It was a fine day and the weather is nice. In contrast to how calm and peaceful at the outskirts, the city remains busy as always.
Since Kith is on a little vacation, his siblings are busy with their daily routines.
In CC's case, as a doctor, she's busy with her rounds checking the patients and her scheduled operations. And also going on a date with Zed.
In Boy's case, aside from looking out for their business and the mech shop, he's busy stepping up his game to make Miya his officially.
Meanwhile, Zy is on leave. He wanted to spend some time with his family and take this chance to bond with his son.
But their youngest is a different story. Since Jer doesn't have someone to spend his time with except his siblings and their business, he's using his time to follow his eldest brother's task for him in picking up their sister especially when Zed is not available.
But, little did they know, they are being watched by the clan that attacked CC before. It's Shiena's clan.
One day, Jer took off and used Kith's car to pick up CC. He noticed that he is being followed on his way to SMC. He tried calling his brother Zy.
"Hello-
*loud crash*
"Fuck!" Jer said.
Zy got alarmed hearing it.
"Hello? Jer? What's going on? Where are you?!" Zy asked, in panic.
Jer couldn't answer because he lost hold of his phone earlier.
"Aish! These bastards,"
Zy can only hear what Jer is saying. He keeps trying to reach him but all he can hear is Jer's cursing until the call was cut.
Meanwhile, CC is waiting for Jer to arrive.
"What the hell happen to, Jer? I've been waiting for an hour already," CC said to herself.
Then her phone starts ringing. She looked at her phone and saw Zy's name and answered it.
"Yes? What do you need?" CC asked jokingly.
"CC, Jer has been kidnapped!" Zy said frantically.
"What?! When?! Where?! Are you sure? Who has the guts to do this to us?" CC asked Zy.
"I don't know but I already reported it on the precinct and there is an ongoing investigation and search for Jer," Zy said
"I'm on my way to the mansion with Leng and dave they'll be safe there, let's meet there," Zy added, and CC hung up then she calls Boy.
"Where the hell is you?!" CC didn't even say hello to Boy.
"Why are you shouting, sis? I'm in our shop working, duh," Boy answered.
"We need to get to the mansion now! Jer has been kidnapped and we don't know who did it!" CC exclaimed.
"Fuck! Who dared to do this to Jer?! I'm on my way now," Boy said in a serious tone.

Jer's POVI was trying to reach for my phone when suddenly the other black car bumped into my car.
My vision is fuzzy because of the impact. But I can still see enough and saw 3 men get out of the car and start walking towards my car. Then I heard the other guy speak.
"Jackpot! We got the heir of Stark!" One of the men said while laughing.
Then they opened my door to get me.
"This is not Kith Stark, dumbass! Let's go!" the other man said.
"This is not Kith but this is their youngest brother. Jer Stark," the third man answered.
"Still a Stark. So, put him inside our car already. I hear sirens. Let's get out of here," the first man said.

The next day, at the cabin, Kali and Kith are watching a series while cuddling. Kith wonders how he can ask her girlfriend about the surgery.
"Should I ask her now or not? Can I convince her to take that surgery for her to live more and be with us without limit?" he thought.
Kali seems to notice that Kith is very quiet and not in his usual self.
"Babe, are you alright? Is there something bothering you?" Kali asked.
"Ahmm, can I ask you something?" Kith asked instead of answering.
"Mn, sure. What is it?" Kali asked as she sits properly.
"About that surgery, will you take it?" Kith asked hesitantly.
"Did my parents ask you to convince me?" Kali asked back. Her demeanor changed.
"No, this is me asking you," Kith answered.
Kali is studying his face. "I don't want to talk about it," she said focusing back on the T.V.
"We need to talk about it, babe. Your life is at stake here," Kith said in a serious tone.
Kali didn't answer that's why Kith picked up the remote and shut the T.V. off.
"Okay, fine. I will not take another one. Not until I really have to," Kali answered annoyed.
"What? You'll wait for that to happen while we can fix your heart now?" Kith is keeping his cool.
"For goodness sake! Why?! Why all of you are pushing me to undergo another surgery? Can't you just let me take a break first?" Kali said standing up.
Kali paused to breathe. Her breathing is starting to get shallow.
"Look at this ugly thing on my body, it's not even healed yet and all of you are pushing me to get another one? Can't I just rest first? I'm a doctor, Kith. I know what I need to do. I know I need that surgery but not now," She added.
"I'm just scared I might lose you because of this!" Kith burst out.
Kali took a deep sigh, "I understand you. But what I want from you and them is to understand where I am coming from. What I went through is hard and I know I will need to take that path again but not now,"
Kali's eyes are starting to get watery.
"If you are all afraid for me, I am too. I'm afraid that I will not make it. To be honest, at first, I don't mind dying. That's why I didn't do anything when I learned about it. But it changed. My mind changed because of you. Now, I want to live longer because finally, I have you here with me. My life became worth living," Kali said wiping her tears.
"I'm tired. I want to rest,"
Kali said before turning around and heading upstairs. Kith watched her and when the door closes, Kith ruffled his hair. He went outside to take calming breaths and to think about what Kali said when suddenly, a loud crash was resonated.
He turned around at the sound. Then his eyes widened and he rushed inside.
"Babe!"
Sorry.
