"I think I've found it!" Victoria exclaimed, holding up a miniature bottle that contained a green fluid.

"It has got to be the antidote!" Victoria reckoned, holding out the bottle in front of her and staring at it intently.

"Are...you sure that it is?" Saint asked with a glint of hope in his eyes

Victoria didn't respond to him immediately. The look of elation on her face suddenly disappeared.

"What if it's not?" She blurted out.

"Give the bottle to me, Victoria." Saint demanded.

"Hold on, I've got make sure that it's the antidote. What if this is just another poison?" She asked, unsure of what to think.

"Just hand it to me, there's no time to think about what's not!" He said urgently.

Victoria's hands had begun to tremble as she held onto the bottle, refusing to give it up.

"Listen to me and give me that bottle....at least let me have a close look at it." Saint said to her in hopes that she would hand the bottle to him but she did not.

"Victoria... please, time is running out. We need to get out of here!" Saint continued to plead endlessly but Victoria kept staring at the bottle with bulged eyes.

"I don't think this is the antidote, Saint. Why would the antidote even be in here in the first place." Victoria replied slowly.

"Just hand it over to me, please." Saint begged again.

"I won't. This is not the antidote, if you drink this, it might worsen your pain or worse than that—you might die!" She let out in a fearful tone.

"Leave that to me to worry about and hand me that bottle." Saint Insisted. Time was running out on them and they needed to get out of here before Rawlings returned.

"Please just listen to me and hand that bottle to me." Saint let out. His voice had gotten weaker than it had been and he could feel his life slowly slipping out of him.

Even when he couldn't feel his fingers anymore, he wanted to drag himself across the floors to where Victoria stood, When all of a sudden, the handle of the door twisted downward.

Victoria shot her head in the direction of the door, clutching the bottle tightly, still unwilling to let go of it.

"Come on, hurry up and give the bottle to me before someone comes in!" Saint intoned outwardly, the palpitation of his heart rising at every minute.

"No Saint, I cannot give this to you. Just hold on, I'll find a way to take you to the hospital." Victoria said, backing away from the door and putting more distance between her and Saint.

"Shit!" Saint cursed under his breath, when the door began to shake vigorously.

"Hey, who is in there with you? Is that Victoria's voice I hear?!" Rawlings muffled shouts came from the other end.

"Open this door right away!" Rawlings ordered, pounding away at the door incessantly.

"What are we going to do now?!" Victoria asked tearfully.

Saint kept his head on the ground, putting his thoughts together. If he could just get his hands on that bottle and drink the liquid inside it, then he would be able to get Victoria out of harm's way.

"Go open the door for him." Saint said to her calmly.

"What the heck, are you insane? If he gets in here, he's going to kill us all!" Victoria exclaimed, flaring her arms in the air in a state of frenzy.

"Just do it." He tightened his jaw in anger and pain.

"Open the door for him, Victoria and stop being stubborn. If you're trying to save me, you can't do it this way."

"But I cannot open the door for him, we'll be dead by the time he comes in here." Victoria opposed.

Saint swallowed hard—he was in a hot mess and sweat had already broken out on his face, mirroring the intensity of the situation.

From outside, the both of them could already hear Rawlings barking out orders to some unknown people to have the door brought down.

"I want no remains of it left......make sure you break everything down!"

And in time, someone was already hammering down the door, sending particles of the door flying into the room.

Victoria screamed and scrambled away from where she stood but there was no where to escape.

"Get on your knees, Victoria!" Saint ordered her and for the first time, Victoria did as she was told and fell upon her knees, shivering like a leaf in winter.

Soon, the door had been broken down. Rawlings made his way hurriedly inside, a look of resentment resting on his face as he swept in the sight before him.

"How in the world did you get in here, Victoria!" Rawlings tried to sound calm with the anger burning inside of him.

"Please get up to your feet, I mean no harm." Rawlings begged but Victoria held her knees with the bottle in hand and remained in her folded form.

"Victoria, are you alright?" Rawlings asked when he noticed her shivering against the floor's surface with parts of the door surrounding her and Saint.

Rawlings helped her to her feet but Victoria pushed him to the side.

"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me!" She cried out.

"Gentlemen, please get lady Victoria out of here." Rawlings ordered the men standing behind him.

They did immediately as they were told but Victoria wouldn't make it easy for them.

"Let go of me!" She shrieked, trying to break free and in the process, the antidote fell from her palm and shattered onto the floor—the contents spilling over.

"No!!!" Rawlings and Saint both yelled out simultaneously.

Saint struggled to get to the spilled liquid but could not reach it.

"What have you done, Victoria. How did you find that?!" Rawlings asked all at once.

"Get her out of here!" Rawlings' voice was firmer.

Rawlings had not realised what was going on behind him when he felt a sharp pain on his head and suddenly blacked out.

    By the time Saint awoke from his deep slumber, the whole room was lit up by sunlight which meant, it was already the next morning. Saint could properly see the room that he was in. It had seemed as though he had been kept in a basement the night he had been brought here, but seeing it clearly for the first time, he realised that he was being kept in a proper room that either belonged to sir Rawlings or someone else. The room was in a hot mess but surprisingly, there was laundry neatly folded and kept on the bed. Saint struggled to get up to his feet but realised that he could not move his limbs. Much to his amazement, neither his legs nor hands were bound, yet he could not even raise a finger—only turning his head from side to side in agony. Laying helplessly on the floor sent frustration gushing through Saint. He clenched his jaw and struggled still to get up from the floor but all his efforts were futile. He could not grasp the reason he felt so weak and why his bones ached al

    The night air was crisp and cool as Saint walked along the quiet streets, his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat. The city lights flickered in the distance, but he wasn’t paying attention to them. His mind was elsewhere, replaying everything that had happened in the past few days. Victoria. Paige. The ambush. His jaw clenched as he exhaled sharply, shaking his head. The thoughts of him destroying the kin clan and what his uncle had warned him concerning it kept flowing back into his head. Before he could entertain the thought any further, his senses suddenly sharpened. Something was off. He halted mid-step, his ears picking up the slightest shuffle of movement behind him. Too late. A thick cloth was shoved over his face. The strong scent of chemicals invaded his nostrils as he struggled against the men holding him down. He lashed out, elbowing one in the ribs, but there were too many of them. Their grips were ironclad, dragging him backward into a van before he c

    The patron had to contain his anger and stormed out of the Zlate villa. All his efforts to get lady Erica to show him to where Saint was turned futile. But he didn't want to give up yet, for the sake of Jake's life—he couldn't give up. "I'm going to find Saint and make sure I bring him to you, Jake, no matter what it cost!" The patron vowed to himself and started his car. He wanted to go back to the hospital to meet doctor Vincent but then he remembered that he had said there was no way he could contact Saint and that only angered the patron the more. "How come I'm just hearing of Saint for the first time?" He asked himself as he started the engine of the car. His car was already in motion, driving far away from the Zlate villa but he was unsure of where he was heading to. He needed to find Saint before the day was over, but he didn't even know what he looked like, or where he was. A loud sigh escaped his lips as he partly concentrated on his driving, thinking of where next to

    The patron didn't know if he should give into his desire to laugh or reprimand the doctor for trying to evoke a jocular atmosphere in a situation like this. But the tone and the look on the doctor's face kept him back from doing either. "What do you mean by getting Saint to come heal Jack?!" The patron frowned at him, hoping he would cease if indeed he was trying to stir up a joke. "I saw Jack at Saint's wedding when I went to present my gifts to them. Jack must definitely know who Saint is." Doctor Vincent replied. The patron was even more confused, "who is this Saint you keep speaking of?" The patron asked. "You do not know who he is?" Doctor Vincent sounded surprised, "he is the only one who can save Jack at this point. And I have to be honest with you on that." He confessed. The patron then shifted to the edge of his seat. "I have no idea who he is, please tell me more about him." The patron urged. "Well, few weeks back, Saint came Into this hospital to heal not just one bu

    The constant beeping of the monitor filled the silence in the ward. Jack Sparrow looked pale while his eyes were closed in coma. Fortunately, he had survived the attack inflicted on him by one of the men involved in Victoria's kidnap. His house helps had fled the house, leaving Jack to die from the injury inflicted on him. His head was wrapped with fresh bandages but by there was still a sight of blood on the side of the bandage. Victoria was nowhere to be found in the ward and the only people surrounding him were the nurse attending to him and checking his heart rate and to see if he was still breathing right. The patron of his family and Doctor Vincent were hovering above the bed where Jack laid. "Are you sure that he is going to be fine, doctor?" The patron asked with great fear, placing both hands across his chest. Doctor Vincent let out a loud sigh before he went on to say; "I can't assure you about that, sir but let's just hope that he responds to the medications being ad

    Saint's breathing came out in a ragged state as he looked over the remains of what used to be the kin clan. He had destroyed everything in sight, and not even a single soul was spared. He managed to manoeuvre his way past the dead bodies scattered everywhere across the floors. He looked down onto his own body and noticed the blood stains all over his clothes—not a single drop of blood had spilled from him but rather the blood stains were from all the people he had slaughtered. Knowing that he needed to wash the blood stains off of him before he retired back to his clan so he wouldn't give his uncle another heart attack, he made his way back Into the building, hoping to find any place that he could wash the blood from him. The cloak of darkness still surrounding the whole place prevented him from finding his way to any bathroom outlet and there wasn't any room in sight, just a vast space filled with bodies of the people he had killed. He let out a loud sigh knowing that he would

    The entire house was as silent as a graveyard by the time Victoria made it back. Not a single sound could be heard—the usual sound of the TV blaring was absent; As Jack never missed his nightly shows, not even for the world. But tonight was different from the rest. The house was equally as dark and Victoria had a hard time finding the switches so she could turn the lights on. "Jack?" Victoria called out, wiping the perspiration from her face, "Where the hell are you, Jack?" She called out again, but the only response she got was her voice echoing off the walls and bouncing back to her. It felt like the house was empty, there was not a sign of a soul in the house—all the house workers, including the security guard that was meant to be stationed at the gate had suddenly disappeared. Victoria marched up the stairs to be sure of what was happening. Had those men all taken everyone in the house out? It was possible that they would have, if they wanted to keep anyone back from coming af

    In the darkness of the night, Victoria could still see the men grimacing in pain as they all tried to get back up on their feet. She struggled to get over the shock of having Saint walk away from her without bothering to ask her to come with him. She didn't know if to follow Saint or go back to Jack Sparrow; but the logical answer would be to go back to Jack's house and remain with him. There was no need to trying to patch things that was impossible to mend. "That bloody bastard!" Victoria emotions suddenly got the better of her, "he couldn't even lift a finger to save me!" She yelled out into the night, not caring who had heard her. "Why....why did I agree to divorce Saint and get married to a useless man like Jack Sparrow....that bloody idiot!""Oh gosh....I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid for letting Saint off just like that!" Victoria continued berating herself and tugging her hair in frustration. She sniffed back in the tears that threatened to cascade down her cheeks. She could
