Dmitry watched as she got inside her car and drove away. Truth was, from the first day he sighted her, he had been wondering why she had the same resemblance with Rose.
Ruby on the other end had no resemblance with any of her kids. Could it be that he was deceived? Although he already has a DNA test at home that proves that Ruby is the mother of his kids but now that he’s beginning to think about it, what if it was forged?
Dmitry sighed. He set his gaze on the grave yards of Valentina and Tatiana and his hurts deeply again. The only family he has now is his grandfather and … his new best friend.
Five years ago, he had found himself drowning inside the sea. He didn’t know how he got there nor did he remember anything about himself. About to drown to death, he saw someone swim towards him and then helped him to the brink of the sea.
He sat weakly on the sea sand and gaped at the horrible injuries in his body. There were all sorts of deep scars and he didn’t even know how he had sustained them. Also, his hand was cuffed to the back.
The young and handsome man who had helped him out of the sea helped him in taking the cuff off his hands.
“It seems some people were trying to kill you,” the man had said. He was in the same age range as Dmitry and was even hotter and more handsome than Dmitry at that moment. Perhaps because Dmitry had been brutalized.
“I do not remember anything,” Dmitry had responded back.
The man squinted his face a little, “How about your name?”
“I can’t… I can’t remember anything.” Dmitry said.
The man exhaled and said, “I’m Anthony by name. Although I’d come here for snorkeling, I can take you over to our health center for immediate treatment.”
Dmitry nodded. He swiftly carried him from the sandy edge of the sea far away from the sea for there were no cars around. When they got to where his bike was, he sat on the bike while Dmitry sat at the back then he drove him over to his health center.
As the bike sped up, Dmitry noticed the place was more like an Island. It looked like a private property rather than a public beach.
Soon, the man had stepped down and helped him inside the health center.
When Dmitry’s top was removed, the nurses found even deeper scars, the bones of his back could almost be seen. All these were reported to Anthony. Anthony ensured that Dmitry received the best treatment and he’s always going to check on him.
All these while, he had already taken his picture and had his men search for his identity through out all the cities in the world.
About two weeks later, Anthony’s men had got back to him that Dmitry was in fact the most powerful man in a city called Leaf City.
Anthony ensured that Dmitry fully recovered from his scars. All these while, they had grown very close, always spending time together. Anthony also had the best doctors helping Dmitry psychologically. It had been established that there was no way he’s getting his memory back but there were a few psychological moves they could make.
Two months later, Anthony revealed Dmitry’s true identity to him and then flew him over to Leaf City the following day. Ever since then, Anthony had always come once in a while to pay Dmitry a visit, and Dmitry always valued every visit of his as he was the one that saved him from death.
Dmitry knew a lot about his friend such as what his favorite food was, what his favorite color was and all that but what Dmitry didn’t know is that Anthony is not only the most powerful man in his city, he rules the entire West with immense power and strength. Anthony Roosevelt, the youngest emperor in Asia, had ruled with an iron fist. He became an emperor at the age of nine for that was when his father was assassinated.
Anthony Roosevelt didn’t reveal that royal side of him to his friend. Infact, not only did Anthony owns the sea that Dmitry was drowning in, he owned the entire Island surrounding it.
Back to the present! Dmitry, while driving away from the cemetery, had received news that his friend Anthony Roosevelt is in the city. He was having a meeting with the mayor of the city at the moment but will be at Dmitry’s house in thirty minutes.
Dmitry smiled as he drove home, he can’t wait to see his best friend again.
Whereas, Natasha had driven straight to the mall to get a particular jewelry. It’s popularly known as the Moonlight bracelet. It was just auctioned off to the highest bidder a day before yesterday and was now on sale at double the amount it was auctioned for.
When Natasha heard about the bracelet in the news, it made her remember her mother. For her mother had told her that her forefathers were the original custodian of Moonlight jewelries but the government bullied them and took it from them while compensating them with a ridiculous amount of money.
Natasha felt like this was an opportunity to get it back. It’s not even about the cost, it’s about how valuable this bracelet is to her family. Natasha, now in the jewelry court of the mall, was looking through the different jewelries.
All of a sudden, she sighted it. She immediately walked over, “hey… What’s the cost of the Moonlight bracelet?”
“I’ll need to call the manager to ask. Although as at thirty minutes ago, it was four hundred thousand.”
“Four hundred thousand yuan?”
“Dollars miss.” The jeweler answered.
“Okay, ask your manager,” Natasha said, wondering why the price keeps fluctuating.
Two minutes later, the jeweler dropped the phone and said to Natasha, “it’s now five hundred thousand dollars. Could be more in another thirty minutes so I’ll advise you to buy it now if you’ve got the money. It’s an asset.”
Half a million dollars for just a bracelet? Isn’t that insane?
“I’ll pay double. Pack it for me.” A voice came from behind.
