Chapter 5 - 5: The Difference
While Blaze stayed by Amelia's side patiently waiting for her to regain consciousness, Marcus became his ears and eyes outside the hospital world.
Following his boss's rigid instructions, Marcus employed the services of a ghost team made up of a tracker, a hacker and a ferocious hunter.
This lethal team were given two major pieces of information - the plate number of the escaping BMW car and the location of the crash site - to carry out their mission. They were funded and set loose, to track down the three suspicious criminals responsible for Amelia's almost fatal condition.
Within hours, the abandoned BMW was tracked down to Fin City, 100km north of Hilbor County.
Upon further investigation, the tracker discovered that they were not the only ones looking for the escaped criminals. Another equally funded group were
"Gwen..." Blaze's handsome face contoured. "That rotten daughter of the shameless mistress?"
"The same manipulative one, sir." Marcus also expressed his disgust for the new bride.
"How original." Blaze scoffed. "The rotten apple doesn't really fall far from the tree. Like mother, like daughter, both scums of the twenty-first century."
Blaze rose from his seat, anger bubbling in his veins like molten lava. He felt like punishing someone for the pain Amelia was currently going through. Taking one pitiful look at her battered face, fury swelled in his heart like a raging storm.
'How could she have been so blind all these years? Surely, there must have been a sign or something to tell her that her family never loved her.'
Blaze felt like punching a hole through the wall. But then he remembered that the Shawls were very good if not excellent at manipulating people. If Gregory could deceive his father and rip him off years of hard work, leading to his stroke and untimely death, then deceiving his own daughter wasn't a difficult task.'
Blaze exhaled deeply releasing all the anger in him. He slowly walked back to her bedside and sat down beside her, staring blankly into her peaceful face. A weird smile formed on his lips as a thought crossed his heart.
Everything happening in Amelia's life seemed like deja vu. First, the mistress steals the limelight, wasting no time in taking the golden spot of the true heiress of the Shawls family, after her death. And now, the illegitimate daughter displaces the real daughter of the true heiress in other to steal her weakling of a fiance and her fortune. The perfect cycle of life for the filth of the earth.
But in their greed and selfishness lies their karma; a pushover male, wealth and power. Take these three things from them and they will be left handicapped like toothless dogs chasing after their tails.
"The perfect antidote to the Shawls' poison. Blaze muttered under his breath, chuckling bitterly.
"Did you say something, boss?" Marcus asked.
"Huh... no." Blaze forgot that Marcus was still on the phone. "What about the dickless f**ker who calls himself her fiance?"
"Acting a bit weird, boss. He seems a bit uptight for someone marrying the girl of his dreams. If I didn't know any better, I would say he's aware of the replacement."
"Of course he is?" Blaze scoffed. "Keep a tab on the asshole and keep me posted on any new report. I will talk to you later." Blaze ended the call.
At that same time, he received another call from his dearest mother.
"Son, where are you?"
