Chapter 1: My Mysterious Benefactor

Hahh! Hahh! Hahh! "Run! Run! Run and don't look back Mia!", says the man to the woman in a red dress. With lightning speed, Mia came out from the dark alley and run across the road not noticing the black jaguar car coming on her way and bang! Mia flew from the impact of the car hitting the pavement, she saw that the car continued driving and she hoarsely whisper yellow, abl 2437 before darkness engulf her.

From the deep abyss of a dark tunnel, Mia sees a tiny bit light far away from her and a voice whispering coming from a hollow tunnel, "please wake up my love".

Wondering why her body is sore, Mia tried to open her eyes, follows the beam of lights and the warmth voice echoing from a distance.

I pressed the bell and shouts, "Nurse, nurse, she moves, she moves her hand!". Then came the doctor and nurses frantically checking her vital signs and body movements. With the noises above her, she opened her eyes and a throaty squeak comes out from her mouth. The man beside the hospital bed silently prayed thankfully when he heard it, clasp her hand and kissed it.

One day after....

"Who are you?, asked Mia. "How do you know my name? What happened to me?" she continued asking. Wondering in her head, looking at him from the side eyes from head to toes and was caught by the man and he smiles. " I am Gilberto Francois. I found you unconscious at the road, lying in a pool of blood so i brought you to this hospital. The nurses found your ID tag in your hand when i brought you to the emergency room", says the man gently.

"Oh, thank you so much. You are my Angel", whispered Mia.

"You're welcome Mia. Just rest and make yourself well".

"What happened to my friend? Did you find him? A group of men accosted us with iron pipes in the alley, robbed us but when a man tried to molest me, my friend James fought and told me to run and that's when a car hit me", she tearfully tells Gilberto.

"No, we did not find anybody within the vicinity when my bodyguard looked around while checking you out and lifting you to the car. However, my bodyguard found these items lying around in the alley near you", Gilberto explained. Then he turned at the side, opened the drawer near her and brought out the assorted items. His hand showed her earrings, small bracelet, a black pouch and her diamond studded hair clips.

Staring at the pieces of jewelry, she hoarsely asked, "one piece is missing, my family ring which my parents recently gave me on my birthday just a week ago.

Where is James? What happened to him?", she muttered to herself.

Knocked! knocked! a middle aged woman entered the ward and says "good morning young master, good morning young miss".

Gilberto introduced the old lady named Lalisa to Mia. "She will take care of your needs Mia. I need to go to the company for a few hours today. Just ask her okay? ", Gilberto tells her while staring at her gently.

"Thank you Gilberto for all your help and concern", bowing her head and barely whispered "someday, i will pay you back for everything you have done helping me", Mia said her eyes glistening with tears while looking at his back walking out of the ward.
