(Evening)Back at Mello's ward, Ana and Kelan sat in silence, their eyes never straying far from Mello's pale face.The air was thick with tension and unspoken feelings.Mello just kept smiling weakly at them both, his hand entangled with Ana's.Just then, one of the doctors returned to Mello's room, his footsteps echoing softly against the tiled floor. Ana and Kelan got up and walked over to him in anxiety.The doctor stopped with a smile then sighed, the weight of his job telling on his face Kelan's jaw clenched, his fists balling at his sides as he braced himself for the worst.The smile on the doctor's face returned as she spoke." He's fine now, we successfully removed the toxins from his body but his body is still weak. He might not be able to make much movements but do not be worried about it. It is just one of the side effects of the treatments, he will be up in a few days. He just needs to rest and he can be discharged now..."Ana looked back at Mello and they shared a smi

( that same night )somewhere, in a five star bar, Deya leaned against the polished table bar, her fingers tracing invisible patterns on the surface of her glass. Her slender frame seemed almost fragile beneath the weight of her emotions, yet there was a certain strength in the way she held herself, a mask that belied her delicate appearance.The bar buzzed with activity around her, the low hum of conversation mingling with the clinking of glasses and the soft strains of music drifting from the speakers above. But to Deya, it all seemed distant, as if she were observing the scene from behind a thick pane of glass, separate and detached from the world around her.She took a sip of her drink, the burn of alcohol momentarily distracting her from the ache in her chest. It was a futile attempt to numb the pain, to drown out the voices that echoed in her mind, reminding her of he predicament She has set out of her home with the intent of going to the President's address but her fears stop

(The same morning)The soft rays of morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow across the serene living room of Declanport estate. Ana sat curled up on the plush sofa, lost in thought as she sipped her steaming cup of coffee, the aroma of freshly brewed beans enveloping her in a comforting embrace, the maids moving all round her, doing their various chores.The doctor that came the last night, assured her that Mello would be up any minute from now and the disappointment filled her face as she she checked on him countless times waiting till she grew tired of it.Behind her, Mello descended the stairs, his movements slow and deliberate as he made his way towards the living room. Despite his recent illness, a spark of mischief danced in his eyes, his resolve unwavering as he prepared to surprise Ana.He had watched her check on him numerous times that morning and pretended not to know with eyes closed.As he reached the bottom of the stairs, Mello paused for a mom

When she couldn't take the shame anymore, Sarah walked down to confront him.She stopped in before him, stealing his attention.A forced smile stretched across her face." Wow, Mello, I'm sure you must be so proud of yourself" her voice failing to conceal her anger." Of course, hahaha. Or is there a reason I shouldn't be?" Mello asked and walked past her." Don't think you won this time, Mello. I'll be back for you."" Do your best, Sarah. I can't wait to see your dirty little tricks" Mello said, causing Kelan and Ana who stood behind to smile.She watched in disgust as he walked past.Something was clearly different about him. He doesn't seem scared or afraid of anything and his confidence excluded in his every step.** Mello walked slowly in the hallway as his guards trailed behind him, his thoughts rumbling inside of him amidst the silence.Ana and Kelan were also behind him.Few people stopped to greet him as he moved past but he barely noticed as his mind was elsewhere.He took

" it's detective Jeremy speaking and there's something I'll need you to see."the voice aired over the phone.Mello's brows furrowed." Where are you at the moment?" Mello asked, sensing the urgency in his voice." At your residence in Dally valley. It is very important, are you available?"the voice came again.Mello turned to Ana and nodded." I'll be there in a minute" he said and dropped the call.Mello turned to Ana whose face was etched with sadness when she realized he was leaving " I'll be back soon, I'll call Reece to join you here" he said and got up, exiting the room He got out and entered his limousine." Take me to my place at Dally Valley " he said to the driver who only nodded and drove out.As Mello's limousine glided through the streets toward his destination.Mello placed a call to Kelan.The call rang for some minutes before disconnecting which made Mello concerned."It's the first time Kelan didn't pick his call, was something wrong?" Mello muttered to himself, his
