We arrived at the Marriage Bureau moments later; our drive there had been a silent one. Aldwin held my hand as we walked up the row of steps. We were just in time. Tommy joined us as a witness,

“I can't believe my eyes, no way!” Tommy said aloud, his tone laced with disbelief as he saw me walking up the steps, hand in hand with Aldwin. His jaw dropped for a good ten seconds.

“Is that really you?” He asked, still visibly shocked. “Oh ma gawd! You look ravishing… I almost didn't recognise you,” h

    "I understand why you would say that." The doctor pushed the report aside and folded his hands on the desk. "But I can only tell you what the tests show. If you want to be certain, we can run the test again. But I can promise you, the result will be the same."Aldwin stared at him for a long moment, his jaw tight. Then he nodded."Run the test again," Aldwin said without blinking. "Make it quick," he added."Give me about thirty minutes. I'll be back with the result," Doctor Marsh said, then left the office, leaving Aldwin and Ray."Are you going to wait here until he comes back, or do you want to go check on Zane? You haven't seen him since the surgery," Ray said.There was a hint of compulsion in his words, as if he wasn't saying it because he wanted Aldwin to see his son, but because he wanted to see how Zane was doing himself.Aldwin hesitated for only a few seconds, then he nodded."Let's go," he said and stood up, following Ray, who was already at the door.The second test took

    Ray's brow furrowed. "How odd? Should I call the hospital and file a complaint?"Aldwin shook his head slowly. "No. I'll speak with the doctor myself."He folded the report and tucked it back into the envelope, then set it on the corner of his desk. His hands were steady now, but his mind was racing, running through possibilities he didn't want to consider.Ray stood there for a moment, waiting for more information that Aldwin wasn't ready to give. When it became clear that nothing else was coming, Ray nodded and walked toward the door."I'll have the car ready whenever you want to go to the hospital," Ray said.Aldwin nodded, and the door closed behind Ray.He sat alone in his office for a long time after Ray left, staring at the envelope on his desk. A thousand what-if's stayed on his mind.Aldwin arrived at the hospital a moment later. He needed some time to clear his mind and calm the rage that was building inside him. He had called the doctor before leaving, so the doctor was awa

    Zion opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out."He's been in surgery for over an hour," I said quietly, not looking at Zion. "He lost so much blood that he turned pale. His leg was swollen twice its size."Zion turned to face me now, and the tears he had been holding back finally spilled over. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."I didn't say anything. Lisa stayed quiet, not wanting to interfere, but I knew how angry she was at Zion for his greed, which had put Zane in a difficult position.Aldwin stepped closer to Zion, lowering his voice so only the two of them could hear. "You're going to sit here and wait. And while you're at it, you pray that your brother wakes up. And when he does, you're going to explain to him why you did what you did tonight. Not to me – I don't want to hear anything you've got to say. To him."Zion nodded, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. He walked over to the row of chairs and sat down two seats away.Aldwin walked back to where Ray was waiting.The

    "What are you doing here? How did you find me?" Zion asked, shocked to see Ray standing outside.He craned his neck to look around, immediately sensing that Aldwin might be close by. Had they been following him? He thought."You'll leave with me right away," Ray said, ignoring his questions. "Your father's orders," he added, seeing Zion's silent reluctance. He dared not refuse.Zion turned to look at the brunette who was watching."Leave," he said plainly.The brunette stared at him, confused, her brows furrowing."Didn't you hear me? I said leave. Now," Zion said sternly, seeing that the woman was hesitating.She dressed herself properly, then opened the door to leave. "Asshole," she said, slamming the door."Where is he now? My dad?" Zion asked, turning back to Ray."Come with me," Ray said, and began walking away."Why can't you just say something?" Zion called out as he stepped out of the car. "Of course you don't expect me to just leave my car here," he called again to Ray, who

    The next few minutes felt like hours.They brought Zane out of the car. They moved him onto a backboard and secured him with straps. Even from the top of the cliff, I could see how still he was – how his arms hung limp at his sides, how his head didn't move when they lifted him.Please be okay, I whispered, praying silently as they carried him out.The paramedics moved fast now that they had him on a flat surface. The woman cut his shirt open with a pair of trauma shears, while the man checked his pulse and shone a penlight into his eyes."Pupils are reactive," the man said. "He's got a pulse, but it's weak."The floodlight was bright enough that I could see everything. And that was when I noticed it.Zane's face was pale. The colour had drained out of him completely. His lips were almost white, and there was a blue tint around his mouth that made my stomach drop."Let's get him on the monitor," the woman said.They moved him onto the stretcher in the back of the ambulance and hooked

    Lisa lowered herself to the ground, ignoring the dirt. She gently leaned into the car through the window she had just damaged."Ouch!" she gasped, as a sharp edge of glass cut into her skin."Take it easy," I said, and felt bad that I was only standing there watching.Lisa stretched her arm blindly, her fingers scraping against the dashboard before finding Zane's shoulder.I heard Zane cry out from inside."Did that help?" I called."No," he gasped. "It made it worse," he mumbled."I can't reach the buckle!" Lisa gasped, her shoulder wedged against the doorframe.She slid deeper inside, her fingers finally brushing the hard plastic near his hip. She pressed the release button with her thumb, but it wouldn't budge. The dashboard had crushed forward and pinned Zane at an angle, jamming the seatbelt tight."Stop," Zane groaned. Lisa pulling on the belt was making it worse. "It's stuck. Just leave it."Lisa pulled her arm back out, panting, and looked at her hand with blood streaking from

    "I should have listened to Aldwin and gone straight to the house.” I blabbered, finally finding my phone from beneath the tangled sheets. Ray had left me countless missed calls and messages. “We should get going already, Mr Aldwin will be there soon,” Ray said, pushing the bedroom door ajar. “

    “Don't bother waiting, I'll let you know when you can come pick me up,” I said to Ray as he dropped me off at my apartment “Don't take too long. You should get ready before the guests begin to arrive,” Ray replied. I wasn't up for any more talks. I gave a nod and left. Ray stood for a while,

    Ray led me towards the far edge of the office, while Aldwin watched silently from his desk. As Ray tapped a thumbprint scanner, circled in a faint blue glow on the stainless coating, the wall split open before us. I gasped out of shock, not expecting that. We stepped onto the platform. Ray looked b

    “Come have a seat, my lawyer will be joining us shortly,” Aldwin said, gesturing towards a sitting area decorated with plush leather seating.“Thank you,” I replied as I sat down. He sat beside me. “Did you go through the document thoroughly?” He asked, his gaze held mine.Why was he sitting this
