Beyond The Echoes Of You

"Do you know me?" May asked with a confused expression, her voice bringing Mike out of his reverie."I'm sorry, what?" Mike replied, trying so hard to maintain his composure."You just called my name, so I'm asking if you know me." May replied softly."Y...Your name's May?" Mike asked, unable to believe his ears. "Yes, so do you know me? Because I've never seen you in my life, so I don't know how you know me.""I...I just..." Mike trailed, he doesn't even know where to start from. What kind of trick is fate playing on him? How can she not only look like May, but also have her name?May also couldn't tell, but there's something about the man standing in front of her that she just couldn't wrap her head around it.Mike could only stare at her, and she also couldn't resist staring back at him like all the answers would just come to her if she continues looking at him.Meanwhile, Anthony wasn't having any of it. "You said you came to return the necklace to the owner, so give it back to h

The man's face turned beet red with rage as he thundered, "Where is she!? Where could she have gone to!?" His eyes bulged, and the veins on his neck pulsed menacingly. He snatched a nearby wooden object and hurled it at the bodyguard standing before him. The object crashed into the guard's forehead, sending him stumbling backward as blood gushed from the gash.The guard's face contorted in pain, but he dared not show any expression, fearing his boss's wrath. "W-we'll find her, Sir," he stammered, his entire body trembling like a leaf in a hurricane. "I-I promise we'll find her."The man's expression twisted into a malevolent sneer. "You'd better find her," he spat, his voice dripping with malice. "Otherwise, I promise to make you suffer a fate worse than death. You'll watch as I destroy everything you hold dear. Your family will beg for mercy, but it will be too late. You'll be the one who'll be left to pick up the pieces of your shattered life."The guard's eyes widened in terror as

May sat in the living room, watching a movie, but her mind wasn't even focused on the movie because she couldn't stop thinking about Mike. Although she already told herself not to bother about him, and that there's also a huge chance that she might never get to see him again, but that's not even helping as she still find it difficult to get him out of her head."Focus, May. Focus!" She tapped her cheek, then she tried to focus on the movie she was watching.She suddenly heard the door being opened and soon Anthony walked in. May immediately stood up to welcome him."Hey, you're back." She said with a smile. "How was work?" "It was okay." Anthony replied, equally smiling. He's so stressed out from work, but seeing May was more than enough to make his stress go away. "I hope you weren't too bored being alone."May shook her head. "Not really. In fact I..." She trailed off when she remembered that Anthony had warned her to stay away from Mike. Only God knows what he'll do if she dares t

"He just annoys me so damn much, Adams." Mike complained bitterly. "I had to fight the urge to punch him right there."Adams looked at his friend and shook his head. "You seem to have too much time on your hands, Mike. You've recently taken over your parents company, and you should be working, not drinking at a bar and sleeping there, also fighting because of a woman, remember she's not May." Adams stated calmly."And who said I wasn't working? I'm really trying my best Adams, but it hasn't been easy, it's way different from when I was working with you. And I wasn't fighting anyone because of a woman." Mike defended."You only worked with me so as to gain experience and prepare yourself for this moment. It's not going to be easy, but I'm sure you've got this, and I'm always here to help you if you need anything." "Yeah, I know that." Mike replied, giving Adams a small thankful smile."So, with that said, I think you should focus on the company and leave that woman and her boyfriend a

Anthony was just dropping May off at work. "I'll be on time to pick you up, okay?" May smiled. "Sure, thank you and have a good day at work." She replied.Anthony was just leaving when a black car pulled up in front of the cafe and Mike stepped out of the car. A huge frown instantly appeared on Anthony's face, and he balled his fists in rage, the event of last night flashing through his mind, fueling his anger even more.Mike only smirked when he saw the expression on Anthony's face, he didn't say anything to either of them, rather he simply walked into the cafe."I should take a break from work today." Anthony said."Anthony! You're doing too much. I thought we both agreed that we're going to ignore him. You're not taking any break from work so you better start going or you'll be late. I can take care of myself." May replied. "It's not like he's going to do anything to me." She added."How did he even know you work here?" "It's just a coincidence. This is where he usually gets his
