The invasion this late at his office was obviously fishy to believe. 

Maybe the invader wanted to steal some information regarding Master Ethan and talking about the worse... some things related his work? 

Luckily, Sylendra was still there alert the guards.

Followed by the two guards, Sylendra soon reached the new cabin of Master Ethan only to see the space undisturbed. 

It was as if nothing just happened there minutes ago, only her stuffs which were lying on the couch were only the view for the guards. The white dirty shirt of her was on the table with her used napkins and her belongings.

Rest of the things were still undisturbed, strange but true. 

"Are you sure, you saw someone Mam?" 

One of the guards questioned her in silent doubt after searching the entire cabin and not finding any single clue of someone's invasion. 

The guards found no one at the sight to be sure.

Sylendra shook her head while frowning heavily. 

She gulped eyeing the place all over again, where she was held captive by the unknown man. She cannot forget the way that person grabbed her from behind and spoke to her. Even thinking about the entire scenario was giving her strict and horrified goosebumps.

Late this night, someone wouldn't play any prank on her right? Obviously no, none would dare. 

"I swear there was someone. I am very sure! I-i was changing when..."

Sylendra was about to describe more about the whole incident but stopped timely in the middle in utter shame. 

The guards looked down awkwardly and one of them cleared his throat.

It was impossible for someone to barge inside with all the heavy securities and specialised guards on duty. 

"Mam I think you are just stressed. You've worked a lot today, you should go home and take rest." 

The other guard spoke politely but in concern making her throat dry.

He clearly named her panic, hallucination. He didn't even believe her?

Also the case was same with the other guard, they both weren't believing that something like this has happened because obviously there were no signs of any disturbance in the new cabin of Master Ethan. 

"Please mam. Tomorrow is an important day!" 

The first guard initiated in a convincing way eyeing the non moving figure of Sylendra.

She was still disturbed and they were concerned about her more. 

True tomorrow is the new boss's welcome and her playing one vital role in the industry, she had to be present at first to guide him. 

But for Sylendra none seemed to serious concern except this, her mind was still stuck on the same incident. How could it be her imagination or mistake? 

She felt someone's hands over her body and also she wasn't sick to hallucinate stuffs like this right? 

Sylendra frowned deeply, was it really just a mere imagination of her? An illusion? The guard clearly stated she was stressed, which meant she was hallucinating. But it was her who experienced it all and she knew she can never be wrong about this. 

Her heart calmed down a bit but her mind was still roaming around the new cabin of Master Ethan containing his belongings in heavy doubt.  

It wouldn't be safe if she leaves. 

The guard still saw uncertainty in her eyes and sighed a deep breathe. 

Maybe understanding her concern well.

"Please mam! One of us will be here guarding the door at night, We will watch out the cabin need not worry." 

The guard mentioned with assurance making Sylendra nod in agreement eventually. 

She then proceeded to collect her belongings with her shaky hands which were still lying on the couch on the other side of the cabin. 

Whether it was a hallucination or reality, it was still traumatising for her to believe as never before she was attacked like this by someone. 

For the last time Sylendra eyed the place where she was being held her. She gulped quietly again. Maybe the guards were right, maybe! 

She wasn't having any proper rest from last few days, she lacked sleep. 

Maybe it was just her imgination but she was still horrified to divert her mind from that incident which was too good to believe unrealistically.

BROOKLYN

PRIVATE RACE TRACK

RESTRICTED AREA

Eyes closed the blonde hair man with blue pearly eyes cracked his neck while groaning slightly and stretching his arms as if he was tired. 

"It's been years, isn't it?" 

Shortly chuckling after his statement, he had all formals on. Seeming to be a man of 25 and standing with a woman beside him. 

The woman just sighed making a poker face before looking up in the dark sky calmly. 

"Do you already feel old?" 

She taunted causing the man to shake his head off. 

"No but I do feel more handsome." 

He claimed as a replied while letting out a laugh making the woman to look at him weirdly.

Both shared unique friendship of years. Payton Fayon man of 25 and Nicole Weber of 26 had been friends since childhood and now were business partners. 

But this night both united ditching their work for a purpose...

It was their other friend for whom they were waiting in their restricted owned property, the one who was finally returning back after long years of 10 and called them out of a sudden to the very same place where they last met. 

It was the tale of 10 long years, both couldn't believe that Master Ethan was finally back. 

"Still the same cheesy piece of shit after all these years!" 

Nicole commented while eyeing Payton up and down with clear disgust in reference to his earlier narcissistic statement but he just seemed to not mind her much. 

Chuckling again in response, he rolled his eyes while shoving his right both hand inside his his pocket in search of something. 

"You too spit fire but did I ever complain?" 

Payton replied parting his lips before soon settling a cigarette in between which he just took out of his pocket with his gold lighter designed richly with diamonds stating P.F in bold. 

Lighting the cigarette with it shortly. 

Then taking a long breath in, he sucked the smoke calmly before releasing it looking up in the sky as well in a calm manner. 

Shoving his lighter back in his previous pocket while getting the hold of the cigarette in between his fingers, Payton glanced at Nicole’s figure one more time beside him. 

"By the way, you are looking hot tonight." 

Payton shortly commented for Nicole making her look at him immediately with a frown of complain. 

"Quit flirting with me, Payton." 

She rolled her eyes on him while he expected that reaction well from her. 

He knew her more than anyone can ever know her. She had always been a woman of reserved attitude, the woman who speaks her mind and makes the choices of her own without depending on others for her opinions. 

But sometimes the bother with her doesn't limit till her attitude, Payton knew well what caused her to be like that.

It was the detachment which troubled her all these years of 10. She has always waited for ‘him’ and now that he is back, she can finally find her peace. 

Maybe… 

Payton sadly smiled. 

"Why, do you still like him?" 

He questioned humorously which indeed shocked Nicole with his choice of words. 

She was obviously not expecting that coming but indeed it was true. 

She always waited for Master Ethan and she still liked him deep down but admitting her feelings seemed to be one heavy dare for her. 

She didn’t wanted to be stupid while admitting her feelings for someone who hadn’t for once showed himself up in front of her in last 10 years. 

"Payton!" 

Nicole acted in defence while again Payton laughed off her reaction to cut off the thick environment caused by his question earlier. 

"Just kidding." 

Payton stated while sucking another round of smoke in his mouth for a rough long second while there Nicole stood silently again. 

Her eyes waited for one man to show up still there was no signs of him.

Knowing his personality well, Nicole never raised any complain but Payton was indeed running out of patience. 

"Speaking of him, he is still the same. The bloody late freak!" 

Payton cursed decorating a frustrated frown on his features while still looking up above. 

Standing there, it was cold and windy for both of them. They both were sitting above their rich expensive sports cars waiting for their friend to join them for a ride. 

Just like they used to do when they were young. 

But both were actually not surprised. They were in fact quite used with Master Ethan's personality and at that current moment of time Payton almost thought that it might be just one of his another prank.

They have been waiting for more than an hour now but still there was no sign of him causing one heavy doubt for them. 

But just when a deep husky voice was announced from both of their backs… all of their doubts turned black immediately. 

"But you still always wait for me!" 

To Payton's sudden surprise he immediately looked back only to witness someone letting out a scoff of mock.

Nicole's eyes captured one bulky body approaching them, so was Payton's. They both got shocked to catch a muscular figure walking towards them without any care.

He is here... 

He is finally here! 

His boot made the sound of intimidation as his eyes were still serious and dark just like it used to be before. 

Richness filled his aura, his presence became more mature than the last time they both met him. They could clearly see the difference in him as the last they saw him was 10 years ago. 

He became more masculine and stronger than he was before, his features became more manlier than before with slight hint of beard defining his masculinity.

Soon standing in front of his friends he eyed the both with a smirk of victory while the both were still overcoming the reality. 

He finally came back. 

"Missed me?"
