry but why did you ask? Is everything okay?" Larry asked then looked at the doctor confused. "Mr Lauren, are you having any issues? Discomfort anywhere? Just tell me." Lauren averted his eyes from him and then rested on Larry. "Where is she? Is she one of them?" Asking that, he points to Lisa and Amelia, they are the only female in the ward except for the nurses. "Who?" Daniel asked very fast, he didn't want Larry to take the name of Mandy. "Dad! Is that you?" The whole family are confused, how could he be asking that, just maybe, he can't recognize their face but just their voices. "Y
Five months later, Lauren is at the airport with Larry, after completing a very important deal, he is to go back home, to meet the supposed woman, he had risked his life for and they are supposed to have an engagement party, the party would have been held a month back but Lauren is busy. When Lauren finally woke up, he still couldn't remember anything about Mandy, not her name; face, or even voice that he could use to remember his loved ones. So it was easy for President Daniel to tell him that, Amelia is the same girl, he had to risk his life for, Amelia is acting like Mandy, it's also easy for Amelia because the man doesn't get any iota of what Mandy's real character is like. "Come, bro, let's go." Lauren nodded to him, as they approached the mansion, Lauren brought out his phone, that has been pinging for ages, and he pressed the answer button. "Hello! Are you...""Yes, I am at the mansion." Amelia ran out, and Lauren took a step back, Larry could feel the scared in his eyes, and
Lauren had just finished an impromptu meeting, they were on their way home, it's late, Larry looked at him. "Are you sure we should go back to the mansion, the presidential suite would have been perfect." "Larry, I want to go home, I am just tired." His phone buzzed with a message. "Oh no!""What is it?" "It's her birthday, I forgot, she is going to kill me." Lauren closed his eyes, he tapped Stone from the back, who was driving. "You should take the next turn, we are going to the next city, I need to get her a gift." "But sir!" "Don't argue, just turn." "Lauren, we could get that tomorrow morning, let's...""You two stop arguing with me, I am not stupid, I just can't recollect my face not like my brain got damaged." He held his head, stone had no choice but to drive, he took the first turn, then the second, and driving further, he could feel someone on the road. "Hey, what is it?" "Sir, is like, someone is lying on the road." "Then go down and see." "No Lauren, it might be a
The young lady had slept for hours, since Dr. Wong told Lauren that she would wake up after eight hours, he left her alone at his Villa not after locking the doors, giving no entrance to anyone. She feels the bed after waking up, only to find out, she is lying on a bed, for two years, she hadn't lie on any, the bed is so soft and comfortable but then again how could she be lying on a bed, she could remember, that she was supposed to be sold and then the old man, that called himself pa Edward, rescue her making him takes a bullet for her. She closed her eyes to recall the event. "Pa Edward, what are you doing here?" She asked Edward in front of her, after he treated her, the two had become close. "I heard that, Master Cheng is going to sell some slaves and know that, he also said, you are among the slaves, he wants to see you since you are very weak.""No oh! I don't want to leave here, I don't want to...""You will have to escape, that is the only way, you could get out of here." "
