" 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

--------------Los Angeles, California------------------------ Next day.SophiaI crawled myself to the edge of the wall in the shower for about two hours, thinking about how I could've saved Neill. The warm water lingered round my fair bare skin making me feel at least a little bit better. Yesterday was a heart-breaking day for the whole family. The pain we felt couldn't be measured or compared to anything.We lost a brother, a son and a lover. Neill Olyster was gone for good. He was never going to smile gracefully at us again, he was never going to take beautiful photos again. He was never going to scold and protect me again. It hurt a lot. I never ever thought I was going to go through anything like this anytime soon but here I was.I walked out of the bathroom and tied a pink towel around my chest and another one on my hair. I looked at my slim figure in the mirror and images of Neill came flashing back into my memory. I would've go

------------- Los Angeles, California.-------------------- Lily's Hospital(next morning)I opened my eyes again as I looked around my room. It wasn't the one I was in yesterday. It was more furnished. There were couches and a table with magazines and some other pretty flowers. It was all more beautiful and much more comfortable.Yesterday was the best and worst day of my life. Yeah I was very happy I got my voice back, that I could finally say words out loud now. It had been a long dream of mine and It had finally come true. The happiness I was feeling couldn't be expressed in any way.The Coma I fell into made me remember my past, who I truly was, my true Identity that GrandPa hid from me, for a reason I didn't know of, a reason I couldn't bring myself to try and understand. Why would he possibly hide that I wasn't his real granddaughter and that I and Khalid aren't supposed to be in this sit

------------ Los Angeles, California------------------ Same morning( Lily’s hospital)" Faryah, we made you hot chicken soup with some veggies" Sophia called immediately she walked into my room with me behind her. I couldn't take my eyes off Faryah, she was so beautiful even though she had lost some weight that was still keeping her alive. She had no flesh in her. Mother gave me the recipe for her chicken soup, and I made it for her. There was something in it that made it different from other chicken soups out there. She was going to come over to see Faryah later. Brandon and GrandPa were still handling the office, I was going there later too. I missed work for the first time. Pamela wanted to keep Faryah company, it was awkward but we could manage." Well hey, Khalid's the one that actually made everything for you this morning, he couldn't stop talking about you" Sophia blurted as I smacked her head w
