New identity

Days passed by in the blink of an eye

The soft, natural light pours in through large windows, casting a warm glow on the peaceful surroundings. Colleagues work together as their conversations and laughter create a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

On another side of the surroundings, fee colleagues gathered seemingly having a peaceful conversation

"Long time Ethan, I heard you requested a transfer and will be having a lecture today at Kingstone High School, Making a comeback I see," A man sitting on a high stool with his hands on the table teased

"Yes" answered Sial Night curtly while adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses with a smile, he gave off a gentlemanly aura. Maybe it was his refined look or perhaps the soft tone of his voice he unintentionally gives off a sense of security

"That's amazing! Your lectures are undoubtedly the best, I found it a waste of talent when you suddenly retreated a few years back. Any specific focus for the lecture?" Another colleague asked curiosity

Sial Night gave a slight smile, Making the colleague gasp, This man wasn't merely good-looking! The term simply was an understatement he has a unique future with blonde hair and a dashing smile making the colleague fall into a daze

"Empathy in medicine, challenges and advice" Sial Night's soft voice brought him out of his daze

The colleague embarrassedly scratched his head "Okay I'm here if you need any assistance with the preparation"

"Thank you, I have it covered" Sial shooked his head, then stood up picked up his coat, taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, his driver came out

"Mr Cole" he bowed

Sial Night nodded and entered the car

"Where to sir?", the driver asked starting the car

"Kingstone High School" Sial answered softly, Almost inaudible, he leaned back on the seat and placed his rough hand on his forehead, slowly massaging them

The driver peered a glance at his boss through the rearview mirror silently and accelerated the car

…

In no time, they arrived at Kingstone High School where a bunch of reporters with their camera sets were ready at the entrance.

It was initially intended to be a simple lecture, but due to Ethan's Cole renowned reputation and his aversion to public exposure, it transformed into a grand event. Every single Reporter present was eager to have a captivating headline to cover to write about

Sial stepped out of the car, And a line of bodyguards made a barrier to shield him from the headline-hungry reporters.

"Mr Cole — over here!!" A reporter screamed

"Mr Cole look up here"

Intense flashing of the camera continued

Sial Night walked gracefully to the hoards of reporters leaving metres between them, seeing this the reporters quickly rushed over

Sial looked over and glanced at his watch

"I've got a minute to spare, please go on and ask topics mainly related to today's event.," he said with a hint of warning.

The reporters understood his warning and cautiously asked

"Mr Cole, What is the reason behind your sudden decision to be in the limelight"

Sial Night smiled, A sharp glint passing through his eyes with a knowing smile he answered "Limelight? This was initially meant to be a normal lecture, So tell me who is really after the limelight?"

The reporter blushed being seen through, He shrunk back into the crowd

Seeing this other Reporters measured their words carefully

"Mr Cole, If you don't mind May I?" Another reporter asked

Sial Night gestured for him to proceed

"As someone who has been away from the public eye, there hasn't been much information available about your family. Would you be willing to provide some details about them? Our audience is curious to learn more."

Sial Night's hands trembled slightly, his expressionless face cracking slightly

Family?

A wave of deep emotion washed over him, stirring up memories and pain

Yes, Family.

Once upon a time, I had a family.

I knew peace.

And my life… wasn't exposed to endless dangers.

But that day…twelve years ago, Shattered everything. I lost not only my loved ones, Heh! But also a part of myself as well.

The echoes of their scream still hunt me, A constant reminder of the mysterious force that descended upon our once peaceful home, Snuffing out the lives of my loved ones

The pain and anguish consumed me, igniting a burning desire for justice and…

Revenge!

As Sial's emotions threatened to overwhelm him, his fingers curled into a tight fist. The tension in his hand mirrored the turmoil within his heart. With each clench, he silently fought to regain control, channelling his pain and anger into something else.

Taking deep breath, He thought rationally,

From the folder, it said Ethan Cole had adopted a daughter who attended Kingstone high

With a smile on his face, Sial turned towards the camera and replied, "Sure! I live with my daughter. She brings so much joy and love into my life." He continued to keep up his disguise, maintaining a cheerful demeanour.

"Mr Cole, one last question please"

"Do you have a goal behind your sudden come-back?" These specific questions garnered a lot of curiosity from the Reporters as they all raised their Camera

Sial's eyes glazed with a mysterious glint

"Yes! My determination to uncover the truth and change the world" he said with a deeper meaning

Saying that he walked away from the reporters and matched straight into the building.

….

Finishing up his main objective for his visit, he asked the driver to take him back to the house designated to him by the organization.

As he stepped into the house he immediately felt a presence, Turning back he saw a young girl with captivating hazel eyes and unique hair with an amethyst purple shade, Who should be almost the same age as he was if he wasnt wearing a disguise, she stared at him with a sneer

"Oh, look who decided to grace us with their presence!"

As soon as he entered he was greeted by a sarcastic remark from his adopted daughter, Evelyn Cole

" I see we're rolling out the red carpet for my arrival, how kind of you! Why don't you use that same effort to study upstairs" With a playful smirk he walked to the couch and sat down

Rolling her eyes, she stomped her feet and walked upstairs

"Wait," he said

She paused her movement and folded her arms with an irritated expression she faced him

"I'm going out, Practice your piano and go to bed"

"Ugh, fine. I'll practice the piano and go to bed. Just what I wanted to do tonight." Evelyn said as she rolled her eyes, walking to her room she closed the door with a slam

Sial Night curved up his lips, Stood up and left
