*A few months later* Halsey sighs hard. She stares at the mirror, wondering what’s gonna happen now. Three months have passed since she woke up and it’s still surreal to her. She stares at her reflection trying to find herself. One day she was seventeen and within the blink of an eye, she’s twenty three. Her complexion is pale thanks to the years she spent in coma. The once silky hair is dull but slowly regaining its color. She’s a little more mature now and she seems to have grown a few inches although it’s not much. Her eyes are still bright and hopeful, the only part of her which feels normal. She puts on her glasses, attempting to feel as if she’s herself. For some reason, she can’t part with them. It’s as if they’re the only part of her identity left. While the rest of the world has moved on, her mind is still stuck in her teen years. All the missing parts, the memories she has lost. What were they? Were they good? Did something happen? Was she happy? Was she sad? “Will
The Bad Boy Falls in Love You'll Know Me
The day finally arrives when Halsey can say goodbye to the dreaded hospital. She’s glad to leave the place, not wanting to return there again. The doctors told her she must continue her treatment as an outpatient because her brain will not be able to handle any shocking news. If it does, she might die.But Halsey doesn’t care about it. She’s been in a coma only to find out that her godmother died. What else can be more shocking than that? Lincoln drives her to the old lounge which he had fixed up for her. He keeps on glancing at her but she’s not paying attention to him. Instead her eyes are observing the town outside. No…it’s not the town she used to know.There are more buildings now which are all for commercial use. New malls, new offices and new apartments are filling the once lazy streets. She can’t help gaping at them, wondering how much has changed. It’s a little too much for her to handle.“You’ll be okay,” Lincoln reassures her. “The town has changed but that’s good! You’re

“I’m sorry, we can’t hire you. We’re looking for more professional musicians,” the manager of the cafe tells her.Halsey is dejected. This is the fifth cafe which rejected her for the position of in-house musician. She applied to quite a few places. Some responded while others didn’t. The ones which responded to her saw the qualifications and rejected her.She thanks the manager, picks up her guitar and leaves the cafe. Slowly heading for the bus stop, she sits on a bench and sighs.“Am I gonna get a job?” She wonders out loud. Lincoln had told her to go on pursuing her passion but now Halsey is doubting herself. Did she make the right choice?Her phone makes a pinging sound and she takes it out. It’s from one of the job sites she had signed up for. There’s a new hotel opening in the town and they’re having an open door recruitment for multiple positions including that of a musician. Halsey’s heart leaps in hope. “I’ll need to prepare hard for this one,” she mutters. The recruitment

When he was released from jail, he used his contacts to remove all traces of his tracks. Thanks to Trent’s excellent hacking skills and network, Nathan Jacobs is still rotting in jail.

Jo is hungrily slurping on Mac N’ Cheese. They’re sitting on a bench outside, enjoying the cool breeze. Halsey smiles at the girl who’s obviously starving. “How are you liking it here?” she asks. “Are the kids at school treating you well?”“It’s alright,” Jo shrugs. “It’s kinda lonely though. I can’t go out most of the time so I stay home and sing or study.”Halsey frowns. What kind of a parent keeps their kid shut up in home all day?“Doesn’t your dad allow you to go outside?” she questions her. “Why?”Jo pouts. “There are a few bad monsters who want to hurt dad,” she mumbles. “He says that if they hurt me, it’ll make him sad. I don’t wanna see my dad sad.”Monsters? Halsey recalls that Jo was talking about monsters back in the trench. What kind of life does her dad lead?“What does he do?” she asks Jo.“He’s a superhero!” Jo quips. “He puts bad men in jail and fights monsters! Just like the Knights in fairy tales.”Halsey can’t help laughing. “You mean he’s a cop or a lawyer?”“I h

Halsey instinctively shields a scared Jo. Her own heart is thumping hard against her ribs as she faces the masked man. The man is larger than her in size and by the accent, she can sense that he’s not an ordinary mugger. “Hand that kid over!” He demands, stepping forward. The knife is shining under the dim light, only inches away from Halsey.“No!” She exclaims. “I won’t let her go with you. Leave now or I’ll call the police-”To her horror, another masked man appears. He’s holding a chain made of metal, indirectly threatening the girls. Jo whimpers in fear as she hides behind Halsey. Halsey is defiant, ignoring the chill creeping into her heart. They’re both much larger than her and she won’t be able to hold them off. The men are clearly trying to hurt Jo and even though she’s scared, Halsey won’t let them hurt her.“Listen b*tch!” The second man curses at her. “You have nothing to fear if you just step aside. We only want the kid.”Halsey tries to stay calm but is inwardly freaking

*Eight months later in New York*Halsey is crying hard while Nathan looks guilty while Jo is quiet. “How could you do this to me?” Halsey wails. “This…this is…this is such a betrayal!”“Hales, I didn’t mean it!” Nathan exclaims. “It was an accident!”“Dad, this really isn’t right,” Jo adds, shaking her head. “I’m disappointed in you! How could you do this to mom?”Nathan gapes at his daughter. “It was an accident!” He claims. “I swear it was! I didn’t do it on purpose, babe! I-I was seduced!”“SEDUCED?” Halsey shouts at him. “SEDUCED?”She’s now angry and she throws a pillow at him. “SEDUCED? HERE I AM CARRYING A LITTER AND YOU…YOU…”Stopping in between her tirade, she takes several deep breaths. Nathan is ashamed and sad by what he did.“YOU…YOU ATE THE LAST PIECE OF CHOCOLATE?” Halsey shrieks and throws another pillow at him. “YOU KNOW I NEED CHOCOLATES IN THIS STATE!”Nathan is truly ashamed but the chocolate was too delicious to ignore. He thought no one would find out but Jo cau

For many days, they’ve tried to figure out what’s wrong with him but to no avail.His encephalitis has reached the advanced stage in a short period of time. The doctors have no hope now.“He’s in a sort of a self-induced coma,” the psychiatrist tells Halsey one day. “He can’t comprehend anything. His eyes are open but his mind is shut. It’s as if he had a severe shock which he couldn’t overcome.”“Can he stand trial?” Halsey asks. “There must be something you can do to make him sane again. We can’t just let him off the hook like this!”“We’re trying but in a way, his punishment is this,” the doctor concludes. “He won’t be able to stand trial but he’ll not recover from this.”Halsey glances inside the ward where Lincoln had been kept. He’s staring at the wall, unmoving for hours. His once luscious hair has fa

*Present*“They must’ve found us!” Hastings exclaims. “How? You just said it’s a safe place?“I don’t know!” Lincoln yells. “They’ll kill us. Let’s just kill the kid and-”“ARE YOU INSANE?” Hastings screams. “She’s our only bet!

Nathan keeps a firm grip on her while Damien instructs his men to spread out. “We’ll loo

Jo is glaring at Lincoln. She’s not crying nor looking scared but rather apprehensive of the man. The guards who were supposed to watch over her that day, had knocked out Jason and kidnapped her while she was on the way to school. They lied to Nathan that she was safe so that he wouldn’t come after them.Now, hours later, she’s tied up in an empty building. They’re on the fifth floor where Lincoln and Hastings are hiding. Lincoln is glaring at the little girl and he wants to push her off the window but she’s his only leverage to get Halsey.“In a few hours, your mother will come to me and we’ll leave this place,” he grins. “And you’ll be dead.”He steps forward, a manic glee in his eyes. “Once Halsey is here, I’ll kill you and take her with me.”“My dad will beat you!” Jo sneers. “Remember what he did to the other guy when he kidnapped me? I’m not scared of you!”WHACK!Lincoln slaps the insolent child. Jo feels immense pain on her cheek and even though her eyes are stinging with tear

Halsey is feeling a little squirmish. Things have been hectic for the past few days and it has taken a toll on her health. Just that morning, she threw up everything she ate. Nathan was alarmed by her condition and insisted that she went to the hospital for a checkup. He’s sitting with her, holding her palm. They’re outside the doctor’s office. Halsey was asked to undergo some tests and now, the doctor is reading the results.“Nate, I’m fine,” she assures him. “There’s nothing to worry about. Go to work.”“No, I won’t stop worrying until I see the reports!” Nathan insists. “I want to stay here.”Halsey smiles and shakes her head. He’s so persistent in every little thing related to her health. Nathan can’t help it. He lost her once and he can’t lose her again. The moment she started to show signs of being ill, he was overcome with paranoia. He’s thinking about the worst case scenarios and his heart is filled with fear. “Is Jo at school?” Halsey asks.“The guard texted me that she’s s

It’s like they’ve vanished.”Halsey is now troubled. Where could they be? Nathan puts his arm around her shoulder. “We’ll find them,” he assures her. “They can’t hide for long.”“I hope so,” she murmurs and hugs him.Meanwhile, miles away from Bayers’ Coast, Lincoln is feeling frustrated. He’s angry and annoyed at being locked up in the house all day. Hastings told him that they’ll be implementing their plan soon but he’s lo

CRASH!The vase breaks into thousands of tiny pieces. Standing above the broken ceramic is Lincoln, with wild red eyes. He’s in a murderous rage and he breaks everything in his vicinity. Hastings is on a couch, bored of the man-child’s drama but Lincoln is on a warpath.“I’LL KILL THEM ALL!” Lincoln shouts. “THEY’VE BETRAYED ME-”“You were stupid enough to trust a stranger,” Hastings yawns. “You should’ve come to me instead. Just like your dad did. Your stupidity cost us the hospital. If you had your shares, we’d have been unbeatable today.”Lincoln shoots him a glare but Hastings doesn’t care. They’re at Lincoln’s farmhouse, a property he had purchased a few months back in secret. Lincoln can’t fathom his loss. Jamie and Damien double crossed him but he’s more shocked by Salvez.“My father is a fool! He only wants his business to be safe but I don’t care about all that!” Lincoln yells. “I just want Halsey!”“And I want revenge against Nathan Michell,” Hastings says. “The best way to

Daniel and Lincoln stand up, shocked. They gape at Nathan who’s grinning. “What’s the meaning of this?” Daniel snarls at Salvez. “Why are you withdrawing your support? And isn’t he the head of the Michell family? He’s your enemy!”“My father is merely supporting me,” Damien calmly says. Daniel rounds on him.“Did you forget that I saved you all those years ago? I gave you a new heart!”“By killing the woman I love,” Damien quietly says. This makes Daniel even more furious. Lincoln is glaring at Jamie but she’s smug. Nathan takes charge.“Fifty five percent of the shares have been transferred to me,” he tells his father. “You’re not the chairperson of this hospital anymore. I am. It’s over for you, dad.”Daniel glares at Nathan while Lincoln is silent. He’s too shocked, too numb to say anything. Once again, he has lost. This can’t be happening, he tells himself. It’s all a bad dream!But it’s not. It’s real and it’s happening. Nathan has taken over the hospital and effectively, Linco

Nathan is sitting on the couch, thinking hard. It’s past three o’clock in the morning and he’s not sleepy. On the contrary, he’s feeling agitated about what’s going to happen in a few hours. Even if everything seems to go according to his plan, he’s still nervous. What if something goes wrong? Even one misstep can ruin years of hard work.Halsey stirs in her sleep and rolls over to the side to hug Nathan only to find the spot to be empty. She slowly opens her eyes to find him on the couch, drinking alone. He looks worried and this in turn, worries her.“What’s wrong?” she asks as she approaches him. “Why are you awake at this hour?”“Can’t sleep,” Nathan mutters as he takes a sip from his drink. Halsey sighs and sits next to him. She pours a glass of whiskey for herself. Nathan is slightly surprised.“When did you start drinking whiskey?” He asks.“I don’t drink it,” she admits. “I just wanna give you company right now, that’s all. Why? You don’t like it when I drink?”“It’s up to yo
