Chapter 2 - Xander Lee Is Awake

Darkness. Everything he could see is Darkness. Not a single light can pass through this endless void. His consciousness is awake but he couldn't do anything.

He felt that his eyes are closed but he couldn't open them. He tried to move his body but couldn't. He just stayed silent in this endless darkness.

When he suddenly felt soft fluttering and..

Woosh!

A bright light hit his face. He blink a few more times before he finally adjusted to the light.

'Is this the afterlife?'

'It's comfortable.. It is as if I'm laying down on a soft bed.'

'Oh! I can even watch TV in the afterlife-'

'What? TV?!'

Daniel's eyes widen and look around the room he is in. There's big flat screen TV! French windows where you can see tall trees that barely covered the bright sun. A grand piano on the corner, a fire place below the TV, a long L shaped white couch on the right. Two double door on each sides of the same wall as the flat screen TV. Another door a few meters away from the couch.

A big chandelier hanging on the ceiling and a big soft king size bed!

'What the heck is this place?! It doesn't seem like heaven?'

Creak..

The door beside the couch opened. A middle age women in a maid dress entered the room with a broom in her hand.

Daniel stared at the woman, confused. Daniel couldn't move and can only he opened his eyes. But the middle age woman look extremely shock!

The middle age woman's broom fell on the floor before she ran out of the room hurriedly while shouting, "Madam! Madam! Y-young Master! H-he is awake!"

Before Daniel could process what was happening a sudden pain crept in his head. He gritted his teeth tightly as he couldn't open his mouth to shout. The pain is unbearable.

An old woman wearing a expensive dress entered the room with an anxious expression. Her face gradually turned into shock when he saw Daniel awake in the bed.

But before Daniel could notice the old woman's existence everything turned into black once again.

...

Daniel open his eyes to see a handsome man with blonde hair, hazel eyes and a pretty woman with black hair, blue eyes.

But Daniel seemed to have shrunk? He is small that he barely reach the hip of the handsome man.

"Xan-.." The woman continued to speak but Daniel could not hear what she is talking about.

The handsome man patted Daniel's head before they both hugged him making Daniel even more confuse.

What is happening? Who are these people? Why am I so small? How come I can't hear what they are talking about?

Before Daniel could ask the woman and man, everything went black again.

This time when Daniel open his eyes, he saw an old woman in luxury clothing and a man wearing a white laboratory coat, most likely doctor.

"There's nothing to be worried about, madam. Young Master Xander's condition is stable and he would wake up any time soon again." The doctor spoke with the old woman.

"Thank you, Doctor Elrod." The old woman sighed in relief.

"Young Master Xander just needs to go to rehab so he can start walking again." Doctor Elrod smiled.

After a few minutes of discussion the doctor bowed and left the room.

The old woman turn around to look at Daniel in the bed. Her eyes widen seeing that he is awake. The old woman rush to Daniel's side before sitting down on the chair beside the bed.

"Xander, are you alright? Do you feel pain anywhere?" The old woman asked Daniel worriedly.

"Ah.." Daniel was about to speak when he realize his throat is so dry that he just made a grunting sound.

The old woman notice this and gave Daniel a glass of water from the bedside table.

Unlike before that Daniel couldn't move. He now can lift his hand but it takes a bit of effort.

Daniel took the glass of water from the woman with shaking hands before he took a few sips of it. His throat felt a bit better now.

"Can you speak properly now?" The old woman ask before taking the glass of water from Daniel.

"Y..Yes.." Daniel manage to reply.

The old woman smiled while he caress Daniel's hand softly before speaking, "You should rest now, Xander."

Daniel frowned, 'Who's this Xander? Why does this old woman keep calling him that?' Daniel thought.

"W..Who is Xa..Xander?"

The old woman's eyes widen but turned normal again after a few seconds, "Right.. the doctor did say that he may lose some of his memories." The old woman muttered but Daniel manage to hear it.

'Lose memories? Is she talking about me? I still remember everything clearly-... That I fell from a 10th floor hotel!' Daniel's eyebrows crashed when he realize this.

"You probably don't remember who I am, Xander.. I am your grandmother." The old woman or supposedly Daniel's grandmother said.

"And your name is Xander Lee. You are the heir of the Lee family." The old woman spoke slowly.

'Xander Lee! Heir?! What is happening!' Daniel's expression turned from shock to confusion.

Isn't Daniel supposed to be dead? Did he perhaps got reborn into the body of this Xander Lee?

"D..Date? W-what date is.. it?" Daniel ask the old woman desperately.

"Its February 24th 2135. Five years since you've gone in coma."

Daniel's eyes shot wide open. He fell from the hotel building just yesterday! The date yesterday was February 23rd 2135.

Did this mean God had answered his wishes? He remembered that he wish to have a chance to live and he will even continue his studies!

'No, this can't be possible right?' Daniel thought

"C-can I s..see a mirror?" Daniel asked. He wondered if he looks different or still looks the same as before.

The old woman nodded before she took a hand mirror from the bedside table's drawer. She handed the golden rimmed mirror to Daniel.

Daniel shakingly took the mirror from the old woman's hand. He close his eyes before placing the mirror in front of his face. He open his eyes to look at his reflection in the mirror.

Black hair as dark as the empty night sky, sharp hazel eyes that seems golden from the sunlight, full thin lips but pale and dry, Long black eyelashes, thick eyebrows, sharp long nose, and pale skin. A face that screams deathly handsome!

Even though this face looks sickly it's still very handsome! Probably the most handsome face Daniel has seen.. But this face. Is it his!?

'What the heck is going on?! This face.. this is not mine. If this is my face and if I am in a new body.. Did God really answer my wish?' Daniel found this hard to accept.

Daniel parted his lips to see that the handsome man in the mirror did the same. He pursed his lips this time to see that the man also did the same!

He really is this handsome man! He looks more handsome than the most famous celebrities known for their beautiful faces. His even more handsome than all the 'Heaven' members combined.

'This is really me. Then does that mean..'

That's when Daniel remembered what those four f*ckers did to him. They used him, and tried to kill him too.

Now that God gave him this opportunity he will not waste it! He will get revenge.

Anger soared from Daniel's heart as he remembered all the things those people did to him.

'Does that mean I can take my revenge now?'

Daniel's hand on the mirror became pale because of his tight grip. He is still weak but when he recovers his strength the mirror would high likely break.

The old woman or his grandmother notice the young man's tight grip on the mirror. She place her hand on the young man's hand that is on the mirror.

Daniel felt something soft on his hand. He turn his head to the side to see that the old woman or the grandmother of this body touched his hand. He slowly relax his hand that gripped tightly on the mirror.

The old woman smiled before taking the hand mirror from Daniel and place it to the side.

"Xander, do you want to be left alone for now?" The old woman ask before Daniel nodded his head.

After the old woman left the room. Daniel's hand formed into a tight fist.

'Those bastards will pay for all they did to me! I will make them suffer!' Daniel gritted his teeth angrily.
