A Mysterious Man

Andrei Hawkins smiles widely, "My daughter is the best ever."

Bella walks into the garden and casually hears the conversation. She worked so hard for that gift but now, because of her father words, it is useless. It is trash.

Her mouth twitches, she throws her gift into the dust bin, then turns and leaves negligently.

While the people inside are trying to compete with each other by showing off their abilities, Robin is standing outside the door and reaches an agreement with Kevin and the others. "You help me to get rid of Andrei, I help you to find proofs."

Kevin chuckles lightly, "it is going to be the other way around or nothing pal, you find evidence, then we help you to get rid of Andrei."

Robin curls his lips and looks at Sunny, and then back at Kevin, "Say it, you want to make this deal or not?"

"If you want to cooperate with us, it is necessary to build some trust. You provide nothing, you leave me no choice but to refuse."

Sunny turns her head and takes a deep look at Kevin realizing how much he is changed in the last few years. He became one hell of a negotiator.

He has never shown such abilities, did he held back till now?

Robin knew that Kevin would have said that, so he is well prepared and shows them a really convincing proof.

"That phone is in Bella's place." Robin takes out his own phone and opens the mobile album, "I saw it the other day, and I thought it could be used for leverage."

Kevin takes the phone and looks at it for a while. The photo is of Bella, who comes out of the study-like room quietly, holding something carefully in her hands. Although she was holding it tightly, the corner of the object can be seen clearly, a mobile phone indeed. "Check out the video too." Robin says kindly.

Kevin is getting suspicious of Robin. This one is the kind of a man to better have as friend rather than an enemy. He's the kind who can come in handy whenever you do not expect it.

With that in mind, Kevin's flicks his finger to open the video.

The camera is placed in a hidden corner, and shows a figure faintly walking around, disturbed.

"Why are you still alive?"

Sunny's eyes widen at that sound, she grabs the phone, trying to get a better view of the scene.

"What happened?"

"Nothing......"

Sunny cannot find anything peculiar, so she just gives it back to Kevin. She still hasn't told Kevin about the phone call.

"Ok, That is definitely Bella, but what she is up to?"

Kevin is struggling to figure it all out, it is getting messy, very.

"Her purpose should be the same as mine."

Robin groans, "She also wants to destroy the Hawkins family."

"In that case, her actions could be explained..." Kevin realizes something halfway through the conversation, and asks, "Do you know anything about the group that goes by the name of PY Gangster?" "Are you talking about the one?"

Kevin is startled when hears this question, "Do you know the old one as well?"

Robin shakes his head, "It's just an urban legend, nothing can be trusted."

Bit disappointed, Kevin is still trying to get information about them, "If you ever come across any intels, even if it is just a whisper, you will tell me, OK?"

"It will depend on your sincerity." Robin doesn't beat around the bush and tells Kevin exactly as it is.

Kevin smiles indifferently. "I am brutally honest, and it depends on whether you can bear it." "Deal."

So they reach a temporary agreement, Robin looks at the sky, "It is getting late, see you next time." Kevin waves at him, "See ya."

Before leaving, Robin takes a deep look at Sunny again, then turns around and walks away.

"He is challenging me." Kevin follows Robin's gaze and finds that he is always staring at his wife.

"Get a grip, let's go."

Kevin is driving when Sunny receives a call from unknown phone number.

"Sister!!!"

Zola's somewhat stern voice could be heard through the phone, which makes Sunny's hands shake almost dropping the phone.

"What is going on?"

Sunny calmly asks.

"I..." Zola looks at the person standing in front of her grinning, and she cannot say what she truly wants to say ending up saying nothing.

"Aah!" The crack of the whip makes Zola scream, that person in front of her is merciless and demanding.

"Zola, where are you? Tell me, and I'll come over right away." Cries Sunny all worried.

"Sister..." Zola becomes obedient, the whip does that to people, and reads the sign that has been written by the torturer.

"I...I'm at No.73,PH Road..."

Seeing that Zola has conveyed the address, the mysterious person lingering in the background puts the paper away and hangs up the phone. "Hello? Hello? Zola?"

Sunny can't hear Zola's voice anymore, and the call disconnects.

Kevin glances at Sunny and notices how uneasy she is, "What's the matter?"

"Zola has been kidnapped..."

Kevin shows a slight disappointment with his face and keeps silent.

"Hey, I say she is been kidnapped..."

"So what?"

"...Take me there, I'll call the police on the way."

Kevin rages out, "Sunny, do you really want to go? Did you forget what happened to you when you tried to save her last time? You almost died, remember?"

Sunny turns her head to look at Kevin, "She lost her child because of me, I owe her, not to mention..."

Sunny wants to say that Zola has never hurt anyone in her life, but when she thought the thing Zola did, she kept silent.

"Whatever, If you wanna sit this one out it is fine, but I am going anyway."

Kevin rolls down the window of the car, then steps hard on the gas and takes her to the required destination. She doesn't realize how dangerous the situation could be. Meanwhile, Zola is suffering unspeakable pain.

"What were you thinking? Do you think you can save your sister by giving her a fake address? Do you want to know what really happened to your child?"

Zola suddenly raises her head when she hears these words, "What did you say?"

The person opposite makes a pity sigh, "It looks like you know nothing...Do you really think that your child is dead just because you have been drinking?" Zola grits her teeth and says, "Mandy, tell me the truth. I am at your mercy."

"Oh, look, is this still the incredible Miss Zola Ellen?"

Mandy picks up Zola's chin with her hand, and wipes it with her dirty clothes, "You are too stupid to understand, you were tricked by your sister and you didn't get it yet."

"Oh, come on, speak! How did my child die?"

"What did you do before that?..."

Mandy carelessly rubs her nails on her hands, and then takes a breath, "Kill your father? Rob your brother-in-law? Send someone to rape your sister perhaps? Does any of these rings the bell?" "Oh, you know everything very well."

Zola cannot deny what she has done.

"So, what's the matter, you lose a child and everything is squared right? Seems fair to me."

"You!"

Zola is speechless, her head is spinning.

Was it real Sunny? Out of revenge she took the child's life, but how come no one realized that?

Does Sunny really hate her that much...

Zola is in a daze, but sees Mandy putting away things, begins to smile, "Speaking of the devil and here she comes..."

A door creaks nearby and Zola sharpens her hearing. She knows she has to speak first or all will be lost.

Sunny looks at the door, hoping it was not booty trapped.

It's just that Zola is on the other side of the door and even if she knows the danger she is running into, be it mountain's tigers or Jack the ripper, she has to go in.

Sunny pushes to open the door, and sees Zola lying there with tied up.

"Oh my! Are you Everything is gonna be alright, I am here now"

Sunny hurries in to help Zola up from the floor, and roughly checks her to ensure there are no fatal wounds.

"I'm fine... Don't be too worried..."

Zola is still aching from the whip, but it is just some scratches.

"Sit please, I have something to ask you..."

Zola's voice is weak, she really doesn't want to bring it up, but Mandy's words keep playing on her mind.

"I am listening."

Seeing her serious face, Sunny sits, ready for a long chat.

"My question is... My child, how on earth did my child die?"

Sunny is completely caught off guard, she did not expect such a question, nor she expects Zola would know the answer to that.

"I'm so sorry..." After all, she owed Zola an explanation already.

"Sorry? What am I gonna do with your "Sorry"? Is not gonna bring my child back, is it? Sunny, you destroyed my life."

"Why are you... here?"

Zola sees Sunny apparently trying to change the subject, and her heart feels a sharp emotional shooting pain, "Sunny, how could you do this to me? If you had issues with me why did not you come to me? Why did you take it on my child? He was innocent!" "I am sorry for what happened, I came to save you. It probably won't be enough, but I hope I can atone for my sins throughout my actions."

"Ha ha ha... What is funny is that I'm still trying to cover for you, Sunny, bah."

No matter what Zola says to her or what she does, it is all she can bear, she has shattered her sister's life.

Sunny is completely immersed in guilt, completely forgetting how Zola and Lora have treated her.

"I say..." Sounds a voice from behind, "Are you that forgetful?"

Sunny stands up abruptly when she hears the voice, and instinctively protects Zola.

"Who's there!?"

"Sunny... Long time no see."

Mandy walks out of the shadows with a wicked smile on her face.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
