CHAPTER 7
It's been a month since the accident, but the girl has yet to awaken. There is also no information about her family, and no one is looking for the girl.
Every day, the young man went to the girl's location, hoping to see some improvement in her condition, but he had bad luck. The young man was eager to complete their two-year mission and couldn't wait any longer.
"I'm not going to wait for her anymore; I'm done with this!" exclaimed the young man as he entered his office.
"Just wait a little longer, the doctors said, she's getting better," Lucas tries to reassure his friend. "Getting better? Look at her condition, Lucas; she's still fvcking comatose!"
"Yeah, I know," Lucas replied calmly, "but we don't have a choice; we have to wait. Seeing her still in that condition does not imply that nothing has changed; the doctor also stated that there is a good chance she will wake up one of these days."
"One fvcking month has been wasted waiting for her, and I'm not going to waste another," Luther raged. "She just needs a few more days—"
"No, I told you, I'm done with this! You know how hard it was for me to wait just to complete this mission, and now you want me to wait for her? Fvcking no!" the young man said, still irritated. "We must ensure that everything is under control—"
"She's still fvcking unconscious! Do you think she'll say anything against me in this state?"
"But what about Asano? We must keep a low profile—"
"They're already moving towards us, and if we don't act, we might really die before they do."
"But—"
"I don't want to hear any more buts from you, Lucas," Luther interrupted his friend. He sat in front of his desk, pinching his temple to relax. Lucas didn't say anything else, but he was still opposed to what his friend wanted to happen when Kheed entered. "Dude, you won't believe this," Lucas looks while the young CEO remained seated. "Everyone is talking about it, and if you look outside, you'll see that those female employees mourning!"
"Just spill it, Kheed," Lucas said flatly, exhausted from the fight with Luther.
"Everyone is talking about HIS girlfriend," Kheed explained making the young man confusedly stared at him. "What?"
The young man's frequent visits to the girl's home generated a lot of attention, particularly among women. They assumed the enigmatic young man already had a girlfriend.
"How did they get that kind of information?" Lucas inquired. "It's a secret that only we and doctors know about the woman's situation, especially the area."
" According to rumors I heard, someone saw him go to your rest house and saw his visit to Samantha," Kheed said as he sat next to the young man.
"How? That's a private location, and—- don't tell me one of the nurses spread it?"
"I'm not sure, but everyone's buying it," Kheed shrugged.
"Damn! I told her to pick her companions carefully!" Lucas grumbled, "We have to clear this—-"
"Let's have it that way," Luther said again, "What?"
"Let them think that way; it saves me from having to make excuses."
"But that would cause a commotion."
"I told you I didn't want to hear any more buts from you," Luther said as he took papers from his desk. Lucas shook his head in response, knowing that he can't do anything when his final with his decision, while Kheed stood in the front and seemed to enjoy watching the two.
After a month of waiting, the young CEO got to work running their company while continuing their mission. Some of the women avoided the young man due to the gossip, but there are still some who try to attract the handsome CEO in the hopes of being noticed.
Everything works in Luther's favor, especially after learning about their mission. They received some useful information in exchange for the high-quality guns they obtained on Lopez. It contains evidence that his parents' deaths were not an accident.
The young man shivered in fumes as he read the letter's contents, the painful memory of his parents' deaths returning. He shook off the bitter memories and focused on the final line of the verse.
"Le'Roux... Asano..." he read from the letter's final words. The letter did not specify what they were, but it provided a hint as to Luther's next step. He crumpled the paper and then set it on fire without hesitation.
His suspicions were correct; the Asano was one of the causes of their demise. He was not wrong when he saw the clan's symbol among the items left behind by his late father. "I have some good news," Lucas announced as he entered the office, followed by Kheed. "What exactly is that fire?"
"I have good news as well," the young man said, grinning.
"If that one is smiling like that, it really is good news," Kheed said, "What exactly is it?"
"The information we obtained from the previous trade contains testimonials about my parents' death; it wasn't an accident, I knew it!" Luther said in glee," I also have names."
"Really? That's fantastic news for us!" Lucas exclaimed. "That will make our mission easier."
"Yeah," the young man said, "Who exactly are they?"
"Well, they gave me two names, one of which I was unfamiliar with, but the other was the one we had been keeping an eye on."
" Asano?" the young man asked, Luther nodded. "Then you're correct in digging on them, but who's the other one?"
" The name is Le'Roux. I don't know about them but one thing is for sure, this is another powerful clan. " Luther answered.
"Did you say Le'Roux?" Kheed inquired, the young man nodded. "Yeah, do you know who they are?"
Kheed's jaw moved as if he was trying to suppress himself, and his eyes were filled with a mix of pain and anger. "They are the ones who murdered her."
The two young men exchanged glances, "You mean the clan you've been looking for? You said those clans have been dissolved?"
"That's what the news says, but I'm not convinced. Look at how the media manipulated his parents' death; it could be the same with them," Kheed said. Luther and Lucas both nod in agreement with his statement. " It looks like that these clans are the real deal.
"Then, if that's the case, I'll assign those tasks to you; gather some information on that clan," Luther said. "It's my pleasure," Kheed says with a grin.
"This is still a lucky day for us," Lucas said. "About that, you mentioned you have good news as well; what is it?" Luther asked.
"She finally regains consciousness," the two exchanged glances before smiling at the young man.
"Who?" the young man inquired, who had forgotten about the woman while focused on the company and the mission.
"The girl you accidentally hit"
Chapter 10 The girl finally awakened after two months of waiting. The three young men dashed over to the girl's location. Kheed was overjoyed with the news, not because of the mission, but because he could finally meet and talk to the girl. While Luke and Luther were both thinking about the mission. It's been a long time for the young man, and now that she's awake, he's not going to waste another year. "Where is she?" Kheed asked the doctor, who had just emerged from the woman's room. The doctor was taken aback, not expected the young men to appear immediately. "She's inside, but she's — wait! You need to know something first!" the doctor yelled at the three impatient men. They entered quickly and noticed a young woman sitting on the edge of the bed. She was wearing a bandage on both her head and arm, and a cast on her legs. Some scars can still be seen, though they have faded. Nonetheless, her beauty is stunning, leaving Kheed speechless. "Shit...She's even better in person,"
Chapter 9 "Oh my god! Doc! She's awake!" A woman's voice resonated throughout the room, ultimately causing my eyelids to open and reveal an array of white. Am I dead? Is this the afterlife? "It's a miracle," says another voice. "Call the young master and inform him that she has awakened," "Finally, you're awake." More voices I heard nearby. Is heaven really this loud? Still feeling the pain, I tried to turn around and saw women in white pacing the room, hurrying their every move. I looked around and noticed the structure's contents. The room is white and wooden. It doesn't have that design, but if you look around the room, it's clear that money has been spent. From the cabinet to the sofa to the paintings on the wall. There is also a large mirror near my bed that I believe is worth a thousand dollars. I'm sure this place is only for the wealthy. But... What am I doing? What exactly am I doing here? I'm not familiar with this location... Could it just be one of my
Chapter 10 "She's very beautiful, isn't she? Even her complexion is porcelain as if she's bathing in milk," a nurse who was wiping the girl's cheek said. " True, even her eyes are unusual; they're so light and golden in color; could she be a foreigner?" another nurse inquired. "Perhaps; her appearance is unusual among us Filipinos, but the information attached to her is the opposite," responded another nurse. " Her parents are both Filipinos," she says. "Maybe she's adopted?" "Be quiet, Clara. The young men might hear you," reprimanded the oldest of them and stand as the head nurse. While looking around, the nurse covered her mouth. "I apologize." "I saw the information that the young master provided as well as the photos of the girl's family; she looks exactly like her brother, and his eyes are also golden in color," said the person wiping the girl's face. "Then the young woman appears truly blessed; her acquired beauty is divine," the two agreed. " This is probably why
Lucas was surprised to see the mother's response. Her fear was noticeable, but what she said surprised him the most. According to the lady, the girl already has a boyfriend. And the lady is afraid of her boyfriend. If that's the case, he can't use the previous strategy because if she's afraid of the lover and the girl has amnesia, she'll take the girl away. He needs to alter his strategy, and he already knows what to do. He will use her terror from the frightening boyfriend into cooperating with them. "No, that wasn't what I meant." Lucas addressed the lady. "I'm here to inform you of her condition." "W-why? What's the p-problem?" I stammered again. "May I enter?" Despite her hesitation, the lady let the young man inside and despite her lack of funds, the lady was still able to provide the young man with something to drink, "thank you." "W-what w-what happened to my daughter?" she inquired once more. "She was in an accident, but she's fine now. There's just a small problem," he ex
The three returned to the girl's nearby room, which they had previously visited. "Mrs. Vasque agrees to introduce you as her daughter's boyfriend." It was Lucas' introduction that piqued the two's interest. "Oh, that's great news!" Kheed exclaimed. "Yeah, but do you know how I get her to agree?" "How?" Kheed inquired. "It's due to the girl's true boyfriend." "What? Why does it appear to be a mess?" Kheed was perplexed, and Luther could see his frown. "Her daughter has a boyfriend, but she agrees to let him act?" Lucas nodded. "I told you that family was strange." "At first, I introduced myself as Samantha's boyfriend's friend in order to get into the plan, but seeing how terrified the lady was, I knew I couldn't use that tactic, so I changed the plan and used her terror on the real boyfriend to coerce cooperation with us," Lucas continues. "She was afraid of her daughter's boyfriend?" Kheed inquired once more. "It appears to be so." "That's strange!" "I know, but it's useful to
Every girl's dream was to be a princess, living in a large castle, dressed in a pink and ruffled gown, and wearing a tiara accompanied by a slew of servers to help her. But what makes a girl want to be a princess is to find her prince. I'm not sure what happened to me; I'm not a princess... But why is such a handsome prince standing in front of me? Is this another dream? Because if that's the case, please don't wake me up. "You're my boyfriend?" I asked, completely baffled, as I stared at his handsome face. He didn't respond, but his nod was enough to make me feel a tingle in my stomach. Who wouldn't be overjoyed if they awoke one day to find themselves with a princely handsome boyfriend? "Isn't he handsome?" said the person next to it, whose name, if I recall correctly, is Kheed. I nodded and smiled at him. "I'm so lucky!" He laughed at what I said. "You're really lucky. Don't you know your boyfriend is the president of a big company? Women are trying to get him, but you're the o
"Wow..." I exclaimed as I stared in awe at a massive golden gate, my mouth wide open.As soon as you enter the gate, you can tell that the people who live there are wealthy. Even though I haven't seen the actual house, I am awestruck by what I see. Aside from the golden gate, there are tall and lush trees lining the path, as well as colorful plants nearby. It reminded me of the location I saw in my dream before waking up. "Wipe your saliva first, you'll see a lot more," Kheed laughed as he drove next to me in the car. I also laughed and shook my head at what he said. "It's a waste of a wipe, it's just a wipe later," I retorted, drawing more laughter from him. "Finally, someone appreciates my wit!" he exclaimed, laughing. Mom and I both smiled as we shook our heads. "Before I forget, why didn't my boyfriend pick us up?" I asked, looking out the window where the car was passing. "He wants to, but he can't because, as I told you, your boyfriend is the president of a large corporation,
Chapter 15"Why do you think the young master suddenly sent us here?" Esmeralda inquired of the house's head maid as she wiped the plate. "I wonder, too. Haven't they gone from Casa de Luna since Señor died? What could the Young Master have been thinking?" a man laying plants inside inquired, shaking his head. "The young master's lover is coming, so don't be surprised," the head maid replied with a smile. "Young master has a girlfriend?" both of them inquired. "With that attitude of his?" The old lady shook her head and cracked up at what the two had said. She understood why they reacted this way, and she assumed that everyone would, especially his grandmother. "How come you're surprised? Our boss is very masculine and attractive, isn't he?""That's right, I was blinded by his handsome face that almost got fired for staring at him. The only thing I don't understand is how he managed to get a girlfriend with his behavior? And women don't interest him, right?" Esmeralda replied. "Ev
