A raging fire consumes everything in a big Villa. In front of the house sat a dishevelled woman covered in dirt, tightly holding a young unconscious child in her arms. They seemed to have escape the inferno. A series of siren could be heard coming from afar.
"They're coming. We have to leave now." A middle aged woman who was equally in a bad shape rushed to the disoriented and dazed woman, shaking her to come to her senses.
Raising her head and looking at the middle aged lady, tears fell as she wailed uncontrollably, screaming" Mother, the lady is inside the house" "It's too late to save anybody now. We have to think about the young miss well being first and leave from here. It's dangerous", crying she tried to convince her daughter that they have to leave now.
Looking at the child in her arms, the woman nodded and they left from there.
A while later, the villa was soon crowded with firefighters and the police as well as reporters.
A black Mercedes Benz arrived and a handsome man dashed out of the car as soon as it stopped. His eyes widen in horror at the scene in front of him.
" No this can't be happening. Isabelle!!!!". He screamed. He rushed forward in anguish disregarding the people trying to stop him. "No Sir please don't go", His assistant shouted and tackled him to the ground with all his strength.
" Let me go!!!. My family is still inside. I have to save them." He struggled and trashed, his expression twisted in heart wrenching anguish, his eyes are bloodshot red filled with immense pain and madness as he looks on at the burning flames, burning his heart to ashes. He tried to break free with all his strength but to no avail.
Unable to bare the the torment he coughed up blood and passed out.
A total of five bodies was recovered from the aftermath of the fire. The death of the people in the fire was a major event in the City because the villa belong to the heir of the one of the five big families in the country.
Dylan Kleinbaun has been disowned by the Kleinbaun family and is said to be responsible for the arson and without the protection from his family. He has been sentenced to thirty years in prison for disregard of human life.
State Prison.
Dylan is visited by his assistant John. He's still the only one who has continued to be loyal and not betrayed him.
He assured him,"Sir please don't give up hope just yet. We can still over turn this verdict. Just give me a little more time to get you out of here".
Dylan seems to have aged several years overnight and doesn't seemed to have the will to live anymore. He also seems like he's been abused in the prison cell. His face is badly bruised with his right eye swollen and shut.
The corner of his mouth is split and traces of blood still visible.John looked at his boss in distressed. His eyes turned red and he slap the desk in anger, "How dare they treat you like this". His voice filled with indignant.
This was his boss. The man he admired and respects the most. The CEO of MEGA Corp and Prince of the Kleinbaun clan. Yet he's here locked up and being abused.
"The stepson and stepmother of the Kleinbaun clan sure are heartless, taking advantage of the master's plight to stab him in the back". He thought.
"What's the use of leaving this place. In the end I deserve it all" Dylan answered, melancholy.
His most beloved treasures has been lost in the fire and he had lost his soul along with them.
" No Boss. You can't give up yet. We have to find out the person behind the fire. We have to get Justice for the lady. And also I have discovered that the young miss body wasn't found among the bodies recovered from the fire". said John.
Dylan's eyes opened wide in shock. Tears welled up in his eyes as hope slowly replaced the despair he felt.
" A..are you saying the truth?", He asked tentatively. His anxious eyes search for any form of falsehood on John's face but the later nodded his head firmly, assuring him that he's speaking the truth.
" I promise you that I'll look for her even if I spend my whole life looking for her." John sworn an oath.
