When my eyes fluttered open, the first thing that came across my view was the hazy white ceiling. After blinking several times, the blur didn't fade so I was forced to close my eyes again and wait a few seconds until my vision cleared. Hell, where am I? What happened?

It was pitch black outside when we sneaked inside the Greyson building. The peaceful night was disturbed by the flash of lightning and it was followed by the deafening sound of thunder. The rain began to pour heavily from the sky. The timing is just great. Who would have thought that we would invade the building at a very unlikely time. Clad in a black overall, we managed to successfully trespass the heavy guarded back entrance after Lucas single-handedly defeated the roving guards. I walked past the…

"Ace, please be careful…" Phoenix stood in front of the door, her hand waving. She looked ethereal in the pink dress she wore. Her vibrant inky hair fell down her shoulders like a magnificent waterfall. It took me an incredible amount of self-control to stop myself from running towards her arms. Once I ran back, I knew I couldn't stop myself from staying. I have no option but to just watch her before I go or else I would not have the courage to leave. She picked Faith Vienne from her stroller and…

For the second time Lucas Nicholas asked Vien but the pitiful child hastily shook her head and tears began to fall abundantly down her pale cheeks. Vien's shoulder shook violently, but despite how hard she cried no sound came from her dry lips. He stared at the child, shocked and lost. For the first time in his life, he wasn't able to say a thing. He opened his lips to tell her everything's going to be fine but he was surprised when he couldn't say the words out loud. He hugged the child instead. It…

Lucas Nicholas watched the little girl lying on the hospital bed and he nearly wept when the nurse changed her in a white hospital gown, and he saw the purple bruises all over her body. Tightly clenching his fists, his eyes wandered to her extremely thin frame. She was so malnourished that her skin was sticking to her ribs. Viince must be starving her to death. He wondered when was the last time the child had a decent meal. Vince was the incarnation of the devil. He used the girl as a tool for his…
