Christopher Newton sat on his office chair with his face buried in his palms.
This was absolutely not how he thought everything would be going one year later.Ever since the assasination of his father by those unknown culprits, it seemed like his entire world had been turned upside down.Culprits whose identities, he still did not know.This ached him in his heart more than he had ever thought possible.He had hoped that he would have been able to uncover their identities by now, but they were like ghosts... invisible to everyone and everything.It seemed like everything that could have gone wrong had ended up going wrong, and now he was losing everything he thought he'd have by now.After the destruction of the Phillips security building, Christopher had seen the perfect chance to increase his power, and the power of his entire family by essentially buying out the Phillips family.However, due to Eric Phillips stubb"Well well well, if it isn't crippled Mia" said Raymond as he slowly approached Mia's table.Dean turned to stare at the man in anger, not appreciating how he had just spoken to his wife."What the hell do you want Raymond?" asked Mia, annoyed, while also trying to not escalate the conversation."What's the matter Mia?, I mean you no harm... I'm just here to congratulate you on getting your legs back, I mean when I heard it had happened I couldn't believe my ears, but I guess now that I see it... my eyes do not deceive me" replied Raymond, his voice maintained a mocking tone throughout his reply."Well thanks a lot Raymond, you've seen me... I've got my legs back, so please leave me alone" pleaded Mia, as she desperately tried to get the man away from her.However, her attempts proved futile, as Raymond wouldn't let up.Chuckling lightly, Raymond said, "Even after everything your family has done, you still end up here, at the cor
Dean awoke at the Hamilton family residence.Neither he nor Mia had gotten any real amount of sleep, as the entire family was completely freaking out over what had happened to them last night.What's worse, their panic became even greater when they saw Mia return to the house without Dean, in a car riddled with bullet holes.Dean couldn't help but stare at the recording box Richard had sent to him several days earlier.The box had contained an emergency message from his father, a message for his two sons, informing them of all the events that were transpiring between the Bradson family, and the other members of the four heavenly kings of Reville.Richard had gotten the box through his years of investigating the Dean of their family, and it was the key to how he had acquired all the information he told Dean about.Dean knew that the danger hadn't passed from last night, he could feel it in his gut.However, after everything th
Both Dean and Richard stood outside of the Phillips family mansion, neither man saying a word to each other for several minutes.At long last, Christopher Newton, the main man responsible for everything that had happened to him and his family, was finally dead.However, he didn't feel fulfilled, not quite yet... because his revenge was not yet complete."The Hudson's" Dean finally said, as Richard turned to look at him."What?" asked Richard, not exactly sure what Dean was trying to say."The Hudson's are the last piece of this puzzle, they're the last of the four heavenly kings of Reville, responsible for the death of our mother... for the death of our family" said Dean.Richard sighed, the Hudson's were an enigma, even to a detective such as himself.They ran the Hudson petroleum company, an oil drilling and processing company that owned many refineries, plants and facilities, with the largest one being located right
Tapping his feet on the floor, a lone dark-haired man stood in Reville Airport as his phone rang in his pocket, he pulled it out and fixed it to his ear.“So, did you find her?”“Yes boss we did, I have compiled a full report of our investigation for you and will be sending it to your device.”The dark-haired man removed the phone from his ear and looked at the screen, the phone buzzed as his device received a new file.He opened it and began to read.As he read through the file, the grip on his phone tightened.Indeed, they had found her. Mia Hamilton was the girl who saved his life all those years ago.Unfortunately, on her way back from the hospital that he was admitted, she was hit by a drunk driver moving at several miles an hour. Although she survived the accident, she was paralyzed from the waist down.Upon reading this, the man's expression darkened. He couldn't believe she had suffered such a cruel fate.This man was Dean Bradson.15 years ago, Dean would witness his mother's
Timothy Clarkson stepped in front of the line of young men with a smile on his face.All eyes were on him, attempting to analyze him.Who was this unremarkable man that had just won the hand of Mia Hamilton, they wondered.Mia remained at the corner of the hall room, glancing at the man who had just won her hand in marriage.He was a tall man, with dark hair, wearing a black suit. He was very conventionally handsome and a lot younger than Mia expected.Mia was frankly glad it was him and not an unattractive older man.But this also made Mia feel quite uncomfortable, she felt that in her current state she didn't deserve a man as conventionally attractive as Timothy.“MIA” beckoned her mother Sophia Hamilton“Don't be rude Mia, get out of this corner and go meet your new husband to be” she said.At this point, the other suitors had left the hall room, and Timothy looked on as Mia slowly rolled her wheelchair towards him.Her fate had already been sealed, she thought.It happened so fast,
Mia wakes up and sees Dean sitting beside her bed.Behind him was a young woman in a maid outfit.“Good morning Mia, did you sleep well?” He asked, caressing her hair.Mia nodded.“This here is Beatrice” said Dean, pointing to the woman behind him, “She's here to help take care of you and help you get ready”“Ready?” Asked Mia, a little confused, “for what?”“I want us to go to the Department of civil affairs today, so we can register our marriage” said Dean.“Oh” said Mia, lowering her head.Dean sensed her reluctance, which he understood.“You don't seem very pleased with this, if you don't want to, we could…”“NO!” Yelled Mia, panicking.“I want to” she said softly.Dean took her hand and started caressing it softly“Do you think we're moving too fast?” he asked gently.Mia shook her head, Dean had been so nice to her, so she didn't want to risk offending him.She did think they were moving a little fast, but still, Dean was better than any man she had ever known, so if he wanted to
The mood as Dean and Mia drove back to the golden estate was a gloom one.Dean had met a lot of scummy and awful people throughout his career, but very few of them would treat their own daughter with such contempt.Mia hadn't said a single word since they came out of her father's office.Dean wanted to know what her father meant when he said that her current predicament was her fault.“What did he mean by that?” asked Dean gently“Who?” asked Mia“Your father, when he said your current predicament was your fault, what did he mean by that?”“Please Timothy, I'm not…. I'm not ready to talk about it yet”.Dean, fully understanding that she was still shaken by the events that occurred with her father earlier, did not want to bring such painful memories back to her.But Dean had promised her that he would be a shoulder for her to lean on, that he would take away her pain.And he was determined to ensure that he fixed the ultimate wrong he had dealt her.Mia would walk again.When they retur
“15 years ago”, Mia began, “My parents were desperately trying to get the Hamilton family closer to the Warrington family”.Dean's eyebrows arched upwards. The Warrington family was one of the most powerful families in Reville, in fact they were part of the quartet known as the “Four heavenly kings”, representing the four most powerful families that basically controlled the city of Reville.And although the Warrington's were the weakest of the four, they were still incredibly powerful and commanded more influence than most could imagine.“They wanted to introduce me to their eldest son, Raymond, hoping that a relationship would form between us which would open the gates to an alliance between our two families" said Mia, still holding on to Dean.“But back then, I was a strong-headed kid… I was also 10 years old, I didn't understand family ties, politics, alliances, cooperations…. I didn't understand anything”.Mia paused and looked up to see Dean staring at her attentively.“However,
