Finished
Arthur lit a cigarette and took a slow drag. Once he finished, he pinched off the burning end with his fingers and turned away, heading off to gather more useful intel.
Back at the hospital, Charles was given an injection. His heart wasn’t in great shape, and with his emotions running high, Blaine had added a mild sedative to his IV.
It wasn’t often that Charles slept deeply, but this time, his rest was anything but peaceful.
He drifted into a dream, thrown back to that night years ago when a business rival had him cornered. They’d surrounded him, determined to make sure he never made it home. The cutthroat nature of corporate competition had sunk to such depths that it filled him with a cold, quiet rage.
All for the sake of market share–the other side was ready to erase the competition for good.
He never expected them to play so dirty. They’d walked right into a trap. His security team covered his escape, holding the line while he ran. But even then, they chased him down until he was backed against the wall.
He was sure it was over. They weren’t just here to scare him–they wanted him gone. Taking him out would clear the board for them, no messy loose ends.
He thought the legacy of the Myers family would end right there. But at the last possible moment, Chloe showed up and changed everything.
“A whole crew ganging up on one old man? Real classy, guys.”
Her voice was calm, almost casual. Then a shadow moved under the night sky, and a figure stepped into the dim light, stained with blood. For a moment, everyone froze.
Charles had seen his share of dirty dealings; he was no stranger to the rough side of business. But the sight of that young woman, covered in blood, left him speechless.
She couldn’t have been more than a girl–her face still held something youthful, almost soft. But her eyes were steady, resolved. Surrounded, she showed no trace of fear. If anything, she looked… bored.
Life or death was just another moment to her.
Amid the jeers and threats from the men closing in, she only muttered, “You talk too much,” and then she moved.
By the time anyone understood what was happening, every one of his pursuers was on the ground. Alive or dead, he didn’t stick around to check.

All he knew was that this girl had appeared like something out of a myth, standing there in the haze of blood, smiling faintly at him.
“Get out of here. Now. If you wait, it’ll be too late. More are coming…”
Chloe stood amid the carnage, still smiling at him. Then her legs gave out. He tried to rise, to pull her to safety, but as he moved, pools of dark blood seemed to seep up from the ground itself, spreading like a tide, swallowing them both.
He watched Chloe’s form disappear into that redness and cried out, voice ragged with panic.
“Kid-!”
He jolted upright in the hospital bed, breathing hard. It took him a moment to recognize the sterile room around him–the beige walls, the faint smell of antiseptic. Just a dream.
But the dream felt too vivid, too raw. Even now, awake, his heart hammered against his ribs.
In the real memory, all those years ago, after Chloe had taken down those men, she’d warned him to run. More would be coming soon, she’d said–and if he stayed, neither of them would make it out.
He’d been too stunned by what she’d done to speak. More people than this? What kind of trouble was she in?
Before he could ask, she collapsed.
He remembered looking down at her small frame on the pavement. Her face seemed so young -was she even eighteen? His own grandson Arthur was older. And her last words echoed in his head. “They’re coming for me.”
There’d been no time to learn who she was or why they wanted her. All he knew was that this girl had saved his life, and in doing so, saved his family’s future.
Luckily, his assistant showed up soon after with a couple of hired security guys. They cleaned up the scene and got him out fast, covering their tracks.
So why now, years later, would he dream a version that wasn’t true–and feel it so violently, like it was happening all over again?
