Chapter 4 - old names

As the day progressed, one of Samuel's

men contacted him with urgent news:

now a sworn enemy had infiltrated the

university and was closely monitoring

Hana. Alarmed but composed, Samuel

decided to address the situation

personally. During Hana's break, he

arrived at the university, his presence as

commanding as ever. As they sit on a

bench under the shade of an oak tree,

Samuel gently holds her hand, trying to

mask his concern. "How's your day so

far?" he asks, his voice steady despite his

inner turmoil.

"It's good, but why are you here?" Hana

asks, puzzled but comforted by his

presence.

"Just wanted to see you," Samuel replies

with a reassuring smile. The bell rings,

signaling the end of her break. Samuel

watches her walk back to class before

heading to his car.

However, instead of returning to his

office, Samuel drove to a secluded

location—a place notorious for its

association with his brand of justice. He

parked his car and opened the trunk,

revealing the man who had been

following Hana, now bound and visibly

terrified. With a nod, Samuel's men

dragged the intruder out and subjected

him to a merciless beating, rendering

him bloodied and broken.

Once the man was barely recognizable,

he was brought before Samuel. The

mafia boss, his eyes cold and

unforgiving, approached the battered

figure. "Why were you after Hana?"

Samuel's voice was a low, dangerous

growl. The man, summoning the last of

his strength, looked up and rasped, "Boss told me to keep an eye on the

girl."

Samuel tilted the man's chin up with his

index finger, his gaze piercing. "Why?"

he demanded. The man, struggling to

speak, replied, "To find the right time

and kidnap her... to threaten you."

Samuel's anger simmered just below the

surface. Leaning back, he gave a curt

nod to his men. "Take his head," he

ordered, his voice laced with ice. "Send it

to his boss with a message."

Later, in a grand mansion far removed

from the chaos, a man of Samuel's age

descended a grand staircase. His PA

approached, handing him a gift box with

a grim expression. "News about Hana,"

the PA said. The man opened the box,

recoiling at the sight of his operative's

severed head. Beneath the head lay a

letter, its message stark and

unequivocal: "Consider this your first

and final warning. Harm her again, and I

will bring hell to your doorstep."

Andre clenched his fists, his eyes dark,

face contorts with rage. "SAMUEL!" he

shouts, his eyes blazing with fury with.

Samuel's warning was clear, a testament

to the lengths he would go to protect

the woman he loved. The message had

been received, loud and clear, echoing

through the corridors of power and

betrayal.

Meanwhile, back in his office, Samuel

sits at his desk. He opens a hidden

drawer and pulls out an old photo of

two teenage boys, Samuel and Andre,

giving a hi-fi with blood-stained

stomachs, smoking cigarettes, and

laughing. The names "Samuel" and

"Andre" are scrawled on the back.

Samuel smiles faintly, memories

flooding back.

A flashback reveals a fierce fight. Samuel

is outnumbered by a rival gang, fighting

valiantly. Suddenly, a car screeches to a

halt, and Andre jumps out, mowing

down a few men and joining the brawl.

Despite being outnumbered, Samuel's

gang arrives just in time. In the chaos, a

knife is about to stab Samuel, but Andre

pushes him aside and takes the hit

himself. As Samuel rushes to help him,

Andre, with a pained grin, asks for a

cigarette. They laugh and hi-fi, a

moment of camaraderie amidst the

violence.

Samuel is pulled back to the present by

his PA's voice. "The parcel has been

received," his PA informs him. Samuel

nods, locking the drawer with the photo,

his face a mask of determination. "Good.

Now, let's see how Andre responds," he

says, ready for the next move in this

dangerous game.

Samuel's mind was occupied with

thoughts of Hana's safety even after

sending the parcel to Andre. The threat

was real, and he couldn't afford to take any chances. He decided to pick Hana

up from the university himself, ensuring

her safety. As he pulled up in front of

the campus in his sleek black

Lamborghini students stopped to stare,

captivated by the sight.

Hana was waiting outside with Emily, her

best friend. The moment she saw

Samuel, a wave of relief washed over

her. She quickly said goodbye to Emily

and hurried to the car. Samuel stepped

out, opening the door for her with a

reassuring smile.

"Samuel, is everything okay?" Hana

asked as she settled into the passenger

seat.

"Everything's fine now that you're with

me," Samuel replied, his voice calm but

firm. He drove them home, his eyes

constantly scanning the surrounds for

any signs of danger.
