Who exactly are you?

Taking a taxi back home, Evelyn arrived after one hour. Entering through the front door she changed her shoes into comfy slippers.

Evelyn dropped her bags, She slumped onto the couch and grabbed her laptop to continue her drawing.

Just then, The Nanny approached and said, "Miss, Your back!"

The voice visibly startled Evelyn, She scratched her head awkwardly and nodded.

Guess she still hasn't gotten used to the Nanny's presence

"Let me take your bags to your room" The Nanny Offered

Evelyn immediately waved her hands in refusal, "Oh no it's okay"

The Nanny nodded, "Okay then dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes"

After nodding, Evelyn reached for the bag, Seeing the small gadget, She picked it up and tightly held it

In the next second, Evelyn abruptly stood up and gazed around, She plunged the small camera in. Placing it on a very high shoe cabinet and its angle allowed a clear view of the place.

Bringing out her phone, She turned on the monitoring video and skimmed through it, Satisfied, She left and sat back on the couch.

Evelyn then picked up the laptop she dropped earlier and continued the character's drawing.

However, she found herself dozing off and unable to finish any of the comic drawings.

"Miss, Dinner's ready!" The Nanny said.

Evelyn walked to the dinner table and settled in.

….

At a famous cafe.

The place was bustling with people, Mostly teenagers who came to whilst away their money on computer games, Every table had a computer set up.

Sial Night entered, His deep blue eyes skimmed through the place, and his face was covered as usual, He was dressed in a relatively thin black attire, Making him look like a high school student, But his sharp gaze spoke otherwise.

The bustling noise immediately came to a halt as they stared at Sial.

A few young teenage girls immediately squealed in excitement

"He's so handsome!" One of them exclaimed, "And so tall" Another chimed in.

They all nodded in agreement. Their eyes fixed on him as he settled down on one table and lowered his head, the computer preventing them from having any further view

"Ugh! I can't see" A girl stated frustratingly

"Me too!!! you go get his contact info," Another girl said pushing a young girl wearing a Lolita print dress

The girl timidly shook her head, "N-no I think you should go"

A girl wearing high-waisted jeans and a vintage tee rolled her eyes and snorted, she stood up and declared, "I'll go"

She stood up and approached him, then leaned on the table, "Hey handsome, are you here alone?"

She asked with a small grin only to be met with silence.

Tapping on the table, She asked, "Hey! Can you hear me"

Sial Night remained unmoving, He intensely focused on the computer

"Arrogant fool!" She yelled and slammed her hands on the table, Then angrily stormed off to their table

The girls witnessed the whole interaction and they felt awkward, not knowing what to say.

"He's a jerk" one of the girls yelled

"Yeah!" They answered in unison

"Someone needs to put him in his place" a girl muttered absentmindedly

"Yes, it seems" The girl wearing a vintage tee answered, Seething with anger. She glanced in the direction where Sial Night was and saw the waiter dropping a bottle of water on his table

A sly smile crept up her face, she turned to them and said, "Girls, let me settle the bill, you guys go ahead" She walked to the counter and whispered to a waiter with thick uni brows, Then dropped a hefty sum and left with the girls.

Sial Night sat at a cosy corner table in the bustling cafe. hunched over his laptop. considering the cafe's shared Wi-Fi network he figured it should be the best way for him to obtain information safely

With a furrowed brow, He navigated through various software, not forgetting to ensure his activities remained anonymous, and then he plunged in a flash drive.

Just then, a waiter hurriedly approached his table, carrying a tray filled with drinks. Amid the bustling cafe, the waiter's hand slipped, causing the glass to topple over and spill its contents onto Sial Night's lap.

"Ahhh! I'm so sorry!" the waiter exclaimed, his face flushed with embarrassment.

He quickly set the tray down on an adjacent table and grabbed some napkins to help clean up the mess.

Sial Night, taken aback by the sudden mishap, looked up and stared at the flustered waiter, he then said mechanically, "It's alright."

The waiter continued to apologize profusely, dabbing at the spilt drink on Sial Night's clothes. Sial Night waved him off impatiently.

As the waiter quickly packed up the mess, he offered a sincere bow and went to the back room, "Yo! Joe, I saw what happened, you're so clumsy, Take a new coffee as an apology will you" the waiter with the thick unibrows

The waiter nodded, picked up a freshly brewed coffee and left

When the other waiter saw that, he couldn't contain a wicked grin

That was too easy!

He was initially worried about which excuse he could use to deliver the coffee

Now this fool gave him the opportunity

Best of All! He made a generous sum of money

The waiter called Joe earlier walked to the table with the coffee, he saw that he was wiping off the remaining liquid from his clothes, and guilt built up in him as he awkwardly approached him, "Here Sir, A compensation, please have it"

Sial Night waved his hand in refusal, He had a distant expression on his face, The waiter insisted then hurriedly dropped the coffee and left

With a sigh, he picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip, he then lowered his head to work Approximately 15 minutes later, He plunged out the flash drive and stood up only to feel a wave of dizziness. His eyes darkened and he glanced at the cup of coffee

I've been drugged!

Grabbing the water bottle he ordered earlier, Sial immediately left the cafe, his movement sluggish

The sky was dark, Walking out of the cafe he tried to focus his eyes, but everything seemed so hazy

And blurred.

As he stumbled forward, A familiar face approached him. It was the girl who approached him earlier in the cafe.

She drugged him? He thought

A surge of annoyance coursing through him, he weakly tried to make his way into a nearby alley.

"Stop!" She called out and approached. In no time, she stood directly in front of him. She leaned in close to him and whispered, "I can help you subdue it. All you gotta do is kneel and apologize, you arrogant fool"

Ignoring her words, He continued to walk forward. Just then his eyes caught sight of familiar figures, Leaning against a wall, his breathing grew heavy

Maxwell's men!

"Darn it! Come back here, You're so arrogant" The girl yelled loudly, piercing into the air

"Be quiet" he warned, Cautiously peering around the corner.

He carefully turned around, his movement becoming even more sluggish, wanting to leave as soon as possible, but he was held firmly by the teenage girl

"JUST FREAKING APOLOGIZE" she shouted with fury shown all over her face as she held her waist

The figures nearby glanced over, Sial immediately dragged the girl and hid in a narrow corner

"Who's there?" The men said

Sial weakly gestured for her to stay quiet and she furrowed her brows

"What are we hiding for, I did nothing, I'm going home," the girl, with her chin raised said with a snort

Sial disdainfully glanced at her, Feeling very annoyed

Why was he stuck with such a person

The footsteps of the men grew louder and nearer, from the noise alone, He could deduce that they were many. He moved both of them closer to the wall for more safety

Fear crept up on the girl as she sensed the grave situation and Suddenly, She aggressively pushed him away, "I'm going home!" She said and rushed out

The noise attracted Maxwell's men's attention, they looked over and surprise flashed over their faces then was replaced with a wicked grin as they approached

"Oh, I guess we're lucky, Don't you think brothers," One of the men asked as they circled Sial. their eyes locked onto him, A mix of amusement and malice in their gaze

"We sure are lucky, Not only do we get our revenge, But we also get to defeat the great Night Si" Another man chuckled sinisterly, he had a burly figure with multiple tattoos, "He-he! Just your bad luck, don't you think? We don't mind stepping on someone when he's down Ha-ha !"

Sial Night remained unmoving, His deep blue eyes silently gazing around. He could feel his world spinning and his eyelid gradually becoming heavy, He knew he was at a disadvantage

Deeply annoyed at his expressionless face, One of the men lunged forward, Delivering an aggressive kick to his abdomen

Sial doubled over, His already weakened body feeling even weaker, He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggeringly stood up

More men joined the fray, they unrelented threw multiple punches at him leaving bloody wounds.

"Hha-ha Beg me… Beg Me, you Maniac! Beg me for your life!" The Man with tattoos said maniacally as he chuckled

Sial sluggishly stood up and with a crooked smile, he answered, "Ha! You're not the first one to predict my end"

Pulling out the water bottle he carried, He splashed the water content on himself and threw the bottle away, Making him slightly conscious. His short hair damped. The blood that trickled down his face mingled with the sweat on his brows.

Two men rushed forward and swung their fists at him, He immediately ducked, narrowly avoiding the punch and then retaliated with a well-placed kick which sent the two men flying on a few garbage cans as they groaned in pain

Seeing this, More men rushed forward, And one by one they fell on the ground writhing in pain.

Sial's body grew limp, As he struggled to hold himself, With difficulty he staggered to make his way to the opening in the alley

One of the Men cursed and abruptly stood up, He pulled out a dagger and rushed forward, He plunged the dagger into the right side of his stomach

Sial grunted in pain, he mercilessly kicked him away and then pulled the dagger out. Tearing off one of the men's clothes he tied it tightly around his stomach to momentarily stop the bleeding

With disconnected steps, he walked out of the alley, Cleaning up he made his way back home with great difficulty.

….

At home, Evelyn entered the camera monitoring app on her phone, she skimmed through it and yawned several times. She rewound the video and began to watch it starting from when she placed the camera recorder and connected it. she fast-forwarded through the video and there was no sign of anyone just the Nanny when she left after work

Yawning, she forwarded the video to normal time and tiredly skimmed through it. All her energy was seemingly exhausted.

Her cellphone screen suddenly started flashing with a red point, indicating someone was in, She quickly stood up and stared intensely.

Entering the house, Sial felt a strange sensation, he instinctively glanced around and his eyes met with a small glinting gadget. A sly crept on his face as he stumbled into his room, Changing into his disguise as Ethan Cole he walked back into the living room only to be met with a cautious hazel eye boring into his

Evelyn intensely watched with he hazel eyes glinting, She saw a familiar yet also unfamiliar figure walk in through the door

Watching on, She saw him glance around and then weakly limped away

Her forehead creased, She walked out of her room but met head-on

"Who exactly are you?"
