His eyes flashed. He blinked repeatedly. "Where am I?" He rolled his eyes around the vicinity. “What’s going on? Who’s here? What kind of place is this?” Ryan's eyes trailed the environment around him. The sound of a whistle gave him an idea of where he was. “Whistle! Just so what I needed to hear.”He looked around to see engineers walking around the station with their faces held high."What happened to me?" His inner voice sounded in his mind, trying to remember what had happened and how he had gotten to the subway. After moments of searching in his mind, he finally remembered what happened before he fell unconscious. King had used his knife on him and made him unconscious. He tilted his focus around the station, trying to find any of the shadowy boys, but in the end, he couldn't find anyone. He wondered what had possessed them to leave him and ended up dropping him off at the station."Hey, young man, where are you going?" The voice that sounded behind him stopped him from his
***Turner and Evans looked at Ryan, their eyebrows twitching at his appearance. Something has changed about him. "I am sorry, I sincerely apologize for lying to you about your mom’s location. It was my own way of protection. She would not want you to have anything to do with Regal. I needed us to be done with Smith, so when you bounce to show up at your mom, she wouldn’t object." Evans' legs moved in harmony. His voice painted sincerity. "It's okay. All your sins are forgiven. Go and sin no more.” Ryan let out a grin with his palms on top of his head."Okay, why don't you come on in and take a bath at my place before we start round two of the plans?" Turner offered, glancing at Ryan's hair."If you say so..." Ryan accepted the offer reluctantly. Moving past Evans and Turner in one swift movement, he got through them without glancing back to see their awkward reaction. Stepping foot into the bathroom and taking off his clothes. He turned on the shower and let the blissful showers o
Ryan reluctantly got up, praying he wouldn't end up in the hospital after going back into her room. He laughed on his way to Emily’s room. Surprisingly, he met her on the bed, crying her eyes out. He moved next to the bed to take Turner's Notepad next to her. His hands were almost touching the notebook when he felt a hand on his. His focus shifted upwards to the gazing eyes of Emily."What the f*ck? What now?” he raised his voice as she held his hand, not letting go of him."You plan to turn my dad against me, isn’t it? You don't want him to believe me, right? You want to steal my shine and take over my position in his heart, right?" she proclaimed, taking his hands closer to her chest."Hey, you got to stop this," he said, feeling his body move as she dragged him into the bed. He wanted to scream for help, but she covered his mouth. He bit her hand, but she didn't give up. He was being gentle with her being a female Emily was. He knew he was in big trouble when he saw that she w
Ryan nodded his head distinctly. His heart was pounding as he waited for their opinion on his decision. After a while of decision-making between Turner and Evans, finally agreed with him. Turner had volunteered to give him a 4 story building two streets away from the Regal Haven Hotel. Evans also promised to lend a hand by getting him all the equipment he needed."Now that we have promised to give you all you need, what is the specific business you are interested in?" Evans asked curiously as his mustache smothered up like a wave."You will see when I am done with it." Ryan teased and his voice was evidently filled with joy, he hugged the both of them and headed out."What business do you think will be able to rise enough to make Smith want to have a part in it?""I think it would be a stripers club 'cause that business rises big time," Turner started to imagine himself having a good time with the ladies.He laughed at his thought. “Old man!” He whispered to himself. “Not even that
"Get ready, 'cause I am coming over to your first thing tomorrow morning," Her words echoed in his ears. He went blank and no words could come out of his mouth. He was speechless. His phone beeped, signaling the end of the call. He wasn't pleased by her last words, calling her number once again to change the date of her appearance in his city. His cell phone kept ringing, but there was no answer on the phone. It was already 2 p.m. prompt on the clock, and he hadn't even seen the building he was supposed to use.“What will she come to check? There’s no building just yet.” He whispered to himself. He didn't want to disappoint her since she could only come to his city once to report this story. He was lost in thoughts, not minding the ticking of the clock or the passing of time. He finally got an idea. Taking out his phone, he placed a call to Turner."Uhm, greetings, Mr. Turner.""Oh, yeah, my Ryan. How is everything?"."Not good.” His voice was plain. "And why is that?" He asked,
"What the hell?" Ryan could not believe his eyes. The color of the walls had changed from the previous dirty brown-white to the exact color he had thought of. He had only heard and seen something similar to this in movies. It looked surreal. His jaw dropped in amusement. The room suddenly lit up with a solar-equipped blue lantern. He was amazed by these findings and rushed back to the reception. The reception was more beautiful than the wards. The golden stripes had joined together at the edges, leaving the white color of the wall in the middle.The screen suddenly appeared again, sending Ryan flying back. Ryan hadn't become used to the system, and his fright over the system popping out suddenly hadn't been eliminated yet. He moved closer to the screen to see what was written on it this time around. "The Healing Center. What name do you intend to call it, young lord?" He read it out as he began to sort out names that he could call the business."Healing Touch, yes. The name wil
The knock on the door shifted his attention to where the knock was coming from. He walked towards the direction and opened to see Evans. "Oh Evans, I never thought you'd stop by.” Ryan stammered, looking towards the blue light, which hadn't disappeared and slowly opening the door for Evans to enter. "Yeah, I just thought to check up.” Evans smiled entering into the now well-arranged hospital room. Ryan grasped as Evans began to move towards the blue light."Oh, it's that late. " Ryan bumped in, in an attempt to rather let Evans start leaving. He was worried and didn’t even know if Evans could see what he was seeing. "Well, I assumed that, since you were busy talking with your system’s voice. Your personal Artificial Intelligence.” Ryan’s eyes grew wide. Does Evans know about Draco?“Who is this man?” He pounded in his mind. "Hey, visitor,” Draco spoke out. Ryan looked a bit confused, uneasy, and unsettled. “How are things with you? Family? How has your wife been?" Draco asked E
"Evans sounds so hurt. My precious visitor, how do you feel?" Draco asked."I can't feel my back," Evans managed to say still groaning in pain, he struggled to stand on his feet. "I guess that's done," Ryan sighed. As he tried to stand, his bone seemed to have failed him. The sound that echoed in the room was his fall on the ground. He had lost his energy and couldn't feel his limbs anymore."Draco, what's happening to me? I feel like I have been working for five years nonstop.” Ryan’s voice put faintly, lying flat on the bare floor."Well, you used up your energy as you activated the fated seal.""What’s a fated seal?" He raised his brows in question with his eyes focusing on different objects around the reception."Fated Seal is an advanced seal that allows the user to transform his energy into flame, which helps to heal people on the brink of death.""I wasn't on the brink of death; why did he use it on me?""Fated seal also helps to seal that particular organ or part of the body
