The hospital ward was dimly lit as the only source of light was the lamp beside the bed. The ward was like any other hospital ward just extravagant.Xander lay on the bed unconscious and he had bandage wrapped around his left arm and right leg. He was in this position since his minor surgery an hour ago. The night breeze from the open window gently brushed past his skin and he slowly felt his arms and legs, including the pain that follows.He groaned and squeezed fingers into a weak fist as he tried to feel his body. The muscles on his arm ached so he released the fist and tried moving his legs. His legs felt more heavier than usual so he gave up and tried opening his eyes. It felt like a task to keeping his eyelids from closing but was glad that room was dimly lit as he slowly adjusted to it.This was strange to him as he had never been in a place like this. The beeping of the heart monitor caught his attention and was confused for a minute as he realized it was connected to him.He
"Alexander! Xander! Where are you?" He heard a worried young voice call his name. He blinked his eyes open and felt one of his was too heavy to open."I'm down here stop screaming" he respond to the voice."Oh my god, Xander" the voice was from a teenage boy same age like him. The looked down at him from the third floor balcony of the building he sat across. The boy disappeared into the shadows and Xander guessed he was coming down.Xander took that moment to stand with the aid of the walls. A sharp pain shot through his foot, he looked down to see that he step on a broken glass."Shit" he cussed.He looked at his reflection on the broken glass and noticed he was younger. One of his eyes was so swollen that it had to stay close while the other one function."Xander!" the worried voice called and ran to him, divertinf his attention from his reflection. The boy was around fifteen but was a inch taller than him since he was also fifteen. Both of their clothes were worn out and they looke
"They aren't normal thugs" Hunter quickly replied. He stepped into the highway and almost got hit by a car."Hunter! Have you lost your mind!" Xander screamed from the pedestrian road but his assistant ignored him. Instead he pulled out the gut and pointed it to the driver."Get down, if you don't want to die" the frightened owener immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. He was replaced by Hunter who started the engine but didn't drive.Xander saw the door they just came through open and he ran into the car Hunter had stolen still holding his injured arm. "Come to my office for compensation" the chairman said to the frightened driver and threw his business card out the window.Hunter zoomed off, driving recklessly and changing lane randomly as the men stole a car to follow after them."How is your arm?" Hunter asked, eyes still on the road."It was just a graze, nothing I can't handle" Xander said and chuckled to hid the fact he was scared to death.If it were thr
Xander woke up to his daughter beside him, she curled up next to him with an amount of his shirt squeezed loosely in her fist. He stood up quietly and noiselessly did his morning routine without waking her up. He kissed her on the cheek before he left the room, leaving the door slight open.He saw Randy preparing breakfast and Trente playing some game on his phone. It wasn't long Hunter got in and accepted Randy's offer on eating breakfast."Is she awake?" Trente asked when he finished a round in his game."She is still asleep, let her sleep till 10 before waking her up, Randy could you wash her up?" He said to the only woman in their mist. Hunter noticed her tensed up."Uhm, I don't know how to and I'm not good with kids" Randy said hoping they didn't noticed her tense up."I would do it, I'm good with children, Randy can assist me" Trente equipped.It was a Saturday so Xander allowed it. He made a mental note to hire a nanny for the weekends since he would take care of her during th
Hermia layed quietly on her bed while her husband was as sleep beside her. It has been two days since she was released from police custody and a day since her honeymoon began.She should be happy that all the storms was over and she was happily married to someone who can cater for her, her family and company. She wasn't all she felt was anger and defeat. Their honeymoon did nothing to distract her from the fact Xander have her daughter and as a partner that might become his wife one day.She wanted her daughter back and for him to suffer in loneliness but she she is powerless compare to him.Her phone chimed from where plugged it beside her. She turned the phone and saw a message from a private number.Hello, it reads.She sighed and dropped her phone. Who could be messaging her around one in the morning.Her phone chimed again and curiousity drove her to check it.Don't ignore me I know you are still awake.Fear gripped her heart and she left the bed from the bathroom, careful not to
Maybe a few minutes is the highest.His gaze was cut short as the figure he was staring at literally rolled into the water."One, two, three" he counted as he waited for Randy to surface but the pool water was still.Panicking, he rushed down the stairs and took the detour through the backyard. The few seconds it took for him to reach the backyard felt like a tormenting hell. For once he hated that his house was huge. Finally, he reached the backyard and ran to the swimming pool hoping to see a female figure surface.There was still no show so he pulled off his shirt, not caring where it landed and jumped into the water. He saw Randy clutching her kneel under the water. He thought she was having a cramp on her leg and was drowning because of it. As this thought went through his mind, the arms of fear ran down his spine.Another lost, he thought.He hurriedly brought out of the pool and played her on the ground to perform CPR. He started with mouth to mouth, blowing air into her mouth
Hunter felt the bed he was laying on was softer than the one he had laid on in the recent years. He rolled on his side and dipped his nose further into the pillow. It smelt nice like his boss clothes.His eyes immediately shot open and he sat up. He looked around he really was in his boss house and in his room. He scratched his neck to recall what happened the previous day and how it end."Nonsense, I want to sleep" his last words to his boss echoed in his head and he groaned and pulled on his hair."This is why I don't drink" he muttered to himself."You are awake" he heard Xander say and slowly turned to the direction.Xander was slightly sitting on his study table in a bathrobe and white towel over his head."I'm sorry" Hunter said and quickly got of the bed."You should be stupid, did your mother not teach you not to take things from strangers" Xander said and Hunter shook his head, causing Xander to raise an eyebrow.He wanted to ask something but he was interrupted."Hot Choco i
Few minutes ago."Today marks the new era of our great company.. ""Excuse me, have some water it's good for the health" a waiter said to Hunter giving him a glass of water."Thanks" he said and brought it to his lips. He subtly sniffed it and as suspected it smelt funny. He noticed the waiter that gave him the water was still close by so he had to act like he didn't notice they spike is water or he blow his naive cover.He drank the water in one gulp and waited for it set in."I would take the cup" the waiter said again taking the cup from his hand as Hunter forcefully smile."One, two, three" at that moment the water started having it's effect.He looked for the bathroom as his sight began to blur and head became dizzy. He rested his tired body on the wall as two minutes walk seemed like an hour long.Fortunately, he found the bathroom and stumble to the sink. He opened the facet and splashed water in his face. He stated at himself in the mirror and subtly looked down and noticed a
"Xander! Run!" a figure called from the burning building. Xander couldn't see the figure clearly in the smoke. All he knew was the figure was talking to him from a burning building window."No! I'm not leaving without you" Xander shouted back"But, I'm sticked, I can't go with you""I'm still not leaving without..." At that moment, the building came down, knocking Xander down with its debris."Xander!"Xander's eyes shut open, he was sitting behind his desk in his large office with his forehead covered in sweat."Nightmare?" he turned to the direction of the voice. It was Hunter, he looked closer and saw that he held Hunter's wrist tightly. He released the wrist in an instant as if it was on fire."I'm sorry, I wanted to wake up but you were muttering some words, when I got closer you squeeze my hand, you have a strong grip" he explained and joked at the end sensing his discomfort."Oh, sorry" Xander apologized"No worries, it's time to leave for the auction"***The huge hall was dec
"I would drop all charges so you can take your wife and enjoy the remaining of your honeymoon" Xander said and left with Emily in his arms. Randy looked at Hermia with pith as she broke down into tears. She looked like a mother whose child was pried from her. "Are you coming?" Xander asked when he got to the entrance and his girlfriend wasn't behind him. "I'm coming!" Randy called and followed after him. They went to the car with was in the police drive in. Xander took the backseat and let Randy drive. He used this time to carefully check for any difference or scar on her. There wasn't any scar but she looked thinner. Emily wrapped her hand around her father's finger as a child's way to tell her dad that she was okay. He didn't notice time flew by until Randy parked into his house drive in. "We are home" Randy said and unbuckled her seat belt. "Thanks" Xander said and did the same before he carried his daughter and alighted the car. Randy gave him a soft smile as she left the
