After many minutes of attacking the punching bags, Vivianne and Kelly finally got so tired and were already sweaty. Even Kelly had to remove her mask because she was running short of air. “You did great jobs, ladies!”. Jimmy announced, and was staring at Vivianne and Kelly, who were both sitting on the floor. He later took two bottles of water and gave them to Vivianne and Kelly, who gladly collected it from his large hands. After opening her own bottle of water and taking a sip from it, Vivianne seriously admitted, “I'm honestly so tired right now. I can't believe I still have to go to work today. But it's worth it, after all, I'm a step stronger”. Jimmy chuckled and held his stomach in the process after listening to Vivianne's complaint. In fact, he chuckled even more after seeing the pale look on Kelly's face. “What's funny, coach Jimmy?”. Vivianne curiously asked him, since he hasn't stopped laughing yet. “Oh, don't mind me at all, Vivianne”. Jimmy admitted. After
Vivianne drove all the way to Z-company without even stopping the car for a second. And now that she'd arrived at her company, she parked the car at the company's parking lot, before she got down and was followed by Kelly, who also got down from the car. Ever since the moment Kelly got down from the car, she'd been staring at the clothes she was wearing. And this strange action of hers caused Vivianne to be confused. “Em, what are you doing, Kelly?”. Vivianne suddenly questioned, since was curious, and at the same time, confused. “Our clothes…. Aren't they too casual for work, Vivianne? I mean, we are supposed to wear formal clothes”. Upon hearing what Kelly said to her, Vivianne unconsciously slapped her own forehead in disbelief. She couldn't believe that she was still wearing the same clothes she used for practising boxing. “Gosh, I totally forgot that we were supposed to change our clothes after training, Kelly. Tsk. I guess it's late for us to change our clothes righ
“You're so amazing, CEO Vivianne”. Both Erika and Kelly’s eyes were sparkling as they exclaimed at the same time, causing Vivianne to flinch. It took Vivianne a while, but she eventually recovered from her shock. Though she breathed heavily in order to fully calm her nerves. “Why did you guys do that? You frightened me”. Vivianne's hand was already on her chest when she said this. “Sorry about that, CEO Vivianne. I didn't mean to frighten you. Actually, I was really amazed by the way you handled the stubborn employees and their departments’ leaders”. Erika excitedly said, even though she was honestly trying her best to suppress her admiration for Vivianne. “Same with me. I was so impressed by your sudden domineering authority, Vivianne”. Kelly gave Vivianne a thumbs-up sign as she admitted with a loud voice. After Kelly had finished admitting, Erika continued to say to Vivianne, “Scaring the departments' leaders was a great job, CEO Vivianne, because they chose to turn a blind e
After just a few minutes, Vivianne finally came out of her Z-company. She began searching for Kelly, but later gave up since she didn't see any sign of her. Vivianne's hands were on her hips as she said to herself, “She must have already entered a cab and left”. Since Vivianne was certain that Kelly had left, she went to the company's parking lot, where her car was parked almost throughout the day. At exactly 20 minutes later, Vivianne arrived at the mansion in her car. She got out of the car and went into the building without hesitation. She arrived inside the living room, and when she didn't see Kelly, she went to the kitchen because she instinctively thought Kelly would be there. Vivianne had arrived at the kitchen, but no sign of Kelly anywhere. This caused her to be so worried and also confused. “What's happening? Where's Kelly?”. She asked herself this question, before she curiously went to Kelly's bedroom in order to look for her there. In less than 15 minutes, Vivianne h
“Why are you laughing, little sister? This is not a funny matter. It's serious”. A drop of sweat escaped from Barrett's head as he said this to Vivianne. Vivianne stopped laughing and composed herself because of what Barrett had said to her. In just a short while, she cleaned her face using her palm, and said, “Nobody hurt me, big brother Barrett. In case you don't know, I'm starving right now, and Kelly is still preparing dinner”. “Dinner?”. Barrett and Garrett exclaimed together. “Yeah, dinner. It's evening over here in Phoenix city, you know”. Vivianne admitted, before she comfortably sat on the sofa, and focused her attention on her surprised twin brothers. “Whoa, Barrett and I totally forgot that China is different from Phoenix city. It's already morning in China, little sis”. Garrett explained and was scratching his messy-bed hair. Vivianne chuckled since she was already aware that China and Phoenix city had different climate and weather conditions. Furthermore, sh
“You see, I have a half sister, Vivianne. After her mother died, my father took in my mother as his second wife, since she was already pregnant with me. Though, they never really got married”. “Eh? Your mother and father never got married? But why?”. Vivianne was surprised. “My mother despised my father so much. She hates him with great passion”. Kelly explained. She saw the confused look on Vivianne's face, so she continued telling the story, by saying, “Back then I was also confused, because I didn't understand the reason why my mother hated my father. After I celebrated my tenth birthday, my mother strangely disappeared without a single trace. But, she did leave me a really long note, and after reading the note she left me, I discovered that my father was a monster!-”. Kelly suddenly stopped talking, because she felt an invisible lump in her throat. Even her eyes were teary, causing Vivianne to panic. “Kelly, stop telling me your story. You're obviously feeling hurt”. Vivianne
Vivianne's mood had been gloomy ever since Kelly revealed those truths to her. “Brianna’s father was the one who killed my family?”. Vivianne muttered, and was still trying to accept the truth Kelly had told her earlier. “That's really the truth, Vivianne. Actually, after your twin brothers rescued me from the streets, I was so grateful to them. I seriously wanted to tell them that it was Mr Brooks who killed their family, but I later refrained from telling them because I felt they'd be in danger if I did. I'm so sorry for keeping this secret from you and your twin brothers”. Kelly explained to Vivianne, and also apologised to her. She thought that Vivianne was annoyed with her, so she lowered her head and was staring at the floor. Vivianne breathed heavily, before she stood up from her seat. Staring at the garnished spicy food on the table, Vivianne slightly shook her head in disappointment, because she'd already lost her appetite. “I need some time alone in my room, Kelly. And,
“Before I answer your question, what are your names? And what business do you have in my mansion?”. Vivianne tried to suppress her anxious heart after she asked Alastair and Alan this question. “You're asking for our names? Don't you have any fear–”. Before Alan could finish talking, Alastair interrupted him,“I'm Alastair, and this is my brother, Alan”. ‘Oh, they're brothers? I should have noticed this. After all, they have the same eyes and hair. But I still don't understand why Kelly has the same hair as them. And, she also resembles Alan. Could she possibly be related to them without any knowledge of it?’. Vivianne wondered, before she realised that she was engrossed in her thoughts. “Ahem”. Vivianne cleared her throat without warning, and after doing that, she answered Alan's question, by saying, “The annoying guy your brother knocked out was the one who hurt her”. As soon as Alan heard Vivianne's reply to his question, he glared at Ray with dark eyes. He later got distracted
“Debbie?”Debbie stood up from bed after she saw Alan. She was staring at him but didn't exactly know what to say to him. As she was about to lower her head in disappointment, that was when Alan rushed towards her and embraced her.“I miss you so much, Debbie!”. Alan continued to hug her as he said. What shocked Kelly was the minute she saw Alan crying. “What?”. She was so stunned because she had not expected a scary looking man like Alan to be crying like a baby. She wanted to stand up, unfortunately, she had no choice but to refrain from doing that because she had stressed her injured leg when she stubbornly went to make food for Debbie, despite the way the chefs had pleaded for her to step aside. “I- I missed you too”. Debbie cried out, before Alan stopped hugging her and held her hands. Alan had a guilty expression on his face as he stared at Debbie's eyes and apologised to her, “I’m truly sorry for blaming you all these years. I should never have doubted you for even a second”
Alastair drove all the way to Mr Brooks' mansion with an angry look on his face. Because the front of his car had the Alvarez logo attached to it, the security guard of Mr Brooks' mansion opened the gates for him without delay. Alastair drove into the mansion before he got out of the car. He had a piercing look in his golden eyes as he stared at the building in front of him. “Brooks! Get out of here this instant!”. Alastair yelled. His blood was boiling with insane anger because he was anxious and worried about Kelly. Since Mr Brooks didn't come out of his mansion, Alastair decided to storm in. But before he could enter the building in front of him, one of the security guards who happened to be sweating on his forehead approached him and said, “Mr Brooks is not around, Mr Alvarez”. “He's not around?”. Alastair muttered, and his eyes darkened, as he became even more suspicious of Mr Brooks. ‘Could he be at his company?’. He wondered. ‘But come to think of it, how did Mr
Vivianne was able to recognise the doctor because he was wearing his doctor's uniform. She was also able to recognise Ray, causing her eyes to darken as she glared at him. “You. I know you. You are one of Mr Brooks’ men who attacked Kelly and I before”. Barrett was staring at Ray, but after hearing what his little sister said, he glared at Ray. He demanded an answer, “You attacked my little sister? How dare you?!”. “Doctor, can you explain to me what's going on right now? Who's that guy standing next to you?”. Garrett asked him after he had started glaring at Ray. ‘This guy doesn't seem like an ordinary person’. He thought to himself because of the way Ray was dressed and had an aura of authority surrounding him. Before the doctor could say anything, Ray walked towards them and introduced himself, “I'm Detective Ray. I came here as soon as I could after confirming that you three siblings were in this hospital. And Vivianne, I'm sorry for what happened between us before. I was
Shark had arrived with Mr Brooks in the uncompleted building.He got confused and halted after he saw one of his comrades unconscious on the dusty ground. “What happened here?”. He muttered, as he continued to be confused. Out of curiosity, he went ahead and bent down, before he placed two fingers beneath his unconscious comrade’s nose. He sighed in relief after he confirmed that his comrade was still alive. After standing up and turning to Mr Brooks who was behind him, Shark said to him, “He's alive. No need to panic. I'll figure out what's going on”. “You had better figure out what's going on. I didn't come all the way here to waste my precious time. Where's your boss? And where’s the girl I told you guys to capture for me?”. Mr Brooks demanded an answer. He was quite impatient. “Like I've said, Mr Brooks, I'll figure out what's going on. Just give me some time”. “Fine. I'll give you only ten minutes. Find out what's going on. In the meantime, I'm leaving this place. Whatever ha
The mother and daughter spent many minutes crying and cuddling each other. It was later on that they both stopped crying and settled down on the bed. Kelly rested her head on her mother's lap. It had been long since she last experienced the love of having a mother in her life. “Mommy, there's something important I must tell you about. Would you mind hearing me out?”.“Of course, my sweetie. You can tell me about it. I will gladly listen to you”. Debbie assured Kelly, and was gently patting her head in the process.“Mom, I've already discovered that Mr Brooks is not my father. Actually, I've met my real father, Mr Alan. I was living in his mansion before I was kidnapped by the men Mr Brooks had hired”. Kelly explained to Debbie, who gasped in disbelief. Debbie quickly lifted Kelly's head, which was resting on her lap. She began staring at Kelly but didn't know what to say because she was currently speechless. As if Kelly knew what her mother wanted to ask her, she smiled and said, “
“What do you mean Kelly is in trouble, Alastair? Did anything happen to her?”. Vivianne asked him. “When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. And now that I've seen that she's not in the hospital with you, it could only mean one thing”. Alastair paused, talking. Suspense filled the air before he continued saying, “Kelly must be in trouble! I have to find her before it's too late!”. “Wa- wait, wait, Alastair. Why do you assume that Kelly is in trouble? You can't jump into conclusions like this, simply because you don't know Kelly's whereabouts”. Vivianne said to him. She tried to stand up, but couldn't, because an IV was inside her vein. The minute Garrett noticed that Vivianne was about to remove the IV, he rushed and stopped her, by holding her hand. “Don't be reckless, Vivianne. Always think about your health first before you ever act”. He frowned as he said to her. Vivianne sighed. She shifted her attention back to Alastair afterward. Alasta
Warnings: This chapter contains violence and death.Location, An uncompleted building that was located in a remote village. Five men gathered around the lady who was asleep. Their eyes were piercing as they stared at her. They were angry, because the person who had hired them for this job had not yet arrived. “Boss, should we continue to wait for him? We should sell her if he doesn't show up and pay us for the job”. One of the men, who tied a red bandana around his head, suggested. He was the most impatient one among all of them. The eldest man, who happened to be holding a gun, frowned. He was the boss that the guy with the red bandana was talking to. His name was Gunnar, and he was very muscular compared to his lower comrades. Gunnar replied to him, “Be patient, Shark. If that man doesn't show up in the next 15 minutes, I'll make sure that this young lady suffers beyond anyone's imagination. One way or the other, it's going to be fun for us”. The other men agreed with what the
Alastair went ahead to look for Kelly. It wasn't a serious search at first, but after many minutes had passed, and he had not seen Kelly, he began to panic gradually. Alastair's panicking got worse after he couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. It was almost as if she suddenly disappeared. He returned inside the mansion in a hurry and went to meet butler Robert, who was busy taking care of the household affairs. Butler Robert, who was carefully going through the list in his hand, had to stop what he was doing because of Alastair. Alastair was standing in front of him and was breathing heavily, as if he had run a marathon. “Bu- butler Robert, are you really sure you didn't see Kelly this morning? I can't find her anywhere in the house!”. Alastair said to him without delay. “Isn't lady Kelly in her room, young master Alastair?”. Butler Robert asked him. “Of course she's not in her room, butler Robert. I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find her”. Alastair re
The hospital, Last night, after Kelly had left the hospital with Alastair, Barrett and Garrett returned to their mansion. They arranged the whole place and took their showers, before they returned to the hospital this morning. Barrett and Garrett were both sitting on the sofa that was positioned next to the window. Garrett, who was looking more worried than Barrett, suddenly asked, “Big twin, why hasn't Vivianne woken …” He couldn't finish talking because Barrett exclaimed. “She's waking up!”. Barrett pointed a finger at Vivianne and exclaimed, as he couldn't hold back his excitement. Immediately, Barrett and Garrett stood up from the sofa at the same time. They hurried to Vivianne's side, and their eyes sparkled the instant Vivianne stared at both of them. “Bro- brothers? What are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in China by now?”. Vivianne's voice was gentle and calm as she asked Barrett and Garrett. She examined her surroundings, before she asked them again, “W
