A week and a half passes and Luke, Ella and Lee are now able to see land. It wouldn't be long now until they were back on solid ground. "Ahhh, Doesn't it just look so nice?" Ella exclaimed joyfully while looking out the transparent plane covering their room. Her eyes were fixated on the land as if it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Luke couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm, but he also found it somewhat amusing seeing her this way given how much she had been through recently. "When I get back I'm going to take a nice long bath with extra bubbles and candles. Maybe even light some incense while I soak under the starry sky. Then I'll get out and dry off slowly while laying out by a pool somewhere in the desert with an ice cold beer in my hand." Ella continued on with her fantasy. "What about you half-pint? Are you going to go back to your family to tell them what happened? I'm sure that they would want to know how their youngest son almost died on his business tri
Luke watched on in shame at the mess taking place in front of him. The room was already cluttered as is with the bodies of the guests scattered about, but now Ella and Le were making an even bigger mess of things. And all over a single bottle of liquor. "Haha, your going to have to try harder if you want to catch me." Ella remarked as she kept away from Lee while holding on to the bottle loosely in her hands. "You think you're funny!?" Lee huffed in frustration as he attempted to tackle her but she effortlessly dodged him and quickly disappeared behind the bar. "Ha Ha Ha! Very cute Lee." She taunted him as she tipped the bottle upside down, allowing the liquid to flow down into two glasses. She handed one of them to him with an amused look before downing her own glass in an instant. "Hey! You can't just drink it like that! It's not a shot!" He said while pointing his finger accusingly at her. "Oh yeah? Well I don't have any patience today so I'm going to just drink it however I d
The passenger side door swings open to reveal A thin passenger with long hair tied up into a ponytail. He was dressed casually in a white collared shirt and black slacks. "Welcome back brother. You made quite the entrance I must say." Jonathan said with a smile from within the vehicle. "So how was your vacation?" Luke looked at his brother with disdain, "What are you doing here!? Why did you have to show up now!?" He growls angrily. "That's a silly question. I'm just here to pick up my brother and his companion." His older brother explained, "why don't you have a seat so that we can catch up. It's about time that we have a talk." Jonathan suggests with a grin while gesturing with his hand out towards the passenger seat. "Don't get your hopes up. I wouldn't ride in the same space as you if you paid me to." Luke retorted coldly. "How about you run on home and wait for me to tear you down, just like I did with Marilyn." Luke tells him with a scowl. "I'm sorry to hear that, but I don
On the edge of a skyscraper, a man stands still, emotionless as he embraces the cold air. The cool wind blows a tendril of hair in his face as he stares down at the crowd below. “Don’t jump.” EMS calls out from several paces away. “Stay right where you are.” Snickering to himself, The man takes off his glasses and lets himself fall backwards over the building. Succumbing to gravity, he allows his body to tumble in the air, crashing against the wind as he aproaches his final destination. As the man is falling he can see a figure standing at the top floor balcony looking down with an expression that reads as if she's been waiting for this exact moment. She raises her hand up into the air and waves it back and forth like someone playing a game on their phone. As she does so an odd box containing a message appears in front of his face. It reads: "Do you truly wish to end things this way? Do you not wish to take revenge against those that have stripped you of your dignity?" The man abs
Luke takes the bag and tucks it away inside one of the drawers in the room. He then removes his bandages and makes his way out of the room in search of something to contain the liquid as his aunt had done. Once outside, Luke is quickly spotted by a nearby nurse who rushes to intercept him. "Wait, you shouldn't be up just yet, You're still heavily injured." The young nurse looks at him with great concern. He had just fallen from a roof and his body was a mess. She had no idea how he had the strength to stand despite how painful it would be to simply move. "Oh please, I'm just fine. Besides, I'm just trying to get something to drink. I'll be back once I'm done. Can you give me directions?" Luke asks politely. The nurse hesitates for a moment, unsure whether or not she should allow him to leave. But seeing that he looked perfectly healthy, she decided that it was probably okay. "Follow the hall straight to your left and take the stairs two floors down. Make sure to use the handrail
Luke enters his aunt's hospital room and shuts the door behind him. The sight that greeted him upon opening the door was quite surprising. His aunt lay motionless underneath her covers. Her skin appears pale and lifeless. A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead. He could see beads of perspiration forming on her brow and running down her cheeks. "Auntie?" Luke calls out to her. His aunt didn't respond. "Don't tell me that you've already kicked the bucket." Still nothing. Luke walks over to her bedside and gently touches her arm. She doesn't stir. He takes his finger and places them on her neck. She was still breathing but he doubted that she would live for much longer. "What do I do?" He whispers to himself. If she died here and now, he couldn't let anyone know. Not unless he wanted to be locked up in this place forever. And besides, he hadn't gotten what he came for yet. Making a quick decision in his mind, Luke takes the syringe that he had stored in his clothes and injec
It takes him less than 15 minutes to arrive at the station and purchase a ticket. stepping into the crowded subway train, Luke rides for around 30 minutes before exiting at his destination. As he steps out of the train, he feels the familiar rush of air hit his face as he stands beneath the bright lights above.Walking quickly across the platform, he makes it to work. He takes a deep breath before entering the office building and heading straight for the elevators located on the opposite end of the lobby.Before getting inside the elevator, A man stops him. "Excuse me, are you Luke Castellan?""Yes, may I ask who you are?" Luke inquires."My name is Mr. Goudeau. I am a representative of your Aunts law firm. Are you aware of the terms of your inheritance?" Mr. Goudeau asks politely.Luke shakes his head. "No, what happened?" Luke tries his best to pretend not to know what had happened. It sounded a bit forced but it was acceptable."That's fine. But I will ask that you follow me for a
Luke knew very well what his sister was like behind closed doors. She was promiscuous, selfish, and completely spoiled. Everything was hers and nobody dared touch it. All because his parents treated her like royalty growing up. She had even managed to marry into one of the wealthiest families in the state, yet still continued her relationships with other men in secret. Despite having a kid together, she refused to acknowledge her roles as a mother and prioritized living a lavish life instead. Her husband, on the other hand, worked hard to provide for his wife and child, unaware of what she had been doing behind his back. While he hated his sister for many reasons, he admired her husband for putting his family first. For him, raising his daughter was his number one priority and he made sure to spend quality time with her whenever possible. If ruining his sister's life meant saving that girl from suffering as he did, then he'd gladly put her through whatever pain he needed to inflic
