Chapter 109 - Shattered

Daniella found herself in front of the wooden maroon door. Her hand touched the doorknob only to find it unlocked.  

Slowly she opened it and walked inside. The dim light from the lamp was giving her a strange vibe. She moved while her vanilla scent filled in the air.  

Aside from the bed and the bedside table, the room didn't have any other furniture, it was an empty room and it gave a different feeling in Daniella's mind , like she was in a lonely world. For a moment she thought of how the room would look like if she furnished it.  

Daniella blinked, shocked that this kind of room existed. She was so stunned that she didn't mind the two women pleasuring the man who was laying on the bed with a cold face and a howl sounding like a beast was humming in the room.  

"Who are you?" the shrill sound of Ken's baritone voice made Daniella look at the bed.  

Ken's eyes narrowed to see a short figure entering his room. The only light in his room was from the light on the bedside lamp.  

The cold temperature of the room made his skin shiver despite the women on his bed pleasuring his body. Just like what he heard in the news, the sky outside started crying , that was the reason why he asked for the women to be in his room.  

"I don't remember asking for three women " he said coldly his hand went down to one of the woman's hair and he sunk his hard rod deep into her mouth while using the hair to hold her in place.  

Daniella scoffed at the yell she received from him.  

"I am not interested in joining you Mr. Chu." She blurted rolling her eyes.  

"What?" Ken asked. When the woman he was holding suddenly bit his sensitive part a painful groan let out from his lips. He pushed her aside.  

"Get out of here " he yelled irritably at the two women in his bed.  

Without wasting any time, the two left the room naked holding their clothes and shoes , bodies trembling in fear.  

Daniella watched as the two women past her in a rush, then she looked at Ken who rose from the bed naked.  

She took a sigh, walked towards what she guessed was the adjusted room which served as the dressing room. As she pushed the door open  , it was indeed the dressing room, a normal room but it gave her chills just to be inside.  

There was something about the room she couldn't explain. The wall was white with a full-body mirror stuck on it, allowing Daniella to see her reflection and despite her beauty, her room was still felt empty.  

With her jeans and V-neck long sleeves shirt, Daniella looked so simple. She walked forward and opened the closet only to find it to be filled with black, grey and navy-blue suits.  

She looked down and found some pairs of oxford shoes in black and grey, she closed it and opened the closet opposite.  

Her eyebrow rose to find polo shirts with the same color as the suit in the other closet and jeans which were folded neatly. A sigh let out from her lips as she grabbed a shirt and grey jeans. She closed it and turned around but as she did, a metal gun was pointed at her forehead.  

Daniella raised both of her hands in the air "I am Daisy."  

"How did you get inside here?" Ken's voice roared like a rumble of an angry thunder.  

Daniella shut her eyes, Ken was still naked and hard. Her hands holding his clothes stretched and handed the clothes to him.  

"Get some clothes on Mr. Chu, we are going to meet your father's killer " she said with her eyes still closed.  

Soon, the coldness of the metal on her forehead disappeared and when she heard the sound of the zipper, Daniella opened her eyes and found Ken fully dress.  

"Are you really that woman?" Ken asked doubly, his body was seated in the small leather couch in front of the full-body mirror while he tied up his shoelace.  

"Which woman?" Daniella flashed a fake confused expression on her face.  

Ken didn't reply, he stayed looking at her through the mirror. He hated repeating himself , especially to a woman.  

Daniella walked closer to him, she stood behind him and met his eyes through the mirror.  

"The woman who knocked out your men and planted the bomb in your bar. The one that took the senator and the one that knocked out the eight guard you have downstairs, yes I am that woman."  

As she finished her sentence, a cold smile plastered on her lips.  

"Why?" Ken asked he stayed looking at her through the mirror. His mind wandered as he looked at her a feeling of déjà vu rose in his chest and for a moment his heart pounded uncontrollably.  

He knew that he had seen her face before, but was unsure where. And her voice. It reminded him of the woman that has been in his mind for quite some time.  

"You reminded me of my friend's girlfriend " he suddenly blurted. He was not the type of person that likes to talk, he preferred to shut his mouth than to converse with someone but somehow he suddenly said those words.  

"I always look like someone's girlfriend, mother, sister, childhood friend " she sneered while she rubbed her palms together "that line has been used numerous times Mr. Chu, I am not here to flirt with you, we have a deal."  

Ken's narrowed his eyes as he watched the woman boast, "you don't interest me woman, looking at you would cause pain in my neck," he said coldly, sizing up her height.

"Do you have to knock out my people?" Ken continued after seeing her cheeks reddening in anger."

"Yes Mr. Chu, I can't let anyone know that I am with you. I can't let anyone see my face and especially, I can't let anyone be a the witness to what we are about to do " as she said that, Daniella moved towards him and stood in front of him.  

She squatted on the floor, her eyes focused on his eyes to read his mind.  

As she looked into his gloomy eyes, a voice sounded so firm and angry rang in her mind.  

"You stupid fool! Why did you let those kids go?"  

After the angry voice, Daniella saw a young version of Ken in what seemed to be an empty lot with an older man in front of him, a look of anger was painted on the man's face while the teenage version of Ken was kneeling on the grass.  

"How could I have a son as stupid as you!" after that sound resonated in her mind, Daniella watched the older man as he smacked the whip on Ken's body repeatedly until the boy's body collapsed to the ground.  

Daniella's lips trembled with what she had just watched, her heart pounded like never before but she needed to continue to know more about Ken. So she blinked and focused once more.  

This time the memory was different, it was calm as the flowing river.  

Under the blinding cold light of the bulb in what seemed to be a basement, a man with blood on his face was kneeling on the floor. In front of him was Ken with the older man that hit the boy in the previous memory she saw.  

Daniella gulped hard to see Ken with a gun in his hand, it was shaking like he had the Parkinson while the tears in his eyes fell like rain.  

"Kill him Ken. If you are my son, you will kill him for me."  

"No dad, please. I can't" the voice Daniella heard was from Ken but unlike the tone he used to her back in Macao and earlier the one she just heard was full of pain.  

"Kill him!" the man yelled at Ken "kill him or I will kill one of your friends. Evan or Glen, choose one son."  

"Dad please no. I can't!" Daniella pitied the boy who was begging his father, what kind of father would he be to teach his son to be a murderer.  

"let him go and give him a gun " Ken's father ordered someone.  

The man - after being freed pointed the gun at Ken.  

"Ken, kill him or he will kill you. What would it be?" Ken's father spoke.  

"I can't dad!" ken continued to refuse, still crying like a sick little baby.  

"KILL HIM KEN CHU!"  

Daniella's shoulder quivered, not by Ken's father yelling in the memory but by the sound of the gun.  

One after another, a total of five gunshots rang in her mind. And one of those shots killed the man.  

Daniella hasn't seen everything. It was only a small part of his memory but she refused to continue. She couldn't, she just couldn't . Normally, she would see the good memories stuck in the people's mind and later the dark past will follow but if the first memory she saw from Ken was as dark as that, what other gruesome memory could she possibly see if she continued.  

Her body weakened as she sat onto the floor. She gulped repeatedly while beads of sweat formed on her foreheads.  

Meanwhile, Ken was stunned to see Daisy staring at him deeply. He hated when women stare at him but as much as he wanted to scold or push her away, he couldn't , his body defied his mind which was urging him to push her away.  

"You poor little soul " hearing those words coming out of Daisy's mouth made the hidden rage in his mind exploded. He wouldn't mind hearing it, in fact it was so comforting to his ears but since it came from a woman it caused his blood to boil with anger.

Wrinkling his nose with irritation, Ken pushed her down to the ground and lay on top of her. His hands which were icily cold and clammy as death lay on the woman's shoulder and pinned her down to the floor.  

His eyes blazed with anger while his lips pressed tightly.  

But instead of getting scared by the sudden anger that Daniella saw in Ken's eyes, she lifted a hand and caressed his cheeks. She discovered an unknown world, wild as primeval chaos in Ken's eyes while the trauma shining in them was so cunningly similar to the trauma that had been hunting her.  

"You're just as shattered as I am " she rustled faintly like a falling dew.
