Viktor Grey felt a heavy knot of worry in his chest as he stepped into the sterile, fluorescent-lit hospital room where his daughter Elina lay, frail and weak in a patient’s uniform, beneath white sheets. She had been in a car accident, and he was desperate to see her, but what he encountered was not the warm welcome he had hoped for.The machines around her beeped rhythmically, a constant reminder of her fragile state. Viktor had barely seen her since the accident that had left her in this condition, and guilt gnawed at him. He couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed even though his absence was justified where he had to attend to his other daughter, Mia.Elina's face, usually so gentle and caring, contorted with anger. Her eyes once filled with warmth and love, were now clouded with jealousy, as she spotted her father. "Where were you, Dad? You're always with Mia, and now you show up here?!" Her voice trembled with a mixture of pain, malice and resentment. Mia, his other daughter from a p

"Boss, have you heard the news?" Marv asked Oliver who frowned in response. Lydia stood there as still as Ice and watched all of Oliver's reactions."What news?" Oliver asked Marv."It's about your secretary, sir..she was murdered last night in her house," Marv told Oliver who quickly jerked up from his seat. Lydia pretended to be startled, and and she grabbed her files and tighter."How did this happen? Was she in any brawl with someone? How did she get herself Killed?" Oliver asked Marv who exhaled."I do not know boss, but I have our people working on it right away. We will come up with answers soon." He told Oliver before he hung up. Oliver sighed, and clenched his fist. He had so many questions in his mind. What happened? Betty was one of the most peaceful people he knew. There was no way she could get herself Killed just like that. Oliver suspected a murder. It had to be."Forgive me sir, but is everything alright?" Lydia asked as she adjusted her large glasses. Oliver sighed."

"You know, I should have you killed for the act of stupidity, whoever you are." Viktor Grey added as he slowly descended. Lydia could feel her breath getting raspier as he approached, but it was not because of fear, it was because of anger, a terrible ien that had taken over her."Who are you?" He asked her as they stood face to face. Viktor Grey could see the fierceness in Lydia's eyes. He knew that she was not just some simple helpless girl."You know who I am, Viktor Grey. You just need to look more carefully," she added and gazed at him. Viktor Grey exhaled and chuckled."Am I supposed to know who you are?" He asked her again and she smiled."Yes, you do, considering that your life, at this very moment is in my hands. So, you need to search through that head of yours and come up with something," she added and watched him closely. Viktor Grey exhaled. He was starting to get irritated by her attitude. How dare she speak to him that way?"Are you another one of my bastards then? A lo

Mia moaned when Oliver rolled to the side to answer the phone call he has getting. The rains kept pouring down, and it had been a night that they would remember for a very long time to come. Oliver checked to see who it was and found Marv's name on the screen. "Marv," Oliver said. The sleep in his eyes had slowly disappeared. Oliver was always attentive, and that fact made it difficult for him to sleep sometimes. But with Mia by his side, he rested very well."I got some development, boss. And you might want to hear them" Marv said to Oliver as he walked towards the window. He looked outside. The night rain could not be seen shattering the ornamental tress and shaking rooftops."What do you have?" Oliver asked Marv."So, I did a little research on Lydia Amira. I checked footage from your company to make sure facial recognition was accurate. It was very difficult, but I managed to find something. She forged her documents. Her real name is Lydia Arima, the daughter of a disgraced psych
