Chapter 2: Devin Moore

Tall, handsome, rich, cold yet conceited and an over protective big brother. He's a domineering young CEO that could crush you in an instant without lifting a finger.

He dominated the business world when he is at the age of eighteen and at the age of twenty-eight he build an empire.

Unfortunately he got himself into an accident on his way to meet his client.

"Where is this place? Why can't I see anything? Why is it so dark? Is this my consciousness?" Devin asks himself. Unsure as to where he is.

He kept wandering around, walking endlessly hoping to see a light in this dark place.

He didn't know how long has he been in this dark dreary place. He kept walking 'till he thought that he's just walking in circles which is the truth.

He didn't know for how long he will stay and for how long he can kept himself sane.

Staying in a dark and dreary place could really challenge someone's mental state. One ought to know that when one's state is weak one would eventually succumb to its mental demons.

...

Aiesha couldn't help her self from pacing around when she heard her brother's condition after his surgery. She couldn't help but want to confront the person behind his brother's accident.

She didn't want that person to be free from charges and live freely in this world while her brother is lying in the hospital bed sleeping everyday and never waking up.

So she decided to investigate this herself than to entrust this to her PA like any other. She wanted to get to the bottom of this and find out more than the police had and see whether there are any conspiracies going on.

Who was involved and what are their motives from doing this down to whether there are some big fish who is working in the dark whom likes to play a 'life game'. And if there is, she doesn't mind playing them and defeating them in their own game. After all that was what SHE is.

Moments later Aiesha came to the courtyard where she settles the elderly whom she met in the road cause she has something to tell him.

"Grandpa Lin, there is something I want to discuss with you." started Aiesha.

"What is it? " the elder replied with a smile. He was looking at her as if she was his own granddaughter whom he doted on.

Aiesha find it hard to leave the elder here alone while he has not fully healed yet. But she knows that she has to leave as her brother's matter is very important since her beloved brother's life is on the line here. She also knows that her family were facing an imminent danger now though her parents have not felt it since they were focus solely on her brother. But she, Aiesha could feel it coming.

She already has a rough idea on who could possibly be her family's true opponent be at the present. Though they had quite a lot of enemies but she knows that none of them would resort to such scheme because she knows that they hated such petty tricks and scheme because for them it is just a child's play.

So she hardened her resolve and said, "it's like this grandpa Lin, my brother got into an accident earlier and I have to go and be by his side while working myself on this case as I feel that the person behind this won't just stop from what he's doing despite my brother is in comma. So I want to find this person and let him pay for what he had done".

The elderly was taken aback because he did not think that she would tell him directly her reason and to also informed him that she would be leaving. He felt that meeting her is not that bad after all.

"Then why are you telling me this? I mean why are you informing me your reason when you can just say that your leaving?" asks the elder with confusion that was evident in his eye.

Aiesha laughed lightly as she had expected this reaction of the elder and said in all seriousness, "because your injuries and your not fully healed yet. What if something happens to you when I'm not around? Who would take care of you? That's why I just told you my reason for my departure tonight also tomorrow morning someone will be here to accompany you." explained her while giving him a smile indicating that the one she sends is not something that can be worried about.

Knowing her concern over his health the elderly is quite satisfied with her and he tell her not to worry about him as this is not the first time he got himself injured and that he must go to her family immediately as they were more important than his few wounds.

As he watched the back of Aiesha walking outside the elderly decided right there and then that he will make her his disciple.

....

Aiesha watched her brother lying in bed, sleeping peacefully. She watched intently the scarred face of her brother. She can't accept the fact that her brother's beautiful face has now had an ugly scar.

"Brother please wake up soon I still want you to witness the bloom of that island which we bought together. Also you still has a mountain of papers to sign. Brother I promise that I will find the person who made you into this state and will let them have a taste of their retribution sooner than later. I will make their life a living hell to the point where they don't wish to live anymore. So please wake up I don't want to sign those papers for you not do I want to imprison myself to that cold office of yours. You love me right? I know that you love me and I also know that you don't want me to stress myself over work so you have to wake up for your cute little princess okay? You have to wake up no matter what or I'll torture you here every day and I'll tell all those little secrets of yours though they're not considered little to mom and dad." Aiesha whispered the latter half of her sentence to her brother's ear so no one would hear her even though she's the only one in the room aside from her brother who is in comma and her mom who is sleeping at the side soundly.
