SURVIVING THE ORDEALS

Accidental or Intentional?

Detective Austine's voice came through the phone, "The hit-and-run driver has turned himself in." Anwyll rushed out of the hospital, eager for answers. At the police station, he exchanged pleasantries with the detective and asked about the developments. Detective Austine offered him a calming smile and a chilled fruit juice. "I've just returned from the accident scene, where I obtained surveillance footage. The driver confessed to speeding, citing his conscience as the reason for turning himself in." Austine paused, then added, "My investigation confirms his claim." Anwyll breathed a sigh of relief, thanking the detective. He struggled to recall the detective's name, apologetically looking at him. "My name is Austine, sir," the detective reminded him. Anwyll thanked him again, and Detective Austine advised, "Consider hiring bodyguards for your daughter's safety, despite the investigation indicating an accident." Anwyll agreed, and they shook hands before he left for the hospital.

In her residence, the lady in red unleashed her fury, ranting and destroying everything in her path. She slashed her hand with a knife, and as blood gushed out, her anger began to subside. Once she had calmed down, she summoned one of her maids to clean up the mess.

The lady retrieved a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, poured a glass, and swirled it contemplatively. "I will stop at nothing to achieve the power I desire," she murmured to herself, her eyes gleaming with determination.

The lady's violent outburst finally subsided, her rage spent. She stood amidst the shattered remnants of her tantrum, her chest heaving with exertion. The cut on her hand throbbed, a steady beat that echoed her still-racing heart. With a deep breath, she regained control, her composure slowly returning. She summoned a maid to tidy up the destruction, her voice steady and cold. "Clean this up. Now."

In Alan's house,a servant was polishing Teina's nail. The door flung open,revealing Alan who was looking famished and exhausted. Alan worked as a secretary at Money mind financial company which was under Anwyll's leadership. Alan is averagely rich and he can afford to provide for Teina's expensive needs.

Upon seeing him,Teina immediately sprang up and flew into his arms pecking his left cheek. Alan smiled like a kid who was given candy and happiness sprouted and bloomed in his heart like a flower.

“Hubby,how was your day?,Let me help you with your suit”. Teina said.

“My day was stressful,I am very hungry and tired”Alan replied. Teina helped Alan with his suit and she asked Alan to go take a shower before eating. Alan hurried to the shower and within three minutes ,he was done.

While eating the the dining room,Alan asked of Aila and Teina replied saying,"That brat hasn't come home since yesterday". Then she paused for a while and smirked when she saw Alan frowning due to anger,then she added,”I don't know where she is”. Alan slammed the table and said angrily,”Hmph,I will show her the stuff I am made of if she comes back”. Teina managed to coax Alan and they continued their Lovey-dovey act.
