The sun rays reflecting from outside the window made Dante shut his eyes again the moment he opened it, notwithstanding he opened it again. The softness of the mattress, the expensive blue silk curtains, the scent and humidity of the room blended well together that he figured it was probably a dream. With his elbow on the bed, he pushed himself up on the bed, to see himself in an unknown room realizing it wasn’t a dream.“What happening?” he asked loudly to himselfHe closed his eyes and remembered the man on suit calling him the heir to some sort of consortium and showing him the exact tattoo on his chest as a symbol. Immediately a memory came back to Dante…“I pledge my loyalty to the king, queen, bishop, knight and devotion to the pawns” little Dante muttered in front of a man that was holding a tattoo machine, it happened to be the happiest day of little Dante’s life.“Dante you are hereby sworn as the rook, to protect the king, the queen and their kingdom” the man drew the tatt
Howard still reminded silent looking at Dante who on the other hand was ignorant of how great his family is. It was a shame Dante had no memory or whatsoever that could help him understand why returning as the true heir to take his father’s position as a king was very important.“You keep this house. It was bought today with your name” Howard finally broke the silent between them as handed Dante back his phone “You were credited with Nine hundred million dollars earlier from your family consortium but in disguise is a fake alert from a lottery game just incase the bank tries to investigate"Dante was shocked, he wanted to ask how they did that, then he remembered the mafia where the ones involved in laundering money and investment schemes. “Ever since your father’s death, the Willomandra consortium, the chess Mob is falling apart…” Howard voice trailed, he didn’t just want to dish all the information to Dante, he didn’t want to tell him that his mother was their next target and immed
Dante was nervous looking down at the little girl who was in so much pains and losing a lot of her blood, although he had succeeded in stoping the open wound from bleeding profusely, the next thing he needed to do was to remove the iron which intact was the most painful part."This might hurt, but I want you to know that it takes only seven minutes for an object that passed through your stomach to burst the spleen and eventually kill""Are you a doctor?" The girl asked tiredly "No""Then how come?" the girl asked with the atom of strength left in her "Kid, I can't tell how I know that" Dante responded, hoping he doesn’t scare her from believing that he could the situation, he was shocked about what he said himself, he hadn't read anything about it, could it be true that he had medical skills before the amnesia.The onlookers that were initially skeptical of Dante abilities, watched in surprise as Dante skillfully removed the sharp iron from Geraldine's stomach slowly, making her org
Nurse Judy looked down on her clipboard and penned down something, while at it, an old woman ran into the hospital panicking and screaming “They said she was brought here!” She shouted loudly and panicking even more while other nurses tried to talk to her, tears rolled down the woman eyes. “Where is Geraldine, my grand daughter, she is dead…”“That old woman could die of a heart attack now thinking her granddaughter is dead, she doesn’t know a handsome man saved her life” the nurse said in a flirty tone looking straight at Dante eyes, he on the other hand was not composed to say anything but only smiled shyly, avoiding eye contact by looking at the name embroidered in her cloth. She walked away turning back time to time to blush at Dante.Dante watched her back, he admired her hair and her smile, she met with Geraldine’s Grandmother and tried to calm the old woman down, then she took her to meet Geraldine in the emergency room.As he stood there with his leg still in bad shape, he
“Ellie, you would regret soon” With almost teary eyes Dante turned around, everybody watched him limped out of the room, some with pity others with disdain.As Dante left, he thought Audrey his wife would follow after him but she didn’t, she choose her family over him. When he got to the hallway tears rolled down his eyes and he quickly cleaned it off. “I am rich I shouldn’t let all these things get to me” he whispered to himself, but still he didn’t toughen up, tears rolled from his eyes again. It was a moment of remembrance of every humiliations he had gone through.Still in the hospital a delivery man brought a box filled with chocolate treats, a wine and fresh flowers.“A delivery for Nurse Judy” he told the receptionist“Hold on a minute” she made a phone call and the next thing nurse Judy was at the reception.“I didn’t order this” Judy said “Yes ma’am. It has been paid for, you only have to receive it”“From who?”“The customer stayed anonymous, but we were asked to write a n
Leana was looking down at the huge sum of money in the envelope, she couldn’t help but rethink how Jean had worked so many jobs when he was alive just so he could put food on their table “That reminds me, before he died, he was working tirelessly on something, but I guess he never got the chance to finish it” Leana said bringing out something from her pocket “It’s in this flash drive. It’s about a club or something. He told me that he wanted to open a club of his own”When Dante heard what she said, he knew it was about ghost, ever since Jean lost his girlfriend to ghost, he was hellbent at making him pay for what he did. “I wonder what he would have named the club” Dante joked and Leana smiled a bit****At Dante’s new home, he sat at the dining table looking at the flash drive. He had no idea what he was going to do with it, whatever was stored inside is between Jean and ghost. Ghost haven’t wrong Dante in the past, the first time was when he told his bouncer to beat Dante up, and
Dante was still staring down at the credit alert of the money Audrey just sent to him when Yara call came in, she told him that she was at the reception downstairs. Dante left the hotel room to meet her, when they met, they hugged. “Good to see you” Yara smiled to Dante “And you too” Dante smiled back at her “Why are you limping?” “Injury from the fire accident, told you I almost died?” Dante said and Yara laughed Yara drove her car so she could talk to Dante privately “Have you and the detective found out who the cop that got the call before the heist is?” Dante asked remembering the recorded call she played for him the last time they met. “Not a chance, the cops are good in clearing their tracks” Yara replied “How was the funeral” Yara asked navigating into an empty street “Jean don’t deserve to die” Dante replied, the tattoo man came back to his memory and Dante decided to finally tell Yara about the man with the wrist tattoo, about Howard, about the house, the money in hi
In the conference room, Audrey was staring blankly at the men wearing expensive suits, her mind were trailing to different thoughts that she couldn’t concentrate fully.How could Dante go ahead and do such a thing to her, he didn’t at least wait till the divorce was finalized before he could start following other women.“Ma’am? You have been saying ‘so’ ever since, did you bring us here to joke? Our time is money” one of the men asked impatiently “No, no sorry I… was saying…” Audrey voice trailed off when she turned to the projector, she couldn’t remember where she left off or what she was even saying in the first place, the only thought that kept flooding her mind was Dante, was she not good enough for him? Even when her family humiliated him, she was there for him, the nausea felling even got worst.“The prototype building design are much similar to-” “You have repeated that line many times” another man got up from his chair approachi
