“You are aware that I'm not after David's pay, you dumb ass. Where are the documents?” Oscar forced air violently through the nose with a rough harsh sound as he let out with bare teeth, he lifts his disgruntled face to Henry.

“Ah ah, so that's what this is about?” Henry chuckles.

“Will you stop beating around the bush?” Oscar questioned as he sat on a cushioned chair, fixing his gaze on Henry's smiling face.

“Why should I give you something that's not yours? Before our leader, Mr. Chu the first in command died, he transferred all his riches to me which makes me a millionaire with just a document.” Henry explained with the corners of his mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed.

“Why would he give the documents to the third in command when I, the second in command still in existence? Why?” Oscar questions as he stood up, pacing back and forth.

“Why would he give me his property documents a few minutes before his death? Remember he died in your office. There is something fishy about this.” Henry let out his mind as a smile spreads on his face. Oscar was so furious seeing the glamorous smile on the man he is torturing, Oscar paused as he fiercely stared at Henry.

“Will you keep shut!” Oscar utters a loud shout as he slides a loaded gun from his pocket, grabbing it with his left hand. He points it at Henry with his middle finger at the trigger almost firing the bullet.

“What a pity! I don't care if you kill me or not. What do I have to lose? It's so bad that after my death, no one will find those documents. I guess the properties were meant to be left in the dust.” Henry whispers as he winked at Oscar. Oscar has a dazed look of bewilderment, he couldn't hold back the rage of killing his rival, Henry.

“Goodbye then.” Oscar grins.

“Do you know a real man faces his male opponent with no help? Do you want to know why he offered me his documents? Why don't you release me and understand from that amazing point of view?”

“Huh?”

Henry pulled his weight from the chain which allowed him to stamp his feet on the wall, he moved his legs swiftly and effortlessly, rolling around. He waggled his feet pushing Oscar's gun as the bullet sped towards Henry. Oscar rifts letting his mouth wide open, he wasn't expecting this. The bullet Oscar triggered encountered the chain tying Henry to the roof.

Clings!

The chains disassembled as they let go of Henry. Henry fell on both feet as he confronted Oscar, he balled his bleeding fist.

Oscar presses his lips with narrowed eyebrows as he said another gun out of his pocket, pointing it at Henry.

“How about a bet? You win the fight alone and I offer you the documents, you lose the fight then I get to be the first in command.” Henry offered as blood dropped slowly from his wrist.

“Ah ah ah. It's not like he passed through Mr. Chu's paid training. He is nothing less than a bastard” Oscar scoffed in a whisper as he glared at Henry. Oscar threw his gun to the side as he also balled his fist.

Henry bent his neck to the right and left which made some cracking noises. Henry overlooks his wounded arm as he faces Oscar. “Bring in on, dude.”

Oscar rushed to Henry as he slides a powerful kick on the ground towards Henry with the anticipation of making him fall and take over. Henry managed to dodge as he turns backward with a quick revolution along the air bringing his feet over to his head. Henry places his feet on the ground standing upright.

“It's not too late to give me the documents.” Oscar reminds him as his punch was fast as it caught Henry's stomach. Oscar paused as he noticed blood gushing out of Henry's mouth, he was so happy seeing Henry in a pool of blood.

“Never!” Henry wipes the blood stains on his mouth with his sleeves.

“You asked for a painful death then.” Oscar punches Henry's injured arm. “Argh..” Henry cries as he fell to the ground due to the immense pain he's going through. Henry kicks Oscar off with both legs as he placed his other hand on the injured arm.

Oscar pressed his feet on the ground as he slides away due to Henry's kick. “I don't think I can do this any longer,” Henry whispered to himself.

Henry ran towards Oscar. He hurled Oscar into the dust and a cloud of dust arose blocking Oscar's view.

“Guys, get hold of him!” Oscar coughs loudly waving his fanned hand in the atmosphere. Henry used the opportunity to run away with some guns in the warehouse.

The dust settled as Oscar's vision cleared, he looked around and yelled as he noticed all his equipment are gone. His group members 'the men in black rushed in as they heard the yell of their second in command.

“I want him dead!” Oscar grunted with rage in his eyes. “It will be done.“ They chorused bowing their heads as they evacuate the building searching for Henry.

“Geez! I should have shot his forehead when I had the chance.” Oscar scolds himself as he bangs his balled fist on the chair, and the chair collapsed immediately.

A beeping sound emitted from his pocket. he shut his eyes, cooling down his flaring anger.

He pressed his lips together as he slides his cell phone out. The first thing he sighted was a message from Henry.

“Fuck you!” Oscar read out. He throws the cell phone on the ground as he grunts “Arrgh… that bastard dares me” he pulled his fingers in his hair yelling as his hands were shivering. Oscar is now at a great loss, he was sweating profusely as he tries to track down Henry's cell phone.

A grin appeared on Oscar's face as he was able to track Henry's location. He signaled to his assassin members to go that route.

Henry ran into a white incoming car as he was panting heavily. The car stops, and Roberto alights from the car “Are you ready to die, yet? Why am I just running path with idiots?” Roberto yells. Henry ran into the bushes as he heard that familiar voice, his cellphone fell off as he was trying to hide his face, it was so dark. No one noticed the cell phone that fell off, not even Henry himself.

“Sweetheart, just drive me home!” Alice cries out.

“Alright!” Roberto rolls his eyes as he hopped in the car and ignited the car engine.

“What a weird man!” Roberto scoffs.

“Weird? I find you weirder!” Alice grumbled as she applied some lipgloss on her already-dried lips.

“You know what? I regret picking you up after work! I should have left you to wait for a cab.” Roberto yells as he fixed his gaze on the unoccupied road.

“Yeah! You should have left your fiancee outside on this cold night.” Alice made a sarcastic comment as she focused on her reflection in a tiny mirror.

“What the fuck!!” Roberto exclaimed as he pressed his foot on the brakes.

“Will you stop distracting me?” Alice yelled as she noticed her makeup got ruined. Robert fixed his gaze on the smoke emitting from a burning car.

“Alice, call the fire department!!” Roberto ordered as he hops out of the white car.

Alice rolled her eyes as she sighted the burning car “Why can't we just take another route? Must we always intervene in crazy stuff?”

Roberto darted his gaze at her.

“Alright! Alright!” Alice phoned the fire department at once.

“They will be here soon,” Alice said as she grabbed some wipes adjusting her makeup.

Roberto moved closer to the burning car as he slides a white handkerchief from his pocket using it to cover his mouth and nose, the car was extremely burning and smoking. Roberto scans the burning car, he noticed the car rolling over. “Whatever! Go if you want! I'm sick and tired of you.” Alice's voice grumbled as Roberto moved closer to the burning car.

“No one could survive this!” He said to himself as he nods negatively, he was so disheartened seeing one-quarter of the car in ashes.

Roberto gasped as he sighted a young lady hurled on the floor a few feet away from the burning car. Roberto rushed to the lady, checking her heart rate and body temperature, he noticed scars and burns on her body.

Roberto smiles at himself as he noticed she survived that terrible accident, he turns her body around, and he opened his mouth in amazement as he sighted Bianca.

“Hel…Helen!” Bianca's weak voice coughed as she pointed at the burning car.

“Bianca?” Roberto was shocked. He noticed Bianca pointing at the car “I don't think her friend could survive it there!“ Roberto said to himself. Bianca's pointed finger at the burning car hits the ground as she lost her consciousness.

“Bianca! Bianca! Stay with me, girl! I will save you, stay with me.” Roberto said as he noticed that her heart beats reduced. He carried her in his arms, running to his car.

“Hey!hey!” Alice yelled calling Roberto's attention as he laid Bianca in the back seat.

“What's this, Roberto? Why don't you allow the fire department and ambulance do their job? Why would you bring this roasted lady in our car, she stinks!“ Alice said as she placed her hands on her nose.

“It's my job to help a fellow human, I'm a doctor, It's my job.“ Roberto boldly uttered as he drove to one of his nearby massive mansions.

“Oh, great! Now you brought her home! Why do you think hospitals are built?” Alice asked as she glared at Bianca.

“Bianca's case is critical, she needs full medical attention from a specialist which is me.”

“Specialist my foot! I'm starting to think something is going on between you and this burnt meat, you are always caring for her.” Alice said as she grabs her handbag from the back seat pushing Bianca's head, out of anger and jealousy.

“Will you help me take her upstairs or not?” Roberto questioned as he pulled her out of the car.

“No!” Alice yelled as she walked away clenching her bag handle which is filled with makeup kits.

“Well, I'm not surprised at your immature response,” Roberto said as he single-handedly carried Bianca on his shoulders to the guest room which is more like a private hospital.

Roberto gently drops Bianca on the bed as he grabbed his stethoscope which was in a huge cupboard beside him, he put it on.

“Hmmm..” Roberto mumbled in wonder as he noticed her heartbeats became normal.

Roberto hung the stethoscope on his neck, he grabbed a flashlight, switching it as he used his hand to open her shut eyes. Robert sighs as he noticed her pupils were not responding to stimuli, he grabbed scissors tore her clothing, he wiped all her wounds, doing the necessary things he needs to to make her comfortable in her unconscious state.

Roberto wears a blue big gown on Bianca.

Suddenly, Bianca starts inhaling and exhaling deeply as her chest region raised and lowered. Her whole body was stiffer except for the chest region which was moving.

Roberto quickly passed an injection in her veins which made her relax but her breathing was irregular. Roberto ordered a series of tests and brain scans to determine what caused the coma so he can start treatments. Bianca is in a vegetative state.

Roberto gave her breathing assistance, intravenous medications, and other supportive care.

“I will always protect you, Williams Bianca! You don't deserve to die just like this, you deserve a painful death.” Roberto informs unconscious Bianca as he smiles.

“Get well soon!” Roberto placed a kiss on her forehead, cleaned up, and walked out of the guest room. Immediately, he flung the door open he sighted Alice's discontented face, she folds her arms on her chest, and she was in a short gown.

“What's up?” Roberto questions.

“Aren't you done with her, yet?” Alice questions.

“How does that bother you?“ Roberto looked away from her as he locked the guest room door.

“Don't you remember you promised to spend the night with me?” Alice questioned as she licked her lips, waggling her fingers on his broad chest.

Roberto smiles back as he grabbed her tiny waist with lust in his eyes.

  • Chasing his heart   86. Impossible

    Henry ran to a doctor his eyes met “Hi, how is my son, Erickson? I heard he got into an accident and he needed a blood donor.” Henry questioned, he cared less about arresting Hannah.“Oh, you mean the patient in ward 103. His partner regained consciousness with bruises but he's still unconscious, he loved so much blood and urgently need a blood donor.” The doctor explained.“Then what are you waiting for? What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah. She, later on, remembered her children, and she ran to Celine's ward.“Frankly, there is a higher percentage that the blood bank might not be able to deliver on time. It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No! I just can't!” he lamented holding his head, tears flowing from his eyes as he stares at the doctor.“Aren't you his father?” The doctor questioned. “I am!” Henry said almost screaming. He knew the next option was to carry out some tests on his bloo

    It was getting dark“I will drive us home, besides mum must be damn worried,” Celine announced.Henry let out a chuckle, laughing with eyes “I wouldn't want to end up in an accident, love.” Celine darted a feigned glare at him.“You can't force me, your highness.” A blush appeared on her face, she hopped in the car with a wide smile, the smile she had never had. Her life feels complete with her family whole and healthy but she didn't think of the evil lurking in a corner. Henry drove, they were only stealing glances at each other in silence.“Dad, do you treasure every moment we share just like I do?” Celine broke the silence.“Uh… that's not a question, love. I treasure every second I set my eyes on you. I regret the fact that I didn't see you grow up.” “Those three days we spent tomorrow felt like 20 years, Dad. You don't have to be sorry.” Celine chimed.The vehicle halts at his mansion. They alighted with a smile. Don crinkled his nose when he sighted Celine, he got disgusted

    Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase. Tears streamed down her face, and her chest heaved with sobs."How could you do this to me, Henry?" she screamed. "How could you have a child with another woman?"Henry stood behind her, his hands in his pockets, looking crestfallen."Helen, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt you. It was a mistake, a one-night stand, I swear.""A mistake?" Helen whirled around, her face contorted with anger. "A child is not a mistake, Henry! You have a daughter out there, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me!""Helen, please," Henry begged, taking a step towards her. "Let me explain.""Explain what?" Helen shouted. "That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested. "It happened before we even met.""That doesn't make it be

    “That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her. She knew this was a trap, but it was too late to turn back now. She stood frozen, she gasps when she sighted Henry, Helen, and Erickson in chains, and then her hawkish gaze moved back at David.It was the first time she's seeing David in person. She squint's her brows"Who are you?" Celine asked, trying to sound confident but failing."I want your supposed father, my dear, I'm David," David replied with a smirk. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now I have you to myself."Celine clenched her fists and stepped forward. "You're sick, David. Let them go and face me like a man."David chuckled. "You are in no position to give me orders, my dear. You are the one who is going to do as I say.

She had never been so close to death before. The room was filled with the sound of their labored breathing.The minutes stretched on, and the silence between them was unbearable.
