Purple Romance

Country A

In a luxurious military structured style mansion that stood tall among the other military structures in Country A, a young man in the state's military uniform walked into the house and entered further into a study room. He stood in front of a man who had his back to him and spoke.

''Sir, the young Miss has been found''

''She… was really alive all these years? Interesting!!'' the man asked in an amused tone that sounded cold at the same time.

''Yes, Sir. So what do we do? She is currently in Touching Lives Healing Village at Touch Island working as a doctor under a Professor called Nicholas Glow''

''Turns out she followed in that man's steps? Blood is really thicker than water. Have you found out where that housekeeper was hiding her all these years? It's really a miracle that she had stayed hidden for so long making me to waste so much resources in tracking her down''

''They are currently in B-City. Everything about that woman and the young Miss has been sent to your email. What are you orders, now that we have found her?''

''My orders?'' he chuckled as his fingers pressed onto the cigarette in the middle of his fingers. It broke and fell to floor into pieces and he asked in a sly voice laced with mockery ''what just happened to the cigarette?''

''You just got rid of it, sir'' the young man answered.

''Do same with her. We should get rid of the roots before it sprouts, right? We can't allow a person who was supposed to be dead already to still be alive. She should die in order for everything to return to order and peace will reign. Do this discretely and don't let the old man find out about her existence''

''Don't worry, sir. I will personally go and take care of it'' the young man said and man on the seat smiled nodding his head.

''I will be expecting good news then, don't disappoint me Cassaz''

''Sure sir'' with that the young man bowed before him before leaving. The chair turned to reveal a man who a sinister grin. His left eye was covered with glass like single spectacle.

''After all these years, I finally found you, housekeeper Newalla. Let's see if you can run away from me now'' his eyes were cold as he stared at a picture of a man and a woman holding a small baby in her hands. They had a warm smile as they gazed upon the baby affectionately. The man scoffed and stood up from his chair. He went closer to the giant picture on the wall.

''In the end, I am the one sitting in the throne and you and your wife are long dead, but don't worry. I know you must have missed your daughter so much, so I intend to make her join you two very soon. I told you I was going to wipe out your entire generation from this kingdom and have the last laugh, elder brother''

He picked the whisky glass on the table and sipped a bit of it before throwing the glass at the wall

...….

Late at night, Jordan reached home late after going to check on his business. He went into Jessi's room to check on her before going to bed and saw that she was turning in her bed. Her forehead was sweaty and she was mumbling incoherently.

''Don't, please, don't leave big sis''

Jordan frowned and hurriedly sat on the bed and touched her. her body was burning up and she seemed to have a fever. He jolted her out of sleep and upon seeing him, she clung unto him and started weeping.

''Jessi, is alright. You are safe now. You are burning up, I will call the doctor first'' Jordan said and tried to stand up but Jessi wrapped her legs weakly around his waist and her hands around his shoulder neck tightened. She didn't want to let go. He sighed and stood up with her like that and went into his room to get his phone.

A few minutes after the call, the family doctor arrived and checked on Jessi. He gave her an injection and connected a drip onto her.

Jessi relaxed on the bed as he looked at Jordan and the doctor chatting.

''The young Miss seemed to have a nightmare''

''But, she hadn't had one in a long time''

''You will have to ask her what it was about, but I suggest you see a psychologist''

''Yes, thank you''

The doctor left and Jordan went to sit on the bed closer to Jessi.

''You heard the doctor, right?'' he said to her and she nodded her head, ''then, would you like to tell me what happened?'' Jessi kept quiet. :'Listen, you know you can talk to me, right? Jessi, are you really not going to tell me about the accident?''

''I don't want to talk about it''

''I can't help you if you don't tell me the truth. Jessi, are you hiding something about the accident?'' Jessi turned her back to him and closed her eyes. Jordan sighed feeling frustrated.

''What change will it make if I told you? I can never walk again'' Jessi suddenly spoke.

''But, I will be able to get justice for you. Paige told me her professor is interested in meeting with you''

''I don't want to go through any pain again''

''How about you meet him first? Didn't you say you missed them already. It's been two weeks since they left, they are going to be so happy if we paid them a surprise visit'' Jessi turned and looked at him after hearing that.

"'I don't have much hopes on walking again, so I don't want to waste my time building another hope knowing well that it will hurt if I end up not getting any better results''

''This isn't going to be a treatment. Carl majored in psychology, she could be of help. Besides, didn't you say that you want to get her and Lucas together? If you go there, you can be able to speak up for Lucas''

''That's right. I will go with you then'' Jessi said.

''Okay, we will go next week after I am done with my business meetings''

Jessi looked at Jordan and smiled.

.....

''Mom, there is no lack of food here, Paige and I are eating well. Everything is going on well, you don't need to worry too much'' Carlien said into the phone as she stood at the entrance of the OPD talking to her mother on the phone. She was in blue top and trouser doctor scrubs.

''Yes, I will tell her. Take care of yourself too, love you, mom'' Carlien hung up and turned to go inside when she heard her name.

''Big sis'' Jessi called out as soon as she got out of the car and sat on her wheelchair with the help of Jordan.

Carlien turned back and saw Jordan pushing Jessi in the wheelchair towards her and she smiled and waved at them as they got nearer.

''Jessi, hi'' Carlien bent down and kissed her cheek after they got to her.

''Did you miss me, big sis?'' Jessi asked curiously, not hiding her excitement.

''Off course, I missed you. hi Jordan'' Carlien greeted him.

''How are you, Carly?'' Jordan asked and looked at her. he was glad she was looking alright.

:'I'm fine. Here is the key to our place, you go ahead, I will get Paige and we will be there shortly'' Carlien said and took the keys from her pocket and gave to Jordan.

''Sure''

''See you soon, big sis''

''Off course'' Carlien dashed inside the hospital hurriedly to call Paige. Jordan turned with Jessi to go and saw the middle aged man pruning flowers. He furrowed his brows as he looked at the man that seemed familiar in his eyes. Jordan was sure he saw him somewhere. Because he was someone who remembered things clearly. When he first got there and saw Carlien outside making a call, he noticed the man acting as if he was taking pictures of her. He wasn't sure what he saw was right because he could also be mistaken.

The man immediately took his eyes away after been scrutinized in that manner by Jordan. He turned and concentrated on pruning the flowers.

''Elder brother, what are you looking at?'' Jessi asked and looked at him.

''Oh, nothing, let's go'' he said and pushed her forward.

Less than five minutes later, Paige ran into their quarters and saw Jordan and Jessi seated in the hall. they made themselves at home as Jordan took water out of their fridge and unscrewed it for Jessi.

''Big sis, you are here?'' Jessi said as she looked at Paige who was at the door. Paige looked at Jordan dreamily as her lips curved into a smile. He walked to her and hugged her first before leaning down to kiss her when Carly cleared her throat making him stop.

''Paige's room is to the left, you two can take the PDA over there and have mercy on single dogs like Jessi and I''

''My words exactly'' Jessi chipped in.

''Jessi, how are you?'' Paige said and walked shyly away from Jordan who smirked.

''I'm fine, but I want to see the scenery outside, second big sis, can you take me out?'' Jessi asked and looked at Carlien.

''Sure, I will show you all the good places here'' Carlien said and placed her hands on Jessi's wheelchair.

'"You two are making it obvious that you are leaving us'' Paige said.
