Susan sits in the dark, her eyes flickering over the two sleeping but armed, muscular gigantic men in front of her. She breaths with fear while seated then waits, silently observing their breaths as they shift in their sleep to snoring. Knowing she has to be fast if she wants to escape, she glances around the room, taking in every detail. The dim light filtering through the cracks in the window blinds is the only illumination in the room. She can hear the soft rustle of leaves outside, a reminder of the forest she is in. She slowly moves her hand towards her middle palm, feeling the cold metal of the sharp object the gang leader had given her earlier. She gulps down a ball of saliva when she realizes that it's definitely going to hurt her if she must be free from the ropes. She takes a deep breath afterwards and slowly reaches out to the first guy, her hand shaking slightly. With a swift movement, she presses the sharp edge of the object against his rope and it goes out, cutting in tw
All shades of anger overwhelm Xander as he sits down, fuming in front of Ava. He can't believe how cruel and petty she's been to her so-called best friend all this while. "First, I heard rumors of you spreading lies about yourself to Susan. I overlooked that and now you went as far as accusing the poor innocent Susan of stealing your man?" He groans in anger and smacks the desk. " The man you never had? Ava! What the h*ll is wrong with you? How can you be so evil to someone who loves and trust you?"Ava lifts an eyebrow at Xander, surprised at his tone. She'd never seen him this angry before, not until today when it concerns Susan. "What are you talking about?" She mutters, trying to play dumb."C'mon, don't play dumb with me, Ava!" he smacks the desk again, his voice growing louder. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You've been spreading lies about us to Susan and about her stealing your boyfriend, which is me. Knowing fully well that I am dating her. How could you do that to
"You don't know who you're messing with." Aunt Tina scoffs, her hands handcuffed against each other."Indeed." Police man 1 pushes her towards the seat at the interrogation room. "We're just about to know who we're messing with and for your own good, I'll advise that you cooperate with us off course."Just as she sits, she sighs and breathes heavily for a while, locking stern glances with the police officer sitting opposite her like it was a battleground. Neither was the dark skin brown eyes muscular cop smiling nor saying a word to her. Just as micro second turns into split seconds, his stern face lit up sarcastically, "Welcome Dear gorgeous looking Mrs Tina Godfred." Still smiling, he brushes his beards with his fingers, adjusting and relaxing properly on his chair. "Left with me, I'll verge that you wouldn't hurt a fly, seeing how beautiful you look but... Huh." He sighs and shakes his head sideways. "I'm disappointed. But that's by the way because you did it, anyway. But can't hel
"Hmh... Hmhm." Susan groans and breathes. While lying hopelessly in pain, a hunter, walking briskly through the hills to set traps. Another early morning for him, to make sure his traps are set before sunrise. As he walks further to the bottom of the hill, he hears a sound coming from a deep corner so early when he can barely see anything unless close enough. He stops to listen but the voice fades so faintly, "Help... help..." pausing briefly, then shrugging it off. "Just my imagination." He murmurs. "No time to waste, need to finish up." As he tries to put up another trap, he hears it again, but this time the voice growing fainter. "Help... please..."The hunter stops hesitating, then quickens his pace. "That voice again? What if someone is in trouble? I better check it out, just to be sure." He tells himself, feeling for who it is. He adjusts his grip on his hunting gun and follows the direction of the faint voice. The urgency in his steps grows. Muttering to himself so slowly, prep
"Can I fill that part later? Because I didn't get the chance to ask her name before she got unconscious. May be when she regains herself a little, the form can be done with." "Okay then. You can have your sit." The receptionist points to the black many seats. "While waiting for the doctor to come out.""Okay. Thanks."Few minutes later, the doctor comes with the test results as he walks out of the emergency room; the hunter rushes up to him. "What is the condition of the young lady? Sir.""Okay... Calm down." The doctor looks at him in curiosity. Who is he? "Any problems?""Sorry sir, he's the man that called the ambulance." The receptionist interrupts."Oh, you are the hunter who saved the young lady in there. Wow, firstly thanks for the good work. We've run a few thorough diagnoses and I'm afraid she sustained a severe internal head injury. It's critical, and we need to perform a major surgery immediately to give her the best chance of recovery. She is currently in a coma state and
"Mmm-hmm." Aunt Tina clears her throat and sits upright. As both the inspector and Xander eagerly fix their gaze on her every words. With a deep breath, she begins her tale, transporting everyone back in time, how all started beyond what they think is now."Twenty-eight years ago, before Xander came into our lives, I was a young woman full of dreams and aspirations. It was at a glamorous birthday party, where the stars twinkles in the night sky and the air, full with laughter and music, that I met a man who forever changed my life. Mr Xander himself the father to mark Xander."Her voice tells of her feelings of excitement as she recounts the memories. "He is like a vision—rich, handsome, and charming. We instantly connected, drawn to each other like magnets. We laughed, we danced and the spark between us kept ongoing stronger with each passing moment. It was whirlwind romance that lasted just one night."As she continues, the room buzzes with curiosity. They lean forward, captivated b
Mrs Tina's raises her head up after sobbing for some seconds. "Xa," she sniffs in watery nose and teary eyes. "Xander, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Will you choose to leave your brother to pursue the lady, or will you try to reclaim what was once yours?"All eyes turn to Xander, awaiting his response. However, he remains silent, his expression unreadable. Tina's heart sinks, realizing that she would have to continue her story without his input. "How did I forget?" She sighs, "like father like son." She comments, undeterrably, forging ahead, "I love my sister, and I still do. But my love for that man was unlike anything I have ever known before. It consumed me, overshadowing even the bond I shared with my flesh and blood. Whenever I saw him, I yearned to have him back, to reclaim the connection we had, sharing that fateful night. But upon my looks, he's out of sight." Her emotions rapidly streams, her emotions raw and unfiltered. "I know it's a complicated situation, tan
Hurrying out of the police station, Xander reaches out for his pocket and pulls out his phone, checking for any missed calls or messages. To his surprise, he already had two missed calls from an unknown number. Frowning at his face, he dials the number, his curiosity piques. The call connects, and a mature masculine not too thick voice answers on the other end."Hello? May I know who I'm unto?" Xander inquires, sounding nervous.The voice on the other end belongs to the attending doctor of Sussan. "Mr. Xander, my name is Dr. Steven. I apologize for the urgency of this call, but I have some important information regarding a young lady who is in a critical condition here at the hospital.""Okay...? So?" "Dr. Ketty confirms her identity and that you also know her. That reminds me." He swallows a gulp of saliva before he continues. "She kept on sobbing your name while we underwent the examination on her."Xander's heart skips a beat, his worry for Susan intensifying. "Dr. Steven, Is She
