"Hey, wassup" Lana said enthusiastically from the other line, there was silence at the other end, "Eli.. hey say something. This network has always been trouble. ah....." Lana continued blabbering almost to end the call.
"Lana" Eli's voice was shaky and cracky, she sounded broken. Her voice was weak and inaudible. "Eli are you okay?" concern and worry was obvious In Lana's voice.
"I'm not okay, Lana."
"What happened"
"Aunt Mary is dead" Eli's voice was a whisper. She couldn't bring herself to accept Aunt Mary's death but she knew she had to accept it. She has totally lost hope but she had to live to revenge her parents, she lost her parents when she was younger and now she also lost the one she could call a mother the one closest to her, whom she can rely on.
"Wait!, what?" Lana couldn't believe it.
"Can we talk? I need your help"
...
"What happened?" Lana asked the moment she opened the door. It was quite late when she got to Lana's house.
"I don't know what to do Lana. She was fine when I left home and when I came back she was gone. I.."
"Calm down, okay?. You already know dangers lurks around you, The guy that killed your parents is still out there, he has a boss and the boss either has a boss or a backing. Things wouldn't go the way you want it. Have you ever thought of why they keep coming after you? Why Joseph sent you that message? Why your father's house haven't been claimed? huh? have you?. We both know how far people will go to get what they want." Eli was quite, she really haven't thought this through. Lana exhaled loudly, "Alright, there is something you need to know" Lana walked around and sat beside her.
"What is it" Eli felt that Lana knew something she didn't.
"The man that killed your parents was the one that kept the house. And..." Lana felt that telling Eli who her biological father is will do her no good.
"And?.."
"He isn't after your life. Just know that there a lot of people out there who cares for you. Don't let them down." After saying that she stood up and went to the kitchen to get the poor girl food.
"This is so unfair, Lana knows so many things and I know little."
....
Three street away from Lana's apartment stood the majestic Life Global Hospital, It was known for it's service and was the most sort after hospital. At the last floor where Life Global CEO office was located sat a young man with his cousins.
"Hey why are you laughing" asked the Damien the CEO of Life Global Hospital.
"It's not funny" Jason berated his twin brother.
Dennis coughed lightly, "Actually it's not funny but.... Hahahaha. Jason you're something really" Dennis couldn't help to poke fun at his twin.
"You know Dennis is right" Alex said.
"Jason your father choosed you to be his successor, and you refused to get married. Very soon you wouldn't think of getting married to the one you love" Damien said in a matter of fact tone.
Dennis couldn't help but laugh at hi brother, "He wants to die an old maid, and a virgin" Upon hearing what Dennis said Alex burst out laughing while Damien face palmed himself and Jason glared at them, he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to have such cousins and brother. "Poor Jason" Dennis could not to tease Jason.
Alex cleared his throat to gain the attention of the other, after laughing hard for some time he decided to change the topic. "Damien, how is your health now" everyone seem to have forgotten this, even Damien seem to have forgotten his health issue.
"Good" He exhaled loudly. "I don't know if some kind of witch cursed me or something."
"What happened actually, if my memory serves me right, you were fine when we left." Dennis asked
"Denny's effect." Alex answered instead. They all knew that Damien can't go too close to women, this was the aftermath of what happened when he was much younger with his mother being the cause.
