On that day he had waited anxiously in the sterile hospital corridor, his heart a tumultuous mix of dread and hope. When the doctor finally emerges, Mark's breath catches in his throat."Is she well?" he asks, his voice barely more than a whisper.The doctor's expression is a mix of reassurance and caution as he replies."The surgery went well. However, we discovered a head injury that we'll need to monitor. We'll be conducting some tests to ensure her full recovery." He says calmly.Mark feels relief go through him at his words, his head turning to the private room they are standing in front of.Mark's heart pounds as he stands outside the sterile hospital room, his eyes fixed on the door beyond which has Leia. He has been pacing these halls for days, anxiously awaiting any news about her condition. "Mr Sky?." The doctor breaks Mark out of revelry as he turns to face the other man, the doctor's expression a blend of professionalism and concern."Mr Sky, are you okay?" the doctor inq
Mark carefully manoeuvred the wheelchair through the front door of his house, minding the polished tiles as he slowly pushed her forward. The man keeps his eyes on his charge as he moves, his lips quivering at Leia's antics.Leia keeps turning her head left and right, a look of awe on her face as she tries to take in the now unfamiliar house.Mark feels a burst of warmth in his chest.Leia's face and legs are adorned with plaster from her recent accident. He looks up when he hears the pitter-patter of shoes on the floor and comes face to face with the head maid. The woman looks at them with a poorly hidden surprise."Sir, Miss. Welcome home." She says quickly with a small bow. Mark gives her a nod."Thank you. It's great to be home!." Leia says boisterously, her eyes not leaving the foyer. The other woman lifts a brow at the smiling woman, likely shocked at Leia's new attitude, before looking back at her master."Sir? If I may speak freely?." She murmurs. Mark, feeling in a generous
The man's expression hardens as he walks away from the comfort of his home. He knew what awaited him – a meeting with his henchmen, and whatever issue they deemed important enough to disrupt his day.He knew they were just doing what he paid them for but he was still annoyed with their timing."Sir." The groundskeeper greets as he hands him the key to his car. Mark gives the man an absentminded nod before walking to the vehicle."This better be good!." He hisses as he opens the door to his car and slips into the upholstery.He turns on the engine and quickly drives out of the courtyard and into the rapidly darkening streets.Arriving at the location they specified, Mark was led to a room where a figure lay on a bed. His eyes narrow at the sight of the woman before him – Rebecca, the former maid who had disappeared without a trace a few months ago. Now, she lay before him, her stomach protruding with the unmistakable signs of pregnancy."Rebecca," Mark's voice was icy, his tone laced w
The doctor looks petrified as he stares at Mark. Questions run through his mind as he wonders what Mark has inside that head of his but he unfortunately cannot compare to half of Mark's plans. "What do you mean by that sir?" He asks with curiosity all over his face but Mark just laughs it off, giving him a gentle Pat on the back as he draws near towards his face. "I'm saying, I don't need Leia to be cured, I'd like to keep things this way," Mark explains in a low voice much to the man's fear. "I don't understand what you mean sir?" He says irritating Mark once again. Mark grabs hold of his shoulder as he draws near to whisper a bit closer to his hearing. "I'm saying, is it possible to make Leia remain this way, I don't want her memories to return," he spells out and then stares at the doctor, who stares back with cold sweat strolling down his face. He springs up from his seat and moves back. The man's eyes staring at him like he's looking right at a maniac and he's not too far
Arriving at the marriage court, Mark makes a simple phone call, "I'm outside," and in not less than two minute a man dressed in expensive clothings, a lawyer though hurried towards his car. Being someone of curtsey, Mark helps himself down the car and signals the man to a corner, and the two sit and chat till the clock struck twelve. Finally, another man, the lawyer's assistant comes out holding a bunch of documents and hands it to Mark who stands to leave with a larger smile on his face, one better than the one he had earlier. He has to curb the urge to do a happy dance right there in the middle of the street as he made his way back to his car. 'And he said he could take her from me.' He murmurs.The Man crows internally. His blood was pumping furiously.His sleek black car was waiting by the curb, just as he left it. With a smirk, he walks towards it.As he approaches, he notices someone in the car and nearly tenses before seeing the silhouette of one of his trusted men already
"Finally!." Mark huffs out, relief spreading through him at the sight of his objective.The master bedroom was ahead, and his heart quickens as he approaches the closed door. Inside lay Leia, a puzzle piece that could either solidify his power or threaten it. Mark walks briskly through the hallway, his footsteps barely making a sound on the polished wooden floor. The evening light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the place. He stands before the closed door of the Master bedroom, hesitating for a moment. "Focus Mark." The man mutters to himself before placing his hand on the handle and slowly inching it open.Inside, Leia lay peacefully, her chest rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern. Mark's eyes unwittingly soften as he gazes at her. Leia lays on the bed, her dark hair fanned out on the pillows. She looks so innocent, so vulnerable in her slumber. 'You look incapable of even killing a fly' he muses as he stares at her. He can't help but remember the man
Mark!" Leia whines as she pushes him away from her.She glares at Mark, who was sitting there with a mischievous grin."Common tell me!." She yells, fidgeting against the pillows."No~," he says in a single voice."Mark, if you don't tell me now, I will take off my bandages and strangle you with them." She says solemnly, her hands tightening on the said wrappings on her hands. Mark snorts. "Sure you will."The woman's Expression didn't change, as she stared blankly at his face. There was a certain darkness in her eyes. It was eerie and reminded him of the way Leia looked at him when she still had her memories.Like she was one step away from ripping out his throat with her teeth.' she's looking at me like she wants to kill me.' Mark wonders, his gaze still lost in her dark pools.It sent a shiver down my spine, but he ignored this, thinking it was probably a fluke. 'She's just looking at me like that because she's annoyed with my games. Maybe I should tell her just a little bit!.' h
"What did you say?." Leia feels faint as she stares at the male. Mark shrugs, an innocent expression on his handsome face."I said I want to help you today.""You w-want to." She starts slowly, looking like she has a problem processing what the man said. "Help me-." She continues. Mark nods, a small grin on his face."Yes. I want to help you." Mark responds."-take a bath?." She says, uncertainty lacing her words.Mark nods once more, a sly smile on his face that keeps growing at her discomfort."That too." These are his words.Leia flushes as her mouth falls open in shock."W-what!. Why would you want to do that?!. Your maid can help me!."She screeches, pointing a finger at the still woman."Well! Can't you?!." Leia demands sharply. The woman blisters, clearly not expecting to be placed on the spot like that."W-w-well m-miss Leia, y-y-you s-ee, the t-thing is-" she stutters as she twists her fingers in her skirts.Mark grunts as he rises to his feet, his joints stiff from sitting
Leia clung to Opal, her body trembling as tears streamed down her face. Her friend lay in her arms, pale and fading, her life slipping away with each passing moment. The atmosphere seemed to close in around them, as if walls were pressing in on them, bearing witness to the tragedy that had unfolded.Amidst her heart-wrenching sobs, Leia's tear-blurred eyes rose to meet the gaze of the man who had just tried to take her life. It was the big boss, his face bruised and battered, his trousers stained with blood. He regarded Leia with disdain, his lip curled into a cruel sneer. He pointed the gun at her once more, his voice laced with a chilling determination."Second time's a charm," he hissed, his finger tightening on the trigger.Leia's world seemed to freeze at that moment. She closed her eyes, expecting the deafening gunshot to be the last sound she would ever hear. Death felt imminent, a crushing weight that pressed upon her chest.But then, the sound she heard was not the gunshot sh
Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder. "Hey, Leia, listen to me," he said, his voice steady but laced with concern. "We need to stay calm and think this through. Panicking won't help us." Leia nodded, though her tears continued to flow. Kasen helped her press her back against t
Mark's eyes cracked open slowly, adjusting to the sterile, white surroundings of the hospital room. His head throbbed with pain, and every movement sent waves of discomfort through his body. He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone. They nodded and reluctantly left the room, leaving Mark alone with Kasen.Mark tried to sit up, but the pain in his body made him wince. "Kasen, what's going on?"Kasen pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze fixed on Mark. "I'll just talk to the inspector, it won't take long," he sai
The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!" His voice resonated through the air, meeting her ears. He sounded like he was close, she wasn't sure how close, but close enough. Closer than he should be.She takes in a deep breath, "Fuck off!" She yelled back, hoping to deter him."Face me you coward!" He spat, his voice laced with anger."No!" She replied, her tone m
Mark and Leia had been running for what felt like hours, their breaths ragged and their hearts pounding. They had stumbled upon this cave in a desperate bid to escape the clutches of the big boss and his relentless henchmen. Now, as Leia rested her back against the damp, rocky wall, her chest heaved with exertion. The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus
Although they had gone far, much farther than they could imagine, Mark's fears still caught up with him as he constantly turned back to look of her was safe from harm or not. Luckily he was with his phone as he speed dialed for back up, he couldn't wait any longer and it was times to put his plans into actions. "Everyone will pay he murmurs to himself out of anger. He couldn't possibly tane note of all those who had wronged him but there were a considerable amount that he remembers and couldn't wait to get his hands upon, one of them was his dearly most beloved cousin. Finally he reaches his safe place the place he had agreed upon to meet with his mean I'm order to get things in order. Everything was far behind but he could still see the flames from afar and Leia still choking from having inhaled a huge amount of it was coughing repeatedly to his disappointment. Finally he makes a turn and has Leie get down as they would continue the rest of their journey on foot, and Leia althou
Leia's breath could hardly breathe as she gasps for air repeatedly, her resistance knows no bounds as Mark couldn't help but fear, still he couldn't let her loose because he knows what she's capable off. She struggles against the restraints binding her to the ornate bed frame to the point where she had begun to bleed due to the injury on her wrist. Mark couldn't help but feel guilty as he found no one but himself responsible for her behaviour. Her eyes flickered with a wild, haunted look as they darted around the dimly lit room. "Let me go, let me go right now you madman, just you wait, I'll kill you as soon as I get away from here!" She promises Mark much to his fear. He couldn't possibly believe the words coming out of her mouth and feared the worst. Now she's become dangerous to both herself and himself. Mark stood at a cautious distance, not knowing what to do, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and fear. "Please calm down Leia, everything is going to be fine, I'll get yo
It took more than a while to calm Leia down as she would continuously try to wiggle her way out until she was finally subdued by Mark and fell asleep. Everything looked like hell for Mark wouldn't couldn't help but hope for the best to happen as it pained him to see Leia in this pathetic state, so much so that he refused to leave her bedside when she fell asleep.Everything was a disaster at this point and he just couldn't take it anymore. "Boss," his subordinate called for his attention. Mark couldn't help but feel irritated and yet he couldn't simply ignore their request as he knows that there's more to this interruption. With a heavy sigh he rises from the chair and follows them outside to hear what it is that they have to say. His men look rather worries while he was getting angry and the mere thought that they refuse to speak after calling him out. "Are you mute, hurry up and say something," he yells at them. Finally one of them volunteers to do the talking to which he appr
Despite his happiness, Mark's worst fears were about to become a reality. He dashed through the hallway, shoving whoever dared get in his way as he hurried for Leia's room."Is she okay, how is she, is she in good shape, is it something serious?" Mark suddenly questions in a rush. He couldn't wait, especially not after waiting two days already for either of the ladies to wake up. His joy at the moment knows no bounds as he hurries to enter into the bedroom, the only stopping him is the doctor in his way. "Should I kill him?" Mark questions himself while he stares at the frightened woman who seems to repeatedly block each route he tries to take. "For god sake Mr. Sky you have to calm down," the woman yells. He couldn't possibly believe his eyes and eyes as he stared at the puny woman who seemed to lack a lot more flesh than Leia had. "It'll just take one twist and she'd probably pass on," he tells himself as she stares at her, examining what to do about this sudden disturbance.
