chapter Four- Anger Of Darkness

"That's it for today" The lecturer announced with a dismissing tone. Before the old man could even get out of the class, he was already getting pushed aside by impatient students.

"Bunch of spoiled rich brats" He muttered under his breath. After a few struggling and cursing, he finally got the opportunity to leave the class. Not without swearing all the way to his office.

"That old man needs to chill. He's old, he shouldn't be dragging with young men and women like us" Jacob said, staring at the door like he could still see the struggling lecturer standing there cursing under his breath.

"You know sometimes those people just like to stress him intentionally, just for a few laughs" Brandon scoffs as he chews on his gum like it was the most interesting thing to him.

"Well, that's what you get in a school like this. Disrespectful ingrates. I wonder how their parents put up with their crazy attitudes. Cause left to me, I'd shove them in a spaceship and launch them to the moon.

"Your imaginations are getting wilder by the day. If it were to be your kids, you'd find any means to protect them and that's what real parents do" Jacob sighed as he saw his friend already sulking.

"Common dude. I bet if your parents were alive, they'd be turning the whole world upside down by now, looking for you.

"But what if they're as poor as me?, or they believe I'm already dead?.

"Or what if they're billionaires and you're their long lost heir that will take over their properties?. Or what if investigators are busy checking every corner just for you right now?.

"(Scoff). Enough with your what if's. I tell you all the time Jacob, stop reading girls novels, you're a man for goodness sake, ain't you ashamed?. Okay, Imagine this. Me, The school number one loser, that's stuck to a wheelchair and as nothing to his name, a billionaire heir?. Gosh. Jacob, you need a doctor.

"When there's life, anything can happen.

"Idiot!. It's, when there's life there's hope, not that rubbish you picked from one of those your billionaire love affair novels. Very soon you'd say I'd have a sexy secretary who's poor and I'd fall in love with her but my parents will go against it and then I'd fight for our love and later we'd have sextuplets (scoff). This is why I call you an idiot.

"Jeez bro. I don't think your power gun can shoot that many. I know my imaginations are wild but yours is beyond me.

"Just shut up, idiot!. My power gun is capable.

"Wait!. If you really want to meet your parents so badly, why don't you just go to the orphanage and ask them how you got there in the first place. Maybe you can get one or two pieces of information from them" Brandon head snapped towards Jacob as he stared at him in awe.

"What?. Did I say something wrong again?.

"What. No..no..no. Actually this is the first time something reasonable ever came out of that mouth of yours and I'm very proud of you, my idiot" Brandon ruffled his hair like a child.

"Hey!. You know I don't joke with my hair so hands off.

"That old wig you call a hair. Oh please, I've seen better. Anyways I got to go, see you later.

"Hey. Where are you going?" Jacob stood up and started pushing Brandon's wheelchair out of the empty class.

"You know I can wheel myself right?. And about where i'm going, I want to pay the orphanage a visit.

"Do you've any money for a taxi?" Jacob inquired. Totally ignoring Brandon's earlier complaint.

"Isn't that far, it's just two streets away from here.

They both exited the school premises and started walking down the street for 14 minutes, until they came across a busy road. Jacob, who's unaware of the direction to where they're heading to, stopped and asked for directions from Brandon before moving forward. Few minutes later they stopped in front of an alley and with a nod from Brandon he took the alley.

Jacob finally stopped in front of a collapsed building. Their mouths flew open when they saw the destroyed building. The once elegant three story building was now mere sand and stones with broken woods everywhere.

"Bro, this place looked like it was run over by God himself!, cause this place is completely wasted. But is this the place?" Jacob's amused face turned to that of confusion when he saw the tears in Brandon's eyes.

What happened again?.

....…

"Dad, you've to believe me. She's not getting any better, She's only getting worse. I don't know what to do for her to understand that we're all trying our best here. But she thinks we're not. Dad please you've to do something" Silver cried in front of her father knowing fully well that's his weakness.

"My dear, please stop crying. I've hired all the best investigators in the world just to look for him, but they all keep giving the same report. That all the clues they could've used are lost. We manage to find the orphanage only for it to be brought to the ground. The person that did this to us really doesn't want us to find him, but I promised your mother. I'm going to keep searching till I find our son. Mr Zayn's eyes darkened as he stared at the glass of tequila in his arms.

His eyes darkened anytime he imagined the condition of his son and how he's faring. And whenever he sees his wife, his heart tightens with pain and disappointment. Disappointed at himself for allowing his only heir and son to be kidnapped in his own mansion, even with tight security. Disappointed that after twenty four years, his son is still out there not knowing if they exist.

He's hurting but he's trying to keep it in. He has to be strong for his family, since he's the only man around. He can't show any sign of weakness. But the day he'd get hold of the person who did this to his family, he's going to make sure he or she understands why he's called Darkness.

His attention was drawn back by the sound of heels descending down from the stairs.

His eyes widened when he saw the cold face of his wife glaring hard at him.

"Take me to that orphanage. I want to see my son!.
