49. SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Zach decided to hold the meeting at another venue the next morning since the original company was seriously out of options. He was waiting for the rest of the members alongside Hera who chose to sit down at a far distance. He was unhappy about this but he knew that it had to do with the discussion that they had yesterday. However, he was able to let her in on his mind so he wouldn't have to be scared about making a move on her.A few minutes later, some of the expected guests started arriving and they greeted one another. Zach waited patiently for all of them to arrive before he started the meeting. "It's quite unfortunate that such a thing happened right under your noses and no one can give a report that will help out with the investigation. Anyway, less talking about that. More action on the important work to do." A man stood up with his head bowed low at first. "The fire incident damaged a lot of goods in the warehouse not far from the building. Most of these goods are expensiv

50. SHOOT.

Blake entered the company with a young girl clinging to his arm. She was fair in complexion rather than white and she had an hourglass figure even with her small stature. Her hair was packed up in a style that could remind one of the cartoon character BARBIE. Her giggling and talking could be heard as they were approaching the main company. "Good morning, sir." All the boss's fifteen stood up to greet them including Anna. Her eyes went from Blake to the young girl multiple times while trying to maintain her stand. "Good morning to you all. I got a call from Zach this morning. This is what he needs you all to do. There was a certain amount of money collected from this purse around a few months ago. Twenty billion dollars to be precise however they can't give an account for it and before he makes any conclusion, he needs to know if you guys could have the original detail." He explained to them. "Alright, sir. We will check and get back to you." Mira responded and Blake nodded before

51. GUNSHOTS.

Later in the evening, Hera and Zach were coming back from the last place they had gone to for business. She refused to speak with him and even if there was a need, she would prefer to be formal about it. Zach still didn't mind because he knew that he had a lot of things to do and there was going to be sufficient time enough.Even though she wasn't on a speaking term with him, she still found it okay to enjoy the ice cream that he bought randomly. "Is it delicious?" He asked, intending to start a conversation with her. Hera nodded, she indeed loved the flavor and promised to get one for Austin because she knew that he would love it. "How do you plan on dealing with the embezzlers?" She inquired.Zach sighed and rubbed the space between his brows. He was also confused because he was yet to plan on that particular issue. He didn't expect that the twenty million dollars would go to waste just like that. Maybe this fire incident was for a good cause after all. "I still don't know yet. I

52. A DEAL.

"What is it that you want?" Zach asked fearlessly but carefully because he knew that if it were to be him alone, he could have pulled some silly tricks since it wasn't his first time being in such a positive.The man chuckled and pulled out the chair opposite them to sit on. "I like your bravery, Zach. I have heard so much about you and I am happy to have met you this time around. Permit me to introduce myself. I am Scorpion. That's all. You asked me what I want but you can't provide what I want because that is only on your father's part." "My father?" He mumbled. "Yes, your father. He has what we need and to get him is a problem so we had to take you instead. Bummer!" "Were you people the ones who burnt down the company?" Zach asked him after the realization dawned. "Bummer." The man snapped his fingers. "How dare you?! Do you know how much my father had to work to build that? That is one of our important bases!" Zach retorted angrily and only got his brain re

53. WE MEET AGAIN.

The nurse at the counter, when she saw Selena, smiled happily and giggled at herself. She could hardly maintain her posture but seeing that she was in the hospital, she had no choice but to maintain it. "Hello there." Selena waved. "Yes, please. I believe that you are related to the person that was rushed in earlier." The nurse responded.Selena shook her head in disagreement and pointed at Hera whose appearance looked filthy though due to blood and dirt. "She is the one related. I happened to have helped her." Selena answered. "Oh, I see. Who is the person and what's your relationship with him?" Hera blinked. She tangled her fingers with one another nervously as she stared at the paper that the nurse had brought out. "Ma'am?" "Uhm...his name is Zach Young and I am his assistant."The nurse wrote down Zach's name and paused. Zach Young? Why did that sound familiar to her? She glanced at Hera suspiciously and then at the corner where Zach's unconscious body had passe

54. THANK YOU.

The next morning, Zach opened his eyes suddenly as if something had clicked into his brain thereby waking him up in a rush. The moment he turned his head to his right-hand side, he was greeted with Ben's huge head. "Boss? Boss, you are awake." "Hmm..." "Don't say anything yet. Let me get you a glass of water." Ben rushed to the desk and picked up a clean glass cup that he used immediately. He brought the water back to Zach and helped him to sit up.Zach grimaced in pain due to the injury. He collected the glass of water and drank it. His eyes were searching for one particular person but when there was no sign of her in the room, he glanced at Ben. "Where is Hera?" "She went home to change her clothes and also reschedule all the meetings for today." Zach nodded. That must be too much for her to handle alone.Last night, he had received the bullet meant to hit her and he really wanted to know how she did it. How she survived in the wide when he was unconscious. He then looked at

55. DISAPPOINTED.

Zach was finally discharged after a few days and was currently at home, speaking with the cop. The man was there to have some words with him regarding the incident and also about the attack on Zack. "This only proves that it was well planned. But how do you want things to slide, Mr. Zach? How do you want it to go? Because it already involves your father in it all. Thankfully, nobody in the company was hurt if not...it could have been another thing." The cop said.Zach sighed. This was far broader than he thought. If he were to go after these people, it would only be that he was seeking trouble and that wasn't his way of life. Violence was not something that he treasured or valued. "I believe that I have to speak with my dad about this. The case should be on hold for now. We don't need you to investigate until further notice." Zach answered. "Alright then, Mr. Zach. As you wish. I will silence the media about it since there is no information to give yet. If that will be all,

56. THE PAST.

Hera slowly placed the soaked towel on his back as she cleaned the wound. Zach would flinch once in a while and then glare at her playfully. "Didn't you say that the water was warm? This is hot!" He retorted.Hera smiled wickedly and pressed it firmly on his back, causing him to wince. "Hera!" She giggled in response, "I am sorry."Zach then smiled to himself while allowing her to take care of his back. Hera stared at the wound for a while. It was deeper than she thought, the feeling suddenly caused her to shiver because she never believed that such a thing would happen. "Hera, why aren't you cleaning it again? Are you okay?" Zach asked her worriedly while turning his head a bit but couldn't grasp her view. She blinked and sighed. "Yes, I am fine. I was just staring at the wound and how deep it is. I was thinking that if this was to be me, I don't think I would survive it." She answered.Zach's lips parted slightly as if wanting to say something but he stopped himself an

57. REASSURANCE.

"Mom?" Hera called with a quivering voice. She was shocked to see her here. She was looking so beautiful before she died and now, even more appealing. How?The woman was still smiling as she opened her arms wide. "Don't you miss me?" She asked.Her voice.Her voice was something that Hera had missed a lot and hearing it again felt heavenly to her. She instantly ran to hug her and cried out. "This is real. I am not dreaming. You are here with me, Mum. I miss you so much. Many things have happened ever since you left and... and Dad has changed a lot, Mum. I am being punished for what I did not do..." "Hera, can you at least calm down?" Her mum asked after chuckling. She looked into her daughter's eyes and cupped her cheeks as she used to when she was alive. "Why don't we forget about your dad and let's talk about you, hmm?" She suggested. "Mum, I really miss you." Hera sobbed and hugged her again. Her mum [ Eugenia ] smiled bitterly. "I miss you too, girl. I do miss you." She a

58. I WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE.

Hera groaned as she tried turning her body around. The pain she felt, even though it wasn't much, was still bothering her. "Hey, are you alright, Miss?" Someone called as she attended to her. Hera finally opened her eyes and looked at who it was then at her surroundings. "Where am I? Who are you? What happened to me?" She inquired. "You are still at the house of Mr. Zach, I am the nurse in charge of taking care of you and you fainted about two days ago because something happened to you but I think Mr. Zach will be able to explain better it if he comes back." The nurse replied politely. "Where is Mr. Zach?" "He isn't around. He went to a meeting this morning. He will be back anytime soon. It's almost dusk." "Hmm." "How is your condition? How are you feeling?" The nurse asked as she checked on the necessary parts that she was supposed to and Hera gave her responses. Hera remembered that she was with her mother in what seemed to have been her imaginary dream but t
