----------------( Same day) Lily Hospital.
" Get out of here" I growled at him as the security ran to us. I watched as he struggled to get up and clean his bloody face. " I only wanted to sort things out with you two, please listen to me" He begged as he tried to move closer to us. I hid mother behind me and growled at him again. " Just leave" the security came towards us and David signalled that it was okay. " I'll see you again Zainab" He said as he turned to go. " Don't even think about it" I shot as he walked out. " Mother are you okay?, did he hurt you?" I asked as I scanned through mothers body for scars or bruises. She hid them perfectly back in Turkey. " I'm fine Son, you didn't need to hurt him" She said as she looked at my face for bruises. " he needed to be beaten, we should file a case against him for harassment" I said as I cupped her pretty face. " that’s
----------------Los Angeles, California ---------------------- Olyster residence( same night) I staggered as I walked into the mansion, I was broken. I needed Pamela by my side. She was the only one i could think of right now. I pushed the door open and walked to the living room, throwing myself on the couch. She was throwing away all the years we spent together, she was throwing the memories and promises all away. As if it meant nothing to her. It was my fault for lying, but it wasn't a valid reason for her to break up with me. It was not a valid reason for her to throw everything away. My eyes were red from all the tears that poured out of them. I was so hurt. " Khalid?" That was Neill. My nice step brother. His voice had a touch of class, easy to recognise anywhere. " Sup" I answered, not even trying to look at him. I heard him sit beside me. " What's up dude?, Fa
---------------Los Angeles, California -------------------------Lily's hospital ( Same night) I couldn't let her die. I felt the tears profusely escaping my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. They needed to revive her, no matter what. I couldn't lose her, I couldn't. " Faryah!" Sophia screamed as she tried going back into her room. " Sophia stop" I said as I managed to hold her back. " She can't die Khalid" She cried as we watched the doctor try reviving her. We watched as a nurse rushed out from the room and came back almost after 5 minutes. The doctor finally gave us a thumbs up and I let out a deep sigh. They were injecting something into her again. Sophia was still crying. " I don't know what would've happened to me if we lost her, I would have forever blamed myself" She said as she cried into my hoodie. " It's okay, she's safe now" I consoled her as I patted her soft black hair. The
--------------------Los Angeles, California------------------------------ Olyster residence. ( same morning)" Son, how are you?" Mother asked immediately I and Sophia walked in. " I'm okay Mother" I answered as she checked my lips. " Mother he's okay, he just needs rest" Sophia said as she hugged her. " Yes, I'll stay with you, I'll call someone and ask them to fill in for me" She looked so worried. As if I fell off a cliff. " no need mother"" oh yes need, go take a bath and change and I'll get you breakfast, your grandfather and Brandon are taking care of things in the company, so you should stay at home" she added as we walked up the stairs. I nodded and followed her. "Mother, I'm going to have lunch with Ethan today, my classes finish by 5pm, when I'm done, I'll head over to Faryah" Sophia said. " How is she?" my heart sank as she asked us that. " She's still under observation " I managed to answer. " She'll
----------------- Los Angeles, California. ------------------------ Olyster textiles ( Three days later) Brandon " So what do you have for me?" I asked as I pulled a chair to seat in front of my PI. I had hired him to get me some information on Jake. The events happening around us made me more cautious which made me shift the new fabrics to Africa, Nigeria to be precise. No one knew about the changes I made, not even Father or Khalid and I was going to keep it that way. I had to tighten security at the house, at work and for my three children, Faryah, my wife, father and myself. " Good Afternoon sir" he answered, smiling at me. " Afternoon" I needed some water. " Sir, I didn't get much, but I managed to find these" He said as he passed a file over to me. " In there, you'll see that Mr Jake Gabriel actually has a Korean wife, she's the owner of Lee Modelling agency, her brother owns Jeong Suk textiles in Seoul " Tha
------------------ South Korea, Seoul. -------------------- Lee's modelling agency( next morning) " geunyeoneun eotteohge jabhil su isseosseubnikka? ( how could she have possibly been caught?)" we watched Miss Hae Soo rage as she threw glasses away. Our insider in Olyster textiles was caught last night in Koreatown, we were delivering to our customers and it happened, the FBI caught her and our customers. " ulineun danji geunyeo ttaemun-e baeg aideulgwa 1 eog dalleoleul illheossseubnida( we lost a hundred children and a hundred million fucking dollars just because of her)" she raged again. We were supposed to be delivering 20, and storing 80 in the warehouse but we were caught. We lost a lot of money due to this. Our customers were in the custody of the police and we knew they were going to talk, they were going to save themselves. And Daisy, we needed to get rid of her. " Heangbog!” she screamed, calling my attention. " eotteohge ileon il-i il-eo
-------------Los Angeles, California--------------------- Olyster residence(next morning)NeillI threw myself on the bed as I entered my room. I had a good night sleep, the couch in the hospital was pretty comfy, plus I also felt safe. The body guards and Police were effective.She looked so beautiful even though she was asleep. I felt like going into her room and telling her that I loved her. So much. I knew she was going to hear me, but the thought of hurting Sandra hurt me more. I needed to head to the studio to clear my mind off things. I had some models to shoot today. I hoped they weren't ugly. I got off my bed and headed to the bathroom. I freshened up, took out my fresh clothes and got ready. Today was going to be a long day. I wore my hoodie and took my phone and car keys from the bedside drawer and headed out. I took a closer look at my phone and saw a text from Sandra. I called her instead." Hey babe" I called into the pho
-------------Los Angeles, California.------------------ Lily's hospital( During the attack)Zainab" Hey!" I screamed as I found a female nurse and another male nurse in Faryah's room as they were about to flee. The police were behind me and the two nurses immediately took to their heels. I didn't mind them because I knew the police were going to catch up with them, I knew Faryah was in danger. I rushed into her room and found the nurses and body guards all with bullets in their respective bodies. Oh my goodness. I found Faryahs door wide open and found her room disorganised. Her respirator was out of her and so was catheter. They had basically dismantled her infusion pump. Only Allah could save Faryah now. For all I knew, she was 90% dead.Some nurses and doctors were already on their way. I tried fixing her respirator back into her mouth and that went well. " Zainab, we need you to leave, yo
------------San Francisco, California.------------------------ next morning.SophiaI tried adjusting my eyes to the brightness of the room. The reflection from the sun made everything look so bright. I tried moving my arms and legs but they were restricted. I was tied up to a chair, my whole body was tied up. I was so weak, and pale, I was so dehydrated and my mouth and lips were dry. My head hurt a lot. How was I even brought here?, the driver was actually Carlos, why wouldn't I be here. I looked around the room as I adjusted a strand of my hair with air as I blew towards it with my mouth, It was blocking my view. The room was darker on the insides, it was an uncompleted building, It was pretty big. There were some construction materials scattered everywhere. I looked around the building again and found another tied up figure across the room. It was a male figure."Hey" I tried yelling
