Chapter 128 - Like father like son

Dr. Ken had never wanted to hurt Carl as much as he did now. His plan was to ruin his career and reputation. He would kill the person Carl loved the most and after Carl had suffered to his satisfaction, he'd kill him and sell his organs to cannibals.

This was the surgeon's original plan, but now that he felt attracted to Carl's woman, he would not waste her life in the name of revenge. He was going to make her his own, whether she liked it or not.

The surgeon realized that Carl was deeply interested in Anne since he had come to save her on his own. Probably even more than Cassandra who he took on a date.

No wonder Carl was secretly making out with Anne and it was puzzling to the surgeon that Anne was okay with being Carl's secret lover. He found it strange because he thought that Anne wasn't the type of person to be involved with someone who was already in a relationship.

Well, that was what he thought because he had no idea about the love triangle between Carl, Anne, and Cassandra. He was only glad that he chose to kidnap Anne instead and the sudden obsession he has for her has increased his hatred towards Carl. He was jealous of him and he's already planning on taking his revenge to the next level.

Seth Kennedy also known as Dr. Ken has hated Carl for five good years. His hatred had grown stronger over time and he often daydreamed of killing him. The strong feelings towards Carl was because he blames him for the death of his father.

Seth's father's name was Steve Kennedy but he was called Dr. Ken by his clients. For over a decade, he abducted people and sold their organs on the black market. He had been running that shady business for years and his only motivation was money. He didn't care about the lives he ruined in the process.

Just like his son, the first Dr. Ken was ruthless and calculating. He cared only about himself and his profits, with no regard for the lives he destroyed in the process. He was a dangerous man, and those who crossed him often met with terrible fates.

The first Dr. Ken, Steve Kennedy was a master of deception. He kept his illegal activities hidden from the authorities, and even the most skilled detectives struggled to find evidence against him. Though he was in his fifties, his cunning and intelligence made him a difficult target to catch.

The only family Steve had was his son, Seth Kennedy whom he kept hidden from the world. His son was his greatest secret, and he used this information to keep himself safe from those who might seek to use the life of his son to threaten him. No one knew about Seth, not even the police.

Before Seth's father died, Seth was studying medicine and surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. He aspired to become a skilled surgeon just like his father in the future so he could succeed him.

Although Seth was the spitting image of his father, from his tall stature to his sly grin, they were nearly indistinguishable. The only difference was that Seth was the younger and more charming version of the original Dr. Ken.

Everything was going smoothly for the father and son until Carl came into the picture. He started investigating Dr. Ken's activities relentlessly. With the help of Sasha and some intelligent detectives, Carl was able to uncover their secret hospital and catch Dr. Ken in the act.

Steve Kennedy hired an expensive and skilled lawyer to defend him in court but the evidence against him was overwhelming and there was no way to escape the consequences of his actions. Besides he was wanted by the police for several other crimes over the past decade.

After a lengthy trial, Steve was finally found guilty of first-degree murder and trading organs on the black market. He was sentenced to death and the people of New York breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they could walk the streets without fear of being abducted by the notorious Dr. Ken.

When Seth heard the news of his father's death, he couldn't believe it. He rushed to New York to see for himself, hoping it was all a mistake. Little did he know that Carl's clever plan had led to his father's arrest.

Seth was devastated after the death of his father. If only he had been in New York at the time, he could have helped him escape and avoid justice.

During the trial, Steve longed to speak with his son, Seth. However, he couldn't risk revealing his son's identity to the authorities. He loved his son too much to let him get involved. In the end, the outcome of the trial was left to the courts.

Carl was just 22 when he got his first big case as a prosecutor. Despite his young age, he was a brilliant prosecutor and he was able to win the case against Steve. While the trial went smoothly for Carl, it was a devastating defeat for Steve. The judge ruthlessly sentenced Steve to death for first-degree murder and trading organs illegally.

After Steve Kennedy also known as Dr. Ken the 'killer surgeon' was sentenced to death, Carl became famous across New York City. The media and the news outlets wanted to interview him and hear his story. Suddenly, everyone wanted to use him as their prosecutor, knowing that he was an extremely talented legal mind.

For Carl, it was a bittersweet moment. He had succeeded in his case, but it had come at a high cost. Carl was glad that he won the case, but he also felt a sense of sadness and loss. On one hand, he had done his job well and brought justice to the victims of Steve's crimes. But on the other hand, someone had to die in order to achieve that goal. It was a difficult situation for him, knowing that his actions had both positive and negative consequences.

After the trial, Seth learned about the prosecutor who helped put his father in prison. He vowed to take revenge on him because he blamed him for the death of his father. Though, it was the judge who gave the death penalty to his father, not the prosecutor. But in Seth's eyes, Carl was the one who deserved to be punished.

The government seized Steve Kennedy's hospital and properties after the trial since they had been obtained through illegal means. Determined to follow in his father's footsteps, Seth worked tirelessly to build his own empire and reach the same level of success that Carl had achieved.

As the president of the NYPD and a chief prosecutor, Carl was a very powerful man. It would be extremely difficult to hurt him, but Seth was so driven by his desire for revenge that he hired a private detective to follow Carl's every move.

Through the detective's investigations, Seth learned that Carl had a secret lover, and he saw an opportunity to lure him into a trap. He decided to kidnap Carl's lover, Anne, and use her as leverage to get what he wanted. For Seth, nothing was more important than avenging his father's death.

......

The surgeon's eyes welled up with tears as he remembered the day his father had died. The grief he felt was as raw and painful as the day it happened, and his desire for vengeance only grew stronger. As he watched Carl, he vowed to make him suffer in the same way he had suffered.

Dr. Ken sighed deeply and wiped the tears from his eyes with his index finger. He turned away from the window, only to notice that his bodyguard's eyes were red and puffy.

"What happened to your eyes?" he asked his bodyguard.

The bodyguard explained how Anne had tricked him by asking to use the bathroom and then using pepper spray to blind him. He described how painful it had been, and how he had been unable to see clearly.

"Boss, can you please help me with my sight? I'm nothing without my eyes, please I need your help," the bodyguard pleaded. His vision was still blurred and tears kept pouring from his eyes.

"I'm sorry but I'm not an eye doctor," Dr. Ken replied nonchalantly.

Suddenly, the bodyguard dropped to his knees and bowed his head "Please boss, help me! I'm still struggling to see. I don't want to lose my sight," he begged.

The surgeon groaned and rolled his eyes. "Ugh! Ben get up! You act too dramatic sometimes," he said and his bodyguard immediately stood up to his feet.

Dr. Ken strode over to his medical supply cabinet and grabbed a small bottle of eye drops. "These are a powerful kind of eye drops, they should make your vision clear up in less than a minute"

The bodyguard's face lit up and he was filled with relief and gratitude. "thank you, thank you so much, boss…"

"…not so fast," the surgeon interrupted.

"Don't forget that I have security cameras all around the house so I literally saw everything that happened in the operating room. I knew your intentions when you followed Anastasia into the bathroom and I promise, you're not going to get away with that kind of behavior" he said.

The bodyguard swallowed hard and kept his head bowed, refusing to meet Dr. Ken's gaze.

Dr. Ken's voice rose to a shout. "What were you trying to do? Were you trying to violate her? Answer me"

However, the bodyguard remained silent, unable to answer.

Don't you ever try to scare her or take advantage of her, got that?" Dr. Ken said in anger. He wanted to be the only person who could touch Anne, and the thought of anyone else looking at her made him furious.

"Yes boss I understand" the bodyguard replied swiftly. He wondered what was going on with his boss. Could he be interested in Anne? He thought.

Dr. Ken had only just met her, but he felt a strong connection to her and didn't want anyone else to come between them. He took a deep breath and said calmly to his bodyguard. "We need a change of plan on how to get rid of Carl... Gather your men, I want Carl McAlester dead before sundown,"
