As he approached Mello's bedside, he found Ana seated beside him, her face lined with dried up tears.Taking a seat beside her, Kelan glanced at the monitors, the rhythmic beeping providing a strange sort of comfort in the uncomfortable situation. He reached out and gently placed his hand on Ana's hand and she looked his way." It'll be fine, I promise " he assured her but her blank expression did nothing to assure his doubts and he slowly withdrew his hand.How had it come to this? Just days ago, he had been a trusted advisor, something he had been doing for years. Now, he stood accused of a crime he didn't commit.But Kelan was no stranger to adversity. He had clawed his way to the top from nothing, navigating the dangerous waters of politics with a skill and cunning that few could match. But Kelan was not o

(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

And who could have orchestrated such a heinous act?As the questions swirled in his mind, Jeremy turned to Ana, his eyes searching her face for answers."Do you have any idea who could have done this? Any adversary who would seek to harm your brother?"Ana shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes. " Mello has many enemies, Detective.Rivals, bussiness competitors... even within his own board.

( 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 next day)Kelan's Residence.5:37amAs the dim light of the early morning sunlight filtered into his apartment, Kelan selected his wear for the day – a crisp white shirt, neatly pressed trousers, and a dark jacket to ward off the morning chill. He dressed quickly, the fabric of his clothes draping smoothly over his skin as he pulled them on. A glance in the mirror confirmed that he looked presentable, even though there was little time for such now.Outside, the city was still and quiet, its streets empty save for the occasional stray cat or early riser.Today was the day he would finally meet his secret informant at the sea port and determination spread across his face.He had left Ana's place the previous evening, after receiving a cryptic call from his contacts for the meeting. And since Mello had unattended business he had to help out with, he used that an excuse to as the reason for his sudden departure, saying he wanted to round a few of them up . Immediately he told her,

(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

Sir Chen stood from his seat in surprise.Mello looked at Sarah who stood where his seat was located and smiled. He had the look of a man who had been through hell and survived.He went further and picked another chair instead and the gesture spread a fresh wave of shock through them again." Mello, we heard you were in coma"Sir Chen asked, his face still reeling in the shock." How can you abandon your board for days, we thought you were dying."

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.
