"If we were only friends, I am not allow to do that or hold you real close to me..... p/s this is my second attempt at writing, I deleted my first story due to lack of public interest and lack of proper planning on my behalf. however, this story is different because it is definitely more structured and written with an extra passion.

Awaken

April was ambushed when she entered the toilet to freshen up, she was about to text Adam she had landed and can't wait to meet him but before she knew it someone banged into her and then a cloth covered her mouth, the next thing she knew, she was feeling dizzy and everything just blackened out.

She wasn't even spared a moment to react. She was brought to Crystal's underground hideout area. Crystal's men been urging Crystal to change their hideout place but since Tom disappearance all Crystal could think was to exact revenge on the Lu. She found out about April arrival and she could not be even more pleased that she could finally revenge on both Lu and Ho family. She would make Jade and Adam pay dearly.

April was awoken to two burly men discarding her clothes. There were cameras recording their action. Both men wore hideous masks. Then enter Crystal, behind the cameras and the studio light.

"You are going to be famous. No need to thank me, I did my research and at one point of your life, it seems you wanted to be an actress, and I'm going to make it a reality. In a while, I am going to call your sister, if she gives me unsatisfactory answers, I am going to live stream the act of you getting raped. A lot of sick people out there love this kind of lewd act. Ha ha. I am going to purposely burn one DVD for Adam and each of his family members as your engagement present. Hahaha." Crystal said as she provoke the struggling April.

"Who are you? WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT? WHAT ENGAGEMENT PRESENT?" April screamed, she is now left only in her undergarments.

"Boys, please leave us for awhile." Crystal ordered. The two men left the room.

"I am Vivian aka Crystal. You stole Adam from me and your sis took away Tom from me. I am going to make you and your family pay! My sufferings started all because Adam rejected me! Let me tell you, Adam is going to propose to you tomorrow night but once this live stream explode over the internet, will he still want you and the Lu corporation stock will crash. Ha ha ha ha!" Crystal laughed in madness.

April was stunned by the news that Crystal is telling her. She needs to calm down and think fast on how to reverse or overcome the unfavourable situation.

" Tom is still alive!" April blurted out. Might as well reveal this wild card and stall for time. She could not allow herself to be happy about Adam's proposal plans.

"You are lying!" Crystal roared. "Guys!" Crystal yelled.

"Wait!!! I can prove it. I have proof. You have to trust me, why would I lie?" April said calmly.

He is still alive? How would she know? She can prove it? These were the questions going through her mind. April knew she had a chance with Crystal. "If I can prove to you, can you at least give me back my clothes, it is a little cold like this." April negotiated.

"Alright, if I find that you are lying, I am destroying that pretty face of yours." Crystal warned April.

"Agreed. You need to first enter Daily Beijing Express news website. Find the news dated five days ago. Good Samaritan hospital release a news about unidentified male found severely injured at an alley, he fits Tom's description. I asked Chris to investigate when I read the news. It is really Tom! I swear to you on my father's grave!" April said.

Meanwhile at a hidden military hospital.

Derek was talking to the head doctor, Doctor Jin regarding reversal of coma. Jade was staring at Tom with a blank stare. She shouted for the doctors when she saw some movements from Tom. A group of doctor rushed in and performed a thorough examination. Tom suddenly regained his consciousness. In fact, before Derek arrived, the doctors had already off his sedations. They were just waiting for the patient to wake up on his own merit.

Adam rushed to Tom and explained the situation to Tom. Tom's eyes widened with surprised by the turn of event. He was left for the dead and the people he least expected to save him saved him. He closed his eyes to regain some moment of clarity but was shook hard by Adam who was clearly irritated by his actions. Every seconds matters damn it! Jade pushed Adam away, and took charge.

"Tom, hear us, We don't know who hurt you but we can help you, now, we need your help to save a life. Please. This is April's life we are talking about here." persuaded Jade.

"Water!" Tom croaked.

Chris fed the man the water he requested. Derek decided to video this whole meeting. "Heather was the one who planned tried to kill me off, and tried to pin it on you guys. I overheard the guards Jay and Eric's conversation after they left me for the dead. Something about the boss don't like it when her bitch gets too close to other men."

Derek send the video to Kwi Shan and told her to wait for further instructions. "Where can we find April?" asked Jade.

"If they haven't move out of that place, you are in luck. Usually every 5 days they will move out." Tom said. He then explained the location of Crystal and her men including the security.

"Promise me, you won't hurt her, please" he begged.

"It is only valid if April is safe and sound. Whatever she inflicted on April, I will pay back double the amount!" Adam said angrily. They then pray hard that the location Tom given was the right one and pray that they are on time.

Mild cliffhanger. Someone pickpocketed my phone. Sob sob sob. Bad day for me. Thank god my wallet was safe and sound. All the memories of my son, his pics and videos, all gone. Huhu
