Ethan takes a deep breath and walked into the tall building. It was one of the various companies owned by his wife's family."My wife." The words rolled off his tongue bitterly as he entered the elevator. He had no idea what is wife would say when she sees him. He hoped he'd be able to leave the company unnoticed by her.Left to him, he wouldn't have dared visited the company but his brother in-law had asked him to bring a fruit parfait from the house.He clutched the paper bag in his hands when the elevator opened with a 'ding' sound. He lowered his head and hurriedly walked to his brother in-law's office, praying his wife wasn't anywhere around. He knocked on his brother in-law's door and paced around in fear when he got no response."What the heck are you doing here?" A chilling, all familiar voice asked behind him.Slowly, he turned around to meet blue piercing eyes glaring at him."I-I." He stuttered, loss on how to explain himself. Workers around them spoke in whispers, poi

As Ethan stood outside, lost in thought. Someone came to stand beside him waited patiently till he noticed them.Ethan pulled out of his thoughts and glanced at the person staring at him with a beautiful smile. Without talking, the person removed her baggy jacket and placed it over Ethan's ripped shirt."No.. no.. I can't take this." Ethan quickly declined, removing the jacket."Take it, it's the least I can do." The female smiled again. Ethan nods gratefully and welcomed the warmth the jacket brought. "My name is Ruby." The lady beamed, "You saved my grandfather earlier.""Oh... okay. ""Thank you very much, and if you need my help later don't hesitate to let me know. " She squeezed her card into his pocket.Her mind wondering why he was being treated poorly."What's your name?" Ruby asked.Ethan stared off at the sky as he replied, "Ethan. My name is Ethan."Ruby nods and disappears back into the hospital. Unknown to them, Isabel watched the entire exchange and was shaking

Ethan followed her meekly, like a dog with its tail between its legs. He wondered what kind of punishment she had in mind for him.The shiver that ran through him totally had nothing to do with the cold. When they entered the apartment, Ethan stood at the entrance, watching his wife warily and waiting for her outburst. "Should I run a warm bath for you?" He offered."No." Isabel snapped back, "I don't need your help.""Weren't you supposed to be at work?" Ethan pressed, shifting on foot to another."I took a break from work to assist you with Grandma Logan. I bet you weren't expecting me to catch you with your girlfriend. ""She is not my girlfriend ." Ethan mumbled, walking fully into the house when it seems like Isabel's outburst wasn't coming."Your girl toy then.""No.... She is not anything to me." Ethan clarified. "I'm surprised anyone wants to get acquainted with your sorry self.""I'll avoid her.""What did I tell you before about her?" Isabel swirled around to face her

They alighted the plane a little over four hours later. A Porsche was waiting for them at the airport when they arrived.Ethan caressed the car lovingly before entering. He was extremely nervous, he was going to finally meet his parents after what feels like years or forever."What are they like?" Ethan asked."Beautiful souls, kind, warm and good parents." Ethan nods.Drogo stops in a open field, it resembled a park."Come on." Drogo alighted the car, "Let's go meet Mr and Mrs Belinsky. "Ethan alighted and scanned his environment, looking for any sign of life or his parents. The place was silent instead. Drogo led the way and eventually stopped in front of two headstones. Ethan stared at the headstones, an unfamiliar emotion coursing through him, almost similar to rage."They are dead." He said matter of factly."Two days after you left. " Drogo explained, "They killed them too.""Where were you?" Ethan blurted out before he could stop himself. "Your father sent me on an er

Vanders and his crew had been searching the city for what felt like an eternity since that night, when they made the mistake of leavingthe Belinsky bly on the road. . They had scoured every corner of the city, from the dingy alleyways of the cultists to the uptown side. Their mission was simple, same as before. It's what they've been doing everyday for rhe past ten momths. Find the corpse of the Belinsky boy or anything to be sure he is dead.As they drove through the streets in their black sedan, Vander's phone rang. "Yeah?" he answered, "Okay, I've got it. We are doing the best we can, I will hire more men so we woul have the man power for the work."Vander returned his phone to his pockets, "that was boss." He addressed the crew, "we have just one week to come up with evidence else we would pay with our lives. Now, let's resume if you're not ready to be pronounced dead."The crew continued their search, on foot through the city, showing Belinsky boy picture around, asking quest
