Bab 62: CHAPTER 62: SOLVING THE PUZZLE

He's back!

Peter Black has been pacing back and forth while in deep thought. 

Before Zenia left his office, he told her to keep an eye on him too.

"That man was the beginning of everyone's sorrow. Please watch him for me. I didn't know when he came back but since he's already here and has been watching the house, I'm sure he is looking for that child as well."

"I understand. I'll try to keep a tab on him too." Zenia replied. 

"Thank you, Zenia."

"It's my pleasure to be at your service. This is nothing compare to what you did for me and my family."

The old man smiled. "I told you, I didn't do much and it was Vista who helped you."

"Then I shall do everything to find her daughter as my token of gratitude to you and to him."

"Very well then, if that would ease your mind." The old man smiled before he let go of the woman.

Zenia's family business was in dire destruction few years ago. They already declared bankruptcy and lost everything that they had in one go. A big company even sued her father blaming him that he breached their contract when in fact, it was the other way around. Loan sharks came and destroyed their home and her mother had a heart attack because of their continuous problems. 

It was Vista who stepped in out of nowhere and offered to help them. He fought alongside them and made sure to win the case in the court. It was a very difficult case against a giant company but Vista was a great lawyer and he was able to win the case. 

Zenia was a high school student back then and was constantly being bullied when the issue about her family erupted. She accidentally met Zion when he saved her from committing suicide. 

Zenia's family was the last case Vista handled before he died in a car accident. But before he died, he left Peter a message to take good care of Zenia and her parents until they get back to their feet. The fact that the perpetrator was still alive and lurking around won't guarantee the safety of the families which he tried to save from the wolf's grip.

But there was a shocking truth that Zenia didn't know yet. The truth that may shake her world once she finds out. And only Vista, Peter and Zenia's mother, who was in a coma for more than 10 years, knew about it.

Peter's eyes were still settled on the door while his mind reminisced a certain event in the past. 

The fact that the man is back in the country right now gave him the urgency to find Vista's daughter as soon as possible. 

That man promised to annihilate all of Vista's household and Peter knew he will definitely do it at any cost. It doesn't matter if it's a child or an old person, as long as that man said he will kill them then by all means, he shall do it. 

And when that man finds out that a part of Vista's blood was flowing inside Zenia's body, she will definitely be in great trouble too. So he must prevent the truth from coming out by all means.

SUZETTE WAS A LITTLE BIT SURPRISE when Marcus dropped the call. Well, that was Jade's phone number but it was Marcus who answered it. It was not like him to meddle with other people's business at all!

Suzette suddenly grinned playfully. Could it be that Marcus is now slowly seeing Jade as a woman? Hmm… possible! Jade was a sweet and charismatic lady that's why she knew that she can capture Marcus' heart one day.

"Look like the day has come! Should I expect for great grandkids now?" She giggled as she went back to what she was doing before she was interrupted by a lot of calls.

She turned off her phone and continued slicing the vegetables she left.

MEANWHILE, Marcus and Jade were stuck in the traffic along the highway. They've been patiently waiting until they will be able to get through that area when the rain suddenly poured. It started a little until it was pouring hard.

"Dang it!" Marcus cursed beneath his breath. The rain will only add up to the traffic that's for sure. 

Jade was only leaning her head but she unknowingly dozed off. The mellow music and the sound of the rain was too inviting and it would be rude to decline the weather's invitation. 

"Tsk! Look at this selfish woman. Can't you entertain me a little?" Marcus made a disappointed face as he focused his eyes on the road before them.

Unknown to him, as soon as Jade dozed off, hundreds of images kept appearing in her mind. Images of a little girl, a woman, a boy, a drawing of a bunny, bloody woman, hard rain, car, car tumbling round…. 

'You need to live so that you can bring the truth into light.' An anxious man was looking into a child's eyes. 

'And never ever lose this. Your mom's memory will be your greatest weapon in the future, sweetheart.'

The girl raised her hand and looked at the old wristwatch in her hand.

'I love you…' 

It was the last words she heard before the car came tumbling down

"Papa!" She exclaimed as she suddenly woke up due to the loud honk of the car beside her. She's breathing heavily as she caressed her chest. Dang it! She was trying to still her heart that was beating fast.

"Are you okay?" Marcus asked the perplexed woman.

"Ehm." She faked a smile before she glanced at the old wristwatch at her right wrist. Could it be that those images were her memories in the past? She couldn't remember the life she had when she was young. The only memories she had were when she was already at the orphanage.

The old watch that she was wearing was totally the same as that child has. And the man's face, she knew that she saw it clearly this time but she can't remember it now!

Fudge! She gritted her teeth in annoyance. Ah! How she wanted to remember that man's name! If only she can clearly see the blurry faces, then she might solve the dilemma she's facing right now!

"Jade, is everything okay?" Now Marcus was worried. 

"I think it's time to solve this puzzle." She muttered. "But where will I start?" She caressed her jaw with her fingers. "The orphanage!" Her eyes twinkled. 

"Jade!" This time, Marcus shook her arm and finally caught her attention. "Care to tell me what's bothering you? And don't you dare tell me it's nothing because I can see through your eyes."
