I Am Sorry

"You know he's not one hundred percent wrong in this, right? Your safety was compromised when Ethan goes on a rampage and searches for your whereabouts. The other agents were worried about your credibility at the time, you had a lot of enemies inside and outside The Cabal, if Daryl didn't do what he did to Ethan, he wouldn't live. They will torture him, and you know it is either you or him, you don't want to be in that situations where you have to choose"

Raymond sighed and prepared to face Helena's anger after he finished expressing his thoughts, what's more the three of them were close friends from their teenage years. He didn't want because of this issue, their friendship will breaks.

But the long -awaited anger did not appear, Helena lowered her head and held her forehead with her hands, she took a deep breath and saw Raymond's pale face as if scared.

"i know..i understand, i have no courage to face him now, not until i get better, i am a walking shell Ray..i have no goals now, no desire, nothing motivates me anymore, i can not let go of wanting a more simple life, the life that i will not have, at least not in this world."

Their conversation stops when Helena's co -worker returns from their lunch, several young men in thick glasses and white jackets bow in a sign of respect when they see Raymond who is a legend in the computer world. Raymond no longer wants to force Helena to make peace with Daryl, this will not happen if forced, he helps Helena pack their leftovers and throw away the trash before circulating to the top floor of his office.

At the villa, Daniel stretched his legs after an intense work out session at Cade's residential gym, as a result of discussions between Daniel and the landlord, they reached an agreement to develop Daniel's newest casino on the 40 acres land, Daffodil city is located in the middle of the city of hibiscus and orchids, making it a hub between the two cities.

Cade and Molly will be engaged soon, their engagement ceremony will take place in two weeks, Daniel must return to Jasmine City to finishing up his works before returning on the day of Cade and Molly's engagement.

The distance between Jasmine city and Orchid city is 2 hours and 30 minutes by air. Daniel thought for a moment before sending a message to his secretary to prepare his private jet to leave for home tomorrow.

His mind still wandering about the Odd eyed woman he met, Helena has been occupying his mind lately, she is like a Pandora box, her existence will be the cursed for him, a source of great and unexpected trouble.

The cloudy clouds from this morning finally gave way and let the heavy rains wet the earth, a strong wind shook the neatly plated trees outside the villa's courtyard and every drop of rain shattered after touching the road surface, the lightning strikes making the weather like a storm.

Helena sat on the frame of her bed watching the storm from the balcony glass door in the room. Her fingers shook when she took 2 pills from her bedroom table and swallowed the pill and drank a sip of water to relieve her self. Rain is a blessing for some people, but for Helena it is a curse. It was a painful reminder of her life.

After trying to calm herself and taking the sedative prescribed by Soraya, Helena lay herself on the bed and stared at the fan on the ceiling, slowly she counted the numbers backwards to speed up the effect of the medicine. The room felt as if a whirlwind and was spinning and carrying her along, the flat ceiling turning crooked and winding, Helena's eyes getting heavier and she fought it hard, but the medicine has finally kicked in making her fell asleep.

The rain outside was still raging, the wind blowing harder and harder. the clouds blackened like a dark night, the sound of the wind blowing was heard in interspersed with lightning and thunder, Helena was still motionless and had slept as deep as she could as if not affected by the conditions outside.

At the same time in a modern villa just outside the City, Ethan held his scar on the chest tightly, every time it rains, his mind subconsciously sending a signal to his pain receptor and the scarred will throb, he hasn't tell his wife about the medicine he took no longer has an effect on him, he refused to make her worry, feeling bad enough he had dream of another woman lately, guilty feeling arise in him making him slightly hating himself.

He visited countless of doctors to see if he suffered from any amnesia, and every doctors confirm based on the MRI result, his brain activity is normal.
