Davide couldn't recall how he had fallen asleep but when he woke up, he was still in the clothes he wore yesterday. He must've been so tired that he couldn't change out of his clothes.He groaned and looked at the digital clock that stood on his nightstand, it was fifteen minutes to seven in the morning. He didn't bother himself with rushing to get dressed.He was the boss, he could come in to work at any time.However, he was instantly reminded of the problem he was facing at work. Davide lost his will to live.With his face buried in the comforters of his bed, he groaned. He didn't know if he had cried last night but he was sure that his eyes were suddenly moist and the comforter was starting to get wet.His life seemed to be a rollercoaster of misfortunes. He couldn't place his finger on one time in his life that he was truly happy and not rueful. No, his life was quite pitiful.He didn't want to go to work. The problems would be waiting for him. He didn't want to leave to do wha
Beatrice had been worried about her daughter. She knew that Avery had taken a leave from.work after the incident that Davide had saved her from. Ever since that time, Avery had been quite frequent at the hospital. She wouldn't go home unless she had some things to bring back. She was always with her and did the most for a child who didn't receive the most. Beatrice had been thinking about Avery since that day she heard those words from those other women. She knew that as a mother, she clearly did not deserve a daughter like Avery but somehow, out of some miracle, she had been blessed by God with a daughter so amazing. She was well aware that most people that Avery knew would call her hard hearted, they would oftentimes refer to her as a bad person or a cold and shameless person but she knew her daughter, rather, she had known her daughter best. When Avery was a teenager, she thought her favorite colors were black and pink. It was after Davide showed up with purple lilies and she in
On his way over, Davide had been planning all sorts of things. He couldn't guess where Avery was nor where to start looking for her but he thought consoling Beatrice while they waited was enough. However, Avery was standing in front of him. His gaze went past her and landed on Beatrice, "is this some kind of a joke?" Beatrice saw the look on his face. If she wasn't a repentant, she definitely would've attacked him, probably saying something in the lines of: "can you not see she just arrived?" However, she waved her hand in the air and quickly made her way over to stand in front of him, "no, seriously, she wasn't here before, she just came back". Davude saw that something in Beatrice changed, he couldn't find the scowl, nor did he see the displeasure that usually took over her appearance. He couldn't guess what was wrong with her. Whatever is wrong with her was none of his business Avery was actually the same, she stood behind Beatrice and saw how her mother was waving her hand i
Davide had a look of sheer confusion on his face. He wanted to understand that she was having a hard time, from what Beatrice had told him, he could estimate that she lost the baby either last night or this morning. However, he couldn't place where his fault was. He wasn't the one who had downed drugs they shouldn't be taking, he was the one that fell from the staircase. He had lived with her accusations, calling him a gigolo, a cheat, etc. But he would not stand and let her accuse him of killing their child. It was unfair to him. He had suffered greatly in that marriage and now he had his freedom, he was going to be blamed for the death of their child? He was also grieving too, although he wasn't the one who carried the child, nevertheless. It was his child. Just like him, she also never wanted the baby. She wanted an abortion but he had negotiated his way to securing the life of that child and now she had killed it and she wanted to blame him. "What do you mean by that?" Davide
Mr Lee was surprised. He looked around the cemetery even though he wasn't sure what he was looking for. He was shocked to see Davide and even more shocked after hearing the words that left his boss.He had ensured that it was when Davide was unavailable that was when he would leave. He always spent this day like this every year. Nobody knew what he left the office for and it wasn't like they could even ask.He knew if he had just told Davide he was going to see his mother the man would let him. But Mr Lee hated talking about his mother. He had memories of her that he wanted to burn. "Why did you follow me?" He asked.Davide took a deep breath and read the name imprinted on the stone, "Lee ho Jun""Who was she?" Davide asked.Mr Lee saw that he blatantly ignored his question. He didn't want to say anything to Davide about his mother. He knew if he told Davide who she was to him, he would pry more for answers.However, he was obligated to give Davide a reply, "my mother".Davide nodded
Cassie didn't know how come but she eventually crossed over to where her Meghan was laying there bleeding from all sorts of places.A crowd had formed and nobody there knew that Cassie was Meghan's daughter. They were all talking over each other, mixed with the honking sounds from vehicles, Cassie felt like dying on the spot. She walked through the crowd and saw her mother. Many people were only looking at the body while there were some who were generous enough to call for an ambulance. Cassie went on her knees and pulled her mother into her arms.Meghan was breathing slightly.She wasn't dead yet but it didn't mean she was out of the woods, however, it was enough to give Cassie hope. Tears slid down from her eyes as she held her mother tightly, she ran her now blood red stained fingers over her mother's face to dry the tears, though she was also crying.Cassie had succeeded in gaining the curious gazes of everyone. Some people were even irrational enough to pick their phones to st
To tell the truth, Avery had been slightly grateful that this job had nothing to do with Davide. She thought that maybe this person had something against a number of people and it just so happens that Davide was included.All those thoughts disappeared when she saw Davide running into the hospital with a man following right behind him.She didn't know how to feel but she wanted to kill herself.She couldn't take the heavy boulder of guilt pressing down at her anymore. She wanted to tell Davide, to inform him that somebody was out to get him. She wanted to give him at least a little information that would explain a lot of things to him but she didn't know how to go about it. She figured this anonymous person had someone watching over her. When she had talked to Davide then, they had reprimanded her. They had found out and it could only be because she was being followed.She needed to be stealth about it.She scanned the parking lot, there were a number of cars around so she couldn't g
With the way the question sounded, it was as if Mr Lee himself was quite familiar with Mr Bach.Davide and Cassie turned to him with questioning gazes. Davide wondered how it was possible that Mr Lee knew the man and he also wondered what Mr Lee could know about him. However, it was impossible that he would know more than Cassie did. "Yes," Davide said. "Do you know him?"Mr Lee nodded his head, "I've seen him a few times. He's well known for his crimes, everybody knows he pushes drugs but there isn't any proof against him, it's like he bought the police".Cassie shook her head, "no. I know there are some good police officers there, not all can be bought".Mr Lee chuckled, "have you met any?" He asked her.Cassie frowned, "Davide, you didn't introduce this man to me"."He is Mr Lee, he's my assistant".Cassie raised her eyebrows, "pray tell, what's an assistant doing here?" "I came to sympathize with you," Mr Lee said. "I have been in your situation before". His tone was calm and h
