Doctors Office
After visiting Carlita, I had met with the Head Doctor who discussed with me the extent of Carlita injury. I found out that she damaged both her legs, she had a few broken ribs, and she had a very serious head injury. After the surgery, they were able to save her, however, the chances that she would be disabled and have memory issues was quite high. When I heard that she may not even be able to wake up, I thought I couldn't breathe. Even though I've seen her die so many times, it was never like this, where she was so severely injured. And not when we haven't even met yet.
When I heard how severe her injuries were, I was so scared that I yelled in a serious and scary voice "I don't care what it takes, make sure she gets the best treatment and best care! If she dies or never wakes up, I will make sure this hospital burns to the ground. Even your life won't make up for not being able to save her" I threatened. The doctor who felt like he would shit his pants, automatically agreed. "Y..Yes! I will definitely, no matter what, make sure that she gets the best equipment and ensure that we do our best efforts to help wake her up" he seriously replied even if he felt in his heart that he may have just made a declaration that might just kill him. He knew in his heart that the chances of that lady waking up was quite slim and even if she did, she would mostly likely live her life disabled.
As Mikeal opened the door and slightly walked out of the room, he paused and questioned, "What about her family? Have they come yet?" Now that I know she is the one, the idea that she already is with someone reminded me that this time, I may not be able to get close to her as easy as before. I now regret not getting close to her before she met that man.
When the doctor heard his question, he automatically knew who he was speaking about. Afterall, the women in question was actually a very famous celebrity and who didn't know that she was married to one of the most powerful man in the country, Mr. Leon Rhiandos. The CEO of the world's leading SM Company. They controlled entertainment, trading, real estate and the fashion world. Some of their connections even extended to the government. The fact that the lady of the Rhiandos family is currently in a hospital was actually kept secret. Rumors were made that Carlita took a brief break to go to another country and have a vacation but no one knew that she was actually injured.
"Mr. Rhiandos actually visited only once after the surgery and then after, it was only their butler that has been coming over to check on her condition. It appears that Mr. Rhiandos seems pretty occupied with his work and has only instructed us to let him know if her condition changes" The doctor said as he felt pity for the lady. Everyone said that Mr and Mrs Rhiandos were in love but with how Mr. Rhiandos acted, it may not be case.
When your loved one was in such a serious condition, wouldn't you want to be at their side everyday? Wouldn't you eagerly check on her condition personally? Even the reaction of this scary man in front of me shows more care than the man who is actually her husband.
When one of the board member told me that a man who I could not offend and whose orders I must follow would be coming and I need to make sure that the corridors were empty of nurses and doctors where the women was staying at, I was so curious as to who could it be. As I looked in front of me at the back of the man who was about to leave, who even with the mask, you could tell was extremely handsome, who radiated such a strong presence, and whose aura was deadly scary, I wondered what the women's relationship was with this powerful and mysterious man.
"I see" he responded silently before he completely walked out and closed the door. I collapsed in my chair and steadied my heart. I thought that was the scariest encounter I've ever had to go through. Just his presence alone made me feel like I was stepping on egg shells.
The thought that this hospital and my life depended on that women waking up, made me feel so scared. I prayed for a miracle that the lady would wake up or else I don't know what that scary man might do.

Mikeal POV
"Robert. Tell me, how did she get into this accident?" I demanded angrily as I walked out of the hospital building and into the back seat of my black Rolls Royce Phantom. We then departed the area along with Team White who I brought along to secure the area. I also made sure that this time I left a dozen of professionally trained guards to secretly monitor her in the shadows.
Robert who followed me inside, reported, "Through a background investigation and evidence that I obtain from a leaked source, I found out that there is a chance that this was an attempted murder. Even though everyone saw her fall down the stairs of the escalators of the SM company, no one knew how she fell. It was such a late night and everyone was busy leaving the company. By then, hardly anyone was at the office. However, from the statement of those who were still in the area, all they remembered was a women screaming and then falling from the escalator. They did not see anyone else in the area as they ran to the scene. However, the leak we found was a person who was cleaning the upper levels of the company at that time. She mentioned that as she was entering a washroom to clean, she briefly noticed Mrs. Carlita pass by and then someone wearing a black hoodie following right behind her as they headed towards the stairs. Just as she started to clean, she heard a scream outside. She then ran toward the direction of the scream and found many people shouting and surrounding a women who was at the bottom of the staircase. As there were suddenly many people and due to her bad eye sight, she couldn't see the face of the women who fell. At the time, she didn't connect anything about what she just saw earlier to what just happened. In fact, she almost forgot about it if it wasn't for the fact that only after someone secretly mentioned that the person who fell was Mrs. Carlita that she remembered that at the time, a shady man was following her. However, when she reported about this to the police, they only said that they would take her statement into consideration. Soon after, the company suddenly gave an announcement of laying off people due to recent events and she was one of the many people who got layed off the next day. She then went to find another job before we found her again after interviewing every person that was in the incident. We actually wouldn't have found her employee record if it wasn't for the fact that another cleaner who knew her mentioned that she was actually one of the cleaners on the job at that time. We had to search everywhere for her before locating her working as a cleaner for another company. Apparently she was suddenly offered a job overseas by her current company. She would be leaving the next day if we had not found her. "
"Hmm... Even though everything appears normal, but the fact that she got layed off and was suddenly offered another job by her current company when she just started is rather suspicious. It looks like they are trying to send her away. Tell her we will offer her twice as much as they offered her for the new job and get her a job in one of our subsidiary companies. Make sure she tells you exactly all that she knows." I instructed as I looked out the window and into the dark, lonely night.
It appears that even though I assigned people to only keep tabs on her, I should have instructed them to be more proactive at updating me when she is in trouble. As much as I regret not getting involved sooner, it did not change the fact that at that time, my heart that did not beat and did not feel anything, had no desire to get to know her. She was just a women who uncannily looked a lot like her. For me, she was an art piece, nice to look at from a distance but something I had no desire to learn more about. I sighed as I again wondered for the 100th time what had happened that this time, everything was different.
