章 15: She's Here

Remembering his past made Xander clenched his fists. When his father went out of the house he tried to wake up his mother but she refused to wake up. "Mother please wake up, father is gone now. Please mother" the young Xander called out to his mother while crying but no matter how many times he calls her and tried to shake her unmoving body she didn't wake up.

Xander then had an idea, he ran to where his mother kept her phone and called his grandfather, as soon as the call got connected Xander said "H-hello grandpa mother is n-not moving, I tried to to wake her up but s-she's still not moving, please come quick."

Hearing what Xander said his grandfather immediately got in his car along with his bodyguards and rushed to save his daughter, but alas he was too late because she was already dead by the time that he arrived. He gritted his teeth, how dare that useless bastard kill his one and only precious daughter. At that very moment he ordered his men "Bring him to me here right now!"

Mr Danvers looked at his grandchild who was crying uncontrollably when he learned that his mother was dead, he cursed and looked away because his grandchild looked exactly like his father and right now he was feeling extreme hate towards that bastard and because of that he hated anything related to him including his grandchild.

After a few more minutes of waiting, the useless bastard was finally dragged in to the room and was forced to kneel in front of his father inlaw, as soon as Mr Danvers saw him he delivered a hard punch to his face and barked at him "you bastard! You dare to kill my daughter right under my nose."

"K-kill? No please, I didn't kill her, I only b-beat her a little I swear I-I didn't t-take her life" Joe Ling was a stuttering mess, he didn't mean to kill her, he only wanted to teach her a lesson for trying to get rid of him.

"shut up you son of a b*itch" Mr Danvers shouted and then asked him men to hand him a gun with a silencer on, without wasting anymore time Mr Danvers shot Joe Ling multiple times in the head, he emptied all the bullets on him and blood was gushing out from different parts of his body.

"That is what you bastard get for killing my precious Elizabeth" said Mr Danvers, he then looked at the frozen and shocked Xander, in one night he had witnessed both of his parents being killed, "Take the son of that bastard out of my sight, I don't want anything to do with him. Sell him or whatever, I don't care."

Xander heard his grandfather gave this order to his men, then he was dragged out and was taken to a place he was unfamiliar with, he was literally thrown out of the car in the middle of nowhere, he was lucky enough to be found by his godfather after 3 days of no food and water, his godfather adopted him and then trained him to be the next king of the underworld, after he reached the age of 20 years old his godfather passed away from cancer and then he was crowned as the king of the underworld.

Xander didn't believe in anything called love, he was already a dead man on the inside so he was sure that he didn't have a heart let alone have any feelings whatsoever, his soul was cold and dead so he never even experienced any feeling of being aroused or the need to satisfy his desires, he doesn't feel any fear or physical pain even when he's shot with a gun and stabbed with a knife, he does not eat because he felt hungry but Xander ate because he needed food to survive. Indeed Xander was completely dead on the inside.

When they arrived at the main mansion Xander ordered his assistant "Keep an eye on the girl, protect her and help her when she needs it" then he walked away and entered his home. Even though Xander didn't admit it to himself, that girl did have an effect on him, remembering her innocent and beautiful face and her sincere confession he felt something move in his chest, but he ignored the strange feeling and continued his life.

------------------------------

Kiara was in an excellent mood when she woke up early in the morning, today was her big day, she was going to be the show Stopper and she was extremely excited about it, just imaging how people would praise her and how men would ogle at her beautiful face and body turned her on. She washed herself got ready and happily went to the venue and as she expected, everyone was freaking out because it was almost time for the show to start and Katherine was no where to be found.

"Call her again" shouted Mr Smith at his employees, he was very worried that they could not find Katherine anywhere they looked, she was not in her hotel room and they couldn't reach her phone, he was worried about her well-being because he knows that she wouldn't just abandon everything now that they have already come this far "something must have happened to her" Mr Smith said to his secretary.

"Sir the show will begin in less than thirty minutes and we still can't locate Ms Katherine, I'm afraid we need to find a substitute model to be the showstopper" one of the organizers of the show pointed out to Jacob Smith.

Hearing that Kiara who was standing there immediately walked in and said "Katherine told me yesterday that she wasn't sure if she wanted to be a model anymore, but I advised her that she shouldn't give up just now but I didn't know she would ditch the show just like that. I'm sorry Mr Smith I failed to convince her. But if you don't mind I can replace her because it seems like we are running out of time" Kiara made a very sad and concerned expression, seeing this the models cursed Katherine in their hearts as they sympathized with Kiara who seems to be such a good friend.

Mr Jacob Smith didn't believe what Kiara said, he never trusted her in the first place because he was very well aware of how she became a model, he suspected that she was having an affair with Mr David because the man was known to be a womanizer.

But she was right about one thing, they are running out of time so they needed to replace Katherine, before he could agree for her to replace the showstopper the door suddenly flew open and they heard a sweet and familiar voice say "You didn't think I would abandon you and the show just like that now, did you Jake?"

Upon seeing her Kiara's face went pale and all the people in the room gasped.

"OMG!! I knew you wouldn't do that, see everyone, my beautiful muse and showstopper is here, she's here" Mr Smith excitedly announced and hugged Katherine. Now let's get the show started he said and everyone scurried off and continued preparing and getting ready.

Katherine walked past Kiara as if she didn't see her, seeing that Kiara also decided to address the matter after the show. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth while cursing Katherine inwardly, unfortunately she couldn't do anything right now so she just accepted defeat and promised to deal with Katherine later.
