“I was also shocked when I saw him… but ever since that incident he never wakes up”
Shaun stated. Standing as he had his way to see his father. I can clearly see how big his eye bags are. I bet he also had a hard time… after all… I know that it is just the two of them after he lost his mother.
“What did the doctor tell you? Is there really no way to help him?”
Hearing how there was a brief silence, Drake was there to hold my hand. Thankfully he was there… it is always him supporting me…
“They did what they could, but even the most advanced technology we had couldn’t do any help at all. He needs time to get well. And if there is a miracle… he can wake up”
“A miracle?”
So that is how bad Mr. Sebas’s situation is?? But… I heard it was an accident, how can it be this severe?
“And there was something he said before he finally lost consciousness and fell into a coma”
Looking at us, Shaun was never this mad. I saw him like this…
“He is dangerous”
What does he mean he? Who is he pertaining to exactly?
“Who is he?”
“I don’t know, but there is something I am sure of, this isn’t a mere accident”
Looking back at his father, Shaun clenches the railing on the side of Mr. Sebas’s bed.
“You mean someone planned this?”
“Yes, someone is behind this. And he isn’t the simple guy. Because even my father sees him as someone dangerous…”
I look at Drake, he is also deep in his thoughts.
“But who would do that?”
“I think you have someone on your mind, don’t you?”
I did not dare look at him. Indeed, I have someone I was thinking of. But wouldn’t it be a thoughtless opinion? I mean, he would think I have a grudge against Marco and all…
“I do have… but I think it would be pointless”
“Marco Hinsen”
Drake then stated. Eyes looking at Shaun. I can feel how his hand holds me a bit tighter.
“Drake”
“Yes, I also think of the same thing”
So they also think it was Marco. After all, is there anyone else we can think of other than him? It was him who suddenly appeared in our life and turn things to shit…
Shaking my head, I know it won’t be easy.
“But we have no evidence on how he is related to that”
“For now we don’t. But we can find it… no, more than that, I think it is you who knows about it. Don’t you think so? Kianna?”
Looking at me, why is he so sure that I can? Although I am willing to do what I can to give Marco what he deserves, I am still lacking in many things. I need time and most of all…
“Don’t think too much Kianna. You are not going to fight alone. I am just asking your help”
“No, it is my fight. If this isn’t an accident but a plan that Marco did, isn’t it my job and responsibility to bring out the bad deeds of my dear half-brother?”
Drake looks at me. I know it would be dangerous. I know that it won't be easy. But that doesn’t mean I should back out and not do something.
If I don’t do anything, I might regret it… just like what they said… I need to find out the truth. I need to end all of this…
“So Shaun, Drake, please give me your assistance”
There was a small smile to be seen on Shaun’s face. But as for Drake, he seems worried. Cupping his cheeks, I smiled.
“I will be fine… we will be fine…”
That is what I said, that is what I planned it to be. And that is what I would want to achieve.
“And who the hell are you?”
Facing Drake, it is the opposite of where the entrance door was located. Maybe that is the reason why the person who just came didn’t realize who I was. But that voice, that tone…
Just hearing it is enough for me to know who the owner of that voice was. I can’t help but smile as I feel much joy about it. But my excitement made me forget what she had said at first.
“What are you doing to my friend’s husband?!”
Shouting at the top of her lungs as if she caught her lover cheating on her, I was a bit thankful that this room was on the east side since… I know for sure it would have caught such a commotion.
“Seki…” Shaun called her but it seems like she is not calming down any time soon,
“Who is she? Drake? Does Kianna know about it? And you Shaun, how can you let them do this? Who is she? Why are you not answering? Huh??!”
She was mad. Mad at the fact that another girl is touching Drake like this when Drake is her friend’s lover.
Isn’t it cute?
I am no longer using the gadget so it was turned off. For sure, Seki would determine what my voice sounds like.
For sure I want to tease her much more but it makes me feel bad to make her be mad like this…
“Seki, pfft, long time no see”
I mumbled giggling as I looked at where she was. Slightly waving my hand, I saw her surprised face.
There, I can’t explain if it is joy or surprise that is written all over her face. Maybe both? I am not really sure. But the one thing I am sure of, she rushes hugging me so tight.
“You, you really…ahh, Why are you so careless? Can’t you be a little careful even just for a while??”
Hugging me so tight, I hug her back. It's really been so long since I last saw her. I missed her, and I miss my friends… but more than that, judging by how my life has become, it would be hard to be back to what we all used to be.
“I missed you”
Oh how I wish for things to be better… I really want for these problems to end…
“I missed you too, but really, Kianna, you scared the hell out of me… I really thought I would have to bury Drake with her blonde lover… why the hell did you-“
And she started with her scolding. I mean, it was fun tho. I think even Shaun finds it amusing. He was smiling as he watched how her girlfriend was having fun.
Maybe it lessens his stress somehow…
However, we were asked to be out of the room since she was being a little too loud. I missed her so much. I really do. I just hope that... she will find happiness every day too.
Someone’s POV
Strange, I don’t know her… yet, why do I feel like… I have seen her somewhere before…?
“Bea?”
Mumbling that name, nothing comes out of my mind, strange… what is this feeling of familiarity?
“You still came? I already told you that there is no need, Francis”
Just like what it always was, his unit is still a mess.
“Nikolai, you should really clean up your space. I won’t be surprised if I see a rat living in your garbage”
Pulling his blanket, he just hid himself. This guy…
Since that time he was dumped by Seki- I mean, Ysekiel… he became like this. But isn’t it him to be blamed for this outcome?
“This is really why I hate being affiliated with that kind of feeling. It really does make people hopeless”
“Shut up Francis, just leave me alone”
“Yeah yeah, so be it”
But how can I leave him like this? I don’t know if it is because of Rocco, but… I just can’t bring myself to leave someone in this state…
“Hah, love really makes people dumb”
“Yes, yes, I understand that… really, Seki. I know what I am doing” Looking at me with that bored look on her face, I know how much she doesn’t have a single trust in the words I have said. Although, what I said was true! I know that it was reckless of me to go there… but I need to do that. Or else… Or else I would regret not doing so… “I don’t really understand why you are so thick-headed after all of what happened. But Kianna… I am just worried” Pinching my cheeks, she is like a big sister to me. “Sorry to make you worry” “As if you wouldn’t do it again” I just offer her a smile. Drake is now talking with someone on the phone. I bet it was his employer. Will it really be right that he won’t do that project? But if it is impossible as of now, there is really no reason to keep pursuing it. It takes time… “Seems like you have to go now” She mumbled pointing to Drake. “I need to talk with Mr. Sebas first” There was a frown on her face. Indeed, it isn’t the right term to be use
As soon as we arrived back in the house, I quickly gathered the files I had with me. I also bring my laptop and some other things. Looking at Drake, he is now holding the keys to our car. Smiling at me with that reassuring gaze, I nodded my head. I shouldn’t panic. I can do this. I must… “Let’s go” We are on our way to an apartment named after someone else. Serena’s friend. But in reality, I am the owner of that unit. Drake and I. Just think of it as a disguise. For me to have the chance to meet Serena. Since we all do not know what may happen if anyone finds out that I am still alive. Since I already made up a name as Bea, should I ask Jena to sell me an identity? That would be much easier. It would be easier to move that way. “Kianna, don’t read while we are moving. Or else your eyes would be hurt” “Drake, I need to know the situation right away. Every second counts. Sorry… just… just this time” Putting his hand on my wrist, it made me look at him. he may be staring straight a
“Stay, that is all I need you to do” “Are you fucking out of your mind? You don’t see me as some kind of dog that would stay just because you wanted to, do you?” Full of anger, even though it was just the two of them inside that room, Hera can’t help but feel like something is not right. If before, she would feel comfortable with him, now, it wasn’t the case at all. As if, something inside her was telling her that he was just a piece of bad news. “I don’t even know why I came here after all of that, what a waste of time” About to leave, she was surprised when Marco stopped her with his blunt words. “But you know how much you love to be a dog with me” Eyes widening in anger, she stomps her feet as she slams her hands on his table. Glaring at him as if she would kill him, he is not frightened at all. “I dare you to say that again and I will not fucking tolerate any of your bullshits” “But I am telling the truth, am I not?” Scowling at him, instead of feeling frightened, Marco se
“Jena, did you find anything?” Shaking her head, Jena handed her the envelope that she was holding. They planned to meet in Serena’s place but because of some matters, they decided to just meet back home. After all, it would be bad if anyone found out that they have a connection with Serena. “That is all I got. Even though it was quite quick since Shaun also looked through his information, that is what we gathered” Opening the envelope, indeed, both files of those two are as clean as snow. White on the outside yet they are still hiding impurities. “By the way, are you alone?” Jena asked as she looked around and found no one else than them. “No, Drake was with me. He was just taking a bath” “Ahh… that is good to hear. Please avoid being alone. Even though this place is the most safest for you, we can’t tell what may happen.” “Thank you for your concern, Jena… but I would be more than happy if we find even just a small piece of evidence to bring their dirt out their faces” Noddi
“I thought it would be you who is sick once again but to my surprise, it was Drake” Holding Drake’s hands, I know no one else who may help us right now. It was Gion who was a doctor, a friend of Drake. One of the few people that knows that I am still alive. He is also a friend of the therapist I talked to before. “How was his condition?” “You don’t have to worry much. You two are a lucky couple if I may say. He just needs rest and that is all. I will prescribe him a medicine and make sure that he drinks it on time” Looking at the state of Drake, he doesn’t look good even though Gion told me he is… “Don’t worry too much. It won’t be good for you. More than anything else, Drake needs you this time. Be here for him. He may be under lots of pressure and have not much sleep. Those factors are enough to make him have a fever” Drake surely is… doing more than what he can. He is always pushing himself too much. But no matter what I told him to rest, he won’t do so… this guy… why is he ma
“And.. There we go”Letting out a deep sigh as soon as I rested my head on my pillow, Drake was beside me. Completely changed and fresh. I didn’t know it would be that hard but it was worth it. To think that he would be sick like this… I should really scold him whenever he works too much. It isn't good for him. Work is important but… honestly, he is much more important than that. I know he can achieve many things and I am so proud of him for that. But… I would be more happy if he won’t be in tough spots… Looking at his face his breathing is stable. I hope he gets well soon…Hugging him, I can't help but wonder. The hurting face he showed me before… I wonder what happened in those things that he saw. Is there a possibility that he has seen sometimes I didn’t?I mean, sure, it was a surprise that he know some memories when I turn back time… but… with what the other Kianna told me… Souls… timeline… Is there a possibility that I did not go back to the past but live another timeline?
“I think it wouldn’t be long till the company totally fails… hah… what is wrong? Why are they targeting-“ Confused about why there was a call in the odd hour, Serene still picked up the phone as soon as she saw it was her best friend, Kianna. “Yes? What is it?” [Serena…] Calling her name with a horsey voice, Serena can’t help but frown. ‘Something isn’t right. Something isn’t right’ “What happened?” As soon as she heard the news, Serena couldn’t help but be worried. [It seems like Drake was his target now. We still haven’t finished the matters in the company and here we are…] “Is it… that Marco’s doing again?” Among anyone else, the only person who would have such motives to constantly target her friend is none other than that man, Marco Hinsen. [It seems so] Serena gulp. ‘Just as I thought’ “What shall we do now?” [Serana… we always make jokes when we told each other back then that if any of us kills someone, the other one would help hide the corpse] It was indeed a jo
“What the hell… how did this happen?? You are telling me she just took almost half of our sales?? That woman… “Seeing the paper that shows the report of their Hinsen company, no one can deny the fact that simple dust became a big eye-sore for them.“Bea Houson…”Marco mumbled looking at the profile of Bea. He can’t help but have a small frown on his face.“Everything looks perfect…”Showing up in the GALA that he prepared to commemorate the death of his father, it was a plan to strengthen the connections of the one and only boulder of the fashion industry.In the world of fashion, they are the parent of all other small branches. None dare look down on them. None dare attack them and compete with them. But that was an old story to be told.Shining as if she were a precious gem, no one predicted how the fashion bee would appear. In terms of men and women, it was known that women could be more creative and all. Even before Mr. Hinsen, the very founder of that company was his mother who n
